Doritos now have a product called "Roulette", in which some of the chips in the bag are really spicy.

I emailed Banksy today. I told him I like him and I asked 4 questions: 1. Who are your favorite artists? 2. How do you feel about net neutrality? 3. What are your favorite films? 4. Do you like having fame? I can't wait for a response.

Part of the Bossk costume from 'Star Wars Episode 5: Empire Strikes Back' was recycled from 'Doctor Who'�, which in return was a recycled Royal Air Force spacesuit.

Why are O.J. Simpson costumes no longer sold? The gloves don't fit.

I hate TV ads. Car and electronic commercials tend to pander to the wealthy by being really pretentious. Every medicine ad is the exact same, just video of people doing mundane things with a narrator saying the exact same things. And insurance ads tend to try to be "silly", which makes them look odd. And politcal ads, just no. I only like clever ads, such as: Apple '1984', the Nike Mag ad, and some that break the 4th wall/fakeouts.

Andy Warhol was in an episode of 'The Love Boat'.

I have to start taking pills for my stomach.

I watched 'The Colbert Report' just to see John Green. Stephen Colbert asked John Green if he is a cult leader. I couldn't take a good photo. I've also been watching 'The World Wars: Extended'. It is VERY good. They are currently reenacting Winston Churchill's 'We Shall Fight on the Beaches' speech. For some reason, the line "we shall never surrender" sounded like it came from the 1999 'Animal Farm' movie. We watched that movie in the last weeks of Freshmen English. I personally like '1984' better. The 'We Shall Fight on the Beaches' scene contains the same music as a "Booking.com" commercial. I hate their ads.

Gamer = Play only 'Call of Duty' for several hours. Cinephile = Watch only 'The Godfather' 100 times. Doesn't make since. I believe to be a gamer, you need to play/enjoy video games in general, like how a cinephile likes films in general. No perticular genre, just films/games.

Fidel Castro's Old Limos are being converted into taxis in Havana.

In an underground bunker in New Mexico, the writings of L. Ron Hubbard are stored on stainless steel tablets & encased in titanium capsules.

In 1959, the USPS delivered 3,000 pieces of mail from Virginia to Florida in 22 minutes via a cruise missile.

On '20/20', their doing a report about mass murderer Elliot Rodger. He was very delusional about himself and the world. He hated women because he couldn't get a girlfriend. He believed he was the hottest man on Earth. Because he couldn't get a girlfriend, he had a "if I can't have it, no one can" mentality. He killed any "beautiful people and couples". He killed 7 people, wounded 13, and killed himself. He is one of the ugliest people in the last year. I know he was mentally ill, but I don't care. He was ugly to me. ————————————————————————————————————————————— 	Saturday		June 28, 2014		Started 12:00 AM YAY! I finally got it on midnight.

I did really good on 'Jeopardy!'. I got questions right about: Crazy Horse, the Marx Brothers, the Stanford Prison Experiment, the first science fiction film 'Metropolis', William Shakespeare's Bed, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Circular Chairs. I somewhat cheated on Final Jeopardy. It was about British writers, and I paraphrasing, "a medical journal praised this writer's knowledge of poison in her first novel in 1920". I was thinking: British Writer, 1920s, Murder. All I can think of was Agatha Christie. I googled it while the show was going on. I was right.

12:11 AM	I'm watching the 'Warehouse 13' episode 'Secret Service' with the commentary (I love commentaries on DVDs) and they were talking about Frances Farmer's Music Box* and that for the signiture on the music box, they chose her signiture when she was losing her mind. I love those little touches.

Frances Farmer was an actress who lost her mind. Her music box causes telepathic outbursts when the user is angry.

So how do you feel. Of course, I'm asking you this knowing I'll never hear your answer. But, I wanted to break the 4th wall. Also, ignore all the grammatical mistakes.

I had an idea. Get 100 tiles (each 1 square foot, and blank white), send some to celebrities, friends, and strangers. Ask them to write on, paint on, put a sticker/decal/photo on them. After I recieve the tiles, I'd tile a room with the tiles and places sheets of plexiglass over the tiles.

I once read on a Marvel Wiki that one of Deadpool's powers is the ability to break the 4th Wall.

For readers who don't know what I mean. 4th Wall - Noun. The "wall" between a story and the audience. Origin - Theater. In theater, there are 4 walls: The back, left and right, and the wall between the audience and the story. Breaking the 4th Wall - Verb. When the characters in a story either acknowledge they are fictional/acknowledge the audience. I love breaking the 4th wall.

A guy's car (I don't know who, when, or where) was hit by a tornado. He found it, turned it on, and drove it around. His car is missing everything but the essentials (engine, wheels. steering wheel, chassis, etc.) I found the original article:

"Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. 	By Jeffrey N. Ross 		Jun 7th 2013 1:00PM" I slightly editied the original article. I had a weird dream last night: I was at my grandparent's house in Tellico (I think). My friend Stommel was asleep on the couch. So I left to kill time. I found myself in the garage in Maryville (I'm writting this from my room in Maryville, and I can see the garage). In the garage, a room, that in real life has random stuff, had toys from the 80s-90s. I left the garage and went back to the house. Someone told me Stommel left. This is not the weirdest dream I've ever had. I remeber waking up from some dreams, asking how/why did I have those dreams, but I can't remember what they were, but just emotions. I do remember my first nightmare. I had it on Halloween night when I was young. It was just a bunch of monsters, mostly Lovecraftian monsters. The images don't phase me know, but they did when I was young.

1:31 AM	I have an idea: 3D Superflat. Superflat is a Japanese art style in which several small characters are drawn together, sometimes in a mosaic style. My idea is to make a table with 100 different objects. Some of the 100 objects are from me, some from friends/family, some donated by strangers. The table would be a perfect square (5ftx5ft?), with all of the objects placed in no particular manner. Every object, of varing sizes, shapes, and stories. An empty Coke bottle I found in a parking lot next to a piece of the Berlin Wall. Just being able to see all of these objects together, much like a museum piece. It would be interesting to have maybe some iPods playing videos on loop to add to the look.

I'm thinking of going to bed in a few minutes. If so, good night.

The theme song of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' was actually written in 1893, by John Philip Sousa, as a march for the Liberty Bell. The name of the song is 'The Liberty Bell'. Monty Python chose the song for 2 reasons. 1. The song begins with a serious tone which makes the listener pay attention. It then goes to a very whimsical tune, which perfectly represents the show. 2. It was in the Public Domain.

The rare parrot that may have inspired the movie 'Rio' died today in Brazil as one of the last of its species.

9:51 PM	About 30 minutes ago, I got done doing a Jackson Pollock inspired painting. I started by painting over a 40inx60in canvas I did a long time ago. I did painted a large blotch of maroon normally. I accidently got a bit of yellow on it. I decided to lay it on the ground, I was outside, and I used around 10 tubes of paint. I painted the canvas, grass, my shoes, shirt, and headphones. It's drying in my granddad's garage. I just took a bath and now I'm tired.

5:24 PM	This day is going really easy. I had some pasta salad leftover from yesterday. My mom has been asleep all day, due to a headache. I've just been typing today, mostly that list above of the Google Doodles. Yesterday, my cousin saw the new painting. She asked if I would do a similar painting when she gets a new house. This may be my first painting I get paid for. I'm going to have some BBQ fries. Also, I'm watching 'Qi' on my phone. It's about Fakes and Frauds. I heard the only reason that don't show 'Qi' in America is because they can't get the copyright for some photos used. It's quite cold in our house today. We're in Tellico this week.

Guy de Maupassant hated the Eiffel Tower so much, that he insisted on often eating at the restaurant located in the tower's base, this being one of the few places he could avoid seeing the tower itself. I watched his story, 'The Necklace', in English class.

7:34 PM	I decieded to sit outside. I'm currently sitting on a white towel in front of my house. I got a little wooden table to sit my iPad on. It's really nice oustide today.

I was talking to my mom about donating a painting to the MoMA. I don't know if they accept art by completey unknown artists, like myself, but I'll have to see.

7:41 AM	Sitting outiside on our lawn, I've noticed some paint on the ground from a few nights ago. I posted a photo on Instagram of the grass with paint on it. The sun is starting to go down. I saw the newest Art Assignments a few nights ago. It was about a guy that makes large rugs out of used shirts/rags, and puts them in art museums. People just sit on the rugs and do stuff. Chat, eat, browse the Internet, read, write, etc. I would love to go to one of his rugs and just type, as I'm doing now.

It fells a bit weird sitting outside. I should do this more often.

I've noticed the best films don't have sequals. Movies, such as '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'Citizen Kane', and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' don't have sequals. While there are great movies with sequals ('Star Wars' and 'Back to the Future'), it's better to end a movie. Leave an ending that makes the audience ask questions. Going back to '2001: A Space Odyssey', there are questions at the end of the movie that, nearly 50 years later, people are still asking.

At the Pokémon Nationals, someone noticed a sign about getting an Event Mamoswine, except the sign says Metagross.

The British Royal Family doesn't bother me, since they are mostly just PR (public relations) these days. I mean the real monarchies, where the head monarch has real power. I'm a democrat. Not the American political party (I hate political parties). I mean one who uses democracy. The leaders should be chosen by the people.

I have to go to the dentist. Teeth Cleaning and have 4 teeth removed. I have to get up at 10:30 AM.

10:18 AM		I've been up since 9:13 AM.

10:29 AM		I've hit 400 karma on reddit.

11:26 AM		I'm in my grandad's truck, on the way to the dentist. My appointment isn't until 1:30. I brought my iPad, phone, and 2DS to keep me occupied. We'll be going to McDonalds.

2:03 PM		I just got done at the dentist. It took around 30 minutes for them to clean my teeth and remove 4 teeth. I mostly feel numb in my lower mouth and tongue. When they give me gas, I feel like I'm being stretched and every sensation is made worse. I also feel "loopy" after being given the gas.

2:57 PM	We were driving over railroad tracks, and nearly got hit by a train.

4:15 PM	My numbness is rapidly going down. For a while, I tasted that "burnt meat" taste of dry blood. Now, only my lower lip is numb.

Buzzfeed had an interesting video recently of Barbecue from around the world. The only ones I would eat regulary were the Japanese and Tennessean.

Japanese: Squid, Rice, Takoyaki, Yakitori, Cabbage Leafs, Crab Salad, and Soy Sauce Tennessean: Pork Ribs, Spaghetti, Baked Beans, and Macaroni and Cheese

Japanese Barbecue is served as such: A grilled squid and yakitori served on one plate. The takoyaki, cabbage leafs, crab salad, and soy sauce are served in individual dishes.

Tennessean Barbecue is served as such: The pork ribs and spaghetti served on one plate. The baked beans and macaroni and cheese served in individual dishes.

Takoyaki - A fried ball of dough typically filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger, and green onion. Served with a sauce, similar to Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise, and topped with sliced seaweed and dried bonito (dried tuna). Yakatori - Grilled cheap meat on skewers.

I'm from Tennessee, so I'm more familiar with Tennessean barbecue.

I love Stanley Kubrick. I have only seen two of his films, '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'The Shining'. I liked 2001 better. I know three stories about him.

1. He would often have actors redo scenes many times over.

2. He collected one of the largest private collections of information on Napoleon Bonaparte, for an unmade biopic on Napoleon.

3. He love quill pens and ink. When one of his favorite brands of ink was getting discontinued, he purchased every vial he could find.

On 'Monumental Mysteries', they are talking about the Statue of Lenin in Seattle. Backstory: Statue of Vladimir Lenin in a Czech town. Statue is removed and thrown into a dump. Lewis E. Carpenter, an American Historian comes and finds it. He buys it and ships it to Seattle.

And now there is a statue of Nikola Tesla on 'Monumental Mysteries'. They just used dubstep during the segment.

I have mixed opinons of Lenin. I think his heart was in the right place, wanting to power his people, it's just that he was friends with that evil Stalin.

I saw a video from WatchMojo of 10 Fan Theroys of Fim. These were my favorites:

1.	Stan Lee is Uatu the Watcher in all the Marvel Movies. 2.	"James Bond" is a codename. 3.	The briefcase in 'Pulp Fiction' contains Marsellus Wallace's Soul 4.	In 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', Indiana Jones loses his mind.

1.		In most of the Marvel Movies, Stan Lee makes a cameo. Some fans believe he is portraying Uatu the Watcher, a lesser known character in Marvel. The reasoning is that since Stan Lee and Uatu look similar. And, part of Uatu's name is "the Watcher", which makes sense because Stan Lee never really interacts in the story.

2.	The name of 007, James Bond, is actually a codename for the spy. Much like "Mr. President" or "Pope", anyone can use the name as a title.

3.	In 'Pulp Fiction', Marsellus Wallace has a Band-Aid covering the back of his neck. According to many stories, Satan takes souls through the back of the head. Also, the combination of the briefcase is "666".

4.	During the iconic scene in 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', Indiana Jones escapes a nuclear bomb by hiding in a lead-lined fridge. Indy would have gotten radiation poisoning from the bomb. Some believe that the entire movie is just a hallucination/dream of Indiana Jones, who is still in the fridge.

If movies are works of art, why don't we have to pay to see paintings online?

I made the question a joke. What I mean is that if you want to see a painting (a work of art) online, you just go to Google, type in the name, and there it is, free and all there. When it comes to movies, which are also works of art, you have to pay or have to register for an account for a site which asks for your credit card (which I don't have) on a streaming site. Why is that? The movie already made money when first released. The worst part is that the way copyright used to work is that artists would get around 20 years for their works and then it's in the public domain. Companies like Disney have used their power to push copyright to reach centuries. For a film, like 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', which both came out 20 years ago/or more, Tarentino and the Pythons have already made enough money from it at box offices. Or, take books for example. Since almost every classic book was written by currently dead people, they should make them free since the only people who will make money are maybe the family of the writer (which doesn't make sense since they didn't write the book) and the publisher.

I posted that on reddit. I'm waiting for responses.

I think any movie, made atleast 20 years ago or more, should be free to watch online on a site like YouTube.

In 1895, Alfred Clark created what is commonly accepted as the first-ever motion picture special effect. While filming a reenactment of the beheading of Mary, Queen of Scots, Clark instructed an actor to step up to the block in Mary's costume. As the executioner brought the axe above his head, Clarke stopped the camera, had all of the actors freeze, and had the person playing Mary step off the set. He placed a Mary dummy in the actor's place, restarted filming, and allowed the executioner to bring the axe down, severing the dummy's head.

Today was my first full day of school. To summarize it, I'll go class-to-class. 1st - English Lab The teacher, Mr. Hollinghead, seems really funny. He has just enough energy to keep the class going, but no too much to be distracting. 2nd - Journalism I already had Mrs. Childress. I was one of 3 guys in the group out of around 10 people. We were having a brainstorm over what the theme of the yearbook should be. I suggested "the Internet". Everyone liked it. The cover will be a parody of the Google Homepage. The various sections will be parodies of websites. I have to design a rough draft of the cover and write the introduction. 3rd - Wellness This class seems to just be P.E. I like Mr. Hunt. 4th - Biology I've already had Mr. Carroll. We got our textbooks. 5th - Algebra II I like Mr. Parks. I'm the only Sophomore in the class. It's mostly Juniors.

English Lab, Biology, and Algebra are block classes, meaning they are two periods in one. I have lunch, with Jacob, Tori, and Stommel. Stommel got a job at Hardees.

2 Ideas:

1. Recipe Kiosk: At supermarkets, there would be a kiosk with a computer that has a database of every item sold there and various recipes. A person would go to it, select what they feel like having (Mexican, Vegetarian, Low Cost, Regional), the amount of people being served, and any allergies. The computer would display a list of recipes that fill those choices. The user would then select a dish, and it would print a checklist of the ingredients and the recipe.

2. Charity Search: A website that acts like a dating website. The user would fill out questions about who they want to help. The website would then search a database of charities and give a list of them to the user, with information.

4:45 PM	It stormed really bad here. Around 3:10, I got a message from the National Weather Service about a tornado warning. I then went to the basement of my grandparent's house, since I just got back from school. I layed on the couch. Around 20 minutes later, I had to go into the storage space in the basement. I sat on the floor for around 10 minutes. I felt like Billy Pilgram in the slaughterhouse. After 10 minutes, the storm passed. There is the occasional thunder in the distance. There is no electricity here. I'm currently sitting at the kitchen table, watching videos I've downloaded.

The Cancer Effect:

It seems to me that anytime a charity event happens to raise awareness of a disease, the disease is always cancer. That bothers me.

'The Treachery of Images'

Artist		René Magritte Year			1928–29 Type			Oil on canvas Dimensions	63.5 cm × 93.98 cm (25 in × 37 in) Location		Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California[1]

'The Treachery of Images' (French: La trahison des images, 1928–29, sometimes translated as 'The Treason of Images') is a painting by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, painted when Magritte was 30 years old. The picture shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe.", French for "This is not a pipe.".

"The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture "This is a pipe", I'd have been lying!"

His statement is taken to mean that the painting itself is not a pipe. The painting is merely an image of a pipe. Hence, the description, "this is not a pipe." The theme of pipes with the text "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is extended in his 1966 painting, Les Deux Mystères. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, on loan from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The painting is sometimes given as an example of meta message conveyed by paralanguage. Compare with Alfred Korzybski's "The word is not the thing" and "The map is not the territory″.

2:13 PM	My mom had me leave all of a sudden. I got to stop by Hastings to get 'On the Road'. I didn't get 'The Stranger' because I was short on time. I did get a collection of short stories by H.P.

ISIS has sent Vladimir Putin a messaging saying they are coming for Russia.

I like the short story 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe.

I thought of why I prefer short stories and poetry over novels. Jorge Luis Borges wrote in an introduction to a collection of his short stories, and I'm paraphrasing, "Writers write and readers read a thousand page book and are left with a few images. Why not write those." That is my philosphy. I suppose I could have strechted that short story 'Lost...My Mind' longer, but I didn't. I kept it short.

I had an idea for a series of posters. Each would be a gallery of characters (10 or more) from either famous directors, writers, actors, and genre. Each would be a pixaleted.

Today, I wore a paper bag hat from lunch to my next class. Alot of people noticed. It's a tradition of Jacob and I.

I wonder why people think people can't be educated by movies. Reading books is a symbol of intelligence, while watching movies and playing video games are symbols of laziness. Maybe it's because books have been around for centuries, while movies have only been around for 100 years and video games have been around since the 1970s. It may also be that watching a movie is seen as a more passive experience. A person just sits in a theater and watchs the film. But, the same is done in a theater. With that, I believe it may be that when it comes to movies and video games, there is alot of mindless action movies and mindless shooters. What if books had the same thing? Mindless Action Books. —————————————————————————————————————————————	Thursday		September 4, 2014	Started 6:20 AM

'Lost...My Mind'

There I was, in the mountains, which is actually quite implausible, since I'm a city person. I was going with a friend, to verify the existence of a thing. We didn't know what it was, but we knew it was indolent. We were going to a tree, when suddenly my friend was shot in the leg, slighty above the knee, for some arbitray reason, by an arrow. The thing about this arrow was that it was intangible. Don't ask how it was shot, it just was. I looked in the first aid kit, but only found Cheez-Its. This was devastating to us. A friend shot in the leg and no medicine. I began to smell something. A group of ninjas who protected the thing. The ninjas smell faintly, of ketchup. The thing pays them in hamburgers, but with no other condiments aside from ketchup. To find other toppings, the ninjas kill those who visit the mountain. The Mountain of Kevin. They tired of all ketchup, to the point where they tried to find alternative uses. One found was a shampoo. You may be asking why they don't just get another job. The Mountain of Kevin is large and very isolated. There are few jobs in the area, so being payed with burgers is not that bad, especially if you like burgers, like Jules Winnfield. I began to formulate a plan. Send the goldfish? No, he has auto scrutiny disease. This disease cripples my friend. He has to critize everything he sees. If I did use him, he would just yell, in small belches, about the bland burgers. "Mr. Gray, it's time to take your medicine." My nurse was there, with my medicine. My friend, Mr. Montag, was asleep in the other room. He had some surgery for his leg injury. He was shot in the leg by a German in some old war. I dozed back to sleep, in my room. Room 101, Adams Retirement Home. I beagn to doze back into the story. I still had no idea of how to solve the problem. I could offer some of the Cheez-Its. So, I took the first-aid kit and poured the Cheez-its out. They didn't stop coming. One after the other, the pile just begain to grow. I dropped the kit and stepped back. One of the ninjas came over and took a look at the pile. He picked one of them up and smelled it. He then somehow ate it without removing his hood. Finally, something other than hamburgers to eat. The cracker managed to oppesse the ninja. He somehow talked to the other ninjas, and allowed us to pass. I began to ask the ninjas if they had anything I could use. One came over with a small purple rock. He tapped the rock on my friend's leg. The arrow vanished and the injury disappeared. That rock came from the mountain. Every ninja has a piece on a ring. It somehow heals the ninjas from their injuries. It has a dark purple hue and appears to have a small haze around it. The rock doesn't have a name, so I guess you can make one. The ninjas placed the rock in my friend's hands, snagged the first-aid kit with the infinite amout of Cheez-Its, and vanished into the darkness. We continued in the mountain. We were just at the base, and had a long time to go. Me. My Friend. The Goldfish. The next hazard was just as weird as the last. We happened upon a wall. This wall was a bit like the Monoliths from '2001: A Space Odyssey'. It stood in the middle of the path. "belch belch belch, belch belch, belch". We walked upto the wall. It did nothing. We could continue. I was begining to wonder why this was happening. I remember watching a movie earlier. It may have been that. I saw............. "You shall not pass." "I'm sorry, what?" "You may not cross this bridge." "I don't even know how I got here or who you are." "I'm the Black Knight." "From Monty Python?" "What?" "Nevermind. Can you tell me where I am?" "You're at my bridge." "How did I get here?" "I don't know. Go Away." "Why?" "I said so." "Come Patsy." A knight dressed in chainmail and a white shirt with a picture of the sun came forward. He was wearing a crown and carried a large sword. A smaller man was with him, in much simplier clothes, carrying a large bag and banging two coconuts together. "Hello," said the knight in white, "I am King Arthur. And this is Patsy. Who are you two?" "I am Graham, this is my friend Frank, and our goldfish, Aramnot." "My name is Graham too." "Will you help us." "No. But you can help us." "Ok." "Alright. Would you like to join my Knights of the Round Table." "Sure." "Then I dub the Sir, what is your names?" "I am Graham Gray, this is Frank Montag, and Aramnot the Goldfish." "Then I dub the Sir Gray, Sir Montag, and Sir the Goldfish." King Arthur knighted me, Frank and Aramnot. He then walked up to the Black Knight. An epic battle ensued, but it was over really quickly. The Black Knight was defeated. Another bridge passed. A fancy door was in the path. It was a set of wooden doors, painted green with gold detail. Patsy was sent to knock on the door. Nothing happened. 'belch belch belch, belch belch, belch". Patsy then turned the knob and slowly opened the door. Nothing happened. He then walked through the door, after King Arthur told him to. He walked thorugh the door, disappeared for a few seconds, then he fell from a tree.	I ran over to Patsy, and gave him the rock from the ninjas. He got up and walked over to King Arthur. We continued to walk down the path.	We heard a rustling from the grass. A wild Pikachu appeared. Aramnot told me to place him near the Pokémon.	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch." 	"pika pika. pika pika, pika." 	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch."	"pika pika. pika pika, pika." 	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch."	"pika pika. pika pika, pika." 	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch."	 "pika pika. pika pika, pika." 	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch."	 "pika pika. pika pika, pika." 	"belch belch belch, belch belch, belch."	The Pikachu ran over to me, placed some red and white ball at my feet, and then ran away.	We continued. Me. Frank Montag. Aramnot the Goldfish. King Arthur. Patsy.	We walked for a while up the mountain. The path goes up the mountain, like a spiral. We started at the base. The thing was supposed to be here. We had a few miles left.	After a small trek, we discovered a small tavern. We went in to discover an unusual sight. We saw some of the most famous characters from literature. Guy Montag and Winston Smith were in a booth having a discussion on the censorship of all media in North Korea. Rodion Raskolnikov, Dorian Gray, Henry Jekyll, and Billy Pilgram were over at the bar having a chat. Atticus Finch was giving some advice to Holden Caulfield and Nick Carraway. Esther Greenwood and Arthur Dent were having a date over in the corner. We made our way through the tavern and met a few people. Guy Montag gave me a copy of 'On the Road'. Billy Pilgram told me of the Tralfadorians. Arthur Dent gave me a towel. After walking taking a rest at the tavern, we made our way to a phone booth. Patsy hit the booth with a stick. Now a monster. Some type of turtle began to block the path. Patsy hit it with a stick. The turtle rose and killed Patsy. So it goes. King Arthur ran towards the creature. It rose. King Arthur stabbed it in the head with his sword. The monster bleed out and died. Patsy and some other people appeared. The people ran away. Patsy was alive. Knock. Knock. I woke back up. Some kid came in a gave me a hung and sang a Christmas carol. I said Merry Christmas and went back to sleep. After some time, we made it to the summit of the mountain. There was nothing but a piece of paper. "The thing is near". We then saw something laying over in a tree. We went over to the thing laying in the tree. I went up to the thing and tried to talk to it. "Hello?" "What." "Are you the thing of the Mountain of Kevin." "Yes." "Can we take your photo?" "Sure." The thing crawled out of the tree and posed with me, Frank, Aramnot, King Arthur, and Patsy. "Can I have some money?" "Why?" "I'm broke." "How do you pay the ninjas?" "I own that burger joint over there." The thing pointed to a burger joint at the bottom of the mountain. I gave him a $20 and. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. A thick haze came over me. It slowly went away. I was in my bed. The TV was still on. I then went to the kitchen and made breakfast. Time to get ready for another day of school. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Yet again, a haze appeared while I was making some oatmeal. It slowly went away. I was back about 20 years, before I existed. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. It happened again. I went forward 100 years. BEEP. BEEP. BEPP. Again. BEEP. BEEP. BEPP. And Again. "Writer!" "Yes?" "Would you stop that." "No." "Why?" "Deal With It." "No." "-"	"You just lost your speaking ability. Time for Frank to give his story." --- --- - -- -. - --- --- --- - -.  - - - - - --- -- .	"I forgot he can't speak either. Well, this is awkward.

One of my grandma's 3 dogs, Molly, died.

My friend Paul, the one I mentioned earlier hasn't be at school recently. I found out he moved.

Today, we were taking a biology test, and my teacher, Mr. Carroll, left a radio, really his computer tuned to a country radio station, on so we could listen to something while we worked. There was an ad about investing in drones and another about a teddy bear with an internet connection which would answer children's questions. Oy vey. I felt like I was in a Bradbury or Orwell novel.

5:08 PM	We're going to Maryville. We're nearly there.

I'm an only child. I don't think that's important, it's just that you may be wondering.

In 1987, Adrian Hilton acquired a Guinness World Record for reciting 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' non-stop, enduring 5 days without sleep. I've noticed that is one of the most published books of all time. The reasons:

1. The Works William Shakespeare are the most famous plays in history. 2. The Works are in the Public Domain. 3. A copy of the Complete Works will easily sell.

I haven't done a painting in a while. I'm not allowed to buy anything for a while, so I may have to wait to make a new one.

I saw a video about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The Archduke, who was next in line to the throne, was visiting Sarajevo with his wife Sophie. This trip was for multiple reasons. It was their anniversary, and they were doing it for P.R. Ferdinand and his wife were going to have a parade, and the route was published in various newspapers. Young Serbia, a Serbian Nationalist group, plotted to assassinate the Archduke after they discovered he was going to visit. On June 28, which was the anniversary of an important Serbian victory in battle, members of Young Serbia were at every stop of the parade. All of them failed. One of them threw a grenade into the car, but the Archduke saw it and ducked. The bomb passed over their heads and flew into th crowed. It exploded, and injured many people. The bomber jumped over a bridge. There was only 4 inches of water in it. After injuring his legs, he took a cyanide pill. The pill was really cheap and out of date. He vomitied in the riverbed and then the police caught him. Gavrilo Princip began to realise the plan had failed. He left the scene, and went to a deli to have some food. The Archduke went to the mayor of Sarajevo, and made a plan. Franz and Sophie were going to go to the hospitial where many of those injured in the bombing were being cared for. Franz was going with no real protection. They were going to drive in the same car they were in from the parade. Theire driver had no knowledge of the streets, and stopped to ask for directions. They were parked next to the deli Princip was at. Princip noticed the Archduke. He got up from his table and shot 2 bullets at the Archduke and Sophie. They died moments after.

I once dressed as Phineas Gage for a school project.

10:49 AM		I'm on the road, on my way to Red Lobster.

Someone on reddit posted 2 photos on 9/11. This redditor was one of the last people to visit the top of the World Trade Center. They visited on September 10, 2001. They posted a photo of their ticket to the top and of them and thier family at the top of the tower.

12:34 PM		I just got done eating at Red Lobster. I had some cocoanut shrimp, crab legs, and rice.
