Hmm..

!

Hello readers!!!

I must say that I regret for not posting for a while.  Well, if you're looking for an explanation, then:  My google account ran out of storage space:.  That basically means I can't upload any pictures.  HOWEVER, I was advised to make a new account JUST to upload pictures and then I could C/P them here.  :-)

Let's see what I've done for these past few months...

Life Scout and SPL
 Ah yes,  I've just scheduled a Board of Review (a test) for Life Scout!! (Next up, Eagle)  It's the one with the heart.
 
 ALSO I was elected Senior Patrol Leader for my troop!!
(Like president except a lot more.)
Job description:
Run and plan:
Meetings, events, campouts, and new scout divisions.

 Bear in mind that there are meetings every week and events and campouts each month.  NTL, I enjoy doing so and I am happy to be elected.  Well, I was going to be the only candidate but for the heck of bureaucracy, they threw in another candidate.
 
Went to San Fransisco to visit cousins. For christmas
 It was awesome!! We spent most of the day playing VIP assasination with nerf guns.  There was a VIP and a bunch of assasins and civilians and stuffs.
 Our aunt bought us Jolts!  They're these single shot compact pistols.  Really good too.

Saw Les Mis
Yep..


Yellow Belt
Made it to yellow belt!! the third rank.  Learning sidekicks now! :D

Finally masted kipups.



That's all for now.  I'm planning to post more often.  :-)

The Spanish Shawl Nudibranch

A strange animal.
Think of your favorite aquarium.  Now imagine an aquarium twice as awesome.  That's the one at Emerald Bay.  Emerald Bay is the summer camp I went to.  The staff are really nice.  They spend hours talking and teaching scouts.  I asked one guy "What was the most interesting animal you caught?  Instead of answering, he led me to a tank.  There were these weird purple slug thingies.  They move like flying carpets.   The aquarium has a round glass petting tank, with 8 stingrays and shovelnoses,  and about 15 sharks.  There's an octopus and a stonefish.  Some lionfish too.  Moray eels, and Lobsters.  Another post later. :)

                          

Traps

You see, our church has these little things called small groups, and our family decided to host one.  If you're a boy,  you know how I feel about my room.  And,  I've had trouble with renegade 6 YOs breaking into my room and stomping on all my legos. :(.

Anyways, this week,  three new little kids came.  About 7 YO.  Anyways, I set up some traps for fun,  but I only used one.  Unfortunatly,  As you can see,  I wanted the trap to be safe, so I covered the cardboard and lego brick in white sheets. (To help blend in with the roof)  However, I built the trap during the day, and it didn't occur to me that my room would be dark, therefore white sheets woud actually STAND OUT, rather than camoflaging.  So, this kid spotted it,  and he opened the door.  Slowly.  Because of that, thecardboard got stuck on the door, and only the monkey fell.  HOWEVER, I only used the first one,  so I will try the second next time. :D


If you have ANY ideas, please let me know.  No matter how crazy they are. :D

Random: Fun-fails

Playing is fun.  No one can change that.  However, when I try to execute a many-stepped prank, it never works.  Yea.  From smashing into open cabinets, kicking granite door stoppers, or hitting lightbulbs with improvised missles, I've seen it all.

Gun GIFs. :-)

Notice the shell ejection.:-)

 

BTW at gifbin.com  you can watch any GIF in reverse!! Really funny.

Reloading win!!!!

The Medical Staff

If one takes a careful look at a first aid kit, ambulance, or any medical equipment, they'll see a snake wrapped around a staff.  Why is this? Well, let's go back to the Bible.  There's a lot of different theories, but the Bible is the only original written version.  The Israelites sinned, and so God sent snakes among them.  Then, God told Moses to hold up a snake on a pole, so that whoever looked at the pole would survive.  Pretty awesome eh?

See Numbers 21:9 (this link is to the whole Numbers 21.(NIV)

9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
