Eduardo and the Room of Doom - Chapter 2
Well, here's chapter 2! if you haven't read Chapter 1, scroll down a bit. It's there.
Mrs. Gaboury - I know I have about 3 blogs waaaaay overdue! I'm sorry! I'll have them finished by the end of this week! I promise I promise I promise I promise!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter Two – MachoChibi Floofypants II
Eduardo stood at the door of his parent’s house, shifting nervously from foot to foot. 何をしますか？何を言いますか？ he thought. He liked to try out different languages from time to time, so that he didn’t get too rusty. Even the perfect must practice. Reverting back to English, he wondered, What will I do? What will I say?
He moved his pack from his right shoulder to his left and kicked a pebble lying several miles away. He nervously glanced up at his mother. She smiled and gave him a hug. His father handed him some of his best homemade cheese bread and said, “Good luck, son. I’m sure that you’ll find some way to get the things you want. Whatever they were again…”
Eduardo grinned and waved to his parents. Maybe this will be okay after all, he thought. After all, I can just send them a letter whenever I want to. I can do anything.
Sauntering down the lane, Eduardo blew a kiss to Melinda and air-fived Felipe. Suddenly realizing that he didn’t have to walk, he bounded over the great green mountains surrounding their little valley and vanished into the distance. At the same instant, a bouquet of brightly-colored and fake-looking flowers appeared in Melinda’s hand. “What a lovely boy,” she said. “He turned out wonderfully.”
“I still think we should have named him Pancho,” sighed his father.
Skipping down the lane, Eduardo came upon a sudden forest.
Was it the same lane that he was sauntering down earlier?
No, no, you silly twit. He bounded away over the mountains, remember? This is an entirely different lane in an entirely different place. Now back to our hero.
Skipping down the lane, Eduardo came upon a sudden forest. Surprised, he skipped right into a tree. (Hardy har har – physical comedy. Told you this was an absurd story, didn’t I? ) Seeing as he had nothing else to do and seeing as the narrator says he did, Eduardo walked into the forest. It was certainly a very odd forest. There were lots of very odd noises and shadows that were there but really, really shouldn’t be.
As Eduardo could do anything, this made him very brave and rather conceited, so he kept on going into the very odd and sudden forest. He kept on going and going and going for so long that if I were to describe it all, why, I wouldn’t receive a grade at all because poor Mrs. Gaboury would have fallen asleep and dropped this comedic adventure epic on her face. But eventually (thank goodness for the poor bored narrator), something that was not boring happened to Eduardo. It was actually quite a downright interesting thing.
Eduardo was walking along, same as before, when a chinchilla dropped out of the nearest elm tree and onto his forehead. “HEY, BUDDY!” it squeaked, “GOT ANY SEVENS?”
Sevens? What in the world?
Shut up. Please, shut up. It’s my story, so let me tell it.
“Eh, sevens of what?” Eduardo replied.
“Cards, you idiot! I'm playing Go Fish. Got any sevens?”
“Um, no, unfortunately. But may I ask you who you are?”
“My name is MachoChibi Floofypants II, I’m a chinchilla, and my hair is better than yours!”
It was then that Eduardo noticed that the chinchilla had a pink mohawk.
------------------------
ooooooh...a cliffhanger :)
Anyway, the thing about Mrs. Gaboury grading me on this is in there because I wrote this story for my Territory #2 paper. If you were wondering.
Also, if some random boxes happen to appear on your screen at the beginning of the chapter instead of words, that's because I typed in Japanese there. Just letting you know, in case Blogger or your computer can't read Japanese characters.

P.S. Please take a look at Bo's blog, RANDOM JUNK, to read the round-robin story that he and I are currently writing! It's funny! I love it! But it's full of private jokes that other people might not get....oh well. It was fun to write. High-five, Bo!

Reading #2
Hey! Its me again! A couple of weeks ago I finished a very good book. This book is called Tuesdays with Morrie. It is an inspiring nonfiction story about a professor (Morrie), his student (Mitch), and the heartwarming conversations they share. In this story Morrie is slowly dying from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and with the last few moments he has left, he wants to teach the world about life...from experience. He shares these moments every Tuesday with his former student Mitch and they talk about subjects such as Death, Aging, Money, Marriage, Culture, and Love. This was a very inspiring story, and even though it was 200 pages, it was one of the best books I have ever read. By reading this book you will question your values and realize how precious life is.
Happy Reading

2008 Election
Well, I must say. I am in a real confuddlement on the 2008 election. I've never really been this involved. I mean, four years ago, I couldn't tell you most of the beliefs of Kerry or Bush. I have made some efforts to enlighten myself this time around, though. I'll be eightteen next election, so the time for my opinion to mean something is close, and I plan on being ready. But this post is about the 2008 election.
For this election, I have followed some of the leading candidates including Obama, Clinton, Guliani, Thompson, Huckabee, Romney, and partially Edwards. Until recently, I have been 99% behind Obama, for several reasons. For one, I agree with him on many issues, including some of the ones I care about especially (Energy, the Environment, Immigration, the Economy, Stem Cell Research). I also believe that the election of a black president will make a statement about America to the rest of the world, proclaiming its status as a leader in the absence of racial hate and the presence of equality in civil rights. Then again, I suppose that Hilary's election would be a different means to a similar end.
I disagree on some issues with Obama, though. For example, he seems to want to focus on early education (elementary school), where I believe the problems are later on and should be addressed then. Also, his lack of experience is one of his weaknesses. This did not affect my opinion much, though. The real heart breaker has been that I recently found out that not only did he inhale drugs in high school (I knew that for some time), but that he currently smokes cigarettes. I mean, we are thinking of electing someone to lead our country; Don't you think that person should be somewhat of a role model to the children, teens, and people of the States? What kind of role model is someone who has done illegal drugs and currently smokes cigarettes. I know it is hard to stop, but the issue remains at hand. Now, I am not so sure I like Obama all that much anymore, because I can think of other candidates, the like of which I agree with less issues on, but they have more experience and set a better example. Just my little speech on Barack.
In other news, the Iowa Caucus is going on right now. For those who don't know what that is, it is the voting of people in Iowa on who they want for president, but it isn't their official votes. It helps figure out the feelings of a state before the voite, and the state becomes more informed on candidates. My personal prediction is the Obama will be the head of the democratic side and Romney will head the republican side. Some think that Edwards could win the democratic, and alot think that Huckabee will be the republican favorite. What do you think? UPDATE! UPDATE! Obama won the dem and Huckabee won the rep. Find an article on whatever news site and read more.
Now, on to some other stuff. On Hilary Clinton... I believe that her views are a little too left wing/democratic/liberal. There is a fine line between American liberalism and socialism. She is playing on several things, not the least of which are the idea of a woman president and the strong desire of many an American to get out of Iraq. I think she is an extremist, as I mentioned before, and personally, I would not vote for her were I given the chance.
The republican candidates do not appeal to me for the most part. However, I do think that Mitt Romney would make a pretty good president. Unfortunately, I know that many will not vote for him because of his religious denomination (He's a Mormon).
Anyway, that pretty much concludes my post. I'm wondering what other people are thinking on the topic of the 2008 election. Who do you support and why? Who do you not like? What do you think about some of the things I've said?
Well, Happy New Year, everyone.
