Do you like to swim? If so, than you need to go to Stotan Falls. About a year ago I brought my friend Reid to Stotan Falls. It was awesome because of the waterfall that you can jump off of. It also has a little waterfall and you can jump off too. The water remains cold all year round, even in the summer. So if you go there, you will want to wear a wet suit.  Do not worry about jumping off the water fall because it is very deep and you will not hit the bottom.  The problem is that when you are walking back to your car, it is a reasonably long walk that has lots of holes and some you can’t see. So you will be walking back, minding your own business than BAM, your chest deep in cold, fast flowing water, and your even more soaked when you get back to your car.

Hello and welcome to the first of what I hope to be many posts on Minecraft!

Today I will be talking about how to survive your first night! I would normally put it on peaceful for your first night but if you are doing a video or you want a challenge I would put it on easy.

You can change your difficulty by pressing escape, than you go to options and you click on whatever you want to change. I would also put your render distance (how far you see) on far, it takes a wile to load so don’t keep clicking on it. Than go to controls and look at them. You should also put your inventory to “E” instead of “I”, it is easier to reach like that. All tho I would keep walk the same. When in sneak mode or crouch you can’t fall off of blocks and you can’t be seen as well by a mob (mobile).

At night (if you are on easy) monsters come out and you will most likely die if you don’t have a little hole to hide in. But first you need coal and for that you need wood. but before you go out looking for wood, make a spawn tower because that is where you will start whenever you die.

To collect something you have to left click and hold, to place a block you have to right click. After you collect about 15 wood you press “E” and in the top right there is a small crafting square. put all your wood in your crafting area and make sure it is all in a stack. This is the end of this post I will continue with part 2 on my next choice post!

You are probably wondering why I am not saying “STOP! DROP! AND ROLL!” Well, that is for a fire, this is for an earthquake! Earthquakes are just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than a fire. A fire usually only  affects one house, but an earthquake can affect a whole city or MORE!

• If there was an earthquake at my house…

1. And if I was on my bed I would go behind my door in a corner.
2. And if I was playing video games I would go under our foosball table.
3. And if I was at the computer I would go under the desk.
4. And if I was at the dinner table I would go under the table.

• If there was an earthquake at school…

1. And I was at my desk I would get under it and hold on to one of the legs.
2. And if I was at the computer lab  I would get under the desk.
3. And If was on the main field I would get to the center.
4. And if I was in gym I would get to the corner near the door.

What would you do if there was an earthquake at home or at school?

This is a zoom post, many people don’t now how to do a zoom post or comment on one.  All you need to is have a picture and say where it travels or what happens to it, but you have to expand on the other people’s comments. So here is the picture!

Hope you have fun helping me write the story of what comes next!

Video games! Most of you play them, most of you love them. I just got a X-Box 360 for Christmas, and I have Halo Reach. A computer game I got is Minecraft. In Minecraft, you get a randomly generated world and you build anything you can imagine. At night, monsters(skeletons with bows, creepers that blow up, zombies, spiders that jump, and jockeys that are skeletons riding spiders) come out to play. There are racing, hockey, war games.and about twenty more types of video games. You can be anything you want to be in video games, whether it is Sidney Crosby scoring the winning goal or Jeff Gordon streaming past the finish line, it is all in video games!

They’re wooden, they’re brown, they have chips out of them, their LINCOLN LOGS!  These things are old but they are so fun!  I have a tub of them and you can build lots of things, the more logs you have the better stuff you can build.  Most people would not buy them because they are not a in a video game.  My set came with a tepee,a canoe, lots of windows, a door, a roof, lots of little roof platforms, two Indians, two Settlers all made of plastic, and lots of logs!

That is why you should buy Lincoln Logs.

Ahh pets!  Gotta love ‘em, eh?  They can search for stuff, be a guard, or just be a pet.

I have a cat named Enzo (pictured on the left).  My dog, Koko (picture on the right) died but I have always wanted a pug or a rabbit. My cat is very nice and long-suffering.  We got him at an adoption shelter. His old owners dressed him up in baby clothes.  My grandma got Koko the day he was supposed to get put down at the S.P.C.A.

Here is a joke I learned, What is the difference between a dog and a cat?  Dog:  You feed me, give me my own bed, and love me.  You must be a god!  Cat: you feed me, give me my own bed, and love me.  I must be a god!

If you have any animal jokes or a story, drop me a comment.  Bye

Have you ever owned any Silly Putty?  That stuff is amazing!  You can mold it to anything and then mold it to something else.  My dad and I play a game where one person molds it and the other tries to guess what it is. I made a table corner and my dad  it told me it was the top of our cabinets.

The problem with Silly Putty is that it sticks to carpet, some wood, and hair of course. There is a lot more but I can not list it all.

You should seriously get some Silly putty because it is so cool!

Respond back to me if you have molded it to some cool stuff.

Hi,

Have you ever drawn a dragon?  I really recommend drawing dragons to you.  Here are some elements a dragon can have: fire, water, ice, electric, acid or nothing.

This week in school I had to draw a dragon, and I was thinking that you can draw them any way you want to.  Mine was a skinny, 100 foot long ice dragon that was defending its eggs from knights that were paid to kill them.

Dragons also love to hoard shiny things (gold, silver, diamonds, copper etc). So they steal lots of stuff.  That is why nobody likes dragons!

So have fun drawing a Dragon!
