Check these videos out. People think today's music is weird! But look at these. These are a lot weirder. These used to be popular songs. I like the Witch Doctor.
Don't eat me! Why would people like this?
The Little Blue Man is too sad at the end. Why did it have to be this way?
Why?
Witch Doctor--tell me the magic words.
Ooh-aah--ooh--e-ahhh--ting--tang--wa-a--wa-a--bang--bang. Now that is weird.
Yesterday after school when my grandparents picked me up, instead of going home we went to Julian to check out a campground that we might go to during Easter vacation. And to our surprise several times we went by little bits of snow. It got bigger and bigger and bigger until the whole place was covered in snow. My grandparents didn't know it was going to be there but I sort of did. We weren't prepared for it at all. I didn't have gloves and so my hands got cold. After a while they started burning.
I had a lot of fun in the snow. Papa and I had a snowball fight but gramma was just sitting in the car being a lump. And that's fact. I asked her to get out and she did once but then she said it was too cold and got back in the car. I love my gramma.
This is a picture of the beautiful snow when we first saw it.
This is a picture my gramma took when she was in the car.
Isn't that a beautiful picture?
Here's a picture of papa and me getting ready to do a snow ball fight.
The snow really reminded me of Italy when one day after school Camilla's family and mine went up to the mountain named San Michele and saw snow. That is a really good memory. All Italy memories are good.
P.S. My gramma's not really a lump. I really love her a lot.

Hi Everyone, I won a writing contest sponsored by the YMCA. The essay was about responsibility. I could have chosen caring, respect or honesty to write about but I wrote about responsibility. I had to write about what responsiblity means and someone who shows it and I wrote about my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Johnson. Here's a picture of the congratulating letter, the certificate award that said I won and my wonderful masterpiece.
I got two Sea World tickets for the prize and I will bring a friend with me. I'm hoping my Uncle Jeff takes us. Please...Uncle Jeff?
Here they are: (You can click on the pictures and make them easier to read.)
There are lots of memorials I have seen but in Washington D.C. I saw a lot of special ones.
This is the Lincoln Memorial. I didn't get to go up the stairs because it was blocked off and the line was long.
This one is the Washington Memorial. It's the biggest of all. You can see it from all around, every direction.--and every spot of the world.
This is the Vietnam War Memorial. It was really sad. It had a picture of the person and a piece of Trident gum. The Vietnam War Memorial had the names of all the Americans that died in the war. There were thousands and thousands of names on it. Maybe even a million.
This one's the Korean War Memorial. It has statues of people with rain parkas on and that are walking through a field.
This is the WWII Memorial. Each state of the United States has a pillar in this memorial. This is me standing by the California one.
A lot of men and women have died in wars so that our country can be free. We need to appreciate them.
I met some people that are very important to our country. Can you guess which one is real?
This is George Washington and me. He didn't know what a blog was so my gramma had to say journal instead. He didn't know what a picture was. He said: "Are you making a portrait?"
This is Abraham Lincoln. He is two times taller than me. But where did his hat go?
Oh, here it is.
This is me and President Obama. He was really nice. He made good jokes. Don't I look like him?
And this is Snail. She's my good friend. I had a good time with her.
These boots were made for walking and that's just what they did. And now they can't walk anymore. They're dead in D.C. Poor boots!
Hi everyone, I'm going to tell you more about here in DC. Two days ago I got interviewed by channel 6 news. That night I was on TV at 10 o'clock. I didn't get to see it because that station is only in San Diego. Here is a picture of me being interviewed.
Here's a You-Tube clipping of it done by my friend Murph. Thanks Brian.
Later that when I went back to the Hotel to get some lunch I saw Gray Davis, California's former Governor, sitting with his wife having some lunch. I got a picture with him. Here it is.
When I met him, I got to talk to him, I shook his hand and of course got a picture with him.
Yesterday I went to the--- INAUGURATION. I was in pain because of the crowds, because of the cold and because I was tired. But-- I got through it. I'm glad I did too. If I didn't I wouldn't have been able to see President OBAMA get inaugurated and my class would have been very disappointed. Here I am, here is a picture of me.
Hey everybody I'm here, I'm in Washington DC. As you all know I'm going to President Elect Obama's (soon to be President) inauguration.
In a few days I'll be puting pictures on my blog from Barack Obama inauguration.
Yesterday I met Chiocciola, otherwise known as Eirin, and we went out for pizza but the place we went to was full so we ended up going to a mexican food place. We had a lot of fun. Thank you Snail.
I hope you enjoy it.And I really, really like reading comments.
