I am chicken patties, mashed potatos and Arizona green tea.
I am a guitar, ringing out chords.
I am two dogs, chasing down snowballs.
I am spiced ham sandwhich, with just mustard.
I am a bag of sour cream and onion chips, waiting to be opened.
I am the color red, seen on sweaters everywhere.
I am waves crashing down on the beach.
I am a basketball, being dribbled up and down the court.
I am a puzzle waiting to be solved.
I am a turtle statue, watching the world go by.
I am a radio, playing the newest songs.
I am my iPod, playing my favorite music.
I am a television, showing reruns of my favorite shows.
I am a football, soaring through the air for the winning touchdown.
I am a family, caring for everyone in it.
I am a book, opened to the first page.

Family Story
My mom always tells the story about how her brother lit a mattress on fire. It goes like this:
The ice cream man was outside, and my uncle needed a nickel to get an ice cream. He was searching all over the house until he found one under his bed. He wasn't sure where it was exactly, so he lit a match and went under the bed to get it. As he picked the nickel up, he noticed a strange smell. It was coming from the mattress that he had lit on fire with a match! So, he ran down the stairs and got a mug of water. He then ran back up the stairs and tried to put out the flame, repeating this until his older sister noticed. She followed my uncle upstairs and saw almost the whole mattress in flames. She called the fire department and they put out the flames, but, they needed a new mattress.

Blogging Academically
This weekend, I finished a science project. For the project I had to create something following the scientific method. I could make my own science experiment, or even make a recipe. I could so anything as long as I followed the steps of the scientific method. I created a science experiment involving dog bones and bananas. I would climb a 15 foot ladder and drop the banana and dog bone from it. Then I would record the times. After that I would repeat, but the dog bone and banana would have a parachute attached. I would drop them from the ladder and record the times. Finally you can compare the results.
Methane on Mars Moving Faster then on Earth
Recently, scientists in Paris have made a discovery about methane gas on Mars. It is being made and destroyed faster then it is on Earth. The methane is distributed unevenly across the planet and can change with it's seasons. The methane gas can be produced by volcanic activity.
Malawian Village Gets Electricity
Malawi has been in a terrible drought seven years ago. This drought killed thousands, leaving resources low and no soil that can be used for farming in some areas. The one thing that was always around though, was wind. So a 14 year old boy began going to the library after not being able to pay for school, and taught himself to build windmills. He used anything he could find. The windmills he has built pump water to his town and give electricity to some places.
