A Zigle-zagle Found In Flootzle

Once upon a time in the land of Flootzle, live a young Floozenite named Floop.  Floop was a small child with long green and yellow arms, and legs.  His ears where shaped like horns, which pointed out of his head.  He was furry and fuzzy all over.  This was an average look for a Floozenite, except Floops nose and ears where far longer than everyone else.  Floop was often made fun of for his differences.  He really only had one friend, whose name is Fritzle.  Fritzle was tall strongly built and was striped with blue and red stripes. He is the only one in town that is this color.  With the two friends both being different, it is easy to see why they would be friends.  one day Floop and Fritzle were out in the Rain Drop Forrest, where they were looking for cherry rain drops that fell from the trees every morning.  While setting there buckets up under the tree, a small animal walked from behind some bushes.  Neither of the two had ever seen an animal like this before.  It had short bulky legs, a small body, a long neck, long lose and ears, and a long tail.  It was striped like a rainbow.  The animal came to one of the buckets looking for a drink. While it did the boys grabbed an empty bucket and through it over the animal.  They got another bucket and trapped the animal.  They grabbed the rest of the buckets and ran back to the town.  They ran to one of the town elders to see if he had ever seen an animal like this before.  Once there the old man let the two boys in, sat them at the table and asked what they needed.  The two showed the man what was in the the bucket and there was a sense of shock on his face.  He went to his book shelf and grabbed a large book titled animals from azle to zizle.  He started naming off animals, cezles. bezzles, tezles, wezzles, keplers, zeplers, heplers, and many more.  Till he got to the mythical section of the book where he found an animal called a zigle-zagle, which had a picture of an animal that looked exactly the same as the animal they found.  The old man then started jumping around in excitement. The two friends looked at each other confused then asked the man why he is so excited.  He then calmed down then went on to explain how what they found was a what was thought to be a mythical creature.  And how people would come from near and far to see what they have found, and that the boys would be recognized as hero's across the nation.  When the town heard about what has happened, they instantly wanted to make the creature the towns mascot and sent out news to all the near by towns to come see the discovery.  The two odd friends from then on where known across the nations, and where the hero's  of the town.

Cold!!

I think it's pretty safe to say winter is officially here.  Today was the second day we had to scoop the driveway.  Tuesdays like always seem to be the worst days of all.  That could just all be in my head though.  I had to work from seven till two fifty last Tuesday.  Which is good for money, but bad when I have a game I leave for a half hour after.  Chase and I have not been getting into the weight room as much as I'd like.  It is just so easy to ignore the alarm and continue sleeping.  Basketball is going alright.  It seems that I got to a slow start but Tuesdays game actually was one of my better games this year.  There is something wrong with my left shoe though.  I think the heel has an air pocket in it that might be popped, I'm not really sure.  I haven't been getting to see Abbie as much as I'd like lately.  Mostly because my parents won't let me out past nine thirty, ya I think its ridiculous too.  I mean I am sixteen now I think I should get a little more freedom.  Basketball is going to be done for a while after this week. We have a game tonight, after that we are done for awhile I believe.  I have been enjoying the fact that the tuck is four wheel drive lately.  It does very good in the snow and I hardly ever slide around.

Miss ya Abbie!!

Sick Days.

These past few day I have been sick.  I had to sit out of practice Tuesday, and Wednesday I didn't hear about the change of practice time till it was too late.  I first got sick Tuesday.  Which made working absolutely suck.  I had a basketball game Monday and Thursday.  The Monday game we won against AGWSR.  We also won yesterday against Grundy in over time.  Tonight Abbie and I are going out to pizza hut.  Then we are going to the movies.  I just got orders from dad to put my car away for the winter.  Which means I need to take the half attached muffler off, put it in the car,and move it off to the side of the drive way.

Sad Day

Today my amazing girlfriend Abbie left to New York for a week.  She expects me to be completely fine with it. How can I be fine with her leaving?  I made three hundred bucks in the past week, which I like very much.  Most of it came from the brewery that we helped tear apart so they could rebuild. With my amazing girlfriend Abbie gone, it would be a pretty good time to hang out with Cody some time.  Maybe we will watch some movies, I don't know.  Basketball is going pretty good. There are thirty five people going out, so it's pretty big team in one gym.  My mother's computer is at the moment broken. It is at Best Buy getting it's keys put back in because Hudson decided it would be fun to rip them out.  She has decided to adopt my computer to play on all day long, then yells at me for not doing school when she is on it. Oh well, I guess I will just have to play Black Op's while she is on it. Bummer, huh?


Bye Abbie. I will miss you!!

Weekend Just Around The Corner!

Today is finally Friday!  I am so excited for tonight, it is going to be so much fun!  I  have weights later today around three thirty to about four forty.  After that I am going to my grand parents will shower and get ready there.  Yesterday for maxes, on power cling I got one eighty, on push press I got one sixty, and for pro agility I got five point oh three, best in the school.  Today we have incline, hang cling, vert jump, and broad jump.  My last broad jump pretty much sucked so I need to do much better today.  Its already looking rainy out today, not a very pretty day in the neighborhood.  Well I am off to go finish school.




 See ya tonight Abbie!!

Almost Done!

Today my mom must have forgotten it is Thursday, because we always sleep in Thursdays, but she decided to wake us up this time.  At lunch I want to try and get my car started while dad is home.  That means I need to go get it down off the blocks once I am done here.  Today we did some Spanish, first time in months.  I would much rather be taking Italian, rather than Spanish, but I didn't get to chose so oh well.  Yesterday chase and I went to the weight room to max out.  I benched one sixty five, squatted two thirty, ran a ten meter dash in one point six three seconds, and ran it backwards in two seconds flat. Now my legs hurt though from lifting and running, I am not to  happy about that.  Today we will be clinging and push press I believe, which is good for me as hang cling is my best lift.  So today could be an alright day! 
 
Still missing you Abbie!!

Excited!

Today is a normal, boring, school day.  Later today Chase and I are going into town to lift.  We have maxes and testing to do today.  Tonight "Psych" is on, it is a new season, and  I am hoping for it to be very good.  Tomorrow is also the start of "Burn Notice's" new season, which I am even more excited about.  But what I am most excited about is Friday.  I am taking Abbie out to eat for her birthday, she is leaving to New York the twentieth, and her birthday is on the twenty first, so dinner will be more of a goodbye/ happy birthday dinner.  Saturday I am working in town with Alex and Chase at the brewery, that we are helping put in.  We will be doing mostly demolition this week, as of last week we did more cleaning.  Basketball is getting started rather slowly, but will soon speed up.  Practice officially starts Monday, but we have been going to some open gyms to get more into basketball mode. Well I need to get going, if my mom will let me, she is in art mode and won't stop reading.

Miss you Abbie!! Can't wait for this weekend!!

Monday... :(

Well, its Monday, everything is slow getting started this morning.  I had a ton of fun on my date with Abbie Friday, it was a great way to start the weekend.  I got to her house about two, that is when we had planned on leaving. But she wasn't ready yet, she wasn't even home yet. She got home about two fifty. After that she had to do her make up because she claimed she wasn't beautiful enough to start, guess she doesn't know she is beautiful twenty four seven.  Once we left we headed to Cedar falls to go shopping at Collage Square.  We went to American Eagle first.  She decided I need more jeans, so we go looking for some jeans.  After about five minutes I have like five pairs of jeans in my hands.  I then thought "oh great! What did I get myself into?"   I also got a long sleeve black shirt to try on, and long sleeve gray logo shirt, and a plain white t shirt.  After trying stuff on I get some light jeans and some dark jeans, the black and gray shirts.  Now its Abbie's turn!  After shopping and trying stuff on, she gets two really cute shirts and a scarf! After shopping we went to Family video store in Waterloo, well once we found it anyways.  We got seven movies I think it was, for her party.  Then we went to Tokyo for food, it was really good and really fun watching the chef cook!  then I brought Abbie home, and took off home.  I had an amazing date, and we will definitely do it more often!

Miss you Abbie come over some time k? ; p

Game Day!!!!

Today we have our first sub-state game!  We are planning on going to a pep rally at school today.  KWWL came to our school at like five this morning, they were doing interviews of the volleyball players and some fans.  The volleyball team won there first sub-state game last night against BCLUW.  Our game tonight is against Dike-New Hartford, who got a number 3 seed, that mean we should win for sure right?  If and when we do win the game tonight, we will go on to play A-P Monday.  Then if we win that game we play the Friday after that, so there isn't much time between games for practice.  This Friday Cody is planning on coming over to work on my car with me!

Early Out

Last night we had some friends over from church to hang out.  We played ghost in the grave yard, ate ice cream, brownies, and sandwiches, we also chugged some root beer.  Ya I won, like always : p.  This morning I got to sleep it till like ten, and I loved it!  Although I am still tired, but that's what ya get when you stay up late.  We have football at like two forty five today, and will go till around four forty five.  This Wednesday we have our first sub state game against dike!  We got the number two seed in our conference, so we get to play at home!  This Friday I get to take Abbie out to shop/eat, really excited about that!

Been Awhile

Ya last time I posted I think I said I would be getting back to writing every day. That hasn't happened if you couldn't tell. Well football is almost over, jv is done, we still have varsity going on though. Chase and I have a freshmen vs sophomore game tomorrow to end the season. I don't think I have said any thing about our home coming dance yet so I could talk about that for awhile.  Well the night started off with chase and I going to Abbie's house to eat some pizza and pick up our dates. Then we went to the dance, where Abbie and I got our pictures taken. Then we hung around for a little bit, then we left to go to Waterloo. There we went to wal-mart and got some movies, brought them back to Abbie's and watched em.  I don;t think I could have made that sound anymore boring. But it was really fun. Favorite song today is "Just the way you are" because it reminds me of my beautiful girlfriend Abbie!

Im back

okay, so I finally got tired of getting hounded to write on my blog, so I gave in, and here I am.  I am not really sure who did more hounding, my mom or my girlfriend.  Well its been about two months before I last blogger, ans a lot has gone on.  Between having a baby brother, working on car, homecoming dance, football games, and hanging out with my amazing girlfriend!  Well I will start with my brother, Macklin Giovanni Clark weighed in at seven pounds tree ounces!  I believe he was twenty inches tall!  well it is definitely louder since he got here, which is rather annoying, but what can you do?  But he is nice to have around when he is happy.  Although I  don't thing I have seen him smile yet.  Which makes him seem like a rather unhappy baby, well he acts like an unhappy baby, so I guess it fits

baby!

Yesterday at work, we got poured on by rain.  It always seems like Tuesdays have worse weather, whether its raining, dark and cloudy, or just colder. When we got home from work we had to watch the kids because mom, dad, and chase we in town getting shoes for chase.  after they got the shoes, mom had a doctor appointment to go to.  They found out that the baby was upside down, so they sent her home, and told her to be back around three thirty. They tried to flip it by pushing on her stomach, but it didn't work. On tho positive side there is a good chance the baby could come within the next week.  Yesterday Katie had her first soccer practice.  Dad is going to be one of her coaches, assisted by Tod Rickert, who has coached me in soccer, and football.  Dad wasn't able to be at practice because he was with mom in the hospital, so I filled in for him, and helped Tod with the practice.

First Game (I Actually Get To Play In)

Last weekend was really fun, Saturday we went to Robs for some food and had a live draft for football, which took forever!  Sunday I went to adventure land with Abbie, her family, and some of there friends.  we started our day off going to a store and got our pictures taken in a 1920's theme, so I got to dress up like a gangster for our pictures.  We brought food to make sandwiches for lunch so we wouldn't have to buy food at the park.  Since it was the weekend, and one of the last weekends the park would be open, it seemed like the lines we extra long this time going to the park.  We decided it was ridiculous to wait ten minutes to go on a ride that lasts twenty seconds.  But what can ya do?  Today Chase and I have our first jv game against South Hardin, we are going to own up on some people!  That's all I got for today, goodbye!

First Game

Today we have our first varsity game of the season!  Chances are I won't even play, but i will be dressing and on the side lines.  School seems like its going by fast enough today!  I had a math test, science test, and about to do a Spanish test.  Later today Willie is coming over and staying the weekend with us.  Sunday I am going to Adventure Land with Abbie and her family, which is going to be awesome.  Today I have a spaghetti dinner after school with the football team to get ready for the game.   I am very happy the week end is here, it gives me lots of time to rest.  Tomorrow dad and I are planning on working on my car before we leave to Baxter.  we I am going now so ill be back Monday with some other lames story to talk about. ; p

Can it just be done?

I am getting very tired of school very fast!  I just want the weekend to be here and fast!  This week has been long and tiring!  Good news is I should get my car parts today so we can get started on fixing that some time this weekend!  Saturday we are going to Baxter, where we will have a live draft with some friends.  We have a football game tomorrow night, so tonight will be our last practice for the week.  Mom and dad went to re-aline the tires on the red car but will be gone for lunch so we will have to make our own food.  I know that sounded really sad complaining about making my own food, but I am really tired ; p.  It is very cold in our house today, and i am missing one of my socks.... but ya the windows are open and I don't feel like closing them.  Well I have to go now so goodbye!

So tired!

Yesterday at work Alex and i decide we would try to get our work done as fast as we can.  We ended up running over half of our route, we got done around nine twenty when we normally get done around ten!  After we did that I went home took a shower and got ready to go into town..  In town we first ate at Burger King , then we went to JC Penny's and got some clothes.  After there we went to Manards to  get a few things, which included candy.  then to the UPS store then to Fareway, then we went home.  Just in time to get ready for football.  Today it seemed like I woke up more tired than usual, which is weird because I went o sleep earlier than usual.  It doesn't help I had to wake up to do dishes because i forgot to do them last night.  I am getting pretty annoyed of my writing class, it bores me and I rather not do it!  But then again its getting that way about all of my classes!

week number two

This last weekend was so much fun!  I went to a party with Abbie on Friday, we watched fireworks, and hung out with some friends.  Then Saturday we went to the fair, walked around for most of the time, saw a high dive show, and went to the Matheny's to end the day.  Sunday we went ice skating for Jordin's birthday party after church.  Later that night I went to the movies with Abbie and her family, which was also really fun.  Then Monday comes around to mess everything up and start us back up on school.  School in town has an early out today because of the heat, so I will be going to Abbie's to hang out with her.  Also because of the heat our football practice is from six to eight! I will be staying the night at my grandparents tonight because I work tomorrow morning. Now this is where I say goodbye for I must go eat!

last day

Today is our last day of school for the week.  Later today we are going into town for a spaghetti dinner with our football team.  We have a scrimmage fallowing the meal in Gladbrook at the Pit.  The jv team will play first (which is me), then the 5th and 6th grade play then the varsity warm up and play.  After the games tonight I am going to a pool party with Abbie!  Then tomorrow we are going to the Iowa State Fair for the day and we might be going to a demolition derby!  I just need to get past today's school the i will be free for the weekend!  Sunday we are having a surprise party at Young arena to go ice skating, I have never been ice skating before, and I have bad ankles, so i will be bringing braces for both ankles.  Hopefully i can make it out without rolling my ankle!  Well enough of blogging i need to get to work so i can be done for the week!

Just another day

Today I got to sleep in a little bit more just because moo and dad never yelled down at us to wake us up.  For breakfast today we had sausage and cheese on some bread, I just took everything off mine and ate the sausage.   It seems like I am extra tired today, I am not really sure why,  I just don't have much energy this morning.  Yesterday Alex drove me into Grundy to the courthouse to get my school permit so now I can drive myself to practices, and to lift weights, because Alex doesn't always feel like getting up to lift.  Today we are having turkey and bacon sandwiches for lunch, the more meet the better ;P.  I think we are all ready for the weekend, so we can be done with school, and to get a break on football!  After i post this I will be done with school for today, and will be able to rest for more practice tonight.  One more reason i don't like school being started is because I have no time to hang out with Abbie any more :( between school and football the only time I can see her is on the weekends.  Now for car updates, we are expecting the new parts to get here around Monday.  Once here we should be able to get it up and running so we can take it to a shop to get some other little things on it fixed!

Day off

Yesterday, which was Tuesday, we had a day off of school because dad has the day off and Alex and i work.  I work in town as the towns garbage man.  Yes it might be a gross job and the title is looked down on, but its good money and easy work, and believe we tent to find some way to have fun on the back of a garbage truck.  the worst part about the job would probably be, having to get up at six thirty every morning!  I am not a morning person, I can't eat, I won't talk, or even seem alive till after seven thirty it seems.  After work yesterday we came home to steaks being made, which happens to be one of my favorite foods.  After we ate we didn't do much the rest of the day, until football practice at three thirty.  Once we got home from football I don't think many of us we feeling the greatest, we all could point at least one sore muscle.  Today is the first day for public school, which means football practice will be shorter.  Today in Spanish class i picked my Spanish name, i picked Maximiliano.

First day of school

Today is our first day of school, and my first time using this blog.  Today for our school our activities and lunch schedule, activity= none, lunch=i am not really sure yet as my mother has not yet told me.  Coming up with ten sentences every single day is going to be pretty much impossible, mostly because my life is rather boring.  Today i am planning on going to my girl friends house (the beautiful Abbie Walton) when my father goes back into work.  After that i have football practice from 4 until like eight i think, though it might be sooner than that.  One good thing that has happened today was dad called summit racing(a car part company) and talked with one of the guys there about the intake manifold for my car.  We previously ordered a new muffler system, intake manifold, and carburetor for my care to get it running.  Yesterday dad and i went out and took the old manifold off(after braking a few bolts and bending some stuff around), after that we cleaned the engine and went to put the new manifold on, when we got the new part to the engine we notice there is no hole for the oil,  so we went inside did some research and found out that we had the wrong part. But we have it all figured out and will get the part ordered today and it should come together pretty fast once it gets here!  I should probably get to work on the rest of my school!  I am almost done i just have Spanish, and fine arts, and history left.

2010-2011 School Year

You are required to write at least 10 sentences each school day.  Pay attention to grammar and punctuation.  You may write about whatever you want.  This might be a good opportunity to chronicle your sports achievements and scores.  Be smart.
