A poem of friends

I feel the need to write in rhyme,
Don't worry-it won't be a long post this time.

ON THE SUBJECT OF FRIENDS

To have a friend is to have a wall.
Something to lean on when you fall.
Friends are fun, and cool (to you)
devout, amenable, and solicitous too.
They always there for you when needed the most,
and never ignore, brag or boast.
Friends like you for who you are,
not because you're a superstar.
Friends are: hefty, lean, slight and tall.
But to single out these qualities isn't being a friend at all!
Disabilities-or injuries-mean nothing to true friends!
It may be hard for them, but it's easy to transcend.
While having lots of friends can never hurt,
Being a friend requires much more effort.
Follow the protocol listed above,
And you'll be a great friend-one to be proud of!
Being cool, hip or popular doesn't matter to me.
A true friend is surely what I want to be.

Sorry For Delay!

Hi guys! Sorry for the long no-posts wait. My little brother has been hogging the computer forever playing some Pokemon Crater game. Ick!
You may have noticed the new ebay stuff. Try out the picture Search! It's pretty darn cool. The "Hatter M" thing is a comic book (yeah, you heard me right, a comic book)that goes with a series called The Looking Glass Wars. Awesome series-a whole twist on the whole Alice in Wonderland thing. It (back to the comic book) has a pull-out map and a story and lots of cool stuff. It was only sold at one comic expo in Japan and now it's really rare.
Today I had to make a tough desision. I was sitting at my lunch table with my "friend" Jimmy (Herner) and, of all things, he pulls out of his pocket a magnetic chess set. "Wanna play?" he asks with a grin.
I didn't even know how to play chess. But I said yes. And, throughout the game, I felt pressure. Pressure because it felt like everyone's eyes were staring at me, and someone would say, "Greg's playing chess? How uncool." and laugh at me and my life as I knew it would be over. Yipes! But at the same time I was having fun, and I knew that it would be rude to just say, 'no more", so I played on. And although some kids looked at me a little weirdly, none of them were my friends. Because friends would never look at you at a level lower than they see themselves on.

hi guys!

Hi! Just checking in. Me and Connery McGuire and his mom, Ms. Fultz (the Weller librarian) went to PKI on Friday! It was so totally awesome! We rode on Face-Off in the front seat-way cool. (see pic up top.) I might go back tomorrow, to the waterpark.

(PS- I'm rereading HP4 at the moment. Just finished HP3. I'm also [trying to] read EVIL GENIUS, a cool book about-you guessed it-an evil genius. )

Pirates 3 Soundtrack

Hey-guess what? I just got the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End. It's really awesome super cool. Here are my fav tracks in case you happen to get ahold of it.
1. Hoist the Colours-This one actually has voices in it. It's from the beginning when the people are being hanged and they start singing. Pretty cool, but also pretty short.
5. Up is Down- My all-time favorite PotC song-this is a great tune that makes you wanna do a little jig. This is from when Jack runs across the ship and flips the Black Pearl over. Check this one out, if anything, or get it on iTunes.
8. Parlay-the one with the western-style shootout music is this one. A new flavor for PotC, and I kind of like it. Another short one.
11. I Don't Think Now Is the Best Time- This is the big drawn-out fight scene at the end, with the whirlpool and stuff. Get ready to listen for a while-this one is almost 11 minutes long.
13. Drink Up Me Hearties- If "Up is Down" is my favorite, this one sure is a close second. A great song, with some quiet little stuff at the beginning and then the amazing PotC theme for a while, then ends with a sad tune that makes you want to sniff and weep for poor Orlando Bloom. It also makes you want to see the movie.

That's it. See you later! Eat your spinach!

First Post-Yippee!

Hey, guys! This is Greg F.'s brand-spankin-new bloggy thingy! Cool, huh!
All right. I want to get one thing straight right now. My family does not approve of this stuff because it gives away too much personal information, so I'm gonna try to make this OK. So, creepy people, begone! I'm not gonna tell you anything personal! Sorry! I don't like child abuse (who does?) and you better not stalk me. (Even though I may be quite handsome and worthy of stalking.)
Well, today is June 16th. Nobody's home right now because my mom is riding her bike across the state of Nebraska and my little brother and my dad are at my little brother's baseball game. So I'm all alone. Today my dad read out of the Torah, which is like the Bible for Jewish people, so we all congratulated him on that. It's really hard-imagine reading Spanish, in cursive, with no vowels, and there's a certain tune you have to memorize to sing it in. Yeah. That's how hard it is.
Well, I don't want this to get too long, so I'll go now. Bye, and thanks for tuning in! Eat your spinach!
