Favorite Comedian

After spending the afternoon watching Comedy Central and various Youtube videos of comedians, I can safely say I wasted three hours of homework time having fun, go WISE!! Anyway, I have made a list of my top favorites they are as follows; Dane Cook, a very animated comedian who talks about things from public bathrooms to the Kool-Aid Man, Gabriel Iglesias, a rather large Mexican man who spends most of his acts making fat jokes about himself and his friends, Jeff Dunham, an astonishingly good ventriloquist whose puppets range from a talking Jalapeno on a stick to purple alien looking guy named Peanut. However, overall, my very favorite comedian is Kevin Hart.  He talks mostly about his family and his experiences since he is rather short so he has lots of funny stories.  I really had a great time doing nothing but laughing, just another perk of having fun for a WISE project!

Call me Gilligan

With nothing to do yesterday I decided to cross another item off my bucket list by writing two identical notes and attatching one to a balloon and putting the other in a bottle with a cork to keep it air tight. The balloon I released yesterday from my yard and the bottle I threw into the lake today. Written on the note was my phone number and Twitter name (you can never have too many followers). Also, I written on the note was an explanation of the purpose of this note. That it was for a project in school and making a note and releasing it like that is a childhood fantasy that I think many kids, or at least I, have had. I really hope someone finds them and contacts me. I think it would be really neat to have someone find my message.

Green Thumb

Since the beginning of March, my dad and I have been growing seedlings of tomatoe, pepper, cucumber, and bean plants. This weekend we decided that they were mature enough, and the weather was good enough, for them to be planted in the garden. So another item on my bucket list was crossed off as we spent a few hours turning the soil over and planting the seedlings. Also, we strung twine for the beans to cling to and climb up. It was really great to enjoy the outdoors and spent quality time with my dad doing something that will give us fresh veggies all summer long.

One hole golf course

A couple days ago I really wanted to go golfing but I couldn't find anyone to go with. Instead I decided to cross an item off my list by making a flag and a cup to hit the ball into. Also I mowed the area around the cup really well to make a green. It was actually really fun I mean it was the first time I enjoyed mowing the grass which is a weird feeling. Anyway, I had a lot of fun making the course and I look forward to playing on it and moving the green around my yard throughout the summer.

Mode of transportation

One of the best items on my bucket list is to go to prom in some kind of special vehicle.  Obviously a car wouldn't do for this so most people would upgrade to a Limo.  However, for this, I have decided a Limo isn't special enough either.  For my prom, which is coming up this Saturday, I have coordinated with my friends to go to prom in a boat since the prom will be held at the Ithaca Farmer's Market on Cayuga Lake.  I mean honestly how many people can say they went to prom in a boat? It may not be the fanciest thing in the world but it's unique for sure and definitely fun! So here we go to prom 2K14 on a boat!

Star Fruit

A bit back logged with posts so here they come. Last week I went to wegmans to purchase a star fruit and a dragon fruit.  I could only find the star fruit, unfortunately, but the good news is that I loved it! Another great learning experience thanks to the WISE program! The star fruit tasted, to me at least, like the combination of a crisp sour apple and a pear.  I love both of these fruits so it's no surprise I enjoyed them together. I really enjoy trying new things and I think that's the best way to grow as a person.  It's always fun and you always learn something by trying something you have never done before.
