The Lego Movie

WARNING: Do not read before you see the movie. Because I will spoil some of it for you.

Okay, at first I didn't think this movie would be much fun, I actually though it would be nerdy and lame. Then I actually saw it. This movie was (mostly) in Legos so that made the graphics cool. It had humor that even adults could enjoy. One example is when 80’s spaceship guy wanted to build a spaceship throughout the whole movie, and when he finally got the chance to build one he shouted “SPACESHIP” every time he hit/ attacked something with the spaceship. Another funny part was when Emmet was saying "hi" to all of his neighbor’s cats. He said "hi" to ones with names like Fluffy and Whiskers, and then they responded by meowing. The last one was named Jeff and it responded in a deep and depressed meow.  It may not sound funny now, but it was kind of funny in the theater when everything was upbeat and all of the other cats were very happy and cheery. One other funny thing was that the Lego evil mastermind who had a worker called Bad Cop. But, Bad Cop was also Good Cop. They both had glasses and he was one other side of the Bad Cop face. So they changed at random until President Business rubbed Good Cop's face off.

Now less about humor and more about plot. So President Business comes in with super long shoes and he takes something from a Lego man with a long beard and was voiced by Morgan Freeman. That something is Kragle (Krazy Glue with the Z,Y, and U scratched out). Morgan Freeman came up with a prophecy about a special Lego man who will stop the Kragle. Then we see Emmet, and ordinary Lego man who always follow the instructions. At work, he finds someone looking for something around his work area. It is a beautiful girl, or at least as pretty as a Lego girl can get. He scares her off by being awkward, and he then chases her and he falls into a hole. He then he finds the cap to the Krazy Glue. This is the part where you get up, get in the car, drive to your local movie theater, buy a ticket, and find you seat. Then you go back and get popcorn.

Praise the Lorde!

Lorde and a dog.

            

Have you ever heard a song about diamonds on your timepiece, jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash? Neither have I. But the Lord has, apparently. Oh, I mean Lorde. Who is that you ask? She is a seventeen year old singer (pretty young, right), and her real name is Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor according to Wikipedia. By her name, you can probably tell that she is not pure American. She came from Devonport, New Zealand. She is still a teen so she isn't that influenced by all of the paparazzi. She even said in Team, "  Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things..." In other songs, her lyrics criticize other people, herself, or  just humanity in general.

So let's all admit, she’s kind of a rebel. Don’t worry Obama, she’s a music rebel. If you have heard Team, you know what I’m saying. She says “I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there” and then in Tennis Court she says “Baby be the class clown; I'll be the beauty queen in tears; It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah); We’re so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear; Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)”. She is not like all the other singers who always sings about their love problems like Adele, but she criticizes every picture perfect teen, or White Teeth Teens. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD_PyhJehjA ) But in that song, she also states: "I am not a white teeth teen; I tried to join but never did." So she's different, but unique. 

And that's why we love her.

She has made many songs like Tennis Court, Royals, Buzzcut Season, Glory and Gore, Still Sane, A World Alone, and Team. (My personal favorite often varies.) If you have no idea what I’m talking about, click there to watch the Royals video: ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc (just so you know, I have no idea how the video relates to the song. Tell me if it does by comment.) She is very weird in her own way. When she performed Royals at the Grammy Awards, she was very twitchy (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/grammys-lorde-performs-royals-674189) and she didn't sound exactly the same, I honestly like her much better in the album Pure Heroine, but she was still being herself. Cause, just think, where were/will/are at the age of seventeen? Most likely not a pop singer who preformed at the Grammy's. So respect the Lorde!

Things to Do When You're Bored

1. If you're alone, turn on music to feel like some people are there. Or you can actual invite some friends over because obviously, you can't be bored with your friends over. 
2. If you are surrounded by a group of boring people, do something make things interesting like scream "I have a severe peanut allergy!" at the top of your lungs.
3. Spin in circles while looking up then stop and see if you can stand straight. Then, if you can, repeat until you fall over. If you can't handle the dizziness, then bury your head in a pillow until it goes away.
4. When you get the chance, dunk you head in conditioner and see how soft and slimy it is. This will work better when you have longer hair and be less disgusting if you use shampoo first.
5. Pull a prank. One great one is called "Hey, that's my money!" Basically, you lay down under a pile of leaves, sand, etc., and then you put a pile of money next to you. Then when a person walks by, their greed will take over and they will want the money. Then when they try to grab it, you sit up and say "Hey, that's my money!" Even better if you record it. (Look up Hey, that's my money! on YouTube to see the vines.) 
6. Do you ever think of something fun to do, then never do it? For example, if you wanted to ask someone something, then after they leave you remember to ask the question, you should ask the question now. 
7. If you have Google Earth on you computer, go there and try to find: your house, your school, other places you go, the tiniest island there is, or the sun. You can find the sun by making Earth smaller and move the Earth around until you see a small bright light. You can also see the Milky Way.
8. Look at the rest of my blog, AND BE AMAZED BY MY AMAZINGNESS!

Welcome to Something You Just Might Need!

Welcome to Something You Just Might Need! 

(I'll give you a hint: You might just need this.) So, you might need something, right? Of course, if you are looking for actual information, sorry, but don't trust Wikipedia, or Wiki answers. But if you are looking for anything related to Lorde, ducks drinking soup, procrastination, boredom, passion, Spongebob, things to do when you're bored, or just flat out fun, then welcome. You have reached what you think is blogger heaven. In this blog, I will post things about things. Well, specifically, words about things. I might not be the best source so don't use me in a debate, I am not a valid source but my sources are reliably but I will not state my sources at the end, this is not a debate blog. Just so you know, I might post a blog based on a comment so add your ideas at the bottom. Remember, this blog is not a sleep pill. You don't want to choose something you know I don't have an idea about. If I have an idea on the subject, I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
So choose something like why dogs are better than cats (cause they are). But also choose something that is interesting like, well, basically anything about The Hunger Games movie or the Catching Fire movie. Cause those movies are the best. (Look at my upcoming post called Why Catching Fire is Better Than The Hunger Games Movie.)

I hope you enjoy this blog and look at it frequently (hopefully not too frequently). 

Surviving Sixth Grade and More

Surviving sixth grade is an ancient art practiced since the beginning of documented history. This ancient art is still used today and is used for junior and senior high school and even college. If you never mastered this art, then I have no idea why you clicked on this post. For everyone in school, here is how to survive sixth grade: 

Step 1: Find/ make friends. 

If you have no friends you will be conquered by sixth grade. When you are conquered by sixth grade you get into a bad middle school. When you get into a bad middle school, you drop out of high school. When you drop out of high school, you are unemployed. When you are unemployed, you suddenly hate yourself forever. Don’t suddenly hate you self forever. Switch to DirecTV. Oh, um, I meant get friends in school. You can eat lunch with them and gather new friends and they can be there to provide a shoulder to cry on (hopefully metaphorically) when you get a bad grade. Just think of any high school girl drama movie. The popular girls are never sad at school because they have loads of friends (they usually cry over guys). So get friends to be happy. 

Step 2: Get cool school supplies.

Do you see anyone who has fun with a slate and chalk? That’s what I thought. NO. If you want to have fun in any class, get pens with the Rilakkuma guys on them. But seriously, school is so much fun with fun supplies to keep you distracted from all the work you have to do. But what happens when you don’t have to time to do the assignment at home and it’s due next period? Well… 

Step 3: Procrastinate.

(This is the most important part of sixth grade. Everyone does it, even SpongeBob.) Let’s say you get too distracted by that duck drinking soup. What are you supposed to do with that assignment due next period? That depends. Let’s say you have to finish and English assignment and English is right after break. You might be able to finish it at break, but it would be so much easier to finish all the homework in the periods before lunch at home then later finish an assignment at lunch before a class. P.S., if you want a perfect score, ignore the duck. Your work will be horrible as an amateur. For those who want to take risks, remember to NEVER do work in front of teachers. They will see you as irresponsible. If you get caught doing their work, just say that you: 
 Didn't understand the assignment until you friend explained it to you this morning. 
 Had too much homework doing their other assignment (that was assigned yesterday). 
 It’s another teacher’s assignment that is due in the future (not today). 
 Are just making corrections (turn to page that is finished). 
 It’s better than procrastination after the class period (if you’re really witty). 

So, for those who are sly, just remember, a D or higher is better than a zero or unprepared slip. 

Step 4: Never take grades to seriously. 

People who cry repeatedly over an A-? I mean really? Some people can get a C+ on their quiz and have a cake saying “Congrats on your C+!!!” So just never take life too seriously, you’ll never live through the end of it. (Get it?) And grades are only to test your knowledge. They are to test yourself. If you really want to be smart, then go study and do not follow these instructions. These are only a guide to those with a D- as their highest grade. So never think that an assignment worth ten points will affect what college you get into. If you really think that, you should deserve those grades. 

Step 5: Find you passion. 

If you have a choice in doing you classes, take a lot of time to decide. DON’T PROCRASTINATE!!! Now I may look like I am going against my word, but procrastinating is not a thing you should do but what to do in case of an emergency. This you have time to decide. So don’t choose science over literature if you want to be a writer. Just first, find you passion then make your choices. If you have absolutely no idea what you want to be or where you want to go to school, just cover the basic things like math, science, literature, history, and something else you might want to try. So know what you want or chose a subject to help you find your passion.
