In my more recent blogs I am writing more than I did before in my first blogs. I feel that I have found my purpose in my writing. My blogs have gotten better.
This weekend I got an Xbox one which is great because most of my friends have one and now we can play online with each other. I got far cry 4 for the Xbox one because all my friends have it. This weekend Harrison, Colton, and I played a lot of it. You cant play one game forever and it has gotten a little boring so I am going to get a new game. This Tuesday the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt comes out. I have mentioned this game in some of my previous blogs and I am so excited for this game. This game is a open world/role playing game. You play as the main character Geralt of Rivia who is a witcher. A witcher is someone who has been magically modified to be a great warrior and tracker. They have the ability to control magic and also have this thing called a witcher sense which heightens their senses and awareness of the things around them. Witchers are professional monster hunters who kill monsters for coin. Geralt needs to find the child of prophecy who is a woman who could change the coarse of history. The wild hunt are these giant league of monsters who are also after the child of prophecy and kill her because she could be the one to destroy them. This game is supposed to have a huge map and I have heard that it takes 30 minutes to get from one end of it to another.
Me and literature circles have a love hate relationship because I love to read but I hate to have to read at a slower pace than I am used too and not being able to read ahead. I like to talk about a book though just not with the schedule and job sheets that we have to use. I know why we have to do them so we can get a grade but I would just like to have an unrestricted conversation about my book. The whole time my whole group thought that he was innocent and couldn’t possibly have murdered a little girl and we were I solidified agreement for the whole book until we found out that he was crazy in the last five pages. Like I mentioned earlier that I didn’t like to do the job sheets but at least they weren't very difficult yet still got you thinking about the book. I liked my book but it was far away from my favorite but it got me thinking about the phycology and concept of interrogation and truth and how the interrogator looked and everything to find if he had did it. For instance he said that he was going to get Jason a drink of pop but he wasn’t and he said that he forgot on purpose but really he was just trying to make him thirsty and distracted so that Trent could get evidence. There is also the aspect of how Trent had one chair be higher than the other so that Jason would feel smaller.
One of my ideal summer days is getting up as late as possible and then going to Maxwell's for an all you can eat buffet brunch. I love bacon so that would probably be my whole breakfast then I would like to play some baseball then go cool of in someone's pool and then because its summer I can stay up late playing video games because I don’t have to wake up in the morning. Then I would sleep in as late as I could the next morning. I would probably play witcher 3 when I woke up because it would have come out on may 18 then I would call one of my friends and we might hang out or it might be a Friday so I have to get ready to ump baseball that night with Spencer and we would ump two games and switch out between home plate ump and field ump and honestly I prefer home plate umpire more because I get to call strikes and balls but we switch out each game so that is even which is great and I will be able to put the money I make from umping into saving and save it for a rainy day. I would probably have had practice for summer baseball that day so that would be fun.
Last week I read a book called The High Druids blade, the main character is Paxon Leah who run an airship freight service in the four lands. He lives in Leah and it is called Leah because his family used to rule over the city. His family also used to be able to control magic but cant anymore. Then his sister is captured by a wizard and he grabs the only weapon available to him which is a black sword above his fireplace. Then he finds the wizards location and he goes there on his airship with a barmaid who was his sisters friend. While there he has to attack the wizard and get his sister out and while doing so he reveals that he can control the magic hidden in the sword. He doesn’t tell anyone but the druids know and they recruit him to be and paladin and protector in their order. There he trains with the sword in swordsmanship and magic until he is needed again. Then his sister is captured again and he has to go after her and when he finds her he finds out that she has been brainwashed into thinking that the leader of the order tortured her and that she has to kill her. This complicates things because when she gets to the orders headquarters she finds the leader and tried to kill her using a magic called wish song that she didn’t know she had and can control with her voice instead of a talisman. Then Paxon finds an antidote and she becomes fine again.
I really like baseball and this year I had tried out for the school team and had made it which was great! Each night that we play a game we play a double head against the same team. I play first base and pitch which is great because I love to do both. We had already played to Davies teams and our record was 4-0 which meant that meant that we had four wins and no losses. Then last Friday we were going to play the Moorhead 8th grade team. We were told that we were going to play at sentential but then we got notified that we were to play at the Moorhead high school. The first game we lost 0 to 1 and I sate because I was going to pitch the next game. Also one of our third basemen Tyler Hanson had hurt his ankle because of the first basemen was standing on the base. He had to go to the doctor and they found out that he had done something to his growth plate in his ankle and he had to wear a boot for at least two weeks which really sucks. Then the second game I got to pitch and I was a little nervous at first because it was my first time pitching in a real game this year for school ball but I did pretty good and we won 14 to 8. Now our final record is 5-1 and we are supposed to play the Packers tomorrow but it is going to be cold which is bad.
It’s an interesting to thing think about the future about how we try to see into it and see where we will be. That never works out though because there are always things that get in the way and no matter how much you try life rarely works out the way you want it to. Here though it were I hope to be . . . I hope that I will be helping people and that I will be leaving my mark on the world and not be some person in a cubicle. I hope to have explored and found out what life really is. I hope to see New York, Seattle, and to travel Europe and see what’s out there outside my little world. Also and on my way I hope to have found someone special. I don’t think I would want to have kids yet and that may be a good thing. I hope to have stayed in touch with my friends because they make me the person that I am. I really hope that my life hasn’t been influenced by drugs and other substances and we better have some awesome technology by the time that I am thirty. We better have hover boards because those are long overdue. In the end I guess I just hope I’m happy and that fourteen year old me would be proud at what I have become and not ashamed. That’s the thing I don’t really know what I want to be but I know I want to be happy.
This past Sunday was Easter Sunday and on the break Friday I had we over to Reece’s with Troy and we hung out and then Saturday I had decided to chill out because I had a really bad cough and wasn't feeling very good. Then Sunday My mom, brother, and I got up and went to church and my dad was already there because he had to usher that morning. The church was packed and we had to sit in the back row in the back most seat. We had to sit there because my brother had been lazy getting up so we were late and people were already in their seats. I still had that cough I had mentioned earlier and had a lot of trouble not coughing during the service. Then the family went on to go to my grandparents for Easter dinner. My Uncle, Aunt, and Cousins got there late and could only stay for a bit because they had already ate at their other grandparents’ house. Then Monday I just tried to savor the last day of my long break. Troy, Reece, and I had played a lot of borderlands 2 over the weekend which was game of the year one or two years ago and been on sale for about $7 with all DLCs and extras included. This means that I have access to more weapons and two more characters than usual for only $7! This week is going to be great because there are only four days and there are about 6-7 more weeks of school left.
Lately I have been watching a lot of this show called doctor who on Netflix. This show is about an alien who is the last of his kind and has lived for over 1200 years. He has 2 hearts, a sonic screwdriver, and his TARDIS. TARDIS stands for time and relative dimensions in space. This is his spaceship that can travel anywhere in time and space. His ship is disguised as a public police call box that is smaller on the outside and bigger on this inside. He uses it to go around in time and space and saves planets and universes from danger and he especially protects Earth. His sonic screwdriver is a tool he uses to lock doors and make things work but it doesn’t really work well on wood. You know how it is you have been alive for 1200 years saving the universe you get lonely so the doctor has his companion. His companions are most often females that he shows the universe to. The doctor has suffered great losses and many of his companions have died to aliens while he was saving planets and what not so while he grieves sometimes he goes alone for a little bit but. He once had a companion for so long that when she died he became very depressed and isolated and wasn’t going to save or help people anymore. Then came Clara . . . he heard her in the dalek asylum but then she died and then he saw her again in the 18th century and she died and now he has found her in London which is very peculiar. The show is British so everyone has accents and can be hard to understand but that’s what subtitles are for and I still like it.
This week I’m going to talk about just what I want to talk about. If you have seen any of my previous blogs than you know that I am very excited about bloodborne a video game. This game comes out tomorrow Tuesday 3/23/24 and I am planning on getting it then. I am also excited about Witcher 3 wild hunt because one of my favorite categories of video games is open world and RPG and this game has both. This game is about Gerald of Rivia a legendary witcher, witchers are humans who can use magic are very strong and fast, and they have very acute senses. Witchers hunt monsters and creatures of the dark to protect humans. In the game you are trying to find the child of prophecy and young girl who can go across dimensions and could destroy the world if caught in the wrong hands and Gerald wants to protect her. I haven’t played any of the witcher games before but am very excited and I have also done my research and they said that it is open to new players who haven’t played the previous games. I am also excited for the end of the school year. Today was the first day of quarter 4 which means that summer is very near. Sometimes I love school and am very passionate about it but other times it feels so monotonous and the same. I am also sad though because I am growing up and will soon become an adult which scares me a little.
