I had no idea you could get a truck in WOW. If I knew that, I would have begged my parents to let me play along time ago.

My brother would love to have a skateboard ramp in our backyard. Too bad we don’t have room for one of these.

Another amazing clip from YouTube. I thought it was a fake and was correct in my assumption. The machine is supposed to be a collaboration between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa. The myth claims the team used mostly John Deere farm equipment and spent 13,029 hours setting up, calibrating, and tuning the machine before shooting the fantastic clip. But alas, the clip is just what you might imagine. Computer animation — but what a cool clip!

Funny funny commercial.  The Super Bowl has the best commercials of the year.  This one is kind of old but still very funny.

Okay, so a long time ago (in cave man days maybe), my Dad watched this crazy cartoon.  Thing is, no one else his age has any memory of such a cartoon.  Well, this clip proves he did not dream the whole thing.

WARNING. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FINAL HARRY POTTER BOOK, THEN BE WARNED. THIS POST CONTAINS A SPOILER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This year for my free choice book I read “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” by J.K. Rowling. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is about Harry’s search for horcruxes with his two best friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. The trio sets out after Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour’s wedding at the end of July to find the four remaining horcruxes, to, in the end, be able to kill Lord Voldemort. I have chosen the ocean as the symbol to represent this book. The ocean is a symbol for the character Harry Potter and the book.

The ocean is a perfect symbol to represent this book. The ocean is full of all different types of fish and plants. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is full of different types of characters. Some characters are not human and do not exist in real life, like the goblins, hippogriffs, and the dragons. Also the human characters differ, there are Muggles, and Witches and Wizards. Hermione is a smart and clever witch but she is very different from Bellatrix Lestrange, a dark witch who loves Lord Voldemort. Harry has some of the same abilities as the Dark Lord but he is very different from the Dark Lord. Harry can speak Parseltongue like Lord Voldemort, but what Harry has the Dark Lord does not is the ability to love causing them to be very different. Also the ocean never stops and is like the witches and wizards in Britain. They kept preserving through the time when the Ministry was corrupted and Lord Voldemort was controlling them. All the people who fought at The Battle of Hogwarts preserved even though people were dying and at the end they kept fighting even though they thought Harry was dead. Third of all, the tide goes out but comes back in like some of the characters in the book. In a previous book Percy Weasley leaves the Burrow and becomes as quoted from Fred Weasley in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” page six hundred and six, a “Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron.” Percy ends up coming back to fight in The Battle of Hogwarts with his family. Ron also leaves Harry and Hermione in the woods while looking for horcruxes because he has become very angry with them. He returns weeks later to complete the search with them. The last character to leave and come back is Remus Lupin. Lupin leaves a pregnant Nymphadora Tonks to help the trio with their search. He returns to Tonks after a fight with Harry about leaving her and his unborn child, and that James would not have wanted Lupin to leave them. The ocean is the perfect symbol for representing this book.

The ocean is not only a symbol for this book but also a symbol for Harry Potter. The book shows the reader many examples to let them believe that is a perfect symbol to represent him. First of all the ocean never stops even after it reaches its destination, meaning the tide is always moving in and out, never stopping. Harry is like this, never stopping even after he reaches his destination. He never stopped trying to put an end to Lord Voldemort and after he successfully killed the Dark Lord, Harry did not stop trying to defeat the Dark Arts. After Harry left Hogwarts he became an Auror and later the head of the Auror department. Even thought Lord Voldemort is gone there is still Dark Magic and people who use it, so there is still use for Aurors. Also in relation to the ocean never stopping, Harry showed perseverance in the book. Harry never gave up trying to find horcruxes or expressing his theory on the Deathly Hallows, though Hermione kept shooting it down. He also was willing to go somewhere not necessarily save if it meant finding horcruxes or something to destroy them with. Thirdly, the ocean is full of different types fish and plants. Harry is full of different ideas, qualities, and emotions. There are many qualities, which Harry possesses including perseverance, determination, kindness, and most of the time patience. Harry also has many different ideas including ones about how to defeat Lord Voldemort; destroying the horcruxes or possessing the Deathly Hallows. Also there are many different emotions that Harry feels, he feels anger and hate towards Lord Voldemort for killing his mother and father. He also feels anger towards himself because he believes it was his fault Sirius was killed, and he also feels love towards Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys in a brother sister way, but a romantic love towards Ginny. The ocean is a perfect symbol to represent Harry.

Over all, the ocean is not only a symbol for the entire book but also for Harry Potter. The ocean relates to Harry because it never stops and is full of all different types of fish and plants. Harry never stops trying to stop the Dark Arts, he show perseverance, and he has many different ideas, qualities, and emotions. The ocean also relates to the book because the tide goes out but comes back in, it never stops, and it is full of different types of fish and plants. In the book characters leave but come back like the tide, the characters have to preserver thought tough times, and the book is full of different types of characters. The ocean is a perfect symbol for not only this book and Harry Potter but also the whole series.

My brother wants Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition. It’s not his birthday, and Christmas is pretty far away. Wonder if I should help him get the game or not. Ummmmmmmmmm?

Now my sister has made her birthday request, which makes more sense because her birthday is near. She wants Twilight Collection by Stephanie Meyer. She says it’s a great trilogy. Perhaps I’ll read it — after she gets it for her birthday.
