Sesame Street turns 40!


Hello there!
Thank-you google for celebrating the 40th birthday of Sesame Street! I remember when I was little, and I watched sesame street in the morning with my mommy before I went to school. I loved all of the characters, especially elmo! The next time you go to google, look at the adorable picture of one of the Sesame Street characters!
I think that if you find a way of doing this on google, you can see all of the "special googles", and there you can find all of the Sesame Street characters they've featured during the week.
Bye-Bye for now!


Holidays!!!




Hi guys,
I know that it has been a while since I've posted anything, so I'll get right to it then. I know that it's only November, and that we still have Thanksgiving coming. But I'm just SO excited for the holidays! I really can't think of anyone who does not like the holidays. I mean, if you are in school you get a break, maybe your family goes on vacation, or maybe you get to see your family, if it snows where you live you can have some fun outside, you get gifts, and so much more!
So I want to know what you love about the holidays! What do you do? Are you with your friends, family, or both? Do you have a wishlist?
I'll be posting my wishlist in December!
I can't wait!

Fun Funds

Hello there!
So I decided that I am going to make a new category that I am going to write about called "Fun Funds", because I am so big on community service. It will include brief information about funds and organizations that I have learned about! The first fund I would like to talk about is called "Darius Goes West". Darius Goes West is actually a documentary of a project about a boy named Darius, who suffers from a disease called DMD, or Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The reason why I am writing about this is because this is a disease that can be cured in our lifetime!!! Although everyone everywhere wants to cure cancer, AIDS, etc. we still have lots of research ahead of us before we can cure the epidemics. But DMD can be cured because there have been many breakthroughs in DMD studies already. Please visit the following websites to learn more about how you can help Darius, and many other boys all over the world!

Owl City


Hey Guys!
So I recently just fixed my iPod and was searching through iTunes to add some more songs, and I was looking at the top 10. Usually I am not the kind of person to buy music from the top 10 because it doesn't really have my kind of music, but they have this song called "Fireflies", and I cannot stop listening to it! I think that the words are beautiful, creative and original, and the music video is simply adorable. I highly recommend buying it. Listen to the song or watch the music video on YouTube by clicking here, or download the song on iTunes for your iPod like I did! Just to do something a little different than before, I am going to post the lyrics to the song below. Tell me what you think in the comments box!!

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
