I haven't blogged for such a looonnnggg time, so I guess I should stop being lazy and type something. The only thing I can think about is "Kid Nation". Well, the season finale is coming up and this show wasn't that bad. You can tell, though, at sometimes that the director is telling the kids to do somethings and start up fights.
This second last episode was about unity, overall. The town councils left and the town "sheriff" was left in charge. The sheriff actually did a better job, in my opinion, compared to their council leaders.
In one of the other episodes, they won an arcade with a lot of cool games and they didn't have to pay in buffalo nickels, so it was all free. However, in the town council meeting they agreed to shut down the arcade because they realized that they didn't know each other very well and they had 3 days left.
Another prize they won was hot air balloon rides.
On the season finale, they are suppose to recieve the final gold stars. Apparently, they're worth more than a regular gold star which is 20,000. I wonder who deserves them.

more "Kid Nation"
I haven't posted a blog in a long time, so I decided that now would be a good time since I have no work.
It's about the fourth episode of "Kid Nation". This time is was on how the kids had arguments over religion. They were sitting in the lunch room and then somehow the conversation is on the topic of religion. Then a kid says, "My religion is the best!" and the rest continues after this. The town counselors try to make the towns' people closer by having a prayer, but no one came because it was going to be said in different ways by different religions. In the end, this was solved and everyone had a positive view on the others religion.
There were also complaints on one of the town council's members. Here name is Taylor and she is 10 or 11 years old. A lot of the kids said she acted like a dictator and threatened them a lot. She also sat there and did nothing to help around. Her team, the Yellow Team, were the cooks numerous times and they cooked horribly and didn't clean the dishes. The kitchen was a mess every time they were in there and the thing that really made the kids mad was that Taylor was always in the saloon drinking coke and candy. I have a feeling that someone is going to take her spot soon and that would be a very good thing for everybody.

10 excuses for work
This was the actual thing I was looking for yesterday, but instead I found the other one. Here it is:
1. Someone was following me, and I drove all around town trying to lose them.
2. My dog dialed 911, and the police wanted to question me about what "really" happened.
3. My girlfriend got mad and destroyed all of my undergarments.
4. I woke up and thought I was temporarily deaf.
5. I just wasn't "feelin' it" this morning.
6. I was up all night arguing with God.
7. A raccoon stole my work shoe off my porch.
8. I super-glued my eye thinking it was contact solution.
9. I was putting lotion on my face when my finger went up my nose causing a nose bleed.
10. A prostitute climbed into my car at a stop light, and I was afraid my wife would see her and think I was messing around... so I got out of the car.

Excuses
I found a website which has excuses for being late for school or for forgetting your homework. There's about 200 excuses and they all really did happen. Here's one that I thought took too much time and effort to come up with:
"226. Second semester freshman year I managed to attend fifteen classes combined between five courses for the entire semester. The way in which I did this would surely send me to hell if I weren't Jewish (no hell:)) This was a two step process. First, I told one of my teachers that a friend of mine from home had gotten into a car accident and I had to go home and see him. Two weeks and no classes later, I was writing an e-mail to the same professor to explain my absences. I wrote that my friend had sadly passed away and that I had to attend the funeral in... and this was the kicker... Hungary. Why Hungary? Why not? No death certificate necessary as well as two more weeks without class. I passed this info on to all my other teachers and it worked for three weeks. Then they started asking questions so I had to tell them I was taking his death pretty hard. Bam! Two more weeks without classes. At the end of the semester I had missed most of my classes and all of my midterms so I went to see the school psychologist to tell him I was more or less having a nervous break down. A few more phone calls to my teachers (who were more than sympathetic) and I finished the semester with two B's, two B+'s, and one F (the heartless bastard). What's more, I actually had a friend at school who was from Hungary and was also a slacker. Around finals, he hadn't turned in his final or his midterm for a class we were in together. He told me he was going to tell the teacher a friend of his in Hungary had died. Thank God he talked to me first and we managed to straighten things out. We decided that he had a friend in Turkey that had died. He got a B+, too."

"Kid Nation"
Well, the title explains it. I just watched the first part of "Kid Nation" and it seemed interesting. On the first night there at the town, the kids already started to argue a lot. The town leaders are ok, but they don't seem to get that much respect from the others and I think it's becuase they aren't the oldest ones.
I also saw on the previews that they actually do have to do everything by themselves and that means killing the sheep and chicken for meat. I'm not sure yet if they're actually going to do it, but it'll be interesting.
I thought it was cool how one of the teams get to run a store. They sold candies and soda for only 5 cents (I liked the price!).
O yea, one of the kids already won a gold star, awarded by the leaders, for working the hardest. They most suprising part was that it was actual gold! $20,000!!!
