School starting on Tuesday

It's the last days of the summer, and I am yet to do something barely exciting.

But Charlie is coming back on Sunday, and Connor and I are going outside to hang out with Ivan tomorrow. I don't really know what else to say.

Oh, I did upload a new video onto YouTube. Connor, Ben and I made it in mid-July, and I wasn't able to finish editing it until recently. It's about the murder of a famous musician and the investigation leading to a man's arrest. Here it is:


I don't really know what else to say. I just posted on here because I was bored. So, that's it.

Back from upstate, school starting on the 4th

So, I'm back again, and I won't be going anywhere for a while. We may be going down to Florida in February, but this isn't confirmed as of yet.

Our Uncle's House upstate was pretty fun. We made about three movies with our friend Tyler (one of them isn't finished yet), and one is available on YouTube. It's a spoof of Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator. On YouTube I had to split it into two parts, and you can watch them here:

Part 1:



Part 2:


The other two movies we made were The Singer 2 and TriNut. The Singer 2 is obviously a sequel to a 40-minute movie we made last year. TriNut is about a man with three testicles who ventures to be normal (my brother's idea).

Tyler was only upstate for two or three days, then went back to his home on Long Island. Afterwards, Connor, Uncle Michael and I went to Cooperstown to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame. We went there once before, I think it was two years ago. Anyway, that was awesome, and I bought a model bat and baseball, both with the official National Hall of Fame logo on them.

A day or two later, we went to Zoom Flume with William. That was fun. It's kind of a tradition now, since it's not too far away from my uncle's cabin. We usually meet William and spend a few hours going on all the rides. We normally go to William's afterwards for a barbeque or whatever, but he had plans so we went back home.

Then we came back on Sunday, and I've been pretty bored since. I also finished my summer assignment for high school Saturday Night (I brought my laptop up, but its use was limited because of the lack of an internet connection. I did connect it to my uncle's dial-up twice, though). It's not printed out yet because I still want to check it over one last time, which I'll probably get to either later or tomorrow.


So, that's been pretty much everything since I came back from Wildwood. Like I said, school starts the 4th, and I'll hopefully be able to do something before then. No one's really around yet, though. Charlie's in Massachusetts until the 2nd, Ivan has football practice (congratulations, Ivan – he made the team for his school) and I think Ben's in Texas.

I probably won't write again until something happens or it's close to school starting.

Back from Wildwood, but only until Monday

Okay, so we got back from Wildwood today. It was great.

The bus ride is about five hours either way (including a two screaming children on the way there, fairly audible), and we finally got there on Sunday. The first few days, we just walked around the boardwalk, played games, ate, arcades, etc. There were tons of claw machines, but on one of them the prizes were sports jerseys. I won a replica Yankees Derek Jeter Jersey (Away jersey) on the first try. :)

After that, we started to go on the amusement park rides on Wednesday, and went to a waterpark on Thursday. The waterpark is great - they have 6 or 7 rides, but they're all awesome.

The motel was okay - we went to the same one last year, and actually were assigned to the same room. I mean, it's nothing like the Hilton or Gaylord Palms (I know the name is a little odd, but please try to be mature about it and realize that in my opinion, it is possibly the greatest hotel on the face of the Earth), but satisfactory. The only downsides include that the fridge isn't as cool as I like, and there's a limit on TV volume which sucks with the AC on.

Anyway, it was fun. I didn't win many prizes in games or anything - pretty much the jersey I mentioned before and one or two stuffed animals. We came back today and got here around 5 or 6. Uncle Pete was in the apartment while we were gone, and he's leaving on Sunday.

On Monday we're leaving once again to go to my Uncle's house upstate near Woodstock. It sounds even better this year because our friend Tyler is going to be spending every night at Uncle Michael's cabin (as oppossed to the one or two nights he sleeps over) since his grandparents are going away. That's how we met him - his grandparents are my uncle's next door neighbor's, and he was there the same time as us. Now we're great friends. Maxy (Tyler's grandparent's dog) is also going to be staying at the house the entire time we're there for the same reason.

Once again, I'm not sure if I'm going to write again, but I will if I can. I'm here for the next two days, so it's very possible.

Going to Wildwood on Sunday

So, not a lot has been happening. Charlie's in Massachusetts, and I'm still going to be bored for a day or two. Uncle Pete is coming tomorrow, and he's staying in our apartment for a while when we're away.

Well, we're leaving on Sunday at about 10:30 AM. Wildwood was awesome last year - its pretty much 2 and a half miles of boardwalk filled with rides, amusement parks, water parks, games, food and stores. Last time we went we had a great time.

We're staying for about a week, and then going up to my Uncle Michael's. It's so fun up there, especially in the summer. He lives right near Woodstock, it's not very far from Cooperstown. We also have a friend that we see up there every year, Tyler. He's a few years older than me but he's awesome. Last time we were up there we made a 40-minute movie about a mentally challenged man who pursues a singing career.

So, now I'm just on AIM talking to Charlie. I just got my braces fixed (one of the brackets was lose), and picked up the bus tickets with my dad (to Wildwood).

Write again later, hopefully before we leave.

Still bored, Yankee tickets yet to come

Frankly, I don't even know why I'm writing today. There's nothing to write about. But, I guess I will, considering there's nothing else to do.

I don't know why, but I somehow feel obligated to write with grammar and spelling (as oppossed to the IM lingo I normally use online). In case you haven't noticed, I'm even putting apostrophes in the word "there's".

So, I'm still bored. The Yankee tickets have not yet came in the mail. I probably didn't mention it yesterday, but we bought Yankee tickets for the Red Sox game on the 29th through StubHub. The seats are so-so, they're in the upper-deck, but are in the same place as the last time we went last time (which were exceptional for upper-deck seats, they were in fair territory in right-field). Two homeruns came near us during the last game we attended, which was on July 31st. If you watch the highlights of that game, specifically Johnny Damon's homerun into the upper-deck, you can see my family and I. Anyway, these seats are practically the same. I tried to get a clear photo of us online, but I couldn't. You can barely make us out in the red circle:


So, yeah. No one's really around and there's nothing to do. And it's getting really warm in my room.

Oh, I forgot. Not that exciting, but I received something else in the mail. My $100 rebate for my laptop. There's a few things I'd like to buy, but nothing of high priority. I'll probably spend it on CDs or something. There's a few albums I want to get, some of which include Hotel California (The Eagles), Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys), and a number of Beatles albums.

Oh, and I found out yesterday that Tourettes Guy died. There's an announcement on the official site, but I'm not completely sure if I believe it. I mean, it seems like they want to stop doing the videos, and it's unlikely that he died, but whatever. For the most part, I think he's dead.

R.I.P. Danny (Tourettes Guy)

First post (again)

Okay, so this is my first post of this blog. God knows how many I've been through, but hopefully this one will last longer than the others. (Sigh)

So, I'm Sean and I live in New York City. It is extremely obnoxious to introduce myself, so I'll try to do this as quickly as possible. I'm a huge Yankee fan and I love classic rock (Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc. etc. etc.) You probably already concluded this through the title of this blog. My AIM sn is nyybeatle316, and the email is nyybeatle316@aim.com

So, yeah. I don't know what else to say. I feel like I've met someone and I'm immediately trying to talk about what's going on recently. Well, right now it's very boring. It's the middle of summer vacation, no one's around, and there's nothing to do. I'll be heading down to Wildwood, NJ on the 12th or 13th. After that, I'll be going upstate to my uncle's.

That's pretty much it for today. I will most definitely not be writing everyday, and I'm not completely sure how long I will write for.

So, write again later.

-Sean

Also, something you should probably know about me is that I can't stand rap music.
