I read an article about an air-port for animals.


This air-port makes sure your animal has no diseases and them they are taken to enjoy themselves at luxurious stables and Dog-parks.  No humans can ever go inside but are monitored on little security cams so the people can watch there animals from their own rooms.  The dog parks have huge flat-screen TV's and bone shaped pools and pedicure stations.  The horses and cows have large stables and other necessities for them.


I personally didn't like this article because I don't think we should spend thousands of dollars on animals because they are just pets.  I mean COWS,  you are just going to eat them anyway, why spend thousands of dollars on cows.  I personally think it is simply stupid to spend that much money on cows and horses.  

Birthday weekend

My birthday was a very busy fun-packed weekend.  It started on the 25th and ended on the 29th.  


On the 25th, we had a family birthday party and my dad brought 2 red roses and 2 helium birthday balloons.  I got a giant container of hot chocolate and 3 hats, a joke-book, a mega dot-to-dot,and some of my own boots.  After that, my family had a PAC-man tournament.


On the 26th, I had no school, and I had a friend birthday party.  We played really creepy games in the dark like, Zombie apocalypses, Mafia, Creature in the night, and different "dark" games.


On the 27th, I got to go Snowboarding!!!  It was REALLY fun.  Mom, Val and Matthew went tubing.  I did not go tubing very long.  After Mom and I went tubing, we went to a Hockey Game at the Sanford center.  The Hockey players were graduating men from BSU.  


On the 29th, It was Sunday, of course, and so we went to church.  After church, Mom, Matthew and I went to Target, And I bought the 3D version of Majoras Mask for my 3Ds.  


Overall, That weekend was fun and filled with friends and family.

I had an assignment in school to write a report about the 4 different kinds of animals i have read about in the past few weeks.


The 2 types of mammals I read about were the beaver and the swiftlet. Both of these make dome-shaped homes and eat fish.  The beaver lives in small groups but the swiftlet lives in large groups with tens of thousands of other swiftlets.



I also read about 2 different kinds of insects.  they are the bee and the ant.  Both of these insects sting because the ant the text was referring to was the army ant.  Both these insects travel in groups to find food but bees aren't usually nomadic while army ants are.  Another main difference , is that bees can fly and ants can not.


you are able to read the main articles in previous blogs.

I read an article about a certain building in London .  This building to most is extremely ugly, but i think it is beautiful.


This building was nicknamed the walkie- talky building because it is curved on one side like a phone.  It is a 37 story office building and sticks out a bit from its blokish surroundings.


The bad thing part about this building is that since it is curved, it reflects wind and light making them much stronger and aiming them towards the city below. the light from the sun can get so hot  that it can singe a persons hair or even melt a pool chair!


In the end,  only a small amount of people actually like this building , but most hate it.

I read an article about people helping kids that don't have certain parts of their bodies.


In the children hospital in Philadelphia, have been helping kids with crucial needs.  The article I read was about a 7 year old boy named Zion.  When Zion was 2, he got a life-threatening disease that spread through his body.  because of this, he had to have both hands, both feet and his kidney surgery removed.  until he was 7, he learned to cope with every-day life.  He even learned how to play video games!  When he turned 7, he was given a double hand-transplant, and it was successful.  The doctors had to watch him for 2 weeks to insure there would be no infections.

I liked this article because it made me realize how thankful I should be that this didn't happen to me and it shows God was really watching out for Zion.

army ants

                   ARMY   ANTS

Army ants are the deadliest ants who devour anything in their way.  They are also incredibly vicious.  they dwell in the damp rain forests.  Each colony of ants has around 20,000,000 ants in it.  That is a lot of ants.  These ants are very vicious versus other ants.


In the daytime, the ants set up camp and protect their queen carefully.  at night, though, they go out hunting and eat anything that gets in their way.  Some  of the stuff they eat is, goats, lizards, chickens, pigs, scorpions and anything that gets in their way.  Army ants don't just stay in one place, though, they are nomadic killers.  Sometimes these ants raid even other ant nests,  They re  vicious .  They can kill anything.  they are unstoppable.

sustainable energy

                             SUSTAINABLE    ENERGY

I read an article about sustainable energy and what really is in it.  Many people think that the new solar energy is super natural and clean.  Well, it is not as natural as you might of thought.

Here is an idea on what sustainable energy uses to work.  the first percent is made with 13% renewable which is made with 48% hydroelectric, 34% wind, 8% biomass(wood), 4% biomass(waste), 3% geothermal, 3% solar.  That was only the first percent in sustainable energy. The rest is 1% oil, 19%nuclear, 1%other gasses, 27% natural gas , 39% coal.


I think that being "green"is mostly for attention.  I think that we can use the resources that God has given us but not to waste them.  The People that say they are 100% natural, they really are not as you saw in the example above.  on the other hand , everyone has their own opinion.
