It's almost time to go home and I refuse to really think about it, because when I do it makes me sad to leave all the great people here. I want to keep my summer busy and start off running. Speaking of running, guess who hasn't been to the gym? Yeah it's me. But I'll play tennis tomorrow so that should make up for it.

Now for the fun. Yesterday I exposed Jess to late night television. And I realized how random Letterman is, and how great it is to see it on tv. I want to work for him.
So he plays these games like 'Is This Anything,' 'What's Your Problem,' 'Will it Float.' And so Jess thought about others that could be in the genre. The Gems include:

Guess My Injury
What's in my pocket
What's that machine
How'd it Break - my fave
Can you believe it
Hi or Bye (a person waves and you figure out if it's Hi or Bye)
Is that fun
Would you touch that

And I have a show next year that you get sponsor for stuff like food. Well Jess wants to make a Random Club where people get together and do random things like watch squirrels, talk to ducks, throw pudding, sharpen pencils etc. We pick the activity at random from a hat. But not everything is fun, sometimes you gotta do stuff like clean toilets, or take a math test. So I think to help promote the club I'll have them sponsor the show so we can play these games listed above. It's going to be awesome.

Funny little fact AJ is running for Secretary...NOT VP. Hence, speech shall be interesting.

Walking into Abbys room I realize that I have the same fan she does. I tell her. She says, "Wow..we're like the same person." Only she said it rather dry. I think she was being sarcastic. Oh that Abby!

You know what's a great feeling. Selling back your books to the bookstore for money and getting 50 cents for a book you paid 13 bucks on.
Priceless.

So yeah I haven't gone 24 hours without seeing X2 since it came out. I spent a total of 20 bucks. I'm helping fill in the quota. I will prob see it again, but I need a little break. I spend about 3 hours online yesterday looking up the history of the comics and the character stuff. Yes, I am a dork. It's my new obsession.

Hmmm whatever shall I write? Well last night I wrote a speech for AJ - he is running for Vice President next year. Not for the United States, but for Sachem High School. Last year I wrote his and he won. The secret is to write about stuff totally unrelated to the election. Don't talk about what you have done, what you plan on doing. Talk about random things. People like to be entertained. Razzle dazzle 'em, and they'll make you a star.

So here it is:
Vice President.
Some are unaware what that phrase even means. Let’s begin the educational process.

Vice
Vice rhymes with Dice (slicin’ and dicin’), Rice (a delicious food and good source of protein), Nice (a characteristic), Lice (a parasite), and Ice (a form of water).

Water
Has the ability to quench thirst.
Scene:
Harry: Boy, am I thirsty.
Sara: Let’s drink water.
Harry: What a swell idea.
End Scene

In addition water takes on different forms such as Lakes, Rivers (Rio in espanol), Ocean, Puddle from rain.
Rain – form of precipitation from the atmosphere.
There is a 70% chance of rain tomorrow, shattered showers throughout the day, low of 60. Winds NNW.

Moving on to President. Let’s break this three syllable word up. Pres-i-dent.
Pres
Presents. Gifts. Birthdays. Holidays. Happiness. Cake.
Yum…cake.

I – me, myself.
Used in a sentence – I am AJ.
Spoken in the first person allows the reader/listener to connect on a personal level.

You – Second person. Often times used to project a feeling onto the person.
You should wear pants.

Third person: He/She gives a distant feeling
Ex. Sally ate an apple.
That’s all we know about Sally. She ate an apple. Does she like apples? Who knows.

Now to the last part of the word: Dent
Dent (noun) a slight hollow made in a surface by a blow.
If you make a strong guy angry he will dent your face in.
I say No to Fighting.
But I say Yes to Vice. Yes to Presidents. Yes to Vice’s of Presidents. Yes to you. Yes to Me. Yes (dramatic pause) To AJ.
Thank You.
