Movement Festival

Hey guys. I just went to a music festival in downtown Detroit. It was called the Movement Festival. I saw a lot of cool people and some really good performers. What I didn't see were the best performers since I only went to one of the three days of the festival. I missed Kill the Noise, What So Not, Bixel Boys, and others from OWSLA. OWSLA is Skrillex's record label. I loved watching and listening to Maceo Plex, Kraftwerk, and some others perform. What I need to tell you is that everywhere you walked, you heard SUPER LOUD BASS. Since it was in Hart Plaza, you also saw a nice view across the Detroit river to Canada. I got to try a lot of DJ equipment too. A famous older lady called Grandma Techno gave me earplugs to wear so my ears wouldn't explode. She said that all DJs wear earplugs. She was sort of right because of all the bass. She's been attending the festival since it first began ten years ago. Everyone kept wanting to take selfies with her (I should have but I didn't know she was famous at the time). She can't walk because she is disabled and in a scooter.  She loves to hold onto the stage railings and dance with her upper body, head, and arms only. Anyways, it was an awesome concert!

Undertale

OH MY GOD! I'm almost done with Undertale! I still have to fight Asgore, Asriel, and Flowey, but I really don't care. I beat Metatton (Which was SUPER HARD for me) and now I have to fight someone that I can barely get. Man, I can't believe I got this far! Just reaching the core was hard! Thank god I bought all those Glamburgers! I might need help to get to the end of the Asgore fight, but I'm trying to do it myself. I really, really hope that I get to the end so I can progress further into the game! Wish me luck!

Timo

Timo visited today and is currently watching Paw Patrol. He's fine right now but he was CRAZY earlier. Cameron is still crazy, and I was practicing ballet (?). Timo was destroying everything earlier. NEVER MIND HE'S KICKING THE WALL! Never mind he's-OH NOW HE'S STANDING ON THE COUCH! I was totally wrong about this. Timo's hissing at me now. Whatever. What I'm trying to say is that it's Grandpa's birthday and Timo and Cameron are absolutely crazy! Anyways, I hope I survive.

Ty out.

IDK

On December 19th, 5 students (including me) brought the Helping the Homeless project to BCS. Through announcements and advertisements, we collected diapers, baby food and wipes to give to homeless mothers in Oakland County that are in need of supplies for their children through the Lighthouse program. I started this. I got the idea from how everyday I would always see a homeless person. One time in McDonald’s, a woman asked us if we could help her get breakfast. One of the questions asked was, “What is your opinion on the Lighthouse project?” Our interviewee, Ty K., responded, “We saw a problem with mothers not being able to supply their infant children with the necessary sanitary products, such as diapers and wet-wipes.”  Another question that we asked was, “What do you think could be another opinion on your Lighthouse project?” We asked Hanna D. what her opinion was. She, “thought it was a good idea.” We also had a question, “Why is this homeless organization called ‘Lighthouse’?”

Not-Yo-Popcorn

A long time ago (about a month ago), in a galaxy really close away (aka ours), a group of four kids decided, “Hey! I want good popcorn! All these flavors are bland and sucky!” and then, out of the blue, a random voice said, “How about we make our own really weird combos of popcorn! Then we won’t need to eat this dumb popcorn!” Everyone said yes and thus started a company called, ‘Not-Yo-Popcorn’. Yay.

Not-Yo-Popcorn is a company (not yet unless we get your help) that makes wacky flavors that may taste bad or good, depending on your palate. The thing that makes the popcorn different from other popcorn is that it is healthy for you. We use reduced fat products and spices with many vital ingredients for keeping you healthy.  It is perfect for kids.

 You can try our Sweet Section, which is basically something for the sweet tooth. Try our 4th of July popcorn, which is a combination of pop rocks and basically firecracker popcorn. Or you can try Sweet Dreams, a combination of red velvet, cake batter and ice cream sundae popcorn. Christmas time and you have nothing to eat? Try Peppermint Delight, a combination of chocolate mint and peppermint popcorn.

 Going for something a little bit more manly? Try our Man Up section! You can try our most famous popcorn, the famous Nacho Popcorn (that's where we got our name from) which is just Nacho Popcorn!  Want to try something more dangerous? Try our Scared Straight Popcorn, which is some of the spiciest popcorn around!


I’m Ty, I’m Colin, I’m Owen, and I’m Austin, and this is Not-Yo-Popcorn!

Song

My heart beats to the drum
As the wind makes a small hum.
The breeze carries me
As the world slows time.
And I feel so high.
Higher than the sky.
And I know I’m not alone.
Cause this is always my home.
And I go like
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
I go
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Cause I know I’m not alone.

As hard as it can be
I’m feeling free.
I’m touching the clouds.
Look at me now.
And I’m feeling so tall
Taller than the biggest mall.
And I know I’m not alone.
Cause this is always my home.
And I go like
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
I go
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Cause I know I’m not alone.

Top 3 Undertale Secrets

1.

At the end of the game, dodge all the touched credits. If you do so, a door will unlock all the way in Snowdin. When you go in, you will be treated to "Toby Fox's Office". There will be a dog representing Toby Fox who accidentally made a game by barking. 

2. If you set your time to October 10th at 8:00 P.M., an enemy called SO SORRY will say that he's late to an art meeting. This character was put in during a Kickstarter to get Undertale up and running.

3.

W.D. Gaster

W.D. Gaster is a character that lots of theories have been made about him. The only thing we know is by going into the True Lab. Here is where Gaster worked before something happened and then vanished and then Alphys became the Royal Scientist. Basicaly, there are supposed to be 21 entries, but Entry 17 is missing.  To find it, name the fallen human Gaster. The game then crashes. When you open it up, W.D. Gaster's Entry 17 is showing. But all in Wing Dings. So W.D. Gaster most likely stands for Wing Dings Gaster. Everything else is a mystery.

Williamsburg

2 days ago, I went to Williamsburg. It was really fun! We went to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. I got to see James river. It was very cool! We also went to Ripely's Belive it or Not Museum. There was so much to do there! I also saw some really neat chickens. What's so neat about them? They are super endangered, and those are the few remaining. I got a ton of souvenirs. This includes soap, bouncy balls, and more! Anyways, it was a super fun trip and I really hope I get to go their again!

Motivational Poems

As if life is as good as it gets,
Things may seem terrible for you.
Trust me.
I’ve had worse times.
It’s like holding on to the thinnest branch
In the world
While suspended 500
Feet in the air.
This is how it feels to be frightened and alone.
But I promise
Life will get better.
I promise.

It’s not over.
And you know that.
Why do you think this?
Why do you think
That you’ve lost?
Yes,
You haven’t won.
But no, you haven’t lost,
Either.
Stay positive.
It always works.
And if it doesn’t,
Don’t be scared.
The ball is in your court.
