Here they are, hope you like them! I still don't think my voice sounds right, but if you don't know what my voice really does sound like, then I guess it's okay. But I wish it would sound like my real voice...

My Version
Okay, since I was very dissatisfied with the Maximum Ride audio book, I decided to record my own. This is The prologue and Chapter one of Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. My voice sounds WAY better in real life, because the recording does something weird to it. Well, anyways...hope you don't think it sounds as bad as I think it does. (I'll get more up soon...hopefully my voice won't sound so wacky...)

They're fuzzy because I had to take pictures of them with my camera...so, they don't look as good as they do in real life...but Simon is coming soon!
It's facinating...
How a quote from so long ago can still be held true today.
"America is great because America is good. When America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." That was said by a historian a few hundred years ago, during a time when kids could walk down the street to the store and buy candy without fear of being kidnapped. A time when a kid could walk to the neighbors house with a loaf of bread and not worry about being beat up and robbed. A time when-well, you get the point. Today though, it's different. Some kids can't play outside because of gang activity. You can't go to the store without a grownup. America is slowly becoming less and less good. Therefore, America is slowly becoming less great.If we want to remain a strong country, we need to remain a good country. The founding fathers based this country on good, moral values found in the Bible. Now, I'm not saying you have to become a Christian to have good moral values. (It helps, but if you don't wanna become a Christian, that's your choice.) We can do things in the world that will make it a better place. For example: 1: don't drink and drive. dont drink period. Lots of car accidents could have been prevented if people hadn't have been under the influence. And quite a few accidents and other bad things happen with drunk people. Their judgement is impaired, and they do stupid things. 2: Be polite! there are so many kids out there today that could care less about the world around them, and it's...sad, really. My brother will stand and hold the door open for people, and they won't say a thing. Not a thank you, not a nothing! So if someone does something nice for you, remember your manners. There are more, but I think you can figure them out yourself. The little things do help you know. If you drew a picture of a forest and only put in trees, that owuld be a rather boring picture. You need details, like animals, flowers, maybe a stream or something, then it would make a beautiful, wonderful picture! The little things can make a big difference. and who knows, if oyu do it around your friends, it might rub off, and then they'd do it, then their friends, and their friends, and so on! It could be a revolution. :)

Something I have noticed
There's this one person in the blogger-sphere that has a TON of little fans. (Okay, not a ton, but you get my point.) This person (to my knowledge) is not a celebrity, and not in the least famous. Just a normal kid. Who happens to say things that are...deep. Like a lot of other people do. Why this person has so many fans is beyond mii. Some of them are almost *whispers* fangirls! I know, kinda weird. This person, I will admit, says some pretty neat things. Not all of them I agree with, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just think it's amusing that these people will go onto this person's blog and be so...starstruck. I find it extremely funny. Hear mii laugh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Okay, so that laugh was totally fake, but it looked good. :P

What do you think?
It was a cold and rainy day outside city hall. A group of three men were standing outside by the steps, each of them playing an instrument. One man was playing a saxafone,one a harmonica, and the last, a tamborine and his own voice. It was an odd combination, but it sounded beautiful.
As the people bustled by, they would occasionally drop a coin or two into the tamborine players hat, which was sitting on the ground at his feet. Everytime, the tamborine player would smile wide and nod his head, his way of saying "Thank you"
At one point, a young man in a fine fur coat hurried by. On his way, he dropped a dime into the hat on the ground. Everyone knew that man was going to inherit an enormous fortune from his father, and he already had a large home. He was always dressed in the finest clothes, and didn't even try to hide the fact that his pockets were full to the brim with money. The tamborine player smiled wide and nodded his head, like he always did, but the young man took no notice.
About twenty minutes later, an old woman came by. She had a thin shawl drapped over her shoulders and a cane that she leaned on heavily. She stopped and listened to the sweet music coming from the three men. Everyone knew that this woman was the poorest person in town. She had barely any money, and was struggling now to keep her home. After she had listened to the men for a few minutes, she dropped a dime into the hat on the ground then turn to go home. The tamborine player smiled wide and nodded his head. The old woman looked at him and mouthed the words, "You're welcome" then hobbled down the street.
So, who gave more, the man, or the woman?

A little tid-bit of info on Mii
Okay, here it is. I've been having stomach pain for about 8 months now, pretty much any time I eat ANYTHING. So, I've gone to the doctors a bunch of times, had my blood drawn more than I've talked to the doctors, I've had an ultrasound, X-rays, a biopsy, and we've racked up quite a few miles on the car for doctor visits out of town. Now, 8 months is a pretty long time to be in pain, dontcha think? And sometimes the pain will vary from not really bad, to it feels like I'm being stabbed by a knife. Just a few days ago, I had to go to another doctor's appointment. The doctor basically said to me that there wasn't much else they could do, and I must say, I was pretty close to tears. (But you would be to if someone was basically saying "You're gonna be in pain for the rest of your life, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry.") But, after we left, the doctor spoke with another one and they thought about another test that they could do. I think it's something along the lines of getting hooked up to an IV that puts some radio-active stuff into your body for two hours and the doctors watch what happens with it. I would like to tell you all that I'm not taking this badly. I have NO CLUE as to what this is, and the doctors are running out of ideas too. But I've been pretty good about it. In fact, one of my favorite jokes to say about this is "I can be on one of those commercials! Lose weight and feel absolutely terrible! Who needs NutriSystem when you can have a stomach ache?" But, there are other things we're gonna do, and dad keeps telling me that we won't give up until we figure out what's wrong with me.
