The River:  

   Today, it being 85 degrees Fahrenheit, my family and I went to a river down  the road from our house. It's always fun to swim in the river, 'cause it's hard to keep a pool as clear as it is. Anyway, about halfway through our afternoon, I went over to where water collected in the huge rock that is the "beach" and looked around. the water is very dirty in that spot, 'cause it doesn't get any circulation.

   I was looking around, and spotted what was either a baby turtle or a leaf. I went over and pulled on what was either it's tail or the leaf stem, and it turned out to be the former. Excited, I brought it over to show the rest of my family. Before I revealed it to them, the following conversation took place:

Me: "Guess what I got. (I don't use very good grammar in everyday life)"

Dad: "A frog?"

Me: "No, a turtle!"

Dad: "Maybe it's a snapper."

I opened my hands, and sure enough, it was a snapper! It took my Dad a little while to convince me, but it was! After everybody had seen it, I returned it to it place in the pone of scum.

Othello:

   I just read the play Othello by Shakespeare in mondernized English. I love Shakespeare, and likewise I liked this book. I enjoyed how he makes the evil ones so evil you just love to hate them!

Game Programing:

   My carrer is going to (soon, I hope) be game programing. I have found a good game engine (Torque) and a good 3D modeler. I also have my eye on two books, 3D Game Programing All-In-One and Advanced 3D Game Programing All-In-One, both by Finny.

   Do the readers of this blog think that it's wrong to program or play violent (blood, etc.) computer games?    

Cheers,
