My Thoughts:Teen Titans Go!
Just to be honest, I never watched the original Teen Titans show. But one day I was REALLY bored, so I decided to turn on Teen Titans Go! Let me say, it's a pretty good show. It's not the best show on Cartoon Network but it's certainly not the worst either. The plots are interesting and the characters are really funny. My favorite characters are Beast Boy and Raven personally. It's not a show that I would go out of my way to watch, but I would still turn it on if there's nothing else on. But Clarence is still 100 times better!

Piggie Pie
You may be asking yourself "Who the heck is Piggie Pie?" "Does he or she have some relation to Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony". If you just thought that, you're probably a brony, but still, Piggie Pie is a play that me and some friends put on at a local theater. My teacher is Annie Fitzpatrick who may not recognize from the name, but played Victoria Justice's mom in the Nickelodeon movie, Fun Size. Now you know who she is, don't ya? Anyway, the play was about three witches that are looking for pigs to make a dish called Piggie Pie out of. The witches go to a farm and find seven pigs. The pigs then disguise themselves as ducks, cows, and chickens so the witches can't catch them. The witches then meet a wolf, who they decide to eat instead of the pigs. You may be thinking, wow, Matt has really lost it. But, I'm serious, this is an actual, real play. It is based off of a children's book, to be quite honest, but we added some originality to the dialogue. I played a goblin, a pig, and none other than Mr. Wolf himself. Yes, I know, my character got eaten at the end, but have you ever heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolves always die in the end. But still, it was a VERY fun play. Me and my friend, Nathan actually came up with goblins by ourselves. The teacher asked to play some sort of "mystical creature" and since we don't want to be unicorns or fairies or something girly like that, we both picked the manliest creature in all of fairy land, goblins. When I was the goblin I even referenced Guardians of the Galaxy by saying "I am Groot!". It was loads of fun and I can't wait until next Summer.
Matt's Thoughts:Holidays
You know what, I was thinking earlier about holidays. First off, I'd like to say that it's seems like you start seeing Halloween stuff as early as July. Then when Halloween is over everybody goes straight to Christmas. I'm no Scrooge, but isn't September a little early to see Santa's face everywhere. Christmas is REALLY about Jesus. So now, I'm going to list my favorite holidays and talk about why I like them:
1. Christmas:Christmas is a VERY important day because it is the day that our Savior Jesus Christ was born. The main reason I love Christmas is so much is the truth. The true meaning that a baby was born in a manger. But I also like Christmas because I get to be with my family. Every Christmas, we go to my Aunt and Uncle's house and have a party. We eat good food, open presents, and play Smash Bros. Trust me, I have the coolest Aunt and Uncle in the world. Let me put it this way, my uncle can do a HILARIOUS impression of practically every Family Guy character and if you don't think that's cool, my Aunt can do both Lois and Conseula in a really funny way. But anyway, another reason I like Christmas is, you might not know this, but I'm sucker for eggnog. Eggnog is my favorite holiday-theme drink in the world and I love it, especially in the form of those mouthwatering shakes from UDF. Did I just get you hungry? I'm sorry! Another REALLY cool thing about Christmas is the TV specials. From classics like Rudolph and Frosty to modern ones like Jeff Dunham and The Simpsons. There are plenty of Christmas specials to choose from, but my favorite however, is The Grinch.
2:Easter:Easter is another very important day because it is the day that Jesus rose from the dead after dying on the cross for our sins. That is what makes it very special to me. Every Easter, me and my grandparents go to Church and have a nice time. After Church, Mom and Dad usually have a delicious Easter meal planned for us with ham, deviled eggs, and baked beans. Are you STILL hungry? Okay, I'll stop.
3:Halloween - Halloween is a day about ghosts, goblins, monsters, witches, spiders, and other things that go bump in the night. I enjoy making a Halloween special every year on my YouTube channel. My Halloween specials are both scary and funny, sometimes just funny. But that is the way I roll! Halloween is cool because I enjoy dressing up. From Luke Skywalker to Mario to Captain Underpants, I've been a lot of really funny characters on Halloween night. My first Halloween costume when I was 2-years-old, I was Ernie from Sesame Street. I had the whole Ernie costume with everything but a rubber ducky. I could go on all day talking about costumes, but instead I'm going to talk more about how cool Halloween is. When I was little, I remember going to the Cincinnati Zoo and doing a fun little activity called Hallzooween. Every year they would have candy stations, awesome decorations, and other cool Halloween things. I don't go anymore because I'm too old and I don't want it to be like that one episode of the Cleveland Show. If your familiar with Seth McFarlane, you know the one I'm talking about.
4:Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving is a day about being with your family and thanking God. That is what it is about in my opinion. Every year we have a huge meal and invite the whole family. Because just like Peter Griffin, I'm a Family Guy! Did that joke take you a second? Probably not. Anyway, another thing I like about Thanksgiving is the parade. I enjoy seeing all of the character floats from Kermit to SpongeBob to Pikachu. It's a very exciting experience and then Santa comes a long and I yell at the screen "GO BACK TO YOUR OWN HOLIDAY, SANTA!" just kidding.
5:The 4th of July - The 4th of July is about the birth of America. In other words, it's a day to sit down and watch Drunk History and American Dad. What am I annoying with the McFarlane references? I'll stop. But another thing I really like about The 4th of July is going downtown and seeing a firework show with my parents. Watching fireworks and listening to some Kid Rock on a beautiful Summer night, it doesn't get much better than that.
6:New Year's Eve - New Year's is to celebrate the year that has passed:or in most recent memory, 2014. I enjoy New Year's because I get to sit with my mom and dad and watch the ball drop. I'm not making any juvenile jokes this time, even though it is hard not to!
7:Every other holiday - The holidays mentioned above are my favorites. But now we're getting into the holidays I could care less about. A few examples I can think of are Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and I'm not sure if it even counts, but April Fool's Day. Sure it's fun to call Moe's bar and ask for Seymoure Butts, but do we really need a WHOLE holiday based off of it? You might as well have national Rick Roll day in which you spend the whole day listening to Rick Astley music. Also, Rick Astley and I apparently share the same birthday, :O.
That's all I've got today. See 'ya soon on the Matt show!
