Today I am counting down the top 7 of the best animated shows from the 2000s to nowadays. Please note that this list has both kid shows and adult cartoons on it.
#7:The Cleveland Show - I know I'm the minority, but I like this show better than Family Guy. It has much funnier writing, better characters, and fewer cutaways (which is always a good thing). I like a lot of the show's characters especially Cleveland, Cleveland Junior, Rallo, Lester, and Tim the Bear. But I think that the writing is what really makes this show superior to Family Guy, it doesn't rely as much on making fun of pop culture or even the annoying bathroom jokes that Family Guy does on a regular basis. I truly think this may be the best Seth MacFarlane show he's produced yet.
#6:Happy Tree Friends - I know a lot of people don't like this show, but I personally find it to be quite funny. The show revolves around cute cuddly animals with all kinds of graphic violence. A particular example I can think of is where Toothy the beaver gets his eyeball stuck under a lollipop. The show is very creative and I enjoy the characters and plots even more than the graphic violence. My favorite character on the show is Nutty, the little squirrel with candy attached to him and my second favorite is probably Flaky, the little shy porcupine who can sometimes be very funny through her actions since the characters rarely speak.
#5:Phineas and Ferb - This show was one of the better Disney Channel animated shows. In the late 2000s, Disney Channel had nothing but tween sitcoms with annoying canned laughter at the time. I found it ridiculous because Walt Disney was an animator and would not approve of the lack of cartoons on the channel named after him, but then Phineas and Ferb came along:a creative and original show about two boys who create inventions along with their secret agent pet platypus. I have never seen a platypus on a cartoon before and found that to be very original as well plus the characters especially Doofenshmirtz, Phineas, Candace, and Baljeet were all hilarious in their own way as well, I recommend this show to people who like strange but creative adventure shows.
#4:Gravity Falls - Disney Channel, you have outdone yourselves again! Gravity Falls was a show about two twins named Dipper and Mabel who go to their great uncle Stan's house for the summer and all kinds of crazy things happen. This show dealt with all kinds of unknown paranormal things from gnomes to Bigfoot to minotaurs to time travel, this show had it all. I felt that the plot was the best part of this show as I like series with plots that twist and turn. I feel as if not enough kid shows have that ongoing plot to it and the humor was really witty and creative as well, it reminded me of the humor on The Simpsons in some ways. All in all, Gravity Falls was one of the best examples of how great this current era of cartoons is and I still miss it.
#3:Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends - Speaking of creative shows with great humor and original characters, let me take you to the wild world of Foster's. This show was about a boy named Mac who took his imaginary friend Bloo to a foster home for imaginary friends when his Mom thinks he's too old to have an imaginary friends. While I did like the show's core cast, I thought the characters that added later on specifically Goo, Cheese, and Jackie Khones were some of the best ones. Goo was one of the most imaginative kids in town but her problem was, when she started imagining, things she can't stop and since they live in a world where imaginary friends are real, this made this even more complicated and also made one of my favorite episodes what it was. I really liked Foster's and will still watch it to this day if their playing reruns.
#2:MAD - If your looking for a show with a plot with twists and turns, look elsewhere. MAD had no plot or main characters and was just a bunch of random animated pop culture parodies. A lot of people compared this show to Robot Chicken during it's original run, and while I do see the resemblance, I never really associated it with that. MAD was based off of Mad Magazine and had a lot of similarities and injokes for people who are fans of the magazine itself. It deserved to be called MAD way more than Mad TV because it actually felt like the magazine coming to life on the screen, Mad TV was just a Saturday Night Live-type show with occasional Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin references. But MAD had a Spy vs. Spy in every single episode and considering I like the magazine, that really made me like the show even more, but the best part about MAD in my opinion, was the parodies. While they were very topical (just like the magazine) and may not hold up years later, they were still very funny and witty. Sure some of it was gross and weird, but it's MAD, what do you expect? This show was a very entertaining show that would keep the ever-so-happy Alfred E. Neuman smiling proudly.
#1:Bob's Burgers - Wow, I have never seen a cartoon as good as Bob's Burgers. It has all the qualities of a great show:it has good writing, the characters are awesome, the music is good and funny, the pop culture references don't feel dated, the animation is top notch, and the voice acting is perfect. I love all the characters on this show, there's seriously not one that I don't like. Even the background characters are really good take Zeke for example, Zeke is a boy who goes to the Belcher's school and is rarely ever shown, but when he is, he is very funny. Every episode of this show is wonderfully writing, well thought out, and has great voice acting talent, to be honest, there's not one episode I don't like. But just a little a warning before you watch it:this show is not for kids. It may not be offensive like Family Guy and South Park, but it is edgy and I wouldn't recommend show it to a 3rd or 4th Grader as it may teach them words and other things that their not supposed to know in the first place.
Well, that wraps up today's blog. See ya soon, :D.

Mattucation:The Simpsons's Influence on Family Guy
The famous cartoon Family Guy was heavily influenced by The Simpsons. The Simpsons is a show about a family of people living in the fictional town of Springfield who go on all kinds of wacky misadventures. Family Guy is a somewhat similar show about a family living in Quahog, Rhode Island with an evil genius baby and talking dog. Parody artists have frequently referred to Family Guy as a Simpsons ripoff. The show's creator, Seth MacFarlane even adressed this in an interview by saying,
"The Simpsons made me want to go from working with Disney to wanting to make edgy cartoons. So without The Simpsons there would be no Family Guy,".
Seth has also referred to Peter Griffin (the dad on Family Guy) to be greatly inspired by Homer Simpson referring to how they are both dumb, overweight, lazy dad characters who drink beer a lot and don't pay attention to their kids. When Seth won an Emmy he adressed The Simpsons in his speech and jokingly compared it to Family Guy. Another thing that came from The Simpsons that Family Guy is well known for is the catchphrases. Similar to Homer's world famous "d'oh" many of the main characters have catchphrases. For example, Peter has "Freaking sweet!", Quagmire has "Giggity giggity goo," and Joe has "Bring it on!". The Simpsons also influenced Family Guy's frequent cutaway vignettes that parody American culture. Back in the early days of The Simpsons they had that cutaway formula down and would use it in practically every episode. Seth thought it was hilarious and decided to include those type of jokes in his show.

My Stories:World of Warcat
Rose the cat is my own fanmade Happy Tree Friends character.
There was a town called Zootropolis, the town was filled with talking animals that acted like humans. In that town, there lived a little 14-year-old cat named Rose. Rose was a little cat with orange fur and bow in her hair. She had a bad habit of brushing her fur and always carried a hairbrush with her. She also had an annoying little sister named Kaylee who would frequenty play pranks on her. Rose had a lot of friends because of her YouTube channel, Robot Turkey where she posted hilarious (but often inappropriate) videos. It was quite the intrepid channel as she would make fun of things that most channels would be afraid to. For example, she posted a video making fun of her teacher once that got her expelled. Anyway, one bright Sunday morning, Rose checked her YouTube channel to find out she got suspended from the website. She looked at her comments and saw that DC Comics filed a copyright complaint on her for using the Harley Quinn trailer. They even left a comment showing much bravado about it.
"Jeez, what a bunch of braggadocios," Rose said and then she realized that since her YouTube channel was down she had nothing to do for the rest of the day. So she did what every other copyright vitcim does and watched other people's videos. She clicked on the latest video from Happy Tree Friends (her favorite Internet show) when Rose saw an ad for a video game titled DragonStone:Revenge of the Lich King. The ad showed a picture of a female knight in shining armor cutting a dragon's head off.
"Slay the mighty Jabberwock and conquer the realms of Adara," the writing at the bottom of the ad said. Intrigued by this, Rose clicked on the ad and was sent to a website. She was sent to a page with a video of a CGI dwarf-like man on in it.
"Do you have the fortitude to defend the five realms of the universe," the dwarven man said.
"Are you kidding I have tons of moxie," Rose yelled at her screen and clicked "Next". After that, she saw a screen with a picture of a hero. The hero can be chosen from seven different races:Human, Elf, Ogre, Dwarf, Gnelfling, Fairy,0 and Troll. Rose made her character a beautiful elven female warrior with a light golden sword and was transported to the most beautiful forest town she'd ever seen on her computer screen.
"This game might give me something to help me recover from losing my YouTube channel. Maybe I should invite my friends and have a funeral for my channel," Rose thought. Rose the elf then saw a bunch of horrible creature called Zombie Pixies pop up and she fought all them off. Then all of a sudden another player by the name of The Ferocious Black Knight walked up to her.
"Huh, interesting name," Rose thought and the Black Knight told her that he was the most feared being in all the realms. Rose questioned his chutzpah and then the Black Knight laughed at her and said he is the main villain in the game. The Black Knight then distracted Rose and stole her stuff. Rose lost 12 experience points, 15 gold, and her sword but she didn't die. The Black Knight then said to her
"Look behind you," and she saw her sister, Kaylee sitting on the couch with a laptop waving at her.
"Your the Black Knight, Kaylee?" Rose asked.
"Yes, it's because kids make fun of me at school and this is the only world where I can be cool,' Kaylee said.
"You milquetoast, why don't you stop being the villain in the game and starting being a good guy. Bad guys aren't cool, you know!?" Rose said and rolled her eyes.
"Fine, I'll take off my armor," Kaylee said and when she took off her armor, she was the ugliest troll creature in the game.
"Ha! Your a troll!" Rose said.
"I know, I'm ugly, but I thought he was cool looking at the game. That's why I wore armor so people don't think I'm ugly,".
"Come on Kaylee, I know what'll cheer you up, let's adventure together!" Rose said.
"Heck yeah!" Kaylee screamed and they ventured into the words together. Fighting all kinds of creatures from craven ravens to pusillanimous kobolds with the Courtship of Eddie Father's theme song playing on loop in the background.
"You know what Kaylee,"
"What?" Kaylee asked.
"You are my best friend," Rose said.
"You're mine too. Now let's come up with a name of our team," Kaylee said.
"I know what about Beauty and the Geek," Rose said.
"Hey are you calling me a geek? Just kidding, that's funny!" Kaylee told Rose and they played and played until it was dinner time.

Spot's Adventure
This is a sequel to my Rooster story from my cat Spot's perspective. Enjoy, :D!
Hi my name is Spot. I am a very pretty fluffy calico cat with a long tail and green eyes who lives with my family. I love my family especially my owner Matt although he does have a serious flaw, he is a dog lover. Ugh! Now I am going to tell the terrifying tale of the day I met his petulant dog, Rooster:
I had a very happy life on this farm. Matt would constantly feed me, pet me, and hang out with me. My little brother Buckshot and I had it all, well except for a ball of yarn to play with, but you get the idea. The one thing that bugged me was their two stupid dogs. There was this big dumb brown dog who used to live with us. The thing was so dumb she didn't even know how to grow a tail. She was a nuisance to me. I frequently had nightmares about when she would put me in her mouth when I was kitten, yup, that's right, she would play with me inside her mouth. It was SO gross getting wet all the time! There was also a little beagle named Scooter or something. She was constantly running rabbits so I didn''t see her near as much, which is probably a good thing because everybody knows that cats are better than dogs! We are purrfect animals. These dogs didn't castigate or should I say catstigate me very often and were for the most respectful of my kind, even though I didn't like them, because their dogs. Anyway, one day, my family left to go on a drive in the car (like they do a lot of times) and I did what I always do when that happens, sat on the bench and waited for them to come home. As I sat and waited, I snacked on a bowl of toothsome cat food because trust me, there is no food in the world better than plain old dry catfood. I sat there eating and thinking about how much I love Matt but when he got back home, you would never believe, the scary monster he was holding in his hands. When I saw my family's car headed towards the driveway, my fluffy tail wagged, and I started purring. I went up to Matt to visit him and felt this sense of malaise as my little kitty nose could smell something but I wasn't sure exactly what it was. Matt came out of the car holding the most insidious beast I'd seen in my life. It was a little red beagle puppy with a long tail, hideous green eyes, and a face that looked nightmarish.
"Ummm, Matt, that creature is kind of freaking meowt," I said to him but all he could he hear was the sound of me meowing. The dog then chased me into the family's barn and I ran as fast as I could practically stumbling over my long tail. I climbed up to the tippy top and hid there for the night. Thinking about ways to scare that creature into not bullying me. I knew that my new archnemesis had arrived.

Rooster's Adventure
This is about the life of my dog, Rooster through his eyes.
My name is Rooster Doyle Boo, I am a 4-year-old beagle who lives on the farm of a wonderful family. I am a red and white colored beagle with spots on my legs and stomach, green eyes, long floppy ears, a white stripe on my head, and a tail that's constantly wagging. I love to eat, sleep, take walks, take drives in the car with my family, and run around outside, Here is the story of the day I was first introduced to the nice little farm I live on:
I used to live on a beautiful home in the country. The place looked wonderful with green trees and blue sky as far as I could see. I lived with my mom, my little brother, Gizmo my sister, Tina and a procrustean deer named Sweetpea. Sweetpea was a huge doe with dark brown eyes, a little black nose, and an annoying personality. She would always tell me what to do and try to boss me around, she acted as if she owned the farm which made me want to leave a little bit, even though I would miss my family. I don't remember my others siblings at all because they were adopted when they were puppies. But my brother Gizmo was one of the cutest little dogs I'd ever seen. He was a little brown beagle with long floppy ears, white spots all over him, and the cutest little bark. I last saw him when he was about ten weeks old, and his bark soundest adorable almost the sound of a mouse squeaking. Tina on the other hand was kind of rude and obnoxious. She would pick on me because I had green eyes a lot which my mom would frequently scold her about and Tina's actions kind of bothered me a little. But what I did love about my old home was my original owner, Lia. Lia was a tall blonde girl with brown eyes, light skin, a passion for fashion, a good sense of humor, and a bubbly personality. She has a YouTube channel in which she plays the mountebank character Terry the Tomboy, who sells factitious humorous products. One beautiful Summer day I was sitting in Lia's lap on the porch when I heard a car pull up at our driveway. My natural dog urges made my tail wag and I rushed with excitement to see who it is. I ran through the front yard barking as loud as I could almost as if I was saying,
"HEY! WHO ARE YOU?" when I saw a little redhaired boy with blue eyes and incredibly light skin wearing an I Love Dogs t-shirt. The boy was about 14 at the time and he was standing there with his mom and dad talking to them. The dad had a beard, long brown hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a shirt that said "Colts" on it. I didn't know what that meant, but the shirt sure did look cool. The mom was a redhaired woman wearing glasses and blue jeans. The boy looked over, saw me, and said
"Awh your SO cute!" and started petting me. Then Sweetpea walked up to him and he ran straight to her.
"Man, I hope he doesn't like that silly deer more than me," I thought to myself so I brainstormed ways to impress him. I sat there thinking for a few seconds until I turned over and saw a walnut lying on the ground next to me which gave me a great idea. I picked up the walnut, ran to the boy, and dropped it at his feet.
"I have a walnut. I'm SO cute aren't I?" I said to him using my special dog style of sophistry but all they could hear was the sound of me making adorable little barks which if anything only helped me look cuter. I was wondering why this family just suddenly showed up and was looking around my yard so I followed them around. As I followed them, I saw Gizmo who was sitting there next to the redhaired woman with his tail wagging a mile a minute.
"So this is a let's impress the humans contest isn't it. That's pretty darn cute, but I can do better," I thought to myself. So I ran up to Gizmo and looked at this strange woman making the cutest little puppy dogs I could.
"Take that, Gizmo!" I said to him.
"Awh, he's SO cute. We'll take that one," the woman said to Lia.
"Take me? What is she talking about?" I thought when all of a sudden, the woman picked me up and walked me around the yard. I got very nervous as I didn't know what was going to happen next. I kicked, screamed, and yelled
"HELP!" at the top of my lungs. Then she put me in her car and sat me in the backseat next to her son. I know I kind of wanted to leave home because of Sweetpea and Tina, but I immediately regretted that specious decision. The woman drove away from my home and I felt sadder and sadder the further we got. I started crying almost instantly as I would miss Lia and my dog family. I saw the boy sitting next to me and asked him with tears in my eyes,
"Are you my new Daddy?"
"My name is Matt and I'm going to take you home and love on you," he said almost as if he could sense exactly what I was saying. I already knew that I was going to adore my new home, so I started kissing Matt on his hand with my little puppy tongue. After that, I jumped in his lap and he petted me which made me feel better. I've always loved the feeling of being petted, it calms me down when I'm uptight and cures my sadness when I'm feeling down. Matt kept on petting me and petting me which made more and more relaxed by the minute, it got to the point where I was so relaxed that after while, I rolled over on my belly and fell asleep in his lap. I woke up on a beautiful new farm and saw another beagle that looked kind like of my mom. She was a little brown, white, and black beagle who always loved to chase rabbits. Since I was just a little puppy, I went up to her and asked the silly question of,
'Are you my mommy?" and tried to drink from her. She said,
"No I'm not your Mom. My name is Scout and if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go run a rabbit, see you in a few weeks," and ran off.
"Wow, that was kinda rude," I thought to myself. As Scout was running off, a large dog with brown fur and no tail walked up to me. I had never seen a dog without no tail before. Gizmo told me apocryphal legends about a tribe of no-tailed dogs who lived in the woods and are cannibilistic so I was a little timid when I first went up to her.
"My name is Shawnee, what are you doing?" she asked me.
"S-sorry, am I t-trespassing?" I asked her.
"You don't look too tough," Shawnee said so I growled at her trying to act tough and she just laughed even though I wasn't trying to be funny.
"You've got a lot to learn around here, kid. Stick with me and I'll teach you everything you need to know," Shawnee told me.
"Just remember these two things and you'll be fine:I'm the boss and this is my farm," she said and I sat down next to her, rubbing against her. Despite her bossy actions, I loved her already.
"I finally have a mentor," I thought.

I said to him using my special dog style of sophistry but all they could hear was the sound of me making adorable little barks which if anything only helped me look cuter. I was wondering why this family just suddenly showed up and was looking around my yard so I followed them around. As I followed them, I saw Gizmo who was sitting there next to the redhaired woman with his tail wagging a mile a minute.
"So this is a let's impress the humans contest isn't it. That's pretty darn cute, but I can do better," I thought to myself. So I ran up to Gizmo and looked at this strange woman making the cutest little puppy dogs I could.
"Take that, Gizmo!" I said to him.
"Awh, he's SO cute. We'll take that one," the woman said to Lia.
"Take me? What is she talking about?" I thought when all of a sudden, the woman picked me up and walked me around the yard. I got very nervous as I didn't know what was going to happen next. I kicked, screamed, and yelled
"HELP!" at the top of my lungs. Then she put me in her car and sat me in the backseat next to her son. I know I kind of wanted to leave home because of Sweetpea and Tina, but I immediately regretted that specious decision. The woman drove away from my home and I felt sadder and sadder the further we got. I started crying almost instantly as I would miss Lia and my dog family. I saw the boy sitting next to me and asked him with tears in my eyes,
"Are you my new Daddy?"
"My name is Matt and I'm going to take you home and love on you," he said almost as if he could sense exactly what I was saying. I already knew that I was going to adore my new home, so I started kissing Matt on his hand with my little puppy tongue. After that, I jumped in his lap and he petted me which made me feel better. I've always loved the feeling of being petted, it calms me down when I'm uptight and cures my sadness when I'm feeling down. Matt kept on petting me and petting me which made more and more relaxed by the minute, it got to the point where I was so relaxed that after while, I rolled over on my belly and fell asleep in his lap. I woke up on a beautiful new farm and saw another beagle that looked kind like of my mom. She was a little brown, white, and black beagle who always loved to chase rabbits. Since I was just a little puppy, I went up to her and asked the silly question of,
'Are you my mommy?" and tried to drink from her. She said,
"No I'm not your Mom. My name is Scout and if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go run a rabbit, see you in a few weeks," and ran off.
"Wow, that was kinda rude," I thought to myself. As Scout was running off, a large dog with brown fur and no tail walked up to me. I had never seen a dog without no tail before. Gizmo told me apocryphal legends about a tribe of no-tailed dogs who lived in the woods and are cannibilistic so I was a little timid when I first went up to her.
"My name is Shawnee, what are you doing?" she asked me.
"S-sorry, am I t-trespassing?" I asked her.
"You don't look too tough," Shawnee said so I growled at her trying to act tough and she just laughed even though I wasn't trying to be funny.
"You've got a lot to learn around here, kid. Stick with me and I'll teach you everything you need to know," Shawnee told me.
"Just remember these two things and you'll be fine:I'm the boss and this is my farm," she said and I sat down next to her, rubbing against her. Despite her bossy actions, I loved her already.
"I finally have a mentor," I thought.
My Stories:The Wrath of Con
Yes, the title came from a Happy Tree Friends episode, I'm a copycat, it's just one of my favorite HTF episodes due to all the nerd references.
In the mid-90s, there was an 8-year-old boy named Jimmy Davis who lived in Cincinatti. Jimmy loved to draw his own cat comics. He and his cabal of friends have always loved both cats and cartoons and they combined both their interests in the form of their own comic book series:Garfunkle. Garfunkle is a gray cat who doesn't do much, he likes to eat spaghetti and sleep. That's pretty much it. The stories are often a hilarious concatenation of events that oftentimes end in a punchline from Garfunkle himself. Garfunkle also has an owner named Jack and his enemy is a dog named Opie. Jimmy created these comics when he was only 5 years old and became a local celebrity because of them. One day, he walking home from school and a saw a sign advertizing this new thing heading towards his town called Comic-Con. It was going to be a convention showcasing the best comics of every genre from superhero to comedy to horror. The sign also said that creator of Spider-Man (who was also Jimmy's main inspiration), Stan Lee would be there. Jimmy was SO excited as he could possibly pitch his to idea Stan Lee. Stan Lee and the actor who played Spider-Man got into a serious schism at the time and Jimmy thought that he would make Stan laugh which would make him feel better. He looked closely at the sign and saw that the event would be that exact night at the convention center right to his house, he was super happy! Jimmy then rushed to his treehouse and packed two of the most hilarious Garfunkle comics he had written but little did he know that one of them had a serious lacuna in which there was no dialogue from any character. The comic was unfinished! Jimmy ran as he fast as he could practically zooming to the convention center and as soon as he got there there was an incredibly long line.
"Huh, it must be a diaspora of a rare tribe of people called nerds," Jimmy jokingly said practicing his comedy for when he would tell jokes in front of his idol. Jimmy stood in the line for what seemed like hours even though it only took 5 minutes, but to an incredibly excited 8 year old it seemed way longer than it was. As soon as Jimmy got to the front of the line he was greeted by a big tall muscular man wearing glasses with a Jack Skellington tattoo.
"Ticket, please," the man said.
"I'm sorry, I-I don't have a ticket," Jimmy told the man.
"No ticket, no entry!" he said. Jimmy then said
"Your shoes are untied," and the man looked at his foot and as soon as he looked down, Jimmy zoomed into the convention center.
"Dangit, I got schooled again!" the security guard said. Jimmy then looked around with so much alacricity but didn't see Stan Lee anywhere all he saw were people dressed like famous comic book characters. After that he started getting pretty hungry which was lucky for him as he was right next to the cafeteria. Jimmy looked over and saw his favorite burger joint, Dairy King had a station. He also noticed that the line wasn't long at all, in fact, he was only one there. Just to make sure he could get a sandwich in time before the long gets long, he ordered a burger and sat down in the cafeteria. As he was eating, a man said
"You like Dairy King too, huh?". The boy looked over his shoulder and saw a mustachoied man wearing dark sunglasses with light brown hair. It was Stan Lee!
"Oh my gosh, it's Stan Lee!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What's your name?" Stan asked him.
"I'm Jimmy Davis!" the boy said with so much excitement. He then handed Stan Lee the comics and Stan started laughing really hard.
"Wow, I laughed harder than I have in days reading that!" Stan Lee said.
Stan then pointed out that one of the comics was unfinished which embarassing Jimmy a little.
"How would you like it if I helped you finish it?" Stan asked him.
"Boy would I!" Jimmy said with excitement. Jimmy and Stan spent the whole night making a hilarious Garfunkle comic together. Stan did the drawing and Jimmy did the writing. Years later when Jimmy was in his late teens, Garfunkle picked up and became one of the famous American comic series of all time next to Charlie Schulz's Walnuts. It even got two TV shows, numerous specials, and tons of merchandise. He created most famous indolent cartoon cat of all time!

My Stories:Git R Down
This story is fictional even though it could have happened in real life.
I was practicing my use of vocabulary words when I wrote this story.
One day, my friend Jaime came up to my house and said,
"I have great news! The Blue Collar Comedy tour will be doing a show in Vevay," she said.
"No way, are you serious?" I asked her.
"Yes, they are. We need to go as this will NOT be broadcast on TV or the Internet. Jeff Foxworthy is quite the luddite when it comes to technology," she said. So we got dressed up in dishabile clothes (similar to what Larry the Cable Guy wears), packed the best snacks we had, and got ready. I sat up front with her and we were making music jokes like we do for fun in the car.
"Did you know that Kid Rock beats both paper and scissors?" I asked her.
"That was pretty puerile," Jaime said.
"Yeah, like your jokes any better," I told her. After that, she asked me if I had read the most recent book in the Percy Jackson series.
"Yes, I found it to be quite insipid. That Luke kid is such a quizling, bertraying Percy and stealing the gold as if he was some of greenhorn," I said.
"I didn't like it either, the message was so didactic as well," Jaime said. We talked about all the rest of the books in the series and how much better they were until finally we arrived at the park where we saw Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Bill Engvall standing on stage. They performed all their really funny jokes from classics like "you might be a redneck if..." to newer material I'd never heard before. Jaime and I were sitting there laughing. But then Larry the Cable guy said,
"Who would like to come up and be my assistant for this next joke. Any volunteers?". I raised my hand almost instantly. Larry pointed to me and said,
"Come on up here,". I was so starstruck.
"I'm actually going to be doing a sketch with Larry the Cable Guy. I hope I'm not being hornswaggled," I nervously thought to myself. I got on stage feeling so incredible happy. Larry and I went backstage and discussed want he wants me to do.
"I will whistle when it's time for you to come on stage. When it's time, I want you to come out and start dancing. Do the most crazy dance you can think of," Larry whispered to me. I nodded in my head as I was too excited to talk. I could hear Jeff doing his redneck routine and everyone was laughing. I was sitting in the chair listening to the noisome laughter when all of a sudden, Larry whistled. After that, I could hear music playing. I came out on stage and started doing the most hilarious factitious dance I could think of, everyone in the audience started cheering. I could even hear a little boy say,
"Go dancing redhead kid!". I chuckled at the boy's cute little malapropism. After dancing, I sat back down and enjoyed rest of the show, feeling proud at what I had just done.
"That was SO funny!" Jaime said.
"You know what I say, git R down, on the dance floor that is," I told Jaime and we both started laughing.

My Stories:Phineas and Bart
Enjoy this The Simpsons meets Phineas and Ferb crossover, :D.
One day, a fun loving yet mischief 12-year-old boy named Bart Simpson was off from school on a Saturday. Every Saturday morning Bart does the same thing, sitting on the couch eating a bag of potato chips while watching his favorite ultra violent cat and mouse cartoon, Itchy and Scratchy. Bart has always been the quite indolent tweenage boy where doesn't like to do much besides watching TV, browsing the Internet, and playing video games. But when he's not having that torpor state of mind he normally does, Bart likes to get in trouble. He does things like prank calling the local bar, skateboarding on ketchup packets, and eating a lot junk food. As Bart was watching TV his mom, Marge walked up to him.
"Could you please visit our new neighbors? I think their two boys would like a new friend," she said.
"Mom, I'm watching TV, could I have at least five more minutes?" Bart asked Marge.
"No, I'm sick and tired of you slacking off on Saturdays. I want you to visit them right this instant young man!" Marge said and Bart got off the couch and went out the door. He stepped into the beautiful Autumn sunlight and saw his smart yet pertinacious little sister Lisa walking the family dog, Santa's Little Helper.
"What are you doing?" Bart asked Lisa.
"Taking Santa's Little Helper for a walk," Lisa said.
"You want to come see our new neighbors,"
"Sure," Lisa exclaimed with much alacrity and walked Santa's Little Helper over to Bart. After that, they walked up to the new neighbor's doorstep and rang the doorbell. A tall redhaired lady wearing an 80s-looking tshirt answered the door.
"Your Lindana, the most famous singer of the 80s. You sang with that Michael Jackson guy nobody cares about," Bart told the woman.
"Yes, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I was Lindana. Nowadays I'm just Linda. Why don't you come into the house and take a load off," Linda said and Bart walked into the kitchen where he saw a tall skinny man with short brown eye making a pie.
"What are you doing?" Bart asked the man.
"I'm baking a chocolate pie that I think you will love. I'm sure to put every sedulus detail into each toothsome pie I make," the man said in his thick British accent.
"He's a little braggy," Bart whispered to Lisa.
"What's your name?" the British man asked him.
"I'm Bart Simpson. What's your name?"
"I'm Laurence Fletcher,".
"Why don't you go upstairs and meet our two boys Phineas and Ferb, they will be very happy to see you," Laurence said and the two kids went upstairs. As soon as they got up the stairs they saw a sign that said "Phineas and Ferb's room no malfeasance allowed,". Lisa knocked the door and saw a redheaded kid with a triangular shaped head petting a blue furry creature with an orange beak. Santa's Little Helper went up and sniffed the creature.
"What the heck kind of dog is that?" Bart asked the boy.
"He's not a dog, he's our pet platypus, Perry," the boy said.
"Wow, I've never heard of somebody having a pet playpus, how fascinating!" Lisa said. A kid with green hair and big blue eyes wearing overalls walked up to Lisa.
"What are your names?" Lisa asked.
"I'm Phineas and this is Ferb, we are stepbrothers," Phineas said to Bart.
"What do you want to do today, I want to watch Itchy and Scratchy and drink root beer all day on your couch. Sounds like a facile good time,” Bart said.
“We’re not allowed to watch Itchy and Scratchy,” Phineas told Bart.
“Then what do you do for fun around here?” Bart asked Phineas.
“All kinds of stuff, we never run out of ideas as we have imagination,” Phineas told Bart which really opened up Bart’s eyes, he had never thought of having creative fun before and was malcontent about everything besides video games. Bart knew right away that Phineas and Ferb would be his new best friends and decided to ask more questions about their lives.
“Do you have any other siblings?” Bart asked.
“We have a sister named Candace, but she’s in college right now,” Phineas said.
“What is she studying?” Bart asked.
“She wants to be an engineer,” Phineas told Bart and then they heard Linda yell that lunch is ready. Phineas, Ferb, Bart, Lisa, and Santa’s Little Helper rushed down stairs and saw the best looking sandwiches they had ever seen. They had ham, cheese, mustard, and pickles and were sliced into five of littler pieces.
“I call these the Linda Speciality,” Linda told Lisa.
“Wow, I can’t believe Lindana is serving me lunch,” Lisa yelled with excitement.
“Please call me Linda,” she said.
“Okay Linda!” Lisa screamed and the four kids went outside, ate sandwiches, and talked about life. They had a great time!

My Experience With the Fate Series
Today I'm going to talk about my favorite video game series ever, Fate. I'm sure if your a regular reader of my blog, you've at least heard of Fate as I do mention it quite frequently, so now I'm going to go too far into explaining what the game is. But if you want an incredibly depth look at Fate I would recommend reading my previous blogs about the game as information about Fate is scarce on the Internet:
One day when I was 7 years old, I took off school to go to a new dentist. Since I was only 7 and had never gone to this dentist before I was very nervous. The morning before the dentist trip, I was so scared that I went on the computer to look for fun games to get my mind off of it. I had played video games before but most of them were either educational or non-action games. So I went on a console that came with our computer called WildTangent Orb to look at the wide selection of games I'd never quite looked closely at before. They had a big list of games and most of them didn't catch my interest. The one that did however was a game with a simple title yet intriguing description. The game had the basic title of Fate, but what really got me interested was the fact that you could "battle monsters". I've always been interesting in made up creatures from Neopets to Pokemon to Lilo and Stitch experiments so I figured I'd give the game a try. I told Mom about the game and she asked me to check the rating for her. I said it was rated E10+ and considering I was only 7, she wanted to try it to make sure it's not inappropriate. I waited in my room while she played the game nervously hoping it wasn't all bad stuff, when she opened my door. I felt some serious nervousness in my stomach (on top of the already nervous feeling about the dentist) going on.
"The game's fine. I tried it and there's no bad words or anything like that," Mom said. As soon as I turned on the game, I was greeted with a beautiful medieval picture of a boy holding an axe with a cute little puppy (that ironically looked like my dog Scout). I was intrigued already. I named my first character Matt after myself and then found out that you could have a cat for a pet as well. Since I am both a dog lover and a cat lover, I decided to make my first virtual pet a cat and name her Spot after my little kitty. After I designed my hero, I saw a wonderful story about the history of the fictitious town of Grove. I sat back and listened closely to this beautifully written tale of a town being attacked by horrible monsters. Once the story was over something popped on my screen reading,
"There is a monster on Level 50 who's name is spoken in whispers. Slay this beast and become the hero of legend,". After that, I saw the most beautiful cartoon forest town pop up on my computer screen. The first towns person I talked to was the potion salesman, Bartleby. At first, I thought the townspeople were supposed to evil villains so I didn't want to go near them (especially the green goblin looking guy, I just didn't trust him). So I went in the dungeon with no quest and this was where my childhood was changed forever (OK, that's a bit dramatic, but it definitely got me hooked). I saw these weird blob creatures that looked almost like blobs of jelly. They were called gels but I mistakenly read the name wrong. We were currently studying cells in my 2nd Grade Science class, so I thought the creatures were supposed to be red blood cells. The next things I saw were giant rats, huge bats, and voracious spiders. Since I had defeated rats and spiders in a Lilo and Stitch video game years ago, that had me even more interested. I remember looking at Mom as soon as I fought my first rat and making a Tom and Jerry reference.
"I just killed my first mouse, something Tom has never been able to do," I said mistakenly referring to the rat as a mouse. Next I saw these little green troll-like creatures called Imps. They had bright red hair and a horn coming out of their head. I had played the game for a while when Mom said it was time for lunch.
"MOM! 10 MORE MINUTES!" I said.
"But Matt, I've got pizza," Mom told me. Just hearing the word pizza was enough for me to stop playing the game and go straight to lunch, but I promised myself I'd go back to the game afterwards. So I sat down with two big pieces of pizza and watched Spongebob. But I wasn't even paying attention to the TV, I was imagining what other cool creatures I would eventually run into in the game.
"Maybe there will be giant snakes. If so, there going to get chopped up instantly," I thought to myself. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, but I absolutely can't stand snakes. After a short lunch break of thinking of nothing but the game, not even laughing at Spongebob and Patrick like I normally do. I sat down on the computer, got my "serious" face on, and started delving dungeons. That night, I introduced Dad to the game and he watched me play it. We saw a few new creatures together and had a few laughs over just how strange these characters are. A few days later, I realized that this version is nothing but the demo and that a full version with MORE creatures exists somewhere out there. I eventually conquered the demo slaying every beast in the entire version. I also got to know the townsfolk better. Until my 8th Birthday, Mom got me three presents. I only hoped that one would be the full version of Fate and to my surprise, it was! I gave Mom and Dad a huge bear hug saying,
"Thank you SO much for giving me the full version of Fate!". I then installed the game into the computer, imported my old character, and delved even deeper into the depths of the dungeon. Matt and Spot slayed practically every mythical creature in existence from goblins to dragons to ogres to evil unicorns, if it has existed in myth and legend, Matt and his partner in crime Spot had beat the living snot out of it. That Spring, I was on my computer and found a rare creature that was a giant eyeball called a Watcher.
"Where can I get this eye beast?" I asked myself and found out you can download him. I searched all over the Internet and couldn't find him. This went on for weeks and weeks on end until finally one day, I was on the Internet and found a link titled Owlbear.zip. I then put the creature into my game's files and defeated him. He also come with his partner, the mighty Owlbear, the king of all birds. I defeated them both with my mighty dragon sword and Spot meowed with victory. Then one day, Mom and I were going to see the theater to see the movie Wall-E, before we left I checked my WildTangent console and I saw something that made me almost scream with joy. There was a Fate 2! I told Mom and she was SO excited for me. I went to my Aunt Shelley's house that evening and she bought the game for me, I put it on a disc and took it home as our Internet was too slow to download. I conquered the monsters in that game over a few weeks. I felt kinda done as I had seen all there is to see until one day I was browsing the web and found out about something called mods.
"What are mods?" I asked myself and found out that you can add 100s of new creatures to the game. The Watcher wasn't the only one of his kind, just like Stitch, he literally has over 600 cousins. I spent days trying to figure out how to add these "Watcher buddies" and couldn't figure it out, until one day I was at my friend Emerson's house. We were watching cartoons when I saw her copy of the game laying on a desk. She had a different version than me! I asked her if I could borrow it and she said sure as she had lost interest in the game a long time ago. As soon as I got home, I installed the version and put these mods. I went into the game and tested them and oh my goodness, they worked!
"THE MODS ACTUALLY WORKED!" I yelled to Mom with tears of joy in my eyes. That night, we made popcorn and watched the movie Hercules to celebrate my newest achievement. Then I went through a phase where I wanted to collect every single one. I ended up with 100s of them and traded my doubles with kids at school to get rares one like Pokemon cards until eventually I got them all! I had my entire collection of mods on a disc that I still have to this day. Then one day, I was sick in bed with a cold when Mom told me that something came in the mail. I picked up a package and found something I'd never heard before, Fate 3 was in the box.
"I got this for you as a late birthday present," Mom said and as soon as I got over my cold and played the heck out of it. That Fall, I introduced Mom to Fate. She was skeptical at first but it turns out she really liked the series. She played all of 1 and 2 but not 3 as it feels kind of like an expansion for 2. I actually remember feeling a little disappointed when Fate 3 came out as they didn't add enough new content to it, but I liked the game nonetheless and to be honest it became my favorite in the series for some time. Then one day I was hanging out with my babysitter and we were talking about all kinds of different stuff, I told her I was into Fate and she told that me that she used to play it a little herself (the demo only, though). So I looked up pictures of the full version to show her when something really great happened:I read that they were making a Fate 4! As soon as Mom woke up, I told her the news and we were both very excited! We spent months waiting for this sequel. The kids at school got sick of hearing about it as it was practically all I talked about. Some of things were into the series like I was where others played more Minecraft-type games.
One kid even gave me a fake "spoiler" by jokingly saying,
"I got a copy of Fate 4 and at the end of it, you fight Barney the Dinosaur!". I knew right away that that wasn't true. Mom and I spent days frequently checking WildTangent's Facebook page and forum until one day it finally happened:Fate 4 came out! We downloaded the demo that night and a few days later bought the full version from Gamestop. I was 12 when it came out and I played/modded this game well into my teens. When I was 15, I started feeling like cartoons and video games were "kid stuff" but even then I wasn't afraid to play Fate. Fate was one of the few kid games that I wasn't only not embarrassed to play, I was proud to play! Because Fate isn't just for kids, it's not overly kiddie but not overly inappropriate either. It's more of a family game because kids can like it and adult can like it too. I'd recommend it to anybody who likes games like that! In fact, I still play Fate to this day and await the release of new mods frequently. WildTangent, if one of your workers is reading this, PLEASE make a Fate 5! I am your biggest fan (possibly) and would love to see a at least one future sequel, just keep that in mind, :D. Anyway, I'm SO glad that I was able to blog about something that impacted my childhood SO much! See ya next time on the Matt show.
One day when I was 7 years old, I took off school to go to a new dentist. Since I was only 7 and had never gone to this dentist before I was very nervous. The morning before the dentist trip, I was so scared that I went on the computer to look for fun games to get my mind off of it. I had played video games before but most of them were either educational or non-action games. So I went on a console that came with our computer called WildTangent Orb to look at the wide selection of games I'd never quite looked closely at before. They had a big list of games and most of them didn't catch my interest. The one that did however was a game with a simple title yet intriguing description. The game had the basic title of Fate, but what really got me interested was the fact that you could "battle monsters". I've always been interesting in made up creatures from Neopets to Pokemon to Lilo and Stitch experiments so I figured I'd give the game a try. I told Mom about the game and she asked me to check the rating for her. I said it was rated E10+ and considering I was only 7, she wanted to try it to make sure it's not inappropriate. I waited in my room while she played the game nervously hoping it wasn't all bad stuff, when she opened my door. I felt some serious nervousness in my stomach (on top of the already nervous feeling about the dentist) going on.
"The game's fine. I tried it and there's no bad words or anything like that," Mom said. As soon as I turned on the game, I was greeted with a beautiful medieval picture of a boy holding an axe with a cute little puppy (that ironically looked like my dog Scout). I was intrigued already. I named my first character Matt after myself and then found out that you could have a cat for a pet as well. Since I am both a dog lover and a cat lover, I decided to make my first virtual pet a cat and name her Spot after my little kitty. After I designed my hero, I saw a wonderful story about the history of the fictitious town of Grove. I sat back and listened closely to this beautifully written tale of a town being attacked by horrible monsters. Once the story was over something popped on my screen reading,
"There is a monster on Level 50 who's name is spoken in whispers. Slay this beast and become the hero of legend,". After that, I saw the most beautiful cartoon forest town pop up on my computer screen. The first towns person I talked to was the potion salesman, Bartleby. At first, I thought the townspeople were supposed to evil villains so I didn't want to go near them (especially the green goblin looking guy, I just didn't trust him). So I went in the dungeon with no quest and this was where my childhood was changed forever (OK, that's a bit dramatic, but it definitely got me hooked). I saw these weird blob creatures that looked almost like blobs of jelly. They were called gels but I mistakenly read the name wrong. We were currently studying cells in my 2nd Grade Science class, so I thought the creatures were supposed to be red blood cells. The next things I saw were giant rats, huge bats, and voracious spiders. Since I had defeated rats and spiders in a Lilo and Stitch video game years ago, that had me even more interested. I remember looking at Mom as soon as I fought my first rat and making a Tom and Jerry reference.
"I just killed my first mouse, something Tom has never been able to do," I said mistakenly referring to the rat as a mouse. Next I saw these little green troll-like creatures called Imps. They had bright red hair and a horn coming out of their head. I had played the game for a while when Mom said it was time for lunch.
"MOM! 10 MORE MINUTES!" I said.
"But Matt, I've got pizza," Mom told me. Just hearing the word pizza was enough for me to stop playing the game and go straight to lunch, but I promised myself I'd go back to the game afterwards. So I sat down with two big pieces of pizza and watched Spongebob. But I wasn't even paying attention to the TV, I was imagining what other cool creatures I would eventually run into in the game.
"Maybe there will be giant snakes. If so, there going to get chopped up instantly," I thought to myself. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, but I absolutely can't stand snakes. After a short lunch break of thinking of nothing but the game, not even laughing at Spongebob and Patrick like I normally do. I sat down on the computer, got my "serious" face on, and started delving dungeons. That night, I introduced Dad to the game and he watched me play it. We saw a few new creatures together and had a few laughs over just how strange these characters are. A few days later, I realized that this version is nothing but the demo and that a full version with MORE creatures exists somewhere out there.

Ranking the HTF Characters
Today I'm going to review every single Happy Tree Friends. Enjoy, XD!
Cuddles - He is a pretty funny and cute character. I actually have fond childhood memories of Cuddles because he was the one who taught me how to subscribe to channels on YouTube. Check out "YouTube Subscriptions 101" to find out what I'm talking about. He also has a good sense of humor and I ship him and Giggles.
Giggles - Giggles is pretty cool. I like how she cares about the environment, any character who is anti-pollution I automatically like. She actually reminds me of Fluffer Nutter, one of the background characters from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Since Ms. Nutter was one of my favorites, Giggles is pretty cool.
Toothy - I like Toothy. He's funny and cute, but the poor thing gets killed CONSTANTLY! It's almost like the whole "they killed Kenny again," trope from South Park because it seems to me that Toothy never survives. Plus poor little Toothy gets worst of it literally getting his eyeball stuck under a lollipop. That episode gives me the willies, but I still like Toothy.
Petunia - I support any character that has OCD. I've had OCD-ish tendencies every since I was little so she vaguely reminds me of myself. She also is funny and one of the best designed characters (despite being a recolor of Giggles, lol).
Handy - Handy was the first character I remember hearing about. My friend at school was telling me about a "squirrel who fixes things". I think Handy is cool and would totally hire him to fix my house.
Sniffles - Sniffles is one of my fave characters. He's nerdy (like me) and is one of the funnier ones. I feel bad for him whenever the ants torture him though. If I saw those ants, I'd step on them.
Pop - Pop is one of my least favorite characters. When I said I like Pop on a previous blog, I was referring to how much I like Coca Cola. LOL!
Cub - Cub is Pop's son and he looks like Baby Fozzie from Muppet Babies. Wocka, wocka, who wants to hear a funny **** joke! Just kidding!
Flaky - Flaky is my second favorite character. She's funny and I like her voice, it reminds me of a cat (in some ways).
The Mole - The Mole is kind of a boring character if you ask me. I just don't find him all that interesting personally.
Disco Bear - I didn't grow up in the 70s so I can't say I truly appreciate Disco Bear. But he's a still a funny and well written character.
Nutty - My absolute favorite of the main HTF crew. Nutty is funny and we both love our desserts.
Russell - Russel is a pirate who spends all his time downloading movies illegally. That otter should go to jail! I'm joking, he's a different kind of pirate.
Mime - Mime is another one of my least favorite characters. He's kind of boring and I don't really care too much for his personality.
Cro-Marmot - Certainly the most boring character in the show. He's a caveman in a block of ice. That's it!? I could certainly write a more well-rounded character.
Flippy - Flippy is another one of my favorites out of the main cast. Some people might not know this, but his name is Flippy because he has a tendency to "flip out". Which brings us to our next entry.
Fliqpy - Fliqpy is Flippy's alter ego that is pretty much an evil version of him. Trust me, if I was out in the woods and saw Fliqpy coming towards me, I'd run as far away from him as possible. Fliqpy is freaking SCARY!?
Splendid - Splendid is a good character because he reminds me of Superman. Batman v. Superman was AWESOME, by the way!?
Lammy - Lammy is my least favorite character. She's not very funny and is kind of weird.
Mr. Pickles - Mr. Pickles is a nightmare creature imagined by Lammy. He's a pickle in a top hat that seems like he should be from Lidsville. He may seem cute, but stay the heck away from that pickle at all costs. He's scary!?
Well, I've ranked every character in the show. See ya next time on the Matt show, :D.
Cuddles - He is a pretty funny and cute character. I actually have fond childhood memories of Cuddles because he was the one who taught me how to subscribe to channels on YouTube.

Daffy Duck the Wizard
I was watching The Looney Tunes Show this morning and this clip was pretty awesome. It almost reminds me of a mix between World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, and an anime. Since I'm a HUGE fan of fantasy roleplaying games and Looney Tunes. I wanted to share this clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oe7Q8OCm5I
It's almost as if Daffy Duck was Harry Potter. Is he going to use his magical staff to fight off evil Dementors? Wow, I'm SUCH a nerd, :D.
My REAL Thoughts on Happy Tree Friends
D'oh, I pulled a Wii U again. By that I mean, do you remember in a previous blog when I said negative things about the Wii U and also had no idea what I was talking about? Well, I've done it again. Here is my REAL thoughts on Happy Tree Friends:
I was exposed it to at a friend's birthday party when I was younger and absolutely hated the gore. But about two weeks ago, I finally sat down and watched a full episode (for the first time in years). To be honest, I actually liked it. I've since binge watched the series (and downloaded a few of them on my computer). It is actually a funny, clever, and well-written series. Let me talk about WHY I find it funny:
I personally have always laughed at gross stuff. The gore is certainly a part of the reason I like it but here is something the haters don't realize. Not EVERY SINGLE joke is gory, if you watch closely, there are plenty of funny non-violent gags. There is also good writing and character development under all the violence, the violence is just there to make it appeal to a teenage audience, because trust me no matter how good it is a TEENAGER would not watch some fluffy kiddie show.
What characters do I like?
My absolute favorite character on the show is Nutty, the little green squirrel with candy attached to him. He makes me laugh and he's one of the most highly developed characters. Also, me and Nutty both love our sweets and I can relate to him (more so when I was little), but in a way I still do. Because trust me, we both get hyper when we eat too much sugar. Another character I like is Flaky. Flaky is a little porcupine who's one of the main core characters on the show. She's SO cute and extremely funny. There's also some character development going on with her, like when we discovered she had a peanut allergy in that one episode. That gag had me rolling on the floor and it way to make me laugh without violence. My third favorite character is Flippy. Flippy is a war veteran bear and while I didn't like him when I first started watching, he's grown on me. Other characters I like include Giggles, Cuddles, Petunia, Lumpy, Sniffles, Handy, and Toothy. My least favorites are The Mole and Lammy.
I hope you liked this blog!

My Time at Weird Al
I mentioned in a previous blog that I was going to a Weird Al concert. Well I went two weeks ago and had a GREAT time. Here's the story:
Mom, Dad, and I went to the concert next to Coney Island and saw a bunch of people with awesome t-shirts. From Muppets to Pokemon to MAD they had pretty much every cool thing on their shirt. Then I waited in line and got a shirt with this picture on it:
In fact, I'm wearing it right now. Anyway, we went into the Concert Hall and Weird Al walking in dancing and singing "Tacky". He did ALL the great songs including (but not limited to) White & Nerdy, Amish Paradise, Word Crimes, Fat, I Lost on Jeopardy, Yoda, The Saga Begins, Foil, and Eat It. He also did a song I'd never heard before. It was a spoof of the song Piano Man but he about Spider-Man. Since I am a fan of MARVEL, I loved it. Also the song Piano Man reminds of my childhood. I can seriously remember the first time I heard the song:
I was eating at a local restaurant called Bun Boy (that is sadly closed down now) when the song came over the radio. I literally have flashbacks every time I hear it so Weird Al's version brought back just as many memories as the original.
They played of other Weird Al appearances/references in between and they showed almost everything I like including Gravity Falls, Teen Titans Go, The Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, MAD, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, and Epic Rap Battles of History. I wish they would've shown Weasel Stomping Day as that as one of my favorite Robot Chicken clips (Behind The Music:Electric Mayhem is my all time favorite). It also would've been cool to show his brief appearance as the minstrel on Lilo and Stitch:The Series, but that's okay, I had a great time either way.
After the show, we went to Skyline and ate coneys.

The King of Dragons
A long time ago in a medieval kingdom far,far away......
There lived a dragon named Smoog. He was known for being very brave he fought goblins, trained gryphons, and can even burp the whole alphabet without throwing up. His favorite things to do were read fairy tales and watch his favorite show, Once Upon a Time. His favorite character was Maleficent because he is a big fan of shapeshifters (especially dragon-like ones). One day, Smoog was reading the story of Hercules and said,
"Man, I wish I could be a hero like Hercules. With movies like Lord of the Rings, dragons are stereotyped as villains. I wish I could show the world I am a good guy,". Then he saw the Paper Fairy, a fairy who carries newspaper and the headline said "A Black Knight has kidnapped a princess in the medieval city of Spamalot,".
"I know, I could totally save that princess!" Smoog thought. So he flew all the way out of Versionia 121, until he got to Spamalot. The first thing he did was go to King Arthur, who was reading an Arthur book, of course.
"Hey, King Arthur. Would you mind if a dragon saved your daughter?" Smoog asked him.
"Please be careful, dragon. I hear the Black Knight is incredibly evil and he HATES dragons. Also, to get to him you must go through a dungeon filled with every mythical creature ever," King Arthur told Smoog.
"Don't worry, I'm the bravest dragon in the forest. I'm sure, I can save her!" Smoog said.
"To get to the Knight, you must ride a Hippogriff named Peter Gryphon," King Arthur said and a Hippogriff flew threw the window.
"Wow, perfect timing!" Smoog said in a half-joking way.
Then he rode the Hippogriff all the way until he got to the dungeon. The sign said "The Dungeon of No Return. Free Wi-Fi!". The dungeon was also right next to a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant.
The first monster, he met in the dungeon, was a bunch of gels. The gels were very easy. To fight them he went to Dunkin' Donuts next door, got some bread and peanut butter. He made a Peanut Butter and Gel sandwich.
"Wow, this is REALLY good. From now on, let's call these peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Because gel sounds like hair gel," Smoog said.
Then he saw an Ettin Barbarian with a huge sword. An Ettin is a really scary two-headed ogre. The Ettin kicked Smoog, but then Smoog said,
"Look over there, a nerd trying to get your autograph!". The ettin turned around and Smoog kicked him to the ground. In the next room, he saw an army of menehunes. To fight them, all he did was step on them.
"Menehunes, more like, mini midgets!" Smoog said. After fighting many death caps, ogres, gnomes, grizzly bears, and even evil unicorns. He finally got to the Black Knight who had the princess locked up in a cage.
"Hey, look over there!" Smoog said and he took the Knight's sword. He sliced the knight's arm off.
"Are you okay?" Smoog asked.
"No, 'tis but a scratch!" the knight said and then Smoog cut off the knight's other arm and both his legs. Then he unlocked the princess.
"What's your name?" Smoog asked.
"My name is Annie," the princess said and he returned her to the King and a huge party was held. They even let Smoog have his own room in the castle and all the rest was history.

My Stories:Fred Instead 2 - Return of the Paul Knockoff
This is my sequel to the first Fred Instead story (which can also be found here on my blog, if you haven't yet read it):
Fred and his chicken wife, Camilla were happily married. One day, they were going on a date to see Star Wars:You Don't Know Sith at the theater. On their planet, there are ten Star Wars movies. On the way to the theater Fred saw something scary:two strange fluffy creatures were attacking Jupiter. He looked out the car window and saw Spot and Buckshot, the cats that he had "killed" in the first story were attacking the city. They had somehow grown to giant size, so he flew back down to earth where he saw Matt writing a new story.
"How about a monkey that goes outer space and fights off a bunch of space goblins. No, it sounds too much like Labyrinth. I already ripped off Rio with that awful Bird Who's Afraid of Heights story. I want something fresh and original. I know I'll call Dalton,"
"Hey, Dalton. Do you have any story ideas?" Matt asked. Then Fred knocked on his door,
"Matt, I need your help!" Fred said.
"Ummm, I gotta go Dalton. An alien just came into my room,"
"Really, a real alien. Could I come over and see him?"
"No wait----"
"I'll be right over!" Dalton said.
"Matt, you must come to my planet. Your cats have come from another dimension and have somehow grown into giants. Help me Matthew Doyle, your my only hope!" Fred said.
"Okay, Fred. But first, I think my friend, Dalton really wants to meet you,".
A few minutes later, a car pulled into the driveway, it was Dalton's dad dropping him off. Dalton then walked into Matt's room saw Fred and said,
"Oh my goodness. A real alien. That's so weird!"
"Yeah strange things happen all the time here. Like when I had Brian Griffin and Gabi the frog sleep in my room or when I was the last man on Earth, married this girl, and then all of a sudden everybody came back. I guess whoever's writing just doesn't understand canon,' Matt said.
"Now you must come to space and save us from these cat monsters," Fred said and they went into a spaceship and flew all the way to Fred's planet. Before they fought the monster, they stopped at an alien taco restaurant. When Fred introduced eggs to their planet, people food became the main thing aliens eat. At the restaurant, they saw a giant dragon named Smoog.
"Oh my goodness, I remember you from the King of Dragons. Would you like to help us defeat these cats?"
"Yes, me and my army is here to help you,"
The army was made up of Smoog, Gonzo, Stitch, a Yip-Yip, Roger, The Hoobs, ALF, and Joss Whedon. I know he's not an alien but he created Firefly, so he knows a lot about outerspace.
Then they went out and saw that the whole alien city was destroyed by Spot and Buckshot. All of the buildings were destroyed, the city was ruins, and everything was messed up. Smoog said,
"I'm sorry but I think everybody on Jupiter is gone. Now excuse me, while I go back to my own story,"
"No, your staying here. It's highly possible that Fred is not the last of his kind, because I am not writing another Last Man on Earth story," Matt said.
"No, your staying here. It's highly possible that Fred is not the last of his kind, because I am not writing another Last Man on Earth story," Matt said.
"Yeah, they're probably hiding at the Alien Zoo," Dalton said.
"Dalton, your genius is showing," Matt told Dalton.
He then covered his pants and said
"Where?"
Then they went to the zoo and saw all the little creatures from Fred's planet.
"What are you all doing here?" Matt asked.
"Hiding from those giant creatures," King Glork said as he was reading a Superdogs comic.
"We will defeat those creatures," Dalton said.
"But how?" King Glork asked.
"Their too damn big!"
But then Matt had an idea.
"Fred, it was your laser that zapped them to this dimension, right?"
"Yes," Fred said.
"Then quick give me your laser," Matt asked Fred as Fred handed Matt his laser and he zapped the cats which turned them back into cute little kittens.
"Awh, they're so cute," King Glork exclaimed.
"And now for saving our planet, I am going to make you king of Jupiter," Glork told Fred and then Matt and Dalton said good-bye to Fred, took the cats, and went back home to Earth.

My Goosebumps Parodies
These are hilarious comedy/horror stories that parodies R.L. Stine's Goosebumps. Enjoy, XD!
The Ettin
One day we were driving to the Florence mall, I was sitting in the back listening to John Mellencamp on my .mp3 player. My mom and babysitter Nila were there. I was singing the lyrics to Human Wheels as I was kicking the back of Nila's seat
"Stop kicking my seat!" Nila shouted.
"Okay, fine," I told Nila. After a long car drive, we finally arrived at the mall. We went into the food court and I got my favorite dish, Orange Chicken. As I was eating I was doing the horrible Annoying Orange noise. Then a guy dressed like a fox walked up to us,
"Hey dude, the mascot convention is that way," I said to the guy in a half-joking way.
"Matt's that's not nice," Mom said to me.
The guy then sat down and told us a scary tale about a monster called an Ettin that dwells outside of the mall. The Ettin is an ogre with two heads that holds a club. He told us that it ate an old lady just last night. The guy then took my fortune cookie and walked away,
"Do you think that guy's crazy?" Nila asked me.
"He's walking around a mall dressed like an antropomorphic fox. What do you think?" I said. Then we went to Hot Topic and saw a sign outside the story that said "Beware of Ettin,".
"It must be that fox guy playing a prank on us," I said to Mom.
In Hot Topic we saw a cool shirt of a bigfoot fighting a yeti.
"Could I buy this shirt?" I asked Mom.
"It would like nice on you," Nila said on you. I then went to pick up the shirt and a portal appeared.
"Let's go into this portal and see what's on the other side," I said to Mom and we ended up in a cave. In the cave, we saw a two-headed ogre gnawing on bones.
"Excuse me sir, can I ask you for directions?" I asked the ogre.
"Come here, I have a surprise for you," the ogre said to me and then he pulled out a club and clubbed me over the head with it.
"Don't you hurt my son like that!" Mom shouted and the ogre punched her.
"I've played Fate and killed many ogres. But you are by far the most rude," Mom said.
Mom then found a sword on the ground and shouted,
"BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL, I AM SHE-RA!".
"What the heck was that?" Nila asked Mom.
"I just wanted to make a pop-culture reference," Mom said.
Mom then charged at the Ettin and stabbed him. The Ettin was never seen from that day forth. We then left the cave and were standing in the mall parking lot for some reason.
"Do you think maybe that ogre was the Ettin?" I asked Mom.
"Ummmm, yeah," Mom said.
The Day I Learned To Fly
One hot Summer day, me, Mom, and Dad were bored. So we decided to pass the time by watching the movie Rio. I really liked the movie, but it got me kinda depressed. The movie made me wish I could fly. I was in my room crying and out of nowhere, a genie appeared.
"Are you a ghost?" I asked the genie.
"No, I'm a magical djinn called an Efreet from the deserts of Egypt. I have been trapped in a bottle for millions of years and am here to grant you one wish," the genie said to me.
"I wish I could fly," I told the genie.
"Here is your wish, AZARATH METREON ZINTHOS!" the genie shouted and I started flying.
"Wow, this is cool, thanks man," I said to the genie and he disappeared. I then flew out in the big room and said,
"Mom, Dad, I can fly now. A genie granted me this wish. I'm gonna go talk to some girls. Who knows I might find the Jewel to my Blu," I told Mom and Dad.
"Be careful," Dad said.
"Genie's wishes always come with a price," he told me.
"Oh, relax," I told Mom and Dad and flew into Vevay. I met a cute girl named Kaylee.
"Hi Kayla it's me Matt. Do you remember me from Acting Class?" I asked her.
"Yes I do, your The Big Bad Wolf right?" she asked me.
"The one and only," I told her.
"How are you flying?" Kaylee asked me.
"Funny story, really, you see," I said and then I started growing feathers, my nose changed into a beak, and I began to shrink to bird size.
"What the heck? I'm turning into a bird," I said and then flew home. I went to Mom who was doing dishes and said,
"Mom, I'm a bird now,"
"Awh, you look so cute. Does Mattie want a cracker?" she asked me.
"Not funny Mom. Could you please cancel tonight's trip to the gas station. I don't want to eat chicken livers, it's like eating my own liver," I said to Mom.
"Okay, fine, we'll go to KFC," Mom said.
"Not funny," I said to Mom and then went into my room and starting blasting the song Rocking Robin.
"Wow, this really sucks," I said.
"I'm gonna have to marry a bird and have birds kids. I think I'm gonna be sick," I said and then the Efreet appeared again.
"Your Dad warned you, didn't he. Genies are tricky. Now if you want to be a human again, you must give me your eyes," the genie said.
"MY EYES?" I asked the genie.
"Yup, and I will replace them with cute little buttons," the Efreet told me.
"No way am I trading you my eyes. But you can have one thing," I told the genie.
"How about the Garbage Pail Kids movie on DVD. It's the best movie ever," I said to Efreet.
"Seriously, how good is it?" the genie asked.
"It got five stars on Rotten Tomatoes," I said to the genie.
"You know what, I'll go home and watch this movie. Your a human again," the genie told me and I turned back to normal. When the Genie got home, he literally pulled his eyes out watching the worst movie ever.
Raggedy Suzy
One day, me and Aunt Shelley went to a little store down in Madison called The Dollhouse. We walked in and it was filled with all kinds of stuffed animals.
"Aunt Shelley," I said to her.
"I have to use the bathroom,"
"Hurry up, I'm going to pick out a toy to give to my Angel Tree kid," Aunt Shelley said.
I then went to the bathroom and saw a doll with a button that said "Press me,". I pressed the button and the doll walked up to me and said,
"Hi my name is Raggedy Suzy and your name is?"
"I'm Matt," I said to the doll.
"I have been trapped in this bathroom for years and never got pressed by anyone, so now I am going to do something I've always wanted," Suzy said to me.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"Kill," Suzy said.
"Oh crap," I shouted and ran for the door but this creepy doll was chasing me with an antique knife.
"HELP!" I screamed and Aunt Shelley showed up.
"Nobody messes with my nephew," she said and ripped the doll's head off.
"Oh no, I've been beheaded," the doll said and fell to the ground dead.
"Wow, Aunt Shelley that was pretty cool. How did you learn those skills?" I asked her.
"I've seen Kung Fu Panda 27 times," she said.
"That's nice but you do know your in the men's room right?" I said to Aunt Shelley.
"Yep, this is kinda awkward," she said to me.
The Yeti's Homestead
One Winter morning, I was really bored. I was snowed in and had nothing to do but watch old cartoons on Boomerang which trust me there's only so much Smurfs you can take. So I decided to do something productive and go outside. I went outside to play with my dog Rooster and saw a yeti.
"What are you, are you a snow gorrilla?" I asked the yeti.
"My people have been looking for a place to stay for ages so we decided where's a better place than your yard," the yeti said.
"Would you like to join in my igloo for some hot cocoa?" the yeti asked me.
"Sure, let me run in and get some marshmallows," I told him. So I went in the house, grabbed some marshmallows, and was ready for my first yeti party. Then I went and followed him to the backyard and saw a large igloo.
"Welcome to my igloo," the yeti said.
I went into the igloo and saw a bunch of yetis, playing pool, watching TV, and eating warm grilled cheeses. One yeti wearing a Kermit the frog shirt walked up to me and asked,
"Are you a Muppet fan?"
"I'm a huge Muppet fan, why do you ask?" I said to him.
"Because we were thinking about spending the day watching Muppet Treasure Island and then comparing it to the original story," he said.
"That sounds like fun!" I said to the Muppet yeti and we spent all day watching the movie. While we were at the Cabin Fever part, I had a strange sound coming from the kitchen. I went into the kitchen and saw my friend, Dalton tied up.
"Why are you tied up?" I asked him.
"Yetis are horrible, I tell you. They may seem nice, but they use things you like and capture you. Yetis hate humans," Dalton said and I untied him. Then a yeti walked in and saw what I was doing,
"HEY, DON'T UNTIE THAT BOY! GET HIM!" the yeti shouted and tons of yetis charged at me. I was looking for a weapon to fight them off with, but all I could find is a can of spinach. Since I spent the whole morning watching old cartoons, I decided to give it a go and boy did that help. I then got the strength of Popeye and started punching all the yetis. It got to the point where they were so easy to beat. Afterwards, I left through the front door and saw Gaga waiting for me with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
The Closet Monster
When I was little, there was a monster in my closet. He was a green creature with horns, scales, and bat wings. I'm not sure where he came from, but I remember it as clear as day. One day, my mom and dad were at a Christmas party, I was sleeping and I heard sounds coming from my closet. At first, I was too scared but I grabbed a flashlight and opened it up. The first thing I saw was a monster sitting there playing a Gameboy. I screamed and the monster screamed,
"What are you doing in my closet?" I asked him.
"I am just a monster. Don't all kids have one in their closet or under their bed," the monster said. I then pulled out a toy gun and said,
"Get out of my closet or I'll shoot you,"
"NO DON'T!" the monster shouted and starting crying like a baby.
"Shhh, shhhh, shhhh, it's okay," I said to the monster.
"I'm not mean, I'm a nice monster. I was going to ask if you wanted to go out for ice cream with me," the monster said.
"But it's 8:00 clock in the evening," I said to him.
"I meant in the kitchen. I've never been outside of your closet in my life," the monster said and we spent the whole night eating ice cream and watching TV. Mom and Dad got home and asked why I'm still up and I said,
"I had fun with a monster,"
"I'm glad your no longer scared of those things, I tried to tell your they're like Elmo," Mom said.
"This guy was a lot like Elmo," I said to Mom and then fell right asleep.
