That’s the question of today. Why? I understand that people think Mondays are horrible because it’s the end of the weekend and we don’t want to go back to school or work (unless you love your job and or school). But, if you don’t like school or your job, then how are Mondays any different from any other weekday? I think people hate Mondays because it’s a stereotype. People think because everyone hates Monday, then they should too? What kind of logic is that?! I think someone along the line
said, ” You know what, I’m going to hate Mondays just because!” Then the guy next to him was like, ” Oh yeah, that’s a great idea!” After that it just spread. That’s right, you heard it from me first, Mondays are a stereotype. And now… The Not So Philosophical Question! Do you hate Mondays? If so, explain your reasoning. That’s All!

A Trip to the Zoo
I wrote a spelling story and I had to use six adverbs and eight spelling words. This story is realistic fiction.
A Trip to the Zoo
When Ben woke up the next morning he remembered how much fun he had going to the zoo. Yesterday, when Ben was handing in his math homework, his teacher announced that they would be going on a field trip to Lincoln Park Zoo.
After the announcement, everyone in the room went bezerkers. Anna Hallway started screaming at the top of her lungs, Jeremy Bonjo started dancing, and Julia Vero (well you get the point). Everyone except Ben. Ben thought it was a little over the top because all it is is just going to see animals (geez).
2 hours later, Ben stepped on the bus that smelled suspiciously like smoke, (blame the bus driver) and headed off to the zoo. Ben brought a notebook and pencils because his teacher told them they would be taking notes on the animals we saw.
But when they reached their final destination it was much larger than Ben had expected. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad he thought. The first animal they saw was the monkeys. They swung from branch to branch enthusiastically. Ben thought they were funny. The second animal they saw were the seals. His mom had given him 2 dollars to spend and he used those 2 dollars to buy fish for the seals. He threw the fish into the air and the seals caught the fish in their mouths and quickly ate them. Third they saw pandas. A sign told them that these were some of the only pandas on earth. One panda slowly lumbered over to some bamboo and gnawed on it.
Fourth, we saw some giraffes. Ben got to touch them. Two kids fought over whether or not they should feed a giraffe a sausage. The giraffe awkwardly walked over to a tree and munched on the leaves. Last, they saw a snake. He was a diamond back rattle snake. He could snatch up a rat so fast you would miss it if you blinked. You had to keep him inside his cage because he was poisonous.
So at breakfast Ben’s mom said, “What did you do yesterday?” And Ben told her about how he went on a field trip and all of that. Though he didn’t tell her about him not wanting to go to the zoo because she was zoologist.

Rad Lemon Poetry (oh – and some babies too!)
Lemons are sour and so are you.
The juice makes you cry and I’m going to cry with you.
– Random poem by Robo (looks like I’m being influenced by Apollo, God of Poetry who does really bad poetry in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan)
This video came from my friend’s blog but I’m adding a little twist to it with a funny title. His title for the post is Pucker Up! You should watch this because they have babies closing their eyes and sticking their tongues out after they eat a lemon. Who are these parents giving their babies lemons anyway?
Minecraft Parody Sleepover
I have a guest author tonight named Survival Maniac (Minecraft user name). He’s going to write this blog post. – Robo
Thanks Robo! I’ll take it from here.
When Robo and I were playing Minecraft together on the computer we realized that we are not a great team. We kept having to respawn (come alive again). Luckily we had each other and we shared our food and weapons. Robo even found red stone and lapis lazuli. Once we were trapped in our house when two spiders were surrounding us. We had just respawned so we didn’t have any weapons. We had a lot of trouble defeating the spiders. Luckily our house was in the desert so we pushed them into cacti.
We’ve been watching a lot of parodies for songs. And these are our favorite ones.
Don’t Mine at Night is a funny parody and also teaches you a lesson for playing Minecraft. The lesson is not to mine at night because if you mine at night there will be a lot of monsters on your way to the cave and a lot in the cave.
Like An Enderman is a video that shows you what an enderman may do to you in Minecraft. Lesson: Stay away from endermans!!
Join Me Stevie is a parody of Call Me Maybe. It is about Stevie, the main character in Minecraft, being found by a lonely teenage girl that is going to help him with his skills.
Minecraft Style is one of the top 10 Minecraft songs. If you like digging in Minecraft this is the perfect song for you.

Dictionary – Be Quiet For Once!
sca-tol-o-gy (scatological): Obscene language or literature especially that deals humorously with excrement and excretory functions.
Okay. Thanks a lot dictionary. That is the definition of scatology. In case you don’t know what those big words were. In other words, someone had a potty mouth.
This is a picture of a sock monkey dressed as Mozart (from mediamolecule via Compfight cc). And you are probably thinking right now at your house, “Why does he even put a picture of a sock monkey dressed as Mozart?” Well here’s your answer. Mozart had scatological humor. In other words, he had a potty mouth. According to my music teacher, Scott, Mozart would say something really really bad in front of someone who would say, “Oh my goodness.” And Mozart wouldn’t even care.
You see, sometimes famous musicians sometimes have a negative aura.
aura : 1. An invisible breath, emanation, or radiation. 2. A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing.
Once again. Thanks dictionary!
Dictionary: “Why thank you!”
