Pavement Patty - 'I hate my life' moment...

Hello! I found this pretty hilarious...

First read this this - http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100908/od_yblog_upshot/canada-unveils-new-speed-bump-optical-illusions-of-children (You'll have to copy it and drag it into internet explorer or firefox...whatever you use....)

Second read this -

Hahaha! Wow, stupid silly Canadians. I thought that article was so funny. The thing I'm worried about the most though is what's gonna happen when the drivers get used to these pavement patties and just ignore them. Someday a driver will be driving and run down an actual child. That's going to be so sad. I don't want to bash these new speed bumps or speed breakers as they call them here, but I'm pretty sure it's a stupid idea and it's going to fail. I also don't want to bash the article too much, because I have some Canadian friends...hahahah, but still. Wow.

Speaking of speed bumps there are a couple in my neighborhood. There's this certain speed bump that no one ever notices. It's like it's invisible or something. No, really...It's crazy! So, whenever I'm chilling out somewhere and I grab an auto to go back to my house I always watch out for it. The first two the auto driver can see, but then the third one I just fly into the air. When we approach it I start to have like a miniature heart attack or something.
"Oh no! Is it the next one..or?" And I'm freaking out and I don't see it (well it's invisible anyway) and I hit my head on some metal bar in the auto. Hahaha. It's just like..."GAHHH EVERY TIMEEEE!! WHYYYYY???" Hahaha. I guess it's just one of those 'I hate my life' moments... :P

Cheers,

Greatest Movie Ever Made. Ever.

What's your favorite movie ever made? Probably some intense action movie right? Bourne Ultimatum? The Dark Knight? Yeah, something on those lines...well I just wanted to tell you about my favorite movie.

The greatest movie ever made - Big Fish. Ever seen it? You need to watch it if you haven't. I sure have been suggesting things these days...first The Weepies now this. Ha.

Anyways, it's a movie about stories...so if you like telling stories you'll like it a lot. Or if you have a Dad that tells a lot of stories. :) The movie was directed by Tim Burton, so 'woohoo' for that! Yeah, if you like stories, Ewan McGregor, and Tim Burton you will for sure like this movie. It'll probably have you in tears by the end of it. Wonderful movie. It's amazing. Go watch it right now...and if you own it, well, watch it again!

Cheerio,
Claytone

The Weepies

I'm back. And wow, I have been loving it. I listen to music all the time, when I do school, when I'm in autos...wow it's amazing. I've recently gotten two Weepies albums. They came out with this one with a cow on it. Hahaha. It's so cool. Great music. If you've heard of The Weepies then you probably should get the cow album, or more commonly know as - "Be My Thrill." It's chill and not as depressing as their other albums...they have happier songs. Haha.

If you don't listen or have never heard of The Weepies then I'm sorry your missing out. You need to go and buy all of their albums. Right now! You'll be in tears before the day is over, hence the name... The Weepies... Enjoy! 

Cheers,

Clay-tone.

FLIP, the most fabulous, faithful flip-flops ever...

What you're looking at here is my favorite pair of flip-flops ever. I've worn them everywhere. Unfortunately when you wear flip-flops everywhere they will eventually begin to die. That is what my flip-flops did. Yes, it's sad. It'll all happen to us one day though. So get ready, prepare, and try not to cry. My parents think my flip-flops look ugly, so they are making me get rid of them. Basically my Mum said I could not bring them back to India. I mean that's understandable, they are pretty beat up. It's sad. I'll have to get over it though. While I was here I bought some more flip-flops that I'm going to wear when I get back. I'll have to trod around in them until I get used to them. It may take a while, but what other choice do I have? I'm going to have to give up my old flip-flops. Maybe I don't want to, but I have no choice. I think life is sometimes like flip-flops. Just like I'm giving up these flip-flops and getting new ones, I have to end a chapter of my life here in America and start a new one when I get back home. When I get back to India Connor will not be with me. Yes, it'll be sad and hard to get used to, but I think I will have a good time anyway. I'm sad about leaving my flip-flops here, but I also like my new ones and I can't wait to wear them. Just in this way I'm really excited about life in India, without my brother and a lot of my other senior friends. Delhi is changing a lot, new people are coming, and everything is different. I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life. I believe it's going to be a good one. I think I will do well not only in school, but also in life. And heck, if I ever get super depressed there's always Cinnabon to keep me company/plump. I honestly don't think that will happen though. Haha.

Lily & Dad

So, the big thing in our life since we've been in America has been Connor's car. We pretty much bought it straight out in the beginning. Like our second day in the States or something. Connor got a Toyota Camry, 2001. It's a nice tan color with a spoiler and a sun roof. So pretty sweet car. Also it has nice speakers. Connor and I have had our share of driving the car around America. We've driven it all over. Connor still hasn't given it a name, but maybe he'll name it soon. Along with the awesome car Connor got, he got an iPhone 4. That thing is so cool. It can do like everything. So, he bought a gps for his iPhone.

We tried it out the first day we got it. You have a choice to either choose a man's voice or a woman's voice. Of course we chose a woman's. Hahaha. We eventually settled on the name "Lily". It has a nice jolly ring to it I guess. Whatever, it's a nice fit and everything. Sometimes when we go places though we can't decide wether we want to use Lily, the map, or our own brains. Sometimes we use all three and get confused. Lily will say go one way, but the map will say another...

just an update...

Hey! Yeah, sorry guys, obviously I haven’t been writing much. And it’s not because I’ve been busy. I’ve been anything but busy. That’s sad because that means I really haven’t found anything fun to do in America.  I’ve had in America and all, but I’ve had a lot of free time. I guess I should have used some of that to blog, but NO! I HAVNE”T! GOSH! I feel like every time I post something I start saying sorry to the audience, because I like haven’t written at all. I’ve spent a lot of my free time reading. That’s been enjoyable. Anyways, with all the free time I’ve been pretty bored, like when I’m not reading.

I began to miss India a lot. I know the US is a good break and all, but sometimes I don’t want a break. Right now what I really is to fall back into my normal routine in India. Wednesday night Kareoke, Saturdays are Frisbee days and some times even DDR days…and then Tuesday night of course, and then going to the mall all the time, cause I’m a mall rat. Woohoo’s, TGI Fridays, The Theatre, Coffee Bean, Youth Alive. Yeah, I miss all of that. I also miss my friends, of course, although a lot of them are also in the States. I’m not complaining. Just sayin’ I miss it a lot.

mac pictures...

I am now in Oklahoma! If you care. ha.

Yep, drove up here about 4 days ago. I drove halfway and Connor drove halfway. I tried to get cruise control to work in Connor's car, but couldn't figure it out. ahhh. oh well. anyways, something awesome arrived in the mail today that I should share with you. My Dad and I got our new camera and stand! YES! it's so cool. It's a Canon EOS T2i. It's awesome, it even has video! Oh, and the video is super nice. It's like HD. So, i read the most of the manual today to try and figure out how to operate it. So, I was experimenting with the camera and I thought, What is something good to photograph?. That's when I saw my beautiful new mac sitting right there and I was like, "yep, that's it." So, I took some pictures of my mac and I figure you guys may want to see what it looks like anyways, so yeah...check out some of the pictures below. :)
