Posting From a Different Computer

The title pretty much explains it. I´m at Sr. Bloggers work office! He just gave Mom and me a great tour of the building. I almost even wanna work now! (Lol). Dad`s got a double screen computer. That basically means that his computer is a DOUBLE computer. Cool, eh? I can browse Wizard 101 Central on one screen, and write this post to you on the other!!! How cool is that??? I`m not sure if it´s some type of software or something. Also, I am typing on a Norwegian keyboard!!! It is very hard. I have no idea where the correct apostrophe key is. here are some of the different letters from the keyboard

Cool right??? See you all later. I am going to go have some hot "shock o late" now.

My new Playlist :D

Yeah another "quick" announcement. Lol not even close. Sorry for posting a million times in one day . . . feel free to check that last post that I do a good 5 minutes ago.

I just thought, since I'm so excited about it, I'd tell you about my new iTunes playlist! My mom and I share an iTunes account, but when we bought a new laptop, we had our iTunes accounts on REALLY old computers that didn't even work. The rule is, you're only allowed to have 5 iTunes accounts on any family of computers. After learning that, Mom and I had to de-authorize all of our accounts. Sadly, this lost us all of our songs. Stinks, huh? A whole 500 songs and movies wasted. I basically gave up, but Mom, being Mom, wanted to turn this into a "learning experience." We had a big talk about that on the local bus, and Mom decided to get our songs back.

After 5 hours of sleeping on the couch, pulling our hair out, moaning, groaning, and pain, we finally got out songs back!!! In celebration, Mom decided to spend another 1 1/2 hours making a playlist, which we named Norway 2010. Here it is :P

1. Viva la Vida
2. Bubbly
3. Whatcha Say
4. I'm Yours
5. Alejandro
6. Heartbreak Warfare
7. Breakaway
8. Live like we're Dying
9. Waiting for the World to Change
10. Show me What I'm Looking For

And basically 23 other songs. In all, if you listened to the playlist, it would take 2.3 hours to get our last song, November Rain by Guns and Roses

w00tz!!!!

Hope you like :P

Just a Quick Announcement

Just a quick announcement before "Din-din" You probably (hopefully) already noticed that My2cents-ok has a new template! Thought the book theme would be fitting because after all, My2Cents really is a "well rounded" blog. Or at least that was the idea. :P Just wanted to give you all the heads up just in case you thought some crazy dude hacked my blog and took over the world, or just my blog. Yeah. If that happened, I'd REALLY bring it on to that hacker. * gets ready to spam like crazy on that guys email * Alrighty! :)

My Absence . . .

My absence. I'm sorry about it. My last post was ah, over 2 weeks ago. Life has been busy. Dad flew to Norway, Mom is working, and me, well, I just finished my Final Exams last week. I'm writing to you from my laptop in Norway right now. Yep, that country all the way up north. I'm 6 hour ahead of you eastern-time guys reading right now. Right now, it's 7:39. But for eastern time, it's 1:39 in the morning. Weird, eh? That is just a heads up that I am NOT dead, NOT in a coma, and NOT done with blogging.

That game we know and love. Wizard 101. When I first started it, it was the best thing on the planet. All my friends in-real-life played it, and I was as happy as could be. It was all simple back then. But now, there are so many updates, and things that take the "originality" out of the game. I feel like I'm playing an entirely differently game. I probably only have 1 of my buddies from Krok still on my list. Also, I have finally come to notice, "Why in this crazy world am I paying cash to play a game?" I'm not accusing KI of anything.I know it's their job to make moolah. I'm just stating my thoughts, and it feels really good to blab out something. :) All in all, I just want you to know that while I will probably cancel my membership, I will NOT quit W101, but if I do, I'll always be on Central.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Some of the greatest movies every. Some of the greatest stories ever. I just HAD to play it!!! Additionally, our dear friend Sammeh Watercaster was perma banned from W101, and like he says, once it's over, why should you start? He made a new blog, the Plundering Privateer, too. Although he's only had 1 post, I can tell that blog is destined for greatness. Why? Cause it has a kewlio header and template. Lol. Just kdding. The writing is good too. If you wanna meet me on "PotCO" my name is Edward Mcmorrigan, Level 9 Notority. I have a Light Frigate ship, named the Wave Chariot, and my main Capn is usually Sam Seamonk if he is online. I'm usually haunting ol' Tortuga or plundering the seas in search of the Jolly Roger. That's my life. Lol. I'm not done with W101, just putting a little less time into it. There's not much to do when you're a level 48 that's already finished the Questline. I:

One of the oldest blogs I ever read, the Myth Master, has closed. Amber announced it in a final goodbye a few days ago. Sure, we've had some quarrels. I take that back. We have literally gotten virtual swords in the game and tried to kill each other over who got the first piece of virtual chicken leg. But we've calmed down as the months have passed. Sort of. Well, I just wanted to say g'bye to a great blogger and friend. I hope you have fun at whatever you're going to do instead of blogging now. Oh yeah, I heard she's not done with the GAME, just BLOGGING. Well, I'm off to steal that chicken leg, then!!!

I hope I updated you well on what's going on in my life right now, and now that it's summer I'm going to be blogging more frequently than ever. Ever if it's not about W1i01.

The Red Pyramid O,o

http://www.historyonthenet.com/shop/images/Display/egygga3.jpg

Yeah, so I've been reading the Red Pyramid, but the coolest author ever, Rick Riordan. I'm on page 360, and I started 2 days ago! It's completely got me hooked. Above, if that stinkin' link/copy/cut worked, you'll see a graph of the Egyptian Gods, which is what the Red Pyramid is based on. Oh, geez. Sorry for the short post and notice, but I gotta go to dinner now :P. Laterz!

EDIT: The copy didn't work, but I did manage to post a link. Copy and paste the into ya go-bar and BING!!!! There you go! * In background * Sr Blogger, " Jr Blogger get off the dang computer and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!" Geez dad!!! Bye :P

Feliz Belated Cinco de Mayo!!!

Hola Senors y Senoritas y Senoras,

Me llamo Chase. Today this post will be semi-Espanol/semi-English in honor of Cinco de Mayo! (May 5) On this historic day way back when, Mexico signed a treaty/won a battle. As a result, we have the holiday, Cinco de Mayo. Ajer, I went to an Espanol restaurant. Lol, it was insanely loud but FUN! Fish tacos RULE. Lol, since my teacher de espanol is from Columbia, she didn't know this holiday very well. She thought it was a holiday because all the Mexicans wanted to drink more Corona/Beer so they made up a random holiday!!! Not a bad idea, eh??? Lolz.

SPANISH KEY:

HOLA: Hello
SENOR: Mr.
SENORITA: Unmarried girls (The equivalent of Miss)
SENORA: Married girls (The equivalent of Mrs)
ME LLAMO: My name is ______.
ESPANOL: Spanish
CINCO DE MAYO: May 5
FISH TACOS: Delicious food that you can't stop eating
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a completely different note, our dear friend Samuel Watercast, aka TAD, aka the Awesome Diviner, has been permanetly banned from W101. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THE INSANITY!?!??!?!?! He's such a nice guy! Whatever he did, he DEFINITELY did not deserve it. Let us rest our heads in a moment of peace for our departed friend: Samuel Watercaster. We'll remember you Sammy!!! *SOBS* *BAWLS* *CRIES* *SCREAMS*

The Next Generation

Hey,
Sorry you haven't heard much from me lately. After deciding that I'd like to start a new blog, looking at WordPress, GoDaddy.com, webs.com, and pretty much all of that, I decided that I'd take WordPress. I mean PAGES, SWEET TEMPLATES, WHATS NOT TO LIKE? So, to land the plane, I made a new blog, my2cents2.wordpress.com. (To land the plane is an inside joke among the My2cents family LOL) Dad I bet you're cracking up right now! Don't worry, I'm not done with My2cents. The real reason I made this blog was so I could blog about pretty much anything I felt I needed to get out of my system. But, over the course of my W101 career, it was converted to a W101 blog. I now feel the urge to write about my life again, and that is why I started My2Cents 2.0. Enjoy!!!

~Jr. Blogger

PS: If any of you WordPress users have any tips for me, they would be well appreciated. WordPress is DEFINITELY tough to manipulate LOL.

The Power of Mother Earth !!

 


Hi everyone! This is long time absent SR Blogger. I have been thinking about the blog but unfortunately I have been extremely busy and have neglected all our loyal followers and occaisional readers! So sorry!

You can tell by viewing our "world map" that JR Blogger has readers of My2Cents in many different countries and parts of the world. That is so very exciting for JR and me because it allows us to feel connected to all of you in so many differnt places in the world.

Over the last week one thing we all have in common is our awarness of the great power which lies within our beautiful earth! It doesn't matter if you live in Asia, Africa, Europe, America, Australia. North or South, East or West almost everyone on our planet was aware of the tremendous eruption of the volcano located on Iceland. The name of the volcano is........
Eyjafjallajokull . Yes, that's correct: Eyjafjallajokull . Can anyone pronouce this name? I can't. If you can send it to us in phonetic form !! First one to do that will get a special mention in my next post!! :) :) I wish I could award you 10,000 crowns to use in Wizard101 but unfortunately I can't!

So many people were stranded in airports all around the world due to the huge volcanic ash plume coming out of Mount Eyjafjallajokull . I hope they are all OK and heading home now that the airports are opening. You can see in the picture at the top of this post (which was taken from far in space) that the ash plume of volcanic debris is quite long and thick.

This eruption of volcano Eyjafjallajokull is just another example of how small our world is, how fragile we all are and how we must try our best to protect our Mother Earth and respect her and treat her well. That's My2Cents--OK.

A Quick Welcome Home

Hullo,

As I'm quite exhausted from today's proceedings, sadly this will have to be a short post. Recently, Autumn Duskhunter from Homework in a Graveyard has returned again to the W101 Community! Although I have never met Autumn in-game/ever, I have heard MANY great compliments for this Grandmaster Necromancer. I have read a few of her posts, and I was truly WOWED and WOWING by the elaboration of her writing. SWEET!!! My reading teacher tells my class to dig DEEP for our written answers, but sometimes I think that if I go any deeper I will drown! -Lol BA-DUM-CRASH!- I guess it's time to go the DEEP end of the pool now. -Lol BA-DUM-CASH-AGAIN!- Lol that's enough dumb jokes for today :P. All in all, welcome back Autumn and I can't wait to read your "Be log" again! -Lol BA-DUM-CRASH-ISWEARTHISWILLBELASTDUMBJOKEFORTODAY- Wootz! I'm a stand up comic *NOT*

Not the Spiral the Circle !

It's Sunday and a friend of ours is located somewhere in this circle of boats! Every year a group of boaters tie their boats together and have a party over the weekend. Sometimes the "blimp" will fly over the boats and take a picture which will be published in the newspapers. This activity is called a "raft up" and this yachting club does it once a year. Last year they were trying to set a record with over 40 boats tied together...and they made it! We will have to wait and see if they break last years record this time. I think this challenge is really great but then again that's just My2Cents! Have a great weekend. SR. Blogger.

Blogging Software Test for Mac?

Hi all our faithful blog followers....it is SR Blogger once again.  This is a test of the software that Firefox has for posting to blogs.  I am trying it again as a test.  I apologize for filling our post with these tests...but JR Blogger and I are trying to get our blog to the next "level" and make it better and more interesting for you our loyal followers.  I will try and make this post of interest as well as a test.  But that will be your judgement :)

The picture you see here is of the Norwegian Parliament building in Oslo. You can see there is quite a lot of snow on the ground today.  The temperature is 3 degrees Fahrenheit or about -16 Celsius!  Now to me that is cold but then that's just My2Cents worth of thinking.  Thanks for allowing us to test...we hope to keep improving our blog and we appreciate your visiting.  Have a great day.  SR Blogger

Windows Live Writer Test Blog

Good Morning Jr. Blogger and all those who follow our blog…My2Cents.  This is a “test” post to determine the value of the Windows Live Writer software for blogging.  This is SR Blogger testing the software.  Our desire is to be able to use photos and text in a more manageable way.  Sorry to “test” this out on you all !  I know it is not a post about Wizards or really anything of value…but then again it is something we are thinking about AND that is the purpose of the My2Cents blog. 

 ihonepix 003

WOW, so far I like the way we can adjust the size and shape of photos.  It is quite easy to bring the photos from our albums into the post. For your information the picture above is from JR Blogger.  The “Lego” construction was a home fun project he made.  Our family LOVES legos.  Again, thanks for allowing us to do these “test” posts with the new software for PC.  Now I have to find a good blogging software for the MAC computer.  This all looks like it will work but then again that's just My2Cents on the subject.  Have a great day where ever you are!  We really appreciate your comments and that you follow our blog.

Red Flying Saucer or what??

 

Hi, this is SR Blogger. Some of the followers of MY2Cents may remember a post I made a few weeks ago. A mystery building made entirely of ice blocks was constructed in the shadow of the Nobel Peace Prize building in Oslo, Norway. After investigating the ice structure you know that I discovered it was built to call attention to the terrible earthquake that caused so much devastation and suffering in Haiti. I learned today that the ice building is still standing and in fact has not melted one bit! AND...inside I found this bright red object. I didn't know what it was at first but upon closer examination I found that it is a collection capsule. People are encouraged to donate some Norwegian money for the people of Haiti. By the way Norwegian money is name Kroner...or CROWNS !!! Hey, maybe this is where the Wizard101 crowns originate! :) It was nice to see the ice sculpture still standing to remind us all that those suffering people in Haiti are still having a rough time of it. I hope we all can do something to help them. I know that seeing this ice building certainly reminded me of their plight. That's My2Cents about it. Have a great weekend everyone. See you in the Spiral.
