That pretty much says it all.
I was just in the most relaxing, warm, awesome bathtub with jets in my life XD.
After playing tennis for 6 hours today, it was a relief to FINALLY get some rest, and, ahhhhhh, take a dip in the tub. In Norway, the primary way of cleaning is a shower, which I am fine with, but I need my bath once in a while O.o I was so happy haha. Well that's kind of all. . . Lol.
It brings back memories of jumping in the ice cold pool in the Keys and then hopping right into the warm jacuzzi. Ahhh, memories. That's got me thinking, Dad, when we move, can we get a jacuzzi? Just a thought :D

Wherever the Wind Shall Take Us
Hullo all.
Sorry for not posting... I've been very busy in real life with traveling! Where are we now, you ask? Well, recently, the My2Cents family took a 5 hour long train ride to Boston, MA! Ah, memories. Sort of. Mom went to college at Harvard, so she's basically our tour guide. A day after we arrived in Boston, my good friends from Home took a plane all the way here just to see us. (Well, actually, they came here to sight-see)
So far, we've been on a Duck Tour, which is basically a boat on wheels from WWII, we've been on like 5 trolley buses, we've gone to an Aquarium and we've played Hacky-sack for 2 hours. Despite all of these fun activities, my favorite activity was probably going to the Navy/Pirate Museum and seeing the USS CONSTITUTION!!! Yep, for all you PotCO fans, that's a HUGE, ORIGINAL, battleship from the Civil War. (And Beyond haha) I counted, and it like 40 cannons and broadsides all together! It was CRAZY! I loved it! I took so many pictures! But, alas, I cannot post thy pictures for, thee can't have thy's card-reader. (I just wanted to do a little bit o' pirate talking! Fine I'll stop /shrug) Yeah, so I'll post pictures when I can load the camera up the laptop. Stay tuned!

Welcome to Las Vegas
Welcome to Las Vegas! Well actually, the My2Cents family has found ourselves mingling with the Swedish people, in Gotenborg, Sweden. So let's start over. Welcome to Gotenborg!
Our journey began in Oslo, Norway. We had been there for 1 month and finally, it was time to move out. We packed our bags, and called up a taxi, which took us to a train station.
After 5 hours of watching my favorite show on the laptop, Mythbusters, we reached the final train stop. We exited the train. It was POURING, literally raining buckets. Within moments, we were soaked to the bone. We finally reached our bus, which would transport us the last stretch of the journey, Gotenborg.
During the bus, I watched the 3 Stooges on Dad's iPhone. Funny . . . Then, suddenly, I had a brainstorm. True friends, was the topic. My paragraph(s) are/is coming soon!
So now y'all know what I did today. HAGS! (have a good summer)

The Road to Holmenkollen
The Road to Holmenkollen:
Holmenkollen is a mountain located in Norway. It is an annual My2Cents Family tradition to hike this giant hill/mountain. Today we went hiking in Holmenkollen...
First, we took a tram to the bus stop. The tram was very cool because on Sundays, the modernized trams are left at the stations and the refurbished old time trams are used. Dad, Mom, and I got to stand on the caboose sort of thing! The open air, along with the rattle, rattle, of the old tram made a VERY exciting adventure. It seemed that every turn we took nearly tossed us off!!! After about 15 minutes, we stopped at the Majoustra bus stop.
The bus ride was quite long, lasting maybe 25-35 minutes. I think we got off at the wrong bus stop, because, abnormally, we had to walk ALL the way up the mountain. * whew * One of our first obstacles, or should I say activities was to climb numerous, flimsy rope bridges tied to trees. My parents did not climb, but simply walked while I risked my butt TRYING to climb up a 20 foot tree and then briskly sliding now a rope. (Maybe not so briskly. More like painful) After that, we took a picture of a few rock sculptures, such as a moose and a very interesting interpretation of some Norwegian Deity.
Towards the top of the mountain, we came upon a lake that is normally frozen, but on this summer day, it was crystal clear, and you could even see straight to the bottom. I found an old branch and played in the water for a while. A few times, I dug out some slime or algae from a hole in a rock. (Ewwww) After a while, we hiked the last stretch of mountain to a restaurant built in 1891. I had some Norwegian meat balls. * YUMMY! * And for desert, I had 1 meringue, 1 huge chocolate chip cookie, 1 bottle of Coke, and 1 glass of milk. (NOT A GOOD IDEA!) I felt like I was gonna throw up for like an hour. Not fun... Yeah Dad, I learned my lesson I: After that, we were too tired to walk ALL the way down the mountain, so we took another bus and another tram. I fell asleep on the ram. I: I haven't taken a nap like that for 6 years. :D Lol. That was my day. Pics to come soon if I can load up Dad's camera to his MacBook.

Of Rip-offs and Renewals
Of rip-offs and renewals. Was I unknowingly ripped off? Was I forced to renew? Yes and yes. My W101 membership, which I payed $60 for, has recently ended. * flash back * "Dad, can I buy a membership?" "Sure senior." Ahhhh, that was exactly 1 year and 4 days ago. But that year was not everlasting. My membership has ended, and KingsIsle ripped me off and took another $60 dollars because I forgot to cancel my membership. Did I receive an e-mail telling me I had 24 hours of membership time left? Nope. Just a scam to steal your $$. I am not accusing of KI of stealing my money, they were simply doing their job, which is making money. I am simply posting a reminder to all you paying Wizards, CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIPS WHEN THEY ARE GONNA BE OVER SOON!! Now, I have to either waste 60 nice, crisp, green, bucks, or keep playing W101. Clever, KingsIsle, clever. And sly. Very sly. . . What other things do you have up your sleeves?

Bye Myth Master
Yep. It's gone. One of the blogs I read. The Myth Master. I guess people are cutting the ties to W101, now. Ah, disregard that last line. I'm listening to November Rain, and it's a kind of sad rock song. I listen to loud music, I act loud. Sad music, I act sad. My brain is hotwired for rock music. Lol. Last week, Amber Stargem announced that she would be forever closing her blog, The Myth Master. She told us that we only had 1 week to read her blog until she deleted it. That week ends now. I've already tried to access the blog twice, but to no avail. It appears she deleted it already. Goodbye Myth Master. . . Oh and I went to a buddy's house yesterday for dinner. He likes ventriloquist dolls. And diablos. And juggling. And guitar. All of those things are so FUN to do. He even let me try diablo-ing. If you wanna see some EXPERT ventriloquist skills, go to jeffdunham.com it's AWESOME. This guy is hilarious!!! Oh and, guys, please help me find somewhere I can help my friend buy a ventriloquist doll. He really wants one. And I don't know where to get it. eBay, anything. Just tell me. Thanks all.

The World Cup
The World Cup. The ultimate test of skill and stamina for soccer players around the world. Are you up for the test?
Lol. That was just a little commercial-ly do thingy that I made up while watching USA battle the UK in an epic battle of wills and soccer/football skills. The UK scored early in the game, and US goalie, ________ Howard, was slide-tackled clete first square into his chest. Screaming in pain, the goalie did not think he could continue the game. But after 5 minutes of injury time-out, he thought he was fit and ready enough to continue. This set the US players to a more Defensive style, and had most of their players down by their goal, fending off over 10 goal attempts by British star, Wayne Roone. But the US did not give up. Late in the first half, USA pushed ahead and scored a single goal. It would be their first, and their last. After over 45 minutes of attack, fall back, attack, fall back, by the UK, and defend, move back, defend, move back, the game ended at a draw. That goes to show that even the underdogs, USA, can rise up to the challenge and fend off one of the greatest football/soccer teams in the world. Stay tuned for more updates on the World Cup.
