Dragons

There are many different types of dragons. I like red and black dragons that can shoot fire!!!! What is your favorite kind?


I tried to paint a dragon... but it was bad. Many say it is a mythical creature such as vampires, mermaids, and unicorns. What do you think?

A nice movie is "How To Train Your Dragon." I saw it. It was cool!

Paintings

Painting is what I like to do for peace. I don't like to meditate or any of that stuff. But, painting takes a lot of concentration. I would like to thank my art teacher Vita. She tells us to fill the paper.

I have just finished a painting of Mona Lisa but with my sister's face on it. I do a lot of vampire paintings because i love what they can do. I will blog about vampires again some other time. But, next time I will make it longer.

Violin

Violins are stringed musical instruments. There are four strings. Some strings are expensive and some violins are priceless. If you play it correctly, it makes a beautiful sound. I started using a 1/4 size and now I use a full size. It is not easy to play well. It's easier to play piano. The only reason I changed is because piano is boring. The bow is made out of horse hair and wood.
(The picture is my friend's violin that I play with.)

Tobacco

Tobacco is a plant from the colonial times. Dried tobacco is very smelly. Cigars and cigarettes are bad for your teeth, lungs and more. I hope you don't smoke. On the left are cigars and right are cigarettes. There is a difference between cigars and cigarettes. Cigarettes are smaller.

Chalazion

Chalazion is fat stuck in your eyelid. It is not an infection. I had a chalazion once. Here are signs to see if you might have one: lump on the eyelid, eyelid hurts when you touch it, sensitive to light, watery eyes, heavy eyelid.

There are many ways to get rid it. I tried using medicine. But, it did not work. I also put hot rocks and hot hard boiled eggs on it to try and get rid of it. But, that didn't work that well. So, I chose to have surgery. It hurt but I sucked it up. Now my eyelid is fine.

Pokemon

Pokemon is an old TV show. You may have heard of them. There are cute ones and ugly ones. They have games for PSP , PS3, Wii, DS, and many more. Here is a cute Pokemon on the right. The point of the games are to go on a quest and battle, train, and more. They have action figures. I have a lot. They even have Pokemon cards.

Rhinoceros

What do you think when someone says "Rhinoceros"? When I think of rhinoceros, I think of big, strong animals. In the past, there was a rhinoceros called the woolly rhinoceros. They can grow up to six feet tall!!!!!! Their horns can be about three feet tall. In Asia, their horns are used for medicine. There is another kind of rhinoceros from the Ice Age time period called the Teleoceras.

They are vegetarians so they don't want to eat you. But, they are protective of their territory. So if you don't want to be attacked, get out of its range of smell and don't make any noise.

KANGAROOS

Today I am going to talk about kangaroos . When I think about kangaroos, I think of a boxer.
How about you?

Kangaroos are marsupials. They are the national symbol for Australia. They live about 4-6 years. The baby kangaroos are called joeys. If you would like to see a baby joey without fur and sucking its mom's milk in the pouch, then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Joey_in_pouch.jpg. I read that some tribes in Australia stuff kangaroos and eat them. Also, I learned that only the male ones box.

BAKUGAN

Bakugan are some toys I have. They can be balls and then pop open. I find it cool. You collect then battle with friends. They have created games for the DS and Wii!!! Now they are making a free computer game.

Some are balls and some are weird shapes. They open up when the magnet inside touches a lot of iron.

These are all my Bakugan.

Do you have any?

TIGERS

When I see a baby tiger I just want to hug it for a long time. But I know he could eat me. :(
They're mostly in Asia. Some people hunt tigers. Humans are not regular prey for tigers.

You may think all tigers are orange with black stripes and some white on the bottom. But some are black and white!!!!!!!!!! Males weigh from 330–420 lbs. while females are smaller at 240–310 lbs. Tigers are excellent swimmers and can swim up to 4 miles. Most tigers have 100 stripes!!!!!

Protect your neck with a hard pad because they like to bite the back of the neck. You can also try wearing a mask on the back of your head because they like to attack from behind.

PANDA BEARS

Panda bears are very cute but strong creatures. The giant panda belongs to the carnivore family but 99% of the time it eats bamboo. Other parts of its diet is honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, and bananas. Most of them live in China. Some times like the polar bears, they may attack humans.

The Giant Panda can usually live to be 25–30 years old. The Giant Panda has a black-and-white coat. Males are 10–20% larger than females.

Here is a man who got attacked by a panda bear!!!!!

I could not find anything about how you can protect yourself from a panda attack because no one knows. I think you shouldn't go into a zoo cage with a panda if you don't want to get injured. Zookeepers put them to sleep before going in.
