I need a new template for our blog. This one causes our RSS Subscribers to read the postage in light colors, on a light background. I would like something with a white/light postage box, black background, and grey sidebar. Oh, no pictures and a black title area too. With a template like that, we would be rocking in paradise!

I guess this it for today. At least for me. The last pure month of Summer is July. Today is the last day of July...

Isn't 300 Pounds the Weight Limit?

One day at the water park I was prepared for fun but instead got pain. Well, first of all my friends and I got in line for Vortex which we didn't know it would have a sudden drop, so when we got to the front of the line my friends all went first then I got in the water crossed my ankles put my hands behind my head and off I went, whooshing through the water then after going round and round I fell through a shute to about a 5 foot drop in a 8 foot pool. Water rushed up my nose and when I got to the surface my friends were no where to be seen! After searching for about 20 minutes I finally found one of my friends.


Together, we went into the wave pool hoping that some more of our friends would find us. Once the waves started I tried to float but the water was rushing up my nose and in my ears, then my nose felt strangely warm and it was then that I realized then my nose was bleeding! I could just hear a life guard calling me but odd enough they didn't jump in! So there I was one hand plugging my nose and the other trying to swim against the waves to the ladder, of course the waves were strong and my one arm couldn't move me. So a kind lady help me to the ladder then I climbed up and the life guard of all things hands me a "rubber" glove and I was thinking to myself why in the world did she give me a rubber glove?


After that she escorted me to the water parks health office to help me bleeding nose and all they did was give me a loose grip nose pincher which, after I few seconds, it was soaked in blood and my blood was dripping through it, and all they did was ask me if I bumped my head! I told them no then after 2 minutes they asked again if I bumped my head, this happened about 3 times! Then a lady with her son noticed my nose was dripping through the cloth they put in the pincher luckily she was a nurse and she knew what happened and knew the simple solution, so she gave me some napkins to pinch my nose with! A few minutes after that they said I could go which I did. My friend was waiting for me outside unhappy that we had to wait 5 minutes for the bleeding to stop, and during those 5 minutes I was thinking about those doctors that didn't know what the heck they were doing!


After that incident I thought my troubles were behind me, they weren't! We got in line for the Black Hole ride and when we got to the top I crossed my ankles hands behind my head then away I went. Whooshing down at high speeds I was about to scream whoohoo but then I heard someone behind me saying "Whoohoo!" like he was reading my mind. It was a man that had to have been over the wait limit because he was whooshing down the slide faster then I was! When I hit the pool after the ride I knew what was going to happen..... He came tumbling down on me then walked about as if he didn't know, he practically snapped my neck! (Glad my head didn't end up his behind! Well I guess that is the one, and only, good thing about this day.)


After this day of pain I never wanted to go there again but, I felt bad that my family was going and I was not so even though remembering that day I went anyways. Three days after that unluckily I got sick with a rash type virus and had to go to the emergency room only to find out that it was a virus after having needles and an IV stuck in my arm! Heck, they labeled it as "Unknown," and gave me some Placebo Pills thinking 'I' was crazy... What do you think? They charged $600 to tell me that it was an "Unknown Virus."

To Pig, or not to Pig?

There is this awesome Asian All you can Eat Restaurant near my house and they only charge $10 per person to get in! When you walk in, there is this poster on the wall to your right saying that the restaurant is on the top 100 restaurant list for the county. After you see the poster, you walk into the main room and see how fabulous this Food Shogun really is. There is this neat Japanese Pond with a few popeyed goldfish, one was charcoal colored, as you walk in. The waitress greets with a, "Eww... Why is it that people only come here to eat?" sort of way... She shows you to your table and smirks, kind of scary really... Anyways, the rest of the place is fine, it is just the lady up front. You get your plates and just walk up to all the bars full of food, wonderful food!
The food here is so tasty! For $10 you can get all you want! Of course, you sill have to worry about pigging too much... You don't want to get fat, do you? If only I could remember the name... Ahh, here we go.

Final Fantasy

If you want to know something about me that I really like, it is Final Fantasy. I just started to like Final Fantasy about 3 years ago when I tried out Final Fantasy 7. After I beat FF7, I went to playing FF8,9,10, and 12. So far I have beaten them all except FF12( Does anyone know how to beat it? ) which I am having some problems with beating it! If you are someone that is wondering if Final Fantasy is a game you would like, I would have to say try it out for a few hours and you will like it.

I would have to say that FF8 is my favorite Final Fantasy game which most Final Fantasy fans will agree that this or FF7 & 10 are the best Final Fantasy games out there so far. Final Fantasy games are great for many things, but they are famous for their cut-scenes! I personally like the Final Fantasy series for their great story lines, great characters, and the battle scenes which were changed in Final Fantasy8 when you had to fight a Sorceress and keep Rinoa alive at the same time. This type of battling continued into Final Fantasy9, then in Final Fantasy 10 which has got to be my second favorite, changed for the better. In Final Fantasy 10 you could decide on the move you were about to make instead of rushing it so you can't die while your making your decision. In Final Fantasy 12 the battle scene changed completely, because there was no battle scene! In this game you could battle your enemies on the map so it made the game a bit harder and a lot more interesting. Now, if you read this and still think Final Fantasy is boring, then something must be wrong with you!

My dream of being a chef!

You know I really like cooking, and when I grow up I dream of being a chef! So far, I have created my very own Lemon Bundt Cake recipe (Milk, Eggs, Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest, Flour, Sugar, Butter, and Brown Sugar) with powdered sugar and a lemon icing (Lemon Juice and Powdered Sugar). It tastes great and I dream of making many more glorious foods and drinks that taste just as good or even better! I even watch the food channel studying how and what they cook. If someday my dream is realized, I hope that I could open my own restaurant and serve many delicous foods and drinks to all of my customers. Untill then, I'll just have to settle with serving them to my family.

To be a chef you have to be passionate about what you do. Chefs work grueling hours, in heat, under constant pressure from the rest of the restaurant. The money is not very attractive unless you are able to open your own restaurant...which takes years of experience before you should even attempt....and even then the success rate is abyssmal. If you LOVE cooking and have a PASSION for it, it's worth doing. If you are wondering if it pays well... for the most part it doesn't, but that is not always true. A "Masters Degree" in cooking takes about 10 years to get and with it you can make up to $150,000 a year! That is, if you work for the right company... which is hard to find. If your right out of school with minimum experience, your looking at about 10 dollars an hour. Entry level Chef 30-35K, entry level Executive Chef = 40-50K yr.

Old Friend?

Last night, I started to write a schedule of the next morning chores. General things; water plants, clean dog's water bowl, pick up groceries, etc. My mother and I planned to start at 5:00 in the morning so we could could get everything done early. Well, we both got to bed at about 10 PM and tried to get up at 4 AM, she couldn't do it... I got up at 4 and she set the alarm to go off at like 5 something. So while I was waiting for her, I stumbled around in the dark getting prepared for the grocery shopping. (This sounds like a lot of work just to go to Safeway, huh? Well, we have a long way to get to the good stores.) The long hot shower was nice, but I came out all pruney! I whizzed through brushing my teeth, well I didn't feel like brushing so I just rinsed with mouthwash, and began reading my new book, "I Heard the Owl Call my Name." This is one difficult book! I didn't have a chance to read much as my mom's alarm finally went off. She got dressed in an instant and we walked out the door, into the car we went. Drove down the road and we were stuck in traffic, the city was expanding the road. Luckily because it was early, it did not take long to pass. As we pulled into the parking lot, we looked at up in surprise, the front of the lot was all torn up! My mom said "Ahh... Now we can't park in front." We walked into the store and started at the produce department. We spent more time in just the produce than the rest of the store, that is not what we usually do. Anyways, when we got to the meat section, there was no meat in the shelves and the poultry was covered in plastic sheets. We walked around the meat, wondering what was going on, and headed for the frozen section. This very nice male employee greeted us and told us that there was a power outage. Mom asked, "How long did it last?" He replied with, "Well, from about 3 AM to 20 minutes ago. Ya, it was hard taking all the meat off the racks in pitch black." It was about 7 AM now and Mom and I both looked at each other in surprise. We ended our shopping with some ice cream, I chose Almond Praline and Cookie Dough. When my mom saw the flavors she said, "Eww... Cookie Dough is too sweet, but if it's what you want..." I told her to choose something else if she wanted to, and she did, she quickly put the Cookie Dough back and grabbed Slow Churned Coffee. As she did so, I asked if we could each get a donut, only one. She nodded to approve since she was paying for it. (I love it when she does that!) We went looking for the bakery and went to the wrong side of the store, we turned around and traveled back to the other side. When we got to the bakery the shelves were empty! Now, they were either empty because of the early time, or because of the blackout. Either way, my mom went up to ask if they were still baking when she recognized someone that she worked with just before she was pregnant with me. She mentioned it to me and I told her to say something to the lady. Now the surprising part is that we've moved far away from where she used to work and this lady must have moved too. When my mom asked the lady if she remembered her from the Safeway where she used to work, the lady replied with, "What was your name?" My mom said her name and the lady nodded, we could tell that she hadn't remembered. Well, we headed to the checkout line and my told me the story about the lady: They used to work at a safeway together about 16 years ago. One day their boss told my mom that he wanted her to work up front because she was prettier. Well, the lady overheard the boss say this. She did not tell me what the lady did, but I would imagine that she was pretty upset, for 1. the boss said my mom was prettier, for the second reason, working up in front at the bakery was a big promotion. After my mom was finished whispering this to me, I told her that it was a good thing she did not remember you. She nodded and we got back in line, donut deprived. She said, "I hope this doesn't come to over $221, it is all that is left in my bank account. Our cart is stuffed... Uhh oh." Well, guess what. The total came to $221. Luckily, my mom did not hand the club card to the cashier yet. The card brought the price down to $161, big discount. We packed everything into the car and headed to the nearest donut shop. This time they learned how to speak English, last time, they were speaking Chineglishees. We got one donut each and headed home. (What? No more donuts? One donut is just not enough!!!)

Xbox Problem Solved!

Many people have had problems with their Xbox, inserting a disk and having the "This disc is either damaged or dirty," message appear. Slowly some games stopped working untill all games and movies stopped.

There was a lawsuit that was filed a few years ago that addressed a problem that microsoft found. The power connection was burning from a design flaw in older Xboxes. Microsoft came up with a solution and mailed most xbox owners a post card stating owners to order a new replacement cord on their website for free. The new cord fixed the hazord the flaw caused, but it was not related to the disk reading problem.

I Have found a way to fix the error with the disk-drive in the Xbox, but you must be willing to void the warranty, which is up anyways. The problem we are talking about is another design flaw, related to the fan and airflow. The way to fix the Xbox is very simple acually, all you need is a tourque screw driver of the right size, a normal screw driver, and this would really help speed up the proccess, a can of Dust-Off. First of all you must locate all of the tourqe screws at the bottom of your Xbox ( Under the stickers and sponges ). After they are all removed flip your Xbox right-side up, pull the top of your Xbox carefully off. Next, where you enter your discs into the Xbox you will notice it is covered by a metal sheild which you can remove by using your screw driver at the four screws at the corners of it. After the metal sheild is removed you see the Xbox scanner which you will then see the problem...... It is blinded by dust! To remove this dust use the Dust-Off Can to clear the Xbox scanner which then should fix the problem of the mis-read discs. Then, to finsih it all up put the Xbox back together then try it out and see if it works.

Beginning

Hmm... What to say?

My friend and I were sitting around with nothing to do today.
I asked him if he wanted to start a blog with me.
He, having no experience, said sure.
We turned my computer on and decided to search on Google for a blog site and then I remembered that Google owned Blogger so we went there.
We started brainstorming about a title and future plans for the blog.
The title "Broken Note" was drawing toward me so I suggested a vote.
Paper was taken out and we wrote down all that we like about the titles we thought of.
After our wrists adapted to the carpal tunnel, we read what we thought of each title and saw that "Broken Note" was what we both liked the most.
We filled in everything and the blog was created.
Oh, by the way, I am Spray Guard and my friend is Wet Drake.
We will be working on this blog together.
I am * years old and Wet Drake is *.
If you can not already tell, this is my first official blog post.
I look forward to blogging in the future
