March Break

Last week i forgot to blog about my march break so im gonna do it now. My mark break was pretty fun. I spent the entire time in the US. During my march break i went to Pittsburgh and Cleaveland. You may be asking yourself "Eric why would you want to go to pittsburgh and cleaveland? Theres not really much to do there." and the simple answer to this question is I went just cuz my family couldnt think of anywhere else to go. Pittsburgh was pretty cool. We went to a bunch of museums there. The Andy Warhol museum was cool. Pittsburgh is really hilly so all the houses are on the hills and it looks weird and the streets are like a maze. Cleaveland was ok. It was kinda sketchy but its sort of a nice city. I went to the rock and roll hall of fame there and it was really cool. I had a lot of fun on my march break. Here is a picture I took of pittsburgh.

Driving School

Right now i am sitting in driving class and i am really bored so i decided to write a blog. Im sitting beside my buddy josh doman and we're playing games on our phones while we wait for our teacher to return to class. Im not really learning anything in this class that i didnt already know. Im mainly just doing it for the insurance stuff. Im already a pretty pro driver but i cant wait until i get my g2 so i can hit the streets without having to bring a parent. Its really quite right now and all i can hear is the sound of the clock ticking. Its kind of akward. My phones about to die so i gotta go. Cya later!!

Late Night Blog

I like blogging late at night because i get really bored and hungry at night so I can't sleep. When this happens I go to my kitchen and make myself a pinini. For Christmas my mom got a pinini press and since I can't really cook anything fancy, I make myself pininis. My favourite pinini to make is a pinini on an onion roll with either sliced steak or roast beef and then you put some shredded pepper jack cheese on top. Another good one is when you make fajitas by putting olive oil on the inside of a sub roll and then fill it with grilled chicken, sauteed peppers and onions, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Here's the website where I got these recipes: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes-and-cooking/50-panini/index.html . They also have tons of  other great panini recipes. Another food that I love is steak. My favourite kind of steak is filet mignon with sauteed mushrooms and onions topped with red wine sauce. Just thinking about it is making me hungry. One time I had a bad experience with a filet mignon. Last year I went to a really fancy restaurant and I ordered a $50 12 oz filet mignon and when I got it, it was almost 4 inches thick. When I ate it, it was disgusting because they hadnt cooked it all the way through because it was so thick so it was blue in the middle. I don't think I want to go to that restaurant again any time soon.

Things That Bother Me

Thinking about all the people that make me mad when I go longboarding has got me thinking about other things that really grind my gears. One thing that bothers me is when all my teachers do tests and assignments on the same day (like what happened this week). This always happens to me and all of my friends. Sometimes I think that there is like a secret group or something  that all teachers are in and they get together and talk about how they can make their students as stressed as possible by planning assignments and tests on the same days. Another thing that really bothers me is when people walk slow in the hallways of my school. It's like whenever I'm in a hurry to get to class, there's always at least 5 people in front of me walking super slow. Finally, the thing that bothers me the most is when people say things that they think makes them sound intelligent. For example, SOCIAL SCIENCES IS NOT A REAL SCIENCE LIKE PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY. Im not going to mention who said that because I might offend someone. Also, Im sorry if I offended anyone by saying that. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Longboarding Season

Spring is almost here and for me that means that it's almost longboarding season. For those who don't know, longboarding is skateboarding but you use a skateboard that is really long, however, longboarding is very different from regular skateboarding. Longboards are a lot easier to ride than regular skateboards because they provide more stability. They also have huge wheels. These two things combined allows you to travel at speeds much faster than a regular skateboard. The current speed record for longboarding is 130km/h and that's just from the force of gravity from going down a huge hill. Also, to me, longboarding is a lot more peaceful. There is nothing more peaceful than longboarding down a nice hill on a summer afternoon with some friends. The thing that makes me mad is that I can never go out longboarding without someone yelling at me to get off the road. Even when we ride on the sidewalk we get yelled at. One time we were longboarding downtown in Waterdown on the sidewalk to Mcdonalds and we got stopped by a cop. He said that we weren't even allowed to ride on the sidewalk. Apparently there's a law in the Hamilton region that doesn't allow longboarding on sidewalks or city streets. If you disobey you can be fined $100 or go to jail. I'm not really sure where im supposed to longboard now because that pretty much covers everything. I hope longboarding will be better this year.

My Week

Today I have decided to do 4 blogs. Partially because I like to write about random stuff but mostly because I need 4 blogs for computer science tomorrow. This week has been pretty tough for me. On Monday I was up really late working on my computer science assignment and studying for a big, 2 day physics test. My partner had already done his part for the assignment and since I'm a procrastinator I like leaving everything to the last minute (like these blogs). On Tuesday I was also up really late study for the 2nd part of the physics test, my computer science test, and an english test. On Wednesday I had a break with no homework so I got some video game time but today I have english homework and I have a physics assignment due tomorrow. I'm so glad it's Friday tomorrow!!!
