Glasses!

Glasses

A couple of weeks ago I got a pair of new glasses that I need to wear for everyday life.

I'm really enjoying them!

They help me see better, the eye doctor said that I was a little bit near sighted.

Merry almost Christmas!

New Blog!

Making it after I write this update.

Death of the penny!

Death of the penny

The penny is dying!

The money making people are going to stop penny production after 2011.

So the joke of asking the cashier to give you your change all in pennies is over...

The penny will remain legal tender, but it will be next to impossible to find a store that accepts them.

The penny will be greatly missed.

R.I.P

Poverty Point. November special!

Last weekend we went on a homeschool field trip to a historic site called Poverty Point.

Poverty Point dates back to about 2100 BC - 1100 BC, the equivalent of American Aztec but before the time of King Tut.

( We stayed from Friday night to Sunday morning.)

We stayed in a longhouse (As I called it, it was long.) there was a boys dorm and a girls dorm, and then some private rooms for adults.

First, at Friday night, we went on a astronomy hike.

I saw the Big Dipper and The Milky Way and Jupiter.

It was amazing!

Your'e ecstatic to see ONE star in New York City!

(end of Friday)

Saturday morning we had pancakes for breakfast, Then we went to see a video at the P.P. Museum.

After that we went on a archeological dig, in a deep sandbox.

I'm not saying it wasn't hard, it was. Our tribe ( The blue panthers)

Found:

2 arrowheads,

2 atlatl (Spear) weights

1 axehead

2 Fishing net weights

1 cleaning tool

1 deer skull.

Then we went on a edible plants hike.

After that we threw Atlatls and played the ancient game, La Cross.

La crosse was used to settle arguments among tribes instead of war.

We went on a night prowl to go Spider sniffing ( Yes, I said spider sniffing.)

It's when you go into deep woods, put the flashlight on your forehead and the spiders eyes reflect back like moving glitter on the ground.

( End of saturday)

In the morning we cleaned up the dorms and packed the car up.

Happy Spider sniffing!,

Jackson

Daddy

Hello Acorn Lads!

Yesterday me and my Dad went on a photography walk around the neighborhood.

Welcome To the Garden District Walk, A Fall Special:

Like The Bold/Italic entry?

Anyway,

Me: ROLL THE PICTRUES!!

Blogger: ON IT!!!

Sorry, I'm having trouble with getting my pics where I want them to go.

Go to the top of the post before I say "Acorn Lads" to see all the pictures.

Jackson

P.S

The first thing that comes to mind when you first enter the Garden District is "Beautiful".

The Flowers, The houses, But, the most beautiful, is the trees.

Their branches reach over the streets and touch each other, like a tunnel of trees.

It's a wonderful neighborhood.

I really like it for It's Beauty and It's vibe.

Weeks 16-19 of puppyhood, Teenage Rebellion.

Hi, fellow lovers of pork!

Sad and unfortunately, Durga is entering the Teen weeks.

Like teenage humans, teenage dogs go looking for trouble, and they find it, they never fail.

Durga's new hobby is hurling herself on the couch, and you NEVER let her loose in Bed Bath and beyond, She's a champion linen stealer and president of the digging society.

And when we tell her to get off of the couch, She gets off reluctantly, then breaks into songs of barking.

We still love her but, "Whew!"

Jackson

Crazy Adventure!!

Yesterday our friends invited us to go hiking at Tunica Falls.

http://www.letsgowalkinms.com/clark-creek-natural-area-hiking-trail.html

At first I really struggled. There were high walls and logs that I needed

to go over where the "I can't's" started rolling in.

As we got to the third waterfall it started to rain.

We thought there was no way out, we were wrong.

Our puppy Durga came with us on the hike.

We went up a VERY slippery slope.

All of the hills and cliffs were made of clay, and what happens to clay when it's wet?

After we got up the cliff ( Witch was not a marked place ) we miraculously found a dirt road trail called "The Primitive trail" Primitive trail is right!! the only way I could of known we were on a trail is because of the occasional white blotch on a tree.

We were lost for about two hours.

Finally we found a map!

But it said that the parking lot was literally across the whole forest, and we were walking in the wrong direction.

We had to go down that slippery cliff again, and it had been raining.

Then the "I can's" started rolling in.

We got down the slope safely.

We did a lot more walking to get out.

Then we got home to a bath and some Mac'n cheese!

The End

Dog

We got a dog not too long ago as a new addition to the family.

Recipe for the destruction of the ocean

In the beginning,
The ocean gave us Seashells,
Her babies.

We treated them kind and gentile.
As the divine gift.
She was pleased in the way we were treating her own.
So she gave us more.

In the present day,
The seashells are broken
forgotten
And thrown on the beach like they were nothing.

Mother Ocean senses this.
And when we leave the divine gift in the sand,
She swoops in and takes her babies back.
She keeps swooping in for she is blind.
But instead,
She takes the candy wrapper you threw on the beach yesterday.

-Jackson Schneider

Aliens.

I've always among others believed that aliens do exist. This photo may be real, or it might be a hoax. I don't know. But I do know that we are not alone. people are building supercomputers to detect UFOs trying to contact us. But what if they just don't want to? They probably don't believe WE exist. That we are the aliens. And we think their the aliens. The truth is, we are both right.

Aliens do exist, we are aliens and they are aliens.

We both share the same galaxy.

We should not think they want to eat our brains because they do not.

Your friend Jackson

Can your do me a favor?

I Don't have many followers. :(

So the favor I'm going to ask of you is, Tell your friends, your neighbors, your mailman, Everybody, About Stir and Sizzle!

Thank you all.

MY DAD WAS NOT MUGGED!!

My Dad's Gmail and yahoo accounts were HACKED!

They sent out an E mail saying that he was in London and got mugged.

Also they erased his contacts!

If this is the E-mail you received it is fake:

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes,my fam and I came down here to London,England for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

We’ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in less than 3hrs from now but we’re having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won’t let us leave until we settle the bills.

Am freaked out at the moment..

DO NOT RESPOND!

THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!

YOUR MAD FRIEND,

Hello lovers of meat!

Big news!

Da-da-da-da-DA!

Anyway, Bye for now!

Jackson

( No Vegetarians were harmed in this post.)

Herbs!

Good morning world and all who inhabit it!

When I was in Louisiana I found out what I want to learn!

Herbology!

You know: The study of healing with plants!

And since I'm in a good mood, I'll share one of my cures!

Mosquito bites:

You need: Peppermint. It could be peppermint oil or even toothpaste!

Instructions:

Put about two drops of the peppermint oil on a q-tip Or napkin

If you don't have P. oil use one drop of P. toothpaste.

Rub the q-tip/napkin on the bite.

In about 15-30 min It will stop itching.

In about 30-60 min it will start to go down.

And in about a day it will disappear!

Thanks for reading!

Your doctor,

Jackson

Baclava!!!!

Hello people of earth who own computers!

You know,

I had a doctors appointment on the 22'nd ( Today's the 27'th )

The doctor was really nice!

After Me and Mom got out of the doctors we went to Fatoosh. ( A middle eastern restaurant in Brooklyn )

At Fatoosh we both got a pice of Baclava! ( Honey, nuts all packed together with flaky layers of bread on top! )

It looked like this. ( Left. )

The top was flaky and the middle was sweet!

To create flweet! ( Flaky + Sweet = Flweet! The L is silent )

That's why Baclava is my favorite dessert!

MAD super post special!

Hello!

This is the Feb. special!

Its about our visit to the MAD ( Museum of art and design. )

Its over by Columbus Circle.

They had an Viola Frey exhibit on the 2nd floor!

Here's a picture of some of her work: (Above. )

http://www.madmuseum.org/

There is a link to the museums website.

This exhibit is called slash

paper under the knife

A strict story about slash
paper under the knife:

Well me and Mom wanted to take some pics in slash

paper under the knife for this post so we took one.

Then as we were about to take another, ( This was on no flash. )

A security guard walked up to us really fast then said that there was no photo taking in the museum!

None!, At all!

Not even with no flash!

N-O-N-E!

That security guard was mean!

Thanks for reading my Feb. special!

Love,

Jackson

PS

I got those pics from the MAD website.

My Birthday was 3 days ago!

I'm now 8!

Conquered my fears!

Yesterday I went to the National history museum!

We went to see the planetarium movie called " Journey to the stars " Narrated by none other than Whoopi goldberg !

Then we went to see the silk road exhibit.

The planetarium was a 100 foot tall ball that hung from the ceiling by really strong metal pipes.

( Don't worry! )

And we had to look up at the ceiling of the ball to even see the show!

The inside of the ball had about 80 seats it seemed.

All in a ring.

The ceiling was so high, it looked like the sky!

The last time I've been to the planetarium was when I was 3.

It was with my Uncle.

I cried 'cause I thought it was going to be loud.

He had to take me out after he already paid the tickets!

After that I had a planetarium phobia.

Until yesterday...

Your brave friend,

Jackson

Food inc. The documentary!

Food inc. is a documentary about where our food really comes from!

Tyson, Perdue, those are some chicken products that you do not want to buy.

Lets start with Tyson,

Tyson keeps there chicken in really dark houses so they never see sunlight!

They do that because the chickens grow faster in the dark.

Its all mass producing!

The chickens can't even walk three steps before they tump over!

Then there is Perdue ,

Perdue pretty much does the same thing, Perdue is acually a perdon't.

But even more cruel!

Once the chickens are ready for slaughter,

( This is even more painful to write then read isn't it? )

They literally throw them into the trucks!

So do not buy Tyson or Perdue!

Your sad friend,

Jackson.

P.S

I have a new bedtime rule!

As long as Im reading something I can say up till 10:00Pm!!!

Cool!

Movie review

Da Da da da da da!

JACKSON'S MOVIE REVIEW!

This time we are reviewing October sky.

I give it a 99.9%

This movie was heartbreaking in a way..

There were a lot of emotional parts between Dad and Son.

The plot was that there was this town that was really poor!

It was a coal town with a coal mine.

Few people survived in those mines.

But it was Homer's Dad's life!

With him the mine always comes first.

He wanted Homer to be a mine worker like he is.

But Homer wanted to be a rocket scientist!

He wanted to launch small rockets into the air!

( By small I mean model sized. )

And the whole movie is about him and three other boys don't want to be coal miners!

Strong

This is the most strongest pokemon card in existence it has a attack that has a damage of 200!!

Its called final blowup!!

It belongs to Cynthia, the campion!!!

Really cool huh?!

My room painted!

Before During and After

We threw out a lot of my old toys. ( Yay! )

And put away my stuffed animals for when I have my own kids.

I think the colors are great!

When we moved all my stuff out,

I didn't even know my room could get so bare!

That place had an echo!

Hope you like it,

Jackson

Re.soccer

Hey!

Let me tell you about soccer!

I think I left my butt on the field, because my coach ran it off!

It was so tiring!

The field was indoors.

And professional size too!

It sort of looked like a hockey field 'cause it had a wall made of metal around it about the size of a car in height.

Then it had another wall the same size on top made out of plastic.

Then a huge net that came down from the ceiling all the way to the plastic wall.

Soccer

Hi!

Today I have soccer at 12:00 noon.

Its all the way at pier 40!

Which is a long train ride!

But I think its worth it.

But I don't know.

Maybe it could be horrible!

I'll let you know!

Too many feelings!

Well a funny thing happened Yesterday....

I was saying goodbye to my class.
`cause I'm being homeschooled .
It went better than I expected!
But on the street with my Mom, I felt like I wanted to cry, laugh, and punch something at the same time.
My gut felt like it was a slot machine that would not stop.
