If I could redo any day in my life, it would be when I got sick in whistler. (June of last summer)

I had a great opportunity to ski in the whistler blackcomb glacier at a summer freestyle ski camp, and got sick, mostly because I was dumb and didn't eat well or dress warmly. I ruined 3 out of 6 good days of skiing. I can only wonder the possibilities of what I might have learned in the park, while I was moping around for half a week.

Another reason I would redo this day, is because if I wasn't so careless I wouldn't have gotten the same sickness two other times during the summer. Also taking away from my normal summer camp experience.

I learned that when I'm on my own I have to be responsible if I want to stay safe and healthy. But whistler could have been even more incredible if I could redo that day. Plus, while I was sick my friends learned a lot of new tricks and stuff, making me want to catch up, but never really being able to progress as much as them. Life's like that though, and nobody can time travel, usually there's at least one good thing that comes out of a bad one.

Super Hero:what would my name be, what would my powers be, why.

Hello, my name is Armadillo Man. I am a super hero, with mind blowing, incredible powers. Like most super heroes, I have an arch enemy, Elfio. Don't underestimate him, he's small, fast and extremely powerful, with a sick mind.

I must tell you, being a super hero is no pica-nic. All I can say is that I told you a lie, I got completely shafted on my powers. All I can do is roll around in my shell and withstand explosions! Man, oh man, do I wish I could have some awesome powers like Spiderman or Batman, or Flash. I'm just a low quality, bubble gum comic 'super' hero. I'm more like an 'average' hero.

Why. To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I'm a super hero I don't do anything! I've saved a kitty from a treehouse! There was a ladder leading to it too! So don't ask me why I'm a super hero. I might as well turn in my shell and become a normal man thanks for listening.

Who would I be?

If I could be anyone for a day, I would choose Homer Simpson. I know what your thinking, a stupid cartoon character? Pffff, But if you think about it, how fun would it be to mess around in cartoon world!? You could boost Homer's rep by not making stupid mistakes. For example, forgetting the kids at home when you go on vacation. Although he goes through tremendous amounts of pain on a daily basis, its usually easily preventable.

Some things I would do in cartoon world, is break every law I possibly could and then run from the police and do ridiculous cartoon things, like jump off cliffs and stuff. Why not? Your a cartoon character! Plus you could do stuff that only adults can do. AND, you can eat ANYTHING! Homer's already fat, who cares, you can eat anything!

I would probably spend all my money in carton world too, just to make normal homer mad when he gets back. Id buy a new car, new clothes lots and lots of food, and buy crazy stuff on ebay, then I would bring it back with me when I get back to normal world. Cartoon world would be awesome wouldn't it.......

As Usual.

Hmm. First week back from Xmas vacation and work begins to pile up as usual. We are assigned a blog post. I don't really know what to write about or how to write it as usual. I'm not sure if this is the best way to write a blog post for English class, as usual. But for ONCE, I'm enjoying writing this so far.

During the writing of... I guess the "Intro" to this weeks post I figured out what I want to say in my blog. Have you ever walked or drove by something/someone, not paying attention to it at first, but then, out of the corner of your eye, notice something and say "Did I just see what I think I saw?" Well, if you haven't that's okay, but for me, this happens quite regularly. This isn't exactly a problem, and can sometimes humor me at what a preposterous thought it was to even think I saw such a thing.

As usual, I do a dougble take, realize everything is as it should be and continue with what I'm doing. This ison't always the same way, sometimes when proof reading, or just reading something and I see spellintg mistakes I think perhaps when i put them together, there is a secret code. Seems silly, but what if there are secret codes embedyded in passages that most people don't notice, unless you have the eye of a spy and interpret these things withaout thinking. Gets you thinking, doesn't it.

As a matter of fact, I am almost (90% to be exact) certain that this happens to other people, maybe not as regularly as it happens to me but sometimes. See, I'm a very observant person, and sometimes I notice people doing a double take and then just move on as if nothings happened, just like I do.

To conclude, if you were wondering why I chose this unusually random topic, I don't know, I just did. And also to test your spy skills, I purposely made five spelling mistakes throughout the third paragraph of my blog post ---> (Take the obviously out of place letters from the spelling mistakes in the 3rd paragraph and get the secret code)
