A New Toy!!

First off sorry for the delay in my post. Second of all, I figured I would wait until I had something really exciting to write about. So I think this one takes it. Ok so it all started when my uncle came over to my house on saturday, April 25. He said he wanted to show me this car he had saw on e-bay that was right in Wantagh. It was this nice 1970 Oldsmobile 442. So on Monday I come home from school and he's over again, and my mother says "guess what Uncle Carmine bought" I said "The 442"? He said yes. He said guess what I'm selling. Let me stop right there, my uncle has this custom dune buggy since 1991. I've always loved that car. Ok so I immeadiatly say "the dune buggy"? He said yes. I replied "How much"? So not to take up much more time he sold it to me for $1000. That was Monday, on tuesday afternoon I cleaned our driveway with my aunt and some of my brothers in like 2 and a half hours. He brought it over that night. This car is so cool. I love it. Here are some pictures of it:
The exhaust is REALLY loud. I was driving with Franky that night and as I passed a car parked on the side of the road the alarm went off. It was funny. I was also parked next to Rocco's car just idling in nuetral and his went off also.
It's a four speed so he had to teach me how to drive it before he left. I did pretty good. I got it going in the first try!. I just have to practice a lot more. It also has these two air horns. One really loud one like a truck and one that sounds like an old car from the 30's.
On the front of the buggy there are two chrome head lights, smaller matching turn signals, the air horns and these chrome bull horns. They look pretty cool, I think.

I cant wait to get it on the road and drive it.

What is that? Thats probably what your saying right now. Well what does it look like? A toe, a deformed finger... Those are good guesses but there wrong. It's actually a....

SWEET POTATO!!
It looks nasty, well, because it is. So we were having dinner (either Christmas or New Years) and we found this among the plate of baked sweet potatos. I took these pictures and I thought I should share them with all of you. A little late but I forgot all about it, sorry. Enjoy :)

Why people are overweight...

Dominic told me of this website that is full of just pictures of food that people have made or are sold in resturants. It's pretty scary because people eat it too! There's nothing gross execpt for the different combonations of ingredients (mostly bacon). Some, I guess could taste alright but I wouldn't try it (too unhealthy). The website is www.thisiswhyyourefat.com Just look at it, it might make some of you hungry.

Poetry...

For my english class I had to write a poem. So last minute I wrote this:
"A Sad Day"
When I woke up in the morning,
I noticed that my brother was sad,
I asked him and he said "I am in mourning,
Something happened that is very bad."
He wanted to be left alone,
I told him "I'm here for you bro.",
He said in a low tone,
"She was so young, you know."
I asked him, "Who are you talking about"?
He just replied, "It was so untimely",
"Who died!" I said with a shout,
He said, "I'll tell you", I said, "Finally!"
"It was Trish,
My Goldfish."
It's supposed to be a sonnet (whatever that means) so I just did my best. I don't know I just hope I get a good grade.

Just to catch up...



Butchy Boy in a deep stare.



My mother put some old food outside for the birds. I then looked out there when I heard some commotion. I saw these seagulls enjoying themselves on some leftovers, but that was short lived...
...When butchy went out there to scare them. He then decided to help himself to the rest of the food. He's like a bully on the school play ground, he always does the same thing, scares the animals then eats the food.
Franky and I decided to bury Angelo under the snow. It was funny!!

Don't Fuss with Russ...

On New Year's Day we had a bunch of people over our house for dinner. After dinner there were arm wrestling matches. I made this video of Russell totally destroying everyone in arm wrestling. In the second video the man is a Orazio, my cousin Daniella's cousin, he was cheating by using his weight and pulling down on the counter, but he still could not beat Russell. Enjoy!! (You might want to turn the volume up a bit)

Insignificant yet Beautiful...

This evening I was outside by the lights in front of our house. I was going to make a snowball. So as I put my hands down on the snow something caught my eye. Something glistening in the light. I knelt down to take a closer look and to my amazement I saw this:
So I ran into the house, grabbed my camera, and took this picture. I never saw a snowflake close up like this. My mother pointed out that it looks almost like the Star of David, and it does.

Some interesting riddles...

Here are some riddles that I thought might be fun for you all to try and figure out. If you think you know the answer(s) tell them to me in a comment. After about a week I will post the answers. So, good luck!!
1. Father and Son
The sum of the ages of a father and son is 66. The father's age is the son's age reversed. Furthermore, the father's age is a multiple of the son's age. How old could they be?
2. New Door
Rearrange the letters in 'new door' to make one word. I will only accept 1 answer.
3. Dark car spotting
A man walks from his hotel room to the car park across the road and could spot his jet black car over 400 yards away without electrical aid or the aid of moonlight or streetlamps. Assuming the valet parked his car and he did not know where it was but insisted on finding it himself, how could he see it?
4. Letters
Look at this sequence of letters and then tell me what the last three letters should be.
O T T F F S S ?
5. Cowboy
A cowboy rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights, then leaves on Friday.
How is this possible?

Shopping spree...

A lot of people go on shopping sprees and buy clothing or things like that. Not me. Today I went on my own type of shopping spree. A lot of you know I like cars, so what do you think I bought... Well, I'll tell you, I bought myself a brand new Flow Master exhaust system for my Camaro. It's a whole system with a new muffler, dual stainless-steel outlets, and everything else I need. I would never of bought it so soon, but this other part I have for the car won't work properly with out this whole kit. So why not? The car will look and sound Amazing when this is done. I'm going to try to get them installed very soon, like tomorrow if possible.
