Another Randomness

Hey it's me Connor on another one of As Connor Sees It. And since I can't find anything really specific to blog about I'm just going to do a bunch of stuff that I have wanted to blog about that are too small to put into one blog.

So first subject. We just went to great America with my brothers godmother Katie and we were so lucky to catch Great America because it was the last day that they were doing till next year. If you go on facebook there is a bunch of awesome pictures that you could find of the day. They even asked us to take a picture of us and all of the Peanuts gang because we were all dressed up as the Peanuts gang. Anyway my brothers and sisters were but I was dressed up as Claudio.

Speaking of Claudio I just got very exciting news. Coheed and Cambria and Between the Buried and Me are coming six days before my birthday. That is February 21. Daddy will probably interview them again so I will probably meet them again. And this time they are headlining. So freaking exciting.

Next subject. Also on Halloween night my Mom freaked out on a little kid who kind of hit my sister and she full on yelled at him. And she feels bad because she knows his parents aren't very nice to him but she lost control because she wanted to protect my sister because you know how I sometimes get angry when someone messes with my sisters but I am shy about it. He did the same thing to my sisters the other day and I said something but thats it. That is unusual for my mom because she is usually very peaceful and at that moment she freaked out and I guess she was not thinking first. Kind of a shoot first ask questions later moment.

And by the way I got a job that I haven't blogged about yet which I am surprised about. I have already done my fourth day. Technically it is an internship where I get a stipend. I am learning about business and how to sell things and I am getting lots of money. This is how I sell the bacon chocolate because most people say eew. "It's sweet at the start when you chew it and then you hit a piece of bacon and you get a little spike of salt." And then people say "Well you talked me into it. I want to try the bacon chocolate." You can find me at the farmers market every Sunday.

That is pretty much it. See you next time I blog.

A Sweet Peacock

Hey it's Connor on another one of As Connor Sees It. Today I'm going to be talking about something very important that happened while my mom and dad and sisters were at the store and they saw an older woman came out of the bathroom with her son and her son was saying things such as you don't know how to use the toilet and other mean stuff to her. He was swearing at her and scaring her for more than half an hour. She was crying. I can't believe I wasn't there. This girl had dementia and that's why my mother cried because it reminded her of her Pap and that girl had nothing to do about it because she was confused and scared and she couldn't do anything about it. My mom offered to call adult protective services and my mom said are you scared? I will call adult protective services if you would like. And she said yes and she was scared and she said yes call adult protective services. And my mom kissed her on her cheek and the man pushed my mom and drove off. We were trying to do some research on this lady. Her name was Peacock. I feel bad for her and sad for her and I hope somebody helps her and the cops get the man who was abusing her. I hope someday she will be happy and without that guy or that he will turn a new leaf and stop abusing that woman because I think he went home and said stop embarrassing us it is all your fault, stuff like that. He said more mean things to that lady. But my mom called the police right after they left. She gave them the license plate number but she didn't know their address. My mom was crying and thinking of her pap and how sad he was about having dementia and that lady was helpless and couldn't do anything about it and we couldn't do anything about it and we tried everything. I hope they catch the man who was abusing her and I wish her the best. We are thankful that Pap had a family who did not abuse him and loved him for who he was even though it was probably hard to not make him upset and to not say things that would upset him. For anyone who knows The Secret you should send out positive affirmations for Mrs Peacock.

PS. I might be watching this cool new show of Dancing with the Stars All Stars. Bristol Palin is back. Go Bristol!

Grandparents Day...Really?

Hey, it's me Connor, on another one of As Connor Sees it.

I am here to talk about a new going crisis with my Grandmom. I didn't send her a present for Grandparents Day. First I'd like to say that my Mom found this information on Grandparents Day on the internet.

According to the National Grandparents Day Council, the holiday is intended to make children aware of "the strength, information and guidance older people can offer." In addition, it is meant to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children. Although many see it as a day to give gifts to grandparents, it is appropriate for grandparents to give gifts to grandchildren on Grandparents Day, especially if they are gifts that honor family traditions.

My Mom put that in there for me.

My mom found information that the grandparents are supposed to give the child presents as well as the child gives the Grandmom presents. But I wasn't mad at Grandmom for not getting me a Grandparents Day present. But she was mad at me. She called me out on facebook and all of my cousins and brothers and sisters. I did not call her out for not getting us all presents. And I certainly did not call her out for the time she didn't come to my birthday party after she said she would. Or the time she said she was coming out here to visit and she didn't. There's lots of other times that I can't really recall but there are lots more things. There is one in particular thing that one of her friends said, that she said that she should forget my birthday now in return for forgetting Grandparents Day. I dont' even think Grandparents Day is even really a real holiday. We didn't even do anything for Grandparents Day except, I don't know, talked about it at the lunch table. And I'm grateful that she is my Grandmom and she cares about us, but a lot of the time she feels that she deserves more than she should. I could say things about a bunch of stuff, but I don't. I try to be polite. I try not to embarrass people. That would be very embarrassing. But it did embarrass me a little. I don't care what people think but it still embarrassed me because I don't even think it is a holiday. Is it really important? Because whenever we come to visit, we say hi, give hugs, and all different stuff to show our love. Why do we need Grandparents Day. We treat them special anyway. I'm not doing this just for me, but I am doing this for my brothers and sisters and cousins because it was them she called out too and they don't have blogs.

You Never Know When You Will Meet a Friend

Today I will be posting about the day I met my best friend. And just so you know, I have gotten the permission from him to use his name.

A few years ago I was before he moved here I was really sad because my friends Noah and Hunter were moving away and I was really sad because they were really good friends to me. But then after like a month or two, four new people moved in. One of them was named Quinn and I remember there was like a giant crowd of people so they could sign papers for the house and stuff and Quinn was tryig to smoosh his way through the crowd and I remember he got out on his scooter and he was like phew. We walked over to him and we introduced ourselves. And he said his name was Quinn and I remember thinking, "He has really long hair." He said, "Hey, yeah I'm gonna be moving here." And then months later we were like, going in his house, playing games with him, doing a bunch of stuff and eventually we were best friends forever. My mom and dad trust their parents enough for me to go in his house and go on sleepovers with him and go to the pool with him. He even took us to Great America for his birthday. He slept over here many times too. He's a really good friend and sometimes we don't get along but most of the time we patch things up quickly. It's never "Goodbye and don't come back." It's almost like we're brothers because we fight like brothers and get along like brothers and protect each other like brothers. And the best part is, he has a sister too which is my sisters best friend, and we get to hang out with them a lot and play a game that Rory made up. We're purposely renting a house that we don't even really like just to stay near them so that we can play every single day and not be "pen pals" or something like that.
That's basically it. See you next time on another one of Connor Sees It.

Randomness

Hi it's Connor on another one of As Connor Sees It. Thank you for reading.

I'd like to talk about that my Dad got a way big new promotion last week. And I am really proud of him. And I am really happy that he got that job because it's going to make life much easier in my house because he's going to be home more in the evenings. He is the Associate Director of Family Teaching Model Services. Or I call it, ADOFTMS. Haha. Mom thinks it is important to remember that her office is still bigger than his. Haha.

I know it's a year away, actually a year from September, but I am really excited that a year from September the Elio family is going to Disney World. I remember a bunch of stuff from Disney World. The laugh floor comedy club, and the Buzz Lightyear ride, and the Pirates of the Carribean ride, and much more.

I also overheard my Mom talking about Chick Fil A and his "No Gay People" issue. It is really mean and selfish because gay people it's not like they are a different species. They are not a different life form. They are not different from us. It's just that they like the same sex as you. I think that it is rude and I would be very sad for anybody who reads or sees or hears that Chick Fil A thing because what if you are a gay person. You can't do anything about it because you can't call the police on him, but he's giving money to organizations that say untrue things about gay people.

I am really excited for Friday night because I might be going to a Coheed/Iron Maiden concert and I am really excited about it because Coheed and Cambria is my favorite concert. And here's the catch. My Dad is interviewing them and he is going to take me in with him if he gets the interview! We may even meet Iron Maiden. Because they like legends and I like their stuff.

I guess that pretty much wraps it up for what was up this week with me.

P.S. I might blog about my trip to Great America this week on the next blog.

Opinions, A TV Show, The President and The Amazing Spiderman

Hi, it's Connor again. I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while. A lot of crazy things have been going on. Like I went to Great America, which I will separately blog about another time, and Ben got his "scramble" which is a cut on his foot. And my friend came for a visit from another state. And I went with my friend Quinn swimming a bunch of times. And a bunch of other things I can't even list on the blog.

I've recently watched a show that my mom watched called The Kennedys. It's intense. And it's sad. There is a lot of drama. I can only imagine why she likes this show besides Jackie Kennedy is in it. I like it a lot too. Not because Jackie Kennedy is in it. I mean I like Jackie Kennedy too but that is not the reason I like the show. I like the show because of its realism and after JFK dies they continue the story on with the family and stuff and the investigation and finding the criminal. It is a really cool show. I actually learned a few things from it. I learned that if I ever become president, which I doubt, that I should put a bubble top on my car. But my mom won't let me become president and I don't want to anyway. Because she doesn't think it's safe. But whatevs. Also, it makes me want to cry when Mrs. Kennedy goes into the hospital room and sees Mr. Kennedy under a blanket and she starts holding his hand and crying and it's so sad. And I know it's pretty sad and all and I would hate it if my wife died, but I wouldn't want to kiss a dead person. Mom kissed Pap after he was dead. I'm not one to do that, though. She said Mam kissed Pap after he was dead too and it wasn't gross. That's just my opinion about it. I might change my mind after I grow up.

Also, something that happened that kept me from blogging, I went to see The Amazing Spiderman. And it was awesome. And hilarious. There was this really funny part where the lizard and Spiderman were fighting in a library and the librarian was Stan Lee and he was just listening to music and there was an epic fight behind him and he just walked away like there was nothing happening. And it was also very violent but not as violent as the Avengers. I might blog about The Avengers later.

I want to give an opinion on this bully that has been bullying me for a while. I want to call her Zoey. I'm not going to say her real name because of privacy. She calls me names like 'retard,' which isn't person-centered, and she calls me other stuff, which is really mean which I can't say on the blog because I know other kids may be looking at this. She's older than me. I feel embarrassed about talking about it because she's a girl and even if she were to hit me, I wouldn't hit her back. I can't even defend myself against her because she's a girl. She comes from a very sad family and I feel sad for her in a way, but that's not a good way to express her sadness in front of people. But I know that's very hard and I feel sorry for her.

That's basically it. I just wanted to get all this stuff off my chest. I am sorry for not blogging, especially to Uncle Bobby because he always wants me to blog and I thank him for that. I'll try to blog more often. Thank you, good night! Haha.

Happy Mother's Day

Hey, It's me, Connor, on As Connor Sees It.

It's Mother's Day again for the 11th time in my life. And my mom is not feeling well which is sad because I really wanted to do things with her today and stuff. Thankfully we are going to walk around downtown Los Gatos because she's just waiting for her headache to go away. Hopefully it will.

I'm happy that my Mom's my mom because she is so nice to us. I'm going to watch Sense and Sensibility with my Mom tonight. We both like Pride and Prejudice, the good one. I saw clips of the A & E one online and it looked cheesey, so I call the other one the good one. I hope she likes her present because she really deserves it. She's a good Mommy. She's really pretty and I'm proud of her for losing weight.

Last night I feel really sorry for Mommy because she got really sick when she was out with her friend on the way home.

We have a lot in common. We both love to read and I love that she is so nice. And I love how happy she gets with us when the house is clean. She's about to open her presents after my Dad is done doing something. So, see you later.

Happy Mothers Day, to Nana, Mammam, Aunt Carlene, Grandmom, Aunt Kortni, Aunt Denise, especially my godmother Kelly, and all mothers.

Another What I've Been Up To, For Uncle Bobby.

Hi. My Uncle Bobby requested another blog so I'm blogging another what I've been up to.

As you might not know or might know, my mom went to Pennsylvania in November because Pappap was getting really sick because they said he was not going to make it. They were right. It was very sad for all of us. And she left the day after Thanksgiving. She literally got up in the morning and got on a plane. He was very healthy for his age, but his time was about to come to an end anyway. So I'm kind of happy that he passed away because he was going through a lot of suffering so I am glad that his misery is over and he is in Heaven. I'm sad that my Mom was so upset about it, and I was upset about it too. Everyone was upset. I miss him very much. He was a good man.

I recently saw the Avengers. And it was really cool. My Dad told me they wouldn't come out with another one until I am at least 13. And it was super cool. It was funny and cool at the same time. Hulk whipped bad guys around and it was awesome. I'm glad that my brother got to go because he recently got a consequence of no violence at all because he said he was going to torture my sister's doll so he wasn't allowed to see any violence what so ever. And so I'm glad he got to go to the Avengers, so as all of you know who are probably reading this, it is probably PG 13, because most Marvel movies are PG 13, so I didn't think he would get to go because there is some violence in it. He's not even allowed to play with nerf guns or light sabers or any violence, or even Jem because there is some light slapping in Jem.

All people who are reading this probably know what hazing is, right? Well, I have grown to hate hazing. It's the worst thing besides bullying. But it is a kind of bullying but it's worse because some people think it's an OK form of bullying, even the military. People have died from it. Some people made people climb up a ladder and for every ladder piece they took a shot for every bar they went up, and they got so drunk they fell, and died. And in the military it's torture. And sometimes it's just a small thing like dressing someone up in girls' clothes, or a sticker that says "I'm miserable," but even that is bad and illegal. Policeman are supposed to enforce the law. I think that people should stand up to hazing and if you see someone do it, do not let them do it, do not participate, and get someone to help. Even a small thing, like putting a sticker on you, it's still bad, because it can get worse and it should be stopped.

Now, less about other things, more about me and my family. Ronin has been growing a lot. He can now say multiple words, such as apple juice, he can say all of our names, he can run around and jump around, and he is crazy. And as you can expect, Ben has gotten more psycho. Riley-Kate and Reagan are still getting on my nerves. They come in my room without asking and I hate it. Rory listed the things he didn't like about me today. It really hurt my feelings. And Daddy's interviewing Dragon Force and Huntress today, and he might get Coheed and Cambria and Three, which is totally awesome because I love Three, I love Coheed and Cambria, I LIKE Dragon Force, but I don't even know Huntress, but I think they are good.

That's it for today. I will see you some other time eventually when I blog next time.

Burning Questions

So first of all, I'm really interested in the Centralia Mine Fire. I've been seeing pictures on Google. It's creepy. All the houses there are abandoned. My godmother Kelly's family used to live in Centralia when it all first started. Kelly's graduation celebration was in Centralia. It was started in a mine which was filled with coal, and when you light a piece of coal, it starts burning and burning and burning, so that's why it never stopped for years. Centralia has mines under all of it so they couldn't put it out. There's gases everywhere in Centralia in the mines and that makes it dangerous, such as carbon monoxide. All the roads are closed in because they could collapse because of the fire under the road.

Second of all, my favorite band, Coheed and Cambria, lost their basist because he was in an armed robbery. He was robing a Walgreens pharmacy. That's really sad because I really liked the way he played bass. Mom thought it was terrible that he stole stuff from Walgreens when he could just buy what he needed and I said he would never have done that in his right mind, he was was just drunk or high, no doubt. This was not the answer my Mom wanted me to say and led to Mom saying that she doesn't want me to see this band in October. I think that since they kicked him out of the band, I should still see them. I think the bad influence is gone and not in the band anymore. Write to my mom and tell her to let me go to the concert in October.

What Have I Been Up To?

Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while. I have been up to many things these past months and it's been really wild so I haven't been getting on the blog in a while. I'm going to blog at least once a week now.

Two months ago I got my ears pierced. It kind of hurt a little but I got over it once I got out of the store. Some people might say it's a girl thing that I got both of my ears pierced, but I think that that's just what some critics say. I think that I can do whatever I want with my ears. I have been into dyeing my hair a lot. For a while I dyed it blond but now I dyed it back brown and now I'm dyeing it black. Speaking of dyeing hair my mom also dyed her hair black and it looks really pretty. But other people don't think so. My brothers and sisters didn't like it at first and neither did I.

I saw Dori at work sometimes. It was a good visit and we had a lot of fun. And a lot of laughs. We were in her mom's office talking about some funny shows and playing some games.

Me and Rory have been having a lot of fun over the past few months with his Ratchet Games. It's really fun. He makes a lot of characters that are really cool.

Ronin has gotten very smart. He's actually the smartest baby I've ever met. And my mom, I'm really proud of her for losing weight. She looks great. My sisters have been getting on my nerves. And Ben is just plain funny. For examples. I can't lie down on the ground without hoping he won't stomp on me. And it's really funny when he says "EA Sports it's in the game" and runs at me and tackles me.

That's all for today. See you next week on another As Connor Sees It.
