Tal's Journal: Diary of a Witty Kid

Chicken Potty Training...and other stuff...hopefully.

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:39:59 PDT

Alright, as the title states, you may be confused. My mom's friend, let's call her Laura. Now Laura here called our house, and I picked up the phone. She, asked me this:

Tal: Bond Residence, Tal Bond speaking.
Laura: Hey Tal, do you know how to potty train a chicken?
Tal: What?
Laura: Potty train a chicken.
Tal: Is this a prank call?
Laura: No, I am dead serious.
Tal: Hold on, looking up on Google.
Tal: (I told her how to do stuff with the chicken. Here's a link to the website for training chickens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIoXhNcMgi0&feature=related)

Anyways, other stuff happened, LIKE I AM GOING TO UNITED WEEKEND! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!

See ya next time!

Tal.

P.S: I may try Minecraft LP's again! ;)

SEGWAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 12:03:45 PDT

My TOOD is Segways. They're awesome. I really want one really badly. If you don't know, these are awesome little scooters with oversized wheels. Here's a picture:

These are AWESOME. You lean forward to go forward, back to go back. The handlebars turn.

Price tag? $5,000. I really want that kind of money.

:D

I loved going to church yesterday! It was great! If I may, I can leak some info out from the Bullpen...

The Loft Card is making a comeback!

The Loft Card was a card given to new members for a free soda and candy bar. We are still thinking about letting the Card come back, but its almost a sure fire fact! As soon as I can edit it however (we don't sell soda anymore).

Anyways, I really hope to play 9 Squares again. That was AWESOME! By command of Tal Bond, go bug Andrew Evans right now.

And as of today...

BASEBALL! Rays VS Royals.

We win! 4-1 runs! :D It was awesome.

TOOD: Baseball.

Random Question: What was the biggest highlight of summer? Post in the comments!

Kindle Time!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 04:54:02 PDT

I bought my Kindle. I am going to detail the car today for $5 so I can get overnight shipping.

:3

Also, if you haven't heard, Nathan is undergoing surgery right now. He has a caved-in chest, and they're going to put steel rods into his chest to push it out.

It used to be worse, back then, they had to cut up your chest, and use their hands to push it up. Painful.

I want it NOW!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 07:06:42 PDT

I have $95 and I want,

Bloggie Camera
Kindle
DSi

Now. I almost scraped enough money for my Kindle! I could use some money...*hint hint*

Yes, I am working for it. No, I will not share.

Tweet! Tweet!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 05:10:52 PDT

That's right folks! I have a twitter profile! I had it for a while, but I am releasing it to the public!

Follow me!

@talbond

Anyways, I'll finally get to go to my first Boy Scout meeting of the year! I'm so excited. :3

Back to my Invention!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Fri, 27 May 2011 06:38:44 PDT

Remember a few posts back I made a little life simulation invention idea? I could improve on that. Some could have a chance of not getting a job, and will be in poverty. If you run out of food, you lose health. If your kids hang out around other kids, there will be a slight chance that a new common cold/flu will be made, but if one kid has the flu, one kid will get the flu also. They will have it for 7 days, and have less health. Adults can only get sick from kids. If you lose all of your health, you 'die'. This is one of the only reasons for the consumer to come and bring them back to life (re-activate them).

What really sparked my interest was the Nao robot. Check it out.

SCORE!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 19 May 2011 12:45:44 PDT

Guess what? I got a job at the Preschool VBS Volunteer! I told you yesterday, but a lady called me for information. I got the job with 3-4 year old's. Yay! June 5th 4:30 PM I will not be available till 6:15. If you wanted to do stuff with the 'cool kid' during that time; sorry!

Best day EVA! (I can't believe Firefox did not spellcheck!)

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Wed, 18 May 2011 17:38:03 PDT

Okay.
As you may know, I usually do not go out right at Wired (read: church). Dad said I didn't have a lot of confidence. So, I brought tons of confidence to Wired, and was the most popular! SCORE! Also, I am now volunteering for VBS Preschool. That means I am the teacher at Preschool. I help with the kids. 4 and 5 year old's are there. Yay!

About Mom's baby, the due date was passed, and no baby. Argh! I am going to lose my head if the baby does not come out by Sunday!

Josuha...no...Josuha...nope..Joshua? Yes! Joshua Awward! AH DANG IT!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Tue, 03 May 2011 12:34:01 PDT

Alright. I won a little prize I call...

The JOSHUA AWARD!

Applause. Yes. It is the highest award at IBCREC. That's our church recreational stuff. I think you get it for being a leader and positive. I was the only one. Easy win! And here is IBC's answer.
8. Awards. An Awards Night will be held, usually the Monday before the final game -- check the Registration form for actual dates. At this time all of our participants will receive a certificate and trophy for their participation. In addition, one person from each team will receive our Joshua Award for displaying consistant effort, sportsmanship, leadership and improvement with a Christ-like attitude.

Cool.

Anyways, that contest? The Minecraft Slot Contest I promised? Nathan gave Thumbs Up. Yes. The Thumbs Up. Not the thumbs up. The Thumbs Up. You have to be under 15 however.

Use this Application to enter:
Do you play Minecraft:
If yes, what is your username:
What is your role in Minecraft:
Age:

Not doing the name thing, your profile should be enough. You can enter your first name if you want to, however.

Okay! You only win if I approve of it and you play Minecraft. Good day!

Alrighty...How do I do this?

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Mon, 02 May 2011 17:56:41 PDT

Got a new program, Blender, trying it out now, 3D modeling. YEAH! It's GOTTA be easy...

Well. Woah.

Nah. Sorry if your computer just lagged. Uninstalling Blender...

I had a explosive time at camping. If you like fire ant bites. OMG. Pus everywhere.
So, anyways, I am having fun at home. It's not so bad. Just tiny little pus balloons. Writer's block. Argh.

How odd---Bonus Post!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 07:04:02 PDT

For those not in the know, I take blogging very seriously. I even put up ads for money. This blog was running for a couple of years and it only got $1.75. However, this is my most popular blog post:

http://talbondjournal.blogspot.com/2010/11/just-posting-out-of-blue.html

...What? I don't even play Roblox any more! Just Minecraft. So I also wanted to do something along the lines of a contest of sorts. My Minecraft server, uses Hamachi, so you have to download something if you want to play. I am still going to ask for permission from Nathan however, then I will add another slot. Playing is very hard. I WOULD add a Let's Play video of me and Nathan playing, but he does not want anything recording us. Well, remember that redstone engineering post? Second place. Wow.

To enter the contest, just comment! It's that easy!

Anyways, no computer.

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:43:18 PDT

I didn't get to work on Second Class because I was side-tracked on my computer. My family took away my computer time until I get it done. I can only do blogging, homework, Second Class stuff-muffins, and Physics. Huuuuge book of Physics. I need to do 10 pages a DAY. To tell the truth? I never really get around to doing it. I don't know why.

Let's see..... No TOOD today? Gosh.

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:11:27 PDT

I don't really have an obsession today. I don't know what to do today. I don't have baseball practice ATM, we can talk about that. I don't really like some members on my team, but one kid got into Intensive Care and we canceled Baseball. However...

The other hand, however, is that I got a new Minecraft skin! Skins change your characters' look by the way. Nazis are interesting, so I picked Adolf Hitler. I don't know why. I also switch from that to a smiling yellow guy in a suit.

Nathan and I are racking up a good roll here. Once I call him, I might do a contest of sorts to give you a player slot in the game.

Homeschool...has lost its' battle!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:41:03 PDT

Well, home-school has finally been beat down! Goodbye!

3 more days until home-school is finished! Once it is, I may not be on top of my blog as usual, but I will try to be as often as possible. What did I do today you say? Second Class requirements. It really helps me to see my requirements done in PowerPoint, and being on top of it, again. Argh.

Well, I can't think of anything cool, except the server between me and Nathan is a complete success! Yay!

Lazer Tag!... Um....something, something cool, something witty, gosh.

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 06:58:48 PDT

I can't think of a good title. Darn. First time in a row! Accomplishments Yesterday and Today:

Drink Coffee
Get Addicted to Coffee
Have a Caffeine rush
Have fun at laser tag
Miss out on more coffee

Well. I obviously DID NOT put Coffee in. I drank some coffee and now I am on a Caffeine rush. Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffee...!

Anyways, I went to Laser Tag last night. Well, it was REALLY fun! Quieter than Chuck E Cheeses, but better too! First, I missed about TWO games because of the long line, but I got in. It is very very exciting. Anyways, I got sniped in a couple games from the balcony; only thing I don't like. I went to the balcony in the last game and got major points however, it didn't make it better for the other team that if you get two kills in a row, WITHOUT getting shot, rapid fire mode turns on and you basically turn into the Terminator. It's really fun, and Nathan and I wanted to to Team Fortress 2 class style, with him being the Scout, hit and run, and me being the Spy, sneak attacking (check Google if you want to find out more). Didn't go well, but I kept to being a Spy. It was SO easy to sneak behind people and tag them in the midst of actual fog and the blaring music and screaming. You try finding out if someone is tagging you for free points. It's actually pretty easy when you are always firing, because a laser actually comes out. Not the invisible kind, the VISIBLE kind. Well, it ends every 15 minutes, so once you rack up a lot of points, you hear, 'Game Over man! Game Over!'. That pretty much ruins part of it. Well, anyways, there were a bunch of arcade games, so easy to win, and I saw a kid with about 1000 tickets all over him. Woah. Had fun a super bouncy trampoline with Brianna, a really nice girl that comes to Scouts, and the whole troop had a lot of fun. Well, anyways, that coke kept me up! It ended too quick however.

I have noticed I have a new follower! Thanks!

Post in the comments what your favorite Laser Tag strategy is!

120 posts on the wall...120 posts on the wall...put one up, write it down, 121 posts on the wall...

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:44:55 PDT

Alright. 121st post! Let's get something interesting going around. How about Hamachi! Nathan and I are going to use it. It makes a VPN network, Virtual Private Network for you non-techies (do we have non-techie friends?). A VPN makes a private network for only people logging on to it with file sharing and stuff. It has a static IP address for stuff like...MINECRAFT! Dad doesn't want me to use OUR IP so we can use Hamachi's IP instead! Super private, with a couple walls of protection for our lovely server. Here is what the hacker has to do:

Find out our server. Some of us may leak it out...
Find out if we are using Hamachi. Once he does.
What IP do we use?
What is the username and password?
Are you sure?
Are you on the whitelist?
And finally, can we ban you?

So, seven walls of protection! Alright, lets get it on!

New game playing...and a tragedy.

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:01:40 PDT

Okay, NEW GAME! Ace of Spades. Its a game based off of Minecraft. Except it is a war between Green and Blue. GO GREEN! Anyways, it basically is a copy of Minecraft, but its cool.

And a game called Portal 2 came out, wanted to pre-order but Dad was too tired, and said the game would open up at 11:00 AM, but I told him a million times the game pack, the Potato Sack, has a special attribute. You see, the more people buy the Sack, the quicker Portal 2 comes out. It was released at 12:00 AM, not 11:00 AM. Why is this so important, you ask, it comes with a discount and the original Portal for free. Instead of the price for both in a pack at $45, its now, if you buy both, at $60. Ouch.

Anyways, homework is coming along great. Almost finished, then SUMMER! And babie. Yay.

My Invention (DON'T STEAL)

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:03:47 PDT

Okay, I just thought of a awesome toy. The AI Family Simulator or, Family Sim. Not a video game...
This toy, the Family Sim, will be the best toy in the universe. I am still writing plans, and some sketches. But Family Sim is totally in control. LITERALLY! No human touch needed! Check out this game from John Conway. As in the Game of Life by Conway, it uses a special AI to determine people. This uses some things too.

Unboxing reveals a instruction manual, 5 families, 5 houses, one business, and one grocery store. Each house, business, and grocery store, are buildings about 35 centimeters (I changed to metrics!) tall, and people are 30 centimeters. Each family has one father, one mother, one boy, and one girl. The kids are 20 centimeters tall, and the mother is 30 centimeters, and so on. Each person has a LED face, showing emotions. On their back, they have a LED screen, showing their emotion, name, and data values of hunger, boredom, bladder, and their tiredness. They will act accordingly to them. So if a man from Family 1 needs to go wee-wee, they run to the bathroom in their home, office, or other home. If they are hungry, the check their refrigerator in their kitchen, and eat what they are craving. If there is no food, or they are craving, which has a 20% of happening, they go to the store and buy random items and what their family are craving. But, they have to have money. Men go to the office and work most of the time cycle, which is 20 minutes. Day is 15 minutes, and night is 5 minutes. Men work for 12 minutes, then come home. When they sleep, unopenable ports on their legs open, and the bed shoots a plug into each leg; what is it? It is a charging port. This means they can go on till the end of time. Kids love to go play at others houses, and go to the grocery store. People walk along sidewalks and those little sidewalks that are on the road. People walk along these with special magnetic strips that guide them, or it could be a destination constantly moving. Anyway, there will be special expansion packs, that extend the roads to other places. Since people follow a road, so can the cars and trains in the Transportation expansion pack. A special coupon could be given to someone who buys five expansion packs, expanding their horizon.

Thanks for reading!

BIZTOWN ROCKED

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:37:16 PDT

BizTown kicks off! Most things go right, but read ahead to see what went wrong in this issue of TAL'S JOURNAL!!!

BizTown kicked off great. Past posts have talked about it, so you should know about it. BizTown placed me in a office, and piled about THREE POUNDS OF PAPERWORK! I pre-ordered my paper so it would be cheap, but it took a full MINUTE for them to pick up! BizTown has gone so-so though, McDonalds food was stale, and every kid was a brat! Mom has a picture of me standing in front of my business. Hold on. "MOM! CAN YOU EMAIL ME IT?" Hold one second.

-SNIP-

Looks like we can't get the picture yet, we will hold on. By the way, I didn't get to use my breaks well. EVERY COMPANY HELD ME FOR MY ENTIRE BREAK. I am still going next time, because I made a lot of frie-- What do you mean I can't go next year? Oh yeah. I'm too old. I can go to the summer camp though. Well, nothing much happened other than what I told you. Everything went without incident. Bye!

Lazy day START!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 13:23:26 PDT

Going lazy...nothing much.
Lazy day ignites today, here is my plan:

All day: Lazy start with Team Fortress 2 and some blogging.

Sorry I had to put you through that HUGE list, but I can't really think of a TOOD today. Darn.

But! Mom told me I could do my list of chores today. It consisted of homework and TOOD, and some other things like my suitcase unpacking and playing video games (I did that). It has been a really lazy day at BizTown. I am almost ready for next week!

Aviation is awesome

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:58:06 PDT

Planes are really cool, and flightmonkeys.com is one of the best kid-friendly sites to go to. Today, I will talk about the four forces of flight.
The four forces of flight include:
Lift-Weight
Thrust-Drag

Notice how these four are paired. The lift has to counter the weight. If the lift is the same or lower than the weight, it won't fly. When you drive to/from work today, stick your hand out the window. Do you feel the drag? Planes go through this everyday. They have to have more thrust than the current drag. The faster it goes, the higher the drag. Soon, the drag will be the same as the thrust, so it will stop accelerating. Here's a picture:

AVIATION BADGE ACHEIVED!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 12:20:00 PDT

YES! I went to the camp-out, excuse me, camporee. A camporee is where a bunch of troops camp together.

All the troops were foul-mouthed, and I played British Bulldogs with one troop. Ever play Sharks and Minnows? This is a super-drugged version. Instead of tagging, you have to pick them UP IN THE AIR and yell, 'THREE TWO ONE BRITISH BULLDOGS!' then throw them on the ground. Ow. I was trying to pick Eli, a friend, up in the air with another kid, then a guy came around and threw my head into the kid's head. Guess what the kid said? 'F***!' I have a huge bump still. It was pretty fun, and I used a new thing in my blog. Remember you saw the first sentence or two and had to click read more? That is a jump break. If you wanted to look at my posts and just skim through till you saw something interesting without spoiling it, the breaks do great.

TOOD? Aviation. I can fly right now!

Lucid Dreaming CONTINUES!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:09:28 PDT

I have yet to induce (read: make) a lucid dream yet. This is my total obsession for the week, but I have other things going on.

Aviation camp tomorrow! YAY! I may not be able to post until Sunday at maybe 5:00 PM. Ouch.

Sleeping problems! I have natural sleeping disorders, or insomina, or just can't sleep or anything! I can't go to bed! This happens every night, but this night, I didn't get tired until FIVE HOLY CRUDING AM!. That's right. 5:00 AM. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I gotz a Facebook Page!

noreply@blogger.com (Tal Bond) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:10:25 PST

Yay! Go on Facebook and go see it!

I got great news! The printer finally works! Now I can post more pictures! I still can't find the Sketch Book though, but stick around! I WILL get around to it!

Okay, Minecraft updated! It has beds, which skip night and set your respawn point. Well, if a mob (animals or baddies) touches your bed, you will wake up, and no time will have passed. Well, there is a large chance a zombie or a skeleton will spawn in your house on your bed. Zombies don't hurt anymore, and when you die, you get:

64 Torches
Diamond Pickaxe
Diamond Axe
Diamond Shovel
One bed
Stack of 63 beds

Beds can not stack, so there is a problem here.

Well, see ya!
