83 is for 83 year old self

Yo eighty three year old self, or maybe younger I don't know. I am thirteen right now and I am talking to you seventy years into the future. Right now I am just little Jordan in 7A and this is my blog post to me. When I was thirteen I had somewhat curly/messed up hair. I was one of the short people in my class. Every lunch we would go outside to play football. Mondays were Eastside Mario's hot lunch, Tuesdays were Little Caesars which was pizza that was awful, and Fridays were Subway.


Right now it is Wednesday May 12th 9:30 am exactly. When I was in grade seven I wanted to be a doctor, but I don't know if I am a doctor in the future or not if I am yaaaaaaa!
This year 2010 has started off well lots of cool things have happened like the Olympics. Canada won the gold for women's and men's hockey. Last year in 2009 or 2008 I forget which the first black president was elected. His name was Barack Obama.


So 83 year old self I hoped you get this blog because it would be totally awesome if you did.
So in the future have fun, stay awesome, and be a Fuzlong.

J is for journals or blogs????

Ok journals they are good, but blogs are even better. I'm not trying convince everyone to like them I'm just giving the reasons why I like them. Just a starter reason is the name, I mean blog come on that is better than journal. A starter reason for why I don't like the journal is because you have to write, with a pencil! I know you all secretly dislike handwritten things.


So first, Journals now what is wrong with them? They are so boring I mean it's paper. Black and white together on a piece of paper. There is no fun to it, no pictures, no linking to another site, no typing! Another thing is that it goes to your teacher and you don't get to share it and if you do you have to go in front of the class and nobody want's to do that.. Don't forget the most important reason they are bad, they are so much harder to do.


Now for my favourite things blogs. They are just the best thing someone could possibly think of. The reasons they are the best thing someone could possibly think of is because there is so much to do with them. You can as I mentioned earlier in the journal section (which with journals you can't do) link to another site, add a picture, and you get to type! Another reason is that they are so colourful. You can change the text, the background colour, and the type of display. The most important reason for blogs being better is that they are so much easier!


So those are the reasons I think blogs are so cool. I hope you switch to liking blogs if you don't. Don't feel you have to. You should though. Anyway just make your own decision. Make a good one. :-)

Life lesson: Blogs are awesome

B is for Boats

Boats, they are the one thing I loved when I first saw them. When I was old enough I was compelled to be behind the throttle(for my age it is a throttle) of a aluminum motor boat.
When I was almost turning eight I started studying for my boat licence test. I was nervous because if I didn't get I would be so upset. When the day of the exam came I was ready to succeed but in the pit of my stomach I had a feeling I knew I might not get it, but When I was called to right the exam I was ready. It started off with a few questions that were basically all common sense. Then the questions started getting more difficult, they were questions about if you pass a red buoy do you go left or right? But it depends on whether you are going up stream or down stream. Other questions were like who has the righter way if you are on the green side of the nose lights? nose lights are the lights at the tip of the boat that are red and green.


Two weeks later after the test they sent the results to my cottage, so the weekend after school we went up to my cottage. When we got there I saw that under the door was a yellow envelope instantly I knew what it was, before my dad could open the door I ripped open the envelope to find a platinum licence engraved saying Jordan Furlong licenced operator. I was so happy, finally, I got my licence. My dad still reminds me that it is amazing I got it when I was eight years old.


The weekend after I got my licence I went up to the cottage again. When I got there I saw a trailer that said Paris Marine Boating Company (PM BC). There was a guy standing by the trailer and he pulled the cover off of a new 9.9(power of the engine), blue, and shiny Fisherman Aluminum Motor boat. The minute I saw it I instantly wanted to take it for ride and I did. From then on the one thing for me to get away is get into my tinny (that's slang for Motor boat that is aluminum) and drive off.
