Monday with Sandy

Hi!~
Most of you have probably been busy preparing for hurricane Sandy by stocking up at the local grocery store or gathering up all of the household flashlights(my younger brother). Here where i am in Virginia  things aren't that bad, heavy rain and strong winds, not too bad for another Monday. Speaking of Monday's, one good thing that came out of this one was avoiding having to go to school(work for you sophisticated people). Although i did kind of want to go, a free afternoon in the house WITH electricity is never a bad thing. Sure, its still dark and gloomy outside but that's nothing some cup ramen and internet can't fix. For more information on Sandy's effects state-wise, http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/29/14781430-a-state-by-state-look-at-hurricane-sandys-impact?lite.
Happy Monday Guys!

"FRANKENSTORM"

Weather News to my Non-existent fans-
"Frankenstorm" otherwise more professionally known as Hurricane Sandy is expected to be big. I know right. OK real stuff now. It is a category 2 hurricane (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php). Since it'd be boring if i just told you all the boring facts, facts, and yeah that stuff, ill give you the most IMPORTANT stuff.

  1. It is supposed to last 5-6 days of which may or may not include, heavy rain, severe wind, flooding etc.
  2. The east coast is the one to get hit, and states like New York and New Jersey will get the greatest impact.
  3. NOAA’s Hydrometeorological Prediction Center: “HEAVY SNOWS POSSIBLE ON THE SOUTHWEST EDGE WHERE THE ONTINENTAL POLAR AIR RUSHES ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND ADJACENT LOWLANDS TO THE EAST”- I dont know what it means but i saw the word snow.
  4. It might be worse than 1991's "Perfect Storm" which left 13 dead and over $200 million in damage. 
Well there you have it guys~
P.S. Tip- Don't drive if you think the hurricane is just down the street, just saying.

New Apple Product

Just to start things off, i know im not the first person to mention this, blog it, or make some silly parody of it, but it seems like a good quick topic. Apple's i-Pad mini. When i first saw this the advertisement for it i thought it was a joke. "A small i-Pad"?, the made the i-pad to be big. Now its some kind of cross between an i-touch and an i-pad. Its like when you pour a little bit of lemonade mixture into water, it isn't quite lemonade and it isn't pure like water, its just about the worst thing you could get. The i-pad 2 with 16gb is $399, with retina display $499, $599 for 32gb, and $699 for 64 gb respectively while the new i-pad mini $329, 429, and 529 for the 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb respectively. Not much price diffrence, and for something smaller i wasn't sold. So yeah, i thought it was stupid.

Now since you've seen me rant on the newest apple tech, i guess i need to so why it isn't the biggest waste of money. The i-pad mini is just like the i-pad, but portable. And who doesn't love that?! I'd assume it's kind of like one of those big Samsung phones that are like as large as a tablet, but can't make phone calls. The biggest advantage i heard on the i-pad mini, was that it was great for games. Most kids(including yours truly) love taking their parents phone and draining their phone with a great mishmash of Angry Birds, Temple Run, Papijump, you name it. This might not be a cheap alternative, but its a possibility. For most phones such as the i-phone, most complaints are that the screen is too small to play any actual games, and the i-pad of course is too big. The i-pad mini's 7'9" screen is supposedly much easier to play games on and the experience is much more enjoyable. Hooray for kids.

I personally did not use this new product yet, and i might be completely wrong about everything. Just remember, i'm a middle-school-er, don't expect much.

Bye empty world!~

Good Morning My Empty World!
We're through Monday, 4 more to go! I hope you all had a great start to your week and that the Bears fans are happy (NFL football). For my not-existent fans out there, you might or might not know that i'm a bit of a superhero geek. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_UMVJ3wRqDg IRON MAN 3. Yeah, so quick synopsis of what i think. Iron man 3 takes place after the events of New York(The Avengers, go see it) and Tony Stark( Robert Downey Jr.) has built more armor's and suits and stuff like that. He is then attacked by The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) and thus we have a plot. If you want the official synopsis cause i'm not good enough, here, Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?I think that the trailer looks quite good, after having Facebook promotions, teasers, teasers for teasers, and all that good stuff. Looks like another explosive "Marvel" adventure!
Till Later~

Good Morning Empty World!
It's a new week, a clean slate, a fresh chance! In other words in Monday. Yup, the one dreaded day of the week that ends our weekends and starts another hard-working week. I'm in middle school and i don't like Monday, so i can't imagine how much the workers out there feel.
Although we all hate Monday  i think it gets a bad rap. I mean, one of the days had to go first and i guess he got the short straw, or lost the nose game or something.
But look on the bright side, it's only once a week right get it over with, and not to mention Monday Night Football~
Anyways, have a great Monday empty world!

Blog Post #2!!

"I'm back"- The Governator
Yeah, hi empty world! It's been about two weeks or so since my first post and all that stuff.  I guess i still have blogger's..block or something. Anyways, it;s Saturday Night! That means a new Saturday Night Live, which i don't really watch, but they always have interesting parodies of the presidential debates and it should be at least partially amusing. So yeah, i guess i'm out of stuff to say now...good night empty world!

Introductions

Hi everyone~
Although everyone's probably heard and seen this form of beginnings before, this is my first blog post and we better get this stupid icebreaker over with. My name is Christian Yoon and i am in 8th grade. I attend Longfellow Middle School and live here in Mclean, Virginia. See, that wasn't so bad.

Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed your Columbus day weekend, three days without school(or work) always goes by too fast. As you can see i also do not currently have a determined blog topic so if any of you out there who are right now not reading this have any ideas, that'd be cool too.

Well thanks for listening guys to this random middle-schooler . I hope i can post some better stuff later and improve at writing these kinds of things. Until then, i share these words to the empty ears of the internet and page 7610 on Google's search bar.

~Later
