School's Out... and Back in Again

Hi, this summer is awesome... warts and all... but, since I'm getting homeschooled. I'm getting a lot of stuff to go on my curriculum. You see it's awesome how you can go to school at home. We actually thought of it because we're so busy now with my auditions, and Ms. Carrie's acting classes, and all the kids that want to play with me at dad's office. But it's weird, we used to laugh at homeschooled kids.

So, nowadays we're getting back to Ms. Renee Kemper's voice classes to work on getting into Narnia. Last time we met at the "non-constructed" part of Playhouse on the Square, she said I was really good with my vocals on my songs and warm-ups.

Yeah, summer begining to ending by now, sorta. But I'm trying to last the fun till August. Only, this summer's gone by, especially with the death of Michael Jackson, the new specials on TV (ex., He Could Be the One, Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana), and all the fun I'm having. Especially the Lincoln Log mansion I made today.

I'm also looking forward to seeing G-Force, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I woulda' seen already but I've been waiting to go at the right time with Braxton. The movies... I haven't really had time for this summer, but I'm hoping to get back to that when dad gets a bit more patients this year.

Well, to cut this blog short, have a happy end of summer this July. Watch G-Force and I'll be back soon. Have a happy day from us at Journey to Tennesee.

Fire Up Independence Day

Maxwell in the house. What's up home-dawgs. If I'm not clear... tell me. Tell me, dudes. Anyway, today's the 4th of July. Things are awesome especially since yesterday I saw awesome fireworks. One even looked like Mickey Mouse which was really cool. Even though it wasn't Disney World fireworks. The fireworks only lasted for about 15 or 20 minutes or less, but it was still worth it.

Oh, and today I saw my Lakeland Elementary art teacher, Ms. Orange. It is a bit weird that her name's a color and she's an art teacher. I showed her a bit of my summer artwork, like the owl mask I made at Scout Camp, the picture I drew of me and David playing wizards from my school, and my new comic books I'm working on like, Muppet Pirates of the Caribbean, and Mr. Pig.

This is an awesome holiday but not as much as Christmas or Halloween. This Independence Day is so cool. Sam the Eagle, Muppet, would of loved it. But did you know it was the day that we of the United States adopted the Declaration of Independence? This day is known as the national day of the United States.

Now during the American Revolution there was a legal seperation between the American colonies and Great Britain (England) occuring on July 2, 1776 when the Second Continetal Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia in June. After voting for independence, the Congress turned it's attention to Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining the desicion with Thomas Jefferson as the lead author. Soon after revising and debating the statement. They finally approved it on July 4, 1776. Thus by 1791, Independence Day was born.

Wow, a little history lesson never hurt anyone. Hope I celebrate the 4th as much as you may be. Have a great 4th of July. Comment and see ya. Oh, 180 more days till 2010.

Schedule in Fun

Things have gotten a little bit more difficult this summer. I took a trip to St. Louis for two days this week. I've got three auditions I'm looking forward to doing, two are from the same theater company. And Dad keeps getting more and more and more and more patients... shall I continue. Maybe not, but I can fit it all into my schedule. Now, I would of blogged about the trip to Missouri, but I've had alot on my plate. But I'll always make time for fun.

While I was in Missouri, I saw, Annie, at The Muny with Mom, Kohl Haun, Kohl Haun's Mom, and Kohl's Grandma, who happens to live with them. Also their family had been dog-sitting at the time so I met a new friend of the family, Sammie, which was a boy dog, and we got along good... Well, once he sniffed me to make sure I was safe. Oh, and we also played wizards with Kohl and his little brother, Chase, a.k.a. Chuck. Or even sometimes a.k.a Adam??

I couldn't see David. He's really busy too with 4th of July coming up and all that jazz. I also had two appointments with my acting teacher, Ms. Carrie, the two days I was there. We had a great time too, studying my monologues, talking together, and hanging out with her, sort of a 'Korat' breed, cat, Luna, which means moon in Spanish.

Everything's working out, sort of. Me and Braxton are planning to go see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The latest PG-rated Harry Potter film since the Prisoner of Azkaban. Braxton's seen all the Harry Potter movies, even the PG-13 ones, and he has read all the books, too. Since he's read um', his mom says if he reads all the books, he'd get to see all the movies. I've seen all the movies too. But I wanna see this one to make it complete.

Anyway, the two... no, three, shows I may audition for are awesome. I'm going to go for a production of Narnia at Playhouse on the Square. Oliver Twist in the same theater. And a community theater production of Fiddler on the Roof, which is at a theater where some people from Disney come. So that's other stuff I'm goin' for.

I've got a lot on my plate. I mean this is a very big post. Hope everything separates. But fun can always come in once and a while. Have a great summer. And please, please, please, if your reading this, comment. In the next post I might answer some of the questions you wanna know about me, my family, or the blog. So comment... and that means you Braxton Anderson. See ya' later. Max out and beyond.
