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.

Best Friends

Maxwell here. The man who runs the blog with already 20 posts. And this is Journey to Tennessee. If you don't know why I'm making a cool introduction on the internet... well. I was trying to act like Ryan Seacrest or someone like that. Anyway, today I want to talk to you, the readers out there, about my friends. Or best friends at least.

Now, you've heard of my cousin, Braxton Anderson, my sort of new Tennessee best friend. And you've heard of my Missouri friend, Kohl Haun. But in St. Louis I have a very, special dude who is a lot like me. His name is David. Last name: Pisarkewitz. Yep, easy to say, hard to spell. At least it's hard to spell for you.

We are awesome buddies, me and him have a neverending friendship. The first time we saw each other was at lunch in the 1st grade. Our first game... I do not remember. We love playing wizards and superheroes.

Wizards is our favorite game. We like making up our own spells, charms, and potions. And we usually team up with some of our other friends, who also live in St. Louis, Nathan and Lili. One time we made a spell to switch bodies and pretended to be each other which was really fun. We miss each other now that I have moved to Tennessee. We're thinking about getting a web cam to talk to each other from our different states over the computer.

I'd love for you to meet him. Maybe if we ever get the web cam we could get it on video and put it up on my the blog.

Anyway, Scout Camp was over on the last day we had a space derby with model rockets. Each cub/boy scout gets one time. Except for me. The first time I went it didn't go one bit. It just went straight to the ground. The second, it did the same. But, the third was different. With a lot of hard work and help from Dad, I won.

While at Scout Camp, I made a new friend, Jack. He's a lot like me... and David. He even has a family cartoon they do monthly on Youtube. They call it Fred, the Lovable, Huggable, Zombie. Which gave me insperation to do a cartoon too. 2 actually. I'll tell about em' later.

But, I like having friends. I guess this wraps it up. Have a great summer. Max out.

Mother's Day with the Jessops

Hey, ya. St. Louis was awsome. Unfortunately, since the call to tell us if we got the call back was supposed to be at 9:00. I didn't get a call. Like the Muny, there is just something even better for me.

Yesterday was my dad's All About Women chiropic screening downtown. I had a babysitter for 8 hours. I'm fine with it since my babysitter is Tori, is Kalee McBride's, my mom's couponing friend, daughter. I didn't know her but my mom told me she liked drama and the preformance arts.

We had so much fun. We made stories, we sang songs, we watched YouTube videos. We even went on iCarly.com. We also practiced The Underground. Currently we are making a movie, Lights, Cameras, Kanines. It's about a talking dog who runs off to Hollywood to be a big star.

So anyway, it's Mothers's Day. The day deticated to moms all over America, and all the othe places on Earth. So I might as well tell you what mom wants.

1. Money for a new pair of walking shoes or a purse that she will pick out


2. Ten new patients at my dad's office


3. And no going anywhere except church for the day.

Yep, she's had a ruff weekend. So that's what she wants. Also for Mother's Day we sent nana, my grandma, a card. Now she always sends me cards with money in them. Like 1$ bills to like on really big occasions 20$. But this time we put money in the card for her. When she saw it she laughed so hard. Nothing like a little oppositing.

Anyway yesterday was Brandon's, my friend and nieghbor, birthday. So he invited me to the party but we couldn't go because of the babysitting. On the brightside, we got him a cool present, a 4-pack of Expedition brand Tech Decks. Oh, while getting his Tech Decks I got some myself. A 3-pack of Black Label brand Tech Dechs. Chandler will freak out. Or get mad.

So I guess that's my news for today. See ya, and Happy Mother's Day. Only 235 days left.

A Not-So-Christmas Story

It's Max, and I am ready for this audition. You may be saying to yourself, "What audition?". Well, if you haven't already read my blog post, Journey to Tennessee: Easter Edition, it mentions my audition as Flick in "A Christmas Story" in Missouri. Now, tomorrow, I will do my audition in front of the people of the Repretory Theater. As Flick might say, "Thith ith nothin'". Yep, I'm ready. The bad thing about this is that my other acting friend, Parker Donavan, is auditioning too. He's better than me. One of the many reasons he's better is because, even though he is the exact size of me but he is older. Try 13 years old. Compared to my ethics, he's proffesional.

I still am confedent that I will get the callback. They may even choose me for Ralphie. This isn't like the Muny where I got in because I was cute. But, talented. Parker might get a part. Well, even if he was Darth Vader he'd get a part. So to get my mind off Parker I might as well change the subject. Anyway, yesterday I got a new Tech Deck. Chandler was not that excited. I guess he just thinks since I'm a bit not like him he dosen't want me to be like him. It's a limited edition Black Label if you wanted to know. So because of the St. Louis audition my Mom is so stressed out. She still hasn't packed. But I am ready, I practice without my script since I memorized and I didn't stutter. She loves me and she believes I can go through the callback. I know too.

I know I'm going to do well and for once beat Parker Donavan. I guess this will be great. We don't know when the callbacks are but I know I'll be there. I'll just keep it at this and contact you Saturday after I go to Missouri. It just occured to me that it's like the St. Louis Again sequel. Let's leave it at this. There's only 238 days of 09' left. I just have to say bye. Oh, and if you could tell your friends about Journey to Tennessee if you are reading. Bye.

Four Days of Fun (At Least for Me)

Four days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday lead to only one word and that is, awsome. At least that's what I think.

First on Friday, I saw Dad for the last time till Sun. because he was off to a chiropractic seminar in Dallas, Texas and while he was there he met up with his mom, who happened to have a stroke while visiting and had to go to the hospital, and his sister. Now that was just the start.



On Saturday, to advertise for my Dad's office we went to the parking lot of Kroger and held a sign showing things that my Dad might do. Now that may sound crazy but alot of people advertised there. There was Trustmark, Junior Achievement, even the Zaxby's chicken was there. One that interested me alot was the Rockin' Robin DJ event. The DJ, whose name I don't know, did all these contests and alot of people spun the record and won a prize. Yes, even me. I won the Macarena contest and guess what I won. You just can't take the suspension, I'll just tell you. I won the first place ribbon and... a stuffed monkey. They named it Mac, last name: Erana, funny. I may rename it. Anyway, that wasn't the best part about Saturday, I got a 4-pack of Tech Decks, you know those fingerboards, I got the Black Label company Tech Deck. It's so awsome even though Chandler, my school friend who has a very big resemblance with me, hates me. He thinks I'm caught up with his life. You see I have 4 Tech Decks and he has 5.


So bummer, but the fun went on when Sunday came, you see we I'm having this big cough and Mom wants me to feel better for my Friday auditions in St. Louis so we skipped church. It was practically a do-nothing day. First, I got up from bed watching Moises Arias in Beethoven's Big Break with Mom. Later we watched a Wizards of Waverly Place marathon till 7:00 I believe. At the beginning of each episode she paused it and we studied my lines for "A Christmas Story". And soon I got to watch the new episodes of Hannah Montana and Sonny with a Chance. When I went to bed later when I was still trying to get to sleep Dad came in to say hello, and then goodbye.

So this was going great, as for Monday, I finished Scene 5 of The Underground and played Monopoly: The Card Game with Dad. Not much but it was fun. I'd have to say that that weekend (plus one weekday) was awsome. sorry to cut it short or, well... long. Goodbye. Oh, and Happy Cinco de Mayo. Bye.
