Back to School

Hello readers Bucky here! Well it only seemed like yesterday but my vacation is already over! I’m really glad I came back to Minnesota for October break because it is just so beautiful here with all the orange leaves. I actually didn’t really do many vacationy things during the break but instead helped paint the outside of our new house. I also took many photos and am going to be making a slideshow of them for my blog. One of my favorite parts about my trip was seeing the state completely change and go from being completely green to red, yellow and orange. Again I was sucked into the wraths of Target but didn’t buy anything there this vacation. It was really funny walking around town because all the kids from Minnesota are supposed to be in school and a lot of people thought that I was skipping class. On journey back, we had to wake up at 5 am and start driving to the airport. I was really tired and couldn’t wait until I got back to my apartment. Sadly the last airplane ride I had was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life. The plane was really hot and got delayed for an extra hour before we even took off. If that wasn’t enough there were also no TV’S on the back of the seats and the movie that was playing on the little TV didn’t work. If that and that weren’t enough then I guess the screaming babies in the row in front of me took care of that. Well now I’m finally back and ready to start school again. See you later, love Bucky!

Vacation is here!

Hello readers Bucky here! So I just got back to my summer house in Minnesota. I’m not tired at all because there is only a 30 minute time difference!  I had one of the smoothest travels ever and there were no complications. I’m actually staying at my grandparents’ house because our house is under construction and we are re-doing it. Everything looks so different here in the states because it is fall. It’s been almost 7 years since I have been to the States during October. Minnesota is as cold as ever and every night the temperature has dropped below freezing but eventually warms up during the day. I can’t wait to start taking pictures of all the orange leaves and all the wildlife here. Even though it’s about 50 degrees outside I think I’m going to jump into the water and see if I don’t die. One of the things that I always forgot is how big the portions of food are that they give in the United States but also how good the food is to. Nothing beats a good hamburger and fries in the United States. Another thing I love about the US is how fast the internet is here. Back to the lake, I was really bummed out that It was so cold here because I was looking forward to going wakeboarding but I guess that’s going to have to wait until next year. See you later, love Bucky!    

Buckys Opinion on Traveling

Hello readers Bucky here! In a few days I get a break from school and October break starts. I’m really excited because I’m actually going back to the United States for a week which is something I normally do not do at this time of the year. To get back to my summer home it takes a whole day of traveling in cars, trains and airplanes (actually I really don’t ride on a train). One of my favorite but also my least favorite part about going to the United States is traveling. Even though planes and cars travel at super speed it takes long to get to them than it does to actually travel. Ever since 9/11 airport security has more than tripled and the journey to get from your home to your airplanes departing gate is so much harder than it was before. I know that all the additional security is necessary but sometimes I really hate it. On the contrary I also really enjoy traveling. I like the fact that I get to ride on a plane and even though it does get boring after 5 hours of constant sitting it is still kind of fun. I actually like when there are TV’s on the back of each seat of the plane because then it seems like I’m in a movie theatre. Let’s just put it this way, once I’m on the plane I really like flying but if I’m stuck in a huge line or the plane is delayed I really start getting annoyed. I can’t wait for vacation and Bucky says bye!    

Viral Videos

Hello readers Bucky Here! In the past few years the price of video cameras and recording devices has dropped incredibly. For example about 5 years ago a decent video camera costed about 400 dollars. Now in 2010 you can find one for about half that price. With the incredible price drops, millions of people are getting their hands on video cameras and putting videos on the internet. Almost all of you know of YouTube and how many videos are on that site. Out of those thousands of videos there are a special few that are called viral videos. Viral videos are videos that are put up on the internet and they become incredibly popular, usually in a short time. You may have heard of the famous “Charlie bit me” and Shane Dawson’s videos and those are great examples of viral videos. People who have viral videos on YouTube or other video sites usually have other benefits other than being famous on YouTube, for example some people even get paid for their work. I love watching funny/interesting videos on YouTube and a really great way to get caught up on the latest videos is by watching RayWilliamJohnsons’s videos. Ray William Johnson reviews viral videos and then just talks about them for fun. Usually viral video happen out of the blue and don’t really make sense so I hope that one day I find something really unusual that becomes viral.
