Free Blog.

Well, today folks it is a free blog. So I have a question. Have you ever had a dream and then forget it, and then remember it along time later? It's a problem I keep on having. I remember this one dream, I was a vampire hunter(stay with me). I arrived at a job and it was like a matrix. I pulled out a flamethrower and kept on shooting a raging inferno at the undead. Waves of them were coming, and of course, it being a nightmare I ran out of fuel. And then I woke up. Thanks for reading.

My Fantastic Journey

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to Athens, Greece. Why you may ask?  I am extremely interested in Greek mythology. And Athens is pretty much the center. I would go to the Parthenon first. The Parthenon is a huge temple dedicated to the Greek Goddess Athena, Goddess of strategy and wisdom. The architexture is amazing. They have a statue about thirty feet  high of her. Then I would go down town and see the area where the first Olympics were held.

The Olympics were held in honor of Zeus, God of the Sky and the King of the Olympians. They held it at the foot of Mt. Olympus, where they believed the palace of the gods were at. It was pretty much the center of attention in greece. Instead of medals, champions were crowned with laurels formed from olive trees. The sports were pretty much like today only with horse racing, and Pankration, a type of wrestling with no rules. Only men were allowed to attend. Thats why Id go to greece. plus theres over twohundred kinds of olives there.

my special skill

    I love chess. It's a game I almost never lose at. I learned when I was in about first grade. I was watching Harry Potter with my Grandpa and it came to the part where Ron had to command the army of chess pieces. I said I wanted to learn to play so my grandpa taught me. I learned that the two most powerful pieces were the pawns and the queen. I wasn't impressed with the pawn at first, but my grandpa told me why they were so important.  If you get your pawn to the other side of the court your pawn can become any piece on the board.
    When I play, I always let my opponent go first. I lull my oponent into false security by letting him/her capture some of my left pawns and my knights. But then I strike. I capture one piece after another and begin to trap the king. The only pieces left are a few pawns and his queen. I successfully dispose of his queen with my rook and form a barrier with my queen. My rival has been defeated. Toff Daddy is Victorious!
