Everyone was nice as usual, and I got a good card pool with good black, white, and blue, which I built a black-blue deck from. This deck got me in 13th out of 19. One card, called Safe Passage had artwork that caught my eye:<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a73ZkfSmyL4olWzIpPRAjVASEVMU0KLFNx1qrShiBHM2CSKs3YGtkYUOxqkKJ3LLJ2iev-zjwRVYcEpSIYlOp92Xq-FL2q_PnHGlnt_mUT4wjwTYRzly1RfZCOwIuQRYA6z2_6S-xLA/s1600-h/Safe+Passage.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 285px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360269157766089970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a73ZkfSmyL4olWzIpPRAjVASEVMU0KLFNx1qrShiBHM2CSKs3YGtkYUOxqkKJ3LLJ2iev-zjwRVYcEpSIYlOp92Xq-FL2q_PnHGlnt_mUT4wjwTYRzly1RfZCOwIuQRYA6z2_6S-xLA/s400/Safe+Passage.jpg" /></a></p><p><p>Now replace the fire with water and the army with poor middle eastern people.

The camp was a lot of fun, each day we would learn/practice a new technique(ex:dribbling on monday, passing on tuesday). I also made a few friends there too. On thursday, one of the coaches did a demonstration of of a flip throw-in which I'm going to work on(I can actually sort of do it).Here's a video of it:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eGZeXkbnfSs&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eGZeXkbnfSs&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />On another note the core set M 10(short for Magic 2010) is coming out on july 17th the newest post has some of the cards I'll copy the pics.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjru4pNNtujHtj58hPVfPiF1Xkmjc07tGcKbq0oOArQ40Q5v7PFWXHa0e2vvC1rBhTii7_t4oAviOd1Hwhtz8LeccctNKyaXB51N35seSuIhP0fa3jo6AbVHN2zFGmg7zy3M9GW_8045Fk/s1600-h/twtw46_silence.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

I'm going to my friend's house Tuesday and we'll play and practice the new rules. The set brings back the first five original planeswalkers. Turns out only 8 cards have survived from the beginning of Magic to now. I'm working on a Red-white deck to tag team with my friend's counter deck.

So far it's been OK. There are new Magic: The Gathering card sets being released and I'm getting better every time I play. The thing that is most on my mind is the book I finished reading, called The Last Olympian. </div><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5pLvTA-9130ZDtILYbeTNnuz_v5nAFlCtqxUtUX8f0Hf_Nk2WjZkpvEnWc04AYuCF0hg-4iq-MXOMgf8UmfKN0AWP8mOPG91zhqtoF8RNlR71R7fTGyJlCSKoNp4fTfi20Gp0e8mdOTU/s1600-h/percyjackson.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352890959698818354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5pLvTA-9130ZDtILYbeTNnuz_v5nAFlCtqxUtUX8f0Hf_Nk2WjZkpvEnWc04AYuCF0hg-4iq-MXOMgf8UmfKN0AWP8mOPG91zhqtoF8RNlR71R7fTGyJlCSKoNp4fTfi20Gp0e8mdOTU/s400/percyjackson.jpg" /></a><br />The Last Olympian, written by Rick Riordan, is about what it would be like to be the son or daughter of a god or goddess of the ancient Greek culture, be hunted constantly by fearsome monsters, and ride a Pegasus. But there is one twist that makes this book and the prequels(The Lightning Theif being the first) so good is that they are set in the modern U.S.A. The seiries follows Percy Jackson, a half-god(or demigods or half-bloods, more officially), and his friends Annabeth Chase, another demigod, Grover Underwood, a satyr(greek half-man, half-goat), and Rachel Dare, a mortal who can see through the magical veil called the Mist, as they fight in the final battle f0r Mount Olympus, which is now located in the sky above the Empire State Building. I would recomend this seiries to ANYONE(there are teachers I know who really liked the seiries) who likes a fun, funny, or otherwise entertaining read. </div>The sabre, the bow, and the cardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09793407365076392854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909462664415535759.post-63026559078210108212008-09-28T04:47:00.000-07:002008-09-28T05:02:13.741-07:00Look What I Got!!!!!!!!!!It's a promo, alternate art, pre-release copy of the Mythic Rare (newest and rarest rarity) Ajani Vengeant card!!!!!!!

My fencing classes tourney was today, and I came in second place. Initially, I ranked fifth and beat fourth place (RJ). Then I beat Maia, ranked first, getting me the spot in the finals against Bill. I lost against Bill, but just getting in the finals garuntees silver. But best of all, I had a great time.<br />By the way I want to sell these fifteen yu-gi-oh cards and the value was $127.70!!!!<br /><br />By the sabre, the bow, and the swordThe sabre, the bow, and the cardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09793407365076392854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909462664415535759.post-45185923903243988152008-09-06T09:27:00.000-07:002008-09-06T09:45:03.301-07:00Gimme a J...Gimme an A...Gimme a C...Gimme an E...What does that spell!?!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2vf7LqRVxKQrdxt19hK6qkNGa995iHK6iI2R4_ka93DfUwXo99Wu9YLlNpGI16uHvqCt4Hcjh7evUa3ySpqWnGAygwOYyr7WO6pdC8Gaxi5aR2cWGXxgZ6xSZv1YidmWWUN4EG62phQ/s1600-h/Jace.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242946592735706482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2vf7LqRVxKQrdxt19hK6qkNGa995iHK6iI2R4_ka93DfUwXo99Wu9YLlNpGI16uHvqCt4Hcjh7evUa3ySpqWnGAygwOYyr7WO6pdC8Gaxi5aR2cWGXxgZ6xSZv1YidmWWUN4EG62phQ/s400/Jace.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:180%;"> JACE!!!!</span><br />Last night I got Jace Beleren!!!!!
