My Dino Pet

Dinosaurs are awesome but there is only one that is the best and that is the Shantungosaurus (shan-TUNG-oh-SORE-us) meaning "Shandong Lizard". This would be the coolest dino pet because it is one of the longest and largest hadrosaurs (large herbivore) ever. This great beast is averaged at about 48 ft. in length this is also cool because you could ride it to school and instead of a honk or a bark it would make an awesome sound this is done by there being a large hole near its nostrils which could be covered by a loose flap and be inflated and therefore make an awesome sound. There are also some cool facts about this beast like all hadrosaurs its beak was toothless, but its jaws were packed with around 1,500 tiny chewing teeth. It had an unusually long tail, presumably to counterbalance the great weight of the body at the animal's hips.
Even though this dino was from about 70 million years ago it would be awesome to have was discovered and named in 1973. Since that time, a total of five individuals have been discovered, giving scientists a pretty good idea of what this animal looked like. Like many other hadrosaurs, Shantungosaurus had a very long, tapering tail, which it would have used to balance itself as it ran, and also as a possible weapon. This animal must have been really fast cause just look at its thighs it’s like I said a BEAST. There are also some down sides to the really big animal it would be really hard to find a step ladder another down side is his huge poo like how am I suppose to pick that up maybe with a garbage bag or something like that... but whatever.
Well the awesomest dino is this one and no one can take that away from me. Something is better than this and it is basketball yea that’s right basketball. Well that’s a Shantungosaurus for you and it’s straight up awesome.

Alex Bilodeau

There have been a lot of gold medals given to winners in the Olympics to Canadians but never on home soil until now. The Alexandre Bilodeau made Canadian history on Monday, February 15 he had one of the most perfect runs ever seen in Olympic history. There has been more gold medals gained since then in ladies’ boarder cross there was Mealle Ricker and in ladies’ 1000m speed skating Christine Nesbitt. These are the only people in Canadian history to ever win gold medals on home turf GO CANADA!!!!
There are many important things about winning gold on home turf for a first. One this is a big boost for all of the Olympians and a lot of weight of their shoulders this is because they have already won gold for Canada and they won’t have everyone making it harder for them on their back all the time. This winning of the gold means that we have broken a jinx and that we have also won a gold witch everyone wants to have and this was the most intense runs in moguls I have ever seen in the Olympics one of the worst things about this was that Dale Smith of Australia silver medal in men’s moguls at the 2010 winter Olympics games was being such a poor loser. Dale should have been happy to win silver at the Olympics which means he is the second best skier in the world. If I were in this man shoes I would have been freaking out because I won at the Olympics especially something I have been training at for so many years.
There are so many people that try to even make it in to the Olympics but to win would be the most awesome thing ever to have a gold medal from the Olympics. Well there have been many countries competing but there are some that don’t have enough money to even try to compete in the Olympics that could possibly make it in. Well that’s how I think about Alex’s gold.

ReDo

There are many days I could redo but there is one that I want to redo the most it is... Sunday January 3rd 2010 this is the day I broke my arm. I wish I could re peat this day so I wouldn’t be on the couch writing this blog post with all the really soft snow falling and already a lot of powder on the ground when I could be snowboarding in all of that. It has been for 4 weeks exactly since that day and I’ve been sitting around up here for those 4 weeks doing practically nothing.
I could list like 30 reasons but I’ll only list you my top three. First reason I would want to redo this day is because it would change the past four weeks completely one thing that it would change that I would really wanted to is sports I would be boxing, playing basketball, snowboarding, wrestling and even gym. All of these I could be doing but I'm not because I had one little wipe out snowboarding. Second thing it would change would be not having all this pain in my arm if I didn’t have all this pain I could be taking my dog Macy for walks. Last reason is I could help people with most things especially lifting heavy thing like helping my family getting stuff up in to the roof space or getting stuff around the house.
This would be awesome if I could redo it because I wouldn’t need to sit around all day doing nothing but watching T.V, playing on playing on my computer and doing home work. But I guess this happened for a reason or it couldn’t have but it would be awesome but it hasn’t happened and it won’t. Well that’s my redo tune in next time for my next blog.
