Black Friday

Today is Friday the thirteenth of September. It's Black Friday today which is a day where bad luck is released everywhere, (Not when all the dark skinned guys come out.) so don't break a mirror, let a black cat walk by you or walk under a ladder. That could be very bad for your luck so try to keep a horseshoe or rabbit foot with you.

Today of all days is known to be the unluckiest day of the year and many people suffer friggatriskaidekaphobia because of it. Friggatriskaidekaphobia is where many people have a phobia of even moving anywhere because of the bad luck this day brings.

It's clear as mud where this superstitious date has been derived from but thirteen has been known as an unlucky number since around the early seventeen hundreds.

It has been said that if thirteen people dine together one will die within a year. This has come from two places, one was during Last Supper where Jesus dined with the twelve apostles only a while before his death. The second was in Norse mythology where the god Odin is dining with eleven of his friends only to have the party crashed by Loki, the god of evil. Also, according to the christians, Friday is unlucky due to the crucifixion of Jesus.

I believe due to twelve being the "Complete" number as others say, thirteen throws off the balance. There are twelves in quite a few things such as the zodiac, the gods of Olympus, the tribes of Israel, the Apostles of Jesus, the hours of a clock and twelve whom are descended from Muhammad Imams.

Some superstitions associated with this day are as follows. If you cut your hair on this day someone in your family will die, if a baby is born on this day it will be unlucky for life and if a funeral procession passes by you will be next to die.

So be careful this Friday 13th…

A Day with Mrs Gilmore

Yesterday instead of Miss Campbell we had Mrs Gilmore. She was a fine teacher and was just like any other reliever, not knowing what our usual was.

Another thing that happened was Norm Hewitt coming to our school and talking to us about the SPCA, Family violence and about one other thing. (I forgot what it was, sorry.)

Everyone gathered in the hall to listen to Norm to see what he had to say about animals. We learnt how much empathy and love they gave us, how badly they were treated and how similar we truly are. Something I believe is that nobody truly understands the fact that we are of the same species. Humans are animals so using the word animal for every animal besides ourselves is kind of off.

Norm was very entertaining as he told us about his past and he's good at getting his point across. He's a great host and is a All Black by day and a dancer by night. :3

News Post

What would you do if you, at the age of ten, found an egyptian mummy in your grandparent's attic?

Well a german boy did exactly that and the current belief is that his grandfather, dead for twelve years, brought it over from Egypt as a souvenir of sorts.

A CT scan was done and revealed a preserved human skull with an arrow sticking out of it's socket!

Police seem to have no idea whether it's real, from Egypt or if why it happens to be in an attic.

Personally I think that would be so…awesome. I want a dead mummy in my attic! :D

Movie Review of: Naruto, Road to Ninja.

Naruto Shippuden Road to Ninja is the sixth Naruto Shippuden movie to come out. The seiyuus include Junko Takuechi, Chie Nakamura, Toshiyuki Morikawa and Emi Shinohara.  There aren't really english voice actors due to the movie not being dubbed over yet but I believe Maile Flanagan will be one as she voices Naruto in the original series.

Road to Ninja is a movie from the Naruto anime series in which a boy named Naruto who wishes to become the leader of his village is the protagonist. In the beginning of the movie the usual characters are seen to be planning an attack on a recurring group of enemies who later throw our main character Naruto and his teammate Sakura into an alternate dimension where they want to escape…or do they? That's one of the twists.

I love the humour in the beginning due to appearing in a new world with everyone having their personalities totally inverted. It was hilarious having all the usually composed characters being excited, crazy and energised. My favourite character in this dimension would have to be Hinata, a girl who is usually a shy, soft princess is now…well rude loud and terrifying. However as this movie goes on it does foretell some dark events that lead to some pretty epic battles. I can't tell if there were any bad parts because I was so taken by the movie and the way it flows. Road to Ninja is a good film but I do think that the title sounds a bit irrelevant. There could be a reason behind that but for now I don't know.

Overall I feel that it's a good film that I would recommend to people who aren't bothered by blood, violence or sadness. I believe this film would be awesome for people already following the series because then you're able to understand it more clearly and suggest it for mainly boys though I think a lot of the fans are female from what I know.

My Speech

For Homework I did a speech about the group of online activists/hacktivists known as Anonymous

Anonymous. Defined by the dictionary as not identified by name or of unknown name. Also a righteous group of hacktivists that aren’t afraid to attack even the most powerful of foes for the sake of morality.

First things first! What exactly does this group do? Well let me explain it! Anonymous is an open group with strictly no secrets. Some watch over our cat videos and make sure they stay there. Most make sure all unjust actions do not go unpunished. Watch out John Key because that spying move you made was not unheard of.You can think of Anon, as many like to call them, as the protectors of the internet, especially the internet jokes, memes and the like. They’ll make stands for citizens who’s rights are being played with by the government as long as the problem is tech related.

For example Anon waged a small attack on a man named Hal Turner who had his own radio station. Right now there seems to be no reason to attack such a man, am I right? Yes, yes I am. Until you realise that this guy was a supremacist, racist…jerk. Anonymous noticed this man when he started picking on of their own and decided to do something about it. Many within the group came up with ideas such as spamming his radio calls, sending him countless pizzas, random blocks of materials and even going to sign him up for Craigslist. These little stunts managed to take Hal off the radio by destroying his ability to pay for it.

These internet guardians, as I have called them, started out as people just like you and me. People just sitting at home on their computers on a website called 4chan. 4chan was the birthplace of Anon where anyone could upload photos as an anonymous user or if they wanted, a named one. Anon came to be on the part of the site known as /b/. This was where all the completely random and mind scarring things were uploaded. Somehow these individuals got together to defend the internet! 

I believe that there were two major events that Anon was involved with. Let’s start with the Indian governmental struggle. Imagine a world with no internet…horrifying I know…this is practically what happened to India as they took away the internet from the entire country. Can you guess what Anon did? Amazingly enough they showed them how to turn it back on. Everyone put together a bunch of files with instructions and things to defend them from pepper-spray and other weapons that may be used against them in a care package. Awesome, right? Indian citizens got their leader to back out of government and there were parties in the streets. Aw yeah, go India!

“And now…In the left corner we have the Anons and in the right we have Scientology! That’s right everybody it’s time for Anon vs Scientology!” Yes there was an epic smack down between the two. It started out with an innocent video with Tom Cruise talking about some things on Scientology that became widely mocked across the internet. Scientology’s response was to go around legally threatening people to take it down so before you knew it half of these vids were taken down. Anon did not respond kindly to having their little joke taken away I can tell you that but the thing was, that just as fast as these videos were being uploaded they were being smacked straight back down. That was when Anon went into battle mode against an enemy that was almost perfect for them with a whole lot of DDossing, trolling and finally a confrontation.

I really should tell you about DDossing. DDossing is also known as denial of service where you basically flood a site until nobody else can enter. Like hiring tons of people to stand in line for the hotdog stand and in the end no real customers can enter.

The confrontation thing was HUGE. This was a widely participated project in which many Anon members stood outside Scientology buildings with masks to conceal their identities in protest. It was a mark in Anonymous history.

Oh yeah, these are some things that I can NOT leave out. The main symbol for Anonymous is the Guy Fawkes mask from the movie, V for Vendetta. It was decided because it was an inside joke that these 4chan using anons all 

knew about. Their saying is “We never forgive. We never forget. We are Anonymous. Expect us.” Epic, right? But I’m not trying to over glorify it. 

This organisation gives not only our rights but also an example. No matter how high up you are wrong actions will be punished.The government needs to fear the citizens not vice versa because one slip up from them and ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

Limerick~!

Distinguished by nothing but name,

There are stars that ride on their fame.

Though they are quite admired,

I am rather tired,

Of seeing that it's nought but a game.

I see them everywhere,

And I don't at all think it's fair.

To horde all your money,

It's not at all funny,

When there are people who live with bad health care in despair.

My Experience of Spring (Poem)

The sunlight glowing somehow brighter on the horizon,

With all the birds shrieking I know it's spring.

Supposedly the most beautiful day of the year.

I find it cold, tiring and tedious as my need to stay in bed is stronger.

The plums trees are blossoming?

I don't really care.

Sure it's pretty but I'd rather fruit.

It's only really the beginning of spring,

So I'm not enjoying it just yet.

Warmth only makes the morning colder,

Especially when I hate getting up.

Spring means more fauna jobs around the house

Mum will enjoy that one.

I don't hate spring,

Now don't get me wrong!

I'm sure once I'm used to the change,

Spring will feel great and joyous.

I will love the singing of the birds,

Until once it changes all over again.

(Lol, it's more like a story cut into paragraphs. I'm not good with poems on the go without a certain type.)
