Once upon a time there was a bear, a blue bear to be exact.  And his name was Blue Bear.  One day he wanted to go on a picnic with his family.  When they got close to where they wanted to be they saw a strange OBJECT.  It was a COMIC.  It was a comic about a lemon that came alive.  After the picnic was done, the blue bear took the comic home and put it on his shelf.  It was a valuable treasure that he thought he had been GIVEN.  The next morning the blue bear wanted to go for a swim.  So they did.  And there at the pool they met a magician.

“Mom! Mom! A magician!” Blue Bear said.  ”Mr. Magician, can you do us a trick please?”

The magician said “Yes but you’ll have to pay me.”

“I can use my CREDIT card,” said Blue Bear.”

The magician said “Abbra Kadabra…Voila!!”  And then he walked on the pool.

“Wow! How did he do that?!” said Blue Bear.

“I can’t give you the answer but I can give you a RIDDLE,” said the magician. “When a magician crosses a pool, we may not know how he does it.  But we do know that water is not SOLID.” And then he VANISHed.

The next morning Blue Bear was playing video games.  And then he finished one level and then he got to the next one.  And it said “You will be given an EXAM on this level.  You will have to free the baby Panda from a METAL PRISON and then escape the jungle without being spotted by the Indians.  In 12 minutes he finished the level.  And then Blue Bear said “Oh yeah…oh yeah!! I’m the greatest!  Uh-huh!! Uh-huh!! Oh yeah!!”

Then his mom came in and said “Blue Bear, do you think you’re HUMBLE?”

“What exactly does that mean?” said Blue Bear.

“It means not thinking that you’re the best.”

“Oh well yeah, I’m humble.” Blue Bear said.

“Oh really?” said Blue Bear’s mom. “For your reward I will show you how the magician did the trick. There was some glass on the pool and the magician walked on the glass.  And it was very clear glass so you could not see the glass.  That’s how the magician did the trick.”

And they lived happily ever after.  The end.

I like doing flips so much on the trampoline.  I know more than two flips!  I know three flips.  The regular flip, the pirate flip, and the long range flip.  You already know the regular flip.  The pirate flip, it’s kind of like when a pirate walks the plank and jumps off and you have your hands behind your back.  The long range flip is you try and jump really far and really high.

I’m really excited about going to Uncle Josh’s on Friday.  And I’m spending the night two days!!  They have a new dog.  And I’m gonna have a present for Uncle Josh and Ashley.  It’s going to be a book I’m working on.

I have a new Calvin and Hobbes book.  It’s not really new.  I got it from Nana and Granddad and it used to belong to Dad.  Here’s one of my favorite stories from Calvin and Hobbes.  Calvin thinks there’s monsters under his bed.  Hobbes thought he saw something drooling under the bed.  Calvin said “Start tying the sheets together…we’ll go out the window.”

There’s a Garfield movie I want to get too.  I already have it at Granny’s but I want to get it at my house too.  Garfield thinks that his owner does things all for Garfield and not for himself.  And one day the owner adopted a puppy named Odie.  And Garfield felt selfish because the owner never let Garfield sleep in the bed and then the owner let Odie sleep in the bed.  And then Odie got lost and Garfield didn’t want to go find him at first.  But then he figured out that he should because when a family is family, they stick together.

And when I was at Nana’s we put some red food coloring in some water and put some celery in it.  It hasn’t changed much.  I think we might’ve done something wrong ‘cuz I think we were supposed to cut it and see if there were any red spots.  We made a submarine and it was full with water but we got a straw and blew it back up.  We tried different balls on a fan for example, we put a blue ball that had some air in it on the fan and it rolled around on the fan. And we put a beach ball on it and it floated.  And we tried a frisbee and it just flew off!  And that’s pretty much all we did with that.

One day there was a boy that was having his class picture taken.  And he didn’t like his hair so he put some Crisco in it.  He showed his mom and he got a beaten she said “Get that Crisco out of your hair!”  But he didn’t so his mom had to fix it…BECAUSE HIS HAIR LOOKED LIKE A BABY!!!  It was like a baby swirl on top of his head.  And then his pet tiger said, “You look like a dork.”  And the boy said, “I know.”  The tiger said, “Here, let me fix it up.”  After they were done, the tiger said, “You look like Astro Boy!”  And then the tiger got a mirror and showed him and he died laughing.  The End.

Jackson’s mom here: Jackson has been reading Calvin and Hobbes and I *think* this is in part or in whole taken from a comic strip.  But this was told to me from his memory in his way.

I went to Colorado for vacation for 2 weeks.  And I went with Nana and Granddad.  And my Uncle Josh and Ashley were there for part of the time…. we went to Southfork, Colorado.  I got a fake little rubber band gun.  We went swimming and it was so much fun.  And I played Farkle with Uncle Josh, Ashley, and Nana…. and I scored over 3 triplets!  We were all trying to beat Nana and Ashley beat her by some, Uncle Josh farkled, and I got even more than Nana and Ashley.  I had 5900 points and I doubled my score on one turn!  And we went hiking with Uncle Josh and Ashley and I fell and hit my booty. Here are some Colorado pictures.

A few days later, now I’m back at home.  I’m making a book called The Origin of Wolverine.  That’s what I’m doing right now.  Here’s a picture of my book.

This post is from my old blog.

I’m sorry for not writing in so long.

And this story is called “Toot Gas.”

I am going to work on a book that is called “Toot Gas” and I just wanted to post it on my blog.

It’s a story about a superhero that can fly by tooting. I haven’t made the story yet but when I’ve made it, I’ll show it to you on my blog. I’m working on the illustrations. Dad thought it was hilarious when I told him what I wanted to do.

After I wrote this post, someone emailed my mom with a couple of questions about Toot Gas. Here are here questions:

If the Toot Gas superhero were to get lost and need to spend the night under the stars, what three things would he like to have with him and why?

1) A sleeping bag – to sleep in

2) His pet cat (named Le Purr) to keep him company

3) A TV to watch, oh wait – he wouldn’t have anything to hook it up to, so nevermind. The real number 3 is a DVD player! That’s it.

Okay, next question.

What are Toot Gas’s favorite things to eat?

Pizza, pickles, and beans of course.

This is my new blog. My mom and dad think that blogger is kind of lame, so I got a wordpress blog instead. I don’t know why I named it “The Scary Lamp Post.” I just think it sounds cool. I’m not going to be writing on my other blog anymore.
