I Seek the Grail!

yeah... I'm watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail... again :)
Anyway, today we went down to South Beach and kind of walked around on Lincoln Avenue. We went to this restaurant called Carnevale and I got some Penne Arrabiata (or something). It was really good, actually. Except it had "Incredible Sauce" aka "You're-doing-it-wrong-sauce". Why? Because it was made backwards. When you have something spicy, usually when you drink water, your mouth burns even more, and when you eat bread, your mouth doesn't burn as much. In the case of this sauce, when I drank water, it was better, and worse when I ate the yummy bread that I get at some restaurants that I do not know the name of (speaking of the bread here).
Anyway, when we first got to South Beach, we stopped at a corner to watch the Raw Miami Group breakdance. It was amazing- and it was just their warm-up! They're really good :)
Also, this guy has been coming up a lot, so I'll tell you the story. A while back, my mom, brother, and I went to the mall near our house. There, we saw a guy riding a three-wheeled Segway. He reached just less than the speed limit in a school zone, and his siren went off- accidentally. Everyone kind of started laughing at him... trust me. It was funny if you were there.
Yet another thing- I like the people here. They're very rational minded. At home, it starts raining and everyone starts freaking out and running for cover like they'll melt or they're hydrophobic (coughKristincough). These people just go about their business. It's nice.

Okay. I figured this out the day we got here, but what are the odds that our room number is the same as my bus number? Seriously. School doesn't start for another month. -_-

I need a skateboard/roller skates/ a good bike.

So it's day one in Miami. It's been pretty fun so far- we got to the hotel too early & they didn't have our room ready yet, so we walked. And walked. And walked and walked and walked.
Of course, I was wearing flip flops the whole 40 blocks total we walked because I thought we were gonna go to the beach. Therefore, my feet hurt a lot. :(
But we did get to the beach and the pool. We attempted a sand castle (it didn't really work out), and jumped around in the waves. We then went to the pool, which was pretty fun, I guess :)
Just a bit earlier than the time this post was posted, we started walking around again. We went to the awesome restaurant that was recommended to us by a super amazingly nice lady at Subway (that was at the halfway point of our earlier walk... we turned back when we finished eating), Cafe Prima Pasta. I swear, they make the bestest stuff ever! I took a picture of my spaghetti (regrettably, only AFTER I ate one of the super huge meatballs, so I just cut the other one in half & tried to make it look like I hadn't eaten any yet), but I'd have to say, the cookies at the end were the best. They were cookies, but they tasted like cookies 'n' cream ice cream. Oh, it was delicious!! Then, we stopped by a Publix (it's a grocery store) and bought some neon band-aids (because I need them badly... my balance has been terribly off since Wednesday morning, and I can't seem to stop hurting myself), and then ran back to the hotel before it started raining :) Now, we're playing Farkel, and I'll try to post again throughout our stay here :D

OH YEAH! And as we were leaving the Cafe, we walked by this aerobics place with some cliche workout music, so my brother and I were like, "1 and 2 and 3 and 4!" so we walked around like that, and out of no where, this guy in a car says, "5, 6, 7, 8!" and we laughed :)

The pictures are really weird, and kind of creepy. I especially like the last one with the dolls. Also, there are some more when you look through the comments. I just found this extremely amusing for some reason.

This is true. I like this guy :)
Yeah, I can see why people would disagree with him, but really. Many people like the music that's being advertised a lot today, but frankly, most of it sucks. (sorry) I mean, sure, I'll listen to it every so often (mostly because my dad and brother like it), but I could never listen to it for long periods of time. Because of this, though, the kind of music I listen to isn't stuff that a lot of people could listen to.
...
uh... yeah. I'm not as good at sharing my opinion like that guy. Read the article, please? I'm asking nicely :) haha

Days of the Week

Taking Back Sunday
Hey Monday
'Til Tuesday
Wednesday 13
Thursday
The Friday Night Boys
Saturday June (Band)

All of the previous are bands... well, maybe not the title. I don't know about that. But yeah. And don't ask me if they're any good- before today, I'd only known about Taking Back Sunday (they're ok), Hey Monday (they're ok), and Thursday (never listened to them before). But yeah- there's your week :)
Oh, and I just found this out yesterday afternoon- I'm going to Miami on Thursday (hahaha). I'm kind of excited. I've never been to Florida before... so yeah. See ya there, people who live in Miami! :D

Worst game ever

And I mean that. Click here.

It's just... amusing. Make sure you play until the end (there are only three levels), so you can learn to be like the guy who made the game, and never take your failures seriously.

Kris.

Woah

I'm just going to throw this out there- if you google "Inthemindsofknr", you get some pretty weird stuff. Lots of sites that translated random posts, and then random stuff like, "Twitter- Rian quotes" that's just stuff that randomly has my name in it!? (i don't have a twitter)
I don't even know.
Happy Ice Cream Day, in any case. Make sure you have some! :D

Doctor by Cute Is What We Aim For
Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered by Chiodos (don't ask me why it's called that- it has nothing to do with any of that.)
F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X by The Fall of Troy

Those songs have been stuck in my head for the past two days. -_-
AND, because I'm hopeless at computers sometimes, I'm trying to find the address for the blog on Facebook (if people want to look at it [it's not as awesome as the actual blog, but we post some stuff on there that we don't here]), so... yeah.
Enjoy your Sunday/ Ice Cream Day :)

It's a J-O-B Job!

Personally... I don't know why we'd want more people to know how to carjack... but it was funny anyway, so here ya go:
Do the Car Jacker!

This is what I've been talking about!

You see, I get very annoyed when people fight over the which language is the hardest to learn. The answer is English. Obviously, if you were born in an English speaking country, or had relatives that spoke English to you at a young age, it's not that hard. You were raised speaking the language, so it's not hard. Just like if you were raised speaking Spanish, or Japanese, or Hungarian. But for a non-English speaker, it's the hardest language to learn. Eddie Brill, an amazing comedian, talks about it HERE. :)
But really. Sometimes, the letters "gh" are silent, as in the word "light", but sometimes the letters create a "f" sound, as in "enough". Sometimes, "ou" makes an "uh" sound (rough), while others it makes an "ow" sound (round). Random k's and p's and g's get stuck before words that really have nothing to do with them- knife, pterodactyl, and gnome, for example. It's so hard to learn, and I get really annoyed when people don't get it.
But, seeing as Americans kind of force others nowadays to know English (some people are just too lazy to learn a new language... and Rosetta Stone doesn't always help [trust me.]), I'll encourage those who are learning. Unless you only know mean people, I'm sure that someone will help you out :)
