Owl City new album The Midsummer Station

Owl City has a new album called The Midsummer Station.

It is waaay different compared to his old songs like Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight. But they all have that Owl City "umphf" to it. Still the same Owl City! Some "fans" are complaining that he is losing his music quality just because he is changing his style. I see nothing wrong with it. He's still as AMAZING  as ever, that will never change. ..That and the story the songs have behind them and the way they always click into your personal life!
ok so I thought I'd be nice and let you guys listen to the new album. ALL the songs are on here EXCEPT for "Good Time" which is Owl City with Carly Rae Jepsen.

GO ADAM YOUNG!

YOU ARE THE BEST!! XD!

The Rest of the Trip

Wow, there is ALOT to say! Our last day in Panama, we visited an animal place, where we can hold animals, as everyone was saying. There was the cutest monkey! He would reach his tail through the bars and grab my arm, and hold my hand. And I was the only one to hold a snake. Even my dad didn't! Check out my mom's blog for pictures on thekandtkronicles.blogspot.com.

The traveling was... wow.... We traveled seven hours to Panama, Panama, Panama. Panama county, Panama City in Panama. We looked at another area of houses, by surprise. It was a nice area... I guess.

Our plane was delayed in Panama City. It came at 3:30 AM instead of 2:30, so we missed our second plane and had to get another. We ended up getting to Chicago at 4:30 PM and started driving at 5:15.

My dad never stopped driving, well except for dinner and gas and all, but we ended up getting home at 3:00 AM. One thing that made this trip really weird, was we saw my friend, who moved away, Abi, was at the gas station. Strange, right? And our car alarm went off. - _ -. But we're back! And it was a good trip, but I'm so glad to get back.

Why do I love Panama?

To be completely frank (haha frank...) with you, I don't exactly know. It's... different. And, I don't know why, but I LOVE it here! My dad thinks it's because it's an adventure to live a different country, a mystery an adventery! Came up with that one on my own. As you guys, (or ALOT of you guys) know, I LOVE NANCY DREW GAMES! Which includes adventery.

Now, how Leslie feels about it - _ -. She HATES it here. Everything here she finds something not to like about it. My parents once asked her why she didn't like it here, and she said it's because she finally got adjusted to public school and knows how to act. If she moves to another school in the states (as Panamanians call it here) it would be a new beginning and she would know how to act. But if she moves to a different country, things will be, well, different. If I was in public school, I would probably feel the same way but still.

Mom and Dad aren't helping this descision AT ALL! They don't know whether they like Panama or not. I asked them to rate it and they both said five! Which is funny because Leslie is a 0 and I'm an 11. I wish one of them would make a descision one direction so we could decide.

Panama, Looking at Houses

The last two days we have been looking at some places that we might live.

The first day we went uphill, on a rickety road which is "supposed" to be fixed. (I don't believe them). We went so high we were in the clouds, no kidding. Leslie and I didn't think they built anything up there.

It was a nice resort with golf and nice, fancy houses. The thing is, they weren't built yet, if you know what I mean. We would have to buy a piece of land and have them build on it. I wasn't so happy about it.

The next day we went to Valle Escondido, a place I would REALLY like to live! It has golf, mini golf, a restaurant and all of the houses have great views! We looked at some of the houses. My favorite was the second one but everyone else's was the third one. But it doesn't matter, because if we move her it probably won't be on sale by that time.

I hate to say this because of all my friends reading this, but I love Panama. I REALLY want to live here. But don't think we're moving there yet. Leslie is having some trouble with the issue. - _ -

The NerveWrecker

This is a blog which not many people will see. But I'd like to express how I feel about Leslie on this trip. She complains about EVERYTHING!!! Anything that happens she finds SOMETHING to complain about. If you don't believe me, ask my mom. Leslie was complaining about something and mom started crying from stress, which is mostly from Leslie because of all her stupid complaining!!!! I would make a list, but it would be so long, that I'd be writing this blog until the day I DIE!!!

Panama, THE BEACH!!!

Today, as you can tell, the main thing I'm going to talk about is the beach, but of course, I'm saving that for later.

We woke up to go to a church at the theater here at about 8:30. There I met two nice boys. Their names were Monty and Xavior and they are eleven and twelve. I think I found my first two friends. They had a little girl about two years old that their mom was babysittitng and oh my gosh, was she ADORABLE! They let me hold her. Highlight of my day: Xavior: Don't give her to Monty. Monty: I'm not Monty! He's Monty!

Then we hit THE BEACH! Man, I love the waves, but I couldn't get too far because in this part of the pacific ocean or something, there is a strong undertoe the further you get in. An undertoe is the water moving towards the waves, so it has a strong current that could easily pull you further in, while a wave pushes you further back. If there is a strong undertoe and a wave out there, it is a good chance you will get stuck and drift away... I don't even want to KNOW how they found THAT out.

After that we were driving away and found ourselves in the middle of a... festival or something. We were driving along and all the sudden these horses (or caballos as the spanish (espanol) call them) were running at us and some spanish guys were shouting at us. This policeman told us something in Spanish. Not many service people speak English here - _ -. But, eventually, we figured out he wanted us to take a detour and BOY was that detour crowded!

There are a bunch of other things I could tell you, but TRUST ME, you do NOT want to hear them.

Panama, First Few Days

Let me tell you one thing to start. Ugh! Traveling!

It wasn't that bad I guess. But boy, did we have to do it for a while! First day we drove to Iowa City and stayed the night there then the next day drove all the way to Chicago! Ugh! We had to get on a plane to Florida.

Now, I know what your thinking. You think we're going to Panama City. BOY, are you wrong! We're going to the COUNTRY of Panama. No chiz.

We arrived in Florida only to get on ANOTHER flight that went into Panama City... at 1:30 AM. Kill me! But we ended up actually getting to our hotel at 2:30.

The next day we had to travel 7 hours from Panama City to Boquete. We ended up eating at about 8:00 for dinner. The people who were renting us their Casita (small house) for a week were supposed to eat with us at a very popular restaurant, but when we got there, they had already eaten. I mean, seriously! And of course the adults are always talking.

Now, don't get me wrong here. This isn't all complaining. I really like Panama and think it is a good idea to live here. But, traveling is not very high on my list of things I REALLY want to do. Especially when it means getting here at 2:30 AM.

Neither was touring the town, but that was what we had to do the next day. So, there isn't really much to say, except I am seriously considering becoming a real-estate agent now! Ha ha, give you details tomorrrow!

FF.NET IS TURNING AGAINST US!!!!

i shall take this down when it's over but I would like to share this because I think It's important!

STOP the destruction of Fanfiction.net!

Greetings,

100ust signed the following petition addressed to: Fanfiction.net.

STOP the destruction of Fanfiction.net!

Ever since it was opened, Fanfiction.NET had always been a place for avid fans-- of ANYTHING-- to feel at home. To express whatever is on our minds and truly let our love for characters, plotlines and scenarios shine through.

Now all of a sudden, FF.net has decided to go through a massive upheaval and remove thousands of stories from its library, some of the best fanfics ever written, gone, never to be read again. They are removing anything involving sexual situations, or violence, or inspired by a song, the list goes on. And we as readers see this as a gross waste of talent and incredible material.

Fanfiction.net has always been a place for us writers to 'Unleash our imagination' as the tagline states, and now we are having that right to freedom of speech and expression taken away from us. Since when are they allowed to dictate what goes into our stories? They are OUR pieces of work. What if the violence or sexual content is part of the plotline? This whole situation is absurd. There are better ways to deal with 'inappropriate' content than to remove it altogether. What about adult filters? Age restrictions? There are so many other options!!

So I'm asking please, for all us readers, writers, and fans alike... STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF FF.NET!!!!
----------------

Sincerely,

Vianelli D.

Also I would just like to put out there that I REALLY think u should think about how many people's hard work is going to waste here! People worked REALLY hard on this-- these fan-fictions on FF.net only to be taken down?!?!?!?! IT JUST ISN'T RIGHT!!! just think about it... What if our blogger or yours got taken down for some Fan-fiction post or some of the cuss-words in the videos.. how would you feel? I would feel that my hard work has gone to waste! My readers would lose a good site and so on so on.

JOIN THE PETITION! WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS! FOR FAN-FICTION WRITERS ACROSS THE GLOBE!!!

What's Fair and What's Not

I had a sleepover last night with my friend and we were hanging out, when her little siblings call and want to come over. They come over ALL THE TIME so we decided to say no. Not so long afterwards, she went down to her house to get cookies and her mom had to talk to her. She came out crying, saying that she couldn't come up if her siblings couldn't come up. That is SO UNFAIR in SO MANY WAYS! She is my friend not her siblings, and I get to decide who I want at my house, and I don't want her siblings to come up. And most of the time, she's just getting them to come up here so my mom and dad can babysit them pretty much. Like there supposed to , when they're not!!! I understand if my friend is grounded for doing something wrong, but not letting her siblings come up is not a good excuse for not letting her come up. She is my friend not her siblings.

Korra's summer vacation

sorry about the language these people need to behave. lol anyway i really hope you like it(besides the whole cussing thing and the entrance thing ) and enjoy the absolute hilariousity!
