Journey of a Blue Sailor

"Oh, I wish I were a duck.

Hey! Look I already am.

What a stroke of luck,

Glad I'm not a purple ham!"

Those are the famous words of Quack, the Blue Sailor from this awesome TV show, Peep and the Big Wide World. Among these are many other songs, all sung by this quirky little exuberant duck, with his sailor hat. His friends include: a beaver, pond fish, a chick, a robin, a turtle, and more. [Jennifish is one of his fishies in his pond. Guess which one?] Quack can be really blunt sometimes, so much that you would want to smack yourself on the head. But, as the duck with the most character, he's just so much more adorable. You can also catch him ocassionally with his genius moments. To watch some of his videos, [well technically speaking, Peep's videos] go to http://peepandthebigwideworld.com/videos/index.html If you like to swim, love to wear your sailor hat, adore yourself, or you're blue and eggplant shaped, then we're sure you will have a LOT in common with him.

*note: Again, Jennifish was co-author. This was totally her topic. But i think Quack still rocks. And so does Ralph.

*note: QUACK IS NOT AN EGGPLANT. NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE LOOKS LIKE ONE. DO NOT CALL HIM AN EGGPLANT. OR JENNIFISH WILL KICK YOUR arse TO (not)PLANET PLUTO. Ducks are the best. :)

The Clashes Between Evil and Good!

Let's take a guess at what i'm talking about. Peace vs. war? The bond market vs. the stock market? The angels vs. the devils? The Angels vs. the Dodgers? Vampires vs. werewolves? Pie vs. cake? Vanilla vs. chocolate? Puppies vs. kitties? PCs vs. laptops? Film vs. SD cards? Water vs. fire? Oh, this is going on forever. Why dont i just get to the point. Im talking about the clashes between BAND AND ORCHESTRA! It is a known fact that people in Band and people in Orchestra are always contradictory against each other, and it is inevitable. [Of course, choir isnt part of this since it doesnt come close to either band or orchestra. Full orchestras and jazz bands are also excluded.] Often, Band people are proud of the fact that they are the gatherers of attention, that they play loud enough for the audience to hear, as well as enjoy their arousing music. Meanwhile, Orchestra people can play at soft sounds, and create different moods that dazzle the listeners. It's the woodwinds, brass, and percussion against the strings. Which is better? Well, if you asked a Band member, of course they would say Band. The reasons? They would respond the reasons i have stated about. If i asked an Orchestra member, they would say Orchestra, and also for the reasons i have stated above. [It's a mutal thing.] However, no matter how different Band and Orchestra may seem, we often do stuff together, like performances. I mean, it's all just music right? People in these groups hang out with each other, and its like just a HUGE family. Of course, with the complications. [Those are inevitable.] So, in conclusion, i would like to say that...BAND ROCKS!! :) [slap* from Orchestra member] OWOWOWOW... ok ok..fine. They're both awesome, which is true. Its just that sometimes our ego gets in the way of how we get along. [Of course, we never really did get along in the beginning...] :] *note: Yes, i am in Band. And if by any chance someone wants to comment on that...well...just make sure its a nice comment. *note: Yep, there was a co-author to this post. Her name is Jennifish, and she's an Orchestra member. So is Ralph. He plays his huge bass bread. *note: Jennifish whisphers: "ORCHESTRA ROCKS!!" [gets kicked in the shin by me*] "OWOWOWOW...not." *note: Uh, i need to work on my attacking skills.
