So there I was scouring the Internet looking for the latest news and I came across some news articles reporting that Sarah Palin's (senator John McCain's presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election) 16 year old daughter, Bristol, might possibly be pregnant.
People of earth...what does this remotely have to do with the way America needs to be run? Aside from the fact that even this child might be able to beat both presidential candidates? I mean seriously, if the state of the union rests on the latest dirt that can be found on any given politician, then New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim.
They should vote for me; because then America would be filled with light sarcasm, not this political news dripping with Entertainment Tonight. But I digress. I'm only 4 years old, what do I know?
Really people, if you're that desperate for entertainment, come to my house and watch us all during our bedtime routine. You'd be saying, "Barack who?"

Marco Polo Land Camping, etc.
I've been camping with my family for a few days. We slept in a trailer like Barack Obama's campaign bus! It's actually my Uncle Dean's trailer. It is much better than a tent. The only thing I didn't like about camping was the mosquitos, chilly nights, dirty feet, drops of rain, no milk one morning for breakfast, not winning at chocolate bar bingo, my brother Evan hogging the Nintendo Gamecube and DVD player, dad's second attempt at the campfire, the cold wind at the Lake of Shining Waters, a loud baby crying for an hour one night, the bouncy tent gang that were all way older than me so I couldn't bounce very much, and the arcade in the basement that we couldn't go in because we didn't have enough money (read my previous post about money...same thing!). Other than all that, it was a pretty good time. A typical MacKinnon vacation... hurricane Gustav style! Just like today when we went to Zellers to buy shoes for back to school. You should have seen the look on mom and dad's faces when we were leaving the store, especially when dad wanted to buy 35 boxes of Kraft Dinner so he could save $29.05! What a fiasco.
Anyway, we're going back to school soon and I am starting Kindergarten with my brother. I told mom he is not sitting with me and my friends Cristy-Ann and Anna. Mom insists on telling me that it is OK if he sits with us. I can't wait until she leaves us there the first day. I am going to be so Evanless it's not funny! Well, that's it for today my peeps. Until the next post...keep your chin up and your stick on the ice. My brother Dylan wanted me to write that. He really likes the Ottawa Senators.

Money
I went to Tim Hortons today with dad. I asked him if I could put some of his change in the dish to help kids go to camp. Then I asked him why they need money. Why can't they just GO to camp? Well dad started talking like a grandfather and lost me instantly. I picked up a part about people needing money to live or something like that. He says everyone in Tim Hortons makes money so they can afford food, housing, and I bet even Barbie cars too. I have one question for the person that invented money...WHAT ARE YOU NUTS OR SOMETHING?
Why should anyone have to trade metal coins or bills just to go to camp? Here's a concept for you...just GO to camp and forget about the money. Dad always pays money for food at the Save Easy and the Superstore and Sobeys and Walmart. Why can't he just pick up his stuff and leave? Those lines just hold him up. He's a patient dad though, but that's beside the point.
Dad says he'll soon be giving me money for allowance like my big brothers. But I don't get it. He can get money out of the bank anytime, can't he? Just go to the bank people!! If anyone reading this needs money, there are several banks that will give it to you. If you live out of town, then you'll have to find a way in; sorry, can't help you there.
Anyway, when I grow up I'm going to print my own money. Why hasn't anyone thought of that? Hello CNN ???
DUH...

La-di-da Day
It's Sunday today. And the Olympic Games in Beijing, China are well under way. I watched some of the opening ceremonies with my dad the other night. He said they were the best he has ever seen. He also says that Beijing is a 2.5 hour flight from where I was born in the province of Hunan. If you do a search on Google, you'll find all kinds of links for the Olympics. Also, people on Facebook are going crazy over the Olympics, starting lots of groups, etc. And have you seen the Olympic Babies?!! They are so cute! My brother really loves them
You can see the Olympic Mascots here: http://en.beijing2008.cn/spirit/beijing2008/graphic/n214068254.shtml
Anyway, I just thought I'd show you them because my brother really wants on the computer, so if I show him them while I am writing this, then he will go away. There, he's gone. I am a genius :)
Today mom and dad are taking us to a park and then we are having supper with the Stewarts. I will write more soon! :)

PS: some of my brother's favorite Websites include: Webkinz, YouTube, Club Penguin, Spiderman, and Transformers.

Shining Waters
Today we are going to the Lake of Shining Waters in Cavendish. It is full of water-slides and ice cream. My brother calls ice-cream "Bin-shee-lin". But I think that ice-cream sounds more yummy. Bin-shee-lin sounds more like ice-cream with spicy sauce on it. Oh, well...to each his own. Anyway, the only problem about today's trip to Cavendish is the RAIN. I don't know where you live, but it has been raining here in Prince Edward Island since I was born. Yesterday it was sunny for a while, and it felt like heaven. I went on the Harbor Hippo with mom because it was her birthday. Dad said she is halfway to 70. I don't know what that means, but mom said, "Very funny".
So back to today, if the rain doesn't stop until after Shining Waters I'm going to have a conversation with the rainmakers and tell them that we've had about enough...it's not funny anymore...jokes over rainmakers. How would they like it if I sent rain on their rain? Or even better, some ketchup too? I bet they'd never find enough French Fries (not even in PEI) to turn their lemon-ketchup-rain into lemonade-ketchup rain (I hope I don't have to really do that though, because we don't have enough ketchup either. But I bet we could scrape enough off my brothers plate after supper. Dad says he uses way too much). Anyway, I'm supposed to go back to my cousin's for a BBQ after Shining Waters, so hopefully the rainmakers heard my ketchup rant enough to think I might be serious.
When life hands you lemons or tomatoes, turn it into lemonade and ketchup. But never, under any circumstances, should you EVER eat spicy-sauce ice-cream. Bleck.
Have a good day everyone.
