Happy Halloween! 10/31/2009
 
   Hi guys! It's Halloween! Today dad and Taylor went to a thing called 'Chiller Theater'. It is a Halloween thing. They have celebrities and creepy stuff. Taylor and dad got back and had some stories to tell us. Taylor got her picture made with Mickey Rooney and Peter Fonda. We ate at Outback. After that we came back to the room, flew my plane outside and we went to a few stores. We came back and are now watching a movie.

That's really all that happened. Also, Dadaw House (What I call my grandma) had the right answer to my last riddle. The riddle this week is.... "Joe and Sally were in their family room one night. While Joe was watching tv, his wife Sally was reading. The power went out, Joe went to bed, but Sally kept reading. She had no light at all. How could she read?"

So, are you going trick or treating, do you have any plans, or dressing up? Let me know in your comment! Bye and Happy Halloween!

   Hey guys! Well, my blog title is in French today and it says "Your dessert is served..." because, I had a really fancy dessert yesterday. It was in a really fancy restaurant. We went to meet with Taylors manager and we were next to a big mall. So, we went in the mall and was looking for a place to eat. We saw this place that had steaks and seafood. Looked nice, you could get you own private room for a booth. So, the place could have been called 'Mr. fancy-pant's place' and it wouldn't made much a difference. So, we go eat. And it was ok food, it wasn't the best, but it was fine. So, Taylor asks for a dessert and they brought a huge tray to the table and showed her all the desserts they had. They had this big plastic bag with fruit inside. The guy said all of it was edible. So, it looked like a plastic bag but it was chocolate. It was so realistic. Then, Taylor asked if they had a smaller one and they showed her a little version. It was so cool. So, I got one, too. It finally got to the table and me and Taylor took a bite. It was the best dessert ever! It tasted so good! Anyway, me and Taylor still talk about it. I will post a picture of it tonight. It was so good.

Now, today me and mom stayed here and we did school. Taylor and dad went to the city and went to an audition for a video game. She did air guitar and went crazy to a Beatles song. They loved her so much! They went crazy and clapped and everything. They got out of the audition and walked to the bus station and got back. Me, mom and Taylor walked to Chipotle and came back. I am now blogging.

The riddle yesterday, no one got the right answer. If you look back at my last blog, look and see what the riddle was. And, the answer was...... The ship was a submarine!

My riddle today is.... "What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a year?" Hint: It looks hard, but once I got the answer I realized that I thought way to hard. Ok, Well, that is all that has happened. Please comment and look at my pics that are now added!

Go Yankees! 10/28/2009
 
   Hi guys! Not much happened today. It is kinda like yesterday. Me and mom stayed here and dad and Taylor went to the city. She did a voice over audition. Then they walked by some really cool carved pumpkins. I will post pictures they took of the pretty carved pumpkins later. Dad and Taylor finally got back and we went to Chipotle. And before they left we went to Olive Garden. We are watching the Yankees game and 'Law and Order'.

Now, the riddle... I had some good guesses yesterday. And, for the first time on johnmikel.com, some one had the right answer! It was Brandon Crouch! He got the correct answer! He is hero of the day! Go back to my last blog to see the question and answer.

Today's riddle is "It was a sunny day and a ship was at a harbor, the ship began to sink. There was nothing wrong with the ship, and there was no storm. Why did the ship sink?" See the answer tomorrow on my blog that I now write every night!

Please comment!

Up to date! 10/27/2009
 
     Hey everyone! I am finally up to date with my blogs and I am blogging every night! So, really not much happened today. Dad and Taylor went to the city for an audition. They got back and they had a scary story to tell. Ok, all they elevators up here are extremely small, jumpy, and wooden. They are really crazy. Even if the audition is on the 30th floor, I would much rather take the stairs.  That is an example how bad it is. Well, they got on a small one, went to the 26th floor for the audition. They did it and came back down. Taylor pushed the button, and it shot up to the 27th floor and locked up. Dad thought it was stuck. So, the doors didn't work, it was just sitting there kind of jumping up and down. Dad then pushed the button again and the elevator just dropped for a long time. Then, the brakes finally came on and it slowed down some and locked up at the first floor. They doors finally opened and they scurried out of the elevator quick and got into the lobby. If I were there it would scare me soooo bad! But, they were fine! I have been in two elevators up here that have dropped before. It wasn't far, but even the smallest drop would scare me to death! Well, anyway she got a voice over audition today and some acting thing. Will get the details and dates!

So, I just did school today. I also did a lot of construction on my website. I deleted the updates page and twitter. I added a picture of me over to the right here and re-typed my home page. I also added photos. You now see captions on them at the bottom of the photos when you click on them. Read the beginning of my photo page to see how.

Now, the riddle.... my question was "What has windows but no walls?".  The answer is a computer! I saw that online and thought it was funny so I used it.

The riddle today is "You are in a bathroom with no windows and you decide to take a bath. You shut the door that has no cracks and the knob breaks. You go to turn off the water and the knob on the bath breaks. Water is running! How do you save yourself from drowning?". See my answer to this riddle in my blog tomorrow. If you think you know the answer, put it in the comment you leave me!

More Stories! 10/26/2009
 
   Hey guys! I have a lot to tell. I have not blogged in a while. So, I guess I will just kind of tell everything we have done and kind of compact it into one big, long blog. So, I will start when I left off and go up until now. Dad and Taylor went over to the city for an audition for a LG industrial. So, while they were there they walked by the 'Celebrity Apprentice' filming. They snagged Taylor and filmed her looking at a script. They saw a lot of famous people there. Anyway, Taylor could be on the show! It is so cool. Then, the next day Taylor was having a photoshoot in the city so me and Dad went to a filming of the same show. If you have never seen it, it is a really cool show. Go to www.nbc.com/apprentice to see more about it. But, anyway while me and dad were there we had to sign slips saying it was ok if we were on the show. It was so cool! We saw Cindy Lauper, Maria (the wrestler), Summer Sanders, Sharon Osbourne, a few famous models, and a few more wrestlers. I got my picture with all of them! It was so neat! A few of them were singing and performing. But, the bad news was it was in a very small room and there was about 200 people up in that joint and we were all packed like sardines! It was total chaos! And they had professional photographers there taking pictures of you with the celebrities and they had to print them out for you. So, we waited forever and they just threw like 500 photos of different pictures with different photos on a lunch room style table. So, we all know what happens next.... STAMPEDE TO GET YOUR PHOTO WITH SHARON OSBOURNE AND CINDY LAUPER! It was crazy but we got our photos and hauled! That same day we saw a movie get filmed, we saw men get on a crane and go about 30 floors up and get dropped. They were stunt doubles for Samuel Jackson and Dwane Johnson. It was going to be some kind of action movie.

We also saw the oldest running light house in America. It had 6 foot thick walls. We went on a tour of it and we went on spiral stairs up to the top. They were wrapped so tight in a circle you couldn't see how far up or down you had to go. And plus, the stairs were metal, they weren't long at all and they were steep! And I mean steep! It was really tall, too. But, actually it was really cool.

We went to a huge park where Alexander Hamilton made the first water-powered power plant. There is a huge waterfall in it and he had an idea to get the energy out of the falls. It was an awesome park. It was huge, too.
 
One of my favorite things we did though was we went to a little aviation museum right next to the Teterboro Airport. It was the airport that Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh practiced on. It was the same airport the Hudson river plane was going to land at but couldn't make it. Anyway, it was a very small museum but it was very neat. We were the only ones there. They had small model airline planes, flight simulators, and lots of interactive stuff. They even had a Cessna plane inside the museum that you could get inside and use the joystick and stuff. You could mess with the flaps and rudder on the plane. Then, the coolest thing there was they had a real airline plane you could walk through, they had a staircase rolled up next to it so you could get in and get your picture. You could look at the cockpit, cabins, kitchens, and restrooms on the plane. It was made in 1950, so it was old, but not that much different then our planes today. They also had a gift shop. We got a little foam plane. And me and dad go to the very top floor of the parking structure outside and fly it. It flies really far! It is a huge structure so there are no cars on top. It was tons of fun.

Thats really all we have done. But, Taylor just got in a voice over audition. Will find out the date and tell you guys.

Another thing, I will be doing construction on my website today. I will delete Twitter. I will still have my account, so if you ever get one, you can follow me. I am only taking it off my website because things are popping up while people are trying to read my blog. I will try to post photos soon. I am gonna delete the old ones so get one last look! I might change my home page and do stuff I have done before. So, just letting you all know!
 
I am starting riddles on my website. I will give a riddle, you comment your answer, and the next blog I write I tell the answer. I will try blogging everyday so you get the answer soon. Ok, well, here is the riddle "What has windows, but no walls?"

Comment and tell your answer and check the next blog I write!

Catching up! 10/19/2009
 
     I am so sorry. I haven't blogged in forever, and I promised myself and you guys that I would blog every night. We have been doing so much lately. Taylor did a class, all of them were six hours long. They were on Friday - Today. We also went on an audition today for Burlington Coat Factory. We are still waiting for HBO and other shows. While taylor was doing that me, mom and dad did a lot. We went to a comic book convention and a dog show. We saw celebrities at the comic book convention. Like people from the Terminator movie and William Shatner. I got my picture made with them. I also got my picture made with a man from the band the Monkees. It was kinda fun.

Then, my favorite thing we did was go to a dog show. We petted all the dogs, they let you play games and see the dogs perform in agility. I liked the Hairless Chinese Crested, I have always loved them. If you are wondering what kind of dog that is, just type it in on google images. There was one dog who ran up a man and put his arms around his neck and legs around his stomach, almost like he was a baby. The man held him even though he was HUGE! The dog gave him kisses. He was so cute. They said they had almost every breed of dog there. I loved them all so much. I would take all of them if I could, but I already have a beagle, red bone hound, cat and a turtle. So...... I don't think I could get anymore. Haha.

If twitter isn't working for you, and a thing is popping up, then you need a twitter account and you need to follow me. And one more thing, In the first sentence of this blog, Taylor was going to run downstairs to the lobby and get drinks and candy. So, she left and I wanted to go so, I ran down the hallway and I needed to get there fast before she hopped on the elevator and I leaned forward to run and all of a sudden tripped, rolled, did a flip (feet totally in the air) and hit my knee. I did all this stuff and finally stopped because I was going so fast. Taylor just stared and helped me up. It didn't hurt, I was just laughing so hard.

Will post pics tonight, this blog just covered many days. But, the fall happened today. Lol. So, look at my pictures and please comment. I am about to watch "John and Kate plus 8" and "The Ultimate Cake Off" They are some of my favorite shows.

    Well, today was really fun. We got up and was ready and we went to the IKEA store. We looked at the houses in it. IKEA stores are so cool. You walk into the HUGE room and they have houses set up, and you walk through them and look at the furniture. We also ate there. It sounds weird almost like we ate at the Target snack bar, but we chose to so we could be setting right over Newark airport and we watched huge planes takeoff. Then we went to 'Toys  'R' Us' to buy board games for our suite in Secaucus, NJ. We bought a game and then we went to Liberty State Park. It is right on the Hudson River and across from the Statue of Liberty. I had a Blue Angels Kite in the car, so I decided to fly it. We were flying it for about 30 minutes, then....... It got loose in my hand I accidently let it go. Me and Taylor ran as fast as we could to catch it. Then, the best description of what my sister performed in front of us was that she saved a faceplant by using a tuck and roll technique while wearing a dress and heeled boots, or one of her nice modeling outfits. I kept running, I thought it would eventually come down, but it kept heading for the Hudson, It almost caught on a bench, but it didn't. Then I got sick. I wanted to catch it so bad because I have had it for a while. So I just prayed. Right then it got caught on a fence and my plane landed on the Hudson. I got the string, YAY! But, the plane was far down a steep rip-rap of rocks, so dad climbed down it and retrieved it. He came back up and was safe. So, we were walking to the car with the retrieved plane, then my sister felt her pocket and her iPhone was missing, so we searched in a field and found it. We got in the car with the phone, the plane, and dad. Then the cops come across the park and comes toward us. We thought they must of seen someone climb the fence, so we just kept rolling, they then turned the other way. So, they weren't after us! YAY! Then, we drove to a kroger, went grocery shopping and then we left for our suite and I am now blogging. I am glad I have my kite!

   Hey guys! Today we got up early and boarded a bus to go to the city! We were going to the NBC store to see Jimmy Fallon. We waited in line for about 30 minutes to get to the table, me and Taylor got our picture with him and signed a picture of himself he had. He was sooo nice and funny! After that we went to a mall under the Rockefeller Center. We ate chinese food and then walked down a few blocks to see 'Law and Order: SVU' get filmed, it wasn't going to get filmed until late tonight. It was pretty cool though because we saw trailers where the stars stayed. Thats like an awesome show. Thats really all they play here. So, we watch it all the time. Then we walked to Chealsea market and got a cupcake. It was good. After all of that we went to Gap and then walked to the bus stop and came back here. It was soooo cool. Me, Buddy and Jimmy are tight!

Poll Results: My question was 'What is your favorite animal?' Monkey came in with 68%, Then Dog with 21%, followed by Turtle with 5%, and then Cat and Squirrel with 3%.

Will post photos of me and Jimmy tonight. Watch out for a new poll soon! Pretty hungry, I'm thinking... Outback?.......

    Sorry I haven't been blogging lately everyone. All that has happened is we went to the top of the Empire State Building, went to the top of the rock, took a tour of the SNL set and a few others for different TV shows, The Statue of Liberty and walked through Central Park. My cousins and uncle and aunt have gone home. They left at about 7:00am this morning. When they were here the coolest thing ever happened. We went to the bakery where 'Cake Boss' was filmed. We have gone there before, but this time Buddy, His mom, His sister and a few other people from the show were there! I got my picture made with them! He signed my Cake Boss t-shirt. He is really nice! It was so cool! Will post photos tonight!

Since I haven't blogged lately, that last paragraph just said what we have done for the last few days. This one is telling about all auditions and our plan for Today.... Taylor has gone on Burlington Coat factory, GE, and Pure Protein commercials, she got a callback for the HBO sitcom and is currently at a Nickelodeon sitcom audition. So, today me and mom are staying in the hotel doing school while they are in the city. Then at 3:00pm we will catch a bus to the city and mom will go on some other auditions with her. I am writing this like it hasn't happened because it is almost 10:00am. So... I know my blog is messed up on time and days right now but I will fix it and I will go back to writing at night and talking about that day only. I am super confused about this too.....

Please comment!
