The Long Walk review

Image
   On Wednesday, September 17th, I saw the Long Walk at the AMC in West Orange. It was based on a novel written by Stephen King. Many of his works were turned into movies and TV Shows.  It was about the United Sates being taken over by a military regime. A second Civil War has happened and the US is in ruins.  The leader of the regime is called the Major. It is unknown about what is real name is. Every year e runs event called the Long walk. Many teenage boys are selected at random to participate. The young people start at the Canadian border for the Long Walk. Ray Garraty was one of these boys that was selected. He meets the other people such as Richard Harkness, Peter McVires, Arthur Baker, Hank Olsen, Collie Parker, etc. Ray and Peter form a close bond. The Major gives the young men water and rations. He said that the rules are if the contestants stop they will get three warnings and than they will get killed. The Major stated that they walk until there is one of ...

My beach vacation in Long Beach Island, New Jersey

Image
  Summer 2025 was great. I was in Long Beach Island, NJ from July 25-August 1 2025. It was me, my mom, my dog Harley, my sister, my brother and his girlfriend. We rented a beach home at North Beach in LBI. It was right by Harvey Cedars. It also had beach access and we went to the beach to swim in the ocean.  We did a lot of amazing things in LBI. Me, my dog Harley and my mom went to Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars. We also saw sunsets there. It was breathtaking! Me, Jared, Abbie and Jaime went mini golfing in Jen's Link's. It is a mini golf place in Barnaget Light. It is a big mini golf corse and we had fun.  We even went out to dinner at the Black Whale seafood restaurant. It is a popular seafood spot in Beach Haven. Me, my mom, my brother and his girlfriend went. I had some lobster there and it was so fresh!  After dinner, we went to Fantasy Island. It is a small amusement park in the same town, which is Beach Haven. We went on some of the rides and played the games. ...

How much I love dogs

Image
 Dogs are my favorite animal. It was even my first word when I was a baby. I find dogs to be beautiful and cuddly. I had a dog named Kipper, who sadly passed away.  Currently, I have a dog named Harley. Harley runs around outside when the weather is nice. She is crazy. My dog Harley sitting on my bed. My dog Harley is a Cockapoo. She likes to play with her toys and eat a lot of dog food. She is six years old, turning seven in December. She came with us on family vacations to Long Beach Island, NJ last year and the year before. I also follow a few dog pages on Instagram. One of them is Sunday, the Golden Retriever. She is very expressive and is a beautiful, brown-eyed baby. Her posts show her howling, the a-woo seal of approval. She makes me smile. The other dog I follow is Comet. She is sneaky thief who sometimes take things. I saw a post where she took some paper plates. That was one of the funniest things ever. I also follow Luna the mini-Cockapoo. It's about her owner askin...

Elio movie review

Image
  This past June 24, I saw the movie Elio at the AMC in West Orange, NJ and I liked it. Disney movies were  part of my childhood and I wanted to see it.   The movie is about a young kid by the name of Elio who lives with his Aunt Olga. His Aunt Olga is in the US Air Force and works for the government.  Elio has trouble making friends and he thinks aliens are real.   While Elio was at his Aunt's place of work, he was able to communicate with the aliens. That caused a power outage. After two bullies beat up Elio on the beach, his Aunt Olga sends him to a summer camp to make friends. He hates it because the kids in the camp do not respect him.  Elio gets abducted by the aliens at the summer camp that he was at. He meets some weird aliens such as a liquid super computer named Ooooo. While there he shares knowledge of the planet Earth with the aliens and the aliens make Elio their leader.  Then the alien ambassadors hold an emergency meeting. Lord Grigon, a...

My trip to Miami Florida

Image
I was in Miami, Florida for Father's Day weekend. I was there from June 13-16.  I had an early morning flight from Newark International Airport to Miami International Airport on June 13. When I landed in Miami, Florida, I was astounded. I was  astounded by the palm trees as well as the warm weather. My dad was on the plane with me from NJ to FL.  My dad rented a condo in Miami, Florida and we stayed there. We went to the beach and the pool to go swimming. The water was warm when I was swimming in the ocean. We went for a walk one time and we saw the boats there. The boats were huge!   Me and my dad went out to dinner as well. On Friday night we went out to Carpaccio which is an Italian restaurant in Bal Harbour, Florida. It was so good! We had a Caesar salad as well as fried calamari to start with for an appetizer. For a main course I had a pasta dish. It was delicious.  On Saturday, I saw my brother, Jared and his girlfriend, Abbie at Jaya, with is an Asian res...

Things I like to do during the summer

Image
  Memorial Day weekend was last week and is the start of summer. I am busy a lot during the summer months. Here are some things I like to do during the summer.  One of the things I like to do is go to the beach. I have been to many beaches in NJ such as Hathaway Beach in Deal, Eighth Avenue beach in Asbury Park, West End Beach in Long Branch as well as the beaches in LBI and Ventnor.   Beautiful sunset in Asbury Park I have been to  Jenkinson's Boardwalk in Point  Pleasant, NJ and I think it is cool.    I enjoy the beach because of the ocean as well as the seashells. I have been walking on the beach with my family and friends for many years. The NJ shore is so much fun.  Another activity I like to do is to go to the Turtle Back Zoo. It is in West Orange, NJ and is not far for me. I have been there many times in the past and I enjoy it. My favorite animals are the flamingos as well as the giraffes. I am going to the Turtle Back Zoo on June 1st...

Chiller April 2025

Image
This past April 26th, I was at the Chiller Theater Convention. I usually go in the month of April. It is held twice a year which is October and April. I like going to the April one because you do a lot more stuff during the spring. It is located at the Hilton Hotel in Parsippany, NJ. Chiller Theater is a convention where you can meet many famous people. The people acted in many kinds of movies and TV shows.  I went with my friend Jessy Leppert. He was the one who got me into the Chiller Theater convention. I went with him in the past.  First, me and Jessy met David Joyner. He was in the original Barney. He was in the Barney costume and Bob West did the voice for it. I got an autograph from him and Jessy and I took a picture with him. I had a Barney themed birthday party for my first birthday.  Jessy and I had a photo op with Loretta Swit, Margret Houlihan in the tv show MASH. My mom watched that show with my grandparents Grandma Gail and Poppy Bob back when they were stil...
