Start of Summer

      Summer is starting soon. It's hard to believe that the school year is already over. It keeps going faster and faster each year. I'm not complaining, though.
      This summer I don't really have a whole lot planned. Baseball will take up most of the summer, and that's fine by me. I love playing baseball. I'm a catcher. It gets pretty hot behind the plate later on in the summer, but I still like it. We play 3 games a week most of the time, so I won't have a whole lot of time to do other stuff. I want to try to get to the pool more than once, which is how many times I went last year.

      In July, the MLB All Star Game and Home Run Derby are in Kansas City. I would love to try to go to that, and we don't have baseball games on those days. Unfortunately, the tickets are ridiculously expensive, so it's not looking good. Then, as soon as baseball is over, we have the Central Football Camp for 3 days. After that, real practice starts, and then school starts again. It seems short when I write it all out like this, but hopefully, I can make it last.

Photoshop Before/After

I chose Starlin Castro because he is my favorite baseball player right now. This image let me highlight all of the Cubs colors.

I thought that this picture was pretty cool. The lake reflects the mountain and stuff, and it turned out pretty good.

If I were a Television Producer...

TV these days kind of sucks. Almost every show seems like the same thing. I guess it would be great if you are obsessed with super serious cops, or wise-cracking cops, or troubled cops, or cops in exotic places, or cops with amnesia, or maybe even psychic cops, but if you want to watch literally anything else, it seems you're out of luck. If I were in charge of making a show, I would want to make something like nothing else on TV.

The best shows are the ones that have something nobody else has. The Walking Dead has zombies. SportsCenter has sports. Any new show needs something new and exciting. I would find that new thing and market it like crazy. If their is enough hype built up for it, it doesn't matter how good it is for the first few episodes, the ratings will be there. If their isn't very good quality though, you'll lose everybody after the first episodes. So I'll have to make sure the show is good enough to keep an audience. If I can do that, I'll be gold, and America will have a new, good show.
