But I will help you find some good songs for this contest, if you'd like.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This first song's title says it all, because:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-jsgousZcA"&gt;We're Not Gonna Take It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since I can't have anything solid for a while, I might have to have one of these:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS9Ll02CNjU"&gt;Black Cow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And since I can't eat some things, I'm actually feeling pretty:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLLweEwG8Ss"&gt;Nasty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad, what are some other songs that might work for this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, let's think about this, Maria. You're in a bad mood about this, right?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;You figured that out, huh Dad? Yes, I'm not happy right now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Okay, when I get angry I try to pick a song that makes me happy. Is there a song that makes you happy?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, this one always makes me happy:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VCUbL7jsc"&gt;Rockin' Robin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad, do you think Gino has a shirt like those? I'll bet he does. Anyway, this one makes me happy, too:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wjSvmwtuI8"&gt;Hoe Down Throw Down&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm feeling a little better now. People should vote for their favorite. And one more thing, Dad --&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;What's that, Maria?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Go get me one of those black cows, would ya!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/204796899342863614-211279227690743658?l=fearlessmaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/feeds/211279227690743658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=204796899342863614&amp;postID=211279227690743658' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/211279227690743658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/211279227690743658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/2009/03/guilty-pleasures-part-forty-one-marias.html' title='Guilty Pleasures Part Forty-One -- Maria&apos;s Had Enough of this Crazy Nonsense!'/><author><name>Fearless Maria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00260833459150898889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/TFdiGEABdlI/AAAAAAAAAEE/GrfktiOeWGA/S220/main+characters+from+LK.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/Sc0XCK4me0I/AAAAAAAAADA/Gu4L5-xwMC8/s72-c/Twisted+Sister.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204796899342863614.post-7376265955395916082</id><published>2009-02-07T14:47:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T15:09:15.775-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Maria is Confused About Politics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/SY34ampfH3I/AAAAAAAAACg/3AxffhC0z_s/s1600-h/Susan+B.+Anthony.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300165472419782514" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 255px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/SY34ampfH3I/AAAAAAAAACg/3AxffhC0z_s/s320/Susan+B.+Anthony.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm back! And as you can see in our wonderful title that for some reason I am very confused about politics. It doesn't make any sense -- people are cheating at who they vote for!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I thought America was fair, but apparently it isn't all the time. Like for instance, everyone is making votes that don't count, count. I mean, what's the point of that? How do people know that so-and-so will be a better leader? It doesn't make any sense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But since I don't know much about politics, I'd rather talk about what I do like (or what I don't like). And as you can see in the picture, it is our wonderful Susan B. Anthony, who I am doing a report on for school. And fortunately, things have changed since she was alive. But also, women are voting but some are voting unfairly (as well as some men).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, back to the fact that WE HAVE A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that you might have already read this on my dad's blog (Mr. Dilettante), but I want to talk about what I like about it! First, it has an awesome drink stand! You press a button that says "push," and it makes a small sound and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pops up&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, plus it has three power outlets, two in the front and one in the back! That's great for plugging in portable video games! It makes me &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCPbL4yA7ik"&gt;think about this song&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And now for my ending joke. You know how much you like my ending jokes, right? Right? Tell me, people!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ending joke is: what is the only authority in music more important than the teacher? The musical staff!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/204796899342863614-7376265955395916082?l=fearlessmaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/feeds/7376265955395916082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=204796899342863614&amp;postID=7376265955395916082' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/7376265955395916082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/7376265955395916082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/2009/02/maria-is-confused-about-politics.html' title='Maria is Confused About Politics'/><author><name>Fearless Maria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00260833459150898889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/TFdiGEABdlI/AAAAAAAAAEE/GrfktiOeWGA/S220/main+characters+from+LK.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/SY34ampfH3I/AAAAAAAAACg/3AxffhC0z_s/s72-c/Susan+B.+Anthony.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204796899342863614.post-3865528177535531882</id><published>2008-09-20T14:14:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-20T14:22:24.404-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Why I Don't Like Hip Hop, From A to Z</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/SNVNUzK7C8I/AAAAAAAAAB0/I62W7hC_U6k/s1600-h/No+Hip+Hop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248185960498924482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/SNVNUzK7C8I/AAAAAAAAAB0/I62W7hC_U6k/s320/No+Hip+Hop.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't like Hip-Hop, people.

Now here is a list of things that I love about summer and that you can do in summer!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Parties! I have already been to a few birthday parties this summer and there will be more!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reading program! I get to read in the Ramsey County Library program and when I read 20 hours, I get prizes! And it's awesome!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Softball/Baseball! I am playing softball this year and it's fun! We are the Blueberry Bombers and we are having a great season!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hanging out with friends! I have been having fun with my friends at park program and have played with a bunch of my friends this summer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;I went to Girl Scout Day Camp last week and it was awesome! We got to go swimming every day, which was AWESOME!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Movies!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;And FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, people, believe me.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now for the second news of the day. WE'RE GOING TO CHICAGO! WE'RE GOING TO CHICAGO! HA HA HA HA HA, YOU MAYBE AREN'T! Sorry if I made you guys feel bad. And we get to go to a bunch of different places when we get there, but I forget what they are called. You know that I do pay attention in language arts, but sometimes it's hard to remember how hard English is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for the ending news - HAVE A GREAT SUMMER, PEOPLE!!!!!!! And our ending joke for the day: Why couldn't the skeleton cross the road? He didn't have the guts to do it! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lenny wrecks freedom, ya know, because he tells me that I can't have fruit punch at Culver's AND, PLUS, he says I need to choose which condiment to have, ketchup or mustard, but not both. But, HA! I like them both and I'm going to eat them. So hahaha on you, Lenny Benny!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Okay the news of the day ties into a contest: which do you like better? Ketchup, or mustard. You'd better answer or get another time out! P.S. your timeout will be with the zombies that wreck your brain and put you on the roof! So please, answer pretty pleeeeeease! You can't say no to an 8 year old girl, now can you? Now I'll stop being a wise girl. Now, please just vote.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do you like:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A.

Look at the cute Rudolph next to you! Hey hey hey! What's up with you? Don't call him Pinocchio! It's okay, little buddy Rudolph. If they want to pick on someone, next time they'll think twice and pick on Godzilla.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;See, watch out, here comes Godzilla! For real! See? All right, now let's hear the jolly part!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where are you going for Christmas, folks? Hopefully not anywhere that Godzilla is, or inside a computer virus. What would you like for Christmas? I bet all the grownups want a nice, smooth coffee mug. Ooh, how about one that says, "I Like Fearless Maria &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; About Me?" That would be a really thoughtful gift, don't you think?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I bet all the kids love to play in the snow. Well, of course they do. Well, most of them. I sure do. And the grownups are sitting there shoveling and feeling like a prune. What do you have on top of your Christmas tree? Do you have a cheeseburger? Do you have a tankful of guppies? And how would that balance on top of a Christmas tree? That would be pretty tricky, don't you think?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hey, look - maybe you have a star that says "Joy to the World, the Joy Joy Joy," with a thousand other joys behind that. Have you peeked at your presents? Don't be a naughty little girl or boy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now let's hear from our guest stuffed animal, Chubby.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hewwo, my name is Chubby! The dog. Excuse me, is this microphone working? I'm twyying to do my interview, so cut it out, Marvin the Martian! Oh, sowwy sowwy sowwy. What I want for Chwistmas is the newest version of Frosty Paws! I take my Frosty Paws and dip them in mozzarella cheese. And cheddoh. And then I would also wike a twampoline that looks like a T-Bone Steak. That would be awesome! Do you have a pet at home? What is its name? Is it Wubba Wobba Weeba? Is it Cuwly Ball? I'd wove to know. So pwease send a cowment. Bye bye, folks!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank you very much, Chubby!  We'll see you next time on the Fearless Maria Show!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAABOOOOWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE!

Because those two clowns always do fearless stuff.  But I'm even more fearless than those clowns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you want to know why I put birthday bash?  If you were to look on my other blog, About Me (&lt;a href="http://www.aboutmaria.blogspot.com/"&gt;www.aboutmaria.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;), on the post "Turkey Day," it was my brother's birthday.  He was the first of all the birthdays at this time of year.  Now tomorrow is the second.  Dum da da da dum.  Dum da da dum.  MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HE'S TURNING 44!  Hooray!  At least he's not old enough to be a grandpa yet, because then he wouldn't be my dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oops, I forgot something.  I'm very sorry my first post does not tell a lot about me.  So here are some things you might want to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like rock and roll.&lt;br /&gt;I love the snow.&lt;br /&gt;I love Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;I hate having a cold, like I do now.&lt;br /&gt;I do not have a pet.&lt;br /&gt;My best friend is a girl named Kaley Elizabeth Lawrence.&lt;br /&gt;I am a Girl Scout.&lt;br /&gt;I'm one of the only girls that's favorite color is red, not exactly pink.&lt;br /&gt;I love art.&lt;br /&gt;I love Polly Pockets, Bratz and Barbies.&lt;br /&gt;I have a bajillion stuffed animals.&lt;br /&gt;My favorite animal is a dog.&lt;br /&gt;I like to sing.&lt;br /&gt;I like most holidays.&lt;br /&gt;My teacher's name is Mr. Opheim.&lt;br /&gt;My art teacher is Mr. Trampf.&lt;br /&gt;My music teacher is Mrs. Krejcarek.&lt;br /&gt;My science teacher is Mrs. Rieke.&lt;br /&gt;My gym teacher is Mrs. Brandt.&lt;br /&gt;My gym partner's a monkey.  No, that's not true.  That's a cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;My favorite Girl Scout Cookie is the new Little Brownies.&lt;br /&gt;I love to be silly.&lt;br /&gt;My best friend Kaley has two cats, one named Midnight Sally, and the other Sam.&lt;br /&gt;I'm in Student Council.&lt;br /&gt;I want a Nintendo DS or a GameBoy Advance.&lt;br /&gt;I love, and I mean LOVE, Pokemon.&lt;br /&gt;But most of all, even though I might have some fears, I am mostly fearless.  I am... Fearless Maria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there's your grapeshot of things.  Here are just a couple of jokes to add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's go through the weird, weird refrigerator and die!  No, let's not die.  But anyway, have you ever heard the song "The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven"?  Here's why it shot out - whoever stuffed that turkey, stuffed it with popcorn that hadn't been popped.  Figgedy figgedy foo.  Who likes guinea pigs that eat goo?  Little Mary Moomoopoo.  It's a fancy fashion show for turkeys. &lt;br /&gt;Everybody will sit in the microwave and get electric shocked by a Pikachu.  Choo choo pika!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's all for the first post.  Hope to see you again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your new narrator,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fearless Maria&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/204796899342863614-2467526998676909857?l=fearlessmaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/feeds/2467526998676909857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=204796899342863614&amp;postID=2467526998676909857' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/2467526998676909857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/204796899342863614/posts/default/2467526998676909857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fearlessmaria.blogspot.com/2007/12/first-of-posts-first-of-birthday-bashes.html' title='First of the Posts, First of the Birthday Bashes'/><author><name>Fearless Maria</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00260833459150898889</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BKKqnDR9yDM/TFdiGEABdlI/AAAAAAAAAEE/GrfktiOeWGA/S220/main+characters+from+LK.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
