My story

Hi ok so this isn't going to be a tutorial or anything. It's just a deep analysis on how I solve the Rubik's cube and how I average 23 seconds. Note that some of you guys will probably not understand this. I'm mainly writing this as a entrance in improvement. I use CFOP, and I get most of my algs from cyotheking.com For the cross, I go directly into it with no daisy and I rotate once in a while. Having a white edge piece like this:       O     O l In this case, I do a simple R U R' F2, which is something people don't know about and can help save time compared to the D variation. I'm not color neutral by the way, only white. Ok anyway, I try to inspect all of the pieces during inspection. After the cross, I work on F2L, and it's pretty slow, as my look ahead is weak and my case recognition is a bit slim. I mainly like it when white is facing the top, and I inspect to see if any of the respective edges are in a slot, and then if its

This was a short comp, and I really wish that it was longer. I had to go somewhere at 2, causing me to skip 3x3 OH. When I first walked in the venue, it was a small place that was a senior center. :/ I was pretty bummed, but as soon as I walked in BANG. THERE WERE TABLES It's kind of sad how it takes five competitions to finally have on with tables, but DARN it feels good to have a table. REALLY GOOD. The other thing about tables is that it forces you to make friends Ok anyway, I sat down at a table with two Indian highscoolers and two white highschoolers. BOB: Indian Kid #1 BOBBY: Indian kid #2 John: short kid Joey: tall kid with glasses bob and bobby are pretty good friends, and so are John and Joey. The venue was really nice, mainly because of the tables. There were also a lot more stations, which made everything flow better. I was in group 1 of 3x3, so I only got around 10 practice solves before I had to go. SOLVE #1: Was really nervous and had

Instead of Berkeley Winter, the Berkeley cube club decided to organize for Bay Area Speedcubin' 14 in Sunnyvale. Nice! THe venue is going to be different, and I'm excited to see what it's like. It's maxed out in terms of  people.

Every since the Chainsmokers went off for hit after hit during the EDM phase of pop. Afterwards, they've been a wonder. John Fassold made a great video about the Chainsmokers structure when it comes to their songs, but he deleted his channel. A reuploaded video by some random user can be found  here . I'll talk about what that guy didn't talk about: THeir synth breaks. Although Fassold went over it, his synth breaks are usually digital synths with steps. It's so simple and I have no idea why some people enjoy them. Besides the synth, there is only a single bassline with a synth in the background. The only respectable part of the synth break is a transition. The synth is so bland with no pan. It hurts my ears to hear because of the scratchiness. Another really popular song that for some reason a heck ton of asian middle school boys seem to enjoy is Something Just like This. I see no difference in terms of structure and just the overall tone, except fo

I was just grinding 3x3 when I see a flash followed by a large thud near my window. A bird drops down. It was a loud one.\ It left a mark on the glass with feathers. Worried about the bird, I told my dad and we went outside to see if it was okay. Here's the video.  It was probably a small baby bird that just learned to fly, and it got too excited so it flew into the window thinking that there was nothing. D: Afterward, I went outside to show my friend and when I got there the bird flew away and didn't want to return. :D It faded away into the street and it was back to the wild. I thought its foot was broken or something, but it's fine. It was so cute and honestly I have always dreamed about being able to hold a bird, especially the big blue ones in my backyard. One time I literally sat down on a chair in my backyard and held out my arm for around 10 minutes, hoping that the bird would come on my arm... The thing was that it didn't want to leave, and it wa

Sneeze Hiccup Cough Burp Cool things. What do you think happens.... IF TWO OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. I have experienced two of these 6 combinations Sneeze & Cough. This is an experience that you would not like to endure. This happened in class, and when I sneezed and Coughed at the same time I had to immediately cover up my face and get tissues. It was embarrassing and it hurts. The sound is like AAKAAAA Hiccup & Cough What happens when you hiccup and cough at the same time is a high pitched squeak according to my experiences. Your throat stops for a second and it kinda hurts. Okay the sound is like...HUUUUUUU(pronounced as uh) Okay lets visit the next four. Sneeze & Hiccup. What happens. Hmmm. I feel like you'd die lol. Your sneeze may go up your nose and it may feel uncomfortable. The thing is that it's pretty rare for this to happen. The noise may be like a high-pitched KUUUUUUU(pronounced as uh) Sneeze & B

OH MY GODDD. THAT IS HANDS ON THE BEST BUZZER BEATER I'VE WATCHED LIVE.

TRADE DEADLINE IS OFFICIALLY OVER. Let's seem em. Kristaps Porzingis, Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Trey Burk traded to the Mavericks for Dennis Smith Jr., Wesley Matthews, DeAndre Jordan, and first round picks in 2021 and 2023 Kristaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic will be phenomenal, as these two are both exciting players and can create their own shots. The Knicks got a good deal on themselves and are building more and more young players. Anthony Davis stays on the Pelicans As soon as Anthony Davis requested a trade, the Lakers went all in with deals, including one with Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, Zubac, picks, beasley, and rondo. But NOPE. The Pelicans will keep Anthony Davis for probably the offseason on a trade with the celtics possibly. But will the Pelicans even play Anthony Davis? They are officially tanking, and if Davis gets hurt then that will look really bad. I'd say sometimes. not all, but sometimes. Jonathon Simmons and a Cleveland 2nd Round pick for

Hi guys, SO basically 24 Hour Fitness is planning a remodel, and during the process they are going to remove one of the two basketball courts. Lots of people don't like this, because if there's a fullcourt game going on(10 people), then no one else will be able to play. HOwever, with two basketball courts lots of people will be able to play, even if there are 20. SO anyway, if you go to 24 Hour Fitness(San Ramon) please sign  the petition . And if you want to help out more, you can print out some at  here  and ask people to sign. (PS TOny please tell your dad to sign lol)

NOTE: THIS WAS ONE OF THE POSTS THAT I THOUGHT LACKED SOMETHING BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. SORRY IF THIS POST IS TRASH FOR SOME REAOSN IDK. Remember recesses? im sad. In school we got like one hour and 30 minutes of lunch plus a 30 minute recess. It's crazy. And now in middleschool all we have is a tight 33 minute lunch that I believe could be  improved. Ok let's see. what would I do. In Kindergarten, we had this like separate playground and IDK what the heck I did there. In first and second grade, I was really good friends with Joshua and Emerson . Weird how we all have blogs now lol. I was also friends with someone named menim, and I think sameer. Anyway, during recess I remember for like ltierally a year we would play lava monster. It was so darn fun, and I liked to believe that I was the best at it. My strategy was to hang on like one side of the end of the structure and then shift accordingly. Hard to describe but I was rarely "it"

I am probably going to be devastated by Google+ shutting down on April second. I guess it's the best for the workers, but this will affect a lot of things. https://support.google.com/plus/answer/9195133?hl=en&authuser=0 Google+ Posts I've posted some weird posts especially when I was young, and I don't want those to go away. Although I will be able to download them and stuff, it's not the same as being able to see your feed. I also won't be able to share some of my Blogger posts here, and speaking of Blogger. I would recommend creating an Archive . You can add it to Google Drive.  Blogger I have no idea how it's going to work. I have this blog connected to my Google+ account and I have a lot of followers that are from Google+. Not only will I lose followers, but I will have to change and create a blogger profile. Things are definitely going to be weird. All of Emerson's comments are going to be removed. I feel like I won't have to create

Hi IMO procrastinating is a big issue for some people in middle school, as literally for me I just can't not get distracted. Every few minutes I have to check twitter or google+. Then I find a cool video on twitter i open up on YouTube. On the side bar I see a video called "cute kitten is lost...BUT SOMETHING INSANE HAPPENED(MUST WATCH)*NOT CLICKBAIT* *POLICE INVOLVED* Then after taking 1 hour to watch a whole bunch of videos and stuff ok yeah ill stop. You'll find that when you don't procrastinate, u finish ur homework really fast and you have a ton of freetime to use twitter and youtube without being stressed out. SO anyway, here are a couple of tips. The one I find the most useful is this extension called  block site . You can set like tiems and stuff, so like 3-5 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and since on Tuesday you have a class you can set it to like 6-8 or something. HOwever, during winter break and all that u need to reset all that, so I use

If you're wondering why I haven't posted in more than  a week, it's because I felt like every time I finished writing a post, I would feel like there was something missing. I legit was taking it too seriously. I have three posts written up but I odn't feel like posting it. Thanks for appreciating. Anyway, Anthony Davis has requested a trade. Here is what I think the Lakers should trade for him. PELICANS GET: Ivaca Zubac Lonzo Ball Brandon Ingram 2019 1st round pick Kentavious Caldwell Pope Michael Beasley LAKERS GET: Anthony Davis I've been watching a good bit of Lakers games recently and found that although Brandon Ingram is good, I'd like to keep Kyle Kuzma a lot. He's really good at scoring and is just a really solid role player that will only get better. KCP has been inconsistent and you have to offer a couple of young guys so throw in Ball and Zubac. Beasley has been getting barely any minutes, and could use some time in New
