A little about me...

Hi! I’m Alessandro. I started this blog in 2012, and I'm now in my 20s. I still have a sister named Elise; she is no longer 6 years old, nor in girl scouts. Of course, I was, but no longer am, in scouts as well. I occasionally live by the beach and I do still have a HUGE extended family all over the US and Mexico. Some of my favorite words continue to be pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis and terraqueous. I am really good at math, science, magic and building things. Since then, I've picked up singing and dancing, and a few languages as well. I study Mechanical Engineering and Physics at MIT, and though I am no longer 8 years old , I still really like Legos. I also maintain my interest in circuitry. That’s mostly it. Bye for now.

Christmas comes to Seal Beach...

It's starting too look a lot more christmasy here ! All these weird things are happening! Although usually they would put snow play somewhere colder, this is the beach! There are so many bright lights around trees, things, and places. I just love Christmas!

King of the Cliff!

Sand Surfing!



If you do not already know, we live down the street from the beach. Well, this winter season, they made gigantic sand barricades on the beach, at the highest height of 10ft.! You should really go there if you haven't done it already. But the best part is, you can sled down the barricade! These images and videos show me surfing down the wall of sand. Enjoy!

Nature Encounter!


So I'm at Rush Park with my family for my sister's soccer game. We get out of the car. I was walking from the car and I was about to climb this tree.When I saw the green praying mantis(lower photo) and showed my parents and my sister. Then, when I looked up again, I saw a bigger brown one! (below) I felt really good about myself because you need really good eyesight to see a camouflaged animal!

Fwd: ...and they're off!



Den 6 at PWD 2012!



Check out my car the 'light racer' in the third lane...




Fwd: Derby Day!

Today is the pinewood derby. A lot of cub scouts come to this derby to see their car race on the track! My car was orange with two red LED's and two green LED's. It is now called the light racer. I felt really good about this occasion and I have faith in my car!

The first coat!

The video up here shows me spraying my light racer with spray paint. Wish me luck for the race!

"Light Racer" in progress

This is me spray-painting my Light Racer with different coats. We spray the down-side with black (to attract heat), and the top orange (to make the lights stand out). This is going to be great!

Pinewood Derby Time!


 This is me building my car that is going to light up! To be able to achieve this task, we will build a circuit on top of our car. I am doing this because it is a scout requirement. I think it is very interesting!

Trick-Or-Treat!

Spinjitzu Master in the kitchen?!

He strikes!
Me and my friends Will (the USC Fanatic),
Jack D. (the airline pilot), James (the Army Ranger)
and Ian (the Raiders player).

Sensei Wu is on the loose! He was found in Seal Beach, CA at his Halloween party. They put on the song gangnam style and he went out from the dinner table and stated doing the gangnam style dance. After that, we all went trick-or-treating. I got a lot of candy!
