Yesterday, I went to my aunts house for our 4th of July party (it was really late this year). Then we went to Cleveland. On our way home, I was determined not to fall asleep because I didn't to be in a bad mood when I got home. So I listened to my iPod on the way home. It was around one in the morning and we had just gotten in Toledo when a car whizzed by us. I watched the car go by and I was thinking, Wow, where are the police? This guy is going to hurt somebody. Well a little bit behind the car was a police car and way farther back was another cop car. We watched the cars exit and thought that it would be the end that we would see of that chase. A little later, we were going over a bridge and I saw 2 cop cars below us. They too had joined in the chase. It was exciting. My mom said that it was on the news this morning and that they did catch the car.

A couple of days ago, I saw the new Harry Potter movie. I didn't think that I would like it since I've only liked the 1st two. But it was actually funny. Some scenes did go to long and there were multiple times when I was bored, but it wasn't too bad.

Last week, I went to my brothers baseball game. They made it to the finals but they lost. The team that they versed were a dirty team. The short stop would whack the ball on the back of the runners back. It was so loud that I could hear it from where I was sitting. The guy was in the base runners way and the ump didn't say anything about it until my brothers coach said something about it. He was blocking the base. And this is what gets me. Their bats where huge. They had 4 bats that were exactly alike and they looked in good condition. These were the big bats. When my brothers coach asked what size they were, all 4 of those bats sizes had been scraped off so they didn't know and they didn't bother measuring it. The umps were horrible too. The home plate ump was calling strikes that came up to the kids eyes. Our teams coach almost got ejected. He was arguing with all of the umps bad calls. Once the home ump said that the batter did swing at a ball then asked the other ump if he did go and that ump said that he didn't so the home ump changed his call to a ball. The other ump was standing at 2nd so there was no way he could tell it the kid really did swing or not. It's not even his call. And of course, it wasn't our batter. The worst part of the game, I think, was that we had to pay for everyday that we went. I thought that it was a waste of money and that we shouldn't have to pay to watch our brother play. We wasted over $30 (so I thought that we should have had better umps). Anyway my brothers team was runner-ups and that's good. They still got medals and a trophy.
