Today was a great day. I went to the Flyers' game. I would like to make more comments about Valentine's Day. I wish I could have danced with Lindy. She is the only girl I like. Johnny think I should deck Craig "The Dork" Kauffman. I got to go now. See you on Friday. Good Bye!

Today was, and I mean it, today was an average day. I did good when we were kicking the football at recess. I think Lindy likes Ashley. I really don't think so. I don't see why alot of the girls find Ashley cute. I think his face is not the kind of face that alot of girls would go crazy over. I think Reading is very fun. Mr. Brown is a good teacher. Sometimes he is very weird, but he is good. There is a big hole in our yard because we're getting a new septic system. Good Bye!

Today was a great day! I got a lot of excercise. I rode my bike, play a self game of basketball and we went to a tennis court. At church we played football. Something strange is happening. On the weekends, I miss Lindy. I'm not her boyfriend but I guess I do sort of like her. Tomorrow we are going to tennis at the Cheltenham racket club. Good Bye!

Today the Rydal Bowl was canceled. It was canceled because everything was beginning to get disorganized. I didn't even know what teams some of the kids were playing on. In chorus I got up on the Honor Roll. I played Daddy in Tecmo Bowl and beat him. I also played him in Double Dribble 3 times and beat all 3. He has never beaten me. Good Bye.

Today was a great day. In reading Mr. Brown gave me a challenging poem to memorize. Then Mr. Wank show the Metric System. He showed us that the Metric System was a snap. At recess (both ones) we played the first half of the Rydal Bowl. So far in the first half our team is winning 35-28. I made a magnificent interception. Daddy and I played Tecmo Bowl and Double Dribble. I beat him in Tecmo Bowl. In Double Dribble we tied at a very suspenseful game. Dad has gotten better. Good Bye!

Today was an okay day. At first a lot of the kids made fun of me because I had cologne on. I had to tell them a lie that Daddy had sprinkled it on me. Oh Well! Otherwise today was great. I had Enrichment. For Enrichment, Mrs. Powell let us have a 20 minute recess. During that time we played football. The teams were me and Scott J. vs. Andrew and Gary while Eric was steady QB. The score was 28-2! We won. I had 3 TD's and Scott had one. Good bye!!

Today was a good day. At saxophone I got an A+. Then we had a science test. It was one of the simplest tests ever. I think I got at most two wrong. The questions were 4 points each. Then at 11:05 we met for Junior Great Books. We had a dumb substitute who didn't care about what we did. She was our Junior Great Books sub. Then we had Ensemble. The rest of the day was pretty good. I do not like Shawn Markin that much. I think Michael is a real jerk. Mr. Brown is one of the best teachers. He is funny. Good Bye.

Today was a great day. Andrew Sepielli tied with Micah Kagan for the Georgraphy Bee. Today I got a great 49ers shirt that Daddy gave me. I also got a 49ers pennant. Another thing that Daddy got me was a wine bottle fit with little M&M-like candies. I have a great rock song in my saxophone book. It is better than A Touch of Rock. In art I have a design for our collages. I think the Science test tomorrow will be hard. Good Bye!! !!

I tell you. These past two days have been great. Today at Church Mr. Keshkegian did a divine liturgy service in assembly today. After that while Adrina was at her birthday party Mommy and I went shopping and then went to McDonalds. After that we picked up Adrina when the party was over. When we got hom eI was allowed to go to Adam Kutcher's house. We played some Monopoly. Then we played some Nintendo. We were having so much fun that the time passed by quickly. Good Bye!

Today was great. I went to Kieth's birthday party. I like Lindy a little bit. I saw her at the party. It was a bowling party. After the birthday party we went straight to the movies to meet Maria and Kimberly. We saw a movie called "Driving Miss Daisy." It was a funny movie. After that we went to a Mexican restaurant called El Sombrero. Back to the party. I don't know why Lissy keeps saying its sweet that Lindy and I both got a score of 59. Good Bye!

It's not that today was a bad day. It just wasn't a great. I love mommy. She is so nice. When you think about she and Daddy have spent about $30,000,000 dollars on Adrina and I put together. Plus, all the Christmas presents and everything. I think I like Lindsey Rose as a friend. I love the idea of having $1,000,000,000. I would give it all to the AEA. That stands for the Armenian Earthquake Association. Now about today, today started out good. We had a geography bee. The winners were Andrew and Adi. Joey is conceited. I think this because he always says he is the greatest at everything. Even when we play football. He sucks at football. Then again, he could be kidding.

Today was an okay day. We did the Enrichment projects. Lissy picked me to do the Wheel of Robots with them (I did mine also). I really screwed up. I think their project was great. Our project turned out great. We did very good. We also got our compositions ready. Mr. Brown corrected mine and he told me it was great. I hate Lindsey. I like Max Coslov and Noah Coslov alot. If I could change one thing about Noah it would be for him to be in my class. Good Bye!

Today was a good day! IT was good because I felt free. I felt as if I didn't have a care in the world. I think (I know) I don't like Lindy anymore. She just doesn't appeal to me. I mean I like her as a friend but not as a girlfriend. I can't wait for our Enrichment presentation tommorrow. We were supposed to have it last week but our teacher wasn't their. Some kids didn't have theirs finished! Good Bye!

WELL, There certainly seems to be some enthusiasm out there for this little blog! It seems that people from all across the country, and yes - even across the world - have found a connection with these diary entries! Yesterday we had BY FAR the most hits EVER to this page. I make no money off of this page - but I get excited over the hits simply because I know that the stories and humor are reaching more people!

It's become what I truly hoped it would - a way for all of us to take a minute each day and turn the clock to a more innocent time - before rent, mortgages, and careers - to where are thoughts were childish, but in a sense - more pure.

Take this entry for example - imagine, as a ten year old - being cooped up day after day and FINALLY, "regular recess" - as opposed to "indoor recess" - the 5th grader's equivalent to prison (with board games). And the politics of the sports at recess were intense! Who made the best play, who was going to be picked to be on the team first, and so on and so forth.

As I have stated on facebook (but I know not everyone here is on facebook), these are going to be updated DAILY from now on...Please follow along and pardon any of this ten year old's grammatical/spelling errors....I welcome all comments/discussions so please leave your thoughts!

Very truly yours,

MR. TRIG

Today was an OK day. I mean I got alot of work done but all day I was coughing and felt tired. Also my nose was stuffy. Aaron Garheimer I think isn't that nice. He has a major celebration every he something good in football. Sam is even worse. If you try to agree with him he finds some way to disagree. Those two kids are really hard to tolerate! Today we had regular recess for the first time in a long time! Good Bye!

Today was a great day. The super-bowl XXIV was great. The Sanfrancisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 55-10. And the Bud Bowl II was also great. The Bud Bowl is a football game between Budweiser and Bud Light. I wanted Bud Light to win. In the beginning of the game Bud Light was winning 13-3. So were the 49ers!!!!! Anyway, it turned out that Bud Weiser won at a score of 37-34. It was all because of a Last Minute touchdown for Bud Weiser. Today was awesome. Good Bye!

Mommy and Daddy went out tonight. Pop-Pop is babysitting us. I love it when he babysits us. I wrote a journal call "The Garibian Journal." In school, I think I like Lindy. I don't want to admit it because I'd like to try and meet an Armenian girlfriend. But I have to admit I do like Lindy now. I don't know why I didn't used to. I love Rydal school and feel very lucky to be so fortunate!

Today was an OK day. It started out very good. Ashley Baquero taught me a good short cut to get to the classroom after the hockey game ends. As a result, I had my homework in my folders and my stuff away before some kids even entered the room!! Also, I've noticed that I'm beginning to like Lindy Foxx. I would rather have a girlfriend who was Armenian. Michael Landsberg is now a pretty nice kid. What I said to Adam about not meaning what I said to Michael. That was a lie. Good Bye!

Today my feelings were severely hurt. They were hurt in music class. In the song I was going to play (Jeopardy) there were a couple flats. I don't know how to play flats! Since I don't know how to play flats it didn't sound exactly right. Well, I sure payed for it! Those kids were laughing and yelling. Lissy had the nerve to say "He's out of tune!" Mrs. Schleigal told the kids who were making fun of me off. Good Bye!
