Incredible Detectives Make Me Smile :)

These detectives I speak of go by the names of Shawn Spencer and Sherlock Holmes. I watched Sherlock Holmes a Game of Shadows tonight, and I realized how alike Shawn and Sherlock are. They are both people who have incredible abilities to see every detail around them and be humorous while doing so. The only difference is, Shawn pretends he is a psychic so he can get a job, whereas Sherlock just says screw this, I'm british and awesome. Who needs money? But he somehow still seems to have money, which I feel like he just scams people out of and mooches from Watson. Watson and Gus are alike as well, they are the assistants who are still awesome and who have actual lives outside of the detective/psychic work. Watson gets married, Gus works as a pharmaceutical salesman, they would still be set for life without the fun work they do with Sherlock and Shawn. But the real question is, what if Shawn and Gus and Sherlock and Watson met?

I feel like Shawn would get punched in the face then friended, because that is just how strange Sherlock is. Sherlock would probably also realize how Shawn is a fake psychic who has the same type of abilities as he does. Except, Shawn can kind of see the past from things he finds, and Sherlock can see what will happen in certain situations, so they are kind of the opposite. Which is strange, because Shawn advertises himself as someone who can see the future, but that person is really Sherlock. A bunch of people have things all over the internet about how Psych and the Sherlock movies are similar but I could only read like one of them because the school computer blocks everything and I am too lazy to use another device with internet. But, because I came up with the idea very recently, mine is obviously the best idea. Don't tell the others though. I now realize that my post was about how they make me smile, and I haven't really said anything about that. So, let it be known that everything I have said above makes me smile, and I hope that incredible detectives like Shawn and Sherlock make you smile :)

My Soccer Team Makes Me Smile :)

So I had a soccer game today in Logan, and we won! I am so happy but also really tired. I played the whole game, which I like because I like starting and I like finishing. Basically, I only need a break in the middle, and we call that halftime. Overall it went pretty well. It was our first win of the season, we got a shutout 3-0. One goal was good timing, the other was a penalty kick, and the last was a rebound. Julia from the blog Just Julia scored the first two, Caitlin from The Li'l Bro Blog scored that last one. It was really great. But that isn't the reason my team makes me smile, because that was our first win of the season. We have had four games total. You can check out our stats here. Be warned, we have been sucking so far, we are last place. I don;t have a picture of our current team, so here is one of our team last year:

Most of us are looking at a different camera, but your get the jist. 
The real reason my team is so great is because we are basically just awesome people. Everyone on the team is funny and we get along really well. Our coach says we are a team of boys, because apparently we act like them. I always see stuff on Pinterest and iFunny about how girls compliment each other and don't mean it and guys insult each other and don't mean it. We are more like the second one, which is why we work so well together. Nobody gets easily offended, there is no drama, and we aren't afraid to push each other around. Which translates well to the game, because we play extra aggressively against the girls we don't know. As Lindsay from the blog Living Life as Lindsay says, yellow is our favorite color! Getting a yellow card is like getting a gold metal. As long as it's a good one. If someone hurts one of our girls, we will get back at them, and if that results in a yellow card than that is the best kind. If it's just tapping someone and they flop, it's still pretty good, just not as rewarding. On that note, I bid you ado and remember to smile, smile, smile :)

Wizards of Waverly Place Makes Me Smile :)

Quite recently, Disney came out with a new Wizards of Waverly place movie. It was literally the highlight of my life. So far...hopefully. Anyways, it was so great! Alex became the family wizard, Max owned the Sub Shop, and Justin was the professor of WizTech! Of course, you already knew that. And, knowing Alex like I do, I figured that she would get into a lot of trouble with all that power she has. I was not disappointed. (SPOILER ALERT: the whole rest of this post has spoiler alerts about the movie) See, Alex is very irresponsible with her magic, and her parents have been getting on her case about it. I can't blame her, I mean if I had that much magic I would go crazy. But, she was fed up with them, so she decided (with a little persuasion from Dominic, the hot bad guy) to cast out all of her bad parts. Dun dun dunnnn......

Wizards Now...

This choice was not the best, because her bad self found a way to escape and take over the world. Oops. She started capturing her family and friends in little beads on her charm bracelet, for leverage. The thing is, bad Alex was just a piece of Alex, so she didn't have as strong of power as good Alex did. Dominic and bad Alex (I'm going to call her BA from now on, and good Alex GA) came up with a machine that imprisoned mortals in beads. I guess they had a theme, or they just loved jewelry. So, GA had to come up with a way to stop BA and Dominic without losing her loved ones forever. One little snag, right before GA's plan was about to take place, the Crystals of Justice intervened. They thought GA did all the stuff BA did because, well, she kind of did. I mean, it's the same person, right? And they found her guilty, but Mason went all werewolf on the bead he was in and escaped, and then broke GA out of her holding cell. Eventually, GA defeats BA by casting off her own powers, which made BA's go away too. The Crystals of Justice came back and almost didn't give her back her powers, because she endangered the world so many times, but they did eventually. Bad move, I think, but I'm happy they did because Alex (GA and BA) is like my favorite person ever. So yeah, that's how my entire childhood came back to life in one single movie. It was only an hour movie, but the emotional-ness of it will last a lifetime. Until next week, relive your childhood and smile :)
