POST by SEZ: A Night Out in Nicaragua

Sez & Billy, several years ago...

One day, I went to the movies with my little step brother, Billy. We went to watch Iron Man Three. Some parts were scary, but the whole movie wasn’t that scary, but my mom closed Billy’s eyes real fast. We ate Mc Donald’s, not popcorn, not hot dogs, not even candy. We ate hamburgers, fry’s, we drank Coca Cola, it was delouses.

Sezni turning 11 years old - sporting new lego toys from cousin Kias

On Thursday it was my birthday and my cousin Kias gave me a big ship. It has like three hundred lego bits to it. It has a sailor, a soldier, a patrol, and two aliens. The ship has missiles, rockets, and guns and it has a machine at the end of the ship. It has a tiny boat and the machine can grab the boat in the ocean and pull it back up. The ship also has suits for going in the water. It has two wacky tokay’s and gas and more! It took me six hours to build one big ship and with five people and a tiny ship.

I love my cousin Kias!

Sezni asking to Play with Fire

One night, I went to do our play. After that I saw a fire dancer with hollow hoops, swords and a stick. My mom and dad wanted me try using a stick with fire on the ends. They let me in the fire dance with a fire stick - I was doing it! I was afraid, nervous, and I never youse a stick of fire before I yoused it for five minutes  and I gave the stick back. My dad said “that’s awesome” and it was awesome.

Burney Burney  bye!

POST by SEZNI: San Skating

Sezni, skating in San Carlos (San Francisco), California

I learned how to skate board at San Francisco. At San Francisco we were living at a church and at the church I saw they had a skate park, so I wanted to practice. I was going to learn skateboarding because I wanted to be good at it.

I went to do skateboarding with a board that has wheels. I practice and I’m really good at skateboarding. I know how to go sideways I know how to turn and many more things. I practice a lot, one hour and almost thirty minutes a day. I even painted the boards with my brother, Rafael Brien. We painted swords and skulls with my teacher and my favorite board to ride was a board with a green mushroom. Number two was my favorite board. I used number one too, it was my second favorite board to ride. Some days I practiced for almost two hours and thirty minutes, but only when I had free time. I had too much fun!

POST by SEZ: On the Streets in Sacramento

Homelessness in Sacramento

On Tuesday, we gave thirty-two bags to people. Some people were walking, others were on bicycles and skate boards. We gave them clothes, food and water. Some people sleep under bridges and in tents, and there were thousands of people we didn’t help. 

Taking it to the STREETS, with New Life & the Dream Center in Sacramento, CA

Some people thanked us and some people didn’t thank us and we only had thirty-two bags, so some people got a bag and some people didn’t. In the bag we had cookies, clothes, chocolates, a banana and a bottle of water.

The "American Dream" isn't so Dreamy for Some...

We gave people these bags because they are poor and don’t have a family or a home.

We saw literally HUNDREDS of Homeless People in Downtown Sacramento

POST by SEZ: Fill My (or your) Cup & Let it Overflow

Capital on the Edge, Street Theatre Evangelism Tour of California

On Tuesday,  I was going to California. My family; my Mom, my Dad, Fran, Renz, Sez, Raf, Anna, Stivey, Becker, Rene, Yordi, Eliezer, Yada, Jonny, and Eric were going on the plane with me. 

Anna lives in the USA and the boys live in Nicaragua. My brother was born in the Estados Unidos, but my sisters and my dad are from Australia. My mom lives in England.

It took seven hours to get to LAX, we were off the plane and we took a break in Miami. 

My Dad bought sandwiches, but he didn’t have enough money for a drink for everybody.  But I saw a cup on the table and no one was using it.  I took it and I saw a soda machine with soda.  I went to the soda machine and I shared it with everyone.

It’s so easy to give of yourself when people are grateful.

Rene on the Tramp

On Monday I started to teach kids front flip on the trampoline. First we had to stretch, so we stretched our hands, arms, legs, feet and we did a few jumping jacks. When we started to finish our stretches we went to the trampoline. 

When we got on we had to jump first before they would do a flip. I have a partner, do you know what his name is? It’s Rene. He helped me with the kids. We teach kids for half an hour a day so they can have great tricking.

POST by SEZ: Batman

Isaac was one of my friends. We played a game called Lego Batman. Lego Batman is a game that you fight crime with Batman and Robin. Batman and Robin are heroes in a town and they’re made out of Lego.

The road Sezni travels along, when going to Isaac's house - through Barrio Loco

They have suits, baterangs, masks, and a batmovil. We were going to play it and we were fighting the criminal named The Riddler. The Riddler has a staff of a question mark.

Batman has four other criminals named Clay Face - the clay monster, Mr. freeze - the frozen man, Poison Ivy - the poison girl and Two Face - half dead and half alive.

Isaac and I solved all the crimes from The Riddler. The next one that we have to beat was the Penguin – he is a person who has robot penguins.

He also has four more criminals to beat too, named Bane - the big wrestler, Killer Croc - the killer crocodile Man, Bat the man - who is a bat and Catwoman - a women who is a cat. Isaac and I even beat them too.

The last one we had to stop was a guy named The Joker - an evil criminal clown who also has four criminal friends too. He had Mad Hatter - a trick man with his hat Killer Moth - a killer bug who is a moth, Scarecrow - a scary person who scares crows away and he had a Miss Joker - who is the same like The Joker.

Isaac and I defeated all the evil criminals - The Riddler, The Penguin and The Joker.

POST by SEZ: Good Mooning

Sezni learning HOW to trick on the tramp

Aben was teaching me tricking. I was practicing a new trick called a half moon flip. A half moon flip is that your legs go two steps and your legs are turning to the side it’s like your doing a backhand spray, but very different. I practice a lot , but it was so hard. I’m practicing it for a month.

I’m a kid who’s only ten years old. And I practice tricking a lot. I’ve been practicing for one year.

I practice outside my house where the sawdust is. The sawdust is like a convfy pillow. I started to practice the moon flip on Monday and I practice tricking because my mom and dad want’s me to be a tricker kid.

I trick with other trick kids and  five trick teachers. Aben, Stivey, Beycker, Rene and Yordy are my teachers. We all trick together like a big team, but I have a bad arm and leg, because it feels like I’ve been practicing forever.

POST by SEZ: Going Loco in the Barrio

On Tuesday, my family and I were going to play pool. Pool is a game with sticks, tables, and balls and you push them in holes. The person who put´s the most balls in win.

We go every Tuesday.  We get money to buy coca cola for kids. We leave to play pool at seven then we come back every time at ten o clock. Nestor guards our house while we are gone.

The floor where we play pool is bumpy and they have jackpots and five pool tables. When were there I feel like a loser because I lose all the time.

They have a movie that is bad for people.

I play pool too.
