as much as i hate the jonas brothers, they were on saturday night live a little while ago, and were really funny. they were really the musical guest, but they were in two skits too. here they are:
this made me respect them a little bit more!

xmas vacation
over the xmas break (like, a month ago) i went to michigan (did u now they call them selves michiganders ha ha ha).
well, anyways... when i went to michigan (like i do every year), i saw my mom's side the family, with my cousins lydia, hannah, julia, sarah, their parents (my mom's brother), rodney and ronda, and my grandparents, papa turner, and grandma nola. my grandma fixed really good breakfasts, and my papa has lots of cool things that i can play with. but, most of the time when i'm at their house, i'm playing ping-pong (they've got a killer ping-pong table).
and then, of course, there's my other side of the family (my dad's side), with my cousins rachel, kirsten and her husband jordan, jacob, zack and his new wife rachel, and shana. and then, on that family, there's also my grandma and grandpa oestreicher, along with my aunt lisa, aunt lori, uncle joe, and uncle rod. and then there's always a bunch of other people who come over, such as: luther and allison, angela and jack, robbie, michelle (and two of her kids, lindsay and sam).
they've got a ping-pong table there too. :)
i don't have a ping-pong table at home in california, but when i'm in michigan, i am "mr. ping-pong"!!
so, to sum it up: all i'm doing, mostly, at both grandparents' houses, is eating food made by my grandmas, and playing ping-pong.
hope you had a merry christmas too!

the shnazzy blog
i have recently changed my blog's name, from crazy max's blog, to the shnazzy blog. the reason i did this is because i have words that i make up, that are not real, but deserve to be. this one, i have actually heard in some other places; and i thought it was the awesomest word -- EVER. so now i use it a lot. if something's cool, i say, "that's shnazzy!"
i was talking to my friend forrest about shnazz and my blog, and he said that i should name my blog "the shnazzy blog." so i did!
i have also recently decided that if you do not have any shnazz in your life, if your life is shnazzless, you have failed at life.
so, by max law, i now command you to try to put shnazz into your life. and even if you fail, your trying is enough to have the shnazz god thrust shnazziness upon you.
shnazz on!

6 random things about ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got tagged by my friend tash in new zealand, and i have to write 6 random things about myself. so here goes!
1. if i had been born a girl, i would have had the name "mara".
2. i recently decided that "the four main food groups of max" are:
- lasagna
- chocolate lava cake
- orange juice
- syrup
3. i like to cook. i know you would not expect that from such a manly and buff guy like me. i cook the usual: eggs, bacon, pancakes. i also cook other foods that aren't for breakfast.
4. the worst movie i've ever seen is "dragon wars".
5. i recently received a sock monkey (i named him "socko").
6. i'm collecting these things called uglydolls. look it up. i have "wage", "tray", and "chukanuka". as you might guess, they are dolls, and they are ugly (well, they're not really dolls, they're more like stuffed animals. but, anyways...).
i'm tagging mindi godfrey. mindi, you should feel special that i'm only tagging you!

smiley guy and smiley brick
i found two new games that are really cool. one is called "splitter", and one is called "super stacker". i called splitter "smiley guy" because you have to get a little smiley face, that's a ball, to a home base. he may be sitting on wood. the way you get him to the home base is to cut part of the wood, or a string that's holding something else. i know it sounds a little confusing, but you can check it out here, and then you'll get it. it's really fun and addicting game. hope you like it.
super stacker i call "smiley brick". that's because it's a series of bricks that you have to stack without them falling. they all have little faces; and when they're smiling, that means it's stable. and when they're frowning, that means they may fall. you have to stack all the blocks that they give you on each level, then the stack has to last for 15 seconds (or something like that). this one's much shorter, and i've completed all the levels. but it's still really cool, and i think you'll like it. here it is.

sacramento convention
last weekend, i went to the national youth workers convention, in sacramento. here are 10 things that i liked:
1. my nametag. everybody at the event has nametags hanging on lanyards. i know the people who make the nametags, so i got to choose what i wanted on mine. instead of "max oestreicher", i got "mr. important". i thought it was pretty funny, and anyone else who saw my nametag did too.
2. the magical unicorn. in the exhibit hall, there was one exhibit called "ride the magical unicorn." it was one of those bull-riding hicky-doos, except they made it look like a unicorn. they had a wizard controlling it, along with a bunch of elves and fairies. i rode it, and i'm a wimp on those things! so that's pretty good for me. i stayed on longer than most people, but, the wizard was going easy on me.
3. fake 'staches (mustaches). on the "ride the magical unicorn" hicky-doo, they gave you free fake mustaches. and one of 'em kinda looked like a uni-brow. so i put one like a regular mustache, and one like a uni-brow. and, then, i gave one to my sister, and one to my mom (and i took off the uni-brow). here's a picture:

4. hawk nelson. well, my favorite bands are: P.O.D., family force five, the beatles, coldplay, muse, and hawk nelson. so i was very excited to hear that hawk nelson would be playing at the convention. i got to meet justin nelson (yes, that is his name, not "hawk"), so that was really cool.
5. our suite. the hyatt (a hotel) is right next to the convention center where we had the convention. and, since my dad is the president of youth specialties, the hotel gives him a free suite, because they knew that a bunch of people would be using the hyatt so they could go to the convention. our suite was huge. it didn't have a balcony, but it was still cool. there was a room with two queen sized beds for me and my sister, a living room, dining room, kitchen, tv room, master bedroom, 3 bathrooms, and my personal favorite -- the laundry room! (i'm kidding - i never used the laundry room).
6. the governator. since the capitol of california is right across the street from the hyatt, arnold schwartzenegger (or however you spell that), lives -- part time -- in a suite right below the suite we stayed in. his suite has a HUGE balcony (which he apparently never uses, since we didn't see him!). we couldn't open the windows in our suite, because of his suite being right below it. i just thought it was funny that you couldn't open the windows. me and my sister wondered if there would be guards there, but we didn't exactly want to check.
7. the green room. if you don't know, the green room is the backstage room where people who are going to be onstage in a general session wait. sometimes there's hardly anyone back there, and sometimes it's really crowded. it's really cool, because i'm always just back there (drinking a lot of soda, and eating a lot of candy that they have set out!) just sittin' down, watching all the famous people do what they do -- which is usually pretty boring, because all they usually do it type on a computer or something. but there is lots of candy!
8. the escapes. there was four illusions that i saw. one was a girl getting out of a closed and locked water tank (i actually missed that one, but heard it was really amazing). the one i saw was the girl in a straight-jacket, getting hung by her feet really high up. somehow, she got out of the straight-jacket, and got free. another one was the guy who got out of a straight-jacket also -- he wasn't as good as the girl, mainly because wasn't being hung by anything. but they tightened the straight-jacket really tight. the last one was the girl getting into a box, and the guy folding the box into a much, much smaller box that i'm sure no human could fit in. then he stabbed swords through it, took them out, and unfolded the box to it's normal size. she crawled out unharmed. it was really cool.
9. tiny bug. you might know who tic long is. he works with my dad. i call him "tiny bug" because, as you probably know, a "tic" is a tiny bug. and he always gets really annoyed (actually, he pretends to get annoyed), and usually pokes me. it's just this goofy little game we have with each other.
20,000,000. free candy everywhere. there was free candy EVERYWHERE. in the green room, in our suite, in the exhibit hall, at convention headquarters. literally everywhere. practically wherever you were, you would only have to walk about 20 feet to get to the nearest candy bucket (yes, i said bucket). i ate a lot. it was good. :)
as you can see, this was a very fun convention.

future me(s)
my dad found this website called yearbook yourself, and i thought it was really cool. i've played a lot with it, using my face, my mom's face, my dad's face, and lots of other faces.
what you do is, you take a picture of your face, and it photoshops it into a bunch of old black and white photos. sometimes it doesn't quite work; but usually you can fix it. but sometimes your face is just not meant to be in that head!
so, here's some of the ones i liked best. i think the picture of me really fat is the creepiest. which one do you think is funniest, creepiest, works best, etc?
