My Views On Hardball
That's the entrance music for CBBC's new resident gangster, Mikey!
Like Nowhere Boys, Mustangs FC, Itch and especially Bluey, Hardball originates from Australia because all of its characters come from Australian heritage and go to an Australian school. There's lots of background details you love to see, such as the Australian animal pictures on the walls of the school, the children hanging out in the playground, the words on the whiteboard and the outdoor board such as the school photos and the P&C meeting...WHAT THE HELL IS A P&C MEETING?!
Oooh.
Anyway, Hardball is a mix of Jamie Johnson, Mustangs FC and Snaps, as it follows Mikey as he moves from New Zealand to West Sydney. His aunt, who runs the garage, feeds him gravy on pizza and mucky hummus and acts like he's the centre of abuse, and his friends and rivals always support him - okay, all except the Asian girl who wears glasses. The head teacher is struggling to run the school, and is constantly in love with a football group, and there's this pea-brained IT teacher who sits at his computer all day like I do sometimes. I'd love to work at the Sweet Yummy bakery, because there are lots of good cookies for sale. Oh my god! To me, Hardball is all about gang war and violence. If I were to direct Hardball, it'd be about violence and gangster privilege, with Mikey wearing shades and a black overcoat with guns in his belt, and his aunt would constantly abuse and swear at him. Hardball would be aimed for adults as a result.
Hardball is about being dragged into gangster ownership, so watching Jamie Johnson and Mustangs FC is much better.

Express Yourself - What Do You Like Most About School?
I like all the storywriting bits at school. If I were still watching CBBC in my secondary school years, I'll make educational stories starring Luke, Resus and Cleo.

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I head to the market in the village and get ice cream, pizza and juice to go with our chocolate eggs...but the moment we get back, they're gone! I suspect they're being used for a certain s'mores trifle...
I'm spending a day without my phone because it's full of storage and I can't use it, but luckily, Mum said there would be a surprise either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I bet it's going to be a pink fluffy toy poodle with a red collar called Fluffy...or maybe something to do with all the praise I'm getting these days.

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I head to the village near the field to get things to go with our chocolate eggs for lunch like pizza, ice cream and juice, but when we get back to the hill, we find the eggs have gone! Who could've taken them?
Always Eat Your Peas!
When I was still in school and had to watch Monsters Inc as part of a monster-related project, my old mentor said the real slogan for Monsters Inc wasn't 'We Scare Because We Care' but it was 'Always Eat Your Peas'. My old mentor made fun of this and Finding Nemo, and this was really appropriate because monsters never eat green food...
....so Mike and Sully's favourite book is this one, one I always read in primary school when I was very young: Eat Your Peas. This is why Monsters Inc has a new slogan that encourages healthy eating in little monsters.
