Well, I'll give you some credit: you got a set of stones for a 13-year-old. I don't know if I would have had the guts to jump in and try something like what you're doing so quickly. So I'm going to go a lot easier on you than I normally would have on someone say my age (30). Consider yourself lucky: I've been told I'm a complete prick.
As far as the looks of it go, I like the basic skin. Like most blogs, it's relatively simple, the logo looks cool (although I'm not sold on the font you used), the menu's a little small, and the blog portion itself is clean.
But I'm going to ask you a straight-up question that I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to: are you making money with this blog? Seriously? If you are, and you're 13, I'd be very surprised.
First of all, 13-year-olds can't even enter into an affiliate or publisher agreement since it constitutes a legally binding contract. You gotta be 18 or get a parent's permission to do this sort of thing, and most parents would never agree to something like that simply becaust most of them aren't progressive thinkers and couldn't stand the thought of their offspring potentially making more money than they are.
Second, some of your content is your own, but some of it's clearly not. And that's a game too many people have tried to play and failed miserably.
I'm also not sure about your colour idea for Adsense, just because it may pose a violation of the Adsense ToS (you're not allowed to put images beside ads and solid colors may pose a violation of that as well.)
Not only that, some of your ads are for some of the biggest scammers going (Text-Link-Ads among them). The whole "buy links for SEO reasons" is about to get flushed straight down the toilet by Google (and likely MSN/Yahoo! to follow) and then the TLA concept won't be worth anywhere near as much, if at all.
In other words, I like the idea that you're 13 and trying (I won't call it a fact, because 13 could be 45)...but you've got a way to go yet, kid.

are you saying it's duplicate?
