Can't see the log message in logcat

I can't see the message I entered in code in logcat. All I see is this when I run the project(these are literally the only messages I see):

10-11 00:29:37.660 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts I/Choreographer﹕ Skipped 92 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread. 10-11 00:29:38.640 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts D/﹕ HostConnection::get() New Host Connection established 0xb8231490, tid 762 10-11 00:29:39.320 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts W/EGL_emulation﹕ eglSurfaceAttrib not implemented 10-11 00:29:39.580 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts D/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Enabling debug mode 0 10-10 20:29:51.240 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts D/dalvikvm﹕ GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 135K, 11% free 3538K/3956K, paused 464ms, total 472ms 10-10 20:29:51.870 762-762/com.ishan.funfacts I/Choreographer﹕ Skipped 95 frames!

I had an issue with logcat not updating properly. Try restarting the logcat. Along the left side at the bottom, you will see a green arrow going around in a circle. Click this and wait a few seconds. I think it took me about 30-40 seconds for it to restart. This cleared up my issue. Good luck.

The trash button is at the top now, I however just hit the green arrow.
