Day 2

Today we are going to try a free blog. You can talk about whatever you want as long as it is appropriate and that it actually says something. Or, you can respond appropriately to someone else's blog continuing their conversation. The points for this will be based on a meaningful piece of information or a meaningful exchange.

Have a great break. Enjoy your Thanksgiving in whatever manner you celebrate. Be smart, be safe and see you on Tuesday.

On the day of my free blog, i have no idea what i would like to talk about. So i guess i will just start with the news... again. I just saw on the news that Oakland County is shooting 300 does in rochester. I guess they have been reported with the most car accidents involving deer last year. I thought it was funny that they are doing all of the shooting at night. Why couldnt they do it in the day to give the deer more of a chance. Or just open rochester up for hunting in all areas to try to quickly and efficiently kill off some of the deer, in a human and fair way. i just think it goes against the morals of hunters and that, if they want to get rid of some deer, let people who actually enjoy hunting and want the meat to do it in a fair way for the dear. Not just off duty ofgficers at 3 am with night vision. definately a rant.

I'm a random person so I am going to talk about music. Music is everywhere you go. All people have a different preference in music including me. Everything about music is so random which I think is a good thing. Many songs have a message to the or allow people to express themselves. This why music plays such an important role in life. It can cheer people up, bring back memories, orset the mood that you want to be in. The people at Lakeland really show the different forms of music. Ipods have become such a big thing everywhere. There is always one song on your Ipod that someone will make fun of or love. It just matters that you like the music and it's good listening to you. The music that you listen to really doesn't have to show the person that you are. I am a great example of it. I listen to rap music all the time and I get made fun of a lot. It doesn't really bother me because usually it's my friends who make fun of me. People are always suprised about the music that I listen to. My Ipod has all different kinds of music and I like it that way. People can tell me otherwise or suggest songs to me, but I'll stuck to what I like most of the time. But yeah this was a really random topic. ha

Mr. Kay,
I guess ill contuniue with the current events. I saw on cnn.com an article about home prices. It descibes how the value of peoples homes are dropping and the price of them are plunging. The home plunge stayed on a record low pace this summer. The S&P Case-Shiller Home Price national index recorded a 16.6% decline in the third quarter compared with the same period a year ago. The previous record was 15.1% in the second quarter. With foreclosures and economic conditions being rough, the prices initially dropped. The 10-city index is now 23.4% off its peak price, which came in June 2006. I wonder how much my house is worth now?

I'm going to choose Thanksgiving. Honestly i haven't learned much about the pilgrims and Indians because i don't feel like thats what I'm celebrating. On thanksgiving i take in the full value of my life. I appreciate my life like i should everyday. I think about the many people that effect me and make me who i am. I'm thankfully to be at my crazy uncles house surrounded by people who love me. I'm mostly thankful for all of my relationships with people. i tend to focus on the people around me most. I think it's important to understand your meaning of thanksgiving. The importance of this holiday is easily lost in the tons of food. I'm working to be as thankful as i am on thanksgiving, everyday. I hope everyone has a good break!!

I shall talk about names. Every since humanity crawled out of (or was created by) whatever there is to explain life, every culture has a name. In fact, there really isn't ANYTHING classifiable that doesn't even have a name. What are you sitting on? A chair(I hope). What are you using? A computer. What's called a sucky age? The George Bush term! We are constantly obsessing about names to find what there is to explain. For our thirsty minds of knowledge for the entire universe. What's the thing that makes you go blind when staring into it? Connor Risi!(no it's the sun, TALKING to him causes blindness.) What's the white disk in the sky? The moon. In the end when outcomes cannot be explained we either shrug and look stupid or blame (the) god(s).

I am going to continue with William's blog about music. I feel that music is a way for people to express there feelings. It's like a world that you can escape to when needed. It's the one thing that will always be here and never change. Just like William I too have a different selection of music. I actually love country, and I don't care that majority of people hate it, and think it's stupid. That's there opion and this is mine. To me, country is sending you a message and it's your job to interpret it and use it in your daily life. A lot of my friends come to me for advice on different situations and I get most of my advice from songs I have heard previously. Music is a way to remind you of someone who you care for, make old memories seem real again, lift your day when it's bad and even make you cry. I too think that music is an important role, especially in a young adults life. Their are so many things that goes on in our lives, that sometimes we think no one will understand. That's where music comes in. It's something that will never go away, and never disappoint you.

In my free blog I will like to talk about how much fun I will have during our time off. Some of the stuff that i'm going or might do is go snowboarding, and probablley go to the mall. Maybe see a movie with some friends. Also, since there is no school and I don't have hockey because of Thanksgiving i'm going to start practicing playing the guitar. On Thanksgiving I am really looking forward for my family to come over because they their are funny people especially my grandpa. I am ready to have a break from school so I can have some fun but I wish they didn't cancel hockey because then I can practice. Also, I can sleep in and I don't have to worry about missing school for next few days. Also, I want recover from being sick.

on the first free blog i will talk about a 19 year old kid who had everything going for him, a kid named Kevin "kutta" haris. Kevin is a very talinted kid. he calls him self "kutta", it is his rap name. one night some guys from detroit said they had a record deal for him and they would meet him so he could sign it. one night when they met up on the north side of pontiac, a man dressed in all black pulled a gun and said "you stole you our lyrics". right after he said that he shot him in the head twice while his girlfriend and two month old baby was standing right there. when Kevin was in the hospital people the was part of N.W.O.(his rap group) started to roit. seince Kevin has died there has been three diffrent shooting between both potiac and detroit.

Hunter White said...

Im going to go off of Zack's reply. After just reading about that myself im a little mad. I dont care if deer are a problem in that area but I dont like how the county is going to solve it. If they need to take out some of the deer population they could have opened up 300 doe permits in the area. If a hunter kills it he would at least use the meat on it. I dont understand why they have the right to give someone a 3000.00 ticket for poaching but hire Sharpshooters to basicly "poach" anyway. To me this is a big waste...and is disrespective to Hunters.

Shaun Gerber said...

I am going to talk about thanksgiving and this break. I think that its about time that this break came, this is our first real break since summer. But on the other hand, time is flying and we are alright 1/3 into the school year. It will be nice to see my family again and sit down and eat a good meal. Thankgiving is time that most sent with their family. My family is coming over the day of and i hope for the best them when it comes to roads. As for myself i will sleeping in for the next few days and don't plan on waking up before 9 at the latest.

I don't know what to talk about really so I am going to continue the talk about music. Music is amazing, you hear it almost all the time. I love all music, there are just ones that I like more than others. Unlike Alanna, I don't love country, but I don't hate it. There are a few songs that I listen to occasionally. The same goes for rap, I don't hate it but I like a few songs. Music to me is everything: emotion, feelings everything! Like Alanna said, music is a way for people to express their feelings, but it is also a way for people to tell stories of themselves, their life, or even who they are. Ask almost any music writer and you'll probably get the same answer: that they come up with their music from experiences they've been through. I myslef have thought up songs from my own experiences...unfortunately I haven't written them down =/. I have to disagree with Alanna's statement about how for country music you have to interpret it. Yes how you interpret country songs is important, but it's not only in country songs. Any song you listen to it's important on how you interpret it because every song has some kind of story or reason behind it. Music has been around for I don't know how long. And it will continue to be around for as long as people are interested in it and have a desire to write, conduct, and play it.

I am going to talk about thanksgiving. I think thanksgiving is a day to say thanks to everything and everyone. Its about appicenting the things you do have and being surrounded by people that love you. Its a day to be surrounded by your family that you havent seen in a while to come together again. I am very thankful of things that i have, many people dont have anything. Its nice to just take a day off and just relax with your family to talk about things. Thanksgiving to me is way more then eating turkey its about being thankful and saying thank you to those people that you have helped.

i am going to add to Chloe's blog. Thanksgiving is my ultimate favorite holiday. when i tell most people this they say "well thats because it's your birthday". however it really is not why i like it so much. it is the only holiday that my whole family including cousins and all their children are together. at christmas they all can't make it because they visit the other side of their families. we all have a ton of fun while we are together. all the aunts are cooking, the men watching footaball, the older kids playing with the todleres and playing p
oker. its the only day when i see everyone in my family. plus i love the pumpkin pie.

Luke LaFountain said...

Mr. Kay,
I will also be taking this time to talk about what I will be doing this break. During the break, I am might try and make a song on my computer. Being the dork I am, I think i might be able to do it. Also me and a friend are supposed to get together and begin making a movie. A real movie. A good one. Also, depending on if it snows or not, I could be snow skating. If you can't put it together it is like this, snowboard + Skateboard = Snowskate. I might also being going to the new modern skate park in Royal Oak to skateboard and shred it up. And even more, I could be going to a concert on Friday with my brother in Detroit. And of coarse, for Thanksgiving, I will be going to my Aunts house where I will feast. So yeah, my break will be exciting, fun, and busy. I want these plans to got through because my break would be very boring if I didn't do some of this stuff. I WANT IT TO BE EXCITING.

Mr. Kay,

For my free blog, I am going to talk about my favorite things to do. First off, I love to draw. Ever since I can remember, I have been drawing. When I was at Lakewood Elementry school, I entered a contest, and won. The contest was to draw a picture that showed our school's maskot, and have our school's pledge. When I won the contest, I got to paint my picture on the outside school wall. Once I got into 8th grade, someone told me that my picture got painted over. That day, something inside of me just lost all the passion I once had for drawing. I was really upset, I never got over it. The staff at Lakewood told me that it would never be removed off that wall. I felt like what I worked on wasn't werth anything at all. But I think I'm pretty much over it. I still love drawing, I just don't have that same passion I once did. I hope that was okay for my blog.

I think that since it's thanksgiving break that i'll talk about thanksgiving and my family. I love how this is one holiday that brings my family together. I don't see them often at all so I think this an important holiday. We normally only see each other once in the summer and once at Thanksgiving. Since we don't see each other often we celebrate Christmas too. It's always a blast. I think its funny that my cousins and i are a lot alike, but really different. I think a lot of it has to do with where we each live. One set lives in Chicago, the other is Troy, and and the other in the middle of nowhere in Indiana. So our personalities are all different but we all mesh well.

I dnt go a day without my ipod, im doing this blog while listening to music, i ALWAYS listen to music. I think certain songs remind people of certain things that have had happened in there life, so each song i hear im like omg i miss this song it reminds me of the 8th grade or i remember dancing to this song at homecoming. But if i had to pick music over talking for the rest of my life i wuld choose music cuz i love music so much. any type, next topc, this is kind of sad and this is why i was sad over the week, my cat muffy is sick and we are putting her down tomorrow, and she was like my baby, i was like her mom. I cried in her fur when i was sad, she slept with me..i really cared for her, and i dont want her to hurt anymore. no one should treat their pets bad their just like people, i dont think of muffy like a cat. Im going to be really upset when shes gone, ill always hear her meow when i walk in my room LOVE YOU MUFFY.. best kitty ever xoxoxo
im thankful for having friends that i have, and having that awesome cat...

Well, I am going to start a debate - on politics. First off, just let me say straight up that I am a conservative. Secondly, let me comment on Derek's statement that a dark age is when Bush was in office. The declining economy was not caused by George Bush. Instead it started going down the drain in the election od 2006 for Congress when everybody elected liberals into office. Because, all bills start in Congress and move up, proving that it was not Bush's fault. I blame it on Nancy Pelocy and all other democrats in the House and Senate. Third, let me say that the liberal media screwed all of us (cough) wise people in the election coverage this year. They only talked about the few good things Obama has done in his short some 160 day term in the Senate. The ripped on Sarah Palin especially, but she was more qualified to be president than Obama is! She has more experience and has answers to the economic crisis that make sense. Now, let's talk about some of Obama's policies. First, he wants to tax the gas prices more to try to get prices under control. BUT BUSINESSES DON'T PAY TAXES!!!!!! Instead, they just pass the cost on to the consumer. So, mark my words, our gas prices are going to shoot up shortly after Obama gets into office. Secondly, Barack wants to 'redistribute the wealth.' NO! I feel that if the wealthy, or anybody for that matter, WORK FOR THEIR MONEY, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES TO KEEP IT. The government shouldn't take the hard-earned money of the welathy class, and give it to LAZY BUMS WHO AREN'T WILLING TO WORK A DAY IN THEIR LIFE AND JUST WANT TO TAKE GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS. ANother thing Obama has talked about so much is change. But, he is keeping the same people in his cabinet that were there under the Clinton administration (which by the way, Bill Clinton passed the bill that prevented offshore drilling). He also elected Hillary Clinton to Secretary of State! I hate to say this, but we are in trouble now! To me, Barack doen't really plan on changing anything, but instead wants to get as many democrats in office as possible to support his corrupt views. I apologize to many of you in advance for saying the following. I don't mean to offend anyone, but the people who voted for Obama are just plain stupid and uneducated. Just take a look at this survey of Obama voters: http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

Okay, enough ripping on Obama. On to McCain's policies. But since it doesn't even matter becasue he wasn't elected, I won't write as much. Let me also say that I don't think McCain was a good candidate for office, but we needed ANYTHING BUT A DEMOCRAT. I strongly support his idea to drill offshore. I think this is the only way to solve our problem becasue in the future I think we will develop new energy sources. I personally thing Palin would be a good candidate. She seems really down to earth, and understands the ideas associated with business. (Most democrats are lawyers and have never worked a minute of business in their life! And thats a fact) She understands the constitution that our forefathers set up and doesn't belive in socialism (Obama does). These are just some of my many thoughts about our election this year. If you want more talk to me in person becasue I'm getting tired of writing. Just remember, as Mark Lavin saidon talk radio, "Some people are wise, and some are otherwise."

Sean said...

This is probably the best thing that can happen to these blogs. I guess ill just talk about doing blogs, and their centimental values. These blogs are a pain in the ass to me, I dispise them. Although with much hate, can come some good. When I blog, its always a thinking process for me. Blogs are like free writes to me, I can try new ways to respond to them that can be a way different approach than others take. I always like to blog late, because then I can see what others have written. Sometimes, if I have no clue what your asking, I just take a peep at what others said, although I mainly look at what not to blog. I try not to follow what others say, I try to look at whatever the question is in a different view. If everyone wrote down the same thing/same ideas, this blog would be more boring then it already is. I like reading what people have to say, sometimes I agree, other times I dont. I believe that the blogs are an oppertuinity for the more quiet ones in your classes to really voice their opinions. fun stuff.

Mr.Kay,
I think you should do these types of blogs more often!!! Today I will talk about cooking. Well if you think about it food is incredibly weird. My reason for this is how did it happen that you mix all this stuff together and then all the sudden you have brownies or something like that. I mean, one day was some guy or girl like hey if you mix wheat and water together you get this loaf of somethin. But, also it's kind of cool too becuase there are all these diffrent things in the world and people just mix them all together and there we have it; food. Or did food start as an experiment. Maybe one day someone was trying to find a cure for like smallpox or something and ended up with kool-aid. I don't know, honestly I think that food started when people killed animals and ate there meat. But I'm talking about the other food. Also salad, did one day someone grap a whole bunch of leaves and throw them in a bowl and was like hey i'm out of meat so I guess I'll just eat this. Or better yet, milk. How in the world did that happen. Imagine a random cow in the medow just chillin and all the sudden some guy's like whoa what are those i wonder what happens when you squezze them and then milk came out. SO then the guy goes to his friend and is like i dare you to eat this, so he does and it turns out, it's good. So thats my theroy on milk. Just think about it Mr.Kay, what would we do without food. Besides die, i mean I guess we would just be eating meat and drinking pond water.

I think that Im taking my final test really sone. Im going to my grandmas and grandpas to celebrate my birthday. Nothing really that big. My grandma is making me my favorite dinner. We are going to eat alot and have alot of desert. For my birthday I am asking for a cell phone and snow pants and a few clothes. I hope that I get what I want and not something not that cool. but If I do get something like that I won't be mad. I really wont care that much because I know that they paid for those thing and they care about me. So far the day has been going good and the way I want it. So I think that I will have a good birhtday.

hey tamm look at this. First of all we are going to pay high taxes no matter who the president is. Second of all, atleast Barrack has a useful plan with his time in office rather than napping and watching andy griffith reruns. Sorry old man joke. Throughout this entire campaign I have never seen a commercial about what McCain would do to help our country, I have only seen him talking bad about Obama. Meanwhile Obama is only focusing on what his plan is for the people of the country he's leading. Also yeah, the place where the economy is was not caused by Bush but the fact that he saw it happening right before him and did ABSOLUTELY nothing about makes it his fault. When your the president you tend to attempt to help your country, did he do that? I don't think so. Oh Yeah, and it's the consumer's fault they bought things they couldn't pat for so the consumers are the ones who have to get out of the recession they put us in. Sarah Palin is in no way qualified to be president, ask her if she knows where South Africa's located, she'll respond like the bear she just shot that's hanging on her mini-van, "UUH UM UH" that's right no response because she only knows where Russia is because she can see it from her house. OBAMA'S PRESIDENT NOW, so really what are you going to do about it?

Everyone enjoys Thanksgiving in some way. I love the family getting together and enjoying themselves. I also love playing games with my cousins. Sometimes play Call of Duty 4 and James Bond. Other times we talk about what interests us. While we do that our uncles watch the football game. I love the great dinner. We have turkey, ham, potatoes, gravy, corn, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and lots of other good tasting things. No one leaves hungry.

For the free writing I would also like to write about thanksgiving. This a time where I think about all the things I am thankful for. Most importantly, I am thankful for my family and friends and all they have given me. I am thankful that through these times I have a house to live in and all the things I need and more. I am also thankful for my health and that I am able to do the things I can do. My favorite part about thanksgiving is being with my family and the thanksgiving dinner. All our family is very busy, so we only see each other every once in a while. It is nice to sit down and be able to visit with them. My favorite part about the dinner is the mashed potatoes because my grandma sure knows how to cook the potatoes. Our family is polish so we eat polish food and it is something I look forward to every year.

Eric Tamm said...

Alright, carolyn, Obama said he wants to cut taxes for the middle and lower classes. What about the upper class? The top 5% wealthy people in our nation pay about 60% percent of the taxes. Thats a fact, and it goes back to redistribution of wealth. They should get a break too! Obama even said the taxes would be raised for them. Secondly, I never said McCain was a good candidate, I just don't want a liberal running our country. As for bush not doing anything, he did a lot of things. He tried out the economic stimulous checks, and started drilling offshore. I give him credit because I think he tried. Also, you are right that the consumers don't have to buy things, but that won't help anything. Obama taxing companies will make things worse because then even less people will buy things and money will no longer flow through the economy like it should. Nobody will make money, and manufacturing will come to a halt. Lastly, Palin never said she could see Russia from her house, that was Tina Fey on SNL. Palin did say she can see it in the distance, and that it shows how the whole world is connected. As for the bear thing. So what if she hunts - it's not like it's breaking the law. OH AND ALSO - PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE IN EVERYTHING THAN OBAMA! She's more qualified, and that's backed up by facts. I want you to watch the video on this page: http://www.howobamagotelected.com/ It's all these idiots in the news media who don't know a thing about what they are talking about that exagerate the truth because they want to elect Obama to keep their jobs. What do you have to say to all that?

Alexa said...

so for today I think that I will talk about Thanksgiving. To day in my 3rd hour alot of people were talking about the holiday. So does everybody know why Thanksgiving is always on a thutsday??? Well we looked it up. It is always on a thursday because Abe Linclon said so. So that is why it is always on the last thursday on Novemeber. So if Obama wanted to make it on the 24th of August he can do that. Dancing with the stars is the season finale tonight. I really hope Lance and Lacey win. Oh ya did you know that Canada has their Thanksgiving in September. If you didn't well now you know. I hope everybody has a good break. See you on Tuesday.

I kind of like the idea of free blogs. Half the time, I don't even know what the blog is asking or how to explain it so this is good for me. Except I don't know what to talk about. I looked over all the other blogs today to see what everyone was writing about and I have a few comments. Music is important in my life because if I'm having a bad day then I turn my ipod on and find a song to make me feel better. Music just puts me in a better mood. I agree with Sean D. about blogs. I don't really like them either but I guess it's good for us overall and is really helping keep people's grades up. One thing I really didn't like reading was the whole argument about politics. To me, the whole campaign process seems twisted and bad. So many bad things are said and people believe everything and are so extreme. Personally, I was more for McCain but not by much. They're both bad so its kind of like the best of the worst. I do agree with Tamm that Palin would be a good candidate though. But that's just my opinion. Well anyway, I'm just excited that we don't have school for almost a week. No blogging!

I am going to talk about the war in iraq. i personally think it is a pointless war now, that NEEDS to end. with how bad our economy is going, we need that money to be spent going to our country, not a middle east country. i understand the reason that we went in, and i believe we did what we needed to do. even though it takes years for a war to be completely over, i hope obama will end it when he takes office. he says he will, but what president really lives up to everything they say they are going to do. instead of setting up their countries governments, we should be protecting our borders and figuring out a way to get more jobs back into the economy. soldiers lives are being lost for no reason. it needs to end.

I am going to add on to Lauren's blog. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays (after christmas) Like Chloe said , i dont really think about the pilgrims and all of that stuff we learned in elementry school about thanksgiving. I just love being able to have a big dinner with my whole family. I love my family and since both my brothers have moved out and on with their lives i don't see them very much. So its nice to spend the whole day with them. On this day , it shows me how thankful i should be for the family I have. And how I should cherish every moment I can with them. My grandma just got diagnosed with cancer, so i love being able to spend the time I can with her. All in all i just love being able to spend time with my family and have fun with them.

For today I would like to talk about the history of Thanksgiving through my eyes. It all started many many years ago when some European jerks came over to America and tried to build there society here. Us generous Native Americans helped them settle and treated them with great respect. They made a great deal of food for them and this is how the tradition began. The dirty europeans re-payed us Native American with small-pox and diseases. And they took over much of the Native Americans land. For me the meaning of Thanksgiving is getting together with my family which is the thing i am most thankful for. Thanksgiving also means fighting with my father for the last turkey leg and sitting on the couch after i have eaten to much watching football.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I will continue off of Kori (steffeny apallo) Smiley faces are fun. Never mind I got bored of that one....soo...over break I am going 2........uhhh.h..go to the mall...and.....uhhhhhhhh.....build a snow man...........annnnddd.....ok this isn't working either.

Once upon a time there was a flamingo named Kymmie and she liked to swim. One day she met a goose named Alexa and they swam all day. Then they met a duck named Brittney and a pidgin named Katlyn. They all swam together in happiness and joy and joyful happy. Then a dinosaur came and ate all of them. They died. Then Jesus came down and was like "I don't love you." and went to pizza hut. So depressed by Jesus's words the dinosaur went emo and lived an emo life where he didn't do anything but be emo. The End.
The lesson learned from this story is don't cause car accidents.

I'm going to continue with Alanna's blog. I agrre with her and willam. Music always clams me down. And At the same time, it helps me concentrate. It helps people express there true feelings. When ever i am doing something, i am listening to music. It helps me get things done. Music is always a way out of things. Music is a way to remind you of someone who you care for.

I will continue with seans subject. Althought these blogs are a thorn in my side, I think that there is some good to them. Doing these blogs day after day, every week for the whole year can teach us the importance of being responsible. It can teach us how to do things on our own and not depend on others to help us. We can't make it through life on other peoples success or effort. Another thing this blog teaches us is thorougness. Being thorough with this blog can help our grade majorly. If we decide not to do the blog, we will lose points and it will start to effect our grade negativly. Doing these blogs is something I need to work on in the future so that I can get the grade I deserve in your class.

Im going to talk about music. Its seems like its everywhere i go.I feel that music is a way for people to express them selfs. It's the one thing that will always be here and never change. Music is something that everyone can count on and always trun to. I think music takes a very big rool in many peoples lifes. I love music!!! I usually listen to all kinds of music, but country just puts me to sleep :/ and its just kinda BLAH! music will always be there.

Well, I did just do about a 15-ish sentence blog. The website just basically failed and deleted it so it is basically ticking me off. Well, I guess one thing I learned about this is that I should type my blog in another program and copy and paste it so this doesn't happen again. Sometimes I love technology and other times I hate it, like right now. I did write about poms, but I really don't feel like re-typing everything I just did, so I'm not going to. I go back to practice on tuesday, and I'm really excited even though I've enjoyed my couple weeks off from it. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving because I get to go to Frankenmuth! I love their food, it's amazing. I'm just happy to have a week off from school to sleep in and relax. Well, I think I'll go watch Dancing with the Stars... haha random I know.

Mr. Kay,

Im going to write about what I plan on doing this break. On wednsday I plan on hanging out with my best friends Zack. :). I plan on going to see the movie Role Models which looks absolutley hilarious. I would like to comment on Zack Szajners blog. I totally agree with him and have heard of this event going on. I think that it is unethical, and inhumane. Its just not the right thing to do for what God has put on this earth for us and that is terrible. Many people are against hunting for certain reasons, and this is one of the reasons that I wouldnt like hunting, although I love hunting.

Im gonna talk about tyler hansboro. He is the center for the UNC Tarheels. The reason im talking about him is because im watchin him play right now and i absolutely hate him. He won an award for being the best player in the NCAA last year. He could have just went to the NBA after last year, but he is getting greedy and wants to win the award again. He is so over rated it makes me want to stop watching ESPN because he's the only college player the analysists talk about. At the beginning of the year he got hurt...to bad it didn't last because he's healthy now. Anyways i just wanted everyone to know that i think he's a total D-BAG. I actually hope he gets undercut and lands on his head so he can't play in the NBA next year.

Also Nikki Wilson is freeeaaking hotttttttt.

for my free blog i would like to talk about thanksgiving becuase its coming up in a couple of days. thanksgiving was invented way back in the times of the pilgrims and indians. the indians tuaght the pilgrims how to grow corn and capture animals to eat, such as turkeys. the holiday first came about when the pilgrims started getting really good at the whole growing things. so after they hit it big with that they decided to make a mass amount of food to eat. my nonna will use this same tactic when i come over for the weekend. she will make a ton of food and in the spirit of thanksgiving and i will attempt to eat it all.

For my free choice blog today I will talk about deer hunting. I think deer hunting is the best recreational sport around right now. I deer hunt around my house and I go up north to hunt also. My mom and my dad own property up north and we go up to hunt every year. I hunt both with my bow and rifle. I shot a five point buck this year with my bow and a doe 1 year ago with my rifle. I am going up north for thanksgivng to hunt some more and then I will go out more at my house. I like to small game also not just deer. I just got into the small hunting because I am now old enough to go out by myself. To help me practice my hunting I like to go to the shooting range and shot my rifle and then go shoot clay pigeons with my shotgun.

Since Thanksgiving is soon, I thought my free blog should also be about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has to be one of my favorite holidays. Not just about the lots of food, but also to see your family, and enjoy the time that you usually dont get to spend with them. Since I realy dont know the whole background of Thanksgiving, like with the pilgrims and stuff, I just count Thanksgiving as a time to be thankful for your family. I only get to see my grandparents once a year, because they live in florida. So Thanksgiving is the only time I get to see them, so I charish those few times. I would have to say that I am very close with my family, and I am very thankful to spend time with them on Thanksgiving.

I want to discuss today the value of friendship. One of my best friends Cubby attends Milford Highschool and i rarely ever see her. It is very hard because i grew up with her and we have been good friends for a while. Although I try to keep in contact with Cubby, sometimes we each get so caught up in our own lifes. But she continues to be a best friend. We always try to hang out and keep in touch. So far we have been doing a vey good job. That is why I never take for granted the value of friendship. Because you never know when you guys are gonna go your seperate ways.

Not sure what I feel like talking about. So I think I'll pick up on will's on music. Music is fun and enjoyable because we have so many variates. It helps people express the way they feel some times or if they want to get a message out they can use music. It would work better becuase its hard not to understand music but being able to pull the point out of the song is the hard part. It is also a fun thing to join in on. Because there are so many difrent instruments that you can play. You can even sing if you cant play a guitar, a trumpet, or drums. It can also be a very social thing becuase people can just sit around and talk about music and their favorite song or riff or what ever.

Wow. I have no idea what to talk about, but since it's almost thanksgiving I shall talk about that. This year we are not having very many people over. Its just going to be my mom, me, Shane, Zachary, my mom's boyfriend Jim and Brenda, my mom's mom. I think this year will be interesting because Brenda is a very picky person so she will through a hissy fit about every little thing my mom or Jim do wrong. Or what she feels is wrong. She will tell me that she does not approve of my piercings and that I will take them out or she will not talk to me. Honestly that doesn't bug me. I hate being told what to do. I also hate being told my flaws but who likes it. But no matter how much she will piss me off I still love her with all my heart. ♥

Holy crap Eric! I was just making a joke! Instead I started a political rant! Besides, I was talking about the time period, not what George Bush was doing. Yea the Media screwed up big time with all that and the mudslinging campaign pretty much got him elected. However if the economy improves or not is up to chance really. I thought Connor was going to freak out the most or something but...

Well this is from The mystical world of warcraft but here more political crap to see. just proving to everyone that EVERYONE and ANYTHING can get affected my politics. Please note this is not my Sever

OH, one more thing; your blog size? EPIC! I think it's awesome how much effort you punt into your opinions. You have all the good points of everyone and all the bad. Well I dislike politics. What a Democrat and what's a republican changes once every 10-25 years so eventually words we speak would be forgotten soon. I like to talk about things that affect us all and eternally.

Today I will talk about building my own computer. Last summer my computer died on me. I decided to save up my money from my birthday and other jobs I have been doing to go and order computer parts. It took me a while but I finally had enough money to do it. Went online chose all of the parts that I needed and wanted to build the new computer. All my parts arrived at once so i was eager to get started. I ended up taking all of my parts to my uncles house because he had all the tools that I needed to build my new computer. The next morning I woke up and got right to work. Just getting all of the physical parts into the computer case and wiring everything up took about 6 hours. Thn came the moment for truth, to turn it on. At first it did not turn on and it took a little bit of messing around to get it to come on. After that it took me another 4 hours to get all the operating system, software and drivers installed. Feeling proud of myself i took my computer home. My entire build cost me $1,100 including my new hd monitor.

Sorry i went upnorth to my grandparents house right after school tuesday and i had no internet.

I went upnorth for 3 days to my grandparents to visit my family. It was kinda boring but it was good to see my family. I think the best part was seeing my baby cousin cole. I have only seen him twice since he was born. I also read probably more than i have in 3 yeard those 3 days. I read Glass, and Just listen. I realized that if i find a book that talks about what i read i can read the whole book. Even though a lot of books dont interest me.

I know this late, but i dont really care right now, cause i feel i have a great thing to blog about.

" Do You Know Tyler Durden? Cause I Do."
tonight, i had watched fight club the movie. I do plan on reading the book, but right now, that is beside the point. say i know Tyler Durden, because, inside, we all have our own metaphorical "Tyler Durden" inside all of us.

(Spoiler Alert)

In The Movie, Tyler Durden is portrayed by brad pitt, or so we think. he really institutes the Fight Club. And His Day job, is a soap salesmen, and he knows a little to much about their chemistry, that being enough that could get him into a lot of trouble. Anyways, he starts Fight Club, keeps Fight Club going, and gets people to go to Fight club. although, he broke rule number 1, that you never talk about fight club. but he really gets this show off the road. but, then he starts running secret projects that our narrator does not know about, called project mayhem. and of course, its first rule, is to never talk about project mayhem. so they dont speak a word to the narrator about it. since the narrator is an insomniac by the way, he describes having insomnia as not being completely awake, nor being completely asleep. this has probable cause to believe that something might be going on. so to speed the ending up here, our narrator find out that he is tyler durden, and that brad pit, the supposed tyler durden, is a figment of his imagination, and that he really strted fight club because of his mundane life.

there are a few plot holes in the story, bout you would have to watch it for me to explain them.

its a freaking sweet movie, and i am definitely reading the book

I'm going to choose Thanksgiving. Honestly i haven't learned much about the pilgrims and Indians because i don't feel like thats what I'm celebrating. On thanksgiving i take in the full value of my life. I appreciate my life like i should everyday. I think about the many people that effect me and make me who i am. I'm thankfully to be at my crazy uncles house surrounded by people who love me. I'm mostly thankful for all of my relationships with people. i tend to focus on the people around me most. I think it's important to understand your meaning of thanksgiving. The importance of this holiday is easily lost in the tons of food. I'm working to be as thankful as i am on thanksgiving, everyday. I hope everyone has a good break!!
