Today we shall free blog. The point of the free blog is to write on any topic you wish but have it be meaningful and an insight into you. If I sense that you are not being meaningful and just rushing, I reserve the right to not give you credit.

Mr. Kay,
In your blog detention today, I heard you talking about how in Europe, once you've finished highschool you get to take a year off and just descover yourself and figure out what you want to do, while in America, once you get out of highschool, you automatically go right into college. I was thinking about that, and I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old, how I wanted to grow up to be an artist. I kept that dream job until about 2 years ago. I still love drawing with all my heart, and people tell me I'm good at it, but its just not what I want to do anymore. My favorite subject is History, and for about a year I wanted to be a History teacher, but know I don't. I am worried that I won't know what I want to do when I get older, and that I will have a very hard time choosing what I will want to do, which will slow down the process of me going to college. I want to do something that I will love doing, but I can't think of anything. I'm worried sick, but I'm going to just focus on school for now until I get the grades I want to get into the college of my choice.
Well for my free blog today i will talk about responsibilities. Very big word for a kid like me but i actually feel really good about myself right now for making a very wise and responsable decision. When i got home from school i was very rushed to get to golf practice. Now let me remind you that my life revolves around sports. So anyway, i was looking forward to golf practice that way i could get out and play. On the other hand i had a ton of homework that needed to be caught up on and turned in by friday in all my classes. I was always told that i may love sports so much i want to go to practice but no matter what is going on school is the first thing i must worry about. So by being wise i decided to call my coach and explain my ketching up that needed to be done, nd he totaly understood.
I know this souds very random Mr. Kay but when you throw these free blogs at me i just dont know what to do. haha. but i am proud of myself and hope to get everything done nd take advantage of this time.
Megan Fraser 5th hour Today I'm going to talk about the importance of music to me. Lately it seems like I haven't had time to get things done and I started falling behind. On top of that, my parents expect absolute perfection or else I get my phone taken away. I have to pay for everything so I'm trying to get everything done. When I'm stressing out about all these things, music is what calms me down. I listen to a ton of different kinds of music. It pretty much all depends on my mood at the time. I get distracted really easy and the music always playing in the background helps me tune out distractions and stay on task. Listening to certain songs help me feel better about things. I don't know what I would do without my ipod or a radio.
For my free blog I am going to write about what I might be doing over the summer. My mom asked me if I wanted to go to Alaska for a month over the summer to work for my uncle. I said would like to go because I would get to see my anut, uncle, and my cousins. Also, it would be nice because I never see them and I would get a chance to hang out with them. I think it would be nice to go and get away from here during the summer because it can get kind of boring. My uncle is a denist so I will be working in the office area so I will be making a little money that will be fun. Maybe if I do go maybe he will let me pull out a tooth. Katherine Walsh 6th hour
I think I'll talk about what I plan to do after high school. I have always been indecisive about what I wanted to do and never really have been sure. This year I actually have a solid base of what I plan on doing. I want to go to Specs Howard for radio. I also had being a cop in mind. I want go to Specs Howard because I enjoy music and being on the radio seems like it would be fun. I might want to be a cop because that also seems like fun. It also wouldn't hurt to help other people.
I am going to blog about video games. Kids stress so much interest into video games, where all they cans think about is playing video games. Video games have come so far that kids suffer in school because of it. Kids in school nowadays brag about how long they stayed up or what level their on. While I do agree that playing video games is fun, I don't really play that much of them. I have too many thinkgs on my plate. These games to me are a free time experience or something to do when no one is around. These shouldn't be a daily thing. This is why so many kids are struggling with school. Too much focus is emphasized on their games. I think I have a great balance in my life and video games are barely even a fraction of it. Hopefully kids in the future will be willing to lay off on the games.
I dont really know what to talk about for this free blog. I guess i will takl about music also. Music is a big par tof my life. I love listening to all kinds of music. Im not good at all at playing music on instruments but i like singing and listening to music. With music you can escape from everything for just a little while wile you listen to the music. I like to listen to almost every kind of music. I odn treally like screemo or rap. Some of it is ok but most i dont like.
The future. Everybody worries about it, even I do. What you want to do when you grow up, what college do you want to go to,and so on and so forth. It's all a part of the future but nobody really knows what's for sure or not. I know that I want to be a musician/singer/songwriter but even now i'm not totally for sure about it. I just know that playing/ singing music is something that I love to do. All anybody can hope for is to find something that they love to do and go for it. Some people live in regret because they couldn't do that one thing they wanted to do or that one job that really spoke to them. It's sad to know that there are so many of us that live like this. I believe everybody has the potential to do whatever they want, all they need is a push to get them going.
5th Today for my free blog I am going to write about the summer. For me, summer is my favorite part of the year. It's a time where I can relax and not worry about schoolwork and other important things like that. Basically, I can wake up when I want to, and I have a lot of things that I can do. Because the weather is so nice, summer doesn't restrain you from doing very much. You can hang out on the beach, on the water or just outside in your back yard. It is just one perfect day after another. My favorite part of the summer is the fourth of July. I love watching the fireworks with family and friends. This summer, I have to get a job. It is a summer where I will have the most responsibility because I will have to handle a job and driving. However, both of those things lead to a lot of freedom for me as well. I hope to enjoy this summer because next school year is going to be very demanding. Juniors have ACTS and have to seriously start looking into colleges. I'm looking forward to some of that, but first I want to enjoy my summer.
Well now that a couple people have blogged on the future and what they want to do, I began having doubts on my future. I don't mean that I have doubts as though I won't go anywhere in life, but that I don't know what to go into. My grades are pretty good they are all A's and B's. With these grades I should be able to pick a college I like. I'm just not sure what I want to study in college. I enjoy computers and technical stuff but I also think I would enjoy something medical involved. I think when its time to choose what I want to do I will make the right decision, but right now I'm a little worried I will waste money on classes I won't need.
Mr.kay, For my free blog tonight i suppose i will talk about school. I have always loved going to school learning and being with people in genral. But lately i havent enjoyed school as must as i used to. I've really been trying to understand why. Im thinking it's because with every year it gets harder and harder and because of that im really not liking anymore. Im thinking it could also have something to do with getting older and knowing that im two years i will be going off to college. Not going to lie it kind of scares me. Other then that though i think well, i hope school will be good for my remaning two years and i can just enjoy it and be happy and proud.
Today I will talk about an event that is happening next November. My uncle Rob is finally(!) getting married. He is engaged to a very pretty woman from Florida. We will be flying down their next year. I am excited for my uncle but I am more excited for the simple things. I am really excited just to ride on a plane for the first time. Now I say the 1st time because the one and only time I was on a plane I was 5 years old and I don't really remember it. Another thing that I am really excited about is going to Disney. I want to experience this magical place and have a nice relaxing vacation. I don't care how old I am, I think that Disney World is for everyone of all ages and is one of the coolest places on earth.
Mr. Kay and other readers, In my free blog I would like to talk about ones future. A lot of people, by my age know what they want to be in a few years. To me, I don't know if it is right to know until senior year. I am not saying I haven't thought about what I want to be, but I just don't know if it is right. See, there are three different types of people at this time; People who know what they want to be, people who don't, and people who stress over it. To me, it doesn't matter.I think that the later you figure out the more you will know. You will get to explore more and find your real passion you want to turn your life into. The key is to find out, sooner or later. If you don't, you will be rushed or pressures into doing something you might not like. Well anywhoozle, when I get out of school, I want to go to a film school. I like movies a whole lot and I really enjoy doing things behind the camera. I just think it would be a good fit for me. So if you don't know what you want to be when you get out of school, don't worry. You'll find your passion.
Today for my free blog, i am going to talk about college and my future. Over the last couple years i had no worries about going to college. I knew that since i had descent grades that i would have no problems getting into college. But recently im starting to worrie. Ive learned that there is more to getting into collge than just good grades. Ive also learned that your ACT scores count a lot, and taking advanced placement classes and extracurricualar activities count as well. Since my sister got wait listed to michigan state, that has really motivated me to do better in school, because that is one of the main schools i want to go to. Now that i know it isnt easy to get into college, i am going to try my hardest through my last two years of highschool.
Today I am going to write about what you said to me about how i was pitching the other day. Many people get the wrond impression of how someone is feeling by the way their face looks. Many people have expressions on their face that doesnt reflect how they are feeling, and may lead the people the wrong way. You said that I looked frustrated and unhappy, when reall I was feeling the opposite. sure i was frustrated, but I knew that I could get through it because I have confidence in myslef. So my point is is that not always do the people you see feel the way that they carry themselves.
Today im going to talk about 6th hour and how funny it was. Well, our 6th hour really likes to mess around with mohrs tv, and this time, he got realy pissed. He said how the tv was working fine, and that everytime the tv gets messed up, its in our hour. So mr morhs had it, and says the whole class is going to pay by staying after class for an hour. Finally before mr mohr finalized the punishment, brave zack szjaner fessed up. Ha, I thought mr mohr was going to go easy on zack since he did a noble thing. Ha was I wrong. It pretty much went something like mr mohr calling zack a jackass and how hes going to have a bunch of points taken off his grade. Mohr had to call TI in and he did his thing and got it to work again. Zack did a brave thing, he took most of the heat that shouldve been distributed to others, but it looked like zack was the only one who had some balls to fess up. The moral of this story is that, if you do stupid things, your eventually going to get caught. At some point, you have to stop and think of the consequences. People make mistakes, its how they pick themselves up that defines their charector.
For my free blog i am going to tlak about golf in my life. Golf is something that when i go out on the course i feel it's a new beggining and that everything in my mind goes away. that is something that is hard to find usually but it works when i am on the golf course. Also every hole is a new hole and it really doesn't matter what happened before. When i am playing golf i feel free because it is an individual sport and nothing is better then knowing you don't have to deal with hoping your teammates come through for you. Anther thing is you can play golf with anyone pretty much becasue it doesn't take physical abitlity when you think about it. Last golf is the best thing to do with friends becasue it is so much fun.
For my blog today I am going to write about accomplishments & goals. My dad is going to be running his 15th marathon next month (26.2 miles). He started running when I started kindergarten. Originally he did it to pass the time; then it became an addiction. I think about the inner strength he has to complete each one of his races. That makes me think about the goals I set for myself. The future is scary, especially when you question what you are going to do for the rest of your life. My sister always wanted to be a teacher and never questioned that she wanted to do anything else. So the pressure is on me, to figure it out. I know a lot of people are questioning the same thing; I will continue to try my hardest in school and to explore all of my options.
I will do a free blog on D-Guke. He is the cutiest person ever. He doesn't even have to try to make everyone laugh. Eventhough he did almost kill our fishes in math class. The black fish has many names. T Whatt calls him PAC. I call him Dan or curtis. The white fish i call cracker. I don't know what D-Guke calls him but he probly gave it the best name cuz D-Guke is the best. From now on i will not call D-Guke, D-Guke. I think we should all come up with a nickname for D-Gu-- I mean (insert name here) and call him that instead of; D-Guke or Guke, The guke, or dare bear, or what other name we have called him in the past. Zack ruffin
Today I would like to talk about determination. I like to go by the quote "Impossible is Nothing" by Adidas. I believe if you want something bad enough you can achieve it. However it takes more then just to want. It takes time and allot of effort. This is also not all you need, you need a positive attitude and a dream. I have a dream to become a collage basketball player. I try my best to stay focused and become better every time i am on the court. I truly think I have the love for the game enough to work hard everyday to achieve my goal.
I want to talk about what I want to do in life. First I want to go to school for law enforcement. I will probably join the armed forces but I'm unsure if I want to go before or after college. If I do go I want to go for Military Police. Most PD's say every year serving as a MP gets you an equivalent of 3 years on the force. I've been talking a lot with Detroit cops, and have been quite interested in being a cop. I'm a part of there airsoft team and we play every Friday night now. To protect and serve seems like the job for me, and hopefully I can work my way through the ranks if I become a cop. Currently on my team Zombie Squad I'm a sargent (SGT) and command a Squad of 8 men. I try to take these as seriously as I can because its good experience for my future, especialy because I may be able to get a job straight into Detroit PD if I follow the rought I'm going. Before I make any big decisions though I want to research a bit more on places and opertunities.
For my blog I am going to talk about fishing. Every fisherman is getting excited to hit the water soon and catch some fish. With warm weather and the beginning of summer right around the corner, I am getting excited to start fishing. I have been fishing my whole life and I love it just as much as hunting. I love to do all kinds of fishing from big water to small water. When I fish in the small lakes my favorite fish to catch is a bass. Bass are easy to catch and they are fun to reel in. In the great lakes I fish for king salmon. I have caught a lot of king salmon and they are really good to eat to. The only thing I havent done so far is go deep sea fishing or salt water fishing. I have always wanted to go in the ocean and catch some of the fish out there.
I will talk about my theme songs I put in for my characters.
You'll most likely noticed that Bel and Zamos both have songs by Pendulum. This will obviously state that the two are similar. If you had taken the time to look these up on youtube(I doubt it) you'll also notice that the songs are dramatically different.
Zamos his song builds up over time, much like anticipation, much like him before a battle. With his 'insane' attitude he'll be shouting nonsense like "HOLD STILL EVIL DOER SO THAT I MAY SMITE YOU!!" "I cast flare!* not really" And some situational ones. "ha-HA! So the evil comes out of hinding! Come my allies so that we may punish them!" "Zame?* We're surrounded." "Pfft! Only means that they are on our left, right, front, and back, also means that they can't escape our wrath and that we can charge in any direction!"
Flare-a blinding spell, that hurts, alot
Zame is a nick name for him.
Bel is however much different. Her song is much more quiet and down beat, she is a rouge. Fast, 'cheating' and unforgiving. And the only honor is for the living. I can't get worked up about her really.
Today I'm going to be talking about how people change. No matter how hard we fight change it always happens. It is a must to become a better person and grow up. However, it can also be very sad too. Some people in your life change as you change. This makes you grow closer to that person. Unfortunatly, as some change they drift away. It's not necissarily a bad thing, but it's so sad becomeing distant to a person that you were so close to. A big event in someones life changes a person more than they could ever know. Sometimes a drastic change in a short period of time seems frustrating and stressful, however people need to move on with their lives. Kristen Pauly 6th hr.
Today i am going to talk about my future, and how it is unknown. Right now i have no idea what i want to do after i get out of high school and don't know what field i want to go into. I don't even know what college i want to go to or where i want to live. These questions are always poping into my head and one of these days im going to have to make a choice. I was thinking that i don't want a office job, doing the same thing over and over would be boring. But at the same time i want to have a regular hours so that i can live a normal life. One fielded i have always been looking into is law enforcement or armed forces, i love the idea of serving my country, but not living near my family. My future is unknown and could go any diriction, but right now i just dont know what i am going to do.
yeah i pretty much told you we should do a free blog (:
i think im gonna talk about my weekend. friday i came home from school. I went and got a new phone because my other one was a piece! After that hailey and i had a couple of friends come over. Including my cousin.we had a lot of fun. saturday i went over to my friends alexs house and hung out with him and andrew for a little. MY big brother(david) hailey and alicia came and picked me up and we went and saw hannah montana. it was pretty much the best movie! then we went back to alicias house and we had to clean her room. Taylor came and picked us up. they droped me off at cjs house for his bonfire. i stayed there for the night. came home sundayy and hung out with my mom they david and cj came over for a little.(:.
For my free blog I will be talking about summer. I am really excited for the warm weather and the fun things I can do. My summer last year really sucked for me. I tore my ACL and Miniscus and had to get surgey. I was in cruches for half the year and couldn't do much. In the end of the year I had many resritions and couldn't do the things I wanted to do. I couldn't even play football when I really like playing. So this year Im ready to do the things that I like to do. I will be able to BMX and go boating. I will also beable to play football. I excited for the boating activities like kneeboarding. I would like to say that Im pretty good at it. This year I want to try a side flip. I think that I can do it and it would be a cool thinng to achieve. Over all I think that Im going to have a great summer. Chris Reid 6th hour
I am going to write about the equestrian team. The season for lakeland starts in august and goes till the end of ocober. Its a big committment, but i hear its also a lot of fun. The team practices twice a week and has a meet on saturdays. The girls become like a family, and placed second in their division last year. I believe i would be a great addition to the team because im experienced and i get along with everyone. Even though its hard to get out to the field twice a week, i think it will be worth it. I wont be able to join the team if my dad loses his job. Hopefully this wont happen, but who knows now. I am looking forward to joining the team, and i hope to will be a great season.
today i am going to talk about the music that causes the most suicide. the music that causes the must suicide is country. the reason that this is, because most country music is really depressing music. i think that the music that causes the least deaths is rap. this reason is because rap is mainly the kids that grew up in the hood and did not have anything else. another kind of music that causes a lot of deaths is scremeo. maybe people should start listening to rap instead.
So I was watching the first season of One Tree Hill today. I got me thinking, as much as some kids think that non of the stuff that happens in shows happens in real life. Well it does, teenager do get pregnet in high school. Best friends fight and so on. I see a little peice of Lakeland in Tree Hill High. Now I know that I might sound really stupid but I can connect with each character. Payton she is the missunderstood one. Brooke everybody knows her name. Haley is the smart one. Nathan is the jerk. Lucas is the nice bad boy. Everytime that I watch the show I learn from it. I take a different message. Each episode is trying to teach you a lesson. Not everyone can figure out that most televison shows are teaching you a lesson. They are so interested in watching the show. So whoever says that television is a bad thing I think that they need to actully watch a show and look for a deeper message.
good job conner on that blog. my free blog shall be about responsibilities too, now that i have my license i feel way older and more independent, i know many parents dont trust their kids right when they get there license so i always try to prove that i am responsible to them. when i drive, i never go more then five over i just got my license and i dont want to get it taken awhile. plus i could not afford a ticket, havin your license probably sounds freakin cool, bcuz it is, but anyways you have to be aware of everything, and it bugs me that kids my age try to act cool and speed, its not i really dont like that and i kind of wish that they would recieve a ticket so they will learn there lesson. driving is a privlage, and u should all be careful.
For my free blog today I am going to talk about my grades. Lately I feel like I've been slaking off a little bit. It's weird concidering that I do all of my homework, but maybe not to my full potintial. I don't feel like i need extra help on getting things done right but maybe i do. I want to graduate on time so i can get into living my life. I realze now that school is the most important thing right now and i need to focuse more and just get my shit done.
Today i think im going to blog about Fmylife.com and postsecret.com. Fmylife is a website were people can post short blogs about horrible, and unfortunate events that took place in their life. it sounds horrible right? but its kind of a relief. When you have a bad day your bound to end up complaining about it. i think this website is a good place to do that. I think it gives comedic relief to all the people that are having a shitty day. its a reminder that your not alone. Postsecrets is a website that renews itself every sunday. hundreds of thousands of people send in their secrets on a decorated postcard and some go up on the website. they can be silly or serious or devastating or just embarrassing and insecure. Everyone has little secrets that they dont even tell their closets friends. but this website gives you a chance to feel apart of something and a reminder that your not alone.
I know a few people have written about the future already but that is really on my mind right now. With the end of the year coming right around the corner means that we will soon be Juniors. That means taking the MME and ACT tests. I am worried about taking those test and applying for college. Also this week are hockey tryouts. My entire life I have always wanted to play college hockey. I'm also worried that if I don't make AAA hockey that I wont be able to achieve that dream. The other day I thought about how fast high school has gone by since just last year being a freshman. Some people don't think about how in just about 2 1/2 years we will be in the real world at college. And the decisions we make in the next few years will shape the rest of our lives.
For my free blog I am going to talk about the importance of an education to me. I believe that recieving a good education is the basis of a successful life. Especially in today's society, people are competing for jobs with others and even other overseas. I think, for this reason, there is good reason to worry about your future. However, while the more educated you are the better, some of the stuff taught in schools is corrupt. Therefore, you have to watch carefully about you choose to take in and learn to think for yourself. I hate to say it, but everyone thinks Global Warming is a scary concept. I think it's a myth. Al Gore is just saying crap becasue I think it is just a cycle. Eventually global temperatures will drop. However, that's just my opinion. Overall, education is very important to me.
mr kay. this blog might be a little short because i am typing with one hand. last night some shit happened i got in a fight anjd broke my hand.... that is why i wasn't at school today. i relize now that fightings not worth anything. if you win or loose. eather way it effects ur life in many ways. i also relize that parents are not the people you should fight with. i screwed up big time and now i have the pain and the cast to show for it. i am not proud nor happy with my decisions.
As for my free blog tonight, I will talk about family. We all have family, whether their blood related or just people that you care for and that care for you. My family is always here for me, and it's good coming home to a loving family. Lately, my family has been getting on my nerves though. Yes, I still love them, it's I'm at "the age" where I always apparently need to be told what I can and cannot do. I know, that they are just looking out for me. But, I am old enough now to make my own decisions. My family and I are really close, I basically tell my mom everything, and as for my brother I tell him some stuff, and for my dad, I tell him what he asks. In all honesty, I don't mind telling my family things, I like them knowing that they can count on me not to do anything stupid. It's just when they think I'm a bad kid for the littlest thing, is when it upsets me. Overall, families are here for love and support, and they do the things they do (whether you like it or not) it's because they care for you, and want what's best for you.
I'm going to write about detention and how stupid it is to be sitting in a room for an extra hour after school. Detention has no good effect on people and it just pisses me off to get three freakin tardies and have to skip basketball after school so i can sit in Mr. Trices room and stare at the wall for an hour. Detenetion should be banned from schools because detention won't help me get to 1st hour on time. All detention does is make me want to just quit going to 1st hour period. I also think that for 1st hour, teachers should be more forgiving towards people coming in late. I live like 45 minutes from school and sometimes i don't show up on time. Nobody likes detention, not even the teachers that have to stay after and watch 30 kids for an hour. Life would be less stressful if there was no detention.
For my free blog im going to talk about being a true friend. To be honest i have about 2 best friends. I can trust them with my life. True friends are the ones who are always there by your side. They're there when you need a shoulder to cry on. And there for you when you need help. t.staff has been my best friend sense the first grade. She has always been there for me threw thick and thin. She knows me inside out. I can trust her with my life. Everyone needs someone like that in their lives. You really only need one true friend, rather than a bunch of non true friends.
to me, this is to understand how we as the human race understand things. How do we interpret the information we gain, and how do we spit it out; and how to we view upon it. everyone idea is unique, because it comes from a different mind, from a different background. because no mind is alike to any other, because of the shear fact that it can not exist.
so i give you this quote:
"The moment a man questions his life, he is sick, ... but a person does not become serious until he faces the question."
the truth is, that once we hear this question, wether we accept it or not, we are doomed to be counting down. because we are looking for the great almighty purpose. But no one can be true without facing this question, in my opinion. Because we all give life a meaning, wether it comes true or not, you are giving yourself goals to strive for, and purposefully giving yourself due existence, because when one does not ask the question "what is life, and what is my purpose", one is not leading their life, they are mimicking it, copying it from others, and not giving themselves purpose.
I give myself purpose to pass along all of the wise information i have accumulated, and will accumulate throughout my life. to be the one people look up to.
I give myself purpose to give knowledge to other, by becoming an educator, and to show that art is a depiction of ones emotions, and feelings, and that however you listen, or however you see, or even however you feel something; makes all the difference in the art which we create.
With that said, humans can not plan a life of goals though, but only hopw that there goals be met by exceedingly thin margins, because of how the world works, but those margins are only exceedingly small on the scale of the universe. Because on earth, everyone can reach their dreams and goals; and aspirations.
We pretty much give ourselves a bucket list, of all the things we want to do or achieve in our lifetimes. all we need to do, is make that reality we oh so often dream over and over in our heads, the clearest of realities that are in front of us.
"Make it what you want, and never let anyone stop you."
with all that said and done, i leave you with a new poem i am making up on the spot.
"Choice of Belief"
right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, these opposites may fight.
but from the words of many, who utter that we shall never become, shall be overthrown, with our oppression.
because as distant as one atom is away from another, and how close the universe seems to be, we all have a belief, in the sick twisted mind of everyone.
because of it, not one man who uttered the words: "you shall never see" ever came close to understanding his destiny.
because those who are evil, were raised on the same beliefs as us, and those who are good, were raised on the beliefs of evil, and the damnation that would ensue from such doings.
because we are all the same, You and I, although we share different beliefs, it was the choices that were made by others, and ourselves.
No more separates good from evil, than power and responsibility.
because the evil can not accept these, and are frustrated by not being able to.
because good can accept these powers, but understands that it is to great for one man.
and when we understand the understandings of people, we are so much closer than any physical obstacle that is in our way. our need is to accept the powers, and our want is to use them. but we will never come close to our unearthly desires.
because believing in ones choices, is the belief in something we have control over, and in the end, it might be evil to be in control of belief, but its is an evil good.
because having choices is what the game is about, and speaking with our voice, is the goal for us all.
and if you care to become the saint and savior we need, always remember, "that with great power comes great responsibility" and that is all you need, to be freed.
In my free blog today im going to talk about life. i feel life is what you make it as. also what happens to you in life. Also how people are to you and how you feel about people. If you let those people effect your life it can help or not help you it dependson how you listen and understand them. Making good cohices in life can give you the best time of your life. Making all the right coices and not taking any chances can hurt you to. so in life there are many ways that life can go at times.
Since I'm kind of stressed out and not in a good mood right now, I will write about what I've been wanting to do for years, but parent's won't let me.
Fandom Conventions.
Ever since I found out what they were, I've wanted to go to one. Just to meet up with people who like what I like would be interesting enough. Two specific kinds of conventions I would like to go to are: -Anime Conventions and -Furry COnventions.
I have anticipated and sat at home through THREE anime conventions that were free to go to in Allendale. Three times I anticipated and planned. Three times did I sit at home and sob my eyes out.
If it couldn't be more disappointing, easch year was followed by 'i promise you can go next time'. Lies. The next year, I told them that they promised me. They told me 'no i didn't. stop lying to me'.
Now I'm all packed and ready for my first convention, a furry con's second running that's taking place in Novi, and they've threatened to make me stay home again. It hit me hard and low, low enough to feel like they shoved my stomach into my chest and my heart out my mouth. If they did that, I would die. There would be no more hope. No more dreams. Everything I have lived for would spiral into nothing.
All I've ever wanted was to spend only a few days with people who share my interests. I've never been in a crowd that accepted all of me for me. I've never been somewhere where being weird was okay...
I guess there are some things we aren't meant to have. We strive for it, yearn for it. And when it comes time to go, you're bags have been unpacked, and your ticket rejected. Stopped in your tracks...
If you can't tell, the furry fandom and art are my life. It has enveloped my heart to where one without the other is not possible. I cannot promise cooperation. No promises, no expectations.
Today was a very good day for me which I am very glad it was. When I woke up I was tired and annoyed like usual. When I went to school it was the same I was stressed about a quiz I had in Spanish. However the quiz ended up being moved to another day. Anyways my day was so nice because I bonded with my sister. My sister and I usually do not spend that much time together, so when we went to a movie it was really nice. We saw Seventeen Again and it was very funny. I liked the day so much because it was something I had not done in a while and it made me happy. I really miss spending time with my sister and hope we continue to do fun things together.
Pom tryouts are this week, and it's amazing to finally be back to doing the sport I love. I haven't done poms in months, so now I'm pretty sore from everything and I'm getting a bad bruise on my knee from landing on the floor. Although it may be a little painful, there is always that motto of, "No pain, no gain." The group of new people trying out is mainly incoming freshman. I was in their spot two years ago and remember being completely lost at what I was supposed to be doing and because of those old memories I have been helping the 8th graders as much as possible. I want them to feel confident rather than overwhelmed. We still have one more day until the actual day we have to be judged on our performance, so I'm hoping everyone feels like they have a good understanding of the routine by then. I can't wait for another season. Hopefully this year I won't get hurt again, because it's not that fun sitting and hitting play and pause on the radio for the team (and I got made fun of for that by some people haha).
For today i guess i will talk about our government. Sometimes i just dont get what they are thinking. I understand that we are in a recesion and all but why do we spend so much money. If you dont have money you save, you dont spend more. For my generation an the one below me we are going to have to pay higher taxes forever to pay off these federal funds. I don't think it is fair to us. It is not the American peoples fault we are in this mess. We all know that stimulus packages arent going to work and neither are bailouts. Study show this from the past that it has no effect on getting to prosperity. I think the government needs to open its eyes and think for a moment. Blanz 6th
I can’t wait for summer vacation. I would get a chance to sleep in more. I would be able to go and practice tennis. Also be able to swim in the lake and water ski with my family. Now that my Dad is retired we can go fishing. We can go to the shooting range. It will be great to spend time with my Dad and brother. We can sit at the bonfire by the lake. I can have friends over and have fun. We will be going to Florida to see family. On the way back we will stop at Tennessee and get some awesome fireworks! It’s going to be a great summer.
for this blog i am going back tko something we did when we started Of Mice and Men.when we had to write that paragraph on something we use everyday but look at it in a different perspective. i wrote about a car and now that i was thinking about it i think about looking at things in different ways a lot. sometimes when i am just driving or sitting there i look at something and think of how wierd it must be like to look at that if i wasn't used to it or from a different place. also in the summer when you go outside at night it feels like a whole different world even if you are in your backyard. i always wondered what it would be like to be nochternal. sometimes things we do and have seem so pointless and wierd if you think about it. and to be honest some things dont even make that much sense.
I want to write my free blog on inspiration. I think that someone who does anything has to be inspired to do it. Personally, i get inspired when i just see people doing stuff and having fun. It makes me just want to do what they are. Secondly something that inspires me is music. I always have my music before a game or a workout. I think that it inspires you to do much better. I think that this is the same thing as getting pumped up but it can be done in many different ways. I also find it fun to see the way other people prepare and inspire themselves. I think that some take a silent and deep path, or i have seen some people who need to stay loose and joke around. It kind of makes me mad when people tell you what you should to when you prepare and inspire yourself. I think ita a personal preference and everyone should have their own way that is accepted.
As a free blog day, I'd like to tell you about my interior contradiction. Like I said before, I'm a very passionate person. Only about what I like, but none about others. It's so strange how I sometimes desire to read books while sometimes I'd rather kill myself than read books. Or sometimes I wanna run as much as I can till I pass out while sometimes I wish I'd rather just pass out than go to run. As you can see, I'm a person who pretty much gets influenced, and affected its enthusiasm by the external factors. In other words, "motivation" is the most significant factor that makes me work out. When I had such a strict teacher who never let me have fun but study, my studying skill'd been improved incredibly. So I often try to find a person who spurs me to work hard. But the funny thing is... even finding the motivator needs a motivation to do.

Mr. Kay,
In your blog detention today, I heard you talking about how in Europe, once you've finished highschool you get to take a year off and just descover yourself and figure out what you want to do, while in America, once you get out of highschool, you automatically go right into college. I was thinking about that, and I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old, how I wanted to grow up to be an artist. I kept that dream job until about 2 years ago. I still love drawing with all my heart, and people tell me I'm good at it, but its just not what I want to do anymore. My favorite subject is History, and for about a year I wanted to be a History teacher, but know I don't. I am worried that I won't know what I want to do when I get older, and that I will have a very hard time choosing what I will want to do, which will slow down the process of me going to college. I want to do something that I will love doing, but I can't think of anything. I'm worried sick, but I'm going to just focus on school for now until I get the grades I want to get into the college of my choice.

ahhh another good ol' free blog....
Well for my free blog today i will talk about responsibilities. Very big word for a kid like me but i actually feel really good about myself right now for making a very wise and responsable decision. When i got home from school i was very rushed to get to golf practice. Now let me remind you that my life revolves around sports. So anyway, i was looking forward to golf practice that way i could get out and play. On the other hand i had a ton of homework that needed to be caught up on and turned in by friday in all my classes. I was always told that i may love sports so much i want to go to practice but no matter what is going on school is the first thing i must worry about. So by being wise i decided to call my coach and explain my ketching up that needed to be done, nd he totaly understood.
I know this souds very random Mr. Kay but when you throw these free blogs at me i just dont know what to do. haha. but i am proud of myself and hope to get everything done nd take advantage of this time.

Today I'm going to talk about the importance of music to me. Lately it seems like I haven't had time to get things done and I started falling behind. On top of that, my parents expect absolute perfection or else I get my phone taken away. I have to pay for everything so I'm trying to get everything done. When I'm stressing out about all these things, music is what calms me down. I listen to a ton of different kinds of music. It pretty much all depends on my mood at the time. I get distracted really easy and the music always playing in the background helps me tune out distractions and stay on task. Listening to certain songs help me feel better about things. I don't know what I would do without my ipod or a radio.
For my free blog I am going to write about what I might be doing over the summer. My mom asked me if I wanted to go to Alaska for a month over the summer to work for my uncle. I said would like to go because I would get to see my anut, uncle, and my cousins. Also, it would be nice because I never see them and I would get a chance to hang out with them. I think it would be nice to go and get away from here during the summer because it can get kind of boring. My uncle is a denist so I will be working in the office area so I will be making a little money that will be fun. Maybe if I do go maybe he will let me pull out a tooth.

I think I'll talk about what I plan to do after high school. I have always been indecisive about what I wanted to do and never really have been sure. This year I actually have a solid base of what I plan on doing. I want to go to Specs Howard for radio. I also had being a cop in mind. I want go to Specs Howard because I enjoy music and being on the radio seems like it would be fun. I might want to be a cop because that also seems like fun. It also wouldn't hurt to help other people.

I am going to blog about video games. Kids stress so much interest into video games, where all they cans think about is playing video games. Video games have come so far that kids suffer in school because of it. Kids in school nowadays brag about how long they stayed up or what level their on. While I do agree that playing video games is fun, I don't really play that much of them. I have too many thinkgs on my plate. These games to me are a free time experience or something to do when no one is around. These shouldn't be a daily thing. This is why so many kids are struggling with school. Too much focus is emphasized on their games. I think I have a great balance in my life and video games are barely even a fraction of it. Hopefully kids in the future will be willing to lay off on the games.

I dont really know what to talk about for this free blog. I guess i will takl about music also. Music is a big par tof my life. I love listening to all kinds of music. Im not good at all at playing music on instruments but i like singing and listening to music. With music you can escape from everything for just a little while wile you listen to the music. I like to listen to almost every kind of music. I odn treally like screemo or rap. Some of it is ok but most i dont like.

The future. Everybody worries about it, even I do. What you want to do when you grow up, what college do you want to go to,and so on and so forth. It's all a part of the future but nobody really knows what's for sure or not. I know that I want to be a musician/singer/songwriter but even now i'm not totally for sure about it. I just know that playing/ singing music is something that I love to do. All anybody can hope for is to find something that they love to do and go for it. Some people live in regret because they couldn't do that one thing they wanted to do or that one job that really spoke to them. It's sad to know that there are so many of us that live like this. I believe everybody has the potential to do whatever they want, all they need is a push to get them going.

Today for my free blog I am going to write about the summer. For me, summer is my favorite part of the year. It's a time where I can relax and not worry about schoolwork and other important things like that. Basically, I can wake up when I want to, and I have a lot of things that I can do. Because the weather is so nice, summer doesn't restrain you from doing very much. You can hang out on the beach, on the water or just outside in your back yard. It is just one perfect day after another. My favorite part of the summer is the fourth of July. I love watching the fireworks with family and friends. This summer, I have to get a job. It is a summer where I will have the most responsibility because I will have to handle a job and driving. However, both of those things lead to a lot of freedom for me as well. I hope to enjoy this summer because next school year is going to be very demanding. Juniors have ACTS and have to seriously start looking into colleges. I'm looking forward to some of that, but first I want to enjoy my summer.
Well now that a couple people have blogged on the future and what they want to do, I began having doubts on my future. I don't mean that I have doubts as though I won't go anywhere in life, but that I don't know what to go into. My grades are pretty good they are all A's and B's. With these grades I should be able to pick a college I like. I'm just not sure what I want to study in college. I enjoy computers and technical stuff but I also think I would enjoy something medical involved. I think when its time to choose what I want to do I will make the right decision, but right now I'm a little worried I will waste money on classes I won't need.

Mr.kay,
For my free blog tonight i suppose i will talk about school. I have always loved going to school learning and being with people in genral. But lately i havent enjoyed school as must as i used to. I've really been trying to understand why. Im thinking it's because with every year it gets harder and harder and because of that im really not liking anymore. Im thinking it could also have something to do with getting older and knowing that im two years i will be going off to college. Not going to lie it kind of scares me. Other then that though i think well, i hope school will be good for my remaning two years and i can just enjoy it and be happy and proud.

Today I will talk about an event that is happening next November. My uncle Rob is finally(!) getting married. He is engaged to a very pretty woman from Florida. We will be flying down their next year. I am excited for my uncle but I am more excited for the simple things. I am really excited just to ride on a plane for the first time. Now I say the 1st time because the one and only time I was on a plane I was 5 years old and I don't really remember it. Another thing that I am really excited about is going to Disney. I want to experience this magical place and have a nice relaxing vacation. I don't care how old I am, I think that Disney World is for everyone of all ages and is one of the coolest places on earth.

Mr. Kay and other readers,
In my free blog I would like to talk about ones future. A lot of people, by my age know what they want to be in a few years. To me, I don't know if it is right to know until senior year. I am not saying I haven't thought about what I want to be, but I just don't know if it is right. See, there are three different types of people at this time; People who know what they want to be, people who don't, and people who stress over it. To me, it doesn't matter.I think that the later you figure out the more you will know. You will get to explore more and find your real passion you want to turn your life into. The key is to find out, sooner or later. If you don't, you will be rushed or pressures into doing something you might not like. Well anywhoozle, when I get out of school, I want to go to a film school. I like movies a whole lot and I really enjoy doing things behind the camera. I just think it would be a good fit for me. So if you don't know what you want to be when you get out of school, don't worry. You'll find your passion.

Today for my free blog, i am going to talk about college and my future. Over the last couple years i had no worries about going to college. I knew that since i had descent grades that i would have no problems getting into college. But recently im starting to worrie. Ive learned that there is more to getting into collge than just good grades. Ive also learned that your ACT scores count a lot, and taking advanced placement classes and extracurricualar activities count as well. Since my sister got wait listed to michigan state, that has really motivated me to do better in school, because that is one of the main schools i want to go to. Now that i know it isnt easy to get into college, i am going to try my hardest through my last two years of highschool.

Mr. Kay,
Today I am going to write about what you said to me about how i was pitching the other day. Many people get the wrond impression of how someone is feeling by the way their face looks. Many people have expressions on their face that doesnt reflect how they are feeling, and may lead the people the wrong way. You said that I looked frustrated and unhappy, when reall I was feeling the opposite. sure i was frustrated, but I knew that I could get through it because I have confidence in myslef. So my point is is that not always do the people you see feel the way that they carry themselves.
Today im going to talk about 6th hour and how funny it was. Well, our 6th hour really likes to mess around with mohrs tv, and this time, he got realy pissed. He said how the tv was working fine, and that everytime the tv gets messed up, its in our hour. So mr morhs had it, and says the whole class is going to pay by staying after class for an hour. Finally before mr mohr finalized the punishment, brave zack szjaner fessed up. Ha, I thought mr mohr was going to go easy on zack since he did a noble thing. Ha was I wrong. It pretty much went something like mr mohr calling zack a jackass and how hes going to have a bunch of points taken off his grade. Mohr had to call TI in and he did his thing and got it to work again. Zack did a brave thing, he took most of the heat that shouldve been distributed to others, but it looked like zack was the only one who had some balls to fess up. The moral of this story is that, if you do stupid things, your eventually going to get caught. At some point, you have to stop and think of the consequences. People make mistakes, its how they pick themselves up that defines their charector.

For my free blog i am going to tlak about golf in my life. Golf is something that when i go out on the course i feel it's a new beggining and that everything in my mind goes away. that is something that is hard to find usually but it works when i am on the golf course. Also every hole is a new hole and it really doesn't matter what happened before. When i am playing golf i feel free because it is an individual sport and nothing is better then knowing you don't have to deal with hoping your teammates come through for you. Anther thing is you can play golf with anyone pretty much becasue it doesn't take physical abitlity when you think about it. Last golf is the best thing to do with friends becasue it is so much fun.

For my blog today I am going to write about accomplishments & goals. My dad is going to be running his 15th marathon next month (26.2 miles). He started running when I started kindergarten. Originally he did it to pass the time; then it became an addiction. I think about the inner strength he has to complete each one of his races. That makes me think about the goals I set for myself. The future is scary, especially when you question what you are going to do for the rest of your life. My sister always wanted to be a teacher and never questioned that she wanted to do anything else. So the pressure is on me, to figure it out. I know a lot of people are questioning the same thing; I will continue to try my hardest in school and to explore all of my options.
I will do a free blog on D-Guke. He is the cutiest person ever. He doesn't even have to try to make everyone laugh. Eventhough he did almost kill our fishes in math class. The black fish has many names. T Whatt calls him PAC. I call him Dan or curtis. The white fish i call cracker. I don't know what D-Guke calls him but he probly gave it the best name cuz D-Guke is the best. From now on i will not call D-Guke, D-Guke. I think we should all come up with a nickname for D-Gu-- I mean (insert name here) and call him that instead of; D-Guke or Guke, The guke, or dare bear, or what other name we have called him in the past.

Today I would like to talk about determination. I like to go by the quote "Impossible is Nothing" by Adidas. I believe if you want something bad enough you can achieve it. However it takes more then just to want. It takes time and allot of effort. This is also not all you need, you need a positive attitude and a dream. I have a dream to become a collage basketball player. I try my best to stay focused and become better every time i am on the court. I truly think I have the love for the game enough to work hard everyday to achieve my goal.

I want to talk about what I want to do in life. First I want to go to school for law enforcement. I will probably join the armed forces but I'm unsure if I want to go before or after college. If I do go I want to go for Military Police. Most PD's say every year serving as a MP gets you an equivalent of 3 years on the force. I've been talking a lot with Detroit cops, and have been quite interested in being a cop. I'm a part of there airsoft team and we play every Friday night now. To protect and serve seems like the job for me, and hopefully I can work my way through the ranks if I become a cop. Currently on my team Zombie Squad I'm a sargent (SGT) and command a Squad of 8 men. I try to take these as seriously as I can because its good experience for my future, especialy because I may be able to get a job straight into Detroit PD if I follow the rought I'm going. Before I make any big decisions though I want to research a bit more on places and opertunities.
For my blog I am going to talk about fishing. Every fisherman is getting excited to hit the water soon and catch some fish. With warm weather and the beginning of summer right around the corner, I am getting excited to start fishing. I have been fishing my whole life and I love it just as much as hunting. I love to do all kinds of fishing from big water to small water. When I fish in the small lakes my favorite fish to catch is a bass. Bass are easy to catch and they are fun to reel in. In the great lakes I fish for king salmon. I have caught a lot of king salmon and they are really good to eat to. The only thing I havent done so far is go deep sea fishing or salt water fishing. I have always wanted to go in the ocean and catch some of the fish out there.

I will talk about my theme songs I put in for my characters.
You'll most likely noticed that Bel and Zamos both have songs by Pendulum. This will obviously state that the two are similar. If you had taken the time to look these up on youtube(I doubt it) you'll also notice that the songs are dramatically different.
Zamos his song builds up over time, much like anticipation, much like him before a battle. With his 'insane' attitude he'll be shouting nonsense like
"HOLD STILL EVIL DOER SO THAT I MAY SMITE YOU!!"
"I cast flare!* not really"
And some situational ones.
"ha-HA! So the evil comes out of hinding! Come my allies so that we may punish them!"
"Zame?* We're surrounded."
"Pfft! Only means that they are on our left, right, front, and back, also means that they can't escape our wrath and that we can charge in any direction!"
Flare-a blinding spell, that hurts, alot
Zame is a nick name for him.
Bel is however much different. Her song is much more quiet and down beat, she is a rouge. Fast, 'cheating' and unforgiving. And the only honor is for the living.
I can't get worked up about her really.
Today I'm going to be talking about how people change. No matter how hard we fight change it always happens. It is a must to become a better person and grow up. However, it can also be very sad too. Some people in your life change as you change. This makes you grow closer to that person. Unfortunatly, as some change they drift away. It's not necissarily a bad thing, but it's so sad becomeing distant to a person that you were so close to. A big event in someones life changes a person more than they could ever know. Sometimes a drastic change in a short period of time seems frustrating and stressful, however people need to move on with their lives.

Today i am going to talk about my future, and how it is unknown. Right now i have no idea what i want to do after i get out of high school and don't know what field i want to go into. I don't even know what college i want to go to or where i want to live. These questions are always poping into my head and one of these days im going to have to make a choice. I was thinking that i don't want a office job, doing the same thing over and over would be boring. But at the same time i want to have a regular hours so that i can live a normal life. One fielded i have always been looking into is law enforcement or armed forces, i love the idea of serving my country, but not living near my family. My future is unknown and could go any diriction, but right now i just dont know what i am going to do.

For my free blog I will be talking about summer. I am really excited for the warm weather and the fun things I can do. My summer last year really sucked for me. I tore my ACL and Miniscus and had to get surgey. I was in cruches for half the year and couldn't do much. In the end of the year I had many resritions and couldn't do the things I wanted to do. I couldn't even play football when I really like playing. So this year Im ready to do the things that I like to do. I will be able to BMX and go boating. I will also beable to play football. I excited for the boating activities like kneeboarding. I would like to say that Im pretty good at it. This year I want to try a side flip. I think that I can do it and it would be a cool thinng to achieve. Over all I think that Im going to have a great summer.

I am going to write about the equestrian team. The season for lakeland starts in august and goes till the end of ocober. Its a big committment, but i hear its also a lot of fun. The team practices twice a week and has a meet on saturdays. The girls become like a family, and placed second in their division last year. I believe i would be a great addition to the team because im experienced and i get along with everyone. Even though its hard to get out to the field twice a week, i think it will be worth it. I wont be able to join the team if my dad loses his job. Hopefully this wont happen, but who knows now. I am looking forward to joining the team, and i hope to will be a great season.

today i am going to talk about the music that causes the most suicide. the music that causes the must suicide is country. the reason that this is, because most country music is really depressing music. i think that the music that causes the least deaths is rap. this reason is because rap is mainly the kids that grew up in the hood and did not have anything else. another kind of music that causes a lot of deaths is scremeo. maybe people should start listening to rap instead.
So I was watching the first season of One Tree Hill today. I got me thinking, as much as some kids think that non of the stuff that happens in shows happens in real life. Well it does, teenager do get pregnet in high school. Best friends fight and so on. I see a little peice of Lakeland in Tree Hill High. Now I know that I might sound really stupid but I can connect with each character. Payton she is the missunderstood one. Brooke everybody knows her name. Haley is the smart one. Nathan is the jerk. Lucas is the nice bad boy. Everytime that I watch the show I learn from it. I take a different message. Each episode is trying to teach you a lesson. Not everyone can figure out that most televison shows are teaching you a lesson. They are so interested in watching the show. So whoever says that television is a bad thing I think that they need to actully watch a show and look for a deeper message.
good job conner on that blog. my free blog shall be about responsibilities too, now that i have my license i feel way older and more independent, i know many parents dont trust their kids right when they get there license so i always try to prove that i am responsible to them. when i drive, i never go more then five over i just got my license and i dont want to get it taken awhile. plus i could not afford a ticket, havin your license probably sounds freakin cool, bcuz it is, but anyways you have to be aware of everything, and it bugs me that kids my age try to act cool and speed, its not i really dont like that and i kind of wish that they would recieve a ticket so they will learn there lesson. driving is a privlage, and u should all be careful.

Today i think im going to blog about Fmylife.com and postsecret.com. Fmylife is a website were people can post short blogs about horrible, and unfortunate events that took place in their life. it sounds horrible right? but its kind of a relief. When you have a bad day your bound to end up complaining about it. i think this website is a good place to do that. I think it gives comedic relief to all the people that are having a shitty day. its a reminder that your not alone. Postsecrets is a website that renews itself every sunday. hundreds of thousands of people send in their secrets on a decorated postcard and some go up on the website. they can be silly or serious or devastating or just embarrassing and insecure. Everyone has little secrets that they dont even tell their closets friends. but this website gives you a chance to feel apart of something and a reminder that your not alone.
I know a few people have written about the future already but that is really on my mind right now. With the end of the year coming right around the corner means that we will soon be Juniors. That means taking the MME and ACT tests. I am worried about taking those test and applying for college. Also this week are hockey tryouts. My entire life I have always wanted to play college hockey. I'm also worried that if I don't make AAA hockey that I wont be able to achieve that dream. The other day I thought about how fast high school has gone by since just last year being a freshman. Some people don't think about how in just about 2 1/2 years we will be in the real world at college. And the decisions we make in the next few years will shape the rest of our lives.

For my free blog I am going to talk about the importance of an education to me. I believe that recieving a good education is the basis of a successful life. Especially in today's society, people are competing for jobs with others and even other overseas. I think, for this reason, there is good reason to worry about your future. However, while the more educated you are the better, some of the stuff taught in schools is corrupt. Therefore, you have to watch carefully about you choose to take in and learn to think for yourself. I hate to say it, but everyone thinks Global Warming is a scary concept. I think it's a myth. Al Gore is just saying crap becasue I think it is just a cycle. Eventually global temperatures will drop. However, that's just my opinion. Overall, education is very important to me.
In todays blog im going to wright about.......
I love you for who you are,
I fell in love with who you were,
I just wish everything was back to being the same,
I wish you werent who you are today,
But we will get throught it day by day,
You made me smile in every way,
I felt so happy and free with you everyday,
Now your gone and nothings the same,
I wish we could be back together and everything be the same,
I loved you so much but it just faded away,
You said you loved me in every way,
but it just ended up all fading away,
I wish you could just see my way,
How i feel day by day,
You critasize but,
you just dont really realize,
How i feel,
This pain you have caused,
just makes me want to hide,
This could just make me cry

As for my free blog tonight, I will talk about family. We all have family, whether their blood related or just people that you care for and that care for you. My family is always here for me, and it's good coming home to a loving family. Lately, my family has been getting on my nerves though. Yes, I still love them, it's I'm at "the age" where I always apparently need to be told what I can and cannot do. I know, that they are just looking out for me. But, I am old enough now to make my own decisions. My family and I are really close, I basically tell my mom everything, and as for my brother I tell him some stuff, and for my dad, I tell him what he asks. In all honesty, I don't mind telling my family things, I like them knowing that they can count on me not to do anything stupid. It's just when they think I'm a bad kid for the littlest thing, is when it upsets me. Overall, families are here for love and support, and they do the things they do (whether you like it or not) it's because they care for you, and want what's best for you.

I'm going to write about detention and how stupid it is to be sitting in a room for an extra hour after school. Detention has no good effect on people and it just pisses me off to get three freakin tardies and have to skip basketball after school so i can sit in Mr. Trices room and stare at the wall for an hour. Detenetion should be banned from schools because detention won't help me get to 1st hour on time. All detention does is make me want to just quit going to 1st hour period. I also think that for 1st hour, teachers should be more forgiving towards people coming in late. I live like 45 minutes from school and sometimes i don't show up on time. Nobody likes detention, not even the teachers that have to stay after and watch 30 kids for an hour. Life would be less stressful if there was no detention.
For my free blog im going to talk about being a true friend. To be honest i have about 2 best friends. I can trust them with my life. True friends are the ones who are always there by your side. They're there when you need a shoulder to cry on. And there for you when you need help. t.staff has been my best friend sense the first grade. She has always been there for me threw thick and thin. She knows me inside out. I can trust her with my life. Everyone needs someone like that in their lives. You really only need one true friend, rather than a bunch of non true friends.
Philosophy
to me, this is to understand how we as the human race understand things. How do we interpret the information we gain, and how do we spit it out; and how to we view upon it. everyone idea is unique, because it comes from a different mind, from a different background. because no mind is alike to any other, because of the shear fact that it can not exist.
so i give you this quote:
"The moment a man questions his life, he is sick, ... but a person does not become serious until he faces the question."
the truth is, that once we hear this question, wether we accept it or not, we are doomed to be counting down. because we are looking for the great almighty purpose. But no one can be true without facing this question, in my opinion. Because we all give life a meaning, wether it comes true or not, you are giving yourself goals to strive for, and purposefully giving yourself due existence, because when one does not ask the question "what is life, and what is my purpose", one is not leading their life, they are mimicking it, copying it from others, and not giving themselves purpose.
I give myself purpose to pass along all of the wise information i have accumulated, and will accumulate throughout my life. to be the one people look up to.
I give myself purpose to give knowledge to other, by becoming an educator, and to show that art is a depiction of ones emotions, and feelings, and that however you listen, or however you see, or even however you feel something; makes all the difference in the art which we create.
With that said, humans can not plan a life of goals though, but only hopw that there goals be met by exceedingly thin margins, because of how the world works, but those margins are only exceedingly small on the scale of the universe. Because on earth, everyone can reach their dreams and goals; and aspirations.
We pretty much give ourselves a bucket list, of all the things we want to do or achieve in our lifetimes.
all we need to do, is make that reality we oh so often dream over and over in our heads, the clearest of realities that are in front of us.
"Make it what you want, and never let anyone stop you."
with all that said and done, i leave you with a new poem i am making up on the spot.
"Choice of Belief"
right and wrong,
good and evil,
black and white,
these opposites may fight.
but from the words of many,
who utter that we shall never become,
shall be overthrown,
with our oppression.
because as distant as one atom is away from another,
and how close the universe seems to be,
we all have a belief,
in the sick twisted mind of everyone.
because of it,
not one man who uttered the words:
"you shall never see"
ever came close to understanding his destiny.
because those who are evil,
were raised on the same beliefs as us,
and those who are good, were raised on the beliefs of evil,
and the damnation that would ensue from such doings.
because we are all the same,
You and I,
although we share different beliefs,
it was the choices that were made by others,
and ourselves.
No more separates good from evil,
than power and responsibility.
because the evil can not accept these,
and are frustrated by not being able to.
because good can accept these powers,
but understands that it is to great for one man.
and when we understand the understandings of people,
we are so much closer than any physical obstacle that is in our way.
our need is to accept the powers, and our want is to use them.
but we will never come close to our unearthly desires.
because believing in ones choices, is the belief in something we have control over,
and in the end,
it might be evil to be in control of belief,
but its is an evil good.
because having choices is what the game is about,
and speaking with our voice,
is the goal for us all.
and if you care to become the saint and savior we need,
always remember,
"that with great power comes great responsibility"
and that is all you need,
to be freed.
In my free blog today im going to talk about life. i feel life is what you make it as. also what happens to you in life. Also how people are to you and how you feel about people. If you let those people effect your life it can help or not help you it dependson how you listen and understand them. Making good cohices in life can give you the best time of your life. Making all the right coices and not taking any chances can hurt you to. so in life there are many ways that life can go at times.
Since I'm kind of stressed out and not in a good mood right now, I will write about what I've been wanting to do for years, but parent's won't let me.
Fandom Conventions.
Ever since I found out what they were, I've wanted to go to one. Just to meet up with people who like what I like would be interesting enough. Two specific kinds of conventions I would like to go to are:
-Anime Conventions
and
-Furry COnventions.
I have anticipated and sat at home through THREE anime conventions that were free to go to in Allendale. Three times I anticipated and planned. Three times did I sit at home and sob my eyes out.
If it couldn't be more disappointing, easch year was followed by 'i promise you can go next time'. Lies. The next year, I told them that they promised me. They told me 'no i didn't. stop lying to me'.
Now I'm all packed and ready for my first convention, a furry con's second running that's taking place in Novi, and they've threatened to make me stay home again. It hit me hard and low, low enough to feel like they shoved my stomach into my chest and my heart out my mouth. If they did that, I would die. There would be no more hope. No more dreams. Everything I have lived for would spiral into nothing.
All I've ever wanted was to spend only a few days with people who share my interests. I've never been in a crowd that accepted all of me for me. I've never been somewhere where being weird was okay...
I guess there are some things we aren't meant to have. We strive for it, yearn for it. And when it comes time to go, you're bags have been unpacked, and your ticket rejected. Stopped in your tracks...
If you can't tell, the furry fandom and art are my life. It has enveloped my heart to where one without the other is not possible. I cannot promise cooperation.
No promises,
no expectations.
A very depressed...

Today was a very good day for me which I am very glad it was. When I woke up I was tired and annoyed like usual. When I went to school it was the same I was stressed about a quiz I had in Spanish. However the quiz ended up being moved to another day. Anyways my day was so nice because I bonded with my sister. My sister and I usually do not spend that much time together, so when we went to a movie it was really nice. We saw Seventeen Again and it was very funny. I liked the day so much because it was something I had not done in a while and it made me happy. I really miss spending time with my sister and hope we continue to do fun things together.
Pom tryouts are this week, and it's amazing to finally be back to doing the sport I love. I haven't done poms in months, so now I'm pretty sore from everything and I'm getting a bad bruise on my knee from landing on the floor. Although it may be a little painful, there is always that motto of, "No pain, no gain." The group of new people trying out is mainly incoming freshman. I was in their spot two years ago and remember being completely lost at what I was supposed to be doing and because of those old memories I have been helping the 8th graders as much as possible. I want them to feel confident rather than overwhelmed. We still have one more day until the actual day we have to be judged on our performance, so I'm hoping everyone feels like they have a good understanding of the routine by then. I can't wait for another season. Hopefully this year I won't get hurt again, because it's not that fun sitting and hitting play and pause on the radio for the team (and I got made fun of for that by some people haha).

For today i guess i will talk about our government. Sometimes i just dont get what they are thinking. I understand that we are in a recesion and all but why do we spend so much money. If you dont have money you save, you dont spend more. For my generation an the one below me we are going to have to pay higher taxes forever to pay off these federal funds. I don't think it is fair to us. It is not the American peoples fault we are in this mess. We all know that stimulus packages arent going to work and neither are bailouts. Study show this from the past that it has no effect on getting to prosperity. I think the government needs to open its eyes and think for a moment.

I can’t wait for summer vacation. I would get a chance to sleep in more. I would be able to go and practice tennis. Also be able to swim in the lake and water ski with my family. Now that my Dad is retired we can go fishing. We can go to the shooting range. It will be great to spend time with my Dad and brother. We can sit at the bonfire by the lake. I can have friends over and have fun. We will be going to Florida to see family. On the way back we will stop at Tennessee and get some awesome fireworks! It’s going to be a great summer.
for this blog i am going back tko something we did when we started Of Mice and Men.when we had to write that paragraph on something we use everyday but look at it in a different perspective. i wrote about a car and now that i was thinking about it i think about looking at things in different ways a lot. sometimes when i am just driving or sitting there i look at something and think of how wierd it must be like to look at that if i wasn't used to it or from a different place. also in the summer when you go outside at night it feels like a whole different world even if you are in your backyard. i always wondered what it would be like to be nochternal. sometimes things we do and have seem so pointless and wierd if you think about it. and to be honest some things dont even make that much sense.
I want to write my free blog on inspiration. I think that someone who does anything has to be inspired to do it. Personally, i get inspired when i just see people doing stuff and having fun. It makes me just want to do what they are. Secondly something that inspires me is music. I always have my music before a game or a workout. I think that it inspires you to do much better. I think that this is the same thing as getting pumped up but it can be done in many different ways. I also find it fun to see the way other people prepare and inspire themselves. I think that some take a silent and deep path, or i have seen some people who need to stay loose and joke around. It kind of makes me mad when people tell you what you should to when you prepare and inspire yourself. I think ita a personal preference and everyone should have their own way that is accepted.
Darn it... I thought it was current event..
As a free blog day, I'd like to tell you about my interior contradiction. Like I said before, I'm a very passionate person. Only about what I like, but none about others. It's so strange how I sometimes desire to read books while sometimes I'd rather kill myself than read books. Or sometimes I wanna run as much as I can till I pass out while sometimes I wish I'd rather just pass out than go to run. As you can see, I'm a person who pretty much gets influenced, and affected its enthusiasm by the external factors. In other words, "motivation" is the most significant factor that makes me work out. When I had such a strict teacher who never let me have fun but study, my studying skill'd been improved incredibly. So I often try to find a person who spurs me to work hard. But the funny thing is... even finding the motivator needs a motivation to do.
