In my free blog I am going to talk about the hockey playoffs. When I watch the games I don't see the whole game. In game 4 Red wings against the Blackhawks, the Red wings won 6 to 1 so they did really well. There were a lot of penaltys against Chicago. Also, I think the goaley that usually plays for Chicago who is injured for that game could of saved most of the shots that the one goaley couldn't get.For the Red wings Datsyuk, Lidstrom, and Draper were all out of that game. Datsyuk and Lidstrom are going to be playing in Wednesday's game to help their team when game 5.

For my free blog im going to talk about the pros and cons of the end of the school year. Well, of course a pro is that its summer vacation and we are out of school for three months. Another pro, is that we get to see all of our friends everyday. Lastly, you get to stay up as late as you want, and get up whenever you want, total freedom. Now for the cons. Unfortunatly, when it gets to be the last few weeks of school, teachers start cramming in tons of homework and projects. Also, the thought of the seniors already being out of school, and us still dragging on for a couple of weeks. Lastly, the school friends that you talk to everyday, you may not keep in touch with during the summer.

Mr. Kay,
For my free blog tonight, I am going to be talking about some of the qualities I have / things I can do or like. (I can't think of anything else at the moment). When I was 5 or 6 years old, I took ballet for about 3 years. I then took 3 years of Dance class. My next hobbie was swimming, my dad told me that I could have been a professional if I would have kept it up. My swim teacher thought that I could do it, but I just lost the passion for it. I spent 9 years in Gymnastics, until I lost the passion for that too. I have been drawing for 15 years, and I have won over 7 awards because of them. My dad said that when I was little, I used to draw full figure people with every little detail. Both of my parents feel like I have given up on my talent for drawing. I used to be on the track team from 6th grade to 8th grade. I ran long distance, and I was the youngest girl high-jumper on the team. I did the high-jump for 7th - 8th grade, during one of the track meets in 8th grade, I hit my back on the high-jump pole and knocked into the metal bar holding it up. That was my last day as the youngest girl high-jumper on the team. I love playing Badminton with my family in the summer (especially with my older brother David). For as long as I can remember, I have loved Christmas music. I don't like to admit it, but I just cant get tired of it. I am the middle child of 4 (one is only 2 1/2 years old). Oh, and my friends think I look like Taylor Swift, but I think there crazy. I still get called Taylor by my friend Kayla :)

My sister was one of the many graduating seniors this year. It was not till after my sister was talking to my parents about how high school went by so fast that it really hit me. You are in highschool for four years, although that might seem like a long time it truly does fly by. Looking back it literally seems like just yesterday I was a freshman. My first two years really did fly by, and to be honest im kinda nervous about that. I honestly do not feel as if I have accomplished what I truly wanted to in my first highschool years. You think you have so much time but next thing you know your going in to your junior year with nit that much time left. So when hearing this conversation my sister was having with my parents, I decided maybe it really was time to try to accomplish something. Because these two years have gone by so quickly and honestly I don't want to be the senior whos looking back wondering what they were doing those four years of highschool. I want to seize control of every oppurtunity I can and make it work for me.
I am going to blog about my view on school work. I know this is a random topic, however I think it relates to me very much. Everyone says that they hate school work and that schools should drop it. This really makes me laugh becuase it's needed. People whine so much about work and yet, that's all the world is about. All you do is work if you really think about. People really need to wise up and take a reality check. I'll admit I am not a fan of working. However I do realize that I will have to learn how to work and be diligent about it. I know working will help me get somewhere in life. I like the feeling of knowing I'm progressing in life. This is from doing work in school. I also like seeing good grades which requires me to work. The school work serves as a prep for tests. I know this work is very useful and I will continue to use is for as long as I live because work is essential to live which I am ok with. I like knowing that I can get somewhere in life with grades and hard, honest work.

Tonight I will talk about my first car. I know I don't want a car but a truck instead. I have been looking now for a bit. I have been looking into as many vehicals as possible but have not really made a locking decision. Tonight i'm going to go look at a Dodge Dakota. i'm not a real big fan of them but if the offer is as good as it seems I may take it. I guess my main list would be Ford F-150's, F-250's or Chevy trucks. If I get one I will definantly get a 4X4. I figure its not really a truck unless it's 4X4 capable. I plan to get on the road soon and all I got to do is find a vehical.
YOUR WEBSITE SUCKS IT KEEPS DELETING MY COMMENT.
In the begining of this term my grades weren't to great. I was alomst failing all of my classes, but now that i've been putting forth more effort my grades have improved emenstly. I've been doing all of my homework and studying for all of my tests a quizes and it shows. My grades are all B's and one C and i am hoping that i can do better next year. I wish i would've been doing this good in the begining of this because then maybe i would have been able to go to home comming and had alot of fun with my friends. I realize now that im not stupid i'm just lazy.

For my free blog i am going to talk about how lucky we are to be born in the United States. If you think about it, we were born i would say the freest country in the world. Out of all the places we could have been born, we got lucky and were born in the United States. We were not born in Africa, born into a society of poverty and hunger. We were not born into China, where the goverment choses what job we have in the future, or controls much of our lifes. In the United States we have many freedoms that other people in other countrys dream about but never see in real life. I don't think people give our country enough credit, we estished a fair and high standard of living. Most people are too closet minded and only open their minds when it effects them directly. To sum it up i a happy about where i was born and wich others could expericence they same life we have in the United States.

Tonight I am going to talk about Sports center not talking about the tigers. We have been doing really well this season. We are in first place for American Leauge Central. But everytime I watch that show they are always talking about how A-Rod got a hit. Or the whole thing about Manny. YES we all know that the Dodgers are doing good with out him. Yes we know about how he is supended for 50 games. I just want the tigers to get some time too. I am so sick of the Dodgers and the Yankees and the White Sox. I am also sick of hearing about Joe Maur. We have a lot of good players on our team too. Like Cabera and Thomas and Inge. Inge never gets to play in the all star game. He is considered on of the best third base man in the American Leauge. But A-Rod always get to play. Please show some support for your team!!
Even though you said not to do a play by play of your weekend, I'm not going to, I'm going to write about a specific event. Saturday, I went to the St. Mary's fair with some friends, it was over priced, but fun. Near the end, my friends and I were standing by a ride, then all of a sudden, a rumble took place. At least, 5 guys were beating up and they were just going at it. After a few minutes the fight ended, and everyone went on with their business. However, a few minutes later, another fight took place, just 10 feet away from where we were standing. The second time, it looked like a dad was talking to the 5 kids who started the fight, and the kids just got so mad, and started punching him. Then a few more guys jumped in, and there was another fight. Luckily this time, the police came and arrested the 5 guys who started the fight. When we were leaving there was a ambulance and fire truck on it's way in. I later learned that some guy got stabbed in the eye, and ear, as well as later on there was a shoot out. I was appalled by this information, especially because it was at a Catholic fair, where there was little kids running around, and family gathering's. I did not, and still don't understand why there was so much violence in just three short days that it was open. I feel so greatfull, that I nor my friends were there to witness the shoot out, and the stabbing when we were at the fair. This conflict, really made me think twice about where I'm going, it makes me want to be extra careful, and stay close to the people I'm with.

Id like to free blog about finals. Is cramming for finals always the best? This is something i definately disagree on. Dont get my wrong, cramming will help, but the real studying should have already went on. Doing homework and studying for tests should be your real studying. Thats how you learn more, and get the most out of your work. Lastly, your studying should take place about a week or a few days before your final. This isnt something to do the day or night before and think you will do fine on your finals.
Mr.Kay,
For my blog tonight i want to talk about fears and phobias. This topic comes to mind because as i was waiting for my mom to pick me up form the library today i picked up a random book and it happened to be about fears and phobias. Basicly the book was about diffrent types of fears and types of disorders like an anxity disorder. I have alot of fears myself and i know it's a pretty commen thing for people to be affraid of stuff. As i was going through this book i read a part that talked about why people feared the things they do. It said there was really no reason and that sometimes phobias can be biological. I found that interesting because fears are usually a mind set and i thought it was pretty weird that your fears could be passed down in your family. Other then that the book also said you could fear things if you've had a bad experiance with them. Overall i learned a little about phobias today.

With the school year ending I am going to talk about finals. Everyone is getting excited for school to be over but not until you take your final exams. Everyone hates to think of it but you have to take them if you want to go onto college. I personally dont try hard enough to study and prepare for the exams. My goal for the end of the year is to study more than I have been and get decend grades for the exams. I know I have some classes that arent important as others to study for so I need to work on the more important ones. I already have started and I am doing good so I need to keep it up. These are my goals I want to accomplish before the end of the year.

Mr. Kay,
Today I think I will talk about my interest in art. Though I don't know much about famous artists and historical art, somehow, every photograph, painting, piece of music, film, any art moves me. I am really intrigued by it not only because I am so drawn to it, but because I am amazed by the fact that it moves me. That's sort of ironic isn't it. I am just amazed how such a silly little piece of music, or a picture, or a film can really affect someones life. They are always get reminded of that one thing, one person did whenever they see anything near it, and the way it is burned into your memory just blows my mind. I also find it interesting how you can really sit back and look at/watch/listen to something, and just lose yourself. You really start to think about everything that went into it. I also find it really cool how people can have such different tastes of art. See, some will like a piece of art while other hate it. The diversity is just so awesome. It just makes it fun for everyone. So I guess I am saying I am not only really interested in art, but I am interested in the interest of art and how it affects us, if that makes sense.

Well this weekend and today were very busy for me. First on saturday, my sister had her grad party. That was the coolest t6hing ever. I got to see all of my old friends from my old hockey team, but it was very tiring. Today was my sisters birthday. She turned 18. For her birthday dinner we went to Benihana's. That place is so cool. They cook the food right infront of you and it was awesome. The guy who cooked our food was sick at flipping the food and his spactulas. The only down side to the evening was that in cost over 100$ for the meal.

The pros and cons of driving. To tell the truth I'm not looking forward to getting my license. I do want to get it, but I'm just not really excited about it. After being in a car accident driving doesn't seem all that fun or important. Though getting my license is something that I want to do so that me and my friends can go on our road trip once we get out of highschool. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm just not sure about driving. Whenever I think of driving images of the car accident fly through my head. Even though I'm scared of driving I think I should so that I can get over it and not be scared whilst driving.

Mr. Kay,
Im going to write about our loss in tonights game. I have learned a lot through this terrible event. I learned that nothing in life is given to you. All season long we have been the favorites to go to states and contend to win it all. But that was not the case. It shows me that just when things are going good, things can change in a hurry. Also, I have seen seniors that I have been with for 3 years leave. It was a sad day overall. Most of these guys i will never see again. I have had a fun time playing ball this year and have met guys that have made baseball and place to relax and have fun with. This season has taught me a lot about life and how to carry yourself on and off of the feild.
For tonights blog i am going to talk about my weekend. Well on friday i went over to pats house like usuall. we had alot of fun. we hung out with alot of people.On saturday i went over to my friend shanda siscos house. We went to the fair. it was alot of fun. we meet alot of new people. we went on this one ride that sucked you to the wall. it was CRAZY! some girl feel off it was really fun. we went back to her house and went over to her boyfriends till 330 in the morning and had to walk back. it seemed like it took forever. on sunday we came home, and when my parents got home they suprised us. we went to go look at a candy red convertable mustang we drove it and everyhting but the people after us got it. i was so mad. on monday i went over to my cousins house and hung out there all day. o and today i almost forgot to send that web address to you and i read the blog at 755 and i started screaming and freaking out. but i got it sent in time (:
I'm extremely excited for summer, but I'm really going to miss people. Seeing friends everyday is the best part of school. The truth is that during the summer you lose contact with some people you were close to. There's also seeing people you don't know but find extremely amusing. Like you hear random stories that just make your day. Some senior was sitting in a lawn chair on top of his car on the last day for seniors. People like that just make my day. Today I went home with alanna to finish our project only to find this guy, your Andrew in 3 years, (Jake Shatzer)literally in Alanna's tree. Appariently he just got done peeing out of it which is a little wierd but still hilarious. When we leave high school we will leave all these random events behind.

i am going to talk about my friends for my free blog. Not just my frineds but friends in general. I think that you need your friends. If you dont have friends then i dont htink you would have anyone to go to when you need help with something. Well you still do but i think its easyer to tak to your friends about things then with your parents. My friends are always there for me when i need them. They never let me down. If i make a mistake they forgive me and still love me no matter what. Frineds are a verry important part of my life and i hope the friends i do have stay my friends forever. My friends are verry important to me.

Well for my free blog i am going to talk about tattoos. Yes i agree this is the most random thing but i will explain. Well from watching the NBA playoffs some of the players have just embassing and stupid tattoos. I mean if you get a tattoo it's not bad or anything just get of something meaningful. For example someone that died in your family or means a lot to you then its cool. However when you get stuff that just you think looks cool it ends up looking really dumb. A prime example is "Birdman" on the Denver Nuggets. I don't even knoe his real name but he has tattos up the waazoo, it is unreal. I really think he can't get anymore because he has so many, which is dumb because when he is older they are going to look amazingly bad. Last Udames Haslem for the Maimi Heat got a tattoo of the state of Florida all up and down his back. I am going to laugh if he gets traded because then there is really no point at all. Plus who is really going to see that, that often. In the end tattoos are pointless unless they mean something.

Im going to talk about the simple things in life. I love when its sunny and warm out, it puts me in a good mood. I find that my day usually goes along with the weather. I love the sights and smells of summer. Summer sights include the trees, the lake, and the sky. The trees are green and vast while the sky is blue without clouds blanketed across it. When I walk out to the bus, I always look out across the lake and see the sun skimming across the top of its surface. I love the smell of burning leaves and fresh cut grass. The burning leaves always remind me of summer. I love seeing the bass jump out of the water in the morning.

Summer. I honestly cant wait. This summer is going to be so much fun. I get my license, i can drive, i can do wat i want. Hanging out with my friends and skateboarding will be my hobbies once again. I am gonna play tennis during the summer and stay out of trouble. Ill be hanging out with my girlfriend everyday it will be sweet. just not having to wake up every morning bright and early will be and always is amazing. I'm going to get a job and buy a car and be more like an adult.

I have very exciting news from this weekend.. i got a fish! actually nick won me four fish at the st. mary's fair but they all died by the est morning. I named them bin, mou, hitler, and obama. anyways after they died i got a beta fish and named him Rusty from the main character in S.E. Hinton's novel rumble fish. After these encounters with various fish it made me realize something. How people confide in their pets. I know i tell my cat everything and when im having a bad day i cant count on her to cheer me up. and i think the most important thing about animals is that they cant be judgmental. no matter what you do you know there will be someone their for you after stupid mistakes. But then i kind of starting thinking its extremely sad that we have to count on animals to be there for us.

There are advantages and disadvantages to summer. Some disadvantages of summer are that it never seems long enough. Another disadvantage is that you lose a good portion of the knowledge that was learned during school. When summer is coming it is harder to keep your mind on your schoolwork and finals. The advantages of summer are that you get to sleep in and stay up later. Everyone can hang out with their friends more often without homework to hinder you. Summer brings the chances to just chill and soak up some sun.

Today I'm going to talk about being part of a team. I'm on the lacrosse team and its lakeland and milford combined. I've tried a lot of sports but never really stuck with any of them so i've never really gotten to bond with people. Being in lacrosse is great though because i've gotten really close with a lot of people that i would normally never get the chance to know. I was on jv for the season but then got moved up to varsity for playoffs. It was sad because a lot of my friends seasons were over but it was happy because i got to play with varsity and become friends with a lot of them. the relationships that are formed on a team are really good because you have to trust and have each others backs on the field and support during practices and just have fun. I'm really happy I did lacrosse and happy that we keep winning in the playoffs so I can keep doing it.
For my free blog, I will talk about getting older. First of all, getting older cool because we get to drive and all that good stuff. Although there are many good things that come with growing up, there are a couple of bad things as well. For example, as you get older, there is way more responsibility. When we were little, everything was so care free and easy. parents took care of everything for you, made you food, did the laundry, etc. Now that we are older we have to do all that stuff on our own (Well besides dinner). Another thing that is kind of bad is getting a job. Its good in a sense because it teaches us responibility, helps us get used to the real world, and we make money, but its abd because its more RESPONSIBILITY. But overall, I like being older because you have more freedom.

I will not rant on about what I did this weekend, but instead I will talk about my lacrosse game on Friday. As some of you know, we are a Lakeland and Milford combined team. On Friday we travelled into downtown Detroit to play university of Detroit jesuit. They are ranked something like 4th in the state and we ended up losing 22-2. Inthe first half we were not the game at all, so we let the score slip away. It was 17-0 at the half, however I think we all though the game was over before it began. However in the second half, we ended up doing better and ended it 5-2 with the final score being 22-2. I scored one of our two goals, and I was really proud of myself for scoring on such a good team. It felt really good. Anyways now he season is over. I encourage everyone to come out and watch a get next year. It's really fun to watch.

For my free blog I am going to talk about my weekend and the things I like to do. I did some fishing this week end and has an ok time fishin. The first day I went out I got skunked and diddn't catch anything. I was really pissed at that. The next time I went I caught a walie and my dad diddn't catch that much. He usally beats me in the fishing count but that day I beat him. I also cought some nice bass. this weekend I diddn't go to the fair. I wanted to but never got around to it or diddn't have the time. I was planning on going sunday but had to go to my cosins. They were having a going away party because they are moving to Chicago. I gona miss them a bit but hope they have a fun time. My weekend I thought was pretty good and fun.

Today for the free blog I'm going to talk about Graduation. It is sad that these valued members of the school are leaving. I have thought about what graduation really means to me. I am really looking forward to Graduation myself. I see it as a new beginning, filed with new challenges and responsibilities. The whole step into in college is both exciting and nerve racking at the same time. I am excited to learn and get my Degree in Computer Sciences and Computer Engineering. However, I do know that by the time I graduate, that I will be well prepared for the rough road ahead into college and that I will be alright living on my own. i hope to make these last 2 years at Lakeland memorable. I hope to learn as much as I can academically and about life. I thank you for being harder than the rest of the teachers, and am hoping to learn more from you in the next 2 years.

I'm not sure to explain how I am a enlightened human being. I'm going to start with things I enjoyed about the school year. First I enjoyed being with people I knew and meeting new people.I also enjoyed being in your class because of the way you teach. Unlike other teachers you don't just hand out busy work just so we have something to do. You give projects most of the time but they have a meaning behind them also. I didn't enjoy other teachers as well because they also didn't have a sense of humor. I also disliked the amount of notes in Mr.Mhores but I think it helped us learn the subject better. He read the notes off to us so that would help audio learners and then we had to take notes so that would help visual learners and it was worth a grade so it gave you a reason to do it.

For my free blog I am going to talk about how fast high school goes by. People say that it goes by really quick. But, I didn't really believe that. I thought that the four years would go by really slow. But thinking back now, its gone by pretty fast the past two years. Seeing all the seniors leave makes me think about in two years that will be us leaving high school and going off to college. It feels like just yesterday I was walking into school as a freshman on the first day of school, afraid I was going to get lost. Since the first two years have gone by so fast, I can only imagine how fast the next two are going to go by.

For my free blog today, I am going to write about finals and our class speeches. This time of the year is where I get stressed out the most. It always feels like I have too much to do, and never enough time. I procrastinate, and usually end up studying for finals the weekend before. Every time I tell myself that I am going to study beforehand, and I end up not doing it anyway. I think that will be one of my main goals for the next school year. I will feel a lot more confident during finals if I do so, because I wont be worrying about remembering everything that I learned the night before. Secondly, I am kind of nervous for the speaking projects, because I don't handle speaking in front of an audience. I really don't know what gets me so nervous, but once I get up to the podium, I completely forget what I am going to say. I hope that by doing these speeches I can grow more accustomed to speaking in front of people because it is going to be something I am going to have to do for the rest of my life. I don't want to constantly dread speaking in front of people forever.
in my free blog im going to talk about memorial weekend. This memorial weekend i went to a place called sandy pines. With one of my buddy's hunter white. It was pretty cool going up north for the weekend. I went golfing and did pretty well i thought. But the mosquitoes were horrible. I had at least a million bug bite from the weekend. i went swimming with some people. and we also rode around a lot on golf carts going to tons of places.
There are many things that make me an enlightened human being. As the school year is ending I reflect on all I have accomplished this year. One of the most important accomplishments of this year was keeping my grade point up. This was a very hard task and all of my hard work has paid off. History is one of my favorite subjects and I have learned a lot about the wars and U.S. history. I have seen an improvement in my writing skills and hopefully writing an essay will come easier. Finals are coming up and that means a lot of studying. I have learned that taking pride in my work makes me appreciate the grades that I have earned. High school is going by pretty fast. I will be a junior and my sister is already a senior in college. My parents and sister have encouraged me and I appreciate all they have done for me.
last week my soccer season ended. our jv had the best record at lakeland in 10 years. we had one loss!! i also feel that i improved a ton and i really enjoyed playing every minute. i had so much fun on the team this year. last year i wasn't friends with that many girls on the team but this year we all had so much fun. team dinners we always the best and everyone could never stop laughing. im going to miss hanging out with them everyday at practice but i made some really good friends and i know i will still see them a lot. now i am going to have a lot of free time so i am going to focus on my grades and getting ready for finals. i was also going to say something about the "every 15 minutes." as you know i " died" that friday and it was something interesting to experience. for kids who actually took it seriously it meant something. my friend brooke shares a locker with me and when i came up to it and my face was painted and i ignored her she started to cry. i felt really bad but i couldnt do anything about it. two of my really good friends who always talk to me in between classes walked up to me but i couldnt talk to them so they just left and said sorry but i couldnt say anything and i didnt know where to go. i think it was really made some people think and i thought it was a good idea whoever thought to do it.
Tonight i am going to do my blog on how people should learn how to control their anger. So many people take there anger out on different things. But they dont realise that they're hurting not only the person. They're hurting themselves. Some people take it out by punching things. Then they end up hurting themselves. Or they do it by yelling at soemone or venting about someone. I dont think its right. People need to learn how to control their anger. I myself do to. We dont realize what were doing untill after. theres so many other ways to take your anger then to hurt someone or yourself.
Today im talking about....
Something that really pisses me off is the people that have everything handed to them. Cars money thing they need or want when they didnt do shit to get it in the first place or deserve it. Like for ex. Your getting your licence soon and you need a car, your parents go right out and buy it for you and you do nothing to even deserve it. You didnt work, your not going to pay your parents bac, dont pay for gas, or the insurence. If you cant do any of that you dont deserve a car. Same with other things. like ipods, snowboards, dirt bikes. Stuff like that. Well what i guess im trying to say is i dont like stuck up people. I hate them despise them. I cant stand them
Well this weekend was pretty sweet, But for the most part I just chilled with my friends. This weekend I went tubing on my friends boat. It was a lot of fun and my arms hurt really bad now. Being around the water and the sun gave me a really bad case of summer. This weekend felt like it was already summer and it was really hard to role out of bed this morning. Hanging with my friends was also sweet. I rode in Conners Jeep and we took off the doors and it was nice to feel the breeze. But the most memorable part of the weekend was seeing Jordan's reaction to conners naked ass next to him on the tube. I almost peed my self i laughed so hard. I need to get my mind back on school so i can finish the school year strong. However I am really pumped for the summer and hope these last couple of weeks fly by.

for my free blog i am going to talk about something that I've always wanted to do. ever since i got to lakeland i wanted to play paintball in the school. i think that it would be so perfect. two teams, terrorists, and counter terrorists and one flag. the flag represents a bomb, and counter terrorists have to get the flag witch is hidden in a random classroom. and the terrorists have to try to stop the counter terrorists from capturing it and then hiding it becoming the terrorists. i think that this idea would be the best day of school day ever. but again the school board would never approve it because they are a bunch of stuck up people that have on fun.
I was reading articles on CNN today and one in particular was just plain out SICK. A woman threw her 2 kids off a bridge at night. One was 4 and the oher 7. The 7 year old lived but the 4 year old didnt. The mother then tried o jump off a 9 story building, but the police caught her before she jumped. What kind of sick person could do this? The poor kids..especially the little boy that died. This shows how much bad stuff really goes on around us. Im thankful that i have a family that cares about me, and that will always love me. The girl that survived now has to live with a life without a mother, and knowing that her mother didnt care. I know this was more of a current event...but i thought it was something that i could talk about.

For my free blog, I am going to talk about lying. My dad had his headphones for his iPod taken from him last week and he knew one of us kids had them. When he asked us, my brother and I both had black headphones, so we were basically in the clear. My sister had white headphones like my dad, but she claimed to not have taken them. I finally realized this morning that her white headphones had broken a long time ago, and she had even taken a pair of my headphones and broke them too. Everyone in the family knew she had done it, and my dad was really mad at her, especially because he had asked so many times. If she had simply asked if she could borrow them, he might have let her use them for a couple days, but she chose to take them and lie. From this story, you can tell lying gets you nowhere. It always seems that when you lie, the saying of, “What goes around, comes around” comes to play. Now my sister has hurt her trust with my dad, and he probably won’t be letting her borrow his headphones anytime soon. I know telling the truth is always your best option, because the longer you keep a lie going, the larger consequence you will feel in the end.

I am going to write about Chris Anderson AKA Birdman from Denver. He is a bench player that gets limited minutes and isn't considered an offensive threat. The good think about anderson is that he is one of the hardest workers once he gets on the court. This shows the importance of hard work. Of course he is probably going to play in the NBA because he is 6'10 and athletic. The thing is that anderson gets his playing time from being a hard worker. Last game against the Lakers, Chris had a huge block and an even bigger dunk. He was considered a major contributer that game. If you were to look at the stats it would appear as if he didn't do anything. The reason he was a big part of the game is because of the hustle plays he made. Every team needs a player like Chris Anderson because they bring energy and enthusiasm to the game.
And HELLL yeah ORLANDO!!!
Enlightened Human Being…
so your finally stating it that way. its just interesting.
I was reading something in Discover magazine, cause i was kinda occupied in the car, so i might have well been doing something productive. Anyways, i ran across an article, which stated that the internet may not be with us forever, which seems interesting, considering that it’s a near integrated part of many peoples lives. i mean, way past our lifetime it might die, but the idea of something that we find so useful, and integral to our daily lives, will be null and void at one point.
It even went on to state that we as Human Beings, may not be around in 7 million years. now, that’s a long way off, but think about it, the earth is 4.6 billion years old, and the universe about 13 billion years old as well. so, its not a really long time, in the grand scale of things. its interesting, because, what would happen? would we evolve? would we go extinct? to our own faults might I add? or will something unstoppable hit this seemingly unmovable object? Kinda scary. No, more like WTF SCARY. to think, that we will be nothing but in the history books of 1 species, or, maybe even forgotten. Nothing noticeable from our era, our generation. I think that we should build a time capsule, as big as a bunker, and put many memorable things in it, and one day, hopefully, something will stumble upon it, upon us, and just hope that it can understand us.
i think i might be looking to far ahead, on to big of a time scale, but if i don't worry about it, what would make life interesting? reality TV? pardon me, but fuck that. live life, don't watch it. and we need to learn to live with what we are, and accept the many things of life. sometime, it’s the fact that there are cooler people than us, but hey, why let that sop us?
Why support political correctness? why not support open mindedness? It bugs me that some people have to be so uptight about their integral part of their life, like family, living status, and religion?
I would love to state the fact that i have an alright family, and although i know we all have our share of problems, we still love each other, even when we want to strangle each other. and about living conditions, not many know, but my father is presently unemployed, and as much as it hurts me seeing him be out of work, not doing something that he loves, i know he has a good plan. a way to fix it.
And that damned thing we call religion, that is so sacred, to so many, and so open to so few.
In my belief, i disregard the bible, but i accept the fact that there is a higher power, wether it likes us or not.
i disregard the bible, because it is just a story to me, and if you want to believe in your stories, fine, but i will believe in mine. technically, that’s acceptable, or at least should be. But, hell, why mess with something, when so many people like it, and would not like to be disturbed? Because we need to break the molds, start new habits, and bring upon a new beginning. we need to create ourselves, we need to define who we are as a generation, as an era; and most importantly, as a species.
So its come full circle.
We need to define ourselves as a species, wether its from a grand perspective, or from every individual point of view. We need to create ourselves, for what is to un-become. we must set ourselves in something harder than diamonds, so we will be remembered for infinity, and then, we can all look back, and see ourselves, ad the grand perspective; then commenting to our neighbor, noting that we helped it become that way. And we need to make due with what we have now, and take advantage of it, because tomorrow, or in a month, or a year; even a lifetime; or in many a many light years from now, it wont be here. so be complacent with yourself.
Good Night.
So To All, Live Long And Mentally Prosper.

"Its just a thought, but where did it come from? what do they do with it, if it comes back?"…
I'd like to talk about the "ambition" today. In my own country, what most of the people are sick of is the fixed obsession that everyone has to study hard, and get a stable job. In reality, whole bunch of the kids over there study as hard as they do here to get GPA 8.0 in IA. But not many of them have dreams. They're, by the ambiance of economic recession, forced to look for only the safe jobs, such as governmental officers. In the past, when Korea was one of the poorest countries, they worked hard to improve the world which their descendants will live in. And now, they're toiling to death to keep what they'd done. That is one of the reasons I came to America. The society which people are not judged by their GPAs. I've seen some, so called, dumbshit head kids here. Even though I don't really have a way to see if their heads are consisting of merely junks, anyway, I liked it. I liked how confident they could be and doing what they want. At least I was glad that I could breathe in here. Nevertheless, however, I still couldn't see many of big ambitions. Blaming on American ways of educating kids or whatever, many of them are just being nuts, and thinking they can keep their lives working at McDonald's. In this comment, I'm not meaning to offend anybody. 'Cause I couldn't find the cause of them being like that on themselves, but in the society's system. As I finish this full of arrogance, I'd like to quote a famous saying of Winston Churchil. "Boys, (let's) be ambitious!"
For today i guess ill talk about pressure. I think its something we all expirence. Its how we deal with it thats key. Its who is gonna come through when times are tense and somebody needs you to come through. This is not just in sports but also in life. Youre boss may need a great presentation or you will be fired. You need to relax and think of how you have done this your whole life. Taking deep breathes always helps me relax. I think their is actually no such thing but actually we make up pressure in our head.

Sorry its late.... yes i am an idiot
When I think about my strengths and weaknesses, I think about my creativity and my ability to too easily stress myself out. I believe my strength is my imagination. I love to draw and paint and to be imaginative is an important asset when it comes to art. I think my weakness also helps me for when I am writing because I can always create good plots and story lines. I believe my weakness is how easily I can be stressed out. The tiniest thing can trigger it. Fortunately I have learned to control it and to just take a deep breath so I can regroup my self. This way I can gather my thoughts and fully think out my next move. So I would say that even though my high anxiety can be trouble some, I can always turn it around into a calm situation where I can regain my creativity.
P.s. I wanted to ask if the reason I lost 5 points on day 3 was because it was an hour late? If it was, it was only because there was an issue at my house and I had to go stay with my dad and he did not have a computer so I had to wait till he got off of work to take me home on sunday to get to a computer...and yes I tried the library but it wasn't open. Anyway, that would be the explanation for my tardiness. Hopefully I can get those points but if I can't, I understand.
