Most Horrifying Time of the Year!

My favorite Halloween memory is from two years ago. If you don't already know, me and my parents go all out for Halloween. I knew that that this particular year would be great because there was no distraction like a football game. We covered the porch with black fabric and I stood behind there waiting to scare people. As soon as someone came to the door, I would reach my hand out and lightly touch their shoulder. One person in particular made the night completely hilarious. A teenage girl came walking around the corner. She wasn't in any costume so I knew I had to get her. I sent a text to my mom and told her to turn out the front porch light as soon as the girl stepped on the welcome mat. The lights finally went out and I slowly extended my arms through a hole in the fabric. At the last second she turned and saw the mysterious object reaching at her and jumped against the brick wall behind her. She got up and I came out from behind the hiding place even though I wasn't wearing a costume she was still scared and took of running down the street.


It was just a regular library, but when night strikes, it becomes alive and extremely spooky. Three girls came for research and stayed overtime. When midnight approached, the girls had no intention of researching anymore because they soon discovered that there was no way out. The books started screaming loudly and the girls were petrified. When they turned around, the third girl was hung from a tree and we saw the blood streaming down her head! It was too scary to watch. We soon split up to find an exit, but when I turned to show my friend that the book was alive, I saw her dead with a stabbed back! I was the only survivor and it was only a matter of time before they would kill me. I quickly turned around and I saw, aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Why are teachers so excited during Halloween parties?
Because there's so much spirit!!! 

What did the really ugly man do for a living?
 He was a mask model!!!

A boy walked in to a Halloween Party wearing a sheet on his head.
"Are you a ghost," his friends asked.
"No, I'm and unmade bed!!!"

A Fortune Left Behind

I once heard the statement,"We are all one small adjustment away from being a great success." This makes me wonder what adjustment will make me a legend, or what chance I have already missed out on.When I finally kick the bucket here in about ninety or so years, I hope that I will be remembered by all my peers. I hope to have not only been a good friend but also a good father and boss. After I die, I hope to leave my family enough money to never have to work again. But, no matter what I do or how long it takes me I hope I leave my mark on this world. 

Noodles, Noodles, Noodles

One of my favorite foods is Creamy Chicken Ramen Noodles. The way I make them is to cook the noodles and add a little bit of milk and about a spoon full of butter. I remember a specific day when I was at home nearly starving to death. I put the noodles in a bowl and boiled them in scorching hot water. When the noodles texture became soft and moist, I started to pour in the the milk. After gently stirring the mixture of noodles, flavoring, milk, and butter. I sat down at the table and began to eat. After one bite the dank taste filled my mouth and sank down through my stomach. What usually was an appetizing meal turned into another example of a laxative. I swallowed that bite afraid to spit it out on my computer. I poured the rest of the bowl out in the sink and saw little milk chunks rolling down the drain. After smelling the milk in the fridge I knew it was rotten and spoiled.

The Beauty of Music

Music has one of the greatest effects on today's world. With so many styles of music there is no one left out. I listen to a few different types of music. My parents raised me to enjoy the classics such as AC/DC, Guns & Roses, and Journey. It wasn't until I was about ten or eleven years old that I started experimenting with other styles. Today on my Ipod you will find a medley of classical rock, hip hop, 21st Century Rap, and a little bit of country. I get bored with one type of music very easily so I have to keep a variety just to stay entertained. My favorite artist is Matthew Morrison, because his music speaks to you and always has a certain story to it. Speaking of Matthew Morrison, he wrote one of my favorite songs "Still Got Tonight." As for my least favorite song, I really don't have one. All music is unique and entertaining in its different ways. Most of the time my music selection is basically chosen off how I feel. My parents listen mostly to different country bands, and different Broadway Tunes that I have never heard before. I approve of their music because it is their choice which music they listen to. I have no say in what they enjoy.

Evolution of Television

Whether people enjoy it or not, television has evolved into something new. Statements that used to be frowned upon ten or twenty years ago are now being flaunted around as common slang. But let's face it, America, just like a student in a classroom, gets bored from time to time and it is up to prime time entertainment to get us excited again. I remember sitting on my couch watching the Emmys with my parents. The centerpiece music performance by Lonely Island and a list of guest appearances was a little short of what we would call "appropriate." The medley of Akon's "I Just Had Sex" and Lonely Island's "It's Not Gay In A Three Way" was a crowd favorite but was utterly inappropriate. Is it bad that you can't even let your young aged children watch television any without picking out a slang term? Television has to keep up with the pace of an average high school when it comes to comedy, and with drama series, you have to take that extra step to attract more fans. Television producers have to do what they have to do to make money. Sure, I don't always agree with what they choose. But that's not my choice. I remember hearing a comedian once say, "I'm not going to guess what your personal line of decency is, I cross my own from time to time. It's how I know I still have one."

The Flag That Still Flies

This flag was found at ground zero in New York City after the 9/11 attacks. The next night the New York Yankees were given permission to fly this flag during game three of the World Series. I saw this flag as a sign of hope because it symbolizes the fact that you can attack us. But, like this flag, we will always find different places to hold together this country and rebuild. The story of the flag continues. The Yankees went on to win the World Series in game seven, giving the city hope to rebuild after the tragedy.

My Favorite Activities

Aside from school and homework, there are many activities I participate in to make my day more exciting or just to make it go by faster. One of my main hobbies is playing the quads in the band. Even though it looks fun and easy there is always a challenge around the corner. It is also a great stress release when you are having a bad day. Another hobby of mine is playing sports outside and at the WAC. During the winter at least once or twice a week my friends and I drive out to the baseball field and play a game until it either gets too late or too cold. My third favorite hobby is eating. I enjoy trying new foods and new styles of foods.
