The clock winked...

The clock winked at me, then time stopped. It was straight out of a dream. I have no idea what is happen and am so confused. The clock must be magic, the only thing that could move, was me. I didn't know what to do, I was baffled. It was a movie, I don't know how else to describe it, I was all alone, no one to talk to, no one to hear me. I decided I had to make this stop in time fun. I found the fastest car I could and started racing through the streets of all the cities I could make it to. I was flying and no one could stop me. I wasn't sure how long this would last, but I was hoping it would last a very very long time. It felt like I was in a dream.

Spring Break

Over spring break I went to Montana. We went to Big Sky Resort and snowboarded for three days. On the first day we got there it had snowed overnight so there was a little bit of snow on the ground which made it fun because there was some powder. On the second day of snowboarding it snowed quite a bit overnight and all throughout the day, but it was very windy. In some spots on the hill we were in knee deep snow and in the woods off the trails there was even more snow. One of the people I was with and I got stuck in the woods so we had to unstrap and crawl out. If we tried to walk we would sink in the snow to our waist. On the third day it was beautiful weather, it was very sunny and was a good temperature so we decided to go up to the peak, the best part of the peak was that because the day before It was so windy, all the snow got blown to that side of the mountain and in spots where no one had already been the snow was mid thigh high. The view was breath taking from the top. It looked like you could see forever because it is the highest peak around that area. Overall my spring break was a lot of fun.

A spoon

The water is drowning me. It splashes me all the time. The soap cleans me. Thats just the rinse cycle! Thats my favorite opart even though it is very scary. Thy drying cycle is the worst. It is so hot and I almost burn everytime. I feel like if I got one degree warmer I would burst into flames. It gets ridiculously hot and I hate it. I dred going into the dishwasher because of the drying cycle. But after that is done and I get unloaded and put back into my home all squeaky clean, its all worth it.

Invention for Mankind

If I could invent one thing to help mankind, I would invent a system that captures pollution. I would do this so we wouldn't have to worry about global warning and the ice caps melting. Right now it would also help with capturing the radiation in Japan so people wouldn't be egffected by it. I do not know how this would work at all! But it would.

I wish someone had told me...

I wish someone had told me that speaking your opinion and standing up for yourself is better than sitting in the shadows and letting other people make decisions. It would have been nice to know so I would have been a better decision maker and it probably would have helped with my confidence. When you stand up for yourself, or make decisions it makes you feel better and it makes people realize that you are not just someone to mess with. Also, if you stand up for what you want to do, and end up doing it, you'll have more fun than if you were just going along with the crowd and conforming. If you stand up for yourself you build character, you may stand out more than if you conform, but you are become a more unique person, instead of being like everyone else.

Science Fiction Brainstorm

Space ships
Living on the moon
Living on mars
Hover cars
Teleporting
The people dress in speed racer clothes and like robots
No one drives, if they dont want to, hover cars drive themselves

The shoe car

So, I made this car. It looks like a shoe. Its the best vehicle in the world. Everyone stops and stares when they see me going down the street. It goes a total speed of like 50 miles per hour, which is plenty for rolling around on the city streets. I haven't been pulled over for driving it yet, I don't know if I ever will or not, it doesn't matter either way. I'm pretty sure it is street legal. It also markets my company, its a shoe company, go figure. They are the best shoes ever made!  I would suggest that you buy them, the brand is called, A Little Shoe!

My Journey on a Pirate Ship

My best friend, my brother, his friend, and I have been captured by pirates. They came to my house and captured the four of us. Now we are on the ship in the middle of some big water somewhere in the world. They locked us away in the jail on the bottom of the ship. Eve though we have been captured by the pirates, we are still having fun and making jokes, but the pirates are getting mad because of it. We don't know what to do so when the watch pirate leaves the keys behind on accident, we take them, open the cell door, and go hide by all the cannons they have. When the pirate that left comes back, he notices and doesn't want to have to walk the plank so he starts looking all over for us, but can't find us. He goes to the opening in the ship where a cannon would stick out, and jumps off the ship so he doesn't get in trouble with the captain. Next we find some sweet pirate clothes so we dress up in them, go to the top and meander around trying to figure out where we are, but can't figure it out. So we pretend like we know what we are doing so they won't catch on that we aren't real pirates. After awhile we are figuring out how everything works and we enjoy the pirate life, so we all decided to become pirates, and we take the ship over and get a new crew for ourselves.

Big Rabbit

This rabbit was found in a man's backyard. He can't hope like most rabbits can, he walks like a dog. The only reason he was in the backyard was because he walked in there to find something to eat, but once he got there, he was tired so he had to take a nap. Some kids were going back to play in the yard when they realized that the rabbit was there, they told their dad and he picked up the rabbit, put it in the back of the truck and sped to the zoo because he thought this thing should be showed to the world. At the zoo the zoo keeper holding the animal in the picture couldn't believe his eyes and decided to make this a main attraction in the middle of the zoo. The big  rabbit gets everything a rabbit would want , and a lot of attention from the guests. Its living a life of luxury.

Fictional Character

Scooby Doo without Scooby snacks. I think if he didn't have Scooby snacks he would turn into a normal dog. He wouldn't be able to talk, or run super fast anymore. Without Scooby snacks "Scooby Doo" wouldn't be a show anymore. Their would be no Mystery Machine or gang, he would just be a normal dog with a normal dog life. He maybe would be best buds with Shaggy still but only if Shaggy owned him. Their would be a lot more food for people because he wouldn't be able to eat it all with Shaggy. The world would be less happy if Scooby snacks disappeared because Scooby brings humor and happiness to many people, adults and children alike. One of my all time favorite shows would never have existed because I think the Scooby snacks give Scooby the courage to go find the ghosts and catch the bad guys!

Lyrics assignment

Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles

1. I chose this song because it is a catchy song and I believe in what the lyrics say.

2. The story is thats it has been a long winter and the sun is finally coming out.
3. I do not think that there is a structure.

4. The song is a happy song and it is a sounds like it may be a relief the sun is out now.

5. The message would be that no matter what, the sun will come up eventually.

6. The intention is to make people in a better mood or to remind people things will get better eventually.

Stack of paper

The stack of paper is falling toward the shredder. All the paper thinks the same, all wondering what will happen, if they will ever be put together again, if it will hurt. The blades are twisting ready to cut and shred the paper to little pieces. The papers start to worry wondering if something will save them from their demise, it looks like nothing will, each one separately says their good byes. They begin to feel the wind created by the twisting blades. They brace themselves for the shredding to begin. All of a sudden they blades start getting farther away and start slowing down. All of the papers start to wonder why this was happening. The hand that was holding them slowly moves toward the table where they originally came from. All the papers yell and scream in relief that they are moving away from the shredder and are going to be together for at least a little longer. The hand slowly moves toward the table and gently sets them down where they were once before in the drawer labeled "bills".

Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi met on his first day of work...

Marian Bartsch and Joey Catsalgi met on his first day of work and they didn't know each other. Most days they worked together were very slow. The two would talk the whole time at work and got to know each other and would eventually become best friends. They talked about their past, the future, the present, and anything that would pass the time to make work go by faster. Marian had been through a lot more than Joey had been as a little kid and Joey would encounter some of the thing Marian had already gone through. Whenever something happened the first person they would tell, was each other, they didn't care when it was, at work or outside of work. One day Joey didn't show up to work when he was suppose to so, which he never has done before, Marian knew something was wrong, he called Joey and no one answered. Marian asked one of the people that was working in the morning to stay so he could go see if something was wrong with Joey, Marian sped over to Joey's house but he wasn't there. Then, Marian took the route Joey would use to go to work, the road was icy and snowy that day, he saw tire tracks going off the road. When he looked to see if a car was down in the ditch he saw Joey's car upside down. The first thing he did was call 9-1-1. They rescue squad got there and managed to pull the badly injury person out of the car, he was going to be okay thanks to his best friend.

End of poetry unit

Poetry unit is over.
I am kinda sad,
Writing these have grown on me,
The structures make it fun.
Free writing poems are tough,
Rhyming is the best.
Villanelles are the toughest,
Sonnets are up there.
Assonance was the best.
Writing poems is not too bad,
I'm kinda starting to like it.
This unit is over.
It makes me sad.

Villanelle Poem

I need to take a pill.
My head feels so light.
I feel so ill.

Now I have a chill,
This doesn't feel right.
Where is the pill?

How long till,
I regain my sight?
I've never been this ill.

Everything is feeling still.
I have to keep up the fight.
No one has this pill.

The darkness is starting to fill.
All of the fright.
Why am I so ill?

This isn't a thrill.
What will happen later tonight?
Without this pill,
I've become so ill.

If I was going to die tomorrow....

If I was going to die tomorrow and I had unlimited resources, I would make my last day alive the best day. I would say good bye to all of my family and friends. Then I would go buy a crotch rocket because I have always wanted one and I would try to go as fast as I possibly could on it. I would also go buy a super fast car, like a Lamborghini and go through the city to see how many people would stare at me in the car and take pictures. I would travel to Europe because someday I want to go there and I would look at all the cool places and I would definitely go visit Germany because, even though I just started learning the language, I like it a lot and catch on to it fast. I would also try to do everything that I would never do in my life because it would be risking my life. I mean I'm going to die anyway, so it would be pointless to "play it safe". I would go sky diving and bungee jumping. I would try to race a rally car in the desert or somewhere where I wouldn't be able to completely destroy the wilderness, and the car if I was to crash. That is what I would do if I was going to die tomorrow.

Etheree Poem

Cold,
winter,
night is here,
wind blowing strong,
fresh air thru my lungs,
walking along the road,
I am numbing all around,
cars speeding by me like nothing,
I am stranded by myself tonight,
only if someone would help me one time.

How ridiculous I was as a...

How ridiculous I was as a young fellow. I always was playing in the rain, I would get drenched. Whenever I would go bounce on a trampoline  Iwould always see how many times I could twist around and usually I would fall on my back or my face. In elementary school I always was the goofy kid that made people laugh. Around my family I was always silly and would make fun of my uncles, aunts, cousins, and my parents. I remember once, my family went down to Florida and we went to Sea World for a full day and we saw everything that was there. The next day we went to the beach and I was worried that a shark, octopus, or a big fish was going to attack me and take me under water and never let me come back up. I also really wanted to see an alligator on the side of the road, in a pond off the road, or in the pool behind the house we stayed at. I would have been scared if one was back there though.

Changing the world

I would have a similar government to what the United States has, but I would make sure that my world would not go into huge debt like the United States. I would give the citizens set taxes so they didn't have to worry about taxes being raised all of the time. The people would elect others to run the world. I would also make sure everyone had a place to live and a job, the pay for those would vary. No one business would be much better than the next, they would all be close to equal with the products they made. Cars would be fuel efficient, and hopefully gas prices would be a little lower than it is right now. The people in the world would vote to make the big decisions that would affect everyone, this is so everyone has a say in what they want and the smaller choices would be decided by the elected government. College would be affordable and the people that knew what they wanted to do would only go to classes and schools for that particular thing, this is so the jobs people did was what they liked to do and they would be very good at it so everything would run more smooth and quickly. For the most part the world would be very equal. It would also be peaceful without war.
