The perfect job


In my head when I think of the greatest thing ever to do, I think skate. Even though I'm not the best skater or anything I think it's the highlight of my day when get home and have like 5 five hours of free time to just go were ever my board can take me. So I thought it would be cool to do something I love and get payed doing it so I thought a sponsored skate boarder would be so sublime, It's not like it's gonna happen but everybody starts some where. Besides I feel like a desk job would be the worst job ever after seeing Office Space.

The Perfect...

The perfect cheeseburger with buns, lettuce, meat, cheese, and some ketchup. With the buns lightly toasted and Heinz ketchup spread on the bun. The cheese is an essential part to the perfection. I would put a slice of cheddar- mozzarella cheese which is real good also on a quesadilla. Also, the meat would be medium well and with the heat the cheese would melt just right.

The Perfect Day!

The perfect day for me would be crazy.Everything would have to go my way.I'd have to be happy the whole day and nothing would hurt me physacally or mentally.I'm going to show step by step of what my perfect day would be like.

My perfect day has to be in the summer with no school becuase I hate school.So when I wake up it would be sunny and hot.The perfect time to wake up would be at ten o'clock.Breakfast would be waffels ,pancakes,eggs,bacon and suasage,gritts or oatmeal that my mom makes,and fresh milk.

Then I would  go swimming with my friends and win all the games that we play such as colors ,marco polo,and tag team races.After swimming I'd hop in that hot shower for a good 30 minutes while my family is barbequeing.Right when I get out the shower ,the plate filled with hot links,ribs,and barbeque chicken is already waiting for me.All I have to do is get a ice cold sprite out the cooler.

When it starts to get dark,I get on Modern Warfare 3 and go ham.I'd play about 15 matches online.And in all those matches I never get lower then a ten point zero kill death ratio.To raise my  K.D to  2.03.Then after,order some pepperonni pizza with some hot wings.Thats a perfect day for me.

Perfection

The Perfect Freshman basketball stat average for me would consist of a few key things.
Points: I would like to average 14-20 points a game to show that I can score easily and make buckets.
Assists: Since i want to play the Point Guard position I want to have at least 5-7 assists a game so i can get my team involved and show that i can lead my team.
Rebounds: I also want to be a strong Point guard I am already lifting weights in preparation. I want to have 2-3 rebounds.
Steals: I want to be equally as good in defense as I am in offense. So i want to average 3 steals a game so I can irritate offenses.
I don't really have to average blocks but if I do then that'll just help me out as a player. When i get to High school im going to try my hardest to achieve my goals and become as good as i can be.

The Perfect Friend

A perfect friend is like your own personal star. You don't always see them but you know there always going to be there. Through thick and thin no matter what they stick by your side. They won't let anyone or anything get between your friendship. There the other half of you and will never leave you alone even when you want them to.

A perfect friend will be there with you through the worst. The one who wipes your tears away and gives you their shoulder to cry on. They give you their hand to help pick you up and put you back together when you break apart. They give you that hug that you need without you even asking. When your in pain there in pain and when your friends are doing all they can to help you smile again, there out there trying to stop and beat down what made you upset in the first place.

They are the ones who know something is wrong even when your fooling all your other friends with your fake smile. Their the ones you do things with for the first time. They understand you like no one else and even understand you just by looking at you.

When your together you even annoy other people with all your insiders. When they don't come to school you feel abandoned.

There the ones you do the craziest things with because you can be yourself completely around them. You can do things you wouldn't dare do with other people with them. When your with them you don't need a matching bracelet, neckless or shirt for people to know your bestfriends. You have that friendship that reminds people of the times they have with their bestfriend. Or even the friendship they wish they had.

When people try stealing them away you really don't even have to worry for a second because they are so true that they wouldn't leave you. You have the most fun with them because they bring out the best of you. From the laughs you can't stop to the comfortanble silence thats a perfect friend.

They except every flaw about you, care about you and love you with all their heart and can be trusted with your life. There the most fun to be with and I'm extremely lucky to have a person like that in my life otherwise known as my bestfriend.

PERFECT !!!

Wow! I wonder everyday what a perfect house is. My perfect house would be with a living room that had the comfiest couch ever and a snack table. It would have a huge kitchen with a pink refigerator that is full of all the food you could imagine. It would have a
-toaster
-grill
-oven
and a hello kitty microwave.
That would be the life. My room would be the master bedroom all by myself. It would be painted hot pink with a hello kitty head on two walls and on the top of each wall it would have little hello kitty bows. My bed would be the biggest bed ever it would be able to swing and under my bed would be glass and under the glass you would be able to see fishes and water. My closest would have all the cute clothes ever. It would have all kind of bags, iPod covers, headphones and all the shoes you can imagine. I would have a huge flat screen t.v. I would have a game room with all the games in the world. I would have a ps3, ps2, Xbox 360 and all those other mechanical games. I would have those arcade games,ping pong table,tennis mini game and many other games. Outside would be the best I would have an pool that is so huge it would take you 5 minutes to get to the other side. I would also have a soccer field, tennis court, football field and a gymnastics area. I would also have an indoor pool. That would be the perfect house ever. My family would have any room they want also. That would be to expensive but if I can have a perfect house that what it would be.

stand up what you believe in!

Stand up what you believe in? I stand up in what I believe in. For example I believe that god made a man and a woman for eachother. Not a man and a man or, woman and a woman. People say that we should just leave them alone because there in love but, if a man/woman was with an animal it would be a crisis. God made adam and eve not adam and steve. The first people on this earth were man and woman and god wanted to keep it that way but, since were all sinners it all changed. Gays and Lesbians say they were born that way but, they weren't they all had a choice and apparently they chose the wrong choice. That's what I believe in and I stand up to it. Everyone has something they believe in and thats what I believe in.

Universal City Walk . (:

This place is awesome. I go almost every weekend whenever my parents don't work. The weekends is the best time to go because their are bright lights, loud music, performers, and other people your age dancing. Most of the genre of music is like tech-no and hip hop. That is where most of the people that like to shuffle go. That's why I love it.

     

It is also fun in the day time as well. The shops are open and there are a lot of cool places to see. You can learn how to samba with these great teachers from Spain. Everyone that works there has a great attitude. They all get along great with each other and they know how to keep their stores clean. There is also this HUGE arcade that looks just like you would see in a movie. It has blowing upstairs with super comfortable couches and music playing. At night when you bowl there always is a waitress.

     

There is a lot of excitement going on during the weekends. Usually starting at like 6:30 or 7. When I was 10 my brother showed me a video of his girlfriend dancing on stage. She worked their until she was about 20 and had to find a new job because she stole from them.But she did take me back there and I had the best time.

During the holidays the actors and performers dress to impress. Like during Christmas they decorate the stage with trees and snow and they get this huge snow machine and make it look like its a Winter Wonderland. But I'm not sure if they do that anymore. Sadly.


The best part is, it's connected to Universal City Hollywood. If you enter from the back you can walk through and at the entrance of the City Walk is the entrance of Universal City Hollywood. You can hear the rides and the entertainment going on. And the drive there is GORGEOUS. You can see the Walt Disney Creator and the Universal Sign.

Elder Scrolls Series

3-15-12

The game series of the Elder Scrolls have gone a long ways since 1994 till 2011. The games in order are: Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. These games had gotten better graphics over the year. The weapons were better, armor was better, and so were the enemy’s.

The first installment of the series isn’t that bad for the year of 1994. Of course there are bad things to it like glitches.

rubios!!

If you've never had a really bomb burrito or taco you should go to Rubios. Rubios has the BEST shrimp burrito ever! I go there like 30 times a year. I go to the one in Upland on Mountain. For birthdays we always go out to eat there. My dad asks me "where do you want to go eat?" and my siblings say " In-N-Out" and I say "NO! Let’s go to Rubios." Rubios has a very good price except on the shrimp mesquite because shrimp is pricy. Normal burritos are like 4 bucks. The super mega delicious shrimp mesquite is like 6 or 7 bucks. on tuesdays is their very special taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday comes with 2 tacos for a dollar. I like Rubios because the salsa they put in burritos are delicious and it makes you want to drool. Whenever I go I get the really bomb shrimp mesquite. When I was younger I would always get the kids menu that comes with any burrito a churro and chips. Now whenever someone asks you out to eat say hmmm….. I heard rubios was good.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is known as the city that never sleeps. When I went there it was a great experience .It did have its ups and downs but overall it was good. I love to just know that I am in the city that everybody talks about. A good part about Vegas is that it has a amazing sites and nice hotels.        

The Good thing about Vegas is how nice the hotels are and all the big lights. The hotels are like those big ole lights you see on July 14. My favorite Hotel is the one in Circus Circus because its right next to the adventure dome. And in the Adventure Dome are these amazing roller coasters. 
  
The worst part about Vegas is the weather.I hate how if its summer its extra dyeing hot and if its winter its dumb cold.I want it to be like California where it stays at a constant heat.

Kendrick Lamar One of the Best Rappers Ever

Rappers on the radio aren’t talking about anything but money nowadays. Everything they say is pure garbage to me that is why I don’t listen to the radio anymore and prefer to listen to underground rap music. There is this one rapper I particularly enjoy listening to a lot his name is Kendrick Lamar the Six Foot Giant.

Kendrick Lamar is a good rapper because he can kill any beat with his lyrical word play and clear pictures he creates through the stories he tells. He also is very intelligent and knows what he’s talking about. He proves this through many songs but “Ignorance is Bliss” stands out a lot. Kendrick Lamar takes his mistakes in life and shows them to us so we don’t go down the path he took.

I really listen to songs about his life when he talks about his life in Compton and how most of his friends were gang affiliated but he didn’t bother with that and played basketball instead. When he got to his senior year in High school he was only 5’4 and couldn’t take basketball any further. He began to rap and became pretty good at it after he put out the song “Look out for Detox” Dr. Dre a famous producer and Former NWA rapper wanted to sign him. Kendrick Lamar didn’t accept the deal and wanted to make it big his own way.

Even though Kendrick Lamar is The Great rapper he is I would like to see more diversity in his beats. All I n all Kendrick Lamar is a great rapper to listen to if you are fed up with the garbage on the radio.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Review


Six Flags Magic Mountain Review

If you are one of those people who like thriller roller coasters you must go to six flags. Six flags is a great amusement park with some of the best rides. It has some of the tallest, wildest, heart pumping rides ever and even has record breaking coasters. Just like everything else in the world it also has it's negatives but mainly everyone gets a kick out of six flags.

The rides there are insanely thrilling and will have you wanting to go back on them over and over. That’s the good thing about the place though because it’s not like other amusement parks that only have like three good rides. Magic Mountain has many rides to choose from so it may be hard to pick out your favorite.

Some of the main attractions are rides like Tatsu, Goliath, Riddlers Revenge, X2 and many others. They rides range from the regular seated rides, to rides that let your feet dangle, to stand up rides and even one that almost lets you fly! The drops and speed of the rides are crazy!

Another great thing about the park is that you can count on it for safety. I have really never heard of any incidents about the park even with the height the coasters reach. I also would know about saftey first hand. My very first time at the park I went on Riddlers Revenge, a stand up ride that you do flips on all the way around, and the ride started only to stop with an alarm sound.

The alarm sound was to alert the workers that a seat belt wasn't intact so one of the workers had to walk up the starirs to buckle in my seat belt that somehow came undone. Its was one of the most embarrasing things ever but it show'd how much safety they have at the park.

With thrilling rides that are just to much fun the place also has its downside. With all the great rides the park can get very packed. Sometimes the wait for a ride can be more then three hours. The food there can also be very pricey so it's smart to bring you'r own. Also for those people who are scared or don't like the big thrilling coasters then just don't go unless you want to have had a long boring wasteful day or a scary day of people forcing you to go on the scary rides.
So the park is amazing and a remembarable experience. It has much more fun things then negative things about it.

Stefan Janoski Nike SB Zoom Review

If you skate you would probably agree with me that you go through shoes pretty quick because I used to go through at least one pair every 2-3 weeks and it got pretty annoying. But this one day I went to the Utility board shop and got these shoes and they turned out to be great, I got Nike SB Stefan Janoskis' and they are the best skate shoes I've ever owned.

I got these shoes in the October of 2011, 5 months ago, and all they have is like 2 holes on the side from my ollies but every thing else is in like mint condition. I got the mid-top version and it was very comfortable and supported my ankle, and I'm not sure what kind of insole they put in it but it feels like I'm walking on a cloud, or riding on one.

And the bottom of the shoe isn't thick so you can feel your board better but my shoes have barely worn out which is awesome because because the first time i got some vans to skate in I swear it only took 2 weeks before there were holes in the bottom of my shoes which really sucked because it was raining that week. And I've only gone through one pair of laces so i don't have to go to the store every other day. And overall if you skate a lot then get these shoes, I'd say that the only thing is bad is the price which is like $80.

Belief

I believe in the Miami Heat winning the NBA finals.Lebron James ,Dwayne Wade ,and Chris Bosh are some of the best players in the league and their all on one team.I personally think Lebron is the best player in the league right now.






No other team has a better trio then them.They all average over 20 points.Dwayne Wade is my favorite player.He also wears my favorite number.THREE!Lebron James and Chris Bosh average the second best points.

A Menace to Society

Something I believe that shouldn't keep happening is when I go out with my friend to skate and have fun people are always kicking us out of places just because they say so. It usually pisses me off big time because its not like I'm hurting anybody and it's usually just because they want some sort of power over something. Also another reason people hate skaters are because in movies they usually play a bad person so every body believes the stereo type and thinks we're a menace to society. click me

Kony

Joseph Kony a man that abducted many children for sex slaves and to fight for him.I believe that the U.S. can go over to Africa and stop Kony.

The U.S. has sent a small group of military personnel to Africa to look for him.Though they might have a small chance I think they should send more of them over there.

If we try at least a little bit we could look through all the forests, deserts, and swamps we could find him.Also, we could have stop he rein of terror.

Stand Up For What You Believe In


So everybody has been talking about this Kony thing. Its all over facebook and has many supporters.

Kony is the last name of a man that is number one to find with all his crimes. What he does to children is terrible and if you want to know more about go to YouTube and watch the Kony 2012 video.

This is something that is and has been happening in Africa for years. A man and his friends were very touched and heartbroken about this so they took it to Washington D.C. for help. Everyone in D.C. denied helping since it has nothing to do with our country.

This is sad because we should all be working together united not just worrying about our own country. So these men made a promise they would keep to a young boy who had been through the horrible things Kony forces the children to do.

The man promised he would do all he could to help so he made Kony a big thing. He got thousands of people to help him in this to show that you should stand up for what you believe in. His belief that we can only stop Kony and his horrible crimes together.

With all his work he got the president, celebrities and other federal people from both parties to help him. He wants to make Kony famous so that the U.S. will not forget but continue to help stop Kony.

This is an example of standing up for what you believe in and not giving up or let anyone ignore you even the big people like the president. So watch the video to learn more and help support the people in stopping Kony.

I Believe That Everyone Should Be Helped! (:

    There is this movie called Rent, about a group of people living in New York and 4 out of 5 of them have AIDS or HIV. They live their live fully and are healthy, but people in Africa aren't healthy because of the diseases already out there.
    Is it fair to keep them from living the time they have left in their life happy? There are 13 million babies in Africa dying from HIV and AIDS as you read this. Less than 1% of the families with AIDS are being treated.
It is very expensive, like about $15,000 per person. I believe that everybody should have the ability to even TRY to get treated. People out here have the ability to live longer and happier with AIDS, in Africa however, its not that easy. :(
    The United States is trying their best to help out Africa with this AIDS problem. Let's hope it works.

Lunchroom cafeteria expences

Lunch at school is way too much a day I am not rich. I understand my mom makes good money enough to pay bills and such but 2.50 a day for some whatever lunch you got to be kidding me. I can't even get reduced lunch without them saying we get paid too much, if that was the case too much money would be not living in upland or not living in a apartment. I want lunch to be forty cents like everybody else's lunch or free. What if some people don't have enough to pay the high prices of everyday lunch and then starve because the school thinks we get paid too much which isnt always the case. I say free to minimum priced lunch as soon as possible. The school can always find ways to make money rather than charging kids over priced lunches.
