This is my last blog post for this class. So I’m not going to put any effort into this. I’m just going to talk about how my sophomore year is almost over. I have 6 official school days left and then I’m done. It’s a fantastic feeling. This summer is going to be a great one because my dad just moved back to Arkansas from California so now i don’t have to go to LA all summer. I can stay here with my friends and just chill. I’m not going to go out and be stupid and do dumb stuff like drugs or drink. I’m just going to hang out and have a good time. Probably going to workout and run a lot as well as play video games non stop. That’s what I love doing and no one seems to mind besides my mom. She’s always telling me to go outside but I taught myself to just ignore her. I love her beyond everything, but it gets old pretty quick. So yeah. That’s my last blog post for my 2013-2014 english class. It sucked and was great all at the same time.
There’s a lot of music in this world. Different people make different music. It just depends on how they feel about what makes them happy. Whatever takes them to that place in their mind that satisfies their current emotions. If I’m feeling pumped and like I can take on the world, I listen to very vulgar rap. Don’t ask me why, I just do. It gets me amped and blood pumping. Especially when I’m driving. I drive to just get out of the house and think about stuff. Once I’m in the drivers seat, I get so excited and just want to go fast. So then I turn on my music, whether it be hard rap or smooth pop. As long as it’s loud and shakes the car it’s fine. Driving in my opinion is the coolest thing in the world. It relieves so much stress for me and I can think about anything. I’m still a good driver and safety is always on my mind, but sometimes I just have to go. Driving is fun and lets you just think about stuff. The same thing goes for music. I’ll listen to music and just lay in bed for hours because it’s relaxing. And there’s so many types of music out there. I like to listen to rap most of the time because a lot of rappers songs relate to me. Or I relate to them. Others have absolutely nothing to do with me but I still like to listen to them. Mostly because of the beat of the song. Some get me pumped and make me feel like I can do anything in the world. Other songs make me think about life and people and friends and the future. Sometimes I’ll listen to sad songs if I’m feelings sad… I’d rather not do this, but it helps in some cases. My current favorite song is Trophies by Drake. I don’t know why, but the beat of it makes me feel good. It’s one of those songs that’s about being a cool guy and getting what you want. I can’t really relate to it, but it’s still my favorite. I would share a lot more songs with you, but they’re pretty vulgar and I know most people wouldn’t want to listen to it. So yeah. There’s a ton of music out there and if you find something you like, you can only benefit from it. You just have to find what is right for you. Essay #1 1. Junk food is part of American way of life. 2. Cafeteria food is horrible. 3. Kids sometimes don’t even eat lunch. The vending machine is a wonderful invention. They’re quick and easy to get food out of on the go and give students a variety. Who cares if the food inside is junk food. It’s the student’s decision and they can choose what to do. We’re in America. We should be free to eat whatever we choose whether it’s healthy or not. Junk Food is part of American way of life. And the cafeteria food is horrible. Kids don’t even eat lunch sometimes. Vending machines would be amazing if they actually had junk food. First, junk food is just American food. Everybody loves it because it tastes good. And if they want to watch their weight then they don’t need to eat it. It’s everybody’s choice. I don’t see why the government took it away just because they wanted to. It’s like taking away a certain brand of trucks because of how they look. That would cause a lot of complaints and anger. The same thing happened with taking junk food out of the vending machines. Students were so mad! So please. Put it back in. Second, cafeteria food is horrible. It’s just not good in my opinion. And im a 16 year old guy. So i need about 3 tray servings to fill me up. I would much rather go buy a snack to have with my main meal only to satisfy my taste buds. There’s so much more students could do with junk food in the vending machines. It’s not considered junk food to us. It’s good tasting food that would much rather be digested than the cafeteria catastrophe. Third, kids sometimes don’t even eat lunch! And people may think they’re crazy or dumb, but it’s not their fault. We used to have junk food in the vending machines so that’s what we grew on. It was normal to have 2 bags of chips with a coke for lunch. Now that they’re gone, kids don’t know what to do. The cafeteria lunch is expensive and gross so they don’t eat at all. I don’t blame them either. In conclusion, please put junk food in the vending machines. It would make students happier and I’m sure we would all agree to pick up trash and keep it clean. Make it only available during lunch time to keep it under control. So please. Put American food back in this school. It’s been 2 months since the horrid day known as D-Day. The terrifying alien race known as the Trundle came from up above the all mighty Jax Mountain. This mountain stands 46,000 meters high and is impossible to climb. Jax is the highest point on planet Akali and no one has ever dared attempt the space barrier climb. With almost no oxygen to breathe at that elevation, it’s also -64 degrees fahrenheit 24/7 and is constantly in terrifying blizzards. The Trundle came fast and in numbers and went to the nearest piece of civilization which was 400 miles west of Jax. They came upon the city of Howling Abyss where Darius had grown up in. He was a strong and brave man who specialized in heavy weaponry, and loved his big 2-handed axe. Darius is the best warrior in his village and never once has lost a duel.. Except against his brother, Draven. Darius could see evil sparked in Draven’s eyes since the beginning. Darius had Draven exiled for fear of the future being war. But in this time of need, Draven could be of much benefit. Darius and his comrades fought off the large ice trolls for hours, but they kept coming off the mountain. They were in need of assistance! Then, with defeat on the horizon, Draven and his league of axe throwers came roaring over the hill to the south on Sejuani, the prized boar of Akali. The Trundle were completely oblivious to the flanking attack. With Darius and his friends on their heels, The League of Draven swept in and slaughtered every last ice troll all the way back to the base of the mountain. As they came down for another siege, they saw Darius and Draven side by side on Sejuanis. Fear was struck into the eyes of the fowl invaders. They slowly backed up the mountain, knowing that it wasn’t over. Draven and Darius sat there, out of breath. They both knew it wasn’t over and that what had happened in the past was meant to be. They braced each other in the handshake of brothers. The battle was won, but the war is not over. I hate school.. I don’t like what people think of the kind of society we live in. I don’t like it at least. Why can’t we be in an organized world where everyone is told what to do and how to live their life. I’m just tired of all the choices and dreams going through my head. It’s too much stress. I know this is American and it’s the land of dreams, but no one gets what they want. No one. We all go to school to just go to college and get a basic job. Yeah we’re free to do whatever and make friends and have nice lives but I just hate it. I want everyone to be the same. To do the same things and no one have a better time than anyone else. This sounds really bad, but I think this world would just overall be better. I’m done with school and having dreams. It’s just annoying to see everyone having their own problems and thinking about such little things to make their days slightly different than others. I picture a society where we all get assigned jobs or education roles and just go about our days. No choices. No plans. No stress. That would be ideal for me. The world we live in now is good and everything with so much we are capable of and knowing what we’re made of. That’s what god made us for. To live to our fullest potential and change the world. I will never forget that, but I can’t handle this world right now. It’s too much for me. That’s why the perfect society would be nice. Everyone has the same mentality and is told what to do all the time. No choices. That’s why I want to join the US Marines. It’s the closest thing i can think of to discipline and orderly conduct. I want a boss to tell me what to do and have no choices. I want to be in a warzone where I know I can die any minute for a good reason. My christmas break was very long. It ended up being 3 weeks thanks to snow and bad Pea Ridge roads. I was so happy we missed that last week because I went to LA, California to help my dad move into his apartment. But before all that, it was fun at my house. My grandparents came down and stayed all Christmas week and we had big dinners every night. It was probably one of my favorite Christmas breaks. The fact that I had a very nice time with my family and that it was extended an entire week. I got a new TV, a new graphics card for my computer, a new power supply for it as well, and some money. I got 160$ total, but that did not last long at all. I bought games instantly and that was probably half the money. The rest is just sitting in my wallet. Also, I got a webcam a little earlier before Christmas so I could video chat once I move to LA. I have this friend online that is from New Jersey so I am now able to video chat with him as well. I think I’ve known him for a year now and i could consider him as one of my best friends. So back to LA. I was there for a whole week, but to get there we drove for 32 hours!! My dad had rented a U-Haul and we loaded it all with stuff for my dad’s apartment. It only had 3 seats in the front cab so my brother and I traded off every couple hours between middle and passenger seat. It sucked so much! Our buts were sore for days. But the drive was very nice through Arizona because it was beautiful and memorizing. Once we got to LA, it wasn’t what I thought it was. All LA is is a big city in a desert. It’s not that pretty at all but the environment and weather is nice. Lots of people and cars everywhere but you get used to it. My brother and I stayed in my dad’s apartment for 2 days because he had to go to work and LA is a dangerous place. So he told us not to leave the building unless an emergency. And the first night we stayed there, he loaded up his pistol and put it under the tv and told us to not hesitate to use it if someone broke in. It made me laugh because he actually thought that the place we were at was bad. It was a nice place called the Artisan Apartments. So all in all, LA was really nice. But i was very homesick in a couple days… So that’s my Christmas break for you! |
