story about kindergarten

I remember my first day of kindergarten. I had to be at school by 8:00 am. So i remember getting up at 7:00 and watching Pokemon with my brothers. So then we got ready and stuff or whatever, and it was like 7:55 and my school was about 5 minutes away. so we got in my moms car and went to school. the only thing that i remember after that is running down the hallways trying to find my class. haha :)

frikka-frikka-freeeee posssssttt.

yah know, i was thinking about thumbs the other day. and it struck me- life would be so hard without thumbs. you know? like, they come in handy on so many levels. without thumbs, you can't write, or pick things up, or text. that would be tragic. so this blog is dedicated to thumbs, they derserve more credit.

:)

freeeeeee post :)

for my free post, i chose to put a soccer ball. why? because it's my favorite sport :) i've been playing soccer since i was four years old, and still play for the team here. one problem is that i have a disease in my knee called osgood shlatter, so that has prevented me from playing for a little bit the past 3 years. but even when i'm on crutches, i do my best to at least try and practice, because i just can't stay off the field. soccer is my passion.

something yellow

i chose this big yellow happy face because you should always be happy :) even when life gets you down, you have to learn from it and move on. because i've learned that life does go on and gets better, trust me. whenever one door in your life closes, a bigger and better one comes along. so just be positive. be happy :)

what are you afraid of?

tornadoessss!

1. I am absolutely, positively, and deathly afraid of tornadoes.
2. I don't believe there is anything I can do to get over my fear. I guess i'll just have to know things to do in case there ever is one so i don't die.
3. All I can say about tornadoes is they better not come to florida. because i don't like them. so they should stay somewhere else, like in antarctica or something.

post a picture, tell a story

k, so this is a picture that will be on the class of 2012 t-shirts.
haha, not really. but i wish. instead of studying for my algebra 2 midterms,
i made this lovely masterpiece, and it deserves to be displayed.
i mean, anyone with eyeballs can tell that this is clearly one of a kind.
although i'm sure the school would not approve of these
being on our t-shirts, i'm still gonna make them. like at home.
and everyone will be raging with jealousy
:)

magazine cover

I chose this magazine cover because it was published on the day of my best friend's birthday. This magazine cover talks about genetics, and how it can save lives from diseases, like cancer. Coincidentally, last summer we found out that she has cancer. Maybe one day they will find a cure with the study of genetics.

something extravagant

Lil Wayne's House, from MTV Cribs.

The tour begins with rapper Lil' Wayne's fabulous New Orleans digs. The first thing we see is his ultra-posh living room complete with a long, white, stretch sectional sofa reminiscent of gangsta Tony Montana's in Scarface. His model car collection adds a whimsical touch to the pristine space. If you're looking for somewhere to crash in New Orleans, you should definitely check out Lil Wayne's guestroom. With satin sheets on the bed and pictures of Lil' Wayne himself on the mirror, you're sure to be comfy. Lil' Wayne's five-year-old daughter Reginae also has a nice space in the house. Her room is decorated in the oh-so-cute Dora the Explorer theme. When Lil' Wayne really wants to get away, he heads off to his "Kick It" room. Purple lighting and a picture of Bob Marley set the cool, laid-back mood for the room. Decadence is the word to describe Lil' Wayne's bedroom. Again, the bed is wrapped in satin sheets, and an impressive collection of bling drips from the sides of the nightstand. After taking us around his abode, Lil' Wayne leads us outside to show us his rides: his amazing Austin Powers "Shaguar" and his big-body Escalade truck.

Astronomers take virtual plunge into black hole

This article is about the advanced research on black holes. Astronomers are trying to figure out more information on them. Scientists can try to simulate a trip inside with the help of equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which make predictions about black hole behavior.

Many people think you would be engulfed in darkness when you fall in, but that is a common misconception, Hamilton points out. The view of the outside universe would become distorted, but would not disappear.

Once you pass the horizon you would be falling faster than the speed of light toward the black hole's center -- called a singularity -- and feeling the effects, Hamilton said.

"The gravity at your feet is stronger than the gravity at your head, as long as you fall in feet first. ... You feel this difference in gravity between your feet and your head as a tidal force, which pulls you apart vertically in a process called 'spaghettification,' "

"At the same time as you are pulled apart vertically, you are crushed in the horizontal direction, like a rubber band being pulled. So if you would like to be taller and thinner, then one way to achieve that is to fall into a black hole."

Dad & Daughter Reunited After 27 Years

(April 17) - A father and daughter who spent nearly three decades believing the other was dead are back in each other's arms.

Dirk Pratt last saw his daughter, Francesca, 27 years ago, when her mother took the then toddler on what was supposed to be a quick trip to Ecuador. Pratt said he was told shortly following their departure that Francesca had died after being bit by a mosquito. Francesca was told her father had died in a diving accident but she was never convinced.

The father and daughter credit Google for their amazing reunion. Pratt said he decided to Google himself after seeing a character use the search engine in the Angelina Jolie film 'Wanted.' When he plugged in his own name, Google turned up a message that read, "I am trying to contact Dirk Pratt. I am his daughter."

On Wednesday, Dirk and his daughter, having trumped lies and years of distance thousands of miles long, finally reunited.

Car Payment Or Else

"With consumer credit ratings plummeting, more American car owners could soon be driving around with an electronic Big Brother on board.

General Motors has introduced a feature using similar technology that enables law enforcement to track a fleeing car and slow it gradually slow it to idling speed when the situation warrants."

something old

the whole story is posted here: http://newdeal.feri.org/sevier/interviews/413s.htm

but here is an excerpt of it.

"My dad used to hunt a lot. Bring in deer and wild turkeys for part of our meals and so forth, and sometimes we had to go out with a shot gun and shoot into a herd or into a flock of blackbirds and have blackbird pie, if you can imagine that!

When I got old enough to work, a dollar a day was big money. At one time, after I was married, I got paid a silver dollar for a day's work that I did. I was showing it to my wife Emma and dropped it on the porch. There was a crack in the porch and it went through underneath, so we tore the whole porch down to get to that dollar. That's how rough things got. Seemed everybody was poor. I think there was one telephone in town. Two or three people had cars; everybody else gets horses, buggies, and wagons as their transportation, or you walked.

We worked eight, nine hours most of the time. We'd get big money, lot bigger than we'd get here at home, on the farms, which you'd get three-fifty a day."

"What are you listening to?"

1. What is your favorite song? currently, it's "yourbiggestfan"

2. Who is the artist? nevershoutnever

3. Do you enjoy all of this artist's music? yeah, every single song.

4. Do you know anything about this performer? he's a one man band, & he writes all of his songs.
