Room 101


In my room 101 would probably be spiders because they freak me out. All those legs are just unnatural.

Kitten Story

This kitten reminds me of the time when I saved a small village in eastern Europe from a pack of giant bloodthirsty kittens. I was traveling the the country side minding my own business, when I came into a town. The majority of the population had taken refuge in a large church near the center of the village. I entered the church to find out what was going on. They welcomed me coldly as though I was an agent of the kittens or some kind of spy. After learning of how the murderous kittens had destroyed and ravaged the town I grew hot with rage. I set out the next morning to stop these vile creatures from harming the town ever again. I carried with me only my walking stick as a weapon. Upon entering the evil kittens lair I stealthily progressed through the maze of caves and tunnels. When I finally came to the large cavern that the demonic kittens inhabited I went blind white with rage and attacked without mercy. I woke up in the church two weeks later. Apparently I had slew the kittens but sometime in the battle the horrible beasts had bitten both of my legs clean off. They said that after I didn't return for a week they thought I was dead. But when the kittens didn't attack they came looking for me. Luckily for me a master surgeon lived in the village and was able to reattach my legs.

Thanksgiving

Well if there is one thing that my family knows how to do it is cook. I love the turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, the hot rolls... my family can cook. My personal favorite at thanksgiving is probably the turkey and gravy and hot rolls. I also love the chocolate pies, we always have at least 2 chocolate pies.

My favorite things about thanksgiving break are...
1-The "Crazy Good" food
2-Getting together with family
3-Watching Thanksgiving day football.
4-sleeping in through the break
5-the cool weather
6-playing football in the back yard
7-staying up late.
8-chilling with friends.
9-The "Amazing" food.
10-No School.

Senior night

I don't get to play my last home game in Fair Park Stadium this week because I pulled the heck out of my hamstring last week against Friona. It really sucks that the last home game I would have ever had the chance to play in with a childress jersey I have to sit out. My mother and I have spent 2 hours a day working to rehab my hamstring and get it playable as soon as possible. Hopefully, if everything goes well and my muscle heals quickly I will be able to play our first playoff game next week.

Maybe banning the costumes altogether was a little extreme, but the guy who wore the Hitler costume should have thought of the people he would be affending when he did. Maybe he and a few others thought it was funny but when you dress up as someone who killed millions of people you better get ready for some recoil. Dressing up like a killer from some movie is one thing; Hitler and the Holocaust actually happened and people still feel the effect of it today. I think that wearing the Hitler costume to a school with a large number of Jewish students was pretty stupid. If someone wore it to childress then it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal but if there were Jewish student then they would probably be pretty angry.

Ten Reasons why I like Halloween
1-Candy
2-Dressing up
3-haunted houses
4-scaring people
5-scaring movies
6-weather is getting cooler
7-candy
8-thanksgiving is getting close. lol i like thanksgiving.
9-playoff season is closing in.
10-candy

Story (i not much of a storyteller)

It was a bright cool morning in a small west Texas town. As Bobby rolled over to stop his extremely annoying alarm clock, he groaned remembering it was another Friday. School was bleak that day and all anybody was thinking about was the football game. Bobby, who once loved to play football had found his desire dwindle during their less than perfect season thus far. Now that district was here the pressure was even more intense.

Pregame was all but perfect as the Bobcats whooped and hollered. They hadn't played a team like this all year. They lost the coin toss and so the bobcats, unfortunately for bobby had to receive the ball. As bobby lined up behind the center in the shotgun he scanned the bobcat defense. the play called just might work. As he screamed "hike" the players sprung into action and bodies were flying. He took the snap and scramble right, he had the edge. When out of nowhere a huge hairy man picked him up off the ground and slung him to the ground, then 350 pounds landed right on top of him. Poor Bobby never got over the ghastly hit big nasty hicks laid on him that night.

Birthday

I guess one of the best birthdays I've ever had was about 2 years ago when my parents through me a surprise birthday party at the swimming pool. I usually don't do anything special for my birthday, but that was a fun birthday party. I never saw it coming either, I thought I was just dropping my little brother off at the pool for something and then it turned out there was a huge party for me.

Fridays

1- Is obviously because of the football games, I love to get out on the field and compete. As a football team we work hard all week to get ready and play that weeks opponent; and getting to take what you've done all week and apply it to the game is something I always look forward to.
2-Its the last day of school for that week.
3-Tomorrow is Saturday and I'll get to sleep a little later.
4-Friday nights after home games just hanging out with friends.
5-Fridays always seem to be more relaxed at school.

7-You have something to look forward to do during the weekend, on mondays you wake up dreading the entire week. Fridays you know the weekend is nearly here.
8-Did i meantion the football games?

Future

When you get to your junior and senior years of high school people start asking you things about what you want to do when you graduate; they all fail to understand that the only thing I'm looking forward to upon graduation is leaving. Its not a hatred for this town that most of my generation feel its a need to have freedom. I honestly don't know where I'll be when I'm 30. The truth is I don't ever think about it. Where would I like to be in 15 years? Hopefully I'll be married the girl of my dreams, be financially secure and maybe be starting a family. But maybe thats not how it turns out, maybe I'm broke, or maybe no kids. Whatever happens I know that I'm not going to waste my one life doing things I don't love. Living life pessimistically isn't for me, I'm an optimistic person. The cup isn't half empty its half full. In the end I don't care where I end up in 10, 15, 0r 20 years, as long as I'm happy.

Bonfire!

Your senior bonfire is something you look forward to all four years of your high school career. I never have really cared much, and in till this year I couldn't have cared less about the bonfire. Even me the guy thats never put a stick into the bonfire that past few years looked forward to going to my senior bonfire. Your senior bonfire (to football players anyway) is equivalent if not more important than your senior prom.

This is, in my opinion, just another way people in the generation above us (with some exceptions) think that they're making the world better by taking away privileges from the youth because they're so sure we're gunna screw it up or make the wrong decision. Because a few people are stupid enough to to mess around in the still smoldering ashes of a bonfire doesn't mean they should all be totally outlawed. More people die from tobacco than from bonfires, so why not outlaw that? What about driving? This is sort of how they took our hour long lunches from us last year. A few students were doing things they shouldn't have been and so what do they do? They punish everybody by taking our lunches, and then they say "well you still have 40 minutes. Ha thats a joke! try 35 minutes, and when it takes 10 to get outta the parking lot and 15 more waiting on food. That makes abouta 10 minute lunch brake. Those people that screw it up for the rest of us usually aren't going to say "well no bonfires so I guess I won't play with fire" or "only 10 minutes left of lunch, I guess I won't get stoned before I go back to school."

First Week


The first week of my senior year.
Its not exactly how I always pictured my senior year would be.
I figured Id just take a bunch of easy classes and shop classes.
But it hasn't turned out that way.
Now I'm stuck in college History, college Government and Chem II.
I'm practically a full time college student.
The History and Government I could do.
But this Chemistry is gunna put the hurt'in on me.

There are lots of things to look forward to though.
Such as Friday nights, basketball, baseball, and it being my last year of school.
My schedule is sorta wak.
There is a total of 7 people in my first 2 classes.
3rd period is pretty cool.
4th period I go to the media center and work on my online Government class.
5th period I go to the elementary and help coach Gaylor with p.e.
6th is the worst though, and its ART!
7th period is History...
Athletics is a day to day thing, one day I can't wait for it.
And the next day I'll dread it.

I can't see the future or anything.
But I'm starting to think senior year isn't going to be all its cracked up to be.
