Week 6B - Party of the Year

My party would be catered by First Wok chinese restaurant. The food would include egg rolls, egg drop soup, whanton soup, fortune cookies, general tso chicken, chicken chow mein, and much much more chinese food. I wouldn't be able to only invite 10 guests because some of my friends would get mad at me for inviting them and then they wouldn't want to be my friend anymore. So i guess i would just have to make the guest list bigger. The band that would perform would either be Nirvana or Blink 182 because they are 2 of my favorite bands. The party will be held at the Mackinaw River. The things there would be to do there is swim, fish, watch the campfire, bags, horse shoes, paintballing(in the woods next to the river) and flashlight tag in the woods. Of course Mr. Briggs would be invited because it wouldn't be a party without him! That's how i would arrange the party of the year.

5B - A Star is Born

The kind of movie i would star in would be a movie about a group of friends that form a band and ends up going big when it seems like there is no more hope for the band. My co-stars would include Nate Altes/Drummer, Jared Letto(30 Seconds To Mars)/Singer, Synester Gates(Avenged Sevenfold)/Guitarist, and John 5(Marilyn Manson)/Guitarist. The movie would take place in Los Angeles, Cailfornia. We would all dress up in casual clothes but play grunge type music. Making it big in L.A. won't be as easy of a task as the band thinks because there are so many other bands in L.A. trying to make it to the big times.

Week 4B - What a Fright!

I have had many of the funny scary moments but there is one scary scary moment that i will never forget. A long time ago back when i was probably 10 i would always go over to my aunt jenny's house to swim in their pool. I wasn't that bad of a swimmer either but one day when i was out swimming by myself because my aunt went in to check on her kids,I just so happened to get stuck in a floaty and i started to sink in the water. I started to swollow a ton of water and i thought i was going to drown but i knew that if i would've paniced it would've been worst so i didnt. But i realized that all i had to do is pull the plug on it and let all the air out. As soon as i did this it deflated and i could swim back to the top. After that everything was just fine. I never told anybody what happened that day.

Week 3B - Offend Nobody

I dislike censorship. I feel that everybody should be able to have a freedom of speech and say what they feel because, if you dont get to say what u feel then why are you entitled to your own opinion.I see censorship at school in the way that we can't talk about religion that much at all and we aren't allowed to talk about about anything. Everybody should be able to say what they feel because it would make the world a happier place and people wouldnt be so stressed from not being able to speak freely.Everybody in the world would get along alot better if this were so.

Week 2B - Nature vs. Nurture

I think that its a little bit of both. the people and things we have around us, and genetics both influence our lives. For instance i act my dad in so many ways. I have alot of the same expressions and i like to do alot of the same things he does but also my friends have shaped me to like the music i like and do some of the things i do. For instance i sorta like rock music when i was a little kid because i always heard it and my dad liked it. Now that im older im starting to get into different types of rock music that my friends got me into which sorta portrayed me to play drums.

Week 1B - Must-See TV


My tv show would be about a group of guys that make their own skateboarding team and they are trying to work they way up to getting on a pro skate team. But they soon realize that it's not as easy to become a pro skate team as they think. The actors that would star in my tv show would be Mike Vogel, Wee-Man and their group of friends. The show would take place in Los Angeles, California mostly. Also they would be traveling around the United States to try and perform at different skate parks(do a skate demo). They would do this to hopefully get noticed by a skate sponsor and work their way up from there.

Week 8, Gothic Garb

When i was a little kid i loved wearing the costumes and getting the candy but now that im older all i can do is remember all the good memories of halloween. A long time ago i dressed up as Ace Frehley from Kiss. I had on the make up and everything. The reason i dressed up as Ace Frehley was because Kiss was one of my favorite bands and i loved Ace's make up. Also because he was a very good guitarist. Another costume i wore for halloween was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outfit. The ninja turtle i dressed up as was Michelangelo. If you dont know which one he is he wore the orange mask. He was my favorite because he loved to eat pizza and he would always say Cowabunga! Also because his weapon of choice was num chucks. I thought num chucks were amazing. Those were some of the best years of my life.

Week 7, Grizzly You

If i went anywhere in the world for 6 months it would be Antartica. I would want to go there because i love snow. Also the animals i would hope to see there are Penguins, Polar Bears, Sea Lions, and many other winter animals. It would be a good experience to live in an igloo and see how different it is to live in a different atmosphere. The hardships of living in the cold weather would be trying to survive the extremely cold weather, finding food, making a shelter, and keeping myself entertained. The biggest reason i have chosen to go to Antartica is because i would love to live with penguins and observe their habitat. It would be a great experience for me and it would change my life forever.

Week 6, My Animal


The animal i most resemble is a bat because they are in the dark all the time and i love to just sit in the dark and have time to myself. Also because i wear black shirts everyday which is the color of a bats fur. Also if i had to be an animal i would want to fly so that i could get around to places better and bats fly. Another reason i am like a bat is because when i was a little kid i loved to hang upside down on the jungle jim just like how a bat sleeps. Lastly i am like a bat because i can hear very good just like a bat.

Week 5, Making a Comeback

I have had a few comebacks. One of my biggest setbacks is when i tried out for the basketball team in 7th and 8th grade and didnt make it. But i worked hard over the summer,i made a comeback and ended making the freshman team last year. I also made the Junior Varsity team this year. I loved knowing that i could achieve something. Another setback of mine was not making honor roll first semester last year so, i worked my butt off next semester. I ended up making a comeback and getting High Honor Roll. I was so happy of myself. I have been able 2 maintain blue card everytime since then also. Another setback is when i got my first drum set 4 years ago. I was horrible at playing drums. I wanted to be good so bad so i earned money to get a drum teacher and now i am pretty good.

Week 4, Center of the Earth


What is at the center of the earth? I think the center of the earth is made of bubble gum from a blow pop. One of my favorite sweets is a sucker so thats partly why i have always thought that maybe the center of the earth was made of bubble gum from a blow pop. Have u wondered why nobody has ever been able to get to the center of the earth? or if someone has been there? Well if someone could go to the center of the earth then they couldn't get back out because they would get stuck in the bubble gum at the center of the earth. That's why noone knows for sure if anyone has been to the center of the earth.

Week 3, My Utopia

My idea of a perfect Utopia is a place that is away from everyone probably in the country but, still not to far away from town. At my Utopia i would have a pretty HUGE house, 3 cars(viper, corvette, and mustang), a basketball court, a swimming pool, and a big garage. In my house there would be 5 bedrooms, 2 dining rooms, 1 kitchen, 1 basement, an upstairs, and 3 bathrooms. There would also be an entire game room. The games i would have in my game room are XBOX 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Ps2, and DDR. At my house i would have DDR and Guitar Hero 2 tournaments. Also there would be a sound proof music room where i could practice drums and have band practice with my band. I would also have my own bowling alley with pool tables, a juke box, fosse ball table, and air hockey. That is my idea of a perfect Utopia.

Week 2, About My School

Olympia High School is a pretty well rounded school. It is in the middle of nowhere, but everyone here treats eachother with respect. The things i like about Olympia is that we have four 80 minute classes instead of eight 45 minute classes like most schools. By only having 4 classes i can keep myself really organized and on schedule. Also i like having a whole bunch of elective classes to take. But the things i dont like about Olympia is that we only get like a 35 minute lunch. That is the only time i have to talk to my friends, but by time i get through the lunch line and eat i dont have time to talk to my friends. At Oly there arent really any "clicks" there used to be in Oly Middle School, but there really arent clicks that much at school anymore.

Week 1, If I Could Meet One Person...



If i could meet one person i would meet Kurt Cobain. I would want 2 meet Kurt Cobain because his music really influenced my life. His music really helped me get through the bad times in my life. Also i would want 2 meet him because he is a mastermind songwriter. If i could meet Kurt Cobain i would like 2 ask him a few questions. The questions i would ask him are why did he write so many songs about sadness? Who were your musical influences growing up? Why did you only play guitar using the Fender Jaguar and Fender Mustang? Why did you kill yourself? How old were you when you started playing guitar? Why did you choose to be a musician?
