Did You Know?

Did you know that in Sweden a schoolboy collapsed and went into convulsions after playing a new version of the World of Warcraft computer game for 24 hours straight?! The 15-year-old boy and his friends were playing Wrath of the Lich King when he suffered what appeared to be an epileptic seizure.Just thought you might want to know that.

The Most Annoying Thing

You know what the most annoying thing is? Freakin windsheild wipers! Sure they help you see but do they have to make that squeaking noise the whole time? I get distracted very easily and when I see them go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth ................ uh, you see what I mean!? I get distracted just thinking about them. Anyway I'm gonna get get rid of mine now.

The Bitter Cold

This is my least favorite time of the year. The only good thing about it is Christmas, and that has already lost it's sparkle for me. I think the best time of year is fall because it's not to hot or to cold. There's also Halloween and Thanksgiving, don't forget my birthday. So fall is a pretty profitable and comfortable time of year.

My Weekend

My weekend was pretty boring. I didn't go to school Thursday so I had to make up for my classes plus do homework for Friday. And my grandma just had foot surgery so she can't get around well and I have to help her move around the house and get stuff done. Also I had to help clean out our basement. So I pretty much worked all weekend. Sounds like fun, right?

Music

Music is my whole existence. There's just so many different types of music that go with anything and everything. I feel really sorry for people that cannot hear because without music or any sound at all life would be boring and dull. There wouldn't be anything to dance to either, even though I don't dance anyway.

One Wish

If I had one wish I would own the Oscar Mayer food company. Because then I would be THE Oscar Mayer Weiner of the world! Not Really! I would really want to just have one day without having to argue with my family. Their pretty good, but their sticklers for rules.

The Significance of the 2008 Election

I think that this years election will change our country completely. It proves that our country still has racism but can overcome it. I think its good for our country to have a black president. I think that this will prove to people that black or any other race of people aren't inferior in any way. Obama will bring change yes, but hopefully that will turn this country away from it's current path

The Importance of Election Day

Election day is the most important day of our country. This is the day that the people choose who will lead and represent them for the next four years. Without this day the government would take over and choose who they want as leader. Without this day we wouldn't be a democracy. We would be controlled by the government.

Favorite Object

The one thing I have that I couldn't live without is a stone key that I have that my mom considered lucky. After she died I kept it and have had it hidden in my room ever since. Its the one thing of her's that I have left and I will never give it up. I hope that one day it will bring me luck just like it did for her.

America's Dependence on Foreign Oil

One of our nation's biggest weaknesses is our dependence on foriegn oil. But every soultion to this problem seems to lead to another one. Alternative energy sources are too expensive, and often aren't worth what they cost. Some possible solutions are years away. The nation has dug a very deep hole for itself, and the situation probably will get much worse before it gets better.



Now, researchers at the University of Missouri in Columbia have identified a number of reasons why we can't seem to dig ourselves out of this "hole". Instead of moving forward, we are battling with tax laws that were established a century ago, corporations that have billions invested in oil reserves have no incentive to look for alternatives, and a political system that is paralyzed.
