chapter.5

Where would I live if I was alive 1000 years ago??

I personally would live in Italy, not just because im italian but because it would be cool to live in my homeland. I would also like to be there in roman times to be a gladiator or something. It would be so awsome to fight a lion or be in the military with a family and all that. I also would like to attend a wild Roman toga party at which i would meet many friends and chickas, but ultamitly dance with the yellow power ranger and have a hell of a time!!!!

Italian Pride!!!

Chapter.3

I once again am here to let you know what happened on this day when the Incas were slaughtered by the fierce Spaniards, through the Incas perspective.

"Our glorious king woke us early in the day from our rest. As we emerged from out tents half asleep half awake, our commanders ordered us to commence a richual ceremony to the gods. As we went out into the open we noticed a mer few white strangers in the town across the plain, our scouts had told us story's of the white man. With there fierce four legged monsters and the dark magic weapons. How they could kill from great distances and how they rode with gold and silver and struck dead any man with a single motion. I grew scared just thinking of the stories, for until now that's all they were, just stories. As we unfolded onto the plain a strange man with a long stake in one hand and a weird square object in his other, he approached us. He approached our great king, as he did our royal guards tried to stop him but the king waved them off, for he didn't want to be hostile towards the mighty white man.

I couldn't quite make out what they were discussing, but it seemed as though the strange man was trying to persuade our king of something. Then our king asked his men to come forth and to see if any of us could read the inscription on the strange square, just as he did the strange man tried to take back the square. I could not believe my eyes, this stranger had just tried to take the kings gift back? What an insult, I could hardly bear it myself. I totally understood why our leader took his precious square and threw it to the ground, I would have done the same if i was in that position.

Just as the book was tossed to the ground, the stranger ran off shouting god knows what at the other men in the town. Then within moments we were being attacked from every angle by what seemed to be monsters from hell itself. I was to stunned to do anything or to protect anyone, they came at us so fast with such beauty and power it left me in awe at their abilities. Then I saw a rider of the monsters and I tried to run but the shimmer of his gold/silver blinded me and......

Q: What role did geography play in the story of the marionis and the maris???

A: It made it so that the larger tribe could get larger. They had more land and more resources to get bigger and epically dominate!

THE REAL STORY!!!

TOP SECRET

what i am about to tell you is top secret and can not leave this page of the Internet. All that you have been told by Mr. Ross, about how the neanderthals died, is a lie!!!! I'm here to tell you the truth. The real reason that the neanderthals died is quite simple actually, as you may know their heads are quite large. Since this is true the reason they all died off is because their heavy heads would fall to the ground and because of excessive trauma and concussions to the head they all died. This rapid and steady hitting of such large heads to the ground also is what made the content's shift, from one big land mass to the countries you see before you today. This is the plain and simple facts, believe them or not. This message will self-destruct in 5.....4..........3..........2...........1........

The Mighty Jehad

I was riding my camog through the Sahara Desert, sweat was coming down my face as i pushed my Camog to go faster and faster. I turned back and saw the group of ninja warriors that we chasing us ever since we stormed out of the city of Ciro with the golden camel. They were gaining on us I could feel the ninja stars wizzz by my face, I just kept my head low and pushed my camog to go faster. I began to fear that i might not be able to get out of this, I thought of all the treasures i had risked my life for in times past, but i quickly came to my senses and decided this would not be my last ride. I saw in the distance a small canyon that I knew the ninja warriors wouldn't be able to jump across, but then again I wasn't sure I could make it either. I just put on the steam more and more in hopes i would be able to make it across the canyon. I drew closer and closer until i was at the edge ready to take off, in the longest jump i had ever attempted. My eyes narrowed, my heart stopped, i lost feeling in my legs and hands, my camog and I became one. We leaped off the ledge, almost perfectly, i closed my eyes. Five seconds later I felt the first foot reach the other side, I had made it to ride once again. All the ninjas had fallen short and were sucked into the depths of canyon. My name is Jehad and I am the raider of treasures, I battle creatures and monsters big and small, I fight ninja warriors, I fight ferocious enemy's, but that's another story for another night.

Dungeons & Dragons

In class before we left on our turkey break, Mr.Ross read to us a story of a mother who's son committed suicide. She continued on telling the story of how she found two Dungeons & Dragons books in the stack that he used to boost himself to the rope. So there for she blames Dungeons & Dragons for the death of her son, and continues on to clam that it is a colt and a good parents so not let there children play this game or any others like it. We were instructed to write a response to her story and thoughts.

http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.8.1.165438.1158.html

First off I would like to extend my deepest regards to you and your loss that you have endured, it truly is tragic to lose a loved one especially a son and to such a terrible death. My deepest sorrow for you and your loss. Although it is tragic and shocking, I do believe you have taken this Dungeons & Dragons opinions to an extreme level. I really do not believe this fantasy roll play game is what caused your son to commit suicide, I personally have never played it before. Although I have not played this particular game I have played many other roll playing games and billions of fiction/fantasy games, and I have no depressed feeling or any want to end my life.

I do believe that the main reason that your son could have committed suicide is because of the controlling attitude you have. You display this attitude in your writing, you erg people (parents) to take control of there kids lives, to know who they are friends with, what they do, how they do it, when they do it, how much they do it. Personally I think that this is a major problem with parents today not just you in particular. I truly believe that some parents do not let there children have basically a "life". This in my opinion depresses kids and really kills there childhood and ultimately runs them to things like cults, drug, booze, and all that jazz. I mean don't get me wrong I think there needs to be supervision, rules, and consequences but only to a certain degree.

I also believe that your controlling way of parenting drove your son to this game to find friends and just have fun. Then again who is to say that he ever played the game? You said your self you kept a close eye on him and what he did, so when would he have played it? Also he could have just had the books because it had "cool" pictures or he wanted to draw a dragon. Did you ever think that he was just another creative teenager? Maybe your controlling approach crushed his creative spirit?

Then again I don't want it to seem like I think it is all your fault and there is nothing good about you, because in reality he had to have had some emotional or mental problems that drove him to the action he took. I just deeply believe that a controlling parent would not have helped the situation, and based on the reaction you took to Dungeons & Dragons it seems that you just want to take control and get ride of the game all together. Which if you think about it is absurd that would be like banning Monopoly. Why would you do something like that?

As a suggestion to parents who read this and thought her article was scary and want to monitor what there children do, this is what I suggest.

1) Do it with your child. like this game, if it interests your child play it with him for a while if your satisfied and he is then your all set. If you don't think its appropriate then you can ban him/her from playing it. Just keep in mind its his choice your just there to see if it is a safe game for him to play or get involved in.

2) Don't over react, talk to your kids

In conclusion I would again like to extend my deepest sorrow to you and your loss. Along with that I would like to say quite bluntly that you are wrong about Dungeons & Dragons being the cause of your sons death. Finally I would like to thank you for showing me that my mom isn't the only controlling parent out there.

much support and thanks

The Hero!!!!!!!

It was a normal day for Bill, but was it really normal? He woke up to the sound of the emergency phone going Alarm! Alarm! Alarm! He picked it up the phone, it was a distressed citizen describing to him how their fluffy elephant got stuck in a tree. So bill went into his closet and in a split second emerged as a COMMANDER COOL! He ran to the window and jumped, and took off flying to the high heavens. He sored as fast as he could through the city. Then in his view he saw the fluffy elephant, stuck way high in a Redwood tree in the middle of the city. He landed and assessed the situation, first he tried to pick up the elephant and fly back down. To bad his super power wasn't super strength. So he flew down and thought what can I do to save this elephant?

Then it hit him like a pile of feathers, I can summon MIGHTY MUTT! So he yelled as loud as he could MIGHTY MUTT! COME HERE! and in a flash Mighty Mutt was there. The giant great dain was blessed with the power of super strength. So Mighty Mutt got the elephant down, but unfortunately while this was happening Commander Cools Nemesis was here. Someone so evil, so cruel, so demonic, he calls himself THE PLUNGER! Commander Cool took off to combat this formidable enemy, but The Plungers super sucking powers were just to powerful and they over whelmed Commander Cool. Then when The Plunger had Commander Cool sucked in he threw him hard and fast into a far off building. Commander Cool reciprocated fast and took off after The Plunger, but what was he to do? He cant over power him, Mighty Mutt was busy. What would our hero do???

We leave our hero in his deathly situation to share with you these commercials:)

Hey YOU!!! yah YOU!!! let me know you read my stuff!!!!

Hey!!! even though I know half the people who look at my blog, I want to know who acctually visits it.

so if you could be really cool and leave a comment lettin me know who you are I would really apreciate it and ill comment back!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

My Tube Story

Okay, well if i was put in a situation that called for me to sacrifice my life for 9 months to save someone Else's life, I really don't know what i would do? I like to think that i would do it no matter who the person was, but then again I think that it would be a very difficult decision for me to make. I also think that if a life time supply of Fruit Loops was thrown into the deal it could tip the scales in the favor of me cooperating. Also the only way I would cooperate is if i was allowed to leave and go have fun for a few hours a week.

I also think that they should give me pretty much anything i want so that i dont get bored or fat. In reality this situation is very hard for me, one because i want to help the guy, but two i want to live my life for 9 months. So i dont really have an answer, but I like to think that i would help the poor guy out in a heart beat.

other than those terms i would be happy to help out

Spongebob Or Patrick

Seeing that i'm not a great thinker like Mr.Ross (or Rachel ). I have my thinking moments at breakfast. For instance this morning I sat there staring at my Fruit Loops and thinking. What if Fruit Loops could think? Do they know they are so yummy? Then i thought about how maybe at night they come to life and have wars with the cornflakes, of course the Fruit Loops would win because they have more flavor. Anywho after I take my first bite i start to think about serious stuff like, how I didn't do my homework! or how I'm grounded AGAIN! Then i start to think about the Yellow PowerRanger (wink wink). Then finally my mind goes back to an empty space that a ping pong ball goes bouncing around.

P.S. (On occasion I have serious thoughts)

Beowulf

This book is the most exciting book I've ever read! It takes you through the adventures of the warrior Beowulf as he travels to the kings kingdom to fight off the evil monster terrorizing the land. he fights this monster and defeats it while other nights had failed miserably. I don't want to give the whole story away, you'll just have to take my word for it. this book is a book that will keep you guessing as to what will happen next and the excitement will have you hooked forever.

From its gory battle scenes to its mystical and dangerous plot line. This book is a riveting read! This book is also something that might appeal mainly to younger teenagers because of its fantasy based theme. Even so it still is an exciting book and anyone could enjoy reading, this book is a perfect mix of excitement and plot. This book is the best book on the planet!!!!

My Feelings

Well we were instructed today to write about ourselves as students. I'm not really entirely sure how to write that, so I thought I would just give you my experience here at High Tech High North County. Well to be honest with you i didn't like the school at first, even before I got here I thought it was a waste and I just was against the idea of the High Tech High school. But the first day really changed my thinking, this is why. Well the number one reason I changed my thinking was because of the most wonderful and amazing Mr.Ross. I know I talk about him alot and say he is so wonderful in all but really he is! I have never meet or had a teach quite as cool and so well at teaching as Mr.Ross. In alot of ways i look up to him,(not just because he is so tall!!!) he is a really great person and i would be lucky to be half the guy he is.

Another reason I changed my thinking is because of all my new friends, like Sammy:),Rachel, Brandee, Alexis, Katherine, Gabby, Katia, Kendaline, Shani, Mrs.Pierce, and more (girls first ahah) then there is ???Mr.Ross!!!!!!!, MENY, MiKe, Chris, James, Jemal, Ricky, Paulino, Josue, Eli, COLE, and much more (i wish i could put Mr.Leader but hes a Boston fan!!! BOOOOOOOOO go YANKEES!!!)

(sorry if i spelled your name wrong!!! i cant spell:()

I think that this whole experience has taught me alot, in the sense that I shouldn't judge something with out giving it a fair shot.

I'm not sure if that describes it but that's what I felt about the matter.

YOU ROCK MR.ROSS!!!!!!!

This here is the wonderful Mr. Rosses picture (just wanted to give credit)

"Action!!!!!" The director shouted. He had been shouting all day, i thought he might have high colestoral or something. We all went to or positions and started the comercial, it went on for 10 minutes, i must say it was the best Gateway comercial i had ever seen in my life! But thats about the time it went all horribly wrong, first jerestatul was blinded by the fake light and feel over and remained on the floor for the rest of the shoot. Then Ephan became a rebel (this charecter was inspired by Mr.Ross:) so being the rebel he threw his box off. When we asked him why he did it he simply said, "the box made me look BALD!" We all laughed. then since we couldnt see throught the boxes we all wondered around not knowing were to go. so all in all the comercial was a FALIURE! Later on we found out that they dicided to have a bunch of people running with Gateway computers, kind of like a bunch of cattle which just doesnt make sense to me? they told us that our comercial was to meaningless.

AND thats the way the cookie crumbles

Shaniquas Story

It all happened this Wednesday. It started like a normal day, I woke up at 7:30 like always I had bacon and eggs which was Oh so delicious. When I checked the clock I realized that i was over 20 minutes late!!! i screamed out "Good God In Heaven!" and then ran to the door with my purse. when i got to work my boss asked why I was so lat? I told him that I had some bad Chinese food that just didn't sit well with my stomach. He looked at me oddly and said TMI and told me to call in sick next time. So I just ignored it and went back to work, I was working on a big project for work. See I work at the Kitty Cloths For Fat Kitty's (KCFK for short) tI was working on a sweater model for a cat of 200 pounds or larger. then lunch break came around and i only had 20 minutes so i quickly ran out the building to my favorite place to eat KFC. I ran so fast. I decided to take the subway because it would be quicker. and that is how i got stuck in the subway revolver. there for i believe that KFC although it is my favorite place to eat should pay me 2,000,000,000 for my inconvenience. I mean is it so much to ask for a little money, look what the old lady did to McDonald's and the coffee says hot right on it!!!! There was no warning on KFC chicken like: CAUTION may cause bloating or inconvenient wedging in tight spaces.

Microfiction 2!!!!!!!!!!

I came in and sat down in the chair. I was terrified what they’d pull from me this time. I sat there anxious, tense, uneasy, on edge. They called my name “Bob” I walked to them with great suspicion, and moved into the back room or hell itself. They said congratulations, your teeth are perfect.

Can Project

It happened in 1970 on a beautiful day in July. That beautiful day with the brisk air and joyful sunshine, unknown to me, would be the last day of freedom for me. Why? You might ask? Well let me tell you a story. I was walking down the street to get my groceries like I did every Tuesday but this Tuesday I was having a terrible headache and it was so bad it was hard for me to concentrate on anything at all. Well I continued through out my day anyways. As I approached the store I got this sharp pain in the side of my head, so naturally I clenched my head and shouted to the heavens, "OH LORD!!!!" and then everything went black, my world turned to darkness I couldn’t see or feel anything.

When I awoke and opened my eyes I found myself in a small room with a bunk bed that was bolted down firmly as I turned and scanned the room I noticed it's blah color. It was quite depressing. As I continued to turn I noticed I wasn’t alone! I saw a shadow behind the bunk beds. I went over to it cautiously taking each step as if it was my last, I slowly peaked around the bunk bed and saw a scared man who when I looked into his eyes it was as if I was a demon coming to eat him! He looked as though he was all alone and petrified of anything that was outside of the normal routine. I later learned his name was tom and he was a man who had been taken to this so-called "mental institution" that had quite normal people in it. So here begins my story of entrapment and unfair judgment.

Apparently when I fell to the ground that day, all the people called the emergency response team and they diagnosed me with "craziness" but I knew I wasn’t. So hear I am in this loony bin that has almost no loon's in it. Well the first day I was pleading to the doctors to let me go because I was not crazy in anyway what so ever. After hours and hours of arguing it was clear they would not let me go and had there minds set on the lie that I was crazy. As time went on it got more and more boring in my room, but I began to deal with the boredom more and more effectively. But no matter how confined they kept me I found ways to show my colors and shine out of the rest of the residents. It wasn’t till the second week things started to get inhumane; they took tom away for over 6 hours on Thursday. When he came back he had burn marks on his wrist, which puzzled me and scared me, actually it petrified me. That night all I could think about is what they had done to him? Just a couple weeks later I found out what they had done to him! They had shocked him in their "studies".

Time went by and I had been in this place for about a year now and I had experienced the electric shock quizzes, the pill testing, the mind exploring, the down right inhumane things they do to us on a daily bases. After two years I began to lose hope that I would ever get out and that I would ever enjoy a cool drink of water on a hot summers day, or the warmth of a jacket in the snowy winter. I began to miss the hope of seeing rain and flowers and just the wonderful smell of cooking in the kitchen. I began to miss freedom. I held onto memories of sweating and eating and rolling in the snow or grass and I hold on to one memory the most, and that is the memory of smiling. In this place there was nothing to smile at nothing to enjoy nothing to love or excite over. After eight years I had lost all hope and my life plunged into total darkness. Every night I would find myself weeping over the lost time and the enjoyment I had lost and the hope the drive to live that I had lost.

On the ninth year I was there I was in my room thinking about my life before I was taking and imprisoned, but as I was thinking doctor Gordon or doctor hairless as we liked to call him because he had not hair at all besides the bush eyebrows he was so proud of. Well he came for me and told me to fallow him so I did knowing the consequences of not going would be worse than anything they would do to me. He took me into a small room with just one chair in the middle it had straps on the arms of the chair. He sat me down and it felt just like the electrical tests they had done on me before, I over heard another doctor say to Dr. Gordon, "lets take it to a new level!" so there I was sweating more than a sick pig and I could get a hold of my fears, the room filled with evil spirits and creatures so dark and evil that words cant describe. My mind went wild and my fears branched out into reality. I slowly began to feel a pinch in my back and wrist and then I went dark forever.

Poem on video in class

Hey everyone! this is a poem i had to write in class and Mr. Ross wanted me to post it so here i am! everyone thought it was funny hope you do too!

I have to write a poem
I would rather go home
But Mr. Ross won't let me
And just got told how to pee
Well the video was cool
We watched it in school
I think its right
And pretty tight
But now I'm stuck
And I'm not having any luck
Because Mr. Ross will kill me
If i don't have it done in three
More on the video he'll say
And I'll say NayNay
Well the video was touching
And quite moving
I think you should be yourself
Just like Mr. Ross is himself
He doesn't let a little receding get him down
Or give him a frown
So why should we
Lets just be free!

Quote Of The Week 10/1 (rules of romance)

"Dazzel her with love and compassion! Sweap her off her feet and take her away on a fairy tale! Treasure your time with her because it flys like a bird in the winter! As long as she is happy you are happy! The beach or a beautiful nights sky is never to far to enjoy with her! Finally just look into her eyes and let her know how you feel about her!" -Jason's "rules of romance"

To The Beautiful Princess

I've heard stories of "Love" and how it drove men mad and pushed them over the edge.I still never thought that would happen to me. Well I was almost right until I meet her! She stood out like a rose and just dazzled with beauty! She just sat there until I started to talk to her and then the more and more I looked and talked to her the more and more I feel in love with her. She was just so perfect! I found myself unable to keep from talking and thinking about her! She was on my mind ever second of every moment in life. It began to be hard for me to focus on anything that didn't involve her! When I talk to her I feel as though everything will be alright and that there is no worry in the world or anything that could bring me down. When she tells me that she loves me I feel like the king of the world! But yet I still am in wonder, as to why she loves me? I'm nothing special, I'm just that guy! Nothing hot or cool but just a guy in the world. My biggest fear right now is losing her because if that were to happen I don't know how I'd be able to go on or live for that matter! She mean everything to me and I have never loved anyone as much as I love her! She is the sunshine in my day and the ray of hope in my foggy slumps! She is my everything, and I would do anything to make her happy and to see her smile.

I LOVE YOU

To Our Politicians

Dear Politicians

I so enjoyed watching you cheat to get your little law approved and how you had the ability to spin in your chair and vote 10 times in 2 seconds. it really amazes me! But Ive got to be honest with you, the thing that shocked me the most was the fact that a room filled with so called "honorable" and "wise" representatives would act like my 7 year old cousin. I mean what would your mother say? She definitely wouldn't be proud of you! i know I'm not! and to think this is how our country makes decisions, its truly appalling! And to you little ding dongs that didn't show up to the meeting i ask, What is wrong with you? Its a law that could change thousands of Americans lives, at least show up to show your support or something. You could even nap if you want to but this 3rd grade crap of cheating has got to stop! Apparently you never grew up at heart, the people put you there not to show us how fast ou can vote but how well you can! And that's what pisses me off the most about this situation. You all should be ashamed of yourselves because there is definitely nothing about you to ake pride in. And don't even go low enough to start pouting about how everyone is picking on you because you cheated! Just don't even go there! You are a bunch of 3 year olds and that's the plan fact of life! The truth hurts doesn't it!

It all depends on the deffintion of beast. I think we all resemble ducks, not to sure why yet but it would be cool if we were. Beasts are everywhere weather it be the cuddly lion or the farocious kitty cat or just a human. Some of us are the cuddly lion and just want to be nice and help out and do good. Others are like the farocious kitty cat doing nothing but what is harmful. Life is filled with different types of beasts, but we are all different types of beasts, and our personalitys diffine what kind of beast we are.
