How to Make a new friend

"Alice, how do you make--"
"Judy, you ask a lot of questions."
"Yeah, I know. I'm curious. I'm only, like what, 5?"
"Okay...carry on."
"How do you make a new friend?"
"Go up to the person with a smile and greet him or her."

"Then what?"

"Talk."
"About what?"
"About anything that's interesting..."
"What if talk about chocolate."
"Then you're stupid...."
"Hey!! That was a "if" question!"
"Damn, Judy. I'm kidding. Then, you just talk about chocolate."
"Then what happens after you're done talking?"
"Share information I guess...I'm not sure on this step. I guess make sure you have the persons name and talk to him or her again."
"Oh I see. Create a bond."
"Exactly."
"But, what if that bond is never made."
"Then your friendless."

Favorite Video game

"Alice, whats your favorite Video Game?"

"Modern Warfare, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Gran Theft Auto VI"

"Well...just choose one."

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl."

"Describe it...now."

"Alright! Sheesh. Super Smash is a fighting game between characters from different games. Such as, Zelda ( Legend of Zelda) fighting Ike ( Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn). Also, you can take pictures, build your own stage, fight online people, complete mini games, take on challenges and unlock new stuff, such as music or a trophy. Clear so far?"

"Yeah....I guess. But, why do you like that game?"

"Because! Its fun! Especially when I'm playing against people who are challenging."

"Why is it fun?"

"Because I'm in charge of the moves. I can use my creativity on that game and not have to worry about limits. Its great! You should play."

"I have before.

"Well...? It was fun, huh?"

"No...I was miserable. I was beaten twelve times by the same girl."

"Oh? Who was she?"

"....Kimberly...."

Silence....

Prejudice

"Alice, why are some people Prejudice?"
"Because they're stupid..."
"No! Really. Give me a better answer."
"Fine, Judy. They're prejudice because they don't like certain people."
"Why don't they like certain people?"
"Well...Blacks don't like whites or whites don't like Latins because of they're different race. They hate because of differences."

"Really? Just because someone is different...they hate?"
"Pretty much."

"What are the effects of prejudice?"
"Effects are hate crimes, discrimination,  and unfairness."
"Why do they have to be hate crimes, discrimination, and unfairness? Why cant it be chocolate?"
"Judy....shut up."

Prompt four: Do Athletes Really Need all that Money?

Today's top professional athletes often have salaries and bonus in the tens of millions of dollars. Do you think these athletes deserve such high  compensation?  Why or Why not?

            "All they do is dribble a ball and shoot it in the Basket…why should [they] make more than people who work 12 hours a day to support their families ( Williams, Teaireyana. Personal Interview. 27, October 2010)."  In truth, athletes make a farcical amount of money that would virtually put  teaching jobs and all kinds alike to shame. Once again we, the working class, are deemed worthless in the economic sense and thought of as mere ponds to prey on.  I believe athletes get over paid for a simple game of child's-play—some paid more than others. Most of that money should be used toward educational aspirations and important issues for our environment and communities.  The next thing you know, they'll start paying street performers six million per act a month.

            Athlete's money should just be what they get out of their endorsement deals and sports contracts. For instance, in 2004, baseball player Alex Rodriguez was paid a 252 million dollar ten year sports contract for the Texas Rangers and is now paid a 275 million dollar contract for the New York Yankees. Now, is that not enough? Clearly 275 million dollars means a serene, cozy life style. Nevertheless, the huge sums of money still rolls in. Fans bring in the extra money by buying drinks, T-shirts, souvenirs, hot-dogs, special hats, jerseys, and not to mention, the tickets when they come to watch their favorite team. So, does that mean teachers, police officers, and firefighters need fans to make nearly the same amount of money?

            Oh, please. It's not a matter of jealousy or intrinsic value, it is more of negligence. In other words, government tends to chop down from the bottom first and school budgets are the main ones in jeopardy. Two hundred-seventy five million dollars seems like a waste to give it all to one person. That type of money should be directed to communities and the much needed jobs instead. In fact, schools should be given the same amount of money that a single athlete is paid. That way, schools, mainly public ones, have enough money to provide their students with brand-new, updated books, computers, libraries, and hire more teachers, then create more classrooms for smaller classes. Also, the need of basic supplies, descent classrooms, gyms, educational fieldtrips, etc. Additionally, schools aren't the only ones who deserve that type of money. Police officers, firefighters, bus drivers, garbage collectors, street cleaners, nurses, any job that makes the lives of the average citizen bearable, should be given a higher pay. Athletes should be paid less.

            There are people who are okay with an athlete's salary and think us "anti's" are being invidious  crybabies who should just accept the idea that athletes do make more money than us. Let's take a middle- aged male sports fan for example. The Raiders are his favorite team and he is the type of person who agrees with the players' salaries. Knowing him, if given the chance to argue pay salaries, all that would come to mind is " Well, it's because they're talented and they're hard workers" or "Athletes are prone to greater injuries. They deserve the money they make." Aren't you and I hardworking, talented people? Of course! And you don’t need Einstein to tell you that anyone can get seriously injured. That just proves all the more that athletes make a ridiculous amount of money. It  almost seems like robbery.

            Ultimately, I firmly believe that athletes do not deserve such high compensations. It's ridiculous and tens of millions of dollars should be used towards educational purposes and the important jobs. In fact, there should be a limit to how much money an athlete makes. People may deem this too radical, but in the long run it will make a dramatic difference. And, if in the right hands, the extra money can be put fourth toward the needy, disaster victims, hospitals, and in general, America's citizens.

Explain Impulse Buying

"Alice, whats impulse buying?"

"Sorry, I'm not allowed to talk to you," I replied.

"Cant you just tell me? Quickly?"

"Well, in that case. Impulse buying is when you buy something unplanned. For example, you came to the store to buy a teddy bear, but instead a candy bar grabs your attention and you buy that first."

"Why would I want a candy bar?"

"I said for example, Judy"

"Oh. Can you give another example. I haven't quiet caught on yet."

"Okay, right now. You and I walked into K-mart to buy a sofa for my room, but we buy a chocolate bar instead."

"Why does it have to be a chocolate bar? Why cant it be a television...?"

"Fine, we bought a television instead."
"What if you didn't buy something unplanned?"
"Then I wouldnt be an impulse buyer..."

Explain Pollution to a Person from another Planet

This slender, green-spotted alien approached me and said, "Excuse me, but why is your world so fucked up?"
I looked at the alien in disbelief! He was serious about his question too.
"Uh...What? What do you mean by, "I held my tongue. " ...messed up?"
"I'm talking about your planet you fool. Why is it in such bad conditions."
I looked at the alien once more.
"I'm talking about greenhouse gases!
"Oh, well. Its because we use fossil fuel," I replied. Trying to answer its question to my fullest.
"Then, would you care to explain air pollution? I'm doing a project on other planets--"
"Where are you from, " I interrupted.
"I'm from Reqwrt," the alien answered.
"Okay, fair enough. Lets begin. Air pollution are toxic gases from cars, trucks, agriculture, cigarettes, and energy generation that rises to the air and causes respiratory problems, as well as effect ecosystems in a negative way."
"That's interesting, but what is it?" The alien seemed confused.
"I just explained it to you."
"....Oh."
"Well, I didn't understand a word you just said," the Alien exclaimed.
"How about this. DioujfksjfaKLFL;SIFYERUIGDADFHLFASJKGLGH"
"Now that's just mean. I didn't speak retard with you, so don't speak gibberish with me."

Life without computers

I was born with computers, so it would be pretty hard to cope with the absence of the modern computer. In fact, I think people would treat this computer epidemic as if their rights are being taken away. Who knows...
Life without my beloveded computer means no more blog post for our dear teacher Mr. Wallace. Well, of course that's just a fraction of the problem. Mainly, people would bring up social networks ceasing to exist or the use of the Internet no longer beside us to help, but cell phones have Internet too. Life without computers would be strange. It'll take some getting use to I can tell you that, but for the most part its back to square one. Information will no longer be obtainable, and much research will have to be done ourselves. Computer games will be a thing in the past, and people will start shifting towards game devices, thus higher sales in the gaming industry ( see, someone is getting a kick out of this). And its back to using the phone, letters and communication to get information across and back. The UPS will be in higher demand now.

Describe Techniques and Behavior that make a person a good driver.

Lets use a girl named Alice as our test dummy for this experiment.

Eyes on the rode:
Alice drives with her music at a reasonable level, seat belt buckled down, and has her eyes on the rode.

Driving right:
Alice drives in her own lane,slows down at a yellow light, and  doesn't put herself and others in harms way.

Don't be stupid:
Alice doesn't drink while she drives,  she doesn't text when she drives. Overall, she drives like she's expected to.

Muhahahaha. Alice knows how to drive >:3

Life Events of Kouru Eiki

My favorite author has been through a lot! I mostly know this because I'm obsessed with her work; she writes the best non-fiction stories ever! And NO, it is not about vampires and werewolves. Anyways, Eiki has gone through this specific event that has led her to write the story, " Descendant of Morimoto."  It all began on April 23, 2010. Eiki was visiting Osaka, Japan to work on her second volume Make Shift Loinla and her publisher was firm on the deadline. Around, the second week of her stay she decided to go to a nearby store that produced sugar treats. When she got back, her sister, Mina, called her. It was never clear on what Mina really said, but fans, and news reporters believe it had to do with her parents death. The Eiki family only released so much information.
Months later Eiki coped with her parents death, by  making them characters in her recent novel "Descendant of Morimoto." Making them the deceased parents of the main character, Shaunra. And I believe that Shaunra is Eiki, and all her subordinate characters are her family members dealing with the death of the King and Queen. And, to Eiki's surprise, it has made her novel a hit success in the reading charts! Her books were being sold everywhere!

Whats seperates you from others?

I'm not stupid....kidding. I don't complain about the amount of work like typical, lazy teenagers. I rather take the load full on, dividing my home work amongst my chores, and other classes. With that method, I have no problem getting the work done.
Also, I like listening to foreign music. Everyone else listens to what they're suppose to. Me, I listen to all sort of lively, attention grabbing music.
My friends are living evidence of  my desire to separate from typical, brainwashed, people. I rather take a different, much more "weird" route to my life. And note how I quoted the weird.
I don't wear a lot of makeup. None actually.  I feel that those who do have low self-esteem or perhaps cant walk out the door without it...? I don't need any sexist views on how girls are suppose to wear make-up and how some girls really do look pretty, but I just cant take them seriously.
I like playing volleyball with people who know how to. Not with beginners.  I want the game to last for a good five minutes before someone makes the mistake that earns my team a point.

Discuss the importance of pride in ones work.

I feel it has something to do with self-esteem. Others may agree, but I find this highly linkable as well as other factors. Taking pride and what you do determines what you care about. The effort put in to such masterpieces will only show if that feeling of amour-propre is truly there. Not to mention how everyone else treats it based on your confidence. Let say a common girl who wears make-up to feel good about themselves makes a poster and feel indifferent towards it. Well, so will everyone else. Pride is needed for confidence. Confidence is the indicator that you can do it. And, if you actually can do it, people will respect you and view you as a saint. Perhaps even be jealous. Its important because it reflects you in such an image. 
There is no right or wrong way to say this, but there is a limit to what you can do. And whether you reach it or not, by that time people will have already developed a notion about you.

Discuss the meaning of Diversity

Taking our environment and associating it with the simple use of diverse is quite profound. Strictly speaking, the environment survives off of diversity. Different species placed in one area makes a huge deal on how they live and its mostly beneficial. Each species ( excluded humans, they do nothing but destroy) do something differently in order to survive. For instance, a deer eats grass, and a  wolf eats a dear. Each species tends to preserve homeostasis.
Now, looking into the situation with diversity amongst humans hasn't been all fun and games. People hate each other because they are different  and assume you're this because your different. Before you ninnies utter any foolish words, I'd like to announce that not everyone acts the same. People also embrace diversity. Having a room full of African-Americans, Native Americans, Koreans, Chinese, Caucasian, Latin-Americans, Africans, Arabs, French, English, Brazilian, Russian and so fourth brings a pleasing and comforting ambiance. Diversity is nothing but a mixture of different things all living together; each having something different to bring to the community.

Explain what cooperation really means to you and why it is important

Cooperation? A word simply defined as an act or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or benefit. Cooperation has no limits as it is set, in my mind, to do almost anything. Take the unbreakable bond held by a buttress of common values. One friend is overwhelmed with constant work, so the other helps buy taking on some load, and becoming the friends little errand boy. Assuming that the other friend will return the favor, another scenario can be when they have to defend each other or, how you imbeciles put it, "watch each others back." Cooperation does not solely associate with friends, it could either be with animal and animal, dog and owner, child and mother, sibling and sibling, teacher and student, man and wild.
Cooperation is substantial just to live. Of course one cannot do everything by his or her self--impossible! The very existence of man was based off of cooperation and groups. Take the wolves for example. They hunt in packs, live in packs, play in packs, and walk in packs. The lone wolf is nothing but an hoax. In reality, I must say, you either have to be on the top of the food chain or ridiculously, strong to be alone like that. Cooperation is simply needed to complete a common goal. Its important for many due to everyone not having the 'super man' ability to do everything on their own.

Discribed how communication has changed in the last 20 years

20 years ago it was 1992. Obviously, face book, my space, and twitter weren't around during those times. Although, they did have Internet, so I guess emailing was the best they could do.

Anyways, back then mailing letters, making phone calls or meeting a person at a restaurant or cafe was the form of communication.

Phone: People would talk for hours with their boyfriend/girlfriend, family member(s), friend(s) or acquaintance for hours!

Meeting a person face-to-face: People would arrange days to talk with each other and have a nice chat. In fact, strangers had an easier time starting a conversation, than people do now. And, guess what. They even befriend the people they just met! ( No wonder my dad has a lot of friends.)

Mailing letters: Ha! For a fact, half of you single-minded people don't even know how to make a letter. You put your address, the address you want to ship it to and a stamp. Don't lick, damp with a sponge! Anyways, letters were used for people of long distances or just a simple hello or love letter.


21st Century: Our communication skills suck horribly. There are sooo many awkward people now, its hard to talk! For instance, I was talking to this teenager and he looked uncomfortable talking at the time. So, when we exchanged emails and contact information he emailed me, and he was talking up a storm! I was surprised how he couldn't do that in person. ( Guess he just didn't have people-skills). Oh! I brought up a good point! People-skills! You airheads lack that ability and have now stooped low enough to online communication. Hey, there are good sides to it, but in general teenagers and lower have had the worst, most awkward conversations of all! Oh, my bad. I meant MOST, not all. For example, when I was waiting at a stop light. A girl said hello to me and we began a conversation. She was comfortable speaking too! She wasn't giving me any short answers or hints to want to be left alone. Prime example of people skills. I assume upper class men have that ability, but under....? I think some do, and I mean some.

Discuss how conveniences change people's lives

Two years ago I was working in a trailer park performing monstrous task that would discourage even the filthiest person from living here. I was to clean up after the ridiculous, potbelly stuck-ups in the NorthWood park who had the slightest vehemence to pick after themselves! My first problem with these idiots is that they stare at me all the time; they look at me with such concentrated eyes that I begin to think their trying to see my skeletal build. Its been like that for weeks until they were use to my presence. My second problem was during festivals and holidays. Knowing those lame retards they'd leave me a mess! A couple of times they tricked me into having "snobbish time" with them. A they use for simply hanging out. I was dunked with cold gatorade and shoved into mud. Like I said, that happened for weeks and they never go tired of it.
Fortunately, I was saved by a mystical rain deer that had glowing antlers and a purple noes. In other words, something convenient happened.
I was working on a hot day, an decided to go tot the cleaning store. As I got there, I realized there was a brand new store. So, I walked inside ans it turned out to be a business recruit management.
The man greeted and I asked if I can feel out some papers. I was eligible for the job and the man said I can start tomorrow. And, guess what. I did. Screw those stuck-up tub-o-lards! I have a new job now! They can live in a pigsty for all I care!

[And that, children. Is the story of convenient stuff changing peoples lives.]
1. (noun) convenience
the state of being suitable or opportune

Discuss how a person achives fame and fortune

A person has many ways of achieve fame and fortune. Take Ham for example. She was a screaming suju fan and people recognized her-- a lot of people. Ever since then people have been using her to promote goods, and star on shows.
Also, T-san. She is an excellent dancer, so she can make her fame and fortune off of her abilities.
People can become famous for funniness, skill or if they have been heard of or born into fame. Take Stanford for instance, she has a special ability to move move her arms in anyway she pleases and not to mention Kimberly who has the ability to sing like Mariah Carey.
However, if they do have this fame they would probably turn out snobby or stay the same. To some degree, they should take in account to the people who helped them, such as their friends, fans and most of all, family.
They would make new friends and become blinded by their fortune and status. Overlooking EVERYONE!

Air Pollution

I hate air pollution. Its gives me crazy headaches! All the emission's from car exhaust and trucks is just toxic, deadly waste that is destroying our ozone layer. Which, eventually, if we continue on this way, the ozone layer will soon be gone. And the greenhouse gases will reflect MORE UV rays at us. Pretty soon no one will be able to go outside. And this all ties in with global warming. Soon climate changes will occur. Summer will last longer, and Fall, Spring and Autumn will be much shorter. Winter will be for a year? and Summer for five? Who knows. It depends on how much we screw our planet up...
I would use more energy efficient appliances. Cars and solar panels are already being made, we just need trucks to transform into something much more adequate for our planet. Also, the factories should be solar powered, and the other countries should do the same, especially China.

U.S. under attack by every single country

Late at night, the sirens will go off in every city. People will rush to their t.v.'s to hear Obama's national address. "United States of America....is under attack."
Gasp, we will!
The American people will stare at each other in disbelief, checking outside for bullet sounds and loud chants from foreign soldiers.
Our allies have betrayed us, our U.S. controlled countries have rebelled, and we are left with nothing but unprepared people, weapons, and nuclear weapons.
"Stay calm," the president reassure,"It is just a mild...." The televisions shut off, the citiy lights went off, the electricity was shut off. The sirens were all that stood.
The east cost and the west cost were the most vulnerable to their enemies attack.
Europes forces joined just this once to take out a common enemy. The Asian countries were attacking the west cost, canada had an easy target and so did South America and Mexico. Africa were using their air power to destroy the American cities.
We're all doomed >.>

Prompt three: Against the Smoking Ban in Public Areas

Across the country, public places such as libraries and museums are now smoke-free environments, and restaurants are required to have separate smoking and non-smoking sections. Some smoke-free advocates are now campaigning to ban smoking in all restaurants and bars. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or Why not?

           

It is not the end of the world when a by passer gulps in a portion of chemical residue from a cigarette. Indubitably, the pernicious gas of a cigarette can evoke respiratory illnesses, such as asthma and bronchial infections. Hence, the rise of anti-smokers who use second-hand smoke as a reason to ban smoking in public areas. Regardless, I feel that the smoking ban in public areas should not be set in place solely off of risk. Law-makers should not ban smoking in restaurants, bars or other public places because there are alternatives for not having to be around second-hand smoke. 

            Typically,  anti-smokers base their arguments on health risks without looking at the issue from another perspective. They assume that banning smoking in public areas will reduce the health risk and possibly get smokers to quit. That is highly improbable . One, smokers do not go cold-turkey after all those years of smoking. They will, most likely, find a way to smoke if all places are off limits to smokers. Two, the health risk  does not mainly settle on second hand smoke, there are other causes involved, such as emissions from exhaust pipes, obesity, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.   Surely, their motives are high in the clouds and have given little thought to reality, which makes their argument plausible but not practical. To them it is more an issue of "ban smoking, then everything will get better." That is single-mind thinking.

            Moreover, the negative appearance they associate with smokers, which merely seems like another stereotype, is unfair because not all smokers are indifferent toward other people's health. Many smokers go off towards isolated areas to smoke instead of deliberately going around other non-smokers. Banning smoking in public restaurants and bars is like banning late-night driving because people are far more likely to fall asleep at the wheel. Late night drivers will not automatically stop driving;  in fact,  they would fight against such a bill if set in place, deeming it inconceivable, and impossible to stop because of their jobs or other time consuming destinations.

            The prohibition in the 1920's did not work. Reasons for banning alcohol then were to lower crime, reduce social problems, cut taxes needed to support prisons and poorhouses, and ameliorate health and hygiene in America. On the contrary, it did the opposite of what it was set out to do.  "Even though the sale of alcohol was illegal, alcoholic drinks were still widely available at "speakeasies" and other underground drinking establishments. Many people also kept private bars to serve their guests. Large quantities of alcohol were smuggled in from Canada, overland and via the Great Lakes... Alcohol became more dangerous to consume; organized crime blossomed; courts and prisons systems became overloaded; and endemic corruption of police and public officials occurred. (1920's Prohibition)."  So what does that say about banning smoking in general and in public places?

            Since anti-smokers are intensely affected by second hand smoke's on non-smokers, they should continue on with designated areas for smokers and non-smokers. Worried about the drifting tobacco smoke? Make the designated areas more efficient so that not even a bit of smoke will work its way into a non-smokers section. Worried about outdoor second hand smoke on infants', toddlers' and/or adolescents'? Fine the smoker for inducing a potential health hazard— they will know better next time. The development of e-cigarettes is a much smarter way to smoke, too, rather than have tobacco gases filling the air.

            Ultimately, smoking should not be banned in public areas. Agreed, it will prose as a health risk, however. There are alternatives and much more effective ways to avoid second-hand smoke, since that is the main reason people are fuming about public smoking. Quite frankly, smoking will always be around just like it had been hundreds of years. Banning it now could make things worse.

Discuss the problems and causes of teenage smoking

Smoking is bad as is. The harmful effects it does to ones body is deadly. Anyone smoking would develop health issues later on and could possibly die a painfully dead of cancer, lunge disease, bronchial infections and so on. Teenagers smoking is worse! Starting from such a young age could shorten theirs in half---they'll probably live till their 40.
Teenage smoking is caused out of rebellion. Some teens even thinks it cool to smoke, and others find it as a way to calm stress. There are also teenagers who are curious enough to actually try smoking a cigarette. Which, in all cases, they'll most likely be hooked on.
Problems that they'll most likely have is trouble or painful breathing, the development of cancer and other health issues related to smoking. Also, it could damage them socially. Meaning, their friends will stop talking to them ( depends if their friends smoke as well), and their parents will be disappointed and later wanting to disown their child. Not to mention, the feeling of being a social outcast because the majority of people aren't found of smoke.

Why do we need math?

Math will always be around and is always needed even though its use has not been recognized. The buildings, platforms, cars, medicine ( drugs), everything has been made using math. There are many reasons for why we need math, and it would painstaking to state every single one of them.
Counting and receiving change, for instance, involves math. How much to give. How much the buyer gets back  and everyone wants to get their right amount of money back, so what would you need to count that? Math.
Artictutures and builders use math and science to create the very buildings and houses you see and live in every, single day. Without math, things would be out of proportion and building will collapse because someone different perform the exact measurements. So, now one part is too big, and the other too small. Thus, creating an imbalance. As state before, the building will collapse.
Determing how much medicine to use also involves math because you don't want to take too much of a drug that could possibly kill or have negative effects on your body. So, getting the right amount instead of an estimate, will ensure a healthy immune system and preserve homeostasis.

Describe how and why people choose the particular foods they eat

People go towards the familiar and occasionally try something new. People choose the particular foods they eat because they either grew up with it, its traditional, its their comfort food, they know how the food taste like ( determine if they want to it it again or not) or simply out of curiosity.
People choose such foods because they are certain on how it will fill them up and also taste. People like easting good, tasty foods that satisfy their likings. They'll continue to eat foods that will satisfy their taste buds. Proportions has no say in the issue. After all, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs.
People also try new things and realize the spices, and texture blend well with each other, that they would most likely buy or eat the same thing they have before.

What is the purpose of the internet?

            The purpose of the internet is for entertainment, information and socializing with random, unknown people. As all ways, there will be people debating about how the internet should be used. We have our extremist ( referring to people who wish to put a complete end to the internet), the book-worms (people who believe the internet should be only used for education purposes), the happy-goers ( people who use the internet for entertainment), the centrist ( people who like using the internet for entertainment and information), the socialist ( people who only use the internet just to socialize), the online-buyers/business ( people who mostly buy their resources online and create a job for themselves), and the stalkers ( people who use the internet to track someone down).

            Since extremist view the internet as evil and think it will corrupt the mind it seen. Indeed, there are people like that. Book worms view the internet as only something to receive information about whatever is educational. The happy goers view the internet as fun because it has online games, music, easy access to x-rated videos, 'free' movies, and whatever else interest them. The centrist are in the middle. They use the internet for fun and for informational purposes. In fact, they should be considered normal users. The socialist have a blast viewing the internet to hook-up with people, chat and make new friends. The online buyers view the internet as a way to receive cheaper items and entrepreneurs' view the internet as beneficial because they can create a job for themselves. Lastly, stalkers view the internet as a gadget to obsess over someone else.

When does a change in plans become necessary??

One whole month in the forest, surviving off of nothing but water and hunted dear, I become cautious of where I sleep—paranoid! I, too, was a student at City Honors, but most of us have seemed to fade away ever since the accident, which is to blame for leaving me in the utter wilderness. My plan? I don't have one yet, however. I want to reunite with society again, so to do so I must slowly make my way to human territory. In the mornings I make a list of things to do before the sun sets. Number one, find water. Two, hunt game. Three, make a fire, and four repeat. I cautiously make my way to a river, eyeballing likely predators that come my way, then I drink. I do whatever's necessary to clean and refresh. A jackal, perched on a rock adjacent to me, stares intently, observant of my every movements —almost like it's about to attack me. I waste no time at the riverbed and quickly take my leave. The jackal seems interested in human flesh, so it followed me. I knew it was behind me, and I could NOT show any fear for it will take it as a signal to attack. I stop walking. It stops walking as well. I walk north and it follows. I turn east and it climbs a tree to get a better view of me.

            I know full well that I will not  follow through on my list of task. Now, I'll have to change my plans entirely. Instead of hunting, I have to elude. There's no time to make a fire, I'll have to make do with the cold and climb up a tree to sleep. And instead of repeating the steps, I'll have to be paranoid--again! Yes, there is a change in plans, but, nonetheless, I'll still make it to my destination. The jackal soon jumps down from the tree and in front of me. I look past it, but frozen in terror. It circles around me feeling anxious. Probably thinking, "Ooo! What does human taste like?" When the jackal seem to have lost interest in me, I dashed down a clear path. The jackal ran after me, this time ready to attack.

            I wouldn’t blame the jackal for wanting to eat me, I would probably eat him. I'm starving and stranded. What do you expect?  I take out a weapon I carved out of wood, but it breaks on me. So, I have to use my hands. The jackal jumps up and scars me on the face. I then return the blow  by using my rough, scratched hands to destroy its wind pipe. The jackal runs away after seeing the power I had ( I expected more from this animal). I lost a huge amount of time in the day, so I could not fulfill my list. I guess I'll have to get use to the cold every now and then.

Describe your vision od an ideal vacation

I would be at the beach on a cool Saturday evening. Not many people will be at the beach,  mainly me, my friends and my pet dog. We will play volley ball, and go out for dinner somewhere located along the seashore.  My dog, of course, won't be allowed inside, so my friends and I will have to eat in a secluded area and feast. I return to the beach. I can imagine my feet mashing the grainy, rough and dry sand as I stroll towards the seashore. The cool ocean air blowing in my face and the calming sounds of the crashing waves. I'd stay there for about two hours before heading back to our luxurious, ocean view hotel room.

            There we act crazy! Having no consideration for the people next door to us, we scream, run around, bump against the walls, talk loud, walk back-and-fourth out of the kitchen, play with the dog and feed him, play war games with the hotel mattress's, jump from one bed to the next, crack jokes, play PS3 and Wii games, then we'd all settle down for a funny movie and munch on more food.  When it's time to sleep, one of my friends would still chatter throughout the night about the earlier events.  And, the rest of us will join in until someone says shut up and go to sleep. Before I actually drift off to sleep, I'll day dream about an even better vacation and try to incorporate what happened now into my dream.

Personal and Societal causes Obesity? Explain.

            The way I see it, obesity has no place in this world. Personal and societal problems, including other factors, have had a great effect on America's citizens and still do. Excluding the rest of the world from this, despite the fact they too have obese people, the obesity problem is greater in America than it is in other countries. Dealing with personal issues resides with the individual, and societal plays along with the stress of the media pressuring people to be so darn thin!

            Give this some though, nine out of ten people on television are thin and not overweight like most of the American population. How the media portrays bias images and has the nerve to make someone feel ugly and worthless has done a great deal on people. People beginning to think that they are not thin enough and start developing eating disorders. Most likely, they're either super then or overweight.

            Societal problems could stress a person out. To cope with the stress people tend to eat for reassurance and unnoticeably they become obese. It’s the same thing with peer pressure. Peers would pick on obese people and perhaps cause them to eat more to cope with the stress or worse. The stress and constant reminders of how fat a person is ( ..thanks to the media…)  are one of the main reasons why people fall victim to obesity.

            Personal factors could be that a person has dietary problems and cannot balance their diet well enough to be considered healthy. Also, it could be out of boredom and lack of exercise. People get into the habit of watching T.V. as they eat, so they are unlikely to notice the occurring problem. And some people could be put down so much, such as "You'll never be pretty enough" or "You'll always be fat," etc. Phrases like that cause people to want to give up and just accept their weight without virtually putting in any effort.

People of Different Backgrounds Team up

            There will always be people of different backgrounds around you and, yes, you might even clash with their views. And, you'll have deal with them in a orderly fashion. Or, that person my feel prejudice against you because of your race, sex or religion. You know! All the common hate stuff. Now, consider two people both employed in a business firm that represents high-efficient energy working on the same project. Person A would be of a Latin background and person B would be of a Anglo-Saxon background. Person A will be referred to as Jenny, and person B, Mr. Berry. I will assign different traits to each.

            Jenny enjoys reading newspapers and visiting the library on her breaks and Mr. Berry spends his time listening to music. Jenny enjoys eating asparagus and  calamari, while Mr. Berry enjoys a simple subway sandwich and a Greek salad. Jenny is reserved and vigilant. Mr. Berry is the complete opposite. Jenny is formal and dresses in dark colors, while Mr. Berry dresses in informal plaid outfits.  Jenny likes to get her work done early, on the other hand Mr. Berry procrastinates till the last minute.

            Lets say an unexpected event occurs, such as 9/11 and other life threatening events. Though, this time a guy carrying a gun followed by a bear comes in going on a killing rampage. He makes his way up to the 5th floor ( where Jenny and Mr. Berry are located) after leaving behind a bloody mess. Mr. Berry and Jenny will have to combine forces to take this guy out, and along with some extra help from their other co-workers. Remember, they have hardly anything in common, yet they are on the same page about taking this crazy man out. Or, it does not have to be a life threatening event. The event could be about saving someone. Mr. Berry and Jenny could team up to help the desperate victim. And, it does not even have to be about helping someone. They can become unlikely allies by debating an issue they're both against or for.  The list can go on and on, but this just shows how unlikely people can become allies at any given moment.

Living Outdoors vs. Living in an apartment

            Someone settled outside in an alley or under a freeway has a haul to deal with compared to someone living in cozy apartment where all their resources are at hand and easy to obtain. I'm not necessarily implying that people who live in apartments have it easy, they too have issues to face, it's just living outside is really like living in a jungle.

             Living outside is considered being homeless. Vagabonds are thought of as grungy, unfortunate, heartbreaking and annoying beggars. That is due to the lack of resources they have, the little to no housing they have, finding food is a task ( they either hunt or starve to death), and their surroundings are dangerous and risky, meaning anything can happen to them. There are not many stories reported on homeless people, but there are ones that talks about beating homeless people with a bat or being mistreated by ordinary citizens. ( They have no respect for the poor?)

            Apartment dwellers aren't what I consider lucky. Yes, they have money and a job to support themselves, but when the bills, needs and wants start kicking in they would begin to consider how much they really have. I must say, apartment dwellers are a lot fortunate than vagabonds. Plus, apartment dwellers have the luxury to clean themselves up every now and then and look presentable. Not to mention the luxury of vacationing in a far away island. ( The last two sentences were in no way meant to insult homeless people.)

Non-Fiction Prompt: Fight: Swim to the Finish Line.

I can not remember the first time I learned how to swim, but I sure am good at it. In the summer, during my toddler years, I was on a swim team. I had a coach named, Coach Lewis. Boy, he was tough. He would not let us break for even a second--it was all about winning with him. My parents did not pay to much attention to the constant yelling and scolding. They, in fact, were going for the same goal as Coach Lewis: winning. It was all about winning, my teammates knew that, I knew that, and so did everyone else. My coach, teammates and I were training for the upcoming swim meet.

During my weeks of consistent practice ( I call it training), Coach Lewis made sure to focus on our weak points. That is, Lila was horrible at breaststrokes, Joey needed to be faster at freestyle, I needed to expand my lungs better for more air since I was doing the butterfly, that type of form involves the entire body to move simultaneously. Brenda needed to work on her backstroke and sidestroke. Other than that, all four of us were good at doing the Crawl and Dog paddle. As time passed on, we improved dramatically ( remember? The constant practicing.) and were well on our way to becoming the next champions. In the mist of practicing, the time was quickly coming upon us. Soon, we would be battling against other swim teams in a building not to far from where I use to practice. I believe the place was called, Los Angles Swimming Center.

The day to compete was finally here. All those long weeks of practice were sure to pay off--I was just sure of it. The first round was the freestyle, Joey and Brenda were going to do this one. The second, Lila and I were taking on the butterfly and the third was Breaststroke, Brenda and Lila were challenging that one. The time was beginning, and the competitors had to take their place. Brenda stood on the board first, bent down ready to dive. The sound buzzed, and they were off! Brenda and some other girl was in the lead. It stayed that way until Joey dived in. He was passing everyone up and the girl from before! Meanwhile, Lila and I were doing the butterfly. I'm not sure who went first, but I know we won that one. Then the breaststroke, sadly, we came in third place because Brenda was too exhausted. In the end, we came in second. The team before us were great challengers, I suppose they were half fish and half human. I'm not sure.
I still have my trophy from all those years ago. But, its probably in the garage collect more dust. Anyways, I remember most of the forms--except butterfly!

Prompt 2: Dress to Impress

            Most private schools require students to wear uniforms. Should public school students wear uniforms too? Argue for or against school uniforms for public school students.

            When you think of a neophytic scholar donned in a formal dark-blue tie, which is wrapped around a traditional white-collared shirt that is tucked inside—with the help of a leather belt— a creased pair of Dixie's pants all topped off with a nifty overcoat to complete the formalistic mien. What overall impression would you feel of that individual? A high achiever? Perhaps a successful lad suitable to enter the high elite workforce…? I feel that public schools should adopt the uniform attire and stymie any free-dress that students typically misuse.  It would only seem proper that public schools are taking the initiative to prime their students for what their future employers expect of them, and it certainly isn't blue jeans and a T-shirt. Here, I will discuss the salubrious effects of wearing a school uniform and point out the adverse in free dress.

            Not many people, I shall say students, realize or for that matter even care, that people are vigilant of what they wear. Wearing such loose or divulging clothing often puts a sour thought in people's mind. They would either imply that the student has no moral values and can care less for them while out in public aiming to grab the opposite sex's attention or wear certain outfits  just because everyone else is sporting the 'look'. For that matter, they can simply create a phrase, summing up everything that they have seen, saying "You are what you wear." In other words, free dress indeed brings its creativity and generally shows what he or she does and does not have or connotes a deficiency in common fashion, but also brings along its sloppiness or carelessness. That is, sagging, wearing short-shorts, wearing leggings as actual pants (which in no way can substitute for pants), offensive T-shirts', high-heels that creates a sense of "grown-up," something that students are still clearly not, fishnet stockings and, that sometimes brings up the thought of a stripper, etc.

            People are disgusted with such  clothing, that they begin to imply that certain students, in their eyes, who dress vulgarly can not even have the  vehemence to dress befittingly because it does not fall under their "look." I must say, clothes should not be the basis of what people judge by, but, unfortunately, people are judging all factors: character, presentation, intelligence.  In this case, imagine a student deriving from a school of free dress in contrast to a student hailing from a school that wears uniform and both are applying for a job as an administrator; needless to say, which would you think will have a higher chance of being accepted to the job…?

            Wearing uniforms can desist the sloppiness or carelessness problems that many school officials have to point out to their students every other day. "Pull up your pants" or "You know better than to wear that outfit here," phrases such as that I have heard countless of times and am growing weary of. Moreover, it will show a sense of amenity, which will put students at an advantage of future employment. In such case, is especially needed because in today's economy jobs are becoming scarce. Not to mention it will save students time in the morning to throw on a uniform and make students look like the young adults people say they are, rather take ten minutes figuring out what to wear and worry about the next day's attire. Not only that, it will save parents money on not having to constantly buy a new piece of clothing every other month or annually.

            I'm aware of the fact that students revere the idea of self-expression. Also, I'm sure they enjoy wearing comely outfits that are well-suited for the time of year, which refers to summer, winter, spring, and fall. That, most certainly, is not a bad thing, but students have to realize that there is a limit to what they should and should not wear—also, they should consider the definite "no" clothing. Students can still flaunt their cleverness in style in addition to wearing uniforms. I'm sure someone will find a way to spice up their look somehow.

            As previously stated, public schools should make their students wear uniforms because it corrects any slipups in free dress, and makes the students feel comfortable to dress in formal clothing more often. Maybe someday public schools would also adopt  other useful ways to make their students succeed. And, most definitely, students should not stress over the idea of wearing a uniform. If anything, it should be their writing and critical thinking abilities that they're concerned with.

           

Give your Child an Allowance: For What Reason?

            Let's face it. Allowances will only work one way or the other: give your child an allowance as a reward for good behavior and give your child an allowance to teach them to be financially responsible. Though, parents who give children money as a reward for good behavior tend to bump into a lot of behavioral problems down the road.  Allowances should be used to teach kids to be financially responsible and not depend on money as a promotion for a good demeanor. There is an advantage of showing kids financial skills when they are at a young age, such that when they reach adult hood they will have little problem dealing with their money. This paper will state the benefits of giving allowances as a financial lesson and how it should be carried out.

            Not all parents give allowances to teach good money habits. Instead, money is used as a reward to bolster favorable behavior. Immediately, there is a problem with that method. By giving a child money, there is no guarantee he or she will change their bad behavior over night. Over time, that method will induce the child to beg for more money after they have finished frivoling away the money they once had. In reality, once you used up all your money, you cannot just ask for more. Moreover, it will be blinding children from knowing the difference between wants and needs once they spend their money towards consuming goods.  That can cause children to develop bad financial habits. A good way to get rid of bad behavior and get good behavior out of it, is give a child consequences when they act out. So, in the future, they will be discouraged from practicing bad behavior.

            Giving money as a financial test works wonders on children. Children will know how to budget their money, making them aware of how much their spending and realizing when they need to stop, which is a good habit as a future adult. Furthermore, they will develop the tendency to save. And when that happens, they will either have more money than they originally had and are able to buy more expensive items, such as the PS3 or they will continue to save until they have reached a desirable amount. Parents will not monitor every single thing their child does. So, this will be preparing them for any money situation they might face. Overall, it will teach them to be financially responsible.  

            Knowing when to give a child independence may seem difficult, but financial wise it is helpful. It does not mean that a parent should let the child have utter control of what they buy. Rather, the parent will be monitoring what the child buys. For instance, a child goes shopping with his or her parent and they are given money to spend, it is important for  the parent to make sure their child is not buy anything dangerous or inappropriate. This will help parents carry out the next step after giving the money.

            Inescapably, allowances should be used for financial responsibility and not given as a reward factor for it will only promote bad spending. In short, all children should be given an allowance to see if they can stand on their own financially or if they need help.

The Dinosaur Daughter

|1:00|I heard noises far off in the distance. I thought it was him. I was finally going to meet him--my father. He appeared behind a tall bundle of Everest trees; I walked towards him, showing no kind of emotion out of fear that I will give my fathers whereabouts away.
"Father," I called.
Leeteuk emerged out from behind the trees and greeted me with a gentle roar. That was the signal for me to transform and leave my human body for the rest of the night. I now took the figure of a dinosaur.
"Alice, I have much to show you," he said.
"Father, will  mother be joining us?"
Leeteuk fell silent. "Your mother does not know how to close her legs, so BoA will not be here."
I knew what my father meant, so I made sure never to bring her up again. Unlike my father, I was not a full blooded dinosaur, so I only had one second left till my transformation wore off, and it did. I was now an ordinary human figure. My father hated that I could not keep my form long enough, but he soon grew use to it and this time gave me a growl instead of lecture of not trying hard enough.
"Father, I must go. People are coming," I warned.
Leeteuk nodded and I quickly left. A pick-up truck drove past, then  the driver honked the horn.
"Is that yo daday?"
 I ignored the man; he was obviously southern and his English sounded funny.
"I said," he began, " Is that YO daday?"
This time I turned around; the driver was a middle age white man.
"No, he's not," I replied, annoyed.
My father heard what I said, but took no offense to it for he knew that I had to play a normal life as a human.
"Then why's he damn t'all?"
Then man was drunk, and must have believed that Leeuek was human. ( Even drunk people should know the difference between a tall ass, dinosaur and a puny, human.)
"Just drive off old man, nothing concerns you," I replied.
"Why you little..!"  The man jumped out of the car, ready to strike. 
My father was about to reemerge from the trees, but I assured that I could handle this drunken-bastard.
I pulled out a gun, and shot the man in the head.
"Where should I take him father?"
Leetuek bowed his head, and wanted me to follow.  I dragged the dead body to the woods and dropped him where my father told me. As a scientist, I had to be careful of what type of trouble I got into. So, I immediately left once I brought the body to its destination.
My father gave me an O.K. look and left. I waved him off and walked back acting as if nothing happened.
|2:45 a.m.|
I sat back at my desk, thinking of what the future will hold for me. I know that someday I will leave this life behind for good and join my father. Once again, I waited patiently for him to return.
I knew he was coming, I just did not know when...

What kind of Doctor would I be....?

I would be a veterinarian

My job would be slow and ordinary, but fun on certain occasions when someone brings in  pet. On weekends the office would be polluted with phone calls and people would come in trying to get in contact with one of my employees. I like busy days. More money, more customers, more benefits. All excellence. I will serve the peoples needs well,  due to their loyalty. At the end of the day, before I lock up, there would always be someone bringing in a pet at last minute.

Twenty Feet-tall and still Livin'!?

In reality, if someone was THAT tall, they would be dead already. Though, since this is an "if" question, why the hell not.
If I was that tall I would be horribly miserable. I would stick out like a soar thumb! People would eye me everywhere I go, and stupid, lame kids would make fun of my height. I would be considered "special" because of my abnormal growth, and soon people will treat my height as a disease. They'll start having special places for me. "Ma'am, would you step over here for a moment" or "Ma'am, please use this". It would be embarrassing and I would feel aloof to the rest of the people around me. I would have custom made houses, cars, clothes, shoes, jewelry, everything! Con artist would try and make money off of my dilemma, or film me as they act like it is an animal show on the Discovery channel. How awful. I would never want to be that tall.
Well...at least I would make it in the Guinness World Records.

Describing one thing you're really good at

I have many things I'm good at. Out of those many, I am good at drawing. Curves an lines are all rudimentary to me, thus I seek a higher learning in art. I draw anime figures and manga drawings quite well. I have a list of drawings that can form a portfolio of works I have done. I'm really proud of them too, I plan to take art classes next semester to make myself even better!

<--- Yourichi, one of my favorite anime characters from bleach!

Nicotine Sandwich

I would create a smoker sandwich, so that we no longer have to breathe in second-hand smoke. Smokers would be happy too, I guess. Well, if they keep eat my sandwich  and continue to do so they would get fat, but if they go back to smoking they will develop different forms of cancer. Hmm...Oh, well. Good for us, bad for them.
I would start my sandwich by smoothing mayonnaise and mustard all over wheat bread, then I would layer ham and turkey slices over the mayonnaise and mustard. Following that procedure, I would add on cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Last, but not least, the nicotine! Never, never, never sprinkle  on to much nicotine; side effects will develop and I will most likely be sued. So, just a pint.
I would sale the sandwich specifically to smokers and charge them $1.45 without tax.

Think of the Time You Won Something

When I use to play softball, I given each game all I have got. I specifically remember pitching out an entire team before in different innings, and was highly praised for that. In a particular game, which was the last game of the season, my teammates and I were going up a group of muscular, stern-looking, "women". We were not discourage, rather we were worried about their powerful hits and their use of deceptiveness. The first girl approached the base, I told in field to come closer just in case the batter decided to hit a bunt, and out field to back up just in case the batter was a "hard hitter." I swung with power and skill; luckily, I got the first batter out easy, but when I got to the fourth batter, two bases were filled and I could not afford to swing another ball. Each batter tried tricking me with their bunt stance, but it didn't work. I still threw hard just as I have before, and it turns out they were caught off guard and striked out. That was the only thing that was keeping my team from losing. It continued this way throughout the rest of the game, and, to my surprise, we lost. Turns out one of my teammates made a bad move on 3rd base. They thought they could make it home, but were striked out instead.
Though, we received a trophy in appreciation  for our hard work in the game. :)

Which super power would you like to have: invisibility, super strength, ability to fly?

All three! If I was invisible, I would not have to worry about paying for anything. For instance, I walk into a store and turn myself and whatever else I grab invisible. Then, I can easily sneak away with free items or food and blame it on the person next to me or leave people confused and pondering.
Someone would say, "Who could have stolen this? I was standing RIGHT here!"
Fools! They will never find out who!
Now, it is a whole other story when it comes to super strength. Instead of bashing some persons face in just because I despise him or her, or stealing items for my own benefit or become a superhero and fight crime, I will use my powers when needed or for fun.
"In recent news, a seventeen year old girl has moved Mount Everest to Las Vegas, Nevada"
Yup! That was me!
If I had the ability to fly, I would use it to get out of traffic, get to a destination quicker, and, hopefully if I am quick enough, dodge of out harms way. Oh, what the heck. I could even steal again.
The same person would say, "Okay, what the fuck! I was standing RIGHT....HEEERE!!"
Yup, Im that greedy. Hee..hee

Teryn

 I have not seen my cousin Teryn in a while, so I would like to spend time with her at a nearby Jamaican res- truant. I would catch up on certain things and reminisce about the time we were little, and how Fluke ( my cousins' dog) used to hump us on our backs. I would not bring up my Aunt, since she has passed away, instead I would ask what she has chosen as her college career and ask if  she has any tips for my college choices.  Then, I would invite her to an opera, after that I would invite her to an eloquent dinner.
My cousin is always doing things for me, so it is time I returned the favor. =]

Visit the moon

I would love to visit the moon because of the magnificent stories I have heard ever  since Neil Armstrong landed on the vast surface of the moon. I was told that the gravity on the moon was less than that of Earth's. I would like jumping around and staying in midair for 5 seconds before I come down. Also, the chance to leave mother Earth and REALLY look at my OUTSIDE surroundings. Seeing the stars and neighboring planets at a distance, while everything around you is a pitch black, never ending, vacuum is something I realy want to see!

Baby Dragons

Centuries ago, there once lived  a pack of ruthless brutes, known to destroy all specks of humanity, has lived among the ancient Amurlas. The Amurlas abhorred the "mnyama" (Swahili for beast). Each night  warriors of  Nyurt tribe traveled long distances towards the Amurlas to commute their minds; arguing that a small, indigenous group of "Baby Dragons" ( originally, the name was Dragon of the Lands) were living amongst them in peace, such that they have created a human-beast like bond. Immutable, the Amurlas minds were fixated on dragon's fire-breathing, rage and destruction. Having said that, it seemed to the Nyurt, that the Armulas were not seeing both sides of the mnyama. It was decided that the chief of the Nyurt tribe will willingly walk into the fortress of these so called "beast". In the year of 160 B.C. the Nyurt's chief, Azize ( means powerful), followed through with his decision to walk right into Dragon territory, along with a baby dragon by his side for protection. The Armulas did not see this as a chance to attack the dragons while Azize distracted them; amused, they assumed that the chief's perception has been fooled and he will soon cease to live. Dragon's slowly approached the Nyurt's chief with curiosity, the baby dragon is what caught their eye, wondering if she was food or another rivaling dragon. The chief called for one of his underlings in attempt to make an offering to the dragon. You see, in the Nyurt's eyes dragons granted anyone immortal life as long as they make a sacrifice, but to the Armulas, dragons only took life away, thus  dragons should be destroyed. The dragon was benign and decided to take Azize's offering; the Armulas were flabbergasted that the dragon did not breathe fire or gobble Azize the moment he became vulnerable!  From that point on, the Armulas were starting to see a new age of dragons, no longer just seen as fire-breathing beast.

Spring

Spring time is the best! Though, in California weather is an issue, but that still does not deter me from liking spring. During the season, flowers bloom and the sunshine's radiantly. It has a nice peaceful, yet jittery feeling of energy that can be used to play a nice game of fun. The temperate temperatures are the best; It is cool and warm at the same time and the is no need for a heavy jacket.

Survivor Show

I would be on the survivor show!
I would form alliances, stab people in the back; struggle to go on platform to the other, and argue with fellow teammates and the leave the weakest behind for dead. Muscles, determination and sheer will is needed on my team, and those who do not qualify will have to take a hike! The first week series will contain disgruntled members who hold a deep distrust for outsiders. Our first competition would be climbing ropes over a large body of fire! Who ever slips will be saved by a safety net 3 feet elevated above the ground, but that will also mean that they're up for elimination. So, the game begins!
My teammates and I rush for the ropes, climbing like our lives depended on it. In the first ten minutes, Joey and Ursala fell, then Hafiz wenr down with them.  Finally, the opposing team, Equals three, has lost most of their members and are now down to one. The other team is gone completely; now it is just Susan, Jerome, Charlotte, me and Sana left for the taking. I see Jerome persuading Equals Three to give up while they still can, and Charlotte and Susan are making alliances with three members of Equals three. Sana is hanging on for dear life, and I look on worried and annoyed as the other teammates loose focus--we need to win!
"Sana, tell Jerome to shut the fuck up and  concentrate on hanging on; tell Charlotte and Susan to stop making dumb alliances and focus!" I said bitterly. Sana passed the message on.
Jerome looked at me with such hate that he willingly let go of the ropes, which jeopardize our lead. Now, we were tied with Equals Three. It is just a matter of time before someone lets go of the rope.  Five minutes has gone by and Charlotte has let go, simultaenously so has three members on Equals Three. My arms were becoming weary and no longer able to hold myself up, but I pushed on. Five more minutes passed, and now all of Equals Thee was gone. Oh, how happy I was! Sana, Susuan and I, as well as my team, were safe from elimination.

Living Room Madness

I enjoy my living room due to its massive leeway and how the windows bring in so much light. In the mornings, evening, and nights my living room still holds its character of awesomeness! I say it knows how to look like at anytime of day. The best feature in my living room is the grand piano; the caramel-brown, traditional, wooden, piano forms the emptiness in the room into a modest area for the upmost piano players of all times. I can not help but spend most of my time in the living room, and as a bonus, my living room has a fireplace! Something suitable for the coldest winters, as someone plays a soothing melody as the time passes by. The wooden floors have their effect and so do the walls--the whole living room consist of excellency!

Coaches Rule

If anything, I would be the coach. While I'm on the job I would think of crazy strategies to defeat the opponent and crush them! I would shout, stare evilly at the opposite team, throw papers on the ground out of rage, create unnecessary tension between the other coaches, give my boys pep talk, and what else...? Ah! I almost forgot! A championship ring for my culminating position. I have two quarterbacks, both of them equal in skill. Though, one of the main quarterbacks has gone limp after the first inning, so I would use Aussie.
Everything else? Trivial. I would mainly stand on the sidelines and wait for the game to end. All the while eagle-eye plays my boys leave unnoticed. Oh? Aussie missed the throw?! I would shout at them and bang their helmets if any of them did that!
"Get it together!" I'd say.
"But coach, they're killing us out there!"
My goodness, my boys would be hopeless. That is what the pep-talk is for, even though half of would be irrelevant to the game. Oh, well--it still works.
