video games and my brother

Video games is an obsession for my brother. He plays ALL the time. The problem is though, my dad cant tell him enough is enough. The reason is kind of complicated for a parent and I understand why my dad doesnt say anything. Chase gets extremely good grades, and along with that he has never been in trouble a day of his life. Chase does has friends but it just seems like he isn't interested in things that normal sophmores in highschool would be. When I was his age I was girl crazy and getting in trouble. Chase on the other hand stays up till 6 or 7 on the weekends not doing what I did, but playing video games. I mean Chase is a better kid than what I was but in the long run will it be better for him?

Connersville Spartans

So, i got back just a second ago from my old high schools football game. Despite getting rained on most of the game and freezing, i am very glad i decided to go. Let me give you a brief overview of the Connersville Spartans. They are not what a person would call good. True, they do have a coach who is one of the best guys i have ever have the priviledge of meeting, but spartans lack talent and size that would make them a good football team. For the past 7 years or so spartans have won one game a year, every year. But this year, half way through the season, they have already won two!!!! This is terribly exciting news and I am glad I just witnessed the 37 to 36 victory. Good luck for a couple more to the spartans.

My least favorite tv show

In my opinion, Extreme Home Makeover is torture to watch. I kind of liked it the first few times I seen it but after that I was just seeing the same thing over and over, just with different people. Every show starts out with people telling their sad story, then the builders come to the rescue and everyone cheers and hugs. Next they show how horrible the house is which some aren't that terrible. Then the building is on and everytime they just barely make it in time. (Seriously this happens everytime) Finally the people come home and cry and hug some more. The show is just so repetitive I can never tell if I am watching a rerun or not.

Ishmael Beah

I listened to an interview of Ishmael Beah and I heard him say something that was very true. He said most people have a romantic view of war. People don't really realize how terrible a war can be to witness and go through. I think their attitudes are reflected by movies and how it is portrayed by people who also haven't experienced such things. Ishmael tells the horrible side and as you listen you realize their was nothing cool about it.

Yankees

Yankees are definitely the hottest team in baseball right now. With a 90 and 50 record, the yankees have pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. With a 9 game lead, the sox are the closest team to catching them but its never going to happen. Yankees have the best record and baseball and i dont think its going to be touched this year. Go Yankees!!

The hardest class

For being in college for three weeks now I have come to one conclusion. Triginometry is definitely my hardest class. The class is absolutely ridiculous in how hard it is to comprehend. I think I am going to have to get a tutor but I don't know how much it will help.

Movies

I am a rather big fan of tv and movies. I basically like all types of movies except for scary movies. I never could understand how anyone likes them. I mean fear is a negative emotion right? So why would anyone pay or even want to watch something thats going to bring bad feelings to them then? I do understand though that some people do like them i just dont understand why. Personally my favorite movies are funny ones. Some at the top of the list are Super Bad, Pineapple express, knocked up, and all adam sandler movies.

Memoir

I think my memoir paper is going to be about an experience when i was younger when i ran away from home. I was probably around 5 or 6 and the day before, my mom took me to toys r us. The next moring I had the great idea that I would drive my electric army jeep there and just live in the store and could play with all the toys all day everyday. A mile or so down the road my jeeps battery started to die and fortunately my neighbor passed by and seen me. He loaded my jeep up and took me back. After the punishment and the parents calmed down things around the house started to go back to normal i realized maybe my home wasnt so bad after all
