My Hockey Team

           This year in hockey I am playing a U16 team and so far it is a joke. I was hoping to have a good intense year with a good group of kids and a good coach. My coaches have zero control over the team and the rules they set for the team hold no weight with anyone because the never implement a consequence on anyone who breaks the rule(s). They group of guys is good, a good group to hang out with and be on a team with but there's not always a drive for success. But when times are bad and we are losing a lot of tearing down happens and so kids don't take to well to criticism and in the end we end up playing even worse. Our team is kinda all over when it comes down to it. Like we'll beat the best team in the league by a lot and then lose to the worst one. Our team's moral fluctuates constantly, we will go on a losing streak for a while and get worse and worse every game cause we keep losing and getting mad at each other. And then we'll be winning for a while and we get more and more pumped after every game we win.

The New President

           This Tuesday america welcomed the first HALF black president that this great nation has ever had. I hear "We finally have a black president", or "...as Barack Obama became the first black president...", or other comments along those lines and the ones who say those things are mistaken. Say someone says we now have a black president and I say we now have a white president, we are both equally wrong. The thing that most people seem to fail to understand is the he,(Obama), is half white and the other half black. He  not our first black president but he IS our first president who is half black. Say Michael Vick had decided that instead of shooting dogs and fighting them in his backyard he was gonna run for president in 2012 and won, he would be our first black president, not the second. I just believe that the people of the United States should know the truth about him being our first half black president, not our first all black president. And by the way readers, don't give me the "being black is a state of mind" cause its BS, just thought I might want to touch on that because I've been told it before.

Mongols and their time period

Im so glad that I live in the century that I do now. Currently in my world history class we are learning about the savageness of the barbarians such as the Mongols and when we watch video of historians talking about what life would have been like for people back then I can only think to myself and see how lucky we are to have running water, clean clothes, and fresh food. Back in the time of the barbarians hygiene never took center stage or was even thought about. They didn't really bathe, brush teeth as we do now a days, or even handling food with clean hands or utensils. Also, their tactics of torture ran wild, there was even one account of a man who had been caught stealing and had molten silver poured into his ears and eyes.

My Trip to the Moon

            This year over break someone asked me what I was going to do and I told them I have no idea but I will definitely do some thing that is out of the ordinary and some thing that a kid has never done before. As I lay in my bed one morning I thought to myself and I decided that I was going to go to the moon. And I decided that the safest way to get there was taking all my launch-able fire works and attaching them to a folding chair that I had come across one day in my basement, something my parents wouldn't notice that was gone. So on afternoon in my garage I set about rigging it with all my fire power and after two days straight of hard work and 23 red bulls I had my self a makeshift contraption to get me to the moon. So one fine winter day I...
