Heritage
What is heritage? I think heritage is like where you come from and what your background is. That doesn’t make you who you are though necessarily. I t can but not always. It just explained how our background and back family, like your great gma and gmpa and great great, etc. was. I don’t really get what they mean in the second quote so we won’t talk about it. It was by Branch Rickey. I don’t really like to write about this I’m just going to throw that out there. Just talking about heritage and bla, bla, bla, not my favorite. So I’m going to get back to class now.

Impressing
I don’t think you should have to do anything to impress someone you should just be yourself. If you are not being yourself then you are just putting on a face. What would you say to that person? I think you should just wing it, and see what happens if anything you will look like an idiot. You can always fix it some how. What would you want the person to know about? It is up to you. Like for me I want them to know everything so that way if I go on a date with that person it won’t be a shock to them when I say I have two kids. So I think it is better if they know a lot about you. You need to have a good conation before you try to make a date or something like that. The only part that suck is when they are already in a relationship and you can’t be with them.

Heritage to me is your ethnic background, your own business is.
The quotes to me are saying you live by your own rules and teach our children how to be a family to me that’s what the first one is saying.
The second one is saying to me is you don’t even know your heritage because no one really cares to learn there own background, to know what their even about. My heritage I really don’t know how to explain. I can’t really call what I am going to leave behind because it’s just going to happen when it happens. So when it comes I will be more satisfied.
Oh my heritage is Hispanic, with music (can’t live without it), getting married, graduating high school, and a whole lot more fun, boring,

My New Life…
On Monday I went to court and I got put into foster care. I had to tell my mom goodbye along with my little brother and dad. I was in tears the whole time. I realized that might have been my last time with my family. It has been hard and I miss them. Before court my first foster home fell through. My caseworker had to take me back to Vantage Point until we could find a placement for me.
After court I was in tears I felt like I could just die and it wouldn’t make a difference to anyone. I got checked into Vantage Point again. Then my caseworker called me and told me that they might have found me a new placement, and they would come talk to me. Later that night my foster parents came to talk to me and see if they wanted to take me home. They came and talked for what seems like forever and decided that they would ask my foster brother and sister what they thought.
Within an hour they decided they wanted me. They told me that they wanted to have me go home with them and they wanted to keep me as a foster sister. After that we went to IHOP for dinner, as a family. I went home and we sat up my room it was the funniest thing I have ever seen: my bed kept falling apart and it was the funniest thing ever. I got to sleep around 11 and I was up by 5:45. It was really odd at first I wasn’t sure what to do or how to act. I came to school and I felt like I was at home everybody was talking to me. Since then I have been there and things are going great and I’m glad I was taken in by them. I have a cell phone, my own room, and they take me out and do stuff for me.
But I will always have one home and its here with all of my friends and my support at SUMMIT!!!

So yesterday I got to go on a field trip to the collage and it was pretty cool and all see what they were trying to do was get us to go to that school.
Which was fine and all see there were telling us about their programs that they have there and all that kind of stuff we had about 5 different speakers that were there.
See they all talked about different thing like about the school and all the programs and the classes that they offer and all that oh and then about the heath cares that’s on campus.
There was my favorite one was this professor he was telling us about love and all that.
See that’s my kind of stuff I love talking about love, it my kind of thing so I was happy but see I was the only girl with all boy so every one else was like whatever but I learned a lot about love.
And then there was about all the filling that we get and why we fill that way and to me it was just amazing to me I wish I could of stayed and learned more.

Heritage
Heritage is what you were given, who you are, and what you are. What you get from your parents, grandparents, etc. is heritage no-matter what it is. I think that what you are is partly heritage because you might do something different or abnormal just because of heritage.
I think that what you are is partly, if not completely, heritage. My reason is you don’t get part American just from living in America. You aren’t American just from being accepted as one or from living in America for very long. Someone is only American from being born in America or being a descendant of someone who was born in America.

I think women can do anything that guys can if not more. It doesn’t matter if it is a boring job or a dangerous job. I think it is a good thing that women are brave enough to do the dangerous jobs. I don’t think there should be only guy’s jobs. Because if a guy can do it then a women can do it too; maybe even better than a guy. There are some women coal miners in Price. Some women think they are no good if they don’t have a good life, but I don’t think it is true. The women can have a great life even if they don’t get married. It doesn’t make the women any less if they don’t get married. If anything they can do more if they don’t get married at a young age.

If I was to win a million dollars I would donate 5 million dollars to the feed the children fund. I would want them to use the money fair and provide them with food, money, clothes, and shelters. I want them to build them a school so they can learn and have some sort of education so they can know how to read and write.
With the other 5 million that I keep I’m going to buy a huge mansion for my parents and I’m also going to buy them a car. Then with the rest of money I’m going to buy me a nice little house and a whole bunch of clothes and shoes and also a car. In my opinion I think money is the best way for charity because, money can buy anything from clothes, food, and a house and also medical attention if they really need it.

First impressions
Well first of all I have a crush on Jessica Alba and this aint like no little third grade crush. No you guys wont understand. I like love that lady. I love her so much. I just want to marry her. I would not do anything to impress her she is the one that needs to do something to impress me. If I can just go up to her and tell her to things I would tell her that she is the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world and if she gave me a chance I would make her the happiest girl in the world. Something that would make a good impression would be dressing nice and looking good and also smell really good. But I cant go out with any girl because in my opinion girls are liars unfaithful and don’t have respect for themselves so I don’t think they deserve respect that’s why they get treated the way they do. Besides, I’m not trying to go through all that drama. There ain’t no girl going to tell me what to do.

Matthew asked us if we have ever had a dream of something that we know we could never achieve .
And I said no I have never had one of those dreams but I have had dreams about some thing that I won’t and I know I can’t have it.
Like when it comes to love or like a crush. See there is this crush that I have had for a while know and nothing has happened and probably never will witch is fine and all.
But see I have dreams that he likes me or that we are dating and that’s all I have dreams about.
How dose it fill? It sucks because when you like some and you know that nothing will ever happen just is a put down in so many ways. See I like people for there character not looks or all that other stuff. I like a person for how they are and what they stand for and of coarse the way they are with words and how they treat me and others.
See I’m not too hard to please that’s all I’ve to say on this topic.
What about you have you had a dream that you cant achieve ???

Impossible Dream
I would probably have to say an impossible dream I have would be to change my parents. They have never been there. They are compulsive liars and careless people. My mom has never mentally been there you know? She is a huge alcoholic, pill popper and relies on guys to make her feel better. She never was all the way there and now she is worse off then ever. She is going into rehab again but it won’t work. She never cared what I did or when I did them. I could do whatever I wanted which was good at the time but now I’m paying for it. She lives in a trailer park with her abusive boyfriend now. I sent him to prison and she told me she wouldn’t take him back. He came back and she went away with him and left me to fend for myself. My dad lives in Oregon and doesn’t ever try to see or talk to me. Maybe once a year he will try to get me up there and try to give me money for love. They both are losers. I wish I could make a difference to them and help them but they don’t want help and they never will. So the impossible dream would be for my parents to change, be good people, and just care about me and be in my life. That will never happen and I will be lucky to have them stay alive for the next 5-10 years. It sucks sometimes to not be in control of changing someone. I live with my aunt and uncle now though and it’s going good! Who needs parents right? …I’m not very good with sarcasm. Haha peace.

My dream was to be there for my kids when they are born, but that didn’t happen. I got put in DT when my daughter was born. I was on the way to the hospital, and I went into the emergency room to go to here room. There were two cops waiting for me in front of her room. I got arrested a foot in front of the door of where my daughter was getting ready to be born at. The cops were so disrespectful to my family because they made a big scene in the hospital; They slammed me against the wall and cuffed me. I felt like a bad father because I couldn’t be there, so I just didn’t know what to do and I still can’t live it down. It tore me down for a long time and every time I think of it makes me fill bad and like crap. So if my daughter ever asks me “was you there?” I’m going to have to tell here no because I got arrested for something stupid.

What is the point of just saying the good things about yourself when you are trying to spark up a bigger relationship? If it’s going to be a short relationship, and you know that, then just the good things about you is good, but if you want it to be a long relationship, you should say the good things about yourself and the bad things within bounds.
I don’t like to have short-lived relationships, so I like to tell people things or let them know over time so that they get used to me. I would let them know if I like them and let them have the option of making the relationship bigger.
At the beginning of any relationship, there is immediately some trust and relationships usually need a lot more trust. I’m not good at giving that trust, so I don’t get to deep into the friendship of others. I feel like going any deeper without giving them more trust would be like invading their privacy.

My Plans for the Future..
Well, my plans for the future, first of all, are to graduate highschool and get out of the system. Second, I want to go to college and get my bachelor's degree in psychology, then go to graduate school and get my Ph.D. I want to hold studies where i analyze humans and animals behaviors. Yes, that means using rats testing new medications and what. In becoming a research psychologist, I will most likely teach at a prestige college, where I will teach all my theories and what not. Also, I plan on getting married, but never having kids. Kids aren't my thing. Oh and today is my birthday, I am officially 18 years old. Yeeee ! Oh and tomorrow I'm going on a home visit, tooo excited :)

Today is Friday and I am so excited for this weekend. I get a home visit. Yay! I moved up to level 2 in my program. I get more visits and phone calls, soooo that makes me happy. Plus, that means I’m closer to going home. I miss my family and friends so much. I hate my program. I hate school. I hate it here. I absolutely hate it. I can’t wait to go back to my real life with my real friends and my real family. Next week I’m going on trek, which is a backpacking up the mountains. Ehhh, it sucks, but atleast it’s only for 2 nights. Mmm, well anyways I’m listening to this song called Bullet and a Target and it’s my favorite song right now. It’s just about how we put ourselves in bad situation and so does our society. Well, I’m going to go peaaaaaaaaaaace!

Sad music
Why does sad music help when we are sad? Why do we listen to sad music? I think we do because it makes you feel better. At least it makes me feel better at first. When I’m sad I listen to sad music then really happy music. When your listening to sad music and they are singing about exactly what your feeling, it help you realize your not the only one feeling like that. They have just the right things to say and describe how you’re feeling. When you get all the sad music and feeling out of the way, you can move on and feel better because you know your not alone.

Why do we listen to sad songs?
I think we listen to sad music because we want to know that there is at least somebody out there that fills the same. It can also be that we don’t want to be happy for that moment too. We listen to sad music to keep us in the mood. Some people just want to fill sad or just want to listen to some sad songs. I listen to sad county song when I’m sad because you can relate to it and it isn’t like the blues because the blues is just depressing to me. Some Times County makes me fill better but not all the time. Like a lot of the times when I’m sad I don’t what to be cheered up. I want to stay sad for that moment because the next day I will know what to do so I don’t make the same mistake. Tell me why you listen to sad music.

I can’t wait till they let me go on a home visit for Thanks Giving. I really miss my family and friends so if they give me a home im going to be really really happy. Im going to eat some good turkey home made baby. Well changing the subject im in a bad mood because my tracker called my case manager. So my case manager got mad at me so then I had to do a 2page report it sucked. Then the other day I got in a fight so my tracker made me go to her dad’s restaurant and wash some filthy dishes. When she finally took me home she called one of her friends and she told him I was going to rake his leaves. I kind realize now that it was all my, fault becuase I was being stupid I was having a negative attitude. I was just having one of those days when im just mad at the whole world. And it is not even that it’s just that I can’t trust noone because no one in our program kno how to keep a secret. Shes bin nicer to me lately because I changed my attitude up a little so I hope I go home by January well I hope for the best and expect the worse.

Brave
In the dictionary brave means courageous and courageous means brave. I think in my words that means someone or something who will stand for what they know is right no matter what the consequence would be. They do what they need to do to make it known that they will stand up for the right. I would say you don’t have to announce yourself to be brave but in a way you do. I think brave also means just being strong in situations that aren’t so easy to be strong in. I think there are a lot of brave people that go to school here at Summit. I would actually say all the students here are brave because well you have to be. 99% of the kids here are in some kind of group home, program, or foster and you have to be brave to go threw the crap we go threw. There are some very brave people here!

When I go on my home visit for thanksgiving I’m going to bring back my cowboy boots, and my hat so I can wear them. I don’t care what people think because I’m just being me, and I think everybody should just be themselves instead of a front for school. Also when I go on my home visit I’m going to see my daughters, and I get to play the Greek game that I misted last year. I get to see my fat dog too which that will be nice, and I’m going to go noodleing too, but it is going to be really cold. Which if you don’t know what noodleing it’s when you go in a river and fill for a hole at the bottom of the river. As soon as you find a hole you stick you hand and arm down the hole and if there is a catfish in the hole it will get your hand and try to swallow it. Once that happens you pole you arm out of the hole and you should have a big catfish on you arm. It is also called redneck fishing.

As soon as you find a hole you stick you hand and arm down the hole and if there is a catfish in the hole it will get your hand and try to swallow it. Once that happens you pole you arm out of the hole and you should have a big catfish on you arm. It is also called redneck fishing.

The blues serve a sad purpose. We listen to sad songs because they remind us of somebody or something. In some way sad songs make us feel better inside. I listen to happy music when I am sad because I wouldn’t want to listen to something that is going to keep that sad subject in my mind and keep me feeling down. I would rather listen to something that is going to cheer me up and make me feel good and happy. The songs affect me by making me want to go out and do something they take my mind off of the sad thoughts and put good and happy ones in my head. Listening to sad songs is going to keep you depressed for a minute and if you listen to something that is going to keep tears out of your eyes then cool.

The Blues
I don’t know what the purpose of the Blues is but the reason I listen to sad music, like the Blues, specifically is because I get down sometimes and sad music get me thinking about my troubles, their troubles, and comparing them.
I find that when I listen to sad music I stop thinking about how horrible my life seems to me. I usually find that when I compare my troubles to theirs, theirs come on top of mine. Partly because their sadness was deep enough to sing a song about it to let the whole world know about why the person is so sad.
I usually listen to hard rock when I’m mad because it seems to me that they’re mad also and I can ‘blend’ my anger with theirs. I find sad songs better at these times because I usually stop being angry when I stop thinking about myself.

1 Million Dollars 11/14/08
If someone just gave me a million dollars but had to give half to a charity, I obviously would accept the money. I would give the half a million dollars to the boys and girls club of Utah. In accepting the money they would have to upgrade their facilities. Also hire more foster homes for the kids who can’t go home. I would also ask that they feed as many children as possible. Show them a real holiday and participate in activities.
With my half of the money, it wouldn’t be too spectacular. I would simply buy a house and put the rest in a savings account. I would give my kids the life they wanted and the life I never had. I would take care of my family and not let us fall.
After a couple years of interest coming back to me, I would pay cash for a brand new car. I wouldn’t have to pay for it monthly or weekly because the car would be paid off.

See we got asked if those how say that racism is bad and that there against it if they might be the ones that are the racist ones.
And you see to me that is true and all that. See when I was in Russ’s class he was talking about reactions that people make and one of them was this. And that’s when guys hate gay guy’s and they are all I HATE THOSE GAY GUY’S and they freak out about it that they are most likely to have more tough about being gay then the actual gay guy him self.
So tell me do you know someone that is judge mental and they say I hate people that are judge mental well that’s the same thing as this whole gay guy thing.
So tell me. What do you thin? Do you think that its true or not?……

$10 million!!
I won $10 million!! Yes! I think if did win $10 million I would donate half of it to Primary Children’s hospital or just some type of medical place because I think we need more money in the medical business. I would want to save about four million in the bank and get lots of interest and have the other million for my house and car and stuff. I would put a motocross track in my back yard along with a yard and have like 5 motorcycles and four wheelers! I would get a pool, slide, and a pass to Disney Land! Oh and I would have a roller coaster in my house! I would get a huge walk in closet of shoes and clothes and jewelry and things like that. I would be in heaven! I would get a Toyota Tacoma, black and like a 4 in. lift. I would help my family and some friends too, don’t want to be greedy ya know?

Being Defensive
When someone is really defensive about something they usually did it. So when he says the ones who are denying being prejudice so much are usually the ones to be prejudice, it makes sense. When you deny something so much and try to hide it you can tell. They get really defensive and try to make the point across to you that they didn’t do it. That isn’t always the case though. There are times where your just so surprised or taken back on the fact they asked you or thought you would do something like that, that you just get defensive or even mad sometimes. So it goes both ways I think.

If I got $10million dollars then I would donate to a charity that benefits to all around the world for poor people.
But I would want it to be used more for children more than it would for the adults. The half that I kept I would throw some of it in to stock marketing about$1million.
Then I would get a new car probably named a B.M.W.
After all that I would give some to my parents like $2million.
Then I would give the rest to my brothers and sisters split equally. No money is not the best charity to me, to me love is the best charity. Were just in a world were money runs everything.

Well first off lets talk about reading and how it can be a tool for your memory.
The second entry is really to me saying reading is knowledge, so basically both quotes are to me saying the same thing. Yes I agree that reading is important. I agree because reading is knowledge, and knowledge to me is power. I think we read so we can improve our reading, and our writing. The point of fiction to me for our imagination and escapism. What I think makes a good book is what we think and ourselves. So it goes back to our imagination. It helps create a better imagination. I think we spend so much time reading in English is because our teacher makes us and to learn better grammar.

If I won a lottery for 10 million dollars, and I had to donate half to a charity it would be to MSAA. It stands for Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, and it’s a great organization in which they help people who have MS and help find a cure for it. MS is a disease of the central nervous system and about 2 and a half million people through out the word have it. My mom happens to be one of them. I love her so much, and I hate to see her go through all the horrible stuff she goes through. Finding a cure for MS would be one of the greatest things in life I could possibly ask for. Not only would I help my Mom but millions of people out there struggling with this disease. If I can’t actually find the cure, at least I could help with the cost. To think that my money helped with finding the cure would be unbelievable, and that is why I would donate to MSAA.

I would donate half of it to a black charity. I would want the money to be used for clothes if the kids need them. Whatever the kids would need like food so that they wont starve at home. If I don’t do that then I will give it to a boys and girls club so kids who don’t have a mom or dad to go to after school or have any money to go do anything. Then they can go do that and have fun with kids that are there age.
And with the half that I get to keep I would buy my family what they wanted and needed. I would get my mom a car. I would get me a car, a house, and every thing that I want to get or need. But before I would get my family whatever they needed so that they cant ever say I didn’t do any thing for them. What ever is left over I would put it in a safe and save for later then spend it when I run out of money but that would never happen cause I got stacks.

Wisdom and Knowledge
I think difference between knowledge and wisdom is how you look at it. Knowledge is just pretty much facts and numbers and wisdom is how you use the facts. Wisdom kind of comes with age I think. I think how you decide to use what you know is wisdom. Some one who is wise knows how to handle the knowledge. They know facts and street smart but also knows how to use it and how to bring it out. How you gain knowledge is just listen and learn from everyone and everything around you.

Halloween
See I do like Halloween and I like that it’s fun. I like to scare people and I do like to dress up when I can.
But you want to know what I hate is when you go out and you get all dressed up, you start to have fun, and then all of the sudden there is just this one house and they get all mad because your not 10-1 years old. So they slam the door in your face. See that’s just not cool.
Yes see I do understand that most older people are there to see all the little kids and that makes them happy. But I don’t recall there ever being an age limit. If there is let me know because I don’t recall one.
Tell me how do you feel about all of this? Maybe I’m just going out of control about it but I cant help it. It just drives me crazy so tell me what you think?

Going crazy
I think the people in the book went crazy just from being all alone in the middle of nowhere with no adults or anything. Anyone would go crazy from that. I also think that it has got to be a little bit of some of them were just crazy before they got there. Not like noticeable but in the back of their minds. I think they really became crazy when they were out in the wild wand all together and stranded. They influenced each other to do different crazy things. I would just have to say the majority of the reason they were crazy was just because they were stranded and on an island and just became crazy.

Environment
The first quote says that our environment does not control us. The second quote says that the environment is responsible for what we do or controls us. I completely agree with the first quote and believe that the second quote is wrong but not completely wrong.
I believe that a human is responsible for it’s own actions. I believe that the environment helps us do something or helps us make the decision to do something but is not responsible for our actions or us. For example: On the island Ralph was trying to get rescued while Jack was only after the excitement of killing and the meat from the native animals.
I think that evil cannot be in genetics but can stay with genes and can be with environment but I think that evil can move around. I do not think that people can start evil, but that they can become evil, and I do not think that the evil in a person has to come out eventually. I think that a person can suppress what evil that there is with them. For example: It was after they had been on the island for a few months that Jack started becoming savage, another is: They had been used to killing when they mistook Simon for ‘the beast’ and killed him.

Halloween
I think Halloween is really fun and awesome. In my opinion I think Halloween is a good holiday because we get free candy, toys , and gifts sometimes. It benefits me because they make like haunted houses were me my friends and family to have fun or just to have a little thrill. They also come out with really scary movies and shows for entertainment. I also think Halloween can be pretty dangerous because little kids could get kidnapped or even worse someone can put poison on the little kids candy and it can kill a lot of kids. I also think a personality can change when they are wearing a mask. Because they can change their attitude and the way they think.

I like Halloween because its one-day of the year you can dress up and go act a fool, and no body will know whom you are. I think that the myths of dressing up on Halloween are true. Supposedly dressing up on Halloween is supposed to rid you of evil spirits and make them leave you alone over the next year. Who knows what is really true, but when I didn’t dress up I usually had a crappy year. Think about it before you don’t dress up for Halloween.
I like to do a lot of things around Halloween. Of course go to the Rave and trick or treat. No matter how old I get I will always trick or treat, and the raves are so sick around this time that there is no way you can’t go.
Happy Halloween

Well the way that I thought the book would end was so wrong.
See the way I thought it would end was that samneric would join the other tribe and that they all would turn on jack and kill him or give him another chance.
And that they would get a fire started and then get saved. But no that’s not what happened at all it was all so different. Sam and Eric did get with the other tribe but see they Sam and Eric ended up telling on Ralph. See they almost got to him to kill him and then some guy showed up and saved him from getting killed by the others. and they all got saved because the hole island was on fire and they seen it so they saved them that’s the most of it.
That’s cool but I wish piggy would have lived so he could go home like he wanted to do so bad he had the most faith that they would get saved.

I think Halloween is good because it lets kids get candy. The kids and adults can dress up in a costume to be somebody else. It’s also a bad thing because kids can get scared and people can kidnap kids and poison candy. It lets kids use their imagination.
My least favorite memory is when my sister and I was tricker treating. Some kids tried to take my sisters candy so I jumped in to help her. So when they seen me coming for them they got scared and ran or that is what it looked like to me? They really just ran behind me and stared to hit me in the back of the head. I was hurt so bad I had to go to the hospital; they also took my candy.
My favorite is when I took my daughter for the first time; she was just fascinated by everything. She was scared of some costumes and she stared to cry it was sad and funny at the same time. When she stopped crying she wanted to go back to my house instead of her moms house so on the way back we racked up some leafs and jumped in them.

What I think about Halloween is it is a good holiday for a whole lot of families. It is also good and bad for the stomach. It is a very good holiday and bad. People benefit from this holiday from enjoyment, and the candy, it is very tasty.
Yes there are most defiantly negative parts to this holiday (Halloween) like all the party stuff. Halloween is probably known as one of the biggest party nights known. Another negative thing is that little kids may get kidnapped. That is one of the scariest, saddest, sick things in the world. Wearing a mask can hide an identity. It can also make a human mildly scary. My favorite memory is what I can remember when I was with my family. My least favorite is, I don’t have a least favorite.

My favorite memory on Halloween is last year when I was last year, I was at a party with my brothers. We were rolling up some stuff just one after another, We were having a lot of fun together I didn’t want the night to end. I think Halloween is really fun because you get to run around and act a fool with your homies. Halloween is a good holiday because you can run around in a mask and act stupid without getting in trouble. There are some negative things about Halloween because a lot of people get robbed on Halloween, and maybe even killed. Wearing a mask can help a person get away with a lot of things, like that because they cant be identified while they are wearing a mask and I think that is why there are a grip of police out on Halloween. People who do things like that have more of a chance of getting away with something because they get to wear a mask, and there face can’t be seen.

I think Halloween is a good holiday. People benefit from this because they get to have a chance to have fun and be who they want to be just for a moment. I think the negative part of Halloween is lots of kids like to act like little thugs and take the younger kids candy. I think that a mask is a way for that person to be who they think they are and not to care what other people think of them. My least favorite part of Halloween would be last year because these really weird scary lookin’ guys chased me and my friend for like 3 or 4 blocks before my friend tripped and got hurt. By that point, they decided to leave us alone. This year for Halloween I’m being an 80’s punk rocker chick. I’m so excited! I’m going to my uncle’s house and we are doing my little baby cousins first Halloween… yaya!!!!

Today is a great day. It’s Halloween and I’ve been eating lots of candy and drinking loads of soda. The weather is nice, and today I don’t have Group. So that makes me even more happy. My favorite thing to do on Halloween is to watch scary movies with my friends and family, while eating candy and drinking hot chocolate. Trick or treating is a must. You are never too old to go trick or treating; it’s too fun and exciting. I really miss my family and friends from home, being in Utah county sucks. I absolutely hate it. Everyone out here are so ignorant it makes me sick. The only good thing out here is that I’m bettering myself. I’m becoming a better person each day I’m here. I’m finally on the right path, and that would be the path of sobriety. I’m not only changing my bad habits, but my spiritual side. It makes me feel good. Really. But at the same time I miss my real life and my real friends. I just have to complete the 12 step program and I’ll be on my way back home. Wish me luck

Why do people ask me” Why are you shy?” Well I’m not shy I just don’t talk much. There are two different types of people. One type is they talk to communicate. The other type doesn’t need to talk to communicate. I’m the kind that doesn’t need to talk to communicate. If you want to talk to me don’t ask, “Why don’t you talk?” you should ask let’s talk because if you ask why don’t you talk. It sounds like you are saying I can’t talk. Which I can talk I’m just quiet. I’d like studying body language and seeing how people communicate. See how they move when they talk. There are a lot of things that you can learn by watching people’s body’s language. Like you can see if they like you without even talking or you can have a connection without even saying one word to each other. People that talk a lot don’t get heard like a quite person would.

So I want to like just write about life..
My name is Nathan. I’m an evasive soul. I travel alone. Be careful with what you say for I would turn around and walk the other way and never look back or have second thoughts. I don’t crave hook ups or relationships. I’m more independent. I am too trusting but in the end, I would rather erase my memory of you go back in time and fall in love all over again. I enjoy writing, poetry, reading, computers, skating. But even more I love walking alone late at night with no care in the world, feeling the street lamps breathe down on me. Each tells their own little story. Each feels and reaches out for that one special soul.
People tell me there are standards of living in this world, but what they don’t understand as feel as if I sell my soul to the devil by conforming. I like to feel animated and alive. I love the sun, in the morning as it creeps into my window trying to express to me the energy it puts off. Little beams of light ricochet off my walls and light up my world so I can start the day.
I want to live my life everyday as a wild and untamable animal, I want people to look at me and say that I am deranged. I want people to think that I don’t care because what I see is so much more fulfilling.

Halloween
My favorite Halloween was last years Halloween. I dressed up as a basketball player. I want with some of my siblings to a place in-between our houses. It was around the place where one of my best friends used to live. We, naturally, went to like five long streets averaging about seventy or eighty houses. At about half of the houses I got to scare some of my siblings because they were dark and my siblings were young. I don’t think that I have a least favorite Halloween because they were all fun.
I think that Halloween should be moved back a day so that Halloween wouldn’t be celebrated on All Hallows Eve. I think that Halloween and All Hallows Eve is the same thing, so we should celebrate them on the same day instead of different days, but I think that we people messed this up as well. I also think that Halloween is a discrimination of All Hallows Eve. I think that All Hallows Eve is supposed to be a time where you respect not only your dead but also everybody’s dead.

At about half of the houses I got to scare some of my siblings because they were dark and my siblings were young. I don’t think that I have a least favorite Halloween because they were all fun.
I think that Halloween should be moved back a day so that Halloween wouldn’t be celebrated on All Hallows Eve. I think that Halloween and All Hallows Eve is the same thing, so we should celebrate them on the same day instead of different days, but I think that we people messed this up as well. I also think that Halloween is a discrimination of All Hallows Eve. I think that All Hallows Eve is supposed to be a time where you respect not only your dead but also everybody’s dead.

Ok I don’t want to write about the topic because it sounds boring. So I would like to write about something else like my home visit. I’m going on a home visit October sixteenth through the eighteenth. I’m so glad because I’ve been in my program for four months and I only have had one home visit. I can’t wait to see my family and friends. Oh my moms throwing me a birthday party because my eighteenth birthday is on October twenty-fifth.

I want to write about life .If you believe in confinement and imprisonment, I think you should think of life as a giant prison. In the morning, you leave your cell AKA house and you go to work or school, which are forced upon us. In addition, at the end of the day, we return to our cells, sit down, and relax as well as the rest of the droids in the world.
I think of the world as a bunch of robots in the Clockwork World. Everyday life is nothing more than a bunch of robots forced to do the dirty work of all of the big corporations. Everyday life is nothing more than a prison; isolated within this world we call earth and bound by the laws and rules of what we call society, but in all reality society makes us more isolated than prisons.

What is your favorite season well you see mine is the winter and then when it rains.
See there are a lot of things that I like when it comes to all these thing like when it snows I love it when driving at nighttime because when you are driving and its dark it looks like you in space and to me that’s cool.
And when you go out for a walk and you see all these pine trees that are just covered in snow to ne that is so pretty and I love it when you go out to have a smoke and its so cold that you don’t wont to finish it but you end up finishing it anyway and of course there is Christmas and my birthday so that’s why I love it to and then there was rain.
See when it rains it’s a different story to me love how the rain falls and hits the ground as you are listening to it from your house or your porch and you room with the window open and the way it looks out side as its raining and the smell after its dun raining out side and you go and take a deep breath of the air out side I love all that stuff.
It’s all good to me, so what is your favorite season of the year????
Go ahead and tell me missy

What’s scary?
I am afraid of the dark. I really hate not being able to see what is in front of me. Maybe that’s my problem because I’m scared of the things I see in the dark. Everything is twisted and turns into different things. For example, in any scary movies, what good happends in the dark? Nothing, that’s the point. I am also afraid of being alone. If I had to be alone I would just kill myself. Like in the movie I am Legand, if that happened to me I would just die. I would rather be in the dark with someone than being in the light with no one. But if I had my way I would just be with a million people in the light.

Knowledge and Wisdom #2
I think that knowledge is what is learned and what is experienced. Some say that with knowledge comes power and that with power comes responsibility. This is true and not true. The reason it’s true is because when you know something you can use it to your advantage. That’s the power part and this is the anti of it. If you know something and someone else knows it also then neither of you has more potential or power. The thing that is different between you and others that don’t know the same thing is that you have more power over them because you know something they don’t.
What usually defines who has more power is wisdom. People get wisdom through experience. Those who are powerful but not wise are usually tyrants while those who are either very wise or both wise and powerful are the great people of the world.
The difference is what you do with the knowledge that defines wisdom.

Civilization
Civilization is hideously fragile. In other words there are many things that can disrupt or change civilization. Everybody has their own faults that make them less than and equal to everybody else, and everybody has strengths that make them better than and equal to everybody else. In other words everybody is equal because their strengths equal out their Weaknesses.
Civilization is everything that a human can do that an animal can’t do, communicate, hate, and love. Savage is what humans do because of civilization that make them worse than animals, or things that humans do because of civilization that animals can’t or won’t do.
The U.S. isn’t any more savage than it is civil. It’s civil because we try to help each other usually (fellow Americans and people from other nations). Why the U.S. is savage is because we go kill other armies and try to control other countries.
Because we have the potential to be civil or savage it makes us the most dangerous race of animals. This enables us to be either the best race or animals or the worst. Humans either kill because they are greedy, after revenge, or are ordered by another human to.

Knowledge is what you have learned in school or by somebody and wisdom is what you know from experts and you have been throwing it. Knowledge affects you life by how you might get a job and if you can go to college. You can gain wisdom from knowledge. I have knowledge and wisdom but not enough to do what I want to do in my career. What I mean is I need to learn more things about stuff to be a police officer like how the laws apply to kids and adults. Also I need to know how to deal with people and how I can help people in a way that they would understand. I need to under stand what people are going through and how they are feeling.

HOME VISIT
Today I want to talk about my home visit. it went really well. First I woke up on a Sunday. Then I got ready you know the usual brush my teeth, wash my face, etc…
Then I got something to eat. After that I watched I little bit of iron man. Then my tracker came and got me. She drove me all the way up to Centerville it was like an hour drive there. My mom got me and we went to my grandparents house, watched the football game. We watched San Diego and Miami. Miami won. Then we went to my house. I called my friend we talked for about an hour. After most of the day I went with my mom to the store. After we got back my Nina came over. My dad left to work. Then we went to look for houses.
At days end I went to go see my best friend josh for about an hour. Over all I had so much fun.

At days end I went to go see my best friend josh for about an hour. Over all I had so much fun.
Okay so Thursday after school Tyler came over to my house. It was so much fun he did my make up and hair. I looked hella sexy. It didn’t look like me at all. He met some of my really good friends. He is a freakin’ amazing make up artist and he does really freakin’ amazing hair styles. I love how he doesn’t care what others say bout his make up. Anyways we were doing my hair in the bathroom and my mom came in there and screamed BOO!!!! And it made the both of us screamed hella loud. It was hella funny. And that boy can dance let me just tell you. He rolls his hips like no tomorrow and that boys can sing. So my parents embarrassed my like hella bad. Then we went downstairs and just kicked it the rest of the night. It was the best night I have ever had with a guy. I can’t wait till the next night I get to kick it with him.
Yesterday I had to go to court so that is why I wasn’t at school on Monday. I went to court on some old charges from back in the day, but they are my most recent ones so far. I don’t plan on getting any more. My judge was debating on whether he should send me to mill creek or let me stay in this program. He wanted to send me to mill creek but my therapist and. the probation department went to court with me and ask the judge to send me back to this program, and my therapist told him how good I have been doing since I have been back from detention. So I think the only reason that he didn’t send me to mill creek is because my therapist and the probation people went to court with me, and I think that is the only reason that he let me come back to Allen Brooks cross roads. So I am thankful for that.

Rewriting Lord of the Flies
Ralph blows the conch and everything goes crazy! Lava suddenly erupts from the mountain and spills down the valley. The kids started to go wild. They started ripping each others limbs off and drinking each others blood while pigs wildly ran after them and attacked their toes. Then all of a sudden a B-52 bomber drops off a cargo load of semi, and fully automatic m-15 army issue machine guns fully loaded with armor piercing rounds. Piggy grabs one of the machine guns and he starts to unload. “Die punks!” he said with a devils rage in his eyes.
Today was a good day. Except, I’m way tired and exhausted. I’m sleeping less than 5 hours a day, and going to group is too overwhelming, especially without coffee or some sort of caffeine. I really miss my family and my normal life. I can’t wait to go home and live the life of sobriety and be with my loved ones. My obsession over drugs got way to out of control and it turned me into a person I didn’t want to be. I’m learning a lot in my program not only about who I truly am, but about how drugs alter your mind so bad you turn into a different person. If I keep doing drugs I will ruin my life and destroy all of my relationships with my friends and family. My friends and family are very supportive of me and they help me a lot with not relapsing. I thank my family and friends for everything they’ve done. I can’t wait till I can go home and show my friends how much I appreciate them for getting me help. I’m so thankful for having a support system. Well, gooooodbye!
Do you think that music can influence who we are and where we will go in life? See a lot of people label our music because that’s what they think is that it makes us how we are but I can tell you one thing.
I do listen to all different kinds of music and don’t manipulate me in any way. Yes it might change my mood but I don’t see it affecting me tremendously. See I listen to ICP but it ‘s not like I’m going to go kill someone. Yes it dose make me more violent sometimes. But do you get what I’m saying?
So tell me what do you think about all of this stuff. I want to hear what you have to say.

The first quote is just saying that everybody has a horrible person underneath themselves. The other quote is saying most people are savages themselves.
But I think most people are civilized. Savages are people that are wild and that do thing that people would not normally do.
Money is the root of all evil
I agree with the saying because money can make people do crazy thing. People can be violent and can cause distution with money, like they can pay people to do thing that can make their lives miserable. People don’t need money to be happy; all they need is somebody to love. To the kids on the island the food is money to them because they don’t have much of it so the people that have food mostly has the authority. The kids on the island have become uncivilized.

Election
I want to talk about the whole election thing that is going on between McCain and Obama, the talk that is going on between the both of them is he say she say type of thing. In my opinion, the political debate between the two vice presidents is ridicules.
I have positive and negative things to say about both parties, as well as reasons why and why I do not like one over the other.
My whole thing about McCain is that people may not see what I see and once again it is just an opinion, but I see a different person and motive behind McCain, I think that he began with the wrong motives. I see that he may just want the power, loyalty and money and not the responsibilities that come with running the country.
I see some positive things in him as well; he has been to war personally and knows first hand how that it really goes. I think that he would be a good leader in the aspects of having experience and being ready to make some difficult decisions if it ever came down to it.
With Obama, he may or may not be ready to make some very important decisions that the United States will need to make. I think that he is ready, but also at the same time he may not be. He may lack the experience and mind set that it will take to run this nation.
But on the flip side, He is a very motivated leader. His ideas and views are very rational but also sometimes a little extreme.
This is my blog for the day; I had to do something for credit… right?

Fear
What am I afraid of well this is a little personal but I will tell you all the biggest thing that I am afraid of would being alone for the rest of my life I wont a soul mate I don’t wont to die alone.
I know that sounds dumb but that’s how I fill, and I am so scared of that happening to me and yes every one says you will fined someone but if you or I don’t that’s scary to me just think what if one of you guys don’t fined someone how would you fill????.
For me I don’t know how I would fill that would be a nightmare for me but that would be it for me. What about you guys what are yours?? That’s all I have to say today always

Knowledge & Wisdom
Knowledge & Wisdom
I think that knowledge is what is learned and experienced. I think that one could be knowledgeable but not wise or wise and not knowledgeable.
Some say that with knowledge comes power and responsibility. I think that in some ways that this is true. I think that with knowledge you are able to do a lot, which is power, but that you should control what you do with the power, which is responsibility.
Knowledge being power isn’t true because if you know something it doesn’t stop someone else from knowing it. If two people know the same thing then they have the same power.
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is knowledge is what you know and have experienced. Wisdom is what you do with what you know.
I think that with knowledge comes power and responsibility with wisdom comes greatness. I think that tyrannical people are knowledgeable people but the rulers of great and strong nations, that keep more allies then enemies, are the wise.

What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
I’m afraid of being a father because I don’t know if I’m good at being a father or it I’m bad a being a father. What I mean is if i'm being to hard with them or if I’m not being to soft. Because if I don’t do good than they will end up like me or like there mom. This can effect my life by watching them go to DT or to jail if I don’t do good but if I do good then it will effect my life by seeing them happy and that will make me happy.
I think fear can be positive or negative because it can keep you from doing something bad or it can make you do something bad. The positive effect is my kids will not end up like me or like their mom. The negative thing is that they will end up like their mom or me. They could go to jail or DT. I don’t want them to go threw this or be involved with JJS. I want them to have a good life and a father that they can depend on not one that is in jail or prison.

Lord of the Flies
Lord of the flies
The book would change in many different ways if an adult was on the island. Such as it would be more strict people doing more work and less play, more boring, less interesting to read. There would probably be more food, more shelter, and fire never going out. I think if jack was the chief then things would be more hectic and less civil then it is. Probably more hunters and everything less organized piggy is my favorite character because he’s got the bright ideas, he shows leadership. Like for example he knows how to raise his voice, knows how to speak for himself, does not let people bring him down. Jack is my least favorite character in this book because he is to demanding, plain rude, and not a lot of cooperation skills.

Fear
I am afraid of losing my family. because if I lost my family it would suck. I would not be able to go home to my little sisters or my mom. I wouldn’t ever hear them say they love me, or be safe I will see you in a little bit, and that would effect my life because I would go crazy knowing that my family don’t love me. or want any thing to do with me, I just wouldn’t probably care about life. and I would do allot of things that would get me I trouble. or I would become a full time gangster, and probably do things to make people want to kill me or they probably would kill me.
James
James
Fear
What I am afraid of is dying from a broken heart. The reason I have a fear of dying from a broken heart is because I know people who have killed themselves over love. I have been in love two times and both times I thought I was going to die after it was over.
I think this has a negative effect on my life because I don’t let anyone in my life get to close.
I think that if I left someone close enough that ill get hurt. I know that it was said ‘Tis better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all” that was said by Shakespeare. I think that these are wise words because I think that its true I would rather love someone and have a few broken hearts then to have never loved anyone at all then to not know that is out there. I loved someone who broke my heart everybody told me to be careful and that I didn’t now what love was. The truth is I know what my meaning of love is and ill never let anyone tell me different.

Adults
Adults?
I think as soon as adults come in to the picture everyone has to be perfect. Not all of them but like in the book if there was an adult found they would be changed. They wouldn’t be able to do anything and anything they could do would have to be together or not at all. Right now they are all pretty much doing whatever they want but then an adult comes wow no more! They would tell all they kids to listen to them because they are older and so they get the power. They would be in control. I think they would be better off without having someone harping them all the time. But maybe at the same time they could help the kids when they are scared or if they have any questions the adult would know. Adults can be helpful but a pain at the same time!

Stem Cell Research
Stem cell research can benefit somewhat.
It can benefit by us haven another life.
But there are risks to it. We could mess up and kill an innocent life. Oh they can also be umm…. Shoot I don’t know.
But I think that religious people won’t except it.

Technology
I feel like this is pretty cool because if they advance in that technology they can probably find a cure for HIV. One benefits is that you can be able to start cloning humans. That would be cool if they can clone Mariah Carey that way I can keep her copy all for my self. They can abuse that much power like it said in that video the genie can come out of the bottle then we wont have any control over it will lose control. One other benefit is that girls don’t have to go through all the nine-month pregnancy.

Leadership
Leadership
A good leader is somebody that takes control and stays calm and that knows what to do.
Like my dad has a great leadership skill. He is good at taking control and he knows what to do all the time. I wish I could be a good leader like him. He is my hero for that. Leadership is about reacting without thinking when something happens. I think Ralph is a good leader because he knows what to do. Jack just wants a lot of control and he takes things too personal.

Leader
What I think makes a good leader is someone who can step up in any kind of situation, at anytime. Like say I was the one not speaking my mind and someone just spoke up for me and tried that would be an example of good leadership.
What else I think makes a good leader is someone who can help others or anyone no matter who they are were, they came from, they just do it.
I think I am a good leader because I like everyone.
I am not racist, I am not sexist just no matter I will do it for the good of the cause.

A leader to me is some one who other’s can look up to. It’s some one who you can go to and ask for help with a problem or just someone to listen to you. I think that Kesha is a good example of a leader. For example I had a problem and she sat there and helped me out and let me cry on her shoulder with out complaint. She has done this more then once. I think that anyone who wants younger people to look up to them watch and learn from her because she will never give up on you. She is someone who I can see being a great leader. I think that teachers here and stuff in general are great leaders. Because when you have a goal or something you are striving for they like to help you reach it. I think that more schools should have staff like this. I think that Tia is also an amazing leader. Because if you need to talk to someone or just need a shoulder to cry on she is there with out question and she will sit there till she knows that you are ok and that you can make it. A leader is some one that when you are down or feeling blue can just come up and give you a hug and make you smile.

Good Leaders
Good Leaders
What I think makes a good leader is love and devotion to the people they are leading. I think there is a difference between just being a leader and being a true leader.
A leader is simply a person who leads people or controls people. It doesn’t depend on how the leader leads his people so long as they are the one leading the people. A leader could contol his people by force or military might or they could lead his people through money. A leader could lead his people by manipulation or bribing the original leaders to gain control. They could also lead by trickery or false teaching.
A true leader would lead by true teaching and compassion for their people. A true leader would not use military might or money to keep control or his people. They wouldn’t even control their people, just try to nudge them to the path that they either know or believe as right. A true leader would set a court system to rule over the people. A true leader tries to inspire their people with correct teachings.
I think that a good leader would be someone who puts courts into each city to keep order over the people and churches among them to teach their religion. I think that a true leader would also build an army to protect their people from invading forces. I think that a true leader would be open to suggestions and would still be within the law meaning able to be punished for wrong doings. I think that a true leader would be among their people instead of higher than their people.

What Makes a Good Leader
WHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER
What I think that makes a good leader is someone who is always there for you.
Someone that has been a leader in my life was my brother.
He was always there for me when he could be so when I was down he could bring me right back up and put me back on the right path to move forward on.
Someone that Is a leader will always be there for you.
When you are in need they will be there for you when you are down when you are heart broken or going through depression or hard times.
They will do anything for you to get set back up on the right track.
They will be with you tell the end and help you up whenever you are in need.

Funniest Thing
I think the ending of the book is was lame because it kept you guessing. The one thing I liked about the ending is that the girl didn’t die. Armpit didn’t get into trouble. They should have got back together because they make a good couple. If I could continued the book I would write it saying they got back together or at least seen each other again.
The funniest thing that has ever happen to me is when I stool my dads car in the winter. I took it out and got it stuck for five hours. Then I got It unstuck I was taking it back home but I was going 80 up our ally way. I hit a pothole the car rolled and it rolled right were he usually parks it. When I walked in to talk to him about were I’ve been I just handed him his steering wheel. Then I past out and I was all bloody and I had to go to the hospital. I had to stay in the hospital for two months so I didn’t get into trouble. So it was cool.

Funniest Thing
The funniest thing that I have ever done is me and my friend Alyssa were hanging out before I went to St. George and we decided that we wanted to decorate her “Ghetto paper” which is like brown paper bag and its like their blinds. We like to write how we feel and just random stuff on it. When we go to collage the both of us are taking each others half of each others “ghetto paper and take it with us. Instead we ended up having a marker war we wrote all over reach other stuff like hot mama, lick it like a lolli pop… stuff like that. That was the best later that night we watched Sweeney Todd and got the crap scared out of us. In one part in the movie he kills everybody that come into his shop and there is tons and tons of blood. We started to freak out and were trying to stop the movie but couldn’t find the remote and then we messed up the DVD player. I think in that one night we drank a bunch of soda ate ice cream and then tons and tons of snacks. That was the best night of my life and we are trying to keep toping that night and as of right know we haven’t had any success yet.

Funniest Thing
The funniest thing that has ever happened to me is one time I was kickin it wit my brother and we were running from his dogs shorty and tator. It was winter time so we threw a rock and ran the opposite way that we through the rock. and I tried to jump up on top of a bench that was in the park next to my brothers house and it was all slippery and when I tried to jump off of the sitting part onto the top of it. my foot slipped under the bench and it like whip lashed me and I ended up all the way under the table it hut my leg a little bit but it was still pretty funny and my brother was crackin up and he still clowns me to this day about it but its ok because I have allot of stuff to clown him about to so I clown on him when ever he clowns on me. Like one time me and him were running and I told him to watch out for the black ice because you cant see it and rite after I told him that he slipped on it and I could not stop laughing it was so funny and he was all mad so that made it even funnier to me.

Point of View
Point of view
What effects my point of view is others point of view. When a person receives something they make up their mind as to what it is and then passes it on. Therefore it changes from person to person. A person’s emotion usually kicks in and changes it until you don’t mind it or like it when they receive something they don’t like. Emotions are a key reason why people subconsciously change things.
No two people are the same but they may have the same perspective about things. Two different people would view the same thing by what they knew about it, what they believed about it, and what they heard about it. For example, two people could view the same person completely different because they don’t see the same things, believe the same, and heard the same things.
On the other hand, two people could see the same actions and hear the same words but they could believe differently and view that person completely opposite or the exact same. A lot of the time why people label people wrongly or differently than the person wants is because they don’t know the reasons why the person did what they did or they believe differently than the person they are labeling.

Why is it hard to change?
Why is it hard to change?
Well it been hard for me it on going thing for me to do and that’s no lie. Every day I am changing you see when you have to change. It’s never good satisfying to your self and sometime to others as well so it hard.
When I was in my group home I was there for a yare and during that time I have changed so, so much and I can see it and so do a lot of other people, but when I was in there I was rood to other’s and I just did not care And that was the truth.
I was always on isolation there and that were if you do something bad that you have to ware a orange vest and you can’t talk to any one and you see that was hard for me and I would be so mad at the would no just at all times I hated you and me and at that time I was on a lot of different pills because they say that I was bipolar and that I was very depressed but then all of the sudden I got my Stuff together and I don’t know I when though a lot of bad times in that place but I will say that I have changed a lot I am no longer the same in some ways in most I am the same but in the most important things I’m not the same.
There was a big step’s that I had to take to do all that I did I was the meanest in there and as soon as I did good I got out and now I’m here so that’s it for me I’m out……………………………

Love
Love
I think you should know them very well. You shuould have a lot of fealing for them. You know that you will be with them for the rest of your life. Like I loved someone and I still love her. We know each other since we wore three years old. Then we started going out. We wore together for four years but she moved. Then I go sent here. But I know I could spend the rest of my life with her and I would do anything to still be with her.
I think armpit and kaira don’t realy love each other because they don’t know each other that much. They should know each other of a longer time before they say thay love each other.

Good Writing
Good writing
What makes good writing good is when you know what to write, having that feeling on what you know is right, and just getting the internal feeling.
The good qualities of writing are when your mad you can write and most of you anger will be written on a piece of paper, and not hurt anyone, as well improve on your writing skills.
What I like to read is something that has action, and romantic comedy kind of thing.
What makes it great is that you can laugh, be thrilled, and get all in that love mode.
What makes it suck is it has to end.

Don't believe in Love
I don’t believe in love. It’s DUMB and USELESS. I think that it’s a complete WAIST of TIME and HEARTACHE!!!!!!!!! I think any girl that is in “LOVE” will get HURT and eventually STOP loving guys and will NEVER get married or anything. DON’T say it until YOU are for sure that’s how YOU feel. I can tell you from my own experience that it really does SUCKS when YOU tell a guy that you love them and all they say is “ OK” it’s the same as saying THANK YOU after a kiss that makes the girl have SECOND thoughts on WHY they are even together. If a guy is going to be with a girl then they either say “I love u” back or say “this is to fast for me can we slow it down” but don’t ever just say “OK”. I know that most people will read this and say well that’s not always the case with guy some times it’s the girls that act that way and if that is the case then they have no room to day anything when a guy says it to them.
I know that if the guy I’m with says “OK” one more time I think I am going to freak out major time because that make me think “ WHY is he with me is it out of PITTY or because he WANTS to be with me?” maybe its just me who knows. So if you were to ask any man in a relationship MOST guys would say they were doing it because they feel bad because no body likes them like that. So when you are with a girl you need to tell them that you don’t love them but you want to be with them or you love them DON’T string them along and make them believe in your stupid games and same for the girls.

Change
CHANGE
What do I think that change means?
I think that change is something that takes time to accomplish and you have to really want to change to make the change occur and if you don’t try hard the change will never come to happen.
In my eyes I think that people when they want to change it is because they want to get better at something or change a bad habit or something like that and they want to fix it to better themselves in one way or another.
One example for change is when I went into foster care they wanted me to change my bad habits that I had.
For example smoking pot, drinking alcohol, doing pills, staying out late past curfew, not coming home for days or weeks at a time and not going to school.
The things that I have changed so far are that I go to school, I don’t smoke pot no more, I don’t drink anymore, I don’t sneak out, and I don’t stay out past curfew , and I come home when I am supposed to, so pretty much I have changed all the things the state wanted me to do when I got into foster care two and a half years ago.
Because of the changes that I have made I am know living with my grandma and I am out of a normal foster home and live with my family which I have been trying to get to do for two and a half years and thanks to my change I am now back home.

Love?
Love?
I don’t think you need to know someone very well or at all to say that you love the person. I think that ,you should know, but you don’t need to know, the person very well to say that you love them. I think that you’re wrong if you think that it’s a time-based thing to be able to say that you love someone. I think that Kaira and Armpit don’t know each other well enough to be lovers and/or boyfriend and girlfriend because I think that the two people in love should know each other well enough to trust each other.
I would say, however, that two people that knew each other for that long could know each other well enough to say, truthfully, that they love each other. I don’t think that love is time based because if it were then there would be no term ‘love at first sight’. I personally know from experience that a lot of the time when you think that you love someone that you are probably tricking/lying to/or convinced yourself that you love the person. In any case when you think you love someone and you haven’t known the person for a long time then your probably lying to yourself.
With Kaira and Armpit I don’t think that they love each other but are lying to themselves. My reasoning if because after Armpit goes to San Francisco he asks Kaira to do something and she gets mad at him and stops trusting him. After that I think that they liked each other more. I think that the reason Armpit liked Kaira is because he needed someone of his own ‘kind’ to like and to understand him. I think that the reason Kaira liked Armpit is because she needed someone to like and be her friend.

Violence and Tickets
VIOLENCE
I think violence should only be used if you have to. If you are getting jumped or if you are in a sport like boxing. Once you step out of the ring the fighting should stop. If you are getting robbed then it’s ok to use violence. Violence will not get you any where in life except for jail or prison.
HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR TICKETS
The most I have ever paid for concert tickets is $340 for two of them. It was for a flyleaf concert. When we went there we snuck backstage and got to talk to her then the security guard came and kicked us out. The concert was over any ways. The tickets wore originally $30 a piece.

Identity
Identity is something such as who you are, what your about. Identity could as well be what represents you and your doing, such as like say I liked I loved to play video games, go rock climbing, and I liked to take baths or showers, liked to do math and go do adventurous things that’s what you would probably call identity or something like that.
What makes me, me is I do my own I can handle what I do most the time, and I get what I want. To be more defiant about “I do my own” is I can handle myself in all kinds of different aspects. such as do my own laundry, cook for myself plus others get my own checks basically being independent. I don’t do or try to get something or do something that I know is out of my reach. So the real question is how far is far.

Fishing
I went to Montana a few years back to see my grandpa that I have not seen for a few years, to go fishing, and hunting, with him for a few weeks.
When I was out there I went fishing and hunting several times during those two weeks, one of the lakes we went to was called canyon ferry.
When we went fishing there we would go out probably about five in the morning, and would stay out there tell about two in the afternoon.
We usually caught a lot of fish when we went out.
The first time I ever went out on the lake I caught one four pound rainbow trout, and one three and a half rainbow trout.
My grandpa caught one walleye.
The four and a half pound trout that we caught we put it on the medal stringer and threw it outside the boat and forgot about it and took off and the medal stringer ended up breaking and we lost the fish.
The other two fish we took home and cooked them and ate them later that day.
Some other places we went were up in Harlowton in eastern Montana about two hours away from my grandpas house.
We went up to a reservoir that was up there and a couple of creeks, and rivers that were up there and we usually always caught something.
The fish that we caught were usually only brook trout, rainbow trout, and sometimes browns and cutthroats if we were lucky.
We went out and shot gophers usually every day early in the morning when we woke up which was usually between five and six every day………..

When I was out there I went fishing and hunting several times during those two weeks, one of the lakes we went to was called canyon ferry.
When we went fishing there we would go out probably about five in the morning, and would stay out there tell about two in the afternoon.
We usually caught a lot of fish when we went out.
The first time I ever went out on the lake I caught one four pound rainbow trout, and one three and a half rainbow trout.
My grandpa caught one walleye.

Trust
Trust
Someone who I think shows respect and has something that they want to accomplish is my dad. Because he doesn’t bullshit you he will tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. I think that this is someone who respects themselves and others. Some body who I think isn’t honest is my uncle Steven because he doesn’t want to understand or doesn’t want to understand. He needs to learn how to think outside of the box because other wise he will pretend like there’s nothing wrong and everything is going to be perfect.

Truth
Truth.
What is the truth? What is the difference between me/your truth and the truth?
The truth is what is actually true, not what we think is truth. Our truth is corrupt and isn’t actually what truth. Our truth is usually not even near what the actual truth is. Our truth is corrupt with our thinking and concentration. Usually the truth that we think is true is first thought which is downed on by our concentration.
The truth isn’t what we think, our first thoughts and our concentrated thoughts, but is actually hidden from us by out thinking. First thoughts are impulsive and depend on our mood and surroundings. Concentrated thoughts are first thoughts corrupted by our definition of logic, which is usually incorrect. Impulsivity is us acting on first thought.
When we receive the actual truth we usually believe it to be wrong because we take it and run it through our logic and mold the truth until it is how we want it to be. We mold it into our truth. If we can’t see truth in our own feelings, perceptions, and observations then we can’t see truth because when we receive the truth we corrupt it with our logic and excuses.

Truth
The truth is when people tell the truth and don’t lie. The truth is when you have a good life without stilling or making observation. My truth is not lying but is not telling the truth at the same time like I will tell only part of the truth. I would just leave certain things out. The truth is when you don’t lie.
The person I know who dos not lie is my sister she always tells the truth like she wont make excuses. Your personality makes you you like it helps people know who you are and it makes your identity. Your personality helps you build character.
I think x-ray will get in trouble and he will stay controlling because he is so used to getting what he wants, I think armpit will try to stay out of trouble because he doesn’t won’t to get sent to a different camp but x-ray will show up and get him into trouble and will start things with people and armpit will have to help him.

integrity
I think integrity means something like having to do with being smart.
Someone who lives an honest life is someone who can do something or say something without hesitation, and do it right, or give them the most honest answer.
I mean I am not saying that’s all there is to integrity, I’m saying what I am saying is right
That is just my opinion to integrity, and I know there are going to be people say other wise but they’re entitled to what they think.
I think someone who does not have integrity is someone who does not have wholeness, someone who is never sincere, and who degrades someone for no reason, even people they don’t know. So in other words just plane rude.

Goals
You set goals by knowing what you want in life, and what you need to do to meet your goals in life. Whether they are long term goals or short term goals. Being successful makes a good goal, and you know you have met your goal when what you needed to do is completed. No it is not as easy said as done because you can say you are going to do something but actually doing what you say you are going to do is a whole different thing.

Unique
JOURNAL
This will be about what makes you unique. You may ask what makes a person a person well I don’t know to be honest. But really what makes a person I think its confidence and self- respect. I think I have those things but I’m not trying to brag or anything. But I never had confidence but I do now and I’m going out with the most beautiful girl in school. But beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
