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.
