Today I'm going to hop in my 12 to a gallon SUV that's plastered with magnetic 'Support our troops!" ribbons and drive my spoiled children to a sub par public school that teaches them nothing but how to talk in circles and manipulate others. Afterwards I'll go back home quickly to do some sort of illicit drug that has been purchased from a drug dealer that runs the shadow government of an impoverished third world country (a country that we impoverished). I'll then drive to my job at a large generic corporation, which is short sighted, ignorant of the needs of others, and generally abusive to everyone. I will do my work only well enough to remain employed while I steal office supplies, and spend most of my time browsing the internet for trite, stupid humor, and talking with my co-workers about shitty television dressed up as important and groundbreaking art. After work (which I take a half day from) I will drive home and berate my housekeeper in a passive aggressive way about would like to have cleaner carpets. I will spend approximately thirty minutes talking with my wife, who I have an abiding hatred for, and then not see her until we sleep next to each other. I will spend the rest of the time drinking myself dumb enough to go to sleep, and watching fox news, screaming at the television. This doesn't bother anyone, as my house is big enough to give everyone plenty of room to be perfectly alone. My son is in his room-smoking weed and listening to crappy overproduced music. My daughter is taking naked pictures of herself to fill an emotional void inside of her, and sending them to perverted men on the Internet. My wife is just sitting on the bed, staring at the wall, nursing a very complex emotional disorder that will only make itself apparent when she commits suicide after our children move away to go to overpriced colleges, and we get an unsatisfying divorce.

The perfect household that everyone wants, huh?
This is the background of the lives of those you think are so great
Don’t you want this…

Once life has gotten this far, there is no turning back you cant fix something that has been shaping a persons life for so long, don’t ignore the problems until they are to far to deal with just approach head on and it may save them before they fall off.
But then again why doesn’t the world know about equal living why don’t I (the father) just leave but for some reason I think its my (the fathers) fault
It would not be improbable the son has no father figure to help him, the daughter doesn’t have the father telling her that its indecent. The mother though that’s her problem and I (the father) should have thought better before even getting married but the wife couldn’t have been helped, no one knew about it so sometimes that’s just how life is

Caffeine

Caffeine is the life and soul of what and who we are. I am caffeine, you are caffeine… therefore you are me. What is it that makes us unique? Are we unique? To some extent maybe, but when it all comes down to it, I am you and you are I. The hammer of Thor has struck the heavens with a mighty force that could split this world apart. Here we are, and why? What is it that we are meant to be or do? Lost in the forest is a little deer. Where’s his family? What is he supposed to do now all alone? I’ll tell you. He should cry, and fear the hunter. Without family, without each other, we’re not unique. We’re not ourselves. We’re blobs of matter that serve no purpose and no reason. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that I am thankful for everyone in this world: the criminals, the rich, the poor, you and I. Someday we’ll all be somewhere else, but the important thing is we are everlasting beings.

Man I can’t wait until I go home. Which is not for another 2 months I hope. It will be so cool kicking it with my family and friends. I also will get to drive my car so I will be able to go anywhere I want. My family would be happy also so I will be able to just chill sweet I like free write because man I like Friday’s because I get to listen to music and just chill on a laptop. That’s the best thing about school and after school I get to go home and sleep. I can’t wait until I go home though music is the best thing ever made because you can just relax and listen to it and be happy it is so cool. It also will show what you like to listen to also free right is cool because I can write about what ever I want and get credit.

If I had 10 million dollars I would donate 5 million to Primary Children’s Hospital because I like kids and I want to help them get better. Then I would buy a house and a car. Than I would buy upgrades for my car and that stuff. I would also help my mom if she needs it. man I cant wait til I go home for thanksgiving. That will be so cool because then I get to kick it wit my family and my friends. That will be so cool. Normally I would be getting trashed and that’s why I’m kind of glad I’m out here because I haven’t wanted to get drunk at all because I want to change my life. I like being sober because I feel healthier than I did when I was drinking.

THE HAUNTED FOREST

During the month of October of the year 08, I wanted to go the haunted forest with my girlfriend but I had no money at the time. I started working for my grandma and a friend down the street, and while working with them I earned enough money to go with my girlfriend. So we went. We got there early so we just sat outside the haunted forest tell it got dark, then we bought our tickets and went in. when you first get into the haunted forest there is this room, it plays the clown off saw to try and get you scared, and jumpy before you actually go into the haunted forest. Finally we got to go in all the way, not even five minutes into the forest my girlfriend was getting scared so bad. She was running so fast because she was scared. At some times she ran so fast that I had to hold on to her sweater so that I did not lose her. Finally we got through the whole thing and sat down and rested because we were running for so long. We went home finally and ate some food and then we went to bed…..

I would have to give the five million dollars to a friend. But there’s a catch, I would tell him to give me back half of it and he can keep the rest of it. That way I would end up with more than half…. Ok no I wasn’t going to give the money to a friend. I would probably donate the five million to two different places. Half of it I would donate to the Primary Children’s hospital. I think it would be good to donate it to them because that way they would be able to help out more kids. Maybe they could even make the hospital bigger, so that they could have more people there being helped. The other half I would donate to some place where they help people pay for food for kids with PKU. The reason for that is that I have a younger brother that has PKU. For those that don’t know what that is, it’s some type of disorder thing where you can’t digest all the protein that you eat. If you don’t digest all the protein that you eat it can cause you to get like Down syndrome or something like that. I know what it’s like having to pay for the food that those kids can eat. It’s not cheap at all because it’s not the same food that the rest of us can eat. After I donated that to them then I would go to them and buy the food that I would be able to give to my little brother.

So I’m going to free write today, about how money and family can both be working together. Sometimes you hear that people put their money and jobs before their family. Like to me, that doesn’t mean that they don’t love you they’re just trying to do the best they can to support you and help you with the things you need to get or done. Okay, here ill tell you a story that happened just recently. Not to me, but to a friend. Her dad has a very good job at a very high paying job at a mine. And well her step-mom works in Wal-Mart. So what can you expect? Well anyways, her step-mom hasn’t been paying any real attention to the house payments or the bills. So they might have to foreclose their house. See this is really bad because her dad is being laid off because the copper is running out and isn’t worth as much as before. So they are trying their hardest to take their head out of their butts, to get things done before he gets laid off. So in that instance her step-mom put all the money before the good of her family, now their paying the price for it. So there are two sides really to the money and family shananagins. So when i'm older I want to put my family before any money I ever made in the whole world.

Why We Read?

We read to get a better at speaking and have a better vocabulary. To have us get a point of fiction is to get us into books because it sounds real but it’s really fake.
What makes a good book is to have a good quality in the book. Like it has to have some kind of interested in it in order for a person to like and get into books.
What I think makes a good book is it has to have some kind of action in it. Like any action to make me interested in it in order for me to read any books.
If a book does not have any kind of quality or action then I don’t see why there is a reason to read books. I mean some books are interesting enough to read all day, but some are’nt.

Landon

One of our topics to write about this week was, “What would I do if I had 5 million dollars to give all to charity”? I didn’t really have to think too hard on what charity I would give too because there is one that I think really needs some work done with it. Over in Africa kids and adults are dying every day from illnesses that can be prevented. In the U.S. we are not really affected by it because we have the vaccinations to prevent it. The medicine is cheap in the U.S. but in Africa and other countries most families can’t afford it. If I had five million dollars to give I would send it to help aid the people in Africa, to receive the medicine that they need to stay healthy. AIDS is also a huge problem not only in our country but in the entire world. Along with sending money to help vaccinate people in Africa, I would also donate money to help find a cure to AIDS and cancer.

Who is my role model?

My role model is my brother, because growing up he was always my biggest competition in everything such as sports. We both played football. We both played running back and we both also played linebacker . We both also wrestled . I took nationals and state. I think the reason I did so good in wrestling is cause my brother would always be on the side of the matt cheering me on. One thing my brother did that I really look up to him for is when he graduated. I look up to him for this cause everyone would tell him that he wasn’t going to, and he just showed them all up. Also why I think I matured and got tough is cause when I did something stupid me and my brother would fight. So now you know who my role model is

Justin

If I won ten million dollars in a lottery, I would donate it to either Primary Children’s’
Or to a cancer research program. If it went to the Primary Children’s’ I would want the money to be used for helping injured children and technology to help the lives of premature babies, and I want it to help fund the health care for under privileged children.
If it went to cancer research, I would want it to fund technology that could help find the cure for cancer, and I would like to invest in the studies for cancer.

I would use the half of the money that I got to get my life straightened up. I would get my own apartment or house. I would get a car, pay my bills, and I would set the rest into a savings account.

I don’t think that money is the best kind of charity because money isn’t everything it’s just material stuff. I think that showing affection to someone or showing him or her in some way that you care. Love does a lot more for someone more often than money can.

Why do I read?

I read to get out of the places that I don’t want to be in. Before I got locked up I didn’t read I didn’t care for reading at all. I started to read to pass time and I found that I could read and forget about were I was. So whenever I had time I read. After a wile it became a habit. Now if I’m pissed off or don’t want to think about something ill read. Like I really don’t like my proctor house so I chill and read my book, plus I don’t really have anything better to do sent I got my dirty U.A.

I think the quotes are very interesting. They make you think very hard about what they mean. They are insightful about what they say they are very cool that the people can think like that. And its cool because they make you think about it and it gets stuck in your head man. I’m so bored. I’m glad it’s Friday. I get to listen to music, just chill and do my blog. It’s also cool that its Halloween it sucks that I can’t dress up today. It’s the Halloween way. I love today I think it’s the best day of the year. I hate this new term they took my favorite classes and I still have English 2nd not 4th which I think would be better. Have English 4th and have math 2nd make my day easy not complicated. We now have to write 10 lines because people were writing less than 5. Which is stupid o well I’m done going on about my life later

Ty

I think that if you get stuck thinking about the future or the past. Then you won’t get anywhere except for where you are at the time. You won’t think about the present and what you can do to make things better than they were before. The past is the past and there is nothing that we can do to go back and fix the mistakes that we made. Really the only reason to look back to what we did before is to see what we can do differently to so we don’t make the same dumb decisions again. Just move on with your life and don’t get stuck there thinking about the dumb things from before.

There’s been a couple of times where I have been stuck thinking about some of the things that I did not too long ago. Some of them I sometimes wish I would have never done. But while I was just sitting there thinking about it over and over again, I realized I should just move on because I wasn’t getting any further in life. I was getting no where. The whole time I was thinking about the past everyone was telling me to just move on but I never noticed that until I was able to open my eyes and see how much I had actually missed out on.

Oscar

I think it means to live in the present is that, well obviously living in the present. Not in the future or the past but the present. Because to me, I used to live in the past and that’s all I ever thought about. And it was kind of scary. But the present is pretty scary in itself. I’m not a very religious person but my grandma always told me “God doesn’t give us challenges that he thinks we cannot face and over come”. You know what I mean. Because to me it’s like don’t live in the past or future but today. The reason that the past is called the past is because it’s the past. It’s already gone, there’s nothing you can about it. The present is called the present because it’s a gift. The future is the one you can really change. Because the future is the one we should be looking forward to. So, live today, not tomorrow or the next year. Take it 12- 24 hours. So enjoy it and embrace it. Even though it sucks sometimes. It’ll be all good.

Natasha

Your past and future
It means to live like now. You don’t need to think about it much to think about your past because it has already happen. Your future you need to think about because it has not happened yet.
You need to think about your future real hard to know what is going to happen, but to think about your past you don’t have to think as hard because it has already happened.
Now when you think about your past real hard you might bring back either bad memories or good memories. It’s good when you think about your happy memories because you will have a good feeling inside you, but when you think of your bad memories you will have a mad thought in you. So it’s not good to think about your bad memories.
So when you think of your future don’t think to hard because you don’t know what is going to happen because it hasn’t happened yet.

Landon

Today is Halloween and I’m not looking forward for tonight. I haven’t gone one Halloween in the past four years where I haven’t gotten in trouble with the law. I’m working all night, so I’m going to be pretty busy with that. I still have to get through the rest of the night avoiding doing anything wrong. I used to take my sisters out to go trick or treating, but now their both old enough to take them selves. They don’t need me to go with them anymore. I hope that as they get older they learn from my mistakes and can avoid from making the same ones that I did. Their both really good kids but sometimes holidays, especially Halloween can bring out the worst on some people. I would rather be doing stuff with my family and friends instead of working but supposedly Halloween is a really busy night for pizza orders, so im going to be their for a long time.

Karissa

I'd write basically every day I guess, things that were happening with my family, fights I had gotten into at school, stuff like that. If the mood struck me I'd write a story where I was the hero. From the age of 7-14 I filled probably 11 or 12 composition notebooks, but I have none of them now. I would always go about destroying them in the same way. I'd finish one, and put it in some secret place on the bookshelf. Any random number of months later I'd stumble upon the completed journal, pick it up to thumb through, and feel incredibly nauseous. At first I'd start just ripping out pages that I especially hated, but then by the time I was done the whole thing would be in the garbage. I must have destroyed hundreds and hundreds of pages. One time my mom found out I was doing this and with a sad look on her face told me that when I turned into an adult I would really regret doing that, and wish I had them to look back upon and have some sort of a lifeline into my childhood. Maybe I'm not grown up yet, because I still don't regret it.

Zack

I can’t wait until I go home. Which is in like about three months that part kind of sucks but o well it all works out in the end. Also it would be cool to just chill with my mom and brother and friends. I can’t until Obama is the president because than he will bring the troops back. Then I’m going to go to California Again. That will be awesome see my old high school and some of my old friends. And just chill with my friends and see my family. I like free write because I can just go on and on about whatever I want. It will be so cool to see some old teachers and my little brother and sisters and I might stay out there I’ll be out of Utah at least. I will also be with my friends from out here, which is going to be a fun trip. I will also get to see my brother’s grave which is what I have wanted to see forever. I can’t wait!

TY

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how I would like my future to go. I would like to finish my high schooling and if possible I would like to graduate early. If I graduate high school early I want to take the rest of what would normally be my senior year to save money for tuition.

I would also like to get married and settle down sometime in my life before I get too old. To me the whole point of getting married is being together and growing old together. Not getting married when you’re a few years away from dying. I only want to have kids when my living situation is stable, and I have a good career. When I have kids I would like to have a baby boy and then maybe a girl. I would like to live somewhere nice and decent. I don’t know what state I might be in when I get my own place, but it will happen.

I really don’t know what type of business I would want to own. If I could own my own business it would probably be some kind of sports store. It would mostly have to do with soccer. I would probably want to make it a store like scoreboard sports. I would like it to be like that store because there all they sell is soccer gear like cleats, shin guards, socks, shorts, jerseys, keeper gloves, sleeves and all that good stuff. If I could at least get it going here in Utah, I would be happy with that. After getting it started here it would be a lot better if I could get it going internationally so that people could know about it. If I could get it known internationally I would be making a lot more money just because of the fact that more people would know about it and they would be buying more from it. I would have a lot of things for the team Chivas. Chivas is the best team in Mexico and one of the best teams there too. It’s also my favorite team too. I would name my store….. Umm ok I don’t know what I would name it.

Oscar

I think that the building I would want to own would be a veterinarian place. Because I love to work with animals, because I think they’re the best things in the world. I think I would sell dog food, nail clippers, different shampoo, toys, treats, and of course grooming. I think that it’d be located in a big city or a big country like Alberta, Canada. Or like New York City. I think that I would choose Canada because I’m originally from there. And I know from seeing that there really is a lot of animals in Canada because people are starting to get lonely, so they buy animals. Because animals help them not feel so lonely. I mean if you really think about it animals are always there, they’re loyal, and they never really leave, unless of course they die. And the fact that they don’t judge like humans.

Like that quote says “Dogs are Mans Best-friend.” Plus, animals are worth saving, to me at least. I mean I’ve had some tumbles with dogs that bit my face. But after that I’ve never ever feared dogs. And I think that its all how you treat them. Like how humans get mad if you don’t respect them or treat them good. That’s how dogs think…at least that’s what my opinion is. So that’s why I would want to start a business with animals. But I really do think that a bigger city would work out better because the business would be better. I do think that I probably would employ my friends if they went to vet school and graduated with good grades. I would also hire my friends even if they had only graduated high school. Because, then they could work in the areas where the things we would sell would be. So sort of like working for me, not with me. But at least I would still hire them.

Natasha

My own business
If I had my own business I would tell everyone what to do to an extent. Then I would name it Landon’s robotic palace.
All my workers would be put to work immediately and work for most of the day but the robots would be made in a different way for each robot, like each robot would have a special ability.
For example one will have laser vision, one would have x-ray vision, and one would have multiple gun wear on him like machine guns, but there is no trick to buying them others will be more expensive then others.
Now these robots would be sold in three different places in the USA. Those places would be in the three corners in the United States. They will always be available I will never go out of stock.
The only people that I would hire are friends that I trust and have a good friendship with.

Yesterday I went paint balling with some of my old friends that I used to live with. I dressed up in this big coat and some sweat pants underneath my jeans, so if I got hit I wouldn’t have too big of a bruise. Once you get out on the field your adrenaline is pumping so hard that you cant really feel any pain anyways. I got shot in the back a few times but since I was wearing a coat the impact wasn’t too hard. Then towards the last game I got shot right in the leg and I have a welt the size of a soft ball. I think that playing sports and playing paint ball is a really good stress reliever and it is a good way to get your anger out in a positive way. I’m not saying that the only time to play sports is when your pissed off, but it does help. Going out and playing games like paint ball is a fun way to socialize because after you shoot someone you both have something to talk about.

My Weekend


This weekend I get my first home visit sleepover I’m really excited and I hope that it is going to be fun. But I need to be good because my last few home visits I’ve been doing dumb stuff and making dumb decisions so this home visit I’m going to do the best that I can and listen to my parents. Also I need to spend more time with them instead of my friends especially my sister cause I think I need to be a better role model to her. I think this cause my mom always says my sister is just like me. That’s a good thing. I think until when she gets older she will probably get in a lot of trouble like me too. That’s one thing I don’t want to see happen so this weekend I’m going take my sister to do something fun and talk to her about stuff that she needs to know.

My Halloween

My Halloween was great I got to hang out with friends and I had allot of fun even though I only went to 3 houses to get candy lol well anyways I think I am getting maybe a little to old to go trick or treating anyway I think Halloween is such a great holiday for kids cause they get to go out and get free candy so when families are not that wealthy when Halloween comes around the kids can get as much candy as they want and no matter what one piece of candy just one it does not matter what kind it is it will make them happy no matter what because Halloween is such an exciting holiday for everyone there are two three things I think you can do on Halloween one is spend time with your family two is you can get free candy three you can go to parties but always be safe on Halloween no matter were you are at or what you are doing…

Summit Staff

This is what I think of summit staff… The staff here at summit high is most likely the coolest and most relaxed staff you will ever find anywhere. Except Lesli, she’s not as chill as everyone else. Then there’s Tyler who always makes sure everything has to be perfect. Then there’s Jason who’s the ‘wenas warrior’… Pfft what’s that! Just kidding Jason. Ben is Ben and no one can change that. Matt hates his second period. Jesseca is large and IN CHARGE! Doug… you big teddy bear. Dan… the man… yeah right… Jared the caring counselor. Brian the guitar slappin’ blonde haired counselor that rocks your socks! Then everyone else who works… THEY’RE the chill ones!

Austin

I think Halloween I a day that every can dress like a dumb ask and get smashed. Really that’s all that its about I cant stand dressing up like a freak unless I don’t know what I’m doing. Well anyway I’m going on a home visit and taking my baby nephew out trick or treating and chilling with my sister in-law’s family. I hope that it will be better than last Halloween. I got smashed I really don’t remember to much ecept I got a ticket for under age drinking.

Techno

Who doesn’t love techno and other assorted dance music?! I’ve only been introduced to this style of music lately, and this music blows my mind! The repetition of the ten minute long songs are extremely popular with rave parties, clubs, and dance parties.


Right now I’m listening to Infected Mushroom and although it is not the best that I’ve heard, but it is definitely one of the more popular groups. These styles of music are fun to dance to even when not under the influence of any drugs. Everyone should like this kind of music because I think that it is insane!! What I say goes! Anyway you have to try listening to this music when it is turned up very loud. The louder it is the more extreme it is.

Austin
