I think that there should not be a certain amount of time a person should have to grieve when a loved one dies cuz I have had a lot of people who were close to me die and it is not something that there should be a time limit on cuz it takes time to get over stuff like that. I personally have not stopped grieving about deaths that have happened in my life and some of them I probably never will get over but those deaths will not stop me from enjoying life those deaths will only make me a stronger person cuz I will be able to help other people deal with deaths of loved ones better cuz I have already experienced some of what they might be going through.

I’m planning on driving down to San Diego at the end of the month to take a little vacation. I really hate the cold and snow, so I’m really looking forward to going somewhere warm. I think that the best part is going to be drive down there because of the people I will be going with. I’m hoping that we will stay in Vegas for a few days because it would be fun to hit the strip a little bit. Honestly I’m just excited to get out of the cold. I know that it wont be too much warmer, but I wont have to look at any more snow. Besides going to Vegas and going through St George, I don’t really know of anything that would be really fun to do on my way their, so if anyone knows of something that is fun to stop and do let me know. Other then looking forward to going on my road trip there really isn’t anything else that is going on in my life.

IF SCHOOL REALLY IS HARD OR NOT

I think that whether school is hard or not really depends on the person and what has gone on in their life and how their feelings are inside. I think school will always be hard no matter how easy they make it. Cause for me, it’s not the work that is hard it’s coming to school and spending six or seven hours of they day learning. I think if school was only an hour then we could learn the hardest stuff ever and I would still get an A+. Although, the bad side to that is that people would not be as smart. Cause the ones that could do six hours a day of school only do only one hour. So they don’t get as much information a day as they would in a six hour school. Sometimes when I come to school I leave early because I can’t pay attention anymore in school and it just gets to boring. I am trying to learn how to like school or how to just deal with it. Cause this year I am paying the consequences of leaving school early by still being in school right now. When I should be all ready graduated and out in the real world having a real job. I want to support a family some day. I think it is worth it to come to high school again and be a super senior, Just as long as I get my high school diploma. If I don’t I wont able to make enough money and I wont get a family.

I got court on the 29th. That’s like 13 days away. I’ve been out here for about 7 months and I hope I go home. I’m sick of everyone’s over dramatic drama out here it seems like everyone has something to cry about… But it’s whatever I know what I have to do to go home and stay out of places like this!... I’m sick of being held down… So hopefully if I get out im going too leave some of the old people alone get a job, go to school pretty much do whatever it takes too get my self out of the system and terminated, so that I can do whatever I want whenever I want without having that feeling like I have to worry about something. So that I can really do whatever without and one ever telling me I can’t do it!

Giving dating advise to a younger sibling.

If I was my younger brother or sister I wouldn’t ask me to give advice about dating. If they did ask I’d tell them to take it slow and watch out because people can be scandalous. I’d have to tell them to keep their pants on too. Because if they get pregnant I’ll have to beat the hello out of them. If they do get pregnant then I’d tell them they’d better take care of that baby because I didn’t have a daddy growing up and it sucked a lot. But if they couldn’t take care of the baby put him/her up for adoption to give their baby the best life possible. I’d also have to tell them to be matcher too. Like if they hear that their boy or girl friend are cheating on them then talk about it and not jump to conclusions. Shoot I need to listen to my own advice.
That’s my two scents about dating.

When my kids are leaving my house I’m going to tell them to do the best they can and if they ever need any help with anything I’m gonna be their for then and they better not forget it. But I don’t think there going to go to college because with the way I am I do want to go to college but I don’t what my major would be. I’m just going to let them decide whether or not they want to go and, if so than I will pay for half of their fees. If they don’t they better atleats finish high school, or I’m not helping them with anything because if you graduate from high school you have a better chance of getting a good job.

I believe that someone should only grieve someone’s death for a month because more than that is obsessing over what you can’t control. After that you just need to get drunk.
That makes you just forget about it but you do it too much you become a alcoholic and you rely on alcohol to feel better. You also will have to try to stop thinking about it because it will hurt more than when it happened and that you will have to find something to replace them. I know from experience. When my brother died I felt like it was my fault and it hurt so bad that I wanted to die as well. It was thanks to my family I’m still here. Some people will never get over it completely. It also depends on how close you are to the person whether you get over it or not. Most people don’t though and it’s hard to give advice on it when you don’t know everything.

I think that there’s not a certain amount of time for someone to go through for them to be able to get over someone dying. It all depends on how close they were to the other person. For me it was pretty hard when my little brother passed. I was so close to him that I couldn’t believe that he was gone. I was so sure that he would make it that I didn’t want to realize that he was really gone. He was so much like me. Everything I liked, he liked. Everywhere I went, he went. Even though he was just a little kid we were like best friends. It took me a while to be able to slowly start going back to the person I was before. Still to this day I don’t think I am the same, and I don’t think that I will be who I use to be. I think that even after things like this happen no one can go back to being the same. It is possible but it takes a long time and strength.

I know that the king of hamlet is killed by his brother. His son avenged his death because his spirit visits him and tells him who killed him. So he kills his uncle and its one of the biggest name in the history of Shakespeare out of his plays. Its well known by pretty much everyone that’s all I really know about hamlet. I know he also has a lot of plays.


I know that Shakespeare was a poem writer, play writer, and he married a girl that was
30 and he was like 16. He married her for the money! He went from England to London and he retired. He died at like 64. Also he wrote about 37 plays like Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, hamlet, mid summer nights dream. He also wrote about kings and he would write poems to men to get money.

TY

Man I’m tired of fake girls they say they care and they do nothing but play. I’m not trying to point one girl out, but girls are scandalous and I’m tired of it. I have one question for ya’ll. I know dudes play, but do all the females in this school think that guy are just players? Or is it fun to hurt guys that care about you? If you think its fun to play then stay single and don’t promise to be with someone unless you mean it. Oh and if you think that anyone can keep their mouth shut in this school than your tripping. So if your playing someone or have played someone don’t brag about it because all that its going to do is hurt people, or spark some stupid drama that’s going to start a fight.

So I had court on Wednesday hoping it was going to be going good. I mean everyone had said to me and my family that basically I had a very good chance of going home and that they were all going to be saying that I had the skills enough to go and make it there. And my caseworker had said that if my dad told her the “plan” to move back to Canada and divorce my step-mom. But my dad forgot to call her. And then out of nowhere the plans all changed and it really pissed me off because they never even told me what the court report was going to say. But that day I came to Price earlier than at 1pm. So I got there and then my parents started fighting like crazy. Like my step mom started to get mad at my dad about how I used to get into trouble with the law constantly. And I didn’t really know what to do. So I just got ready and did my hair. Then we went to court and turns out my parents have decided to not get divorced but try their marriage again. And I’m very pissed about that. That everyone shouldn’t have changed everything on me and then NOT tell me! That’s just messed up. So I pretty much went to court blind with this crazy thought of going home! But then when we got there about 1/2 early my step mom starts a fight with my foster mom! I could not believe it…at all. So pretty much court went so horrible I just started crying and I couldn’t stop. Then my dad got taken to jail for a speeding ticket from when our truck got stolen in October. So I cried even harder then! But luckily he got out like 3 or 4 hours later. But I just had the like the roughest day on Wednesday. I’m surprised I'm here and doing well!

My break was ok. I spent most of my break time at Angelo’s house for the holidays. I was over there a few days before Christmas and gave him his presents, I got him a watch, a t-shirt, and a cd. He gave me a ring for my Christmas present. The next day my foster mom’s car broke down in the Wal Mart parking lot , and we didn’t get it towed or fixed until the day before New Years Eve. I spent the day of New Years Eve over at Angelo’s house from 6 p.m. until around 12:30 a.m., we ate with his proctor family and then played games. I had so much fun. On Christmas I woke up around seven and unwrapped the presents that were from my foster mom. Then went to sleep until ten to only open presents with the rest of my foster family. I enjoyed myself most of the time. I do wish it was a little bit longer so I could catch up on my sleep.

If I get locked up please pray.
That I get out before I lay in my grave.
Cause I don’t want to be locked up behind bars.
I’d rather just be in a mansion with my own fancy cars.
So you know I’m making wishes on them shooting stars.
Maybe one day they might come true.
I had a dream that with angels I flew.
And these angels told me the things I had to do.
One of these things was to just be real.
And I’ll get my dreams of dollar bills.
And I’ll never starve cause mama will always cook me a meal.
So I guess I’m going to have to do what the angels said.
Before my dreams don’t come true or I end up dead.
So I’m going to do good while you all try to bad instead.
Cause if you can’t do it you weak.
So your choice if you want to be in the court system for your life but I’d rather be free
So do your thing I’ll do mine peace.

Justin

My break
My break was great besides that I got my phone taken on Christmas eve, but other than that my break was pretty good.
I got to see all of my family again and that made me happy and I got all that I wanted for Christmas.
What made my break the best is that I got a new girlfriend and she makes me happy too.
My feelings about the snow is that, I love it to snow and I like playing in the snow in every different way that I can, like building things, snowmobiling and stuff like that.
The reason why I like it the best though is that you can go drifting in it its so much fun going drifting and sliding around.
I don’t see why no one likes that. It’s safe if you know how to drive in it and definitely fun.

I have no clue what I should write about for the blog today, so I guess I ‘ll just have to write about what I did over the dumb break. To start off with I got to say that those two weeks have to be two of the most boring weeks of my life! Man it sucked…. A fat one! (A fat toe by the way you sick minded people) anyways like I was saying, Christmas was boring. It didn’t even seem like Christmas to me. It seemed like it was just another one of those really boring Sundays. New years was better than Christmas but it still doesn’t beat the new years from the year before. There is one thing that I am proud of. I didn’t get in trouble and I was sober for both Christmas and New years. I was so sober I was the designated driver at the end of the night. Last year I was the one getting into all the trouble and doing all the things I shouldn’t have done. Last year was so much fun though. That’s why I don’t regret any of the things I did.

I am sitting next to Zach and he recommended that I talk about jell-o. Jell-o is a very interesting subject. What is jell-o? If you really think about Jell-o, you wonder if it is water or a food. You don’t drink it, you don’t eat it so what is it? When you consume jell-o you slurp it. Different people eat Jell-o at different times. Jell-o is one of those foods that you can have at any occasion. You can enjoy the delicious taste of Jell-o during Christmas and other holidays. Jell-o comes in all different shapes and colors. I have seen a Green Jell-o in the shape of a Christmas tree, and orange Jell-o in a round pumpkin shape. I have not met one person that does not like Jell-o because it’s a fun food to eat. The only downside to Jell-o is that you have to wait for it to cool in the fridge before eating it. Everyone eat Jell-0!

My Social Theory

Ok so while my associate is on the left writing obnoxiously about so-called substance of jell-o, I will write the real life story of the cantaloupe man. Although this story is not premeditated, I think that it will be good enough to make the teacher happy. no scratch that I thought that we were writing about something, but if Karissa gets to write about jell-o, then I will beat her with my story. I guess this guy used to have a cantaloupe and he ate it then he went to work but he felt sick because he ate a whole damn cantaloupe! So when he finally got off work he went to a party at jungle jims and talked to a girl he met at a coffee shop until he threw up all over her BECAUSE HE WAS CANTALOUPE! !HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack

Dignity is I don’t really know what to say its like when you are proud. That’s what I think at least anyways. How you can lose your dignity is doing something without caring about your morals. Like if I fought someone without a good reason.

I can’t wait until Christmas. I’m so happy I get a home visit. That will be cool I love my family and I love spending time with them.
It will also be because I will be free I cant wait until January.

I can’t wait until I get out of my program I want to go home. I will also go to California for my birthday. I miss California and the family I have there also my friends.

Today I am writing on how I think that love and spinning have in common. Two reasons are: both are exiting, and that both we have to watch out for the fall. Like in love there’s always the mysteriousness that maybe is scary and intense. Kind of like spinning because in spinning the thing is, is that spinning can also be scary and intense. I mean because there’s this chance that you can fall and hurt yourself or someone can get in the way. In love it’s the mysteriousness that usually gets us the way we are. Because even though both are fun and exiting, we always take the chance that maybe we are going to get hurt and maybe just by chance we do fall and can’t get up for a minute. Because who is going to be there to help us up again. Surely in my opinion the people that understand the most are your best-friend’s or the people who understand and know you. Like me I like to have my friends support me when things go wrong. So if I was you or you were I. I would watch out for the fall.

The Holiday Season

From October on is the most holiday filled months! We’ll start with Halloween. Halloween is extremely popular, and in my opinion one of the more enjoyed holiday for mainly youngsters. Then there are the rest of the holidays (meh). I guess I’m just going to talk about Halloween then. It is fun in the night to hide and scare the little kids. It’s all in good fun, but sometimes you need to be careful! Someone could smack you if you scare him or her! You could go as anything!! A lot of people think that you have to be young to go trick or treating. There is no age limit! Anyone who enjoys trick or treating should go out and do it.
