stories from websites

From the Washington article I agree with it, more and more people are on it than ever.
From the business post not many people read the whole thing they mainly just skim over it and don't know exactly what the y read.
From the blog.wired post people need to be able to delete things easier so that they won't have a 3-day media affair.
And finally from the website blog.face book it pretty much talks about that there are a lot of people who go on face book and if they were a country the would be the sixth favorite country.

how technology has impacted my life

Today we are supposed to say how technology has impacted my life. Technology has impacted me because without it I would be really bored at home. When I get home the most that I normally do is do my homework and then either on the weekends play video games or watch t.v. everyday. When I am not watching t.v. I am eating or also reading. I also play video games or watch t.v. because I get bored of doing nothing all day, I even get bored when I am reading so I just sit around at home or doing something else.

my favorite baseball team

Today we are supposed to write what our favorite baseball team is and look up their schedule. I am not that much into baseball however my favorite team would probably be the Kansas Royals. If you go to this website about the Kansas City Royals schedule and on the left side click February 2009 you will see their schedule for this month about when they play and where they will play at.

Today is President's Day and so it is after Abe Lincoln's birthday and from the website http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619
it talks about celebrating Lincoln's birthday and it says that 65 historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as the best U.S. president.
I think that that is true because he helped make this place better, he helped African Americans be free.

A problem that we have in life and how we plan to resolve it

Today we are supposed to talk about a problem we have in life and how we can solve it. My problem is anger, I have a lot of trouble controlling it and being happier. Every time I look at my youngest sister it reminds me of all of the bad times that we had, and then not only do I get mad but we start arguing.
I have tired many things to calm myself down and some have worked for a while, but what I find the easiest way to calm down is to start playing a song in my head or start thinking of lines from a movie in my head and almost every time I do that stuff it helps me think about something else and then a get happy. Another way I will do is take a deep breath and just relax, not only does that help me be happier but I use it when I get mad in golf.

what I am doing on Valentine's day

Today my friend Logan and I had to come up with the topic. We came up with a topic of what we are doing on Valentine's Day. Well for me I do not have a girlfriend so on Friday I will probably stay up late and when I wake up do whatever until I would have to go to work at 1. When I get home I will eat supper and then take a shower and probably spend the rest of the day doing homework until it is done or watch t.v./play the wii. That is probably all that I am going to do on Saturday.

if I was a food and why

For the next day of the 30 day challenge the topic is what food we would be and why. First of all I would probably be a pizza. The reason for that is because pizza is my favorite food, and it would be interesting to see myself as a pizza.

If you were a superhero...

If I was a superhero I would like to have super speed and super strength and also be able to fly. Maybe even be immortal and also be smart. I would also like to use lightning and make clones and be able to block anything. I would be like Hancock and use my powers for good and cause a lot of damage, sometimes I would even use my powers to do whatever I wanted since I can not be stopped.
I probably would not worry about hiding at my house or wearing a costume or also wear a mask. I would not have to because I can defend myself and stop whoever tried to hurt me or my family.
I also can destroy anything in my path with some lightning and also capture anyone fast with some speed and clones.

Choices I made over the weekend

I decided to go to pep band half an hour before work got done. I did it so that I could hang out with my friends and so I may be able to letter in band. It was a bad thing probably because there was only one person to work and if there was a lot of people there then he would have a long time to get done and he would want to leave but he can't.

I decided to watch the Dark Knight with my dad, because I love the movie and because I wanted to watch it with him. It was bad because I could have done some other things and t.v. is bad for you.

I read a lot in my book because it is a good book, and because I had nothing else to do. I don't know why it would be a bad thing to read a lot, except for the fact that I could have gotten other things done.

I played the Wii because I was bored and I wanted to play it. I probably should not have played it because I watch a lot of t.v. and because it is bad for me.

I had some ice cream at the basketball game because I was hungry and they were out of popcorn.

I went to sleep some time after midnight on Saturday because I was reading my book and I didn't feel tired.

On Friday I went to bed at about midnight because I didn't feel tired and I also did not have to get up at 5 for work.

my digital history project

My digital topic is about William Peterson, I will say when he was born, and what he did. I will also tell what he plans to do in the future and what he is doing now. The only thing right now that I know about him is that he played on my favorite song and as one of my favorite characters. He played Gil Grissom from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He is still one of the directors, he is just done playing Grissom.

A night on the town:

This is for my night.
If I went out to town I would go take a shower, put on deodorant, put on a nice shirt some black dress pants and then I would head out. I would go to a movie and then I would go out to eat. After that I would go home and probably either go to bed or watch t.v.

This is if I was Peter Griffin.
If I was Peter Griffin I would dress in a white shirt and green pants. Then I would go to the bar with either Lois or Cleavland, Joe, and Quagmire and we would stay there most of the night and probably get drunk and then go home, and go to sleep.

This is if I was a girl.
I would take a shower, put on make-up, get on a nice dress, make my hair nice. Then I would go out with my friends, maybe to a movie or out to eat or also driving around. After I got home I would go to bed.

This is for if I was a teen from the 50's.
I would take a shower, get all nice and neat, and then head out. I would get into my car and go to the movies or the a shake shop. Then I would head home at midnight and go to bed.

This is for if I was a fish.
I would swim from my sea house and I would swim to my friends and then we would go to a shark and get swallowed, then someone would find the shark and end up eating him too.

And finally this is if I was a caveman.
I would grab my spear and walk out of the cave. Then I would go and meet whoever and we would walk around or run into a dinosaur and we would try and kill it. Then we would take it home and eat it. after that we would probably see a T-Rex and run away and end up getting eaten by it.

how I am doing at my goals

My goals is to pass all of my school classes and to not be in encore for Algebra 2 and world history. So far I am making my school goals but I am close to being in encore for world history. My long term goals is to be nicer to my sister and letting my mom know where I am going. It is going okay for being nicer to my sister and for letting my mom know where I am going I am telling her everything that I am doing.

how I did on my speech

I think that I did okay on my speech I know that it could have been better and I could have gone slower. I think however that for the memorizing part I knew most of it and only forgot a couple of things. Also a way for me to improve on my speech is to just relax, think and talk like I am in front of my friends and to try to not be so nervous on my speech later on in the future.

how I will memorize my speech

Today we have to say how we are going to memorize our speech. For me it will be easy to memorize my speech, the only hard part will be to keep going over and over it, and also trying to remember the definitions for my first paragraph. In order for me to prepare myself I will ask my parents if I can do my speech in front of them so that I can get used to not being so nervous. Then I will have my laptop with me and probably have it open in case I forget something, and that is the only time I will use it. After I present it to them I will ask them what I need to improve on. And if they tell me I will try to improve on it, and if they do not have anything for me to improve on I will go over it a couple of more times.
