Youtube

I cannot remember life without youtube. Getting on youtube is a daily routine for most people these days and I was wondering, and honestly, what did we do before youtube? Where were all the videos? To be honest, it would be absolutely horrible. It would be so difficult to share videos, find good ones, or watch the really bad ones (i.e. Friday). So heres to you, youtube. Dont know where we'd be without you.

End of Quarters

I'm going to make this short and sweet: I hate the end of quarters. I understand that teachers have to get their test and quiz grades in, but please, I'm begging you, don't all do it at the same time. I have had six tests in this one week and I cannot wait for this horrible week to be over, as long as I maintained my A's. I'd be lying if I didnt say that being exempt from the exam is the main reason i strive for an A in any class.

Chain Letter NO.7

As Stacey woke up the next morning on the moon she remembered how much fun she had with Ken and Keith last night. But she still was in shock that she was on the moon! Soon she would be leaving back to her home in San Francisco. “Stacey is there anything you want to do on the moon before you leave the moon?” Keith asked. “Let’s race the moon cars!” Stacey knew she would have fun, she loved the moon cars and it would be fun to see the moon more. “Ok let’s do it!” Keith and Stacey both got into their moon cars and started their engines. Their goal was to go all the way to the fifth crater, circle it, and head back. It was going to be quite an adventure. When the race started she could feel the power of the car racing through the space air. “This is amazing!” She thought to herself. After seeing four amazing craters of the moon she is coming round the fifth crater. Going very fast she hit a pot hole and the car started to flip over and over again. She could not get the car to stop rolling. Stacey became very scared…

Miami Heat

Throughout the history of sports, it has been well-known that the best teams have struggled at some point. The new big three of South Beach are no exception to this principle, although many never saw it coming. The Heat have lost five straight, all of which have been against quality teams that they could face in the playoffs. It appears as if the players aren't quite comfortable playing in this type of system, but why should they be? No other players in history have had so much talent in their starting lineup as this team does.

What many people are wondering is if this will last. Will the "Big Three" fail? Will they ever actually compete for a championship? The answer is far too simple: yes. They will get their game back, and any who doubt it our stupid. The team is struggling now, that's it. In an eighty-two game season, it'll happen. What separates the good teams from the bad teams is how long it takes to fix it and how they respond.

The Heat will play the defending champion Lakers next, a perfect opportunity for them to shut up their critics, or just give them more to feed on. I believe the
Heat will show that they have talent and can build off one another against the Champs. Winning that game will no doubt spring them forward through the rest of the season and I believe will be their signature victory of the regular season.

Chain Letter NO. 6

Stacey watched the concert and could not stop thinking about him. “How would Keith ever like a girl like me?” After she thought the show was over Keith came out and had an encore presentation. Her heart raced as she endearingly loved the song. She was having so much fun she lost track of time and forgot the plan to get Keith back to the beach. Suddenly she thought, “Were did Keith go?” He had already left the concert. Stacey stood there trying to bust her way through the huge crowd. She decided maybe before he would go to his next concert he would stop by the hotel to say goodbye. When she got back, the front desk gave her a note which said:
Dear Stacey,
It was a great experience traveling with you and saving you from the shark. I would like to spend more time with you but I can’t because I have an obligation to the tour. I wish we could see each other again but I just don’t know how we could. Have a great life and live life to its fullest…
-Keith Urban
Stacey was almost in tears but suddenly she heard a recognizable voice that she thought may help her with her plan. Phileus Fog and Passaportout were just about to embark on their journey. Stacey asked which direction they were headed. They said “We are first headed for Paris, France.” Passaportout said with confidence. “Perfect!” Stacey thought to herself. Keith Urban’s next concert was there. “Can I still come along? I need to get to Paris to see Keith.” “Sure, anytime!” Phileus Fog stated. Stacey was very excited and nervous about her upcoming journey across the Atlantic…

Chain Letter NO. 5

Wandering through New York, they were all amazed at the sights and how beautiful it was. They were all exhausted and Sir Phileas suggested they all take a night of rest at a Holiday Inn Express. After they checked in, Sir Phileas and Passapartout invited the lifeguard and Stacy (the girl) to join them on their trip to circumnavigate the globe. Keith and Stacy both were a little uneasy but agreed knowing this would be an amazing experience. That night the girl woke up abruptly from a nightmare and could not fall back to sleep. To get her mind off of the nightmare, she decided to take a stroll through New York’s Central Park....

Chain Letter NO.4

Suddenly, Stacey feels someone grabbing her by the shoulders and screaming, “Stacey! Wake up Stacey!” This beautiful dream comes crashing down and she is quickly immersed into a horrific reality. “Oh, thank God!”, Ken exclaims after he sees her come back to consciousness. Stacey looks around and sees chaos all around her. Her head was throbbing as she noticed that her vehicle’s windshield was shattered and the front of the car was bashed in. From what she could figure, she had been sent flying from her car after colliding with Keith and had smashed her head on the ground. But almost more horrifying, was the state of Keith’s car. Not only was his windshield broken and front destroyed, but his car had been flipped several times.
She looked and could see a crowd of people surrounding the driver’s side of his vehicle, with two emergency workers in the middle. She knew that Keith was the one being attended to. Her eyes began to fill with tears as several emergency workers came sprinting to her side. They began to check up on her and asked her several questions, but all she could do was focus on Keith. She soon saw a stretcher being brought over to his position as she could see his lifeless body being secured down…
