Halloween!

Halloween is the time of year were normal people can be crazy or crazy people can be even more crazy. To me being scared for fun doesn't make the top of my list, but I do love to wear awesome costumes! Wearing a costume makes you something that you would never think of being, such as a mime, Oopma Loompa, crazy punk rocker, which I have once dressed up as in the past three years. At my old school we always had a Halloween Social for the middle school, and there was always a costume contest. In 6Th grade I was a mime and won over all, and in 8Th grade I was a Oopma Loompa and won over all! I was know to have crazy costumes and to go all out for things like that.

Halloween is fun and you get candy but why is it based on getting frightened? Well I went looking and this is what I found.

It is interesting how such main holidays start the way they do. They were all basically celebrations or partys, like Christmas it's Jesus' birthday.

Halloween is mainly like any other holiday,except people get very creepy but, it's funny the ranges of people who go all out or do nothing there is a few in between people but either you love it and try to scare the crap out of people or you put a smiley face pumpkin on your porch. I am one of the in between people, I don't like to scare people on Halloween because I don't liked to be scared, I have a pumpkin on my porch that is kind of smiling but I had to do something easy. Another weird thing is why do we care pumpkins? Why not apples?
Well the answer is because the faces were supposed to represent the faces of the people who died.

Halloween is fun for almost all ages, most people enjoy candy, holidays and new things. I do but sometimes people need to take it down a notch and not have blood dripping out of a tree because to me that is a little bit over bored. I think Halloween is just another holiday but I can guarantee a lot of people disagree but that's their opinion not mine.

Halloween shouldn't be so scary because not everyone enjoys that, when Halloween strolls around people bring out the scary movies and creepy masks but those are not just for Halloween, if people brought stuff like that out some other time it wouldn't probably be such a creepy holiday but then it really wouldn't be the Halloween we all know and love.

Have a fun filled and safe Halloween!!!

The Office

Everyone has their favorite TV show, some say they love all of them but one always out shines the others. I watch many shows and one stands out the most, The Office. This so is the funniest show I have ever watched, you laugh till the end. It is about what other than people working in an office but they make the best office any where. You have to have a certain type of humor to enjoy it, but you some times you really don't.

This show is makes my whole family laugh! It's humor is most of the time stupid humor, but it is all around funny. If that was the only show I could ever watch that would be it. The show is full of ranges of people with their own sense of humor so most people enjoy it. One time i was watching it and I chocked on water because it was so funny! A lot of people enjoy this but I love it.

When you watch the show a joke might happen that is not funny then they add something to it, to make it pee your pants funny. The writers for this show are genius! If you haven't ever seen this show I really recommend it. It is a addicting show, it's like someone gives you a bite of your favorite food, then takes it away wanting more. To make this show better like all shows do they add twists. It is supposed to be like it is a real office and they get interviewed and they have really great actors for this show, if I was on set I would not be able to help because I would always be laughing.


Michael Scott,the manager, is super funny and picks his favorites, and he hates this one gut Tobey and no one knows why so it makes it even more funny. There is a love relationship between Jim and Pam. Dwight is the crazy outside of the box guy, he thinks he could be James Bond, but there is no way. There are more people in the office but these are some of the main people.

I really recommend this show for people who love to laugh. It really can be someones show of the week like mine. I watch other funny shows like Ugly Betty and Glee but nothing can be compared to The office. Look for it if you don't have anything better to do or look for when you should be your homework, because The Office is worth it! So turn on your TV and look for and watch it! You may want to rent the seasons first to catch up but that is more enjoyment for you.

Poverty, how it affects us all.

Poverty hits everywhere. People only think about themselves, they need to look out the window and see the hobo walking down the street in 20 degree weather. When people see these people they think, why can't these people get jobs those lazy people, stop sticking your cups out for money. People think they have it bad when they have to wait in a long line for dinner, while the homeless people are more than happy to wait in line at the soup kitchen. People need to take a step back and see how they can help others, instead of buying the latest flat screen TV.

More than three billion people in the world live on $2.50 a day. One billion children live in poverty, 640 million live without shelter, 400 million don't have access to safe water, 270 have have no access to health service and in 2003 29,000 children died each day because of poverty. Don't believe me look for yourself.http://www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats People who are in poverty don't have access to normal things in life such as, Doctor, education and everyday things to other people.

A lot of people think that poor or homeless people are dirt bags and lost their life due to drugs or alcohol. In real life people in poverty could have lost there jobs or things in life just didn't benefit them. They may be living in a box and are wearing winter coats on 90 degree days, but that's how things go in life sometimes. People take for granted that they have what they have. There are some people have it bad themselves, but help people who have it worse. People in the world need to see the poverty growth and help!


Poverty hits everyone even if you don't think it does. Everyone is affected by money. Money makes the world go round and when you don't have it stops. Homeless people can be affected by it when the rest of the world has a low amount of money. They depend on donations from other people and when people themselves need it they can't share. Yes, there are people who the economic down fall hasn't effected, but they aren't the people who she homeless or poor people to help.

I have always been trying to help homeless and poor people. At my old school I always donated food to the food depot they had. I had also worked many hour at the food depot. I wanted to help and I'm sure others do too, but they need to take the step towards the light and do the right thing, even if your friends think it's stupid. Make a difference, be the difference!

My favorite: The Jonas Brothers

You ask me who's my favorite band is, you'll get on quick answer, the Jonas Brothers. I can talk about them for days. They have been and still are a big part of my life. I have liked them since 2006. They are the greatest band to me, other people hate them but I don't care because I have my opinion and they have theirs.

Here is some info about them. There is three of them, actually four but only three are in the band. There is Kevin,22, Joe,20, and Nick,16. They are from New Jersey and have always had music in their life. Music is their passion, that's why they have a band. They sing pop songs, and are teenage girl heartthrobs. Joe is the lead singer, Kevin is lead guitar and Nick is singer, guitar, piano and drums. They have a little brother named Frankie who is 9. Frankie wants to be in the band one day, he already is playing drums.

I have been fortunate enough to go to two of their concerts, I didn't have to pay for any of them. I went in the summer of 08 and 09. I never knew how something could get better but it did because the concert in 09 was the best concert I have ever been to. Both times I went with friends so it made the experience more memorable. Joe is my favorite Jonas Brother, for one because he's hot and the other is because he is good at what he does. Seeing Joe live was the best thing ever! It takes me awhile after the show to understand I just the Jonas Brothers in person and been in the same room as them.

My family thinks I'm to obsessed but I have OJD(Obsessive Jonas Disorder) and I am proud! My family buys me Jonas stuff if they see it because they do know how crazy I am about them, for instance I got a Joe Jonas pillow last year with my name on it! If I see them on TV I make everyone be quiet so I can see and hear them. People don't really understand why I am this crazy about them, but it's like everyone has a favorite band and some are crazy about them and others just enjoy them,I am one of thise crazy fans. I am trying to learn piano just to play their songs. People need to understand that I L-O-V-E this band and they need to deal with it.

The Jonas Brothers bring me joy when I need it the most. I always watch their show, too. I own all of their Cd's and have both of their movies. I have 22 posters on my wall at my dad's and 27 posters at my mom's. I am running out of space on my walls but I find a place for posters.

I'll stop now so I don;t bore you but I could keep going on, for awhile. I hoped you enjoyed my Jonas Brother info and my love for them.

First Day Of High School

Getting to school was very nerve-racking.  The drive seemed to be going on for miles when it's actually only 0.9 of a mile.  It didn't help with my dad constantly asking me, "Are you nervous?"  He asked this question almost ten times.  I responded each time with "yes, very nervous."  Once my dad dropped me off I knew I had no choice but to go to school.  I took slow, careful steps.  Passing through the blue steel doors was threatening, but I went along anyway.  The aroma of stiff air, from no one being in the building all summer, filled my nose.  Squeaking shoes, gossip about summer, lockers opening, and teachers welcoming students was heard all over the school.  While walking to my locker I thought to myself, "This is my new home-away-from-home, so now I need to make the best of it and work hard."
Finding my locker wasn't the difficult part; it was just the worries about opening it.  My locker opened with ease, which was a sign of a good start.  I stood at my locker not knowing what to do next; should I start off to class, or just stand there looking more and more like a freshman every second.  I decided to make my way to class, feeling like an ant on a busy side walk, dodging one person and trying not to run into another.
I arrived to Spanish early, but it didn't seem so early because most of the class was already there.  I found that there was a seating chart, which I found slightly difficult. I looked at it for a few seconds, trying to not look like an idiot.  So I went where I thought I was supposed to be and someone was already there.  I was puzzled so I said, "I think you're in my seat."  Of course I was wrong and I felt really stupid.  The teacher came in and helped me out.  Other people needed her help too, so I didn't feel too bad.  She had such a big smile on her face it was kind of shocking.  Everything we learned in that class I pretty much already knew, so I was happy.  I looked at the clock and saw that the class was almost over.  Knots immediately came into my stomach because I knew that I had to do this all over again in the next class.  I felt better when I realized that the next class was the one I was looking forward to all summer, Photography.
I speed-walked down the halls to my locker and changed out my Spanish supplies to my Photography ones.  The Photography room is down the same hall as my locker, so I didn't have to race back into the other hectic halls.  As I entered the room the chemicals smacked my face.  This was a familiar smell, and somewhat comforting to me.  It was a comforting scent because photography is a big hobby in my house, and the smell of our dark room at home smelled the same.  This class is what I wanted most of all.  I already knew most of what was going on.  I thought that this was the perfect class for me.  The teacher was very nice, and very smart about photography.
My first day was a pretty good day; yeah, it had its ups and downs, but I made it out alive.  That day I really understood the saying, "when life gives you lemons make lemonade".  Now my outlook on life is different, because I can’t think that everything is always going to go my way. When something doesn’t go my way I can’t throw a fit, I have to just make it work.
