Why would a teacher contemplate pursuing another career.
There are many reasons to this question. I think that the most obvious reason that a teacher would consider a change in career would be the pay. I know that most teachers have to go to atleast four years of college, then they get paid unreasonably. I'm not sure if college professors receive alot more pay but I'm sure that it still isnt as much as it should be considering there education, and the service there provoding. Another reason is that some people may have thought that they would enjoy being around children, or teenagers all day. Then they start doing it and find out that they dislike it very much. They could have been pressured by someone to pursue a career in teaching, such as if the persons family had a history of teaching like his/her parents were teachers and there parents were teachers and so on. But there are more reasons to be a teacher then not to be. If you pursue a career in teaching there will always be jobs for you if you have the right education. There will always be teachers, and I don't want to see the day when there is no more teachers.

Journal reflection
Journal Reflection
I have enjoyed doing these journals for the most part. It isn't bad even though we have to do one every day. I haven't been able to do one every day but I have done most of them. I don't think that it has helped me that much in my writing. It is probably because I didn't really try to improve, I just did it as an assignment. I liked that I could write about anything that I wanted. Yet at the same time I disliked it because It's hard for me to be creative enough to think of interesting topics to write about, so I ended up doing most of my journals based on prompts. I always listened to music while I did these assignments, and alot of the time I wanted to write a journal about the music I was listening to. I couldn't think of a very good way to go about it though. I wish that I had given it a try. All in all I enjoyed the assignment and it helped me more then I thought that it would.

Treehouse
"What's a little chlorophyll between friends? Write about a tree or plant that holds an interesting story for you."
When I use to live in shell knob, me and my brother were always doing crazy stuff. One day we decide to make a tree house. It took us a while but eventually we got it done. This thing was awesome. It was not really the greatest tree house. We just kind of put some boards down, and nailed them to the tree. We just made a wooden floor on the thing. We always use to argue about whos tree house it was even though we both made it. I remember one day we were arguing about something and I was standing half on the stairs nailed to the tree with my body through the hole in the floor. I made my brother mad and he punched me in the face. I fell down the tree and hit the ground hard. Needless to say I was mad. I threw a rock at him and hit him in the face with it, then I climbed up the tree and pushed him out of the tree. He started cryin like a little girl. Then he went and told on me even though he hit me first. I got in trouble for it. What a surprise.

911
"Where were you when something incredibly important happened on a worldy level? (i.e. the assassination of Kennedy, the destruction of the World Trade Centers, The Challenger explosion, etc.) Write about it."
I was in sixth grade. Our teachers were acting weird. In my last class our teacher was acting very strange, and emotional. Towards the end of class she began to tell us something. She said that something happened today a few hours ago. She was going to tell us what had happened, then she changed her mind and said that she thinks we should be told by our family when we get home. She got very emotional when she was about to tell us. She was in tears. This was really disturbing and I really wanted to know what happened. But I couldnt find out. I had the longest bus ride ever that day. When I got home, I saw my brother in law watching tv. He was standing in front of the TV. My sister was on the couch watching. I looked and I saw it. It was the towers burning. My sister explained to me what happened. It was a very sad day for me, I didn't think that it would have affected me nearly as much as it did.

Observe and Report
"What book or movie 'blew your mind' when you first read or saw it? Write about that experience."
I recently went and saw the new Seth Rogen movie "Observe and Report". It was a great movie. It was hilarious all throughout. But it was so unexpected. I have seen most of Seth Rogen's movies and this one was a lot different. It was funny though. Seth plays a Mall Cop that has Bi Polar disorder, or something like that. It never says what he has, it just says that he takes medication for it. And a few things start going really well in his life and he stops taking the medication. Then he loses it. He starts doing drugs, stealing, and attacking people. There are so many moments when the movie sets you up to think that something really obvious is about to happen, then BAM something tottaly different and outrageus happens. In one scene he is being arrested and there are about 20 cops. He says that the cops didnt bring enough pigs to take him down. He was wrong. You think that these cops are about to beat the crap out of him. You think he is gonna hit a few before he goes down. He hits every single cop in the face with a flashlight or baton as he walks backwards swinging. It is hilarious they all run in one by one and he knocks them all on the head. They eventually get him though. All in all the movie was so unpredictable and mind blowing.

Heights
"What are you the most afraid of? Write a fictional story (or maybe a true one) about you that would explain to a stranger where your fear came from."
I am afraid of heights. I haven't always been afraid of heights. I'm only afraid of heights in certain situations. I'm not afraid to jump off of a bridge into a lake, but maybe im not because I actually worked up the courage to do it before. The type of height that scares me the most are hills and slopes, especially near roads. I have lived on a bunch of dirt roads in my life. Many of the dirt roads would have large slopes and hills right next to the dirtroad. These always freaked me out. I always felt as if we would get too close to the edge of the road and the car would fall down the hill. That fear also comes from almost driving off of a huge cliff when I was younger. My mom was driving me, my younger brother, and our friend Katrina home one night. We came to a corner on the edge of a cliff, and the wheels locked up and the brakes apparently were not working properly. We got about a foot from the enbankment and we were all freaking out. My mom finnaly was able to pull the car away from the edge. It was a very scary moment. My mom says the wheels locked up and she couldnt turn. I also think she might have fallen asleep behind the wheel. She has a bad history of that.

Slacking
"What happens after the wake-up call? Focus on JUST the first half hour of your waking day. Write a journal entry describing it in depth."
It is 7:30 am on a monday. My Alarm clock goes off. I instantly jump to my feet walk across my room and hit snooze. I jump back into bed. Nine minutes later, the alarm clock goes off again. I hit snooze again. The whole time ive been trying to sleep the last few snoozes, my mom has been griping for me to get up. I ignore her. The alarm clock goes off again, i repeat my procedure one last time. It goes off once more and I finnaly get up. The first thing I do each morning is find some clothes, so I go on the hunt. I never remember to do laundry and make sure that I have clean clothes so I end up having to wear a shirt that has very bad bleach stains. I turn on my computer, and start the Zune program. I just bought a new Zune and I have been piling music and videos on it since I got it. I start downloading the new papa roach CD before I get into the shower. I get out of the shower, get dressed, grab my Zune, phone, and wallet. Then I head out the door.

Tacos
Write about your favorite dish
I don’t honestly have a favorite dish. But I know that it is between a few things. The list of things that I can’t decide which I like more is Crunchy Taco hamburger helper, tacos, and corn beef tacos. Looking at what I just wrote I realize that I love tacos. I didn’t realize before now that al of the dishes that I really look forward to have something to do with tacos. Tacos is obviously my favorite dish.
Making tacos is farely simple. First you just cook some ground meat. You need to bake some Thin Taco shells. I prefer this special brand because there extremely thin and very good. To complete the meal you will need to chop up some Onioins, Tomatoes, Shredded cheese, and some lettuce. You need Salsa and maybe some guacamoli. Then the final touch to make it a meal is to make Nachos. Just use some cheese and Spicy rotel. It is delicious.

Croud surfing
"When did you go with the crowd? OR when did you not go with the crowd? Write about that time."
I went to my first concert my freshmen year. It was a twiztid concert, it also had Project Deadman, and the ROC. I really liked all of these bands. There was alot of moshing, and I had never done it before but I went with the croud and loved it. You got to just throw yourself at anyone and everyone. It was really fun, until you get knocked down. If your in a croud that wont pick you back up instantly then moshing can be pretty ugly. If you get knocked down it SUCKS, but most the time people will pick you back up quick so you don't get hurt badly. Then during a smaller mosh pit, I got shoved into the back of my friend. I broke my nose on my friend Uriahs back. I was bleeding everywhere, but I didn't care. Somehow, and i'm really not sure how, I croud surfed. Keep in mind that I wasnt nearly as big of a guy then. That is a really cool experience I had with going with the crowd, and im really glad I did it.

Tristan
"What do little kids think? Watch a little kid experience something for the first time and write what you think is going through their head. Their first ice cream, first snow ball, first fish caught, first walk barefoot through the grass. Or try one of them yourself and try to imagine what it would be like if it was YOUR first experience."
I remember alot of my nephews first experiences. I lived with my sister when Tristan was two - three years old. I saw him grow alot. When I didn't live with them I still ussualy saw them on a daily basis. I saw him experience alot of things, but none I remember as well as his first lemon.
He was around 3 years old. Me and some others, mostly nephews and neices. were eating lemons. We were pouring a little salt on the lemon and then licking it. It sounds weird, I'm not sure if other people do this, but we did. Tristan was asking to have a lemon, and he wanted salt on it. I tried to do it for him but he just kept crying and saying he wanted to do it himself. So I let him. I knew he would put too much, but he deserved it, he was being a brat. He poured a ton of salt on it, and licked it all off. He just looked at me and I could tell it was way too sour. He starts jumping up and down with this look on his face as if he just ate 100 war heads. Then he did it. He dropped the lemon and started licking the carpter floor. It was the funniest thing at the time. I guess he tried to rub the salt off by licking the carpet.

I wanna be Batman
"What would it be hoping to change? Write a New Year's resolution for something not human...a car, a pet, a job, etc."
My favorite super hero has and always will be Batman. There are a lot of reasons I chose Batman. The biggest one is that he doesnt even have super powers. He is just some average rich boy. But he still has the courage to fight crime, stick up for the weak. His movies and cartoons always had the best villians too. Since Batman had no super powers, neither could the villians. This made the writers have to be much more creative. My favorite villain was of course the Joker, followed by the Riddler, and the penguin. The penguin was stupid but thats what I liked about it. Even today the Villains of Batman are much better then other super hero villains. In the Dark Knight the Joker put on the best performance of any villain. He even one uped his predecessor Jack Nicholson, which was some hard shoes to fill. His Joker performance was great too.

My Zune's
"What would it be hoping to change? Write a New Year's resolution for something not human...a car, a pet, a job, etc."
I got a zune for the first time when i was in sophomore year. I had an ipod before, and I liked the Zune so much more. About a year later it stopped working. It didn't give any signs of a problem or anything. One day it would just not come on. I was upset, I used this thing every single day for hours. It was a lifesaver when I did homework. Without it the bus ride home was the most annoying thing in the world. I soon bought a new Zune from my friend. It wasnt as good, it was only a 4gb instead of a 30, but it worked. it soon stopped working.
I'm a Zune. It's december 31, and im going to make a new years resolution. I am going to keep working no matter what next year. I am not going to quit. No matter how much I have to work, I won't crap out. I will last atleast the next year. I think I will make this resolution next year too. Let's see if I can handle that.

No matter how much I have to work, I won't crap out. I will last atleast the next year. I think I will make this resolution next year too. Let's see if I can handle that.
Christmas
"How cold is too cold? Describe the perfect winter day from your past...or your imagination."
The perfect day would of course have to be on christmas. It would be covered in snow and deep. We would be able to play any snow game. We would have big hills nearby and sled on them. I would get exactly what I wan't for christmas. I few winters ago I was at my friends house, and he had a couple four wheelers. We also had sleds. We tied the sleds to the back of the sled and would get dragged around super fast. It was awesome. We would do that on the perfect winter day also. At one birthday party I went to as a child we took a hood of an old truck, and tied it to a tractor and got pulled around in the snow, we would do that on the perfect winter day as well. It would all end with us making the biggest snowman I have ever seen. Then I would destroy it, which has always been the most fun part of a snowman.

John from Texas
"Who blind-sided you? Write about a time someone caught you totally off guard."
I know that blind side probably isnt suppose to be litteral, but im gonna go with it anyways. I had a friend in Texas named John. We had been friends for a while. One day he knocks my books out of my hands as a joke and laughs. I'm like ok whatever ill get him later. I do the same thing to him after school on the way to the bus. He doesnt really seem mad so I stand there laughing at him. Then he punches me in the nose. I was so surprised that I didnt know what to do. I finnaly realized what happened and started swinging on him. We had a big rumble in the cafateria. It ended with my nose being bloody from the first punch, and his mouth bleeding from a bunch of cuts. Apparently I only aim for the mouth area. The funniest thing about it was that when I was walking away I saw my brother walk by him and just say "Hey, Your bleeding.". It was hilarious.

Bobby is a liar
"Who probably did something that they never admitted to? Write about that person."
I bought a Microsoft Zune mp3 player a few months back. I always wrap the headphones around it and plug it on my computer to charge when im not using it. So I'm getting ready for OTC last week and I noticed that it isnt on the charger and the headphones arent wrapped around it. So I hooked it up to my computer to charge fully while I took a shower. I get out and try to turn it on and it won't come on. I ask my brother about it and he says he didn't use it. I know he did though. Who else could it be? So a few days pass and I jokingly give him shit about it, acting as if I dont think he did it but im still accusing him. Even though i do think he did it. So a few days of that and he finnaly mans up and tells me that he was using it while he slept and it fell in his glass of tea. I couldnt be mad though. I took my old zune, which was much better, to a place to get fixed and it was fixed. So I actually gained something from the ordeal.

St. Patties Day
"How did they get your goat? Write about the time you made your parents the angriest. Tell parts of the story as though they were happening in slow motion."
It was St. Patties day in 2006. My parents were out of town and my brother was over. He invited a couple friends. Those friends invited friends, and before we knew it there was a party with tons of alcohol. There were some girls from school that I knew. One girl didn't really fit in, but it looked like her friend dragged her over. She is the reason we got caught. She called her parents from the party and her mom had found out that she was at a party, so this girl tells her where its at an gets picked up from her mom. The mother calls the police, and the party gets busted. When the cops get there I am smashed drunk. I do the physical drunk test, and at the end when we go back inside, i have to ask to step out on the porch to puke. My parents got called, my brother went to jail. My parents had one of her friends pick me and my younger brother up. I was puking in a bag the whole way. When my parents picked us up later that night I was STILL puking. I puked litteraly the whole way home, it was around a 30 minute drive. Turns out that I had a mild case of alcohol poisoning. Needless to say I didn't drink for a few months. I definitely never drank like that again.

Cart pushing
"What did you wish for most? Write about a time when it was just too hot."
My senoir year I found out that I wasn't going to have enough credit's to graduate. They told me that they had a program that I could do for extra credits. It was a program that rewarded extra credits for working. You had to log a certain amount of hours to get a certain amount of credits. So I had to get a job. I applied at alot of places. The one that hired me was Wal-Mart. I applied for many different positions, but of course they hire me to push carts. I had to do it though. It was winter when I first started, but it seemed like summer hit too fast. I didn't need the job anymore but I really didnt mind it that much. There is a lot of freedom when you work outside, and away from everyone else. During the summer sometimes I felt like dying because it was so hot. I did this for an entire summer. It was hell. Even though I hated it during the summer, it got even worse during the winter. I eventually quit because I just couldnt take the cold anymore. It gets too cold during the winter.

Alcohol
"What made it so bad? Write about your worst habit or about someone else's."
My older brother is an alcoholic. His dad was an alcoholic. I think to myself that thinking of the way his dad treated him or treated our mother, that would be enough to keep him from drinking. It isnt. It isnt always a problem. He recently had a child and he has actually stopped drinking almost entirely. He still does though. He had my mother baby sit one weekend and he drank and him and his girlfriend, baby talons mother, seperated for a week or two. Hopefully him drinking once in 3 months causing him to break up with is gf shortly will be a big hint to stop drinking. But if I know my brother he will blame it on something else. I really wish that he would completely stop drinking. For him, his gf, and his kid. He use to drink close to every day. I would find him in our garage drinking by him self. He doesnt even need anyone to drink with. Ive tried talking to him about it but its never helped. I hope my younger brother doesnt end up like that, he tends to copy our older brother.

What is a place
There are not many places that i can think of that genually interest me enough to write about. I could write about my grandfathers grave, or the graveyard that he is buried in. That place has always been sad but meaningful. When I am there it helps me to remember him, since he died when I was young I don't remember him very well. I could write about my great grandparents house. It is the place that we always celibrate thanksgiving and I always get to visit most of my family there, it is a great place. It use to be better, my great grandfather built them a house 50 years or so ago. That house caught on fire though, now they live in a double wide that my uncle bought for them. It is set up next to the old house though. So we can always see the old house, where I had so many memories from my childhood. There are a few much less significant places im sure, but these seem the most important to me.

Deck the Halls
"What goes on in your head? To not be bored, people often do interesting stuff. Write about a 'game' you play with the world in order to 'kill' boredom."
When I was in middle school I had a music class, and we learned songs on different instruments. One of the songs I learned on Piano was Deck The Halls. I can't remember what school or even what grade it was in because we moved around alot. I remember the music teacher was super hot though. Ever since I learned that song on piano, Ive played a game with it when im bored. I can play this game in a couple different ways. The really weird one is I move my tongue along the top row of my teeth as if they were a keyboard, and my tongue was my finger, and I hit the notes for Deck the Halls. I also sometimes sit and just tap my fingers on a table or desk as if it was a piano, to deck the halls. I compared song lyrics to the amount of keys i stroke on one verse of deck the halls. For instance I hit 17 keys for the first verse of deck the halls. I will sing a song in my head, and tap along with the deck the halls key strokes, and see if the last key of the deck the halls verse happens to also end when a verse from a song im listening to on my zune does. It's kind of hard to explain, because its so weird.

IT was candy man
"What image stuck with you the longest? Write about the scariest movie you ever saw."
I don't really get scared from movies anymore, I mean a few movies can make me jump the first times I watch them but can't genually scare me. But when I was younger there were two movies that really scared me. The first one was IT, by Stephen King. I'm sure you have seen it. It is about an evil clown named Pennywise. I haven't seen it in a long time so I can't remember the details to the movie. I just remember that it scared me when I was younger, but somehow I still really liked the movie. The clown tricking the kid into coming into the sewer early in the movie is what I think made me see him as a very scary figure. "They all float down here".
The other movie that scared me I still have never watched all the way through. I couldn't even really tell you what scared me about Candyman, because I never finished the movie. My older brother would make fun of me because I would not watch it because it scared me. I'm not scared of it now, I started watching it a few years back and thought it was stupid.

Corn Beef HAHA
"Would it taste as good today as it did back then? Write about a favorite meal someone used to make for you."
I use to have a favorite meal. I haven't had it in a few years and I am probably going to go out and get it after school today and cook it tonight. When I was younger we use to eat some really "ghetto" stuff. That's the term that I used for it. This food included Potted meat sandwiches, Ramen Noodles, Vienna Sausages, and Corned beef. I am not a fan of any of those things except the ladder. We were always pretty poor, so we ate food like this alot growing up. I learned to love corned beef though and I still do. My mom would cook it a few ways. One of the meals is Corned Beef Tacos. You would take corn tortillas, fry them just a little, put some corn beef in them and wrap them like Taquitos. They were really good, especially with Nachos, and gaucomoli dip. The othe way was the more ghetto way to cook them. She would chop up potatoes to make fried potatoes, and mix it with the corned beef and fry them together. This was called corn beef hash and it was pretty good too. Everyone ive met hates corned beef though.

Jack Shephard-Lost
2. Think about your favorite TV show or movie. Become one of the main characters and write a diary entry based on the last episode or, if a movie, based on a specific scene. Start with "Dear Diary,"
Dear Diary
I disapointed kate and Juliette today. I guess that Ben's younger self broke Sayid out of the cell the Dharma Initiative were keeping him in. Sayid ended up knocking out Jin, and then shooting Ben in the chest. Miles had been explaining to us today how nothing we do here will impact the future or change it in anyway. He beleives it even though Hurley found a flaw in his theory. I assume that is how it works. Kate came to me and asked me to come help them save Ben. I refused. I was not going to help save Ben Lioness' life again. I've saved that bastards life once before, I will not do it again. According to Miles I won't change anything anyways. She couldn't beleive I wouldn't help him, she said "He is just a child". I told her that that child is going to become a man and imprison us. He is going to black mail me into doing surgery on him, to save your life. I saved him for YOU. I will not save him again.

December
"What's your favorite month? Write about what makes your favorite season your favorite season."
My favorite month is December. My favorite season is winter. I love winter for so many reasons. The first and most basic reason is because I love the cold. I love being outside in the snow and having to bunch up in layers of clothing. I like having to use 3 blankets to keep warm and sleep in. My favorite month is December, for obvious reasons. I love christmas, who doesn't. I also love new years. Besides the fireworks, it is very exciting realizing that it has been an entire year since last time you did this. I love christmas time because I always either go down to some relatives house that I havent seen in forever, or they come to our house. It is always awesome to see my family. None of my family lives close to I mainly see them on the holidays. November is really amazing because we always have thanksgiving dinner at my great grandparents house. Everytime we go down to there house for thanksgiving, our entire family is there also so I get to visit my whole family at once. It is amazing, plus the great food.

I'm a Nike SWOOSH
Me and my younger brother were visiting my father, not his, a few years back and spending a weekend with him. He was living with a friend of his named Dwayne. He was a really nice guy. His son came by on one of the days. He was about 20, while we were around 13-14. He was also a very cool guy. He would horseplay with us and mess around. Later in the day somehow he ended up picking me up by my feet and swinging me around the room. It was pretty crazy. I was alot smaller then. It was all fun and games til I hit the chair. There was a huge wooden chair in the room. I'm not sure if he just lost control or if he just did it on accident. I was swinging and started slowing down just a little bit when I hit the arm of the wooden chair. It hit me right between the eyes. It hurt but I didn't cry, until I looked into the mirror that is. I looked in the mirror and saw an almost perfect nike check gash between my eyes. I instantly started freaking out. They took me to the hospital where I got stitches. Somehow I didn't have a scar from it, which is releaving, but would also be cool to have a scar from it.
Rachel
"What did it feel like? Write the story of the first person (not a member of your family) you ever kissed. Share it with them, if you dare!"
Me and my younger brother had just moved in with our Aunt and Uncle, Evoyne and Neal. We didn't really enjoy living with them. They both came off as really weird to us, we hadn't been around them much of our lives. Evoyne would always give me and my brother something to laugh about though. She was an inside joke to us. The reason for this was this weird thing she said while carrying a conversation. Some people say things after making statements such as "Ya know". She said "On There". It was the weirdest, yet funniest thing to me and my brother. But back to the story. I had failed 6th grade the year before so I was being forced to repeat it at a new school. The first day I made a few friends, but one turned out to be my good friend for the next two years. His name was jacob. He was the one that talked me into asking out Rachel, on the first day of school. Rachel said yes. After a week or so I went to a football game with her. We watched it for a while, then we went to the snack bar. On the way back she stopped me and started kissing me. This was the first time I had ever kissed a girl. I was so nervous I was almost shaking at first. But I quickly got over it. It was awesome and I felt great about it for weeks.

Fishing
"Why so dishonest? Think of any lie you once told, and force yourself to stick with the first one that pops in your head. Write a piece about that lie."
When my younger brother and I were living in Texas with our grandparents, we use to go swimming and fishing in the lake we lived by every week. We would go down there with friends and neighbors and always have a good time swimming and fishing sometimes. One day we went fishing and werent catching anything at all. We always still had fun because we would just bs the whole time. Our horseplaying was probably the main reason we never caught anything. So around the time were going to head back to the house, a man pulls to shore on his boat and hes holding two very large bass. We tell him that he got a great catch. He and his wife tell us that they don't really like eating them just fishing, and offer to give them to us. We took them and thanked them alot. We brought them back to the house and we told our grandfather that we caught them ourselves. We don't know why besides the reason that we both kind of hated him. He was an asshole, and everyone knew it. I think we inittialy thought we would end up breaking down and telling him we didn't catch them but we never did.

One of my scariest dreams was...
I have actually had about 5 dreams that were equally scary and weird. I recently realized that I have some sort of sleeping problem. I don't really know if its seroius or not but it is really weird. It started a few months back. I am watching the discovery planet and it has some episode about snakes and I fall asleep with it on. I wake up a few hours later, and I truly beleive there is a snake slithering on me or around me. I jump from the couch and hit the floor hard, waking my mom up. She gets in the front room asking whats wrong all I can say is snake and point at the couch. I realized that I was dreaming, but not until the next day. I refused to sleep on that couch that night. I genually beleived there was a snake on me, and was extremely scared. This has happened around five times since then. It is always something like snakes, such as bugs, spiders, or rats. Everytime it happens I wake up in a panic. I jump out of the bed or the couch and ussualy hit the floor pretty hard. I can NEVER sleep in the area that I had the dream. I never truly beleive it was a dream until I wake up the next morning.

Japan
http://www.writersdigest.com/WritingPrompts/
If you could take a trip anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
I've always wanted to take a trip to asia. I didn't really care what country exactly, but ive decided on Japan. It was most likely going to be between Japan or China, But I found out some very lame things about china. I've always thought been fascinated with foriegn architecture, especcially in asia. I would love to visit all of the parks in tokyo, they look pretty amazing from the pictures I have seen. I would specifically like to see the Ueno Park. It is the largest park in Tokyo. It has a Zoo, Aquarium, and it is also a cultural center with many museums, temples, and shrines. It would be really interesting to visit the Ginza also. The Ginza is Tokyo's most famous shopping center. Within the shopping center there is the Kabuki theatre. So you can get dinner and watch the performance.
If you could take a trip anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
I've always wanted to take a trip to asia. I didn't really care what country exactly, but ive decided on Japan. It was most likely going to be between Japan or China, But I found out some very lame things about china. I've always thought been fascinated with foriegn architecture, especcially in asia.

Crazy Nights
My older brother talked me into going to midnight rodeo wit him and some friends thursday night. I had college the next day but I figured id be home by 1 which would give me enough time to get a good nights rest. I was very wrong. We got there around ten and had to wait in line for about 20 minutes, where they stamped my hands and put a bracelet on me. I had to get my hands stamped because I was below 21. Thats how they keep minors from drinking. We played some pool and had fun. they closed at 1am so we were about to leave. We get in mikes car, mike is our designated driver. We get out of the club parking lot and it becomes apparent that he has actually been drinking, without telling anyone. My brother has him pull over so he can use the bathroom. This is where things get ugly. He gets to the turn and turns into a psycho. He yells "Want me to hit the median!!!!!" and starts laughing and instantly turns right into the median dodging the sign pole by inches. He drives straight across the other side of the road into another pole and blows both right side tires. He then goes through two ditches, both of them had curbs on either side. The jeep is bouncing crazily, luckily I had my seatbelt on or I might have been thrown around quite a bit. He pulls into a car lot and speeds toward the parked cars, turning at the very last second barely avoiding the cars. He finnaly comes to a stop and my brother is yeling "get the f out thomas hes fin crazy"! My brothers door handle hasnt worked all night so hes trying to shove me out so we can both get out before he starts going again. I finnaly manage to get my seatbelt off and get out. as soon as me and my brother get out he starts going again and scrapes up two of the parked cars in the car lot. The crazy part of this is that he was laughing and yelling " OH NO" the entire time as if it was a joke. We didnt think it was very funny. After about an hour and a half of my brother, our friend Bj, and mike the driver yelling at eachother back and forth, we finnaly got a ride home. I got home at around 3:30 am. It was a pretty crappy night.

Thomas
I used to live in Shell Knob, Missouri. It was in the seventh grade. The town was a terrible place. I had never done any drug before I moved there. I had always been the kind of guy that would never touch drugs before I moved there. It is amazing what can happen with enough influence. Even though moving there and becoming friends with all of these kids that used drugs is awful, I think I gained more then I lost by experiencing that town. I smoked weed for the first time, I actually fought it even though every friend I had there did it. I didn’t try it until I had lived there for a few months. My mom also had a downfall with drugs in this town. She met a guy and she got deep into cooking and selling drugs. The reason im glad that I experienced all of this is because I realized I never wanted to end up like any of these people in this town. My mom got busted for intent to distribute, and went to prison. My younger brother got addicted to weed and pills. I blame this horrible drug inhabited town for this. We had to go live with my grandparents for a couple years because my mom went to prison. My brother never stopped doing drugs to this day. My mom has been clean and working for 4 years now though. I thank god every da y that my mom was able to get off of drugs and get a hold of her life. I tried everything I could to help my brother, but he is a lost cause. I tell him what hes doing is stupid and is going to get him killed or in prison. He calls me an idiot and acts like im being immature or something. I finnaly stopped even trying. I realized how pointless it is. He is just like our older brother, worse even. Atleast my brother can get clean if he needs to be, which he is now because he just had a kid. All in all im glad we moved there in the sense that it helped shape the way I am today, but very upset that my brother turned out the way he did.
Shell Knob was a small town about an hour away from springfield. It has a main highway with a few stores, mostly boat, fishing, and water sports equipment ro rentals, because it was right on the lake. There was a bridge that went over the lake about 50 feet above the water which was very fun to jump off of. There was a pizza hut by the bridge with a cement trail leading from the lake to the pizza hut for the swimmers and walk on to get some food. We were staying in the most ghetto doublewide trailer imaginable. It was two normal size trailers conjoined with a small hallway connector thing. We lived on what was sort of like a dirtroad subdivision. There were dirt roads on both sides of my house and for a few more rows on each side. All filled with houses and trailers. The lake was in walking distance fom our house .

Texas
I was reading the required storys for friday and it made me reminisce about the time I spent in texas. I have lived in texas for a good portino of my life. I moved there with my mom and my brothers dad when I was young, we lived in an apartment for a while. I don't actually remember much about that place because I was very young. There are only a few things that come to mind when I try to remember the apartment complex. I remember that my older brother got in a lot of fights. I saw him get into a fight one day with two black guys. It was him and a friend of his fighting two other guys... the reason this stuck in my head was because it was really brutal. Somewhere in the fight one of the guys my brother was fighting got 2 teeth knocked out.. and when someone caught them fighting i saw my brothers friend hide the teeth by kicking them off of the sidewalk. Stuff like that is hard to forget. I remember me and my younger brother shared a bike. Then we traded that bike to a girl upstairs for a pink "motorcycle bike". It was a bike that had a plastic body that looked like a real motorcycle. We would put a soda can on the tire to make it sound like a real motorcycle. Then i remember bobby my younger brother was riding it one day and got hit by a car. Luckily they were backing out... not really sure how that even happens but it did. He was ok. Whats weird is that ive seen my little brother get hit by 3 cars. All three times he was backed into. Thats kind of crazy. We later moved back to live with my grandparents for a year or so. I wen't to school in texas through 7th and 8th grade. I decided a few years later that i didnt like texans. The reasn behind ths is that when I lived in texas I got into about 10 fights. I moved away from texas and ive only been in one fight since. I also decided I hated texas in general. I hate how humid and ht it is all the time. I absolutely love winter, and dispise summer. I use to see commercials on tv in texas and like 50% of commercials that are trying to sell something would say that this sale is TEXAS SIZED, or this truck is TEXAS SIZED. I didn't realize how much I hated that til I moved away. So all in all I don't plan on going back to texas beyond a family visiting trip.

Lets Start A Riot
So im sitting in the computer lab and im trynna think of what to write. I'm listening to my Zune(mp3 Player). I'm having a hard time trying to think of what to write. I googled "writing prompts" in hopes of finding something interesting to write about. One site brought up an error when I logged onto it and started saying stuff about viruses and porn.. so I immediately exited out of that. I found one page that was helpful but I don't think im going to use it. They were mostly "What If" situations, and lame situations at that. I have my Zune on shuffle, which is where it just randomly plays songs from my playlist. It played the song Riot by Three Days Grace. This gave me a few ideas. Yesterday I kind of felt like starting a riot, even though it was over something not serious at all. I was playing some computer games yesterday and I use a headset when I play on the computer. I went to take a shower and I heard my brother come home. When I got out of the shower he was already gone, which is not surprising. But when I wen't into my room I found my headset was broken. I automattically assumed he accidentily broke it and then left before I got out of the shower. I have no idea what really happened. I could have broke it myself but I accused my brother of it and he denied it so. A few hours later my mouse broke. No idea how that happened either. I was using it then all of the sudden the left click or mouse1 broke. The panel on top of the mouse completely broke off, and to top it all off my monitor starts messing up. It started going darker and lighter then normal. It would happen randomly sometimes, but that day it would not stop doing it. So I got really mad and just went and watched tv, after yelling a little bit haha. Whats even funnier is that the next song that just played on my zune was Riotmaker by Tech N9ne. What a coincidence... WOOOOOOOOOOW

Weekend
I had a pretty good weekend. I didn't do much. I was pretty lazy all weekend but whatever. I went to see watchmen, ive been wanting to see it. It was even better then I thought it was going to be. I kind of htought it was going to be your typical comic book hero movie, I was wrong. I was expecting all the fruity looking heros to be normal good guy heros too and they werent. Most of the "heros" in this movie should have been villians. The main character is an old "mask" which is the term they used for the people that put costumes on and faught crime. All of the other masks in the movie had quit fighting crime and started living normal lives, except him. He finds out that someone is assasinating all of the masks. He refers to him as the mask killer. So he starts investigating the crimes and in the end realizes its one of his old Mask friends. This old mask friend has become a millionaire. In the end he kills millions of people, but it turns out that he did a good thing. This movie is set during the Cold War, and everyone thinks there is going to be nuclear war. He ends up killing millions of people all over the world including russia and america. He does this to end the cold war, and he suceeds. Because they were both attacked they shared a common enemy that was greater then eachother so they stopped fighting with one another. It was one of the best movies ive seen in a very long time.

driving
So I decided I was going to go take my driving test this morning. Might have been a bad idea. I think I was a little premature on that. I still have hardly gotten any practice driving, I just assumed I could pass it. I was wrong. I went up there with my brother and my mom. My younger brother went before me, he passed. Im glad he passed but its kind of depressing. I knew he was going to pass though. He has been driving his girlfriends moms SUV for about 6 months without a license. I guess she thinks he has a license but hes a good driver. Anyways, my turn finnaly rolled around and she asks me if I have contacts in or if im putting in my glasses. I completely forgot my glasses. So I ended up having to drive back to my house and get my glasses. I finnaly took the test and failed miserably. I passed the only part I was worried I would fail, which was parralel parking. I pretty much got nervous and FREAKED out and utterly forgot how to drive. I kept forgetting to check over my shoulder for switching lanes. I took a turn a little too fast and the instructor flew around like a ragdoll... she jolted off of everything though it was rediculous and it pissed me off bad. I would barely hit the brakes and she would jolt forward like I slammed on them. Then I forgot to use my blinker when we did parrallel parking and uphill parking. I didn't realize but I guess I was hugging the mid divider line, and she said I consistently went 2-3 miles over the speed limit. I was really upset because I know I can drive better then that I was just so nervous. I'm glad I took it though because I feel that now that I know exactly what I did wrong I won't do it again.

History
So it's wendsday and this journal thing is starting to come easier I guess. I hope im that im doing it the right way. I'm really going to dislike doing 7 a week, that is way too much. I found the open computer labs here at otc for the first time today. I'm kind of happy about that seeing how I had been wondering where they were since I started. I'm having alot of trouble with my history class. It seems that everyone is, which in a sad way is kind of reasuring. The majority of our class has failed all three tests that have been given. We had a quiz today and I knew a little of it. The other stuff I had no idea we even went over. I think that he is expecting too much of this to be read and memorized by the class. He started making his own note pages to help us take notes and keep it organized, there terrible in my opinion though. I wish that he would give assignments based on each chapter, home work for us to do because thats how ive always learned content in history classes. Even though I have alot of homework as it is I would like him still to do that because it is the best way for me to pass the classes.
Tuesday was BORING?
So I pretty much have had nothing to do all day. I most likely could have found something to do or some people to hang out with to help with my boredness, if I had my stupid license!
I'm taking my test for the first time friday and if I fail it im going to slit my wrists! Just kidding but it will suck really bad. I watched a movie though, W., well atleast I tried to watch it. I got like 75% through the movie before It just got way too boring and lame for me to continue watching it. It was about crackhead bush Jr, about how he was a partying idiot in his younger years, and continued to dissapoint his father throughout his life. Pretty much said that he went to war for oil and because he wanted to finish what his father started. Thats what I always figured anyways. The actor that played W. was Josh brolin. If youve seen the movie "No Place For Old Men" your probably thinking no waiiiii that josh brolin played george bush. It was a surpise to me too, especially when he did an amazing job impersonating bush. Other then that I just kinda watched tv or played video games all day and it was awful lame.

My weekend
I'm not sure how im going to do this, if im giong to write about my everyday life or if im going to find things that interest me to write about. I will start it off by writing about my weekend. I did not really do much of anything this weekend. Friday I was going to skip my history class because my friend offered me a ride home at 2 and my class started at 2. If I did not take the ride with him I would go to my history class which is my last class of the day and then have to wait for my step dad to pick me up at 5 when he gets off of work. I went to check in with my history teacher and it turned out we were having a quiz. Every other quiz we have had in that class he always gave at the beginning of class. Except friday. This was extremely frustrating. My friend offered to stay until around 2:20 since I told him that he always gave them early class and they were very short quizes. My teacher ended up not giving us the quiz until more then midway through class, and just my luck my phone died. So I had no way to text him and tell him what was up. I got very lucky though. He finnaly handed out the quiz and I got finished with it. He had told me where he was parked in a text, but he also said that he was going grab some food while he waited. I assumed that he went and grabbed some fast food and would most likely be parked somewhere else and had texted me where. Of course I don't know whether he did or not because my phones dead. To my luck I found him where he said he was going to be and he said that he decided not to get some food. Phew, what a releif! I still don't have my license to drive. It sucks really bad. On a normal day my mom drives me to college on her way to work at 8:30 am. My first class doesn't start until noon. Then I get picked up by my step dad at 5:00 pm. So I am here all day long and it is terribly boring. I have a car, the money for insurance, and everything that I need to drive except my drivers license. I was planning to take my driving test this tuesday and start driving myself to school. I was so looking forward to not gettig up 5 hours early for class. But turns out I can't get a ride this tuesday and I won't be able to take my test. So I get all stressed out over this and pretty much am in a bad mood all weekend. So my weekend sucked. :-)
