Greek God's.

So yea. Grunt thought it would be fun for me to write about the Greek God's. I can't really do anything but agree because I asked him to give me stuff to write about over the summer. I might enjoy writing about them. You never know. He also thought it would be fun to make it 100 word's per God. I think Google is going to be my best friend for the next two week's. I can't wait! Could you feel the sarcasm in that last sentence? I know I could. This is really the only thing I have to write about. I haven't done anything as of lately. I know, I know, my life is so boring. You don't have to tell me twice.

I'm going to West Virginia tomorrow and not coming back till Sunday. You may ask me what is there to do in WV? Nothing really. My grandfather just so happened to find the only vacation spot in the state. My luck right? I think so. Its kind of fun I guess. You're allowed to drive golf cart's up there. That takes some of the " I'd rather drown myself then be here" feeling away. You can only drive so much before that starts to bother you too. There is only so much you can do to keep yourself sane. Just as I sit here thinking about what I'm going to be doing, I'm starting to go crazy. This weekend is going to be insane. There is going to be fireworks and wrestling. Yea, live wrestling. This place is hillbilly Haven. Although the wrestling will take my brother away for a few hour's. I usually like wrestling, but this is like underground. No John Cena, No Jeff Hardy. Only guy's you have never heard of. They make it so obvious that it is fake. The only good thing is that I get my pick of food because I recently just came off an injury that did not allow me to eat.

I can't wait for my birthday. I know that sounds selfish, and well it kind of is. I just want a real computer desk. I hate this make-shift one I made. It shakes like crazy. I also want a computer chair. Right now I'm using a lawn chair. I'm so hood, I know. I'm mainly asking for only one thing. I want a new iPod. Preferably an iPod touch. I have one of those old iPods that only came in black and white. So yea, I want a lot of thing's. What can I say, I'm a needy child.

Lack of Substance.

You guessed it, I have nothing to write about. That seems to be all I write about. Every blog post you look at of mine, somewhere in it has the fact that I'm bored and there is nothing to write about. Why is this. Is it because I'm trying to hard to think of something to write about? Am I just not capable of writing? Or is it because I just don't want to write? That just makes you think about why you can't seem to have anything to write about.

Many call it writer's block, but writer's are writer's because they are good at writing, right? Did I lose you in that last sentence. I hope not. Why would it be writer's block. People write for enjoyment, so they should always have something to write about. Is it just the mind getting fed up with the stress of finding a subject that it just gives up? Are we as writer's really that lazy. Do we just go blame it on writer's block every time we don't have a topic so we don't disappoint people. Often, people are intrigued by others writing's and adventure's. Why is it that there is always something to read about, but there is always a struggle for something to write about.

Do you ever think it is because you were not meant to write, therefore your mind is just not ready to think of topic's when you want it to. But doesn't everyone have adventure's and tale's to write about. Well there you go, why don't you just write about your day. Do we not like to write about our day because we as human being's are just that self-conciseness. Are we really that worried about what other people think about our day, that were to scared just to write about it? If you can't write about something, then why do it? Why waste your time doing something that you are to afraid to tell people about.

Why do people that write get flamed and criticized. If you tell a story about your day to a friend, isn't that the same as writing down, just in a verbal format. Is it because we waste our time behind a computer hitting key's to tell our story? Don't you do the same thing on social networking sites? So why do writer's get flamed? Again, are we really that self conscious that we have to make fun of other people's enjoyment to get enjoyment. If so, I look in shame as people take criticism and negative comment's. You wouldn't just sit there if some one was threatening would you. So why will you let some one make fun of you for something that you find pleasing and fun?

Do they really care?

Have you ever thought about writing to an singer/actor. Is there one famous person that is your idol? Have you ever thought about meeting them in real life. Have you ever heard the song "Stan" by Eminem?

First, if you have not heard it, go listen to it. It makes you think about how much they really care about their fans. Do they do it for the fan's, or just for the money. The song "Stan" is about a guy who's idol is Eminem. He writes him practically every week, but Eminem never responds. Then Stan goes crazy. I can't explain what was going through his mind. At the end of the song, you hear Eminem writing back to Stan. He explains how he hasn't had to write him back.

I was just thinking. Do you think they care, or are you just another "groupie". What do you think. Do they want to respond, but they are always being bombarded by the news and other fans. Or is it that they just don't care?

Nothing to write about again.

I swear, if I had something to write about I would throw a party. Literally. I've been siting here for about three hours. Nothing at all has popped into my mind. This is so stupid. I hate being bored out of my mind, and not being able to do a thing about it. If I could go outside, believe me I would. Its almost twelve now. There is nothing on T.V. No movies that interest me. You would think there was something to interest a teen at night. Not to the nearest. My team lost today. Two games. We were in first place. Now were in third. Oh well, we have a tournament next weekend. The only thing that bothers me about that is I'll be gone all weekend, with no chance of seeing her. You really don't understand how much she is to me. She thinks she knows, but she really has no grasp on how much I love and want her.

I sit here thinking about what I would do if I never had meet her. Neither of us knew that first day of aftercare would start it all. Or that day under the tree. Its really crazy how things that mean the world to you start. She means the world to me, and much more. At least I don't have to watch my brother tomorrow. I still might not be able to go to her house. Which sucks.

New Show. Music is life to teens.

Yesterday, I got a new web cam. I came across a site that allows you to broadcast live. So, I signed up and started broadcasting. Its pretty much just like this blog, but me in person. I don't have any viewers, no anything. I get tired some time's, with no one reading my blog, or watching my show. I wonder what keeps me writing. I honestly have no idea. Everyday, I have the need to write, even though there's nothing to write about. I guess its the only way I can express myself. Nobody really listens to me in real life. There are only a few people who actually listen to me. Oh well. I guess my keyboard is my mouth for now. I like it like that, so I don't have to explain the meaning behind it all.

Now to the second part of the topic. I was listening to music and thinking. I know, multitasking. Then I realized that the things that all the major band's/singer's are putting out there, seem to be all the things the kid's are getting into. I don't know why someone that knows they are an influence on someones would go about and sing about killing people, smoking weed, etc. Personally, I try to live above the influence. It is really hard to be honest at my age. Every where I happen to look or be, there is some one trying to sell me weed. People are always going to break rules. In fact, many think that rules are meant to be broken. I just can't really get why someone would put something in there body just to feel good. Oh well, Its there life.

I can't really believe how much I have been siting at this laptop, trying very hard to think of something to write about. I don't know whether my life is really that boring, or if its writers block. God, I can't get this girl out of my mind, but I like it that way. I can't really write about her though. That's because every time I think about her, I'm speechless. Ah I love her.

Well, that's really it for tonight. If you like my style of my writing, the follow me. Also, be sure comment.

Life's short. Live it like its your last.

I got this idea from a song. "Chicks dig it" by Chris Cagle. It's a really good and funny song, but that's not what I'm going to write about.

When I was in like Fourth grade, one of my best friends died from cancer. He was in second grade. He fought it as long and as hard as he could. He always said "Your life's a garden, dig it. When he died, it made me realize that the same thing could happen to me. When God's ready to take you, you're gonna go. You can't stop it. I know that is depressing to some people, but you have got to accept it. You have to go out and live that day like its your last. This doesn't mean to go and rob a bank or jack someones car. Just don't hold back your feeling's and show everything you got.

You can't go around hating people either. To me that's really stupid. I got something out of it. A really special girl. You know who you are. We both can't get away from each other. Well, that's enough about my life. You can't go around doing stuff to impress people. Live you life the way you want to. It's yours, and don't let any one tell you otherwise. Just don't try to act like someone your not. Don't worry what other people say or think, just be yourself. Don't be afraid to express yourself, even if people don't be your friend because of it. If they were your friend before and no are not, they were not good a good friend in the first place
Although life may seem long, it really is not. You only get as long as you are supposed to be on earth. So go on and live your life to the fullest.

Bike Rides and Broken Fingers.

Today was actually pretty fun. Although Its only five and I still plan on doing much more today. I woke up at about 11. The game got canceled. You have no idea how much I hate the rain. Then, I called my friend, and we both were doing the same thing, which was nothing. So I ended up going to his house and playing Call of Duty: World at War. I don't really like that game as much as the one before it, but it shall do for now. Then, his other friend had the insane idea of getting in the pool. Being as stupid as we are, we agreed. I have no idea why though. It seemed alright, until we actually got to the pool. It was about 60 degrees I think. None of us wanted to get in, even the kid who wanted to get in. Eventually, Austin, the kid who proposed the idea, suddenly ran and jumped in. I have never heard someone scream so loud. It was crazy. The water had to be about 20 degrees. Even though it was that cooled, we stayed in and toughed it out. It was fun until the wind kicked up, keep in min the pool is only four feet deep. All of us are clear over 5 feet tall, Nearly six feet. We all jumped and got out as fast as we could. Then we laid on the hot concrete to dry off. Crazy huh? Then we went inside till he had to go out to dinner, then me and Austin went home. I bought my friends bike by the way.

After I got home, the boredom kicked in hard. I decided to go on about a six mile bike ride. With no one but myself to ride, it was pretty fun. I went to the lake and back. On the way back there is this massive hill. I flew down it. So fast, I was flying past cars. The crazy thing was I was not even holding on to the handles. It made the drivers look at me like I'm crazy. A look I'm used to getting. Not once did the thought of crashing occur on my head. I was not wearing a helmet. Who does anyways?

When I got home, the first thing I did was lay down. I was really tired. I was flipping through the channels and there was a channel about surgeries and injuries. Something that interests me, a lot. There was a story about a guy that shattered his fingers while working with a saw. His fingers were nasty, so nasty. They looked like torn leather. They showed some really close up pictures. Both of his hand and the surgery. It was crazy. I just thought that I should put that in there.

I have gained a new friend. His names Alden, and he shares the same love in writing. He's really cool. Most people just don't give him the chance.

Any ways, that's all for now friends. Out for another ride before the sun goes down. Please follow me if you like my style of writing, and be sure to comment. You also can reach me at bobbiegoodman@hotmail.com. My skype name is goody341. Peace.

Just Rambling

Today was the last day of school. It was okay I guess, even though somehow I couldn't remember a thing for finals. I hate that, you study and then it backfires. Also, It's so stupid now, there teaching us how to pass tests. It's not sane to teach someone how to learn it and actually use it. No, let's teach them how do it on the calculator, and then stuff the test in there face. I would not mind so much, but I don't get how the "No child left behind act" is helping us. To me, it is making America more stupid by each grade. Why do I say this? The teacher's are paid to tell us how to pass the tests. I have kid's in my algebra class that are in the eleventh grade. If you don't get something after three year's, that should be a sign. To me its just making the United States of America a laughing stock to the rest of the world.

Another thing, recently I have noticed an increased love to write. I have to decided that if nothing else works out in my future, I want to be a sport's journalist. So, to start training. Every week I'm going to try and choose a news story, and writing. Also, Josh said he would give me a project every week, and I'll post it on here. So hopefully I keep up with everything it's almost summer, and I do have a life.

Even though I have a life, does not mean I'm always doing something. Hence the writing's everyday. I hate having nothing to do. I can not stay still unless I'm thinking. So, without anything to write about, I don't really think a lot. I don't really do anything interesting either, so I can't really write about that either. I guess I shall read a lot of stories online and write about what I think about them. I just wish I could always have something to write about. As I said before, while at school, everything possible can into my mind. As soon as I get home it goes away as though the thought was never there.

Today was kinda bad and good altogether. It was the last day of school, but my baseball team lost. We were on a 16 game winning streak. We lost to some team we crushed before. None of us wanted to play today. The game was not even to be played today, or at there field. We were supposed to play on Wednesday and at our home field. Well, It's in the past so there's nothing I can do about it.

I Hate Writer's Block.

It always seems to happen when I'm not doing something and feel like writing. Figure's right. Anyways, I figured I would just write until an idea pops into my head. There is absolutely nothing to do. I don't have a computer in my room, and I'm to lazy to unhook my laptop and go downstairs, I have finals tomorrow, so I guess I could study, but there my favorite two subjects. Math and Science. I wish sometimes that I could slip into the world of imagination, and stay there. That way there would always be something to do.

I always think of stuff to write about at school, but when I get home, its like the idea was never there. I think I should start writing down what I think about at school, and while I sleep. I have some really wild dreams. That's why I want to slip into the world of imagination, I know I would never get bored, or at least hope not to. Tomorrow is the release of the new Apple Iphone. I have never had one of the new ipods. Right after I got my ipod video in the summer of '07, the new generation of ipods came out. I was so mad, it always seem, as soon as I get something, an update or new model of it comes out.

Also, I have started another blog on another site. I'm still going to write here, and probably a little on word press, the new site. It's OK I guess, but since I started on blogger, I like it here more. I don't know why I write, I don't have any viewers besides Grunt, who is awesome none the less.

Any ways, Grunt is forcing me to go to bed because I have school and finals. Grr that dude, but he's still awesome :).

Well, please follow me if you like my style, and be sure to comment. NIGHT!

Music + boredum = Ranting.

I hate the ending of school. There is nothing to do once it let's out. Even today, I am trying to find something to do, but failing on epic proportions. I was supposed to have a game, but again it rained. I hate rain. Why must it rain? I really just want something to do instead of sitting here doing really nothing at all. I'm not really writing anything important lately, which is making me mad. I tired looking for things to write about, but nothing is really interesting. I should just make my own stories. Although I have no imagination at all, it would be better than writing about sitting at home doing nothing.

Yesterday was the release of the new IPhone. I have no money so I can't get it, nor the old iPhone. I would like to get a Itouch, but my birthday is right around the corner so I might as well wait. I heard the new IPhone is really nice, with more ram and more speedy. I have an old Ipod video. Remember the one's that would only come in black and white. I originally had a black one, but that got stolen. My aunt was nice enough to get me another one, but white. I really love to listen to music. I still don't know why I got a video, but it still works great.

I don't know why music is something big to me. No matter what I'm doing, music seems to always to be playing. Any music, rap, rock, etc. I love it all. I just open Itunes, hit shuffle, play, and then minimize it. It just keeps playing while I write, even when I'm talking to someone on skype. I don't really have a favorite genre. It all is really good to me. the only thing I can't really listen to is techno. It just doesn't really click with me, at all. Anyways, I love music, its pretty much my life.

Another thing I love to do is read. I can't really stay with a book unless it has lots of action. That's one thing I hate the most about me. There are lots of good books that I can't really read because there just boring to me. I either get bored or move onto another book. Therefor my favorite genre of writing is action. Also suspense is another good one. If we have to read something in school, I try my hardest to keep up with it. Usually though, the books are really easy and I can just skim them. The books we read this year were pretty much all good. Except, and you all are probably going to kill me for this, Shakespeare. I can't read his stuff. I don't know if its because the language, or what. No matter what I do, its just so boring. I feel asleep multiple times while reading it in class. I just have to adjust and read stuff I normally wont read by myself.

Also, I love writing. However, I don't like writing to no one. I only have to followers. Both which I personally know. That is fine, but not to sound selfish, but I want more. I would love to write something, and have multiple comments from other people with their feelings. Also, I love when people tell me stuff that I could work on. It lets me know there just no reading, but also they are actually paying attention. I would just love some more viewer's who are more active.

Well, that's all. Five paragraphs about nothing really. Please follow me if you like my style of writing, and be sure to comment.

Thanks Josh, Last Day of Freshmen Year.

Tomorrow is the last day of Freshmen year. I'm just trying to figure out how it went by so fast, I hope the rest of my high school carrier does not go this fast. It seems like just yesterday I had just gotten my first assignment, and was learning the history of the Civil war. The war that had the most American death's. Just thought that I should point that out there. Any ways, looking back I have changed a lot. In the beginning, I took every body's words to heart, until some one made me realize they were trying to put me down, and I should not let them hold me back, Thanks Grunt. Also, I didn't take school that seriously, and did not like writing. I thought it was all a waste of time, all because I let something that I thought was a burden hold me back. It all changed literally changed when I meet this guy named Josh, aka Grunt. He told me not to let it hold me down, yet to show that I'm not going to let something so silly keep me from showing my real potential. I think that if not for him, I might have just given' up.

Anything I had a question about, he answer's with out a problem, unless he's watching a movie or writing for school. Sorry Josh I'm trying to make you laugh. Anything you need, it seems that he puts it in front of anything he's doing. He's the true sign that no matter what you go through, you can always succeed, but I'm not going to put his personal stuff out there. Honestly, he taught me that you should give up, and let stupid little things hold you back. He really means a lot to me, but I don't think he knows. Or even cares.

Any ways Josh, if you read this, all I want to say is thanks. You really made me man up and put all the stupid stuff that held me back from showing people my true capabilities, that I didn't even know were there, but some how he did. Know you no, if you don't already, Josh, but you really do mean a lot to me. All that shit I did before on the game, I'm really sorry for. All the back stabbing and stuff. Just wanted to write something about you, because your like a dad to me, really.

I'm not gonna end this with the usual, as this is something personal, and I think this is the only way that I might be able to shot him. Grunt dude, Thanks.

Hey, let's help that stranger.

Would you ever help some one out you did not know, and they don't even speak your language. Then why help out the illegals. That is my subject for today, the people that do not even speak our language and we pay for with our taxes, well the people that do pay taxes.

Before I write anything else I should warn you, that seeing as I am a teen, sophomore in high school and do not now much about this subject, but lately I have been lacking things to write about. If at all you think that my opinion is at all false or you simple do not agree with me, please contact me with your thoughts at bobbiegoodman@hotmail.com. Also, if you are in fact from another country, and are reading this, please take no offense, as none is intended. Also, if it seems like I'm stereotyping. I am not intending to. Now please allow me to share my thoughts.

As I said before, you would not help some stranger that you do not even know, then why help the illegals that are flooding our country. The thing that makes me mad the most is they don't even know our language, and they have the nerve. and Rights to get a job. I think you should be made to learn the language of the country you are in, and pass a literacy test, in order to become a citizen of that country, I am not talking about America alone, but any other country were you need to become a citizen to live there. Think about it, think back fifty years, if you're that old, as I'm not, when you went through a fast food drive threw, you got some one who could actually speak English well. You go to a fast food drive threw now, and most likely you'll get some one who can hardly speak English.

Now, to go along with the fast food statement, I have another thought. Them not being able to read/write well, they are taking all the job's that the youth would be taking during the summer. Another subject is tied into that thought. If there were more jobs, this would take the youth of the street, possible reducing crime's. Also, they would have their own supply of money, making not have to steal from others or beg there parent's for money. Not only would make them learn our language be a good thing, but it might give the chance for the youth of America to get a summer job.

Back to the subject at hand. The thing that anger's me the most is that the Government seems to let them come in unnoticed. Yea, we have border patrol, but it seems that more get through than are stopped. I do not know how the guards are laid out, but I would have one about every 100-200 feet. Sure, that's a lot of guards, but to me it's truly needed. Sure, they'll work under almost any condition, but is that what we need. Are we as a nation really that lazy that we need people from other countries to do our own work for us. Are we that dependent? We already are over populating as it is. We don't need more people to come in because they feel as though there government in is a ruckus, or that it is the dream land. Our government is messed up too, and were going through what seems to be another depression.

Those are just my thoughts, and as I said in the beginning, you may feel free to contact me if you think my thoughts are based on opinion, or if you totally disagree with me. I would love to hear you thoughts. I'm always looking for way's to improve, and also things to write about.

Thanks for reading and please follow if you like my style of writing, and be sure to comment with you feeling's.

Not The Right Clothes.

This is something that has been always eating away at me. The fact that if you don't have the right clothes, then you are not on the in crowd, or people make fun of you. This yes affects me, but that's not the main reason I hate it. The main reason is that, kid's seem to focus on what clothes people have, instead of learning or stuff that really makes the world turn for that matter. My 8Th grade science teacher had a poster, and I'll never forget it. "Years from now, it wont matter what clothes you wore, but how much you payed attention." This is so true, so many kid's sit in class, and talk about what clothes they got last night, and there trip to the mall. I know we are all just kid's, but come on now, life is more than just fashion.

Why can't we all just get along, and stop worrying so much about clothes. Why can't we all be on the in crowd and be cool with each other. Although the in crowd seems to be the one's that never pay attention in class and fail at life, no harm to the one's that are in the in crowd. None the less, every needs a little love in there life.

Another thing that makes me made, is the celebrities endorse clothes, which gets kid's more interested in clothes. At my school, if you don't have to right clothes, or are not up to date with the new things, you are as good as done. You must not be cool because you would never in your right mind spend over 100 dollars on shoes. None the less, you might not even have the money to do so. I have some what gotten past the fact that I am not accepted because of my clothes. Clothes are just clothes to me, no matter were you get them.

Now, I know I objected myself when I said that kid's need to focus more on school and not clothes, and then saying everyone should be on the in crowd, no matter what. Please allow me to explain myself. Would you have any drive to do anything if you were not liked in school. What i meant when I said that everyone deserves to be on the in crowd, was not that they should not pay attention to anything but their social life, but Merle to pay attention and learn in school, and be able to socialize with anyone they want to. You could also say that people need the chance to express them selves, and I can understand that, but they do not need make it their life, and make clothes choose who their friends are. This is just my opinion, and feel free to express yours

Out of Topic's and Idea's for the day. Bummer

Well, since I did not see anything interesting today, nor toke place in, I truly have nothing to write about, except many small things. One thing I did today, although it is unimportant, is that I made a truly make shift computer desk. You know those small T.V dinner tables, I have three of those lined up in a row. Although it's not a real one, it still works. Also everything fits on it, this makes everything more easy, that way I don't have to email my paper's to myself and go to my families computer to print it out, I can stay in my own little bat cave. I will enjoy this until I can pay for a real desk.

One thing that made me mad was that the only place I applied to for a summer job only hires sixteen and up. Why would you have to be sixteen to stock shelves. I mean really, After it was to late to get my work permit, I went to McDonald's to see there hiring age, which was 14. There going to trust someone with food, but not to do something as small as putting product's on shelves. Any ways, this Means another summer of seeing a lot of grass, cut that is. I did the same thing last year, and I thought it would be my last of dragging that mower around, guess not. I guess it is kind of my fault. I totally forgot about a summer job and went to get my work permit two week's before school let's out. I did not know you need your employer to fill a section of that out in order for you to get your work permit. I do not see why, maybe you want to get your permit just in case you need to get a job, oh well, I guess it's for protocol. Some time's I just wish i could grow up, in the head that is, to act just two year's older, which is 16 for me, and become more disciplined, but stay 14, does that make since. Well it does for me.

Inside my head that is filled with everything but stuff to write about, the smallest thing's are pissing me off. Blogger keeps telling me that "don't" is spelled wrong inside of quotation's, it says that "don't" is wrong outside of quotation's. This drives me insane! I hate when I spell something wrong, which is for another reason, that I hope I never write about. Well, that's about it for today.

Constructive Criticism? My Thought's.

OK, this subject never really bothered me, in fact, I love the idea of constructive criticism. It was not until recently that I began to think deeper into the idea. My own view on constructive criticism, which I will be calling CC from now on, is that of telling someone something they did wrong, and how to fix it.

What bothers me is, while at my baseball game, my coach noticed something I did wrong. He then preceded to yell at me that I did it wrong, and to fix it. This is where my perspective of CC turns fro good to bad. When I asked him what he was implying to do when he yelled at me, he simply said "Just a little constructive criticism." To me, that was not CC, but a acknowledgment to what I had done wrong, and telling me to fix it.

I would not be so frustrated, but this is they way he's been going about it for the whole season, and yes, it is a travel baseball team, so I don't suck. What ever my coaches tell me, I take to heart. It something I can't help. Therefore if a coach tells me I'm doing something wrong, and i screwed up, it gets to me. After what he says to me, never comes a "Nice try" or "Good hustle." So therefore I am inclined to think that I did not try my best to get something done.

However, this coach is probably one of the best coaches I have ever had. I asked him if he really thought that what I was doing for the team was only negative, he said he had never meant for it to be that way. He told me that what he is trying to do is build me as a player, and after recognizing a flaw so many times, it goes away. After hearing this, I completely agreed.

This is also a prime example of how to different people's opinion's on a subject can be totally diverse, but will have or want to have in the outcome. Never think that because someone says the agree on a topic differently than you, means that they want a different outcome, just simple a different approach to it.

"Night" by Elie Wiesel

Today, we had our English final, and one of the question's made a reference to the Book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. Now, if you haven't read or heard about the book, I would suggest doing so, as it is a very good novel. In this novel, Elie, tells the story of his experience in the Holocaust. He was just a little boy, the age of eleven when things started spiraling downwards. I'm not going to go into much more detail's, because me doing so would do no justice to the Novel.

Through this book he states all of his emotion's and thought's through out the experience. Without me being able to relate to these feeling's and the horrid thing's that not only he experienced, (I'm saying this for you, Grunt), I will try my best to not be judgmental about them. One thing that caught my heart though, was his perseverance to stay strong and not give up, and also that he is staying in it to almost force his dad through it too. As the book moves to the end, you can notice that his faith in God, and his passion to keep his father alive is fading away. This struck me as odd. Not so much about the losing faith in his God part, but losing the passion and will to keep his father and him trudging along in there terrible event.

You would figure a young man would need a father or mother figure to live and keep going, but Elie towards the end, almost blatantly states that his father was holding him back from surviving. I guess as much as he went through, he gained maturity and discipline faster then the best of us. Again, trying not to be judgmental.

All in all it was a really good read, keep in mind that I'm a freshmen in high school who does not take kindly to reading. Now, go out and get the Novel and start reading, You'll love it!

Is Any One Out There?

Have you ever been outside in a nice night and looked up and wondered "Is any one out there?" I myself seem to do it almost every night I'm outside. This question I'm sure not only baffles me, but many others as well. Scientist believe that Mars, and also Venus used to contain life, now this may only mean small little organisms, but still, that's life on another planet besides Earth. This not only means that there is life there, but that it can also support life. People often pass over the thought of what we are doing to our planet, and the effects it is having on the O-zone layer, the thing that keeps from the Green House effect and Global Warming from happening. However, it may be to late to do anything about what we have done. We are already seeing signs of Global warming. Just last week we had hail. Keep in mind that the current month is June. Now just imagine that if we needed to get off Earth because the O-zone was disappearing faster than before. If in fact there was life on another planet, then we could move to that planet. Our only hope in our solar system is Mars, as Venus is nothing but a active rock with volcanoes now, and anything past Mars is Gas. So, As I give you that to ponder, I ask the question one last time, Is there any one out there?

Google's Blog Search?

Since I am fairly new to this whole "Internet Blogging" thing, I'm trying to look around and find new ideas for my own blog. When I came across Google's blog search, I was intrigued, but soon came to realize that life is not a common subject, funny huh? Now, First I must show you what I mean by all this Non-Sense. In the Blog Searches homepage, to the left you will notice subject's of blogs. Notice how the subject of "life" is not there. This may be my own opinion, but I love reading about other people's everyday life, and so called adventure's.

Now, I can understand that life is not an important subject in these bad economic times, But how can you skip over someone that is not afraid to share it and bare the criticism that is bound to follow. If you're one of the people that have magically never heard of "Cyber bullying" (as they call it in high school) then i dare you to go to any random YouTube video and not see one negative comment. You can also say that the person can just avoid them, but really, Bullying over the Internet is just like in real life.

I guess the subject is more on appreciation than that of just not being a tab. This is just my opinion on Google's new Blog search option. However, I use google like it is a religion, and use it for about everything, from how to spell words, to information for school projects and statistics about a certain baseball team or player.

Also, Not in any way am I trying you to stay away from Google or stop using it completely, this article is just one person's thought about something that many people love and use daily.

Venus Alive? My day home turns into a classroom

Well, after eating a half cooked burger, I got food poisoning. Unthinkable right? Anyways, I thought about writing again and so here I am. While laying in bed for most of the day, I enjoyed many good shows and movies. Well, more shows than movies. I watched A show about Earths twin: Venus. I had no idea that Venus, the planet in front of us if you bottom dweller's do not know, was once like Earth. This was astounding to me, the planet once had water. Keep in mind that the planet is now at a staggering 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, from the T.V show that I happened to see, I learned that it is not a dead planet. No, this does not mean there is life on Venus, but there are active volcanoes. Now back to the water that used to be there. What happened to it? Well, as you may know, the Earth has a so called magnetic "shield" around it. Reference the picture for a image of the shield. This shield is caused by the spinning of the iron in the core. Venus' core moves very slowly, in fact, on Venus rotation takes about 2/3 of an earth year. I believe he said 243 days. Such a slow rotation leaves no chance for a shield. What this shield does for the earth is protect the earth from solar wind. Scientists believe that the heat from being so close the sun, the water boiled away into the atmosphere, then the solar winds crash into the atmosphere, and it is gone into space. Then the atmosphere changed from water vapor, to Carbon Dioxide. Almost 97% of Venus' atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide. Since the atmosphere is so thick, any sun light and radiation that may be able to get through, can not get back out into space, speeding up the global warming.Now, though we may not see it in our life time, Earth's fate is just like Venus'. The Sun over billions of years will heat up. Another weird thing about the atmosphere of Venus, the clouds and atmosphere travel 6o times faster than the planet. Also, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times that than Earth's. Enough to Crush a car. To top that, there are also Hurricanes on Venus! Now, if you don't know, hurricanes on Earth are cause by hot and cold are meeting over and ocean. So how is it possible for hurricanes to be on a waterless planet. The rotation of Venus is what causes it. Strange huh? There is also lightning on Venus! Again, water is what causes Lightning on Earth. On Venus, the clouds of sulfuric acid is thought to be the cause of lightning on Venus. Sulfuric acid is what is in batteries. Lightning is a ingredient for life. Since I do not feel like writing a book about Venus, I will stop writing. Thanks for reading and FOLLOW ME!

My Life

Hello, This will be a "journal" about my life. I will try and keep up with it, but as i am a 14 year old boy, I am making no promises. So, with out further interruptions, let my introduce myself. My name is Robert, and as I said before, I am fourteen. I love to play baseball, well I love almost any sport. I recently just broke my jaw, about four weeks ago and just got the rubber bands off. As a teen, I think school is a drag, but I like going to it, weird huh? Although I think it is a drag, I have a few subjects I like and enjoy learning about. Now, every since I was in about fourth grade, I was in love with math. I love solving problems and being the first one to come up with the answer. Another subject I enjoy is science. Well, the study of space and the planets, and the possibility of life on other planets. This totally fascinates me. As you hopefully can imagine, I love English, well at least the writing part. My favorite is telling stories about my life, or research paper's. That's enough about school for now. Music is a big part of my daily things I do. I don't write music, or sing, I enjoy to listen to music and analyze it. What I mean by "analyze" is to try and get the meaning behind the words. I love getting into what they were thinking and what may have happened to them to write a song about it. I enjoy informational shows and movies. My favorite channel is either that "Nat Geo" channel or the "Discovery" channel. This is all for now, If you have any questions about things I may write, feel free to email me at rgoody@live.com. You can also reach me at twitter at http://twitter.com/TH3LILGRUNT. Thanks for reading and be sure to follow if you like reading journal's!!
