I am excited about getting the new laptop cart because I love computers and it would be nice to be able to have laptops that actually run at a decent speed and not super slow. It would be awesome if we get new laptops because then we can do more classwork on the computer and it will help us to become more computer literate which is good because this world is becoming more and more tecnologically advance and we are relying on technology more.

The Earthquake

I didn't even feel the earthquake. I was looking around at everyone wondering why they were screaming and running around. The only reason I knew that an earthquake had just happened was because I asked.

Today I am going to go to the movies with my boss, Marvin, LaTanya, and Jessica. We are going to see Clash of the Titans. I am pretty excited to see it. Then, when I get home, I am going to play Fallout 3, which is a game that I recently bought for Playstation 3. It's an amazing game created by Bethesda Softworks, which is the same company that made Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion. Fallout 3 takes place in the United States in the future after a cataclysmic nuclear war that destroyed the world and most everyone lives underground in vaults. All in all it is a wonderful game.

To Kill a Mockingbird

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around it”
"You know what we want, get aside from the door Mr. Finch".
"Well Atticus, I was just saying to Mr. Cunningham that entailments are bad an' all that......".
"Let's clear out,"
“This time we aren't fighting the Yankees, we're fighting our friends. But remember this, no matter how bitter things get, they're still our friends and this is still our home”
“Wh-oh yes, you mean why do I pretend? Well, it's very simple,"
"Some folks don't-like the way I live.
Now I could say the hell with 'em, I don't care if they don't like it. I do say I don't care if they don't like it, right enough-but I don't say the hell with 'em, see?”"No sir.”
"I try to give 'em a reason, you see. It helps folks if they can latch onto a reason.
When I come to town, which is seldom, if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can say Dolphus Raymond's in the cltuches of whiskey-that's why he won't change his ways.
He can't help himself, that's why he lives the way he does.”
"Sometimes it's better to bend the law in special cases."
"Atticus, he was real nice...."."Most people are Scout, when you finally see them"

My Favorite Cartoon Character

My favorite cartoon character is actually a character from a game franchise and animated movie. His name is Cloud (on the left). He was in SOLDIER but left because of his friend Zach Fair who was labeled as a traitor and killed. Cloud then decided to join a group dedicated to destroying Shinra, which is the corrupted government. His mortal enemy is Sephiroth, the one on the right. I like him because he has a great personality and because he is absolutely dedicated to helping his friends at all costs. He is also an amazing fighter.

The God of All Gods

I am a god in all aspects
The god of all gods with all due respect
Because I am awesome in every way
If I wanted I could jump over a bay
I have godlike strength and godlike looks
And with my intelligence I don’t have to pick up a book
Because I am indestructible and cannot be beaten
I definitely don’t have to worry about being eaten
I met a beautiful woman and discovered how vulnerable I can be
Maybe I am only full of hubris and not really what I want to see
Myself as But Sometimes if you wish it your dreams might come true
And I truly Became a god right out of the blue

Tool - Schisms

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us
So
We cannot seem to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall
Away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second
Guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our
Communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Winter Vacation

My winter vacation was awesome because I saw my sister and got a lot of presents. My sisters picked me up on Christmas eve and I went over to her house. On Christmas day we opened presents and I got shoes, money and gift cards. We also went to see Avatar in IMAX. I must say the movie was amazing. Then I came back and got more presents, which were games. Most of break I’ve been spending time with Kalifornia. I also played video games a lot. So over all I would say that I had a great winter vacation.
