Wanting Something You Can't Have By Dawson

This story is based on a girl trying to fill the empty spot in her heart.

Skye: I can’t wait for the nighter tonight!

Elizabeth: Yeah me too!

Skye: Do you have the 5 dollars

Elizabeth: Yup

Skye: Okay let’s go!!!!!!

(Skye and Elizabeth’s Grandpa Pulls up)

Bill: Are you girls ready?

Skye and Elizabeth: We were born ready.

Bill: Well okay then.

Skye thought to herself: Oh no what if he is there tonight, I can’t wait to see him, I wonder if he has a girlfriend?

Bill: Girls we are here.

Skye and Elizabeth: Okay, thanks see you at 10.Bye!

(Skye and Elizabeth walk excitedly to the front desk)

Secretary: What class? 5 dollars.

Skye: Miss Norton. And here’s the 5 dollars.

Secretary: Whoa, you haven’t missed any. Wait, you missed February.

Skye: I was sick.

Elizabeth: Skye, Skye, Skye!

Skye: Yes

Elizabeth: He’s cute. (Pointing at Sean.) 

(The song “Halo” by Beyoncé comes on.)

Skye:  Ask him to dance.

Elizabeth: I can’t.

Skye: You can, and you will. (Giving Elizabeth a push)

Elizabeth (to Sean): You wanna dance?

Sean: Yea sure, who’s your friend? (Pointing at Skye)

Elizabeth: That’s my cousin Skye.

Sean (calling to his friend): Hey, Dylan come here!

Dylan:  Yea what?

Sean (Pointing at Skye): That girl over there. She needs a dancing partner.

Dylan: Okay? Hey you wanna dance?

Skye: Sure. (Skye and Dylan walk over to where Elizabeth and Sean were). I love this song.

Dylan: Me too.

Announcer: That was the award dance, and the winners are Dylan and Skye!

Skye and Dylan: Yes! This is awesome! (They walk to get their $10 iTunes cards).

(Then before they knew it, the nighter was over. Little did Skye know, Dylan had been playing her the entire time. Dylan had a girlfriend, and now Skye was head-over-heels for him.)

Never Ever Do This At Home By Liam

I’m going to blog about Never Ever Do This At Home, a TV show you can find on Discovery Channel. Their motto is, “We do it so you don’t have to.” I would call this a science show. I have seen on this show: breaking toasters of the wall, playing golf in the house, lighting balloons of gasoline in a house, and making coffee in the sink. All of these experiments are dangerous. My favorite experiment they did was making a car into a remote control car. They didn’t show how they made it themselves, but they drove the car through an obstacle course while Norm, one of the hosts, was in the car. Teddy, the other host, made the car hit a tree, which the broke the left light in the front of the car.

The thing I like about Never Ever Do This At Home is when they are blowing stuff up. I like them blowing stuff up because I like seeing explosions. There isn’t really anything I dislike about the show. One thing I wish they would do on the show is light the oven on fire by overheating it. In one episode I just saw, they blew up a wall trying to make a walk in closet. The wall just fell down, and they blew it up with dynamite. The dynamite took out the wall and shook the top of the roof. It was a rough explosion. Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you check out Never Ever Do This At Home on the Discovery Channel.

Deadpool by Seth

Today I’m writing about Deadpool, a character from Marvel comic books. Deadpool wears a black and red suit, and his weapons are two swords, a pistol, and smoke grenades. Deadpool also has a power that allows him to heal himself. This ability is also known as accelerated healing factor. Deadpool is basically invincible. He even has dying brain cells that are being regenerated at an extremely fast rate. He also uses clones when he is in trouble fighting villains. He uses the clones for extra help and defensive purposes. He can also use them for commands and they can do his deeds. Unlike Deadpool, his clones can die, but he can regenerate them. One of his villains is Deathstroke.

What I really like about Deadpool is that he can never die because his brain cells just keep regenerating. I also can’t wait until they come out with a game for Xbox 360 and Ps3. If you like Marvel, I would suggest that you read Deadpool comics because he is awesome!    

Anime by Jazmyn

I am writing about anime, which is an animated medium of cartoons from Japan. Most people think cartoons and anime are all the same but they aren’t. Anime is usually made for teens, while cartoons are made for children. The reason why anime is meant for older viewers is because children might not understand some of the situations that happen in most anime. Other reasons that anime is for older audiences are that most anime has violent and dramatic scenes that might not be suitable for younger viewers. An example of a dramatic situation would be in the graphic novel Black Bird the characters deal with relationship problems, such as a love triangle.

I really like anime because of the graphic design, but all anime does not have the same design. The designs differ because they are all by different people; therefore, they’re unique in their own way. Another reason why I like anime is that there are a lot of genres to pick from, like action and fantasy. Anime is mostly about the plot or the storyline, but anime authors and illustrators also put a lot of work and detail into the characters so you can understand their personalities. A character I really like is Rei Miyamoto from High School of the Dead because I understand how she felt when she lost one of her best friends when a zombie apocalypse broke out. If that happened in the real world, I would be very upset, and I think I would feel the same as Rei did.

By the time you’re done reading my blog post, I hope you would like to give anime a try and experience it in your own way.

End of Days Book Review By McKenzie

I am writing about the book End Of Days by Eric Walters. It's about the world coming to an end by an asteroid that will hit them in less than a year. The book switches perspectives between the scientists and this little boy named Billy who lives in New York. Billy has created his own little society in an abandoned apartment building that has roughly around 200 people in it. In anticipation of the asteroid's impact, the people of the world have already gone mad because of their knowledge of the world's destruction. Policemen were sent out to find Billy after he had committed a crime, but the police are not interested in what will happen to Billy; they just want the reward that is given to them if they find him.

I really like this story because of the intensity surrounding the plot and Billy's character. Billy has so much on his shoulders, but he still manages to resist what is going on around him. He is strong in general, and he lost his parents at such a young age, which also makes him stronger as a person. He thinks of other people before himself. At this facility he is in, he has no friends and he is a bit lonely and confused. Despite the overwhelming atmosphere, he still seems to push through everything, and he becomes stronger every day.

One of the themes of this novel is perseverance, which is shown when they try nearly everthing to save humanity, but they never give up even if it comes with struggles. I think this is reflected in the scientists because the scientists are also doing everthing in their power to make sure that the rockets they sent up into space stay on track for that period of time. They continue to work on a solution, even though people are trying to kill them or something on the rockets goes wrong. They even face criticism from religious people who feel that God wants all this to happen.

Billy also perserveres by never giving up on trying to get back home. Some challenges Billy faces are escaping the electric fence around the facility, resisting guards, and surviving the troubles of the wilderness if he did make it out. He said in the book that he would do anything to make it back to his family in New York, even if it took his own life. He doubts that he will ever make it out of the facility, but he still sees the point in trying to return home.

I recommend this book for anybody who enjoys action and adventure, a great story with interesting characters, and some heartfelt moments.

JJ Talks About Skateboarding

Today I’m going to write a blog on skateboarding. I like to skateboard at the London or Port skateparks and around town. I have a Deathwish skateboard, Thunder trucks, Bones wheels, Reds bearings, and Girl hardware. I usually break a deck a week, and this one has lasted a week and a half so far. I use Thunder trucks because they last long and they turn great. When you grind they slide far and smooth and they are light. I like light trucks because it makes it easier to pop tricks, making them high and look nice. I like my wheels because Bones wheels won’t flat spot like other wheels.

Reds bearings may cost a lot but they last long without popping or seizing up, and they go faster than any other bearing. I like the Deathwish deck I have because my boards usually chip, lose pop and shape really fast and mine has lasted longer than most my boards so far, and it’s still got good shape and pop.

I usually break decks on rails, kickers and flat ground tricks. One of my friends named Keenan broke his brand new Venture trucks once on a frontside 180 kickflip over a big grass gap.

The shoes I like to wear are Chris Cole DC’s or Supra’s. I like wearing those shoes for skating drops and stuff they have good impact support and don’t hurt my feet. They break in quickly and feel comfy. Supra’s don’t last long; they only skate nice and feel nice on your feet.

I like to skateboard because it’s fun. You can hangout with friends, film, learn new tricks, and laugh when people bail. I got sponsored for skateboarding by a skateshop in town called Edge sports. I got sponsored because my friend Dez Barnim would film me. Once we got enough clips I handed it into Edge and got the sponsorship!!

Some of the things I put in my video were ollieing 9 sets, 180 6 sets, flip tricks on kickers, and grinds on rails and boxes. When I got sponsored, it got me discounts on everything, and if you go far enough with your sponsorship you can get free boards, shoes and other product. When you are sponsored, if you keep on handing in better footage, they will eventually hand your stuff in to bigger companies.

If they like your stuff they will give you free product every now and then, and if you still keep handing stuff in, they will put you on flow with them and give you a lot of product more often.

This is why I like to skateboard and why I find it fun.

 

The Loch Ness Monster By Justyn

Welcome to the Loch Ness Monster history blog post. The Loch Ness Monster is a mythical sea creature with a long neck. The neck is as long as a Brachiosaurus’, a neck which is about 30 feet long. Also, the Loch Ness Monster lives in a lake in Scotland. The Loch Ness Monster is very interesting, and it is probably not that friendly. The Loch Ness Monster is built to eat other animals, and it can also swim at very high speeds. It can also surface on the water, so it can catch low flying things above it. Some people have said that they have seen the Loch Ness Monster, and some people have claimed that they have encountered it too. Some boats have been flipped over by it, which has damaged and even sank some boats in the process. Photos have even shown a black image of something big travelling in the water. There are also a few photos showing the Loch Ness Monster sticking its head out of the water. Last, there has been some evidence found in the water that appears to be something destroyed by this sea creature.

I find the Loch Ness Monster interesting because I like knowing about something that is so big that can also be real. It is really cool to think that there is something that can destroy things in the water. The Loch Ness Monster also reminds me of an alligator gar swimming through the water, which is a fish with a strong skin and jaw. It is also interesting because so many people are still trying to find out about it. Thanks for reading, and go to the Wikipedia page below.
