Dream House

This is a bunch of random "things" that I would want in my "dream house." I would like to have a house on a hill so it would overlook the endless horizon. I want it to have six bedrooms and three bathrooms. When I say I want six bedrooms I don’t want them to be small ones, I want them big so my kids won’t complain. I want a three car garage. The third one will be for my kids and bikes and toys. I want my yard with flowers in front of my stairs up to my front door; I want curved stairs with a covered patio at the top of the stairs. I want my backyard to be grass with a garden and a fountain. I want a big deck in the back for barbecues and parties. I would have to get a riding lawn mower so I wouldn’t have to spend the whole day mowing it. I would like to have game room in my house with a pool table, ping pong, foosball and air hockey table. I would want a huge family room with a sectional couch and a projector. I would like to have a master bedroom with a walk-in-closet and a jetted tube and a big shower. I want an attic that you could put stuff in and walk around in. I would like to have one of those kitchens that is ginormous and has matching cooking appliances. You know what would be cool is having drinking fountains in the house. I want a computer that is wide screen and has fast internet. I want to have some kind of dog. I would like to have a bunch of other stuff in my dream house but can’t think of anything right know. I know some of this stuff would be expensive but everybody has a picture of their dream house.

Update on my puppies.

Well, they have nearly doubled in size and are starting to walk around in their bin. We have them in a old guinea pig cage. They are starting to get brown around their face and feet. They "play" and roll over on top of each other. Daisy the mom, never wants to be with them, she is too busy keeping an eye on Milee making sure she is not getting any attention and not having fun. The puppies are SO cute, Boo is so fat, and Bones is nearly half of Boo. Boo never stops eating whenever Daisy decides she wants to be with them she never stops eating. Their eyes have opened and their teeth are starting to come in. There is starting to get long and thick. You will never see them not touching each other. Right now they are lying side by side, sleeping. We already have sold Boo and he will leave right before Christmas, if we are lucky they might let us keep them till Christmas and they will get it for a Christmas present. My mom found this website that showed the average growth of a puppy and when we weighed Boo she was off the chart by the first week.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for many reasons. First, I like it because family comes together and has a good time. This thanksgiving my grandparents from Canada are coming down. They are lucky because they get 2 thanksgiving dinners because in Canada their thanksgiving is in October. So if you love thanksgiving dinners and want to experience that warm filling dinner twice go to Canada. Second, I like it because there is so much to eat, the warm, juicy turkey, the hot, fluffy stuffing, the many varieties of salads, the mashed potatoes drenched in steaming gravy, the warm, buttery rolls. I only like turkey if I can have it first, I hate cold turkey, it is so dry, I have to eat the turkey before all the sweet juices leek out. Third, I like it because everybody realizes what they have and how much they are thankful for it, here is a list of some of the many things that I am thankful for: shelter, food, family, money, music, entertainment, gospel, clothes, a bed, trees, computers, and dogs. In my family before we eat our dinner we all say one thing that we are thankful for. I love to hear everybody comment of what they are thankful for. We have so much in this world. When my family finishes eating we all sit around and talk, I love when everybody is happy and just talk. I am really excited for my grandparents to come down they will be staying till 2009. They are the best. My grandparents have not come down for awhile and it is always fun to have them around.

Music

What kind of music do you like? Rap, country, rock, classical, blues, pop, hard rock, jazz. Can you imagine all those songs out there in the world? I don’t really have a favorite type of music. I can’t say that I love rock and hate blues. If it is a song that I like then I like it. I try not to let whether it is country or classical determine if I like the song. I have some of all kinds of types, yes I like SOME country. The only music that I don’t like is probably those songs that are hard metal and sound like the sing is dying. My dad hates all the song that has been composed since 2000. Well there are some exceptions. He can name every song he has within he fist two notes of the song. We got this game ‘scene it music’ my dad is a pro at that game because it uses all the songs from the 70’s and 80’s. I am longing for a music player to listen to my music. My brother broke my other one and I ordered a new one but it was a scandal, they took our money and ran. Luckily we got our money back through visa but visa lost money and are trying to find the guy and get their money back.

What would you be?

What do you want to be when you grow up? Everybody has at least heard that world a couple hundred times at least. That question that in elementary you have to write goals during SEOP conferences. I hate that question. I think that I want to be a policeman, but then you hear about people that have died be a policeman. Then you want to be a doctor because they make a lot of money. Then you hear about all the school you have to go through. The list goes on and on. I think a lot of people have come up with the ultimate job where you earn a lot of money and not too much school. I don’t know there is a job out there where the less schooling you have you can earn more money. I want to be a pharmacist when I want to grow up. I want to start as a pharmacy tech when I get out of high school and start to work to be a pharmacist. I like the sciency kind of jobs. I want to have good working conditions, good pay, good hours, and another list of stuff that everybody wants to have. I don’t like those career tests that tell you jobs that you would be good in. It never gives me jobs that I would like to do. It might be that I am entering in different than what I feel. I don’t like those personality tests that tell you your organization level, physical level, social level, and all those other attributes. In our biology class we went to the lab and took this two hundred question test. When I got the results it was the exact opposite of what I thought I was like. I hate to answer that question “what are you going to be when you grow up?”

Coolest Inventions

This blog is going to be about some inventions that I think would be cool.
1. A time travel machine: I wonder how much it would change about what we know of the past. People could do things over again. I wonder if time travel was an everyday thing would there be laws and rules that you have to obey. I bet it would be expensive and the person that invented it would be the richest man alive. It would probably cost a lot of money to have one. Maybe it would use up a lot of electricity.
2. Jet pack: Whenever I am walking home I always think of some way I could get home faster. One day I got on Google Earth and measured the distance from my house to the school, it was .89 of a mile. Then I measured a straight line and it measured .41 of a mile. That is less than half. If I flew with a jet pack I could get there a lot faster, and it wouldn’t take much effort. I wonder if the government actually has jet packs but they aren’t released to the public.
3. A mind robot: it is a robot that you program it to read your mind and then complete the task for you. Like if you forgot some homework you could use telepathy to tell it what to do, all you have to do is “think”, and it is being completed. The person who created this robot sensation would be a pretty rich person as well.
4. Automatic Lawn Mowing Machine: Wouldn’t that be cool, to have a small machine cut the grass for you. All you have to do is put it on the grass and let it go. It would have sensors that tell it were it has cut and hasn’t. You can mulch the grass because you could do it more often. It would be perfect you could program the robot how you want your grass to look (like stripes or half and half). The only bad thing is that all the people, (me included) that mow lawns wouldn’t get any money. I earn most of my money mowing lawns and I don’t think that I would like it to take my job, maybe I could let it do my yard because I don’t get a penny for mowin’ it.

There would be a lot of things that would be fun to invent but most of them would change the society. Everybody would be do things different than they used to. People would rely on technology to do everything for them. I know these sound cool but like in Walle people would get fat and do nothing.

Coolest Inventions

Puppies

After Halloween night at 2:32AM, Daisy had her puppies. In our family, we guess, one week before the designated time of birth, the number of the puppies, the time of birth, the date, and if they are boys or girls. On Halloween morning daisy started winning and digging in blankets. This continued all day long, it was annoying and everybody was anticipating the arrival of the new addition to our family. We were all anxious for the puppies; we knew there were more than 2 puppies because we had an x-ray a couple of days before. I went to bed around midnight and had a very long day. I knew she was going have her puppies that night because she couldn’t stop moving and you could see the puppies moving around in her belly. The last time she had her puppies it was around 2 o’clock so that is what I guessed. The prize of getting the closest would get a bag of candy. I guessed 2 days earlier so I didn’t get the prize. My mom ended up getting the prize, we said that it was her influential power over daisy and told her to have them on the morning of November 1 at 2 o’clock.
My little sister stayed up all night with my parents, she was determined to see daisy birth the puppies. I personally think that it would be a blast watching that. (That was sarcastic) My sister wants to be a vet when she gets older; that is why she was totally psyched about it. At 2:43 my sister comes storming into the room, turns on the light, and screams, “she just had one puppy.” “What time?” I asked. “About ten minutes ago.” Why didn’t you come and get me sooner?” “I was watching the whole thing and didn’t want to miss it,” she said. Typical, she wouldn’t miss it for the world. I walked downstairs where I saw my dad relaxing on the far end of the couch. (He doesn’t really get a kick out of watching the dog give birth.) my mom, who also is intrigued and spends hours researching what she should do if something went wrong, was sitting next to the place where all this exciting action was taking place. We were wondering if there was going to be another puppy coming out because nothing was happening except daisy was giving the new born girl a proper licking bath. I sat down there for 5 min. before I was about to fall asleep on the floor. I went to bed and fell asleep instantly.
In the morning everybody woke up early to give there undivided attention to the, limited time only, new addition to our family. There were 2 puppies in the morning, both girls. My mom, dad, and little sister named the puppies the night before. The one who came out first is called Bones, you get it; it was right after Halloween, I thought it was kind of cheesy. The second one they named Boo, because she came out an hour after Bones, kind of like peek-a-BOO. I will try to get pictures on here. Please leave your comments.

Dream Vacation

“Good night, by the way, we are going to the Joneses’ house tomorrow for dinner” my mom whispered to me.

“Good night, see you in the morning,” I replied.

“You have good dreams’ now, Ok,” she told me as she was walking away.

“Ok.”

I lay there, thinking about what would be fun to dream about tonight. Should I fly or travel time. I know, what about a vacation somewhere that I could do or have anything that I wanted…………………..

“Can I take you luggage?” a young man with black hair asked.

“Please and thank you,” I said. The man walked off, across the bridge and into the 1,100 foot cruise ship. I stared, mesmerized by the immensely big ship. ‘Freedom of the Seas’ was printed along the side of the ship in rainbow colors. Black dots scattered the side of the ship some had people staring out of them, watching the oncoming tourists. I started the long walk from the bridged elevated a hundred feet above the ground. The bridge was clear glass; it was like you were walking on air.

“Can I have your ID?” the man in white sailor clothes asked.

“Oh, what is this for?” I asked as I pulled out this credit card shaped like thing; it had printed the boats name and its cruise ship company, Luxury Liners.

“It’s is used as a room key and shows you room number, it will be also used for extra stuff you buy to be billed to you account. Since you won the contest on the radio you won’t need to worry about the cost of anything.

He then swiped my card and a ding-dong noise sounded and my picture came up.

“Thank you,” I said as he handed it back to me.

I went through a security check, and passed some advertisement, wanting me to buy cups or hats with the name of the cruise ship on it. I looked my card to see where I would be saying. ‘Suite 1,’ sweet, a suite. I laughed to myself for the joke I made. I looked around to find a sign showing the location of my suite. Ahaw, I followed the directions to get to my suite. I found it and swiped my card. I pushed the door open, WOW! I couldn’t believe my eyes; I blinked a couple times to see if my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. The ground was glass with water underneath. The walls were splattered with every color that existed. I had a queen bed to myself, no more sharing with my brother. “Ah” I screamed as a fish appeared below my feet. One by one, more and more, appeared they were yellow with a silver stripes along their back.

“Knock, Knock, Knock”

“Who is it?”

“Room service.”

“Come in.”

“I have you bags and I wanted to see if you are comfortable,” a tall man that looked like he was in his 40’s and had dark brown hair.

“I am fine,” I replied.

“That is great, I will be cleaning you room twice a day once at 10:00 AM and once while you are at dinner. If you have any questions or concerns, please, let me know. What is your name?”

“Travis, why.” I asked.

“I am going to label your door ‘Travis’s Room.”

“Ok thanks for brining my luggage up here.”

“No problem,” he said as he was walking out of the room.

“Wait, where is the men’s room?”

“Go straight down the hallway and turn left you can’t miss it.”

What should I do now; I grabbed the map and looked for anything that looked interesting. H2O zone, now that sounds fun. I dug though my suitcase and found my swimming suite. I rushed out the door, and followed the directions on the map to the 14 floor and found the H2O zone. WOW! It was amazing. The ceiling was glass so it could be used during bad weather but still let the heat from the sun to get through. There was a water fall coming from the balcony of the H2O zone. There was this colorful seahorse looking thing in the middle spraying water in every direction. Soft, squishy, blue, matting covered the floor, so it wouldn’t hurt walking across it in bare feet. One pool was a basketball court but covered with water, another pool looked like you could play water polo. There was a huge lazy river with the current flowing really fast. 3 water slides ranging from beginner to expert. I played in the H2O zone for the rest of the day. My hand and feet were wrinkled so bad that it looked like I went through a time machine and turned into an old grandpa. I cantered along the ship admiring all the things that are possible to do, weight rooms bigger that my house, dining rooms with 4 levels, and an crystal chandelier, lounges with top of the line leather furniture, casinos, (I didn’t really pay too much attention to those) the game room with 10 pool tables, 10 air hockey, 10 ping pong tables and many more arcade games, and the main room in the center of the ship. That was so cool; the glass roof hundreds of feet above me. You could see all the floors of the ship, 8 elevators surrounded the perimeter of the room. I fell asleep very fast that night, I was exhausted. I wanted to skip the night so I could explore and play more the next day.

“Ding…..dong…….ding…….dong,” my alarm sounded.

“Nnnnnnnnooooooooo,” I cried “it was just getting good.”

Halloween

Why is Halloween a holiday, why is it a day that you are allowed to scare people? Why is it, on October 31st when you leave your warm house and go outside in freezing cold weather and say trick-or-treat? Why do you get candy and watch scary movies on Halloween? Why do people say trick-or-treat when they only want a treat? Why do we carve pumpkins and put a candle in them, it is not like it scares a lot of people? Why do people dress up and run around being scary? All these questions and I don’t have any answers? I personally don’t like Halloween; the candy, scaring, coldness, and costumes. I like a little bit of candy but can’t have too much of it or I will get sick. I like scaring others but don’t like being scared myself, which is probably the same with everybody. I especially don’t like going out in the cold. In this climate it is pretty cold at nights during the end of October. I like carving pumpkins. I love the smell of pumpkins, and the taste. Why do we have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving and not on Halloween? In my family all the candy has to be gone by Thanksgiving or it will be put into a bowl for everybody will eat. I don’t think this is enough time, me personally I maybe could have half of it gone by then. On the other hand my brother is a candyholic. He will eat candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I share a bedroom with him so I have to change my candy hiding place in my bedroom weekly so he won’t eat it all. He is one of those little boys that will have their candy gone within two days of Halloween. I don’t know how he fits it all in but in is gone so quick and I had not seen him eat it I would guess that he would have thrown it away or auctioned it off. He doesn’t even stop to throw away his wrapper. He pours all his candy into the biggest bowl we have and just keeps it in there until there are just wrappers. In my family, now that everybody is old enough to go out by themselves, my parents stay home and sit. They probably think it is the best holiday because their kids aren’t around to annoy them. I looked up when Halloween started and it said about 2,200 years ago. When they would sacrifice animal with costumes on, (I guess that is where the costume ideas came from.) That is a long time ago. Anyway, the rest of my family isn’t a big fan of Halloween, but I went to somebody’s house last week and boy, they were ready for Halloween. Their house was filled with ghosts, fog machines, pumpkins, little toy decorations, and a bunch of other stuff. And they don’t even have any kids to send trick or treating. I guess that is what happens when you get older. I think Halloween a day in some countries where there is a day set aside so people can have an excuse to pig out on all the candy.
