Honesty

Honesty is one of the many values that can be worthwhile to contain. I admire people who are honest, those people who you can trust with anything. I also HATE those people that lie, cheat, and especially those people on the internet who will tell you anything that you want to know so they can get your money. I have had that happen to me twice in two months. I ordered an ipod off of the internet and waited the expected time that it should take too come. I waited, and waited, and waited, they said it would be here in 7-15 business days for it to come. I e-mailed the person and he never replied. We finally gave up waiting and trying to get a hold of the guy and filed a money back report. Our report was accepted and we got our money back. PayPal gave the money back but that guy still had the original money we had ordered with. I recently ordered another ipod and this person responded to all my emails until I asked, is it ever coming, he never responded. I wrote him and asked for a refund, he still hasn’t written me back. Why do people do that, I mean it is just mean. What if I ordered something for 1000 dollars and I couldn’t get my money back. It is just like I gave away my money to this guy with a picture on a website. The world has changed; people have grown more and more dishonest. On KSL there is an article that did a pole for high school students, it said that sixty-four percent of kids have cheated in the past year, and 93 percent of students said they are fine with their ethics and personal character. That means that ninety-three of the kids there are fine with cheating if they have. I can’t believe honesty nowadays. It is hard to find an honest person.

Reappear

Don’t you hate when you drive by something for the thousandth time and you just notice that there has been a certain store on the road. For example a couple months ago I was driving down Gentile and saw an owl on the top of the building I told my mom to turn around. When we turned around I pointed it out and my mom told me that it has been forever, it was a fake. That was the first time that is had seen the owl, I never noticed it before.

Getting Old In Time

Getting old; what an interesting concept. Time flies by, leaving you in the dust looking back at all the trials and memories. I am only 14; time has seemed to pass by leaving me looking back on all I have done experienced. Christmas is here already and it seems that just last month I was just tearing the colorful wrapping paper of the presents that were given to me. It seemed like just yesterday that I was watching the many countries battle it out for the gold. Time passes the exact opposite of what we would want it to. If you are having fun and never want it to end, it will be time to go as soon as it starts, but if you are sitting in your worst class (the kind that you are entertained on how fast the clock moves) time moves like a turtle you stare at the clock and it never changes. Time is a natural phenomenon, it moves at its own pace and you can’t do anything to change. WOW!!! I have really got off on what I was going to talk about at least what I wrote about was somewhat related to what I was told to write about.

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.
