Favorite Holiday

Roaming Gnome — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:38:26 +0000

My favorite holiday is Christmas. Everyone in our family comes to our house on Christmas Eve and then we go to church where I play the organ. The mass ends at about 9:30 at night and then we go home annd go to bed. The next morning there are hiddne pickles on our tree and whever finds them gets to open the first presents. And that is about it for traditions.

High School

Roaming Gnome — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 02:32:26 +0000

High School is a time to make great friends, start on the path to a career, and just start to become an adult. There is a single reason why highschool is important to me and it is very simple. Ever since first grade there has been almost like a ladder of power, starting with the lowest rung at 1st grade and slowly working up untill your at the top which is fifth grade. But then the next year you are at the bottom again and have to start all over. But when you get out of high school there is a different ladder, you have to work as hard as you can and once your at the top there is no automatic event that kickes you back again, you have to keep trying and when you get into high school for some people this is one of the ony times where there is a lot of responsibility put on them there is nobody to hold their hand, and that is why highschool is important to me because it is a time to show who adn what your and how hard you are willing to work.

My Cousin Is The Biggest Influence In My Life

Roaming Gnome — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:25:09 +0000

My cousin is now in college and should have come home yesterday for the holidays but, because of the snow he probably wont get in until Saturday or Sunday. The reason he influenced my life the most is because he was the one person who could really relate to me at any time, as well as liking many of the activities that I do and he is just alot like me.

What Is Really Out There?

Roaming Gnome — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:13:23 +0000

I wonder what is out past the end of the universe, is it nothing? Or is it something else? some people may say that it never ends, but just try to grasp the concept of nothing just a black space that is what might be out there but if it never ends try to grasp a concept like that just going on forever. So athat is what I wonder and I hope to be able to find out.

One Out Of Five…

Roaming Gnome — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:36:36 +0000

When I couldn’t think of a topic to write about I was walking to my piano class when it almost hit me, a small branch about the size of a ruler fell on the ground right in front of me. I was amazed at the fact that a single branch could be so complex, it amazed me further when i realized that all it was was layer upon layer of cell walls to make a branch. when I looked up at the tree above me I realized that all it came from was a small seed. And just with rain and sunshine they can thrive and grow. When you think of autumn do you think of thanksgiving or turkey but what some people take for granted is the trees leaves turning colors. So next time you go outside and it is autumn or any other time of the year just think of the natural beauty all around us.

“Flamingooo said that a tall tree is like a strong stalk of broccoli yum yum!!!”

And Flamingooo is right by the way because the next time you eat broccoli just think of a miniature tree. And on top of that tree are smaller trees, you could even imagine our hair as small trees because trees in the end are one of the main things keeping us alive so don’t waste them

Today on November 7th 1877, a composer named Henry Balfour Gardiner was born. He was a composer, a teacher and a musician. He composed 2 symphonies and is best know for his piece titled Evening Hymn. He soon became a conductor of contemporary British composers and he financed many of the concerts himself. He also was quite generous with his small fortune and purchased one of his friends houses while he was dieing so he could still live in it. henry quit composing in 1925.

This Is Who I Want To Be

I don’t want to be anything other than just myself, I just would like to change the way that I act in certain situations.

Live Blogging

When mayor Dickinson told us a story, this is what it sounded like:

A kangaroo was in a fenced in area with an 8 foot high fence and the zoo keepers went to bed and the next morning they found the kangaroo out on the side walk. so they put him back and built the walls 30 feet high and when the zookeepers came back in the morning they found the kangaroo out on the sidewalk again. So the giraffe asked how high do you think that they will build this fence? and that kangaroo answered 100 feet maybe 1000 feet I don’t know but I will always get out as long as they don’t lock the gate.

now mayor Dickinson said that this story meant that we can’t forget the basics but I think that it is just common sense and that he is right in the way that we need to have a foundation before we can thrive, but it’s just common sense.

This was the blog that I read, This is a paragraph from it

Americans drank some 37 billion bottles of water in 2005, despite the inconvenient truth that in most parts of the country, tap water is not only perfectly safe, but also more tightly regulated that its bottled counterpart… manufacturing plastic bottles for bottled water creates an astounding amount of pollution — an annual equivalent of 1.5 billion barrels of oil… Bottled water ‘very clearly reflects the wasteful and reckless consumerism in this country…

Here is a link to the blog I read. Earth

I found this blog by typing in Blog+Rainforest and I found this earth blog. I just read a few of the posts and this one just got my interest. Here is the comment that i left the bloggers:

Wow I just cant believe that in just one year making water bottles produces just as mush polution as 1.5 billion barrels of oil. I liked the post because it was short and to the point. And it gave alot f information.

I was unable to comment but I will try later, I could not comment because of the fact that there was an error when I hit the post button.
