The perfect day

Everyone dreams about a perfect day where everything went their way. Just think, if you had one day without your parents telling you what to do, and you got to just lay around your room all day and talk to friends on the Internet, phone, and e-mail all day. You could play video games on the computer and play playstation or Xbox whenever you wanted. You wouldn’t have to worry about anyone ruining your plans. Those are just some of the things that I would do to start off my day.

Normally on the weekends I sleep until about nine or ten o’clock in the morning. Then I wake up and get something to drink and go back to my room. When I go back to my room, I normally watch a movie, play a game of football on madden 07, which I am unbeatable at, or I get on the internet. This is where my day normally starts to go downhill. By this time my parents are up and hollering at me to let the dogs outside to go to the bathroom. After i do this, they normally have a list of other things for me to do. This is where i would change things up a bit and get my perfect day started. The first thing that i would love to change about my daily routine is the fact that there is a list of work to be done. That list would be passed on to my parents. I would love to be able to just lay back in my bedroom and just dominate every team on madden that was brave enough to oppose me. I am soon getting an internet connection for my playstation 2 so I can play people all around the world. That would be my perfect day.

Reality TV

Reality TV shows are a great thing. I would love to design one some day. I would make mine a comical reality TV show. It would be called Clash of the Comedians. The idea of the show would be to have a ladder of comedians. Two comedians would be chosen at random to start out with. After that the other comedians that are going to be featured on the show would randomly draw a number. There would be two different brackets of comedians. Each show would be an hour long. Two comedians from each bracket would go head to head. The winner from the battle would go on to the next round. The loser would be put on the losers’ bracket. Each comedian will attempt to make the crowd out laugh the other comedian’s jokes with their own. As the crowd laughs, the amount of noise will be recorded on a meter above the comedian’s heads they will be unable to see this meter. Which ever comedian made the meter go the highest will be declared the winner. After a winner is declared on each side of the winners’ bracket, the two losers will go head to head. The winner will move on to the next round on the losers’ bracket and the winner will go home. It will continue like this until round one is completed on both winners’ brackets and the losers’ bracket. Then it will continue by round after that. When there is only one person left on both of the winners’ brackets, those two will go head to head. When there are only two people left on the losers’ bracket, those two will go head to head. The final person left on the losers’ bracket will get one last chance to face the final person left on the winners’ bracket. The winner of this finale will get one hundred thousand dollars.

Super powers

I wish I was a super hero. If I was a super hero and I could have any super power that I wanted I would probably choose the power of being telekinetic. I think that it would be really awesome to be able to control things at will with my mind. If I was telekinetic I would also be psychic. Then I could also see the future and what was going to happen. I could tell how my day is going to go. If I was able to control things just with my mind that means I would not have to use the remote to turn the channel. I would not have to use the controller for a video game. I would also be able to do my homework without writing any thing and I would always get the answers right. I would be able to pass all of my classes with an A. if I had an A in all of my classes then I would not have to listen to my parents gripe at me. If I was telekinetic I would also be able to read and control minds. If I was able to do that then I would be able to control what was cooked for a meal everyday and I could also stop the teachers from giving us any homework. I could also tell people what to do without them knowing it. I would be able to control my entire life. After reading my reasoning I bet that most people would love to be telekinetic and control their lives.

Money matters

There have been many things that I have spent money on this summer. Most of that money was money that I had earned with my own two hands. I had many ideas about what I wanted to get or earn this summer. I had to come up with some ideas to narrow down items on my birthday list. The best thing that I have spent money on this summer would probably be more memory for my computer. My computer has about four times as much memory as it did when we brought it home. My computer is much faster now. Now that my computer is faster, it helps me to do my school work. My computer doesn’t freeze up as much anymore and it doesn’t lock up. I also am able to get on the internet with my wireless connector. I can get on to my moms internet, my neighbors internet, and one other internet source somewhere in my local area. I can stay connected with my friends and keep myself entertained when I am not working, or when I have nothing else to do. I don’t really have a worst decision about what I spent my money on. I worked really hard for things that I really wanted to get even if it meant making the money for it by working. I did what ever it took to earn most of the money that I spent on myself or my friends and family this summer.

About me

My name is Nick Garland. I’m 14 years old. I will turn 15 on November 24^th of this year. I am a freshman at Olympia high school. I’m going to be keeping a blog in my English 1/ writing class for the entire first semester of my freshman year. I hope that you enjoy reading my entries. There will be a new one each week.

I’m somewhere between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. I have glasses to help my nearsightedness. I have short light brown hair and blue eyes. I have broad and stocky shoulders. I have long and muscular arms and legs.

My personality is like most peoples, it varies by day. If I’m having a bad day, I can sometimes have an attitude towards everybody. If I’m having a stressful day, I can be easily angered. When I am having these kinds of days I just like to be left alone. Most of the time however, I am easy going and a fun person to be around. I show respect to everybody that shows me a little respect. I don’t expect to get much respect unless I earn it though.

Some of my likes are sports, reading, video games, and playing around on the internet. I ran cross country in 7^th and 8^th grade. I also ran track in 7^th and 8^th grade. I intend to run track again this year and I also intend to try out for the basketball team.
