Black and Yellow Black and Yellow.

If I had to pick one job that I absolutely hated the most around my house then it would definitely be taking my dogs out every morning and every evening. They never make things easy they are always getting tangled in the leash and they are always stepping on me or licking me or nosing my pants or something along those lines. Then there's the fact that they are always knocking their food and water bowls down the stairs into the basement. I'm always having to pick up after them and take care of them and feed them and bathe them and give them water and it's just annoying.

I clearly remember having a favorite toy when I was a kid. Most kids had a favorite blanket or a favorite stuffed animal or something like that. I was one of the weirder little kids. My favorite toy was a little toy train. It had yellow track pieces and the primary color of the train was blue. The train also had red and yellow on it it different spots. I remember that the train was larger than most train sets but with less track pieces. It was an older one. I remember that i had even named the train. It's name was Otis, like the dog from Garfield. I used to love watching Garfield and I would always read the Garfield comic in the paper. I remember one day when I was sitting at home I was upset and nothing was able to cheer me up. I remember walking into the living room and seeing the train set on the living room floor already pieced together. That was the first day I ever saw that train. That was the day with Otis that I will never forget. It cheered me up a lot to see a new toy in front of me! I sat on the living room floor and played with Otis for hours. Then every time I got upset after that, I'd just put together Otis and play with him for hours on end. I still have that toy train somewhere. I remember coming across Otis a few years ago and putting him together for old times sake. Now that I'm thinking back on this happy time, it may very well be time to put Otis together again.

Everyone had something they were afraid of when they were younger right? There are even some people who still have those fears. When I was a little kid, I thought that I was superman. After my accident when I was in the first grade though, I started being a little more cautious. I was constantly considering every aspect of every situation. I also developed a few things that I was a little afraid of. One of those things was spiders. I never knew which ones were deadly and had no clue how to tell them apart. I still am cautious of spiders, but I'm not really afraid of them either. I'm also not nearly as cautious as I used to be either. When I was a little kid I would do anything. People called me a daredevil. Now I'm slowly starting to become the brave kid that I once was. If I know that I can do it, I'll usually do it. If I know that I cant do it, then I usually won't. There are those occasions though when I don't think that I can do it, but I'll still try anyway.

Dear Future Child

There are many things that I wish for you to know about me. One of the things that I wish for you to know is that basketball is my life. I am a huge Boston Celtics fan. I also enjoy football. When it comes to football, I am a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I really do hope that you will turn out to be a fan for both of these teams. There are other matters of importance though. I want you to turn out to be a better person than me. I don't really care about school and I want you to be better than that. I also want you to try your hardest to be successful in this world. I don't want you to be a slacker like me. I want you to get a good well paying job and live a good life. Well that's bout all I have to say. Good luck.
