:]

I enjoyed writing these blogs although I will admit that I did many at the last minute. It is nice to have because it is an account of my life at one point. I had a chance to vent about the stupid, obnoxious people at St. John's and it made me feel a lot better. It was a place where I could release my anger and stress and I'm thankful for that. It is also therapeutic to have something to write in.

Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf is a fun movie for people of all ages. Michael J.Fox plays a young boy in highschool that turns into a werewolf. As himself to others he is a nobody, but everyone loves the wolf. The wolf is excellent at basketball and good with the ladies. This movie is very funny and I would recommend it to anyone who is in need of a good laugh. The script or acting isn't anything fantastic but it is a movie for people of all ages and there any many of those left.

The Boston Red Sox

I have a genuine hate for the Boston Red Sox. The fact that they have won the World Series two times in a row really gets under my skin. I still remember the playoffs, when it was the Red Sox playing the Yankees. When Pedro threw Don Zimmer on the ground, at the time a 73 YEAR OLD MAN, I was mortified. You truly have to be a piece of garbage to do something like that. The team also started a bunch of fights and conducted themselves like barbarians. They never shave and look like trash most of the time. It truly sickens me that they won the World Series, and next year I'd love it if the Red Sox were up three games and then lost the next four to the Yankees.

Why I Want to be a Teacher

I want to be a teacher because I love children. I do not want them to feel uncomfortable in school like I once did. Children go to school to learn, not to constantly feel nervous and on the spot. I will not be one of those teachers that the children dread but one that they enjoy getting taught by. I will also not let bullying and calling out go on. I feel bullying goes on too often and the teachers don't say anything because they are intimidated themselves. I will also not be a permissive or authoratative, but somewhere in the middle. I can't stand teachers that get sick pleasure out of embarrassing their students and calling on them. They use their power for different purposes that what it is meant for. I had a philosophy teacher IN COLLEGE who loved doing this. These people shouldn't be professors, and I can't wait until I can teacher so I can prove to children that there are good teachers out there.

Fishing Weight

My dad told me a story the other day that fascinated me. He was always very close with his father, and when he died it devastated him. They did everything together, their favorite hobby being fishing. One day when my father was in the basement, he was walking to the bathroom when a fishing weight dropped onto his head. This could not be explained because the fishing weight came out of nowhere. He figured it must be his father sending him a sign that he was watching over him. This story made me feel great because it is a palpable sign that spirits do exist, and are still among us after death.

Strange Occurences and Deaths

I know this might be a little personal, but all of my grandmother's brothers and sisters have died in strange ways. My grandmother grew up in Germany, and had four siblings. Her father was evil and liked to play mindgames with his children. My grandmother has a rabbit, which she loved very dearly. Her father knew this and took the rabbit one day. He asked her if she loved him, and when she replied yes he snapped its neck. He also held his daughter out of the window and threatened to drop her if his wife did not have his dinner on the table in five minutes. When he refused to help the germans during WW2, he was thrown into a concentration camp. My grandmother never heard from him again, but knows he survived because people said they saw him from time to time. Her brothers and sisters also died in strange ways. Two of her sisters were hit by trains, and one of her brothers was in the shed after working one day. He went to drink his milk, but it turned out to be poison and he died. Her other brother was hit by a tractor. I do not see how all of these deaths can be coincedences. They all happened in freaky ways. Even though this story is sort of personal and horrible, at the same time it is interesting.

Ouija Boards

Ouija Boards are boards with the alphabet, numbers 1-10, and the words yes, no and goodbye. This is sold as a boardgame to children as old as seven, but is this really an instrument children should be playing with? I have had a first hand experience with one of these "toys" that turned me away forever. Me and my friend were really bored one day and took the Ouija board into a cemetery. This was really stupid and I will acknowledge how stupid this was. Anyway, we went into the cemetery and sat down among the tombstones. We started asking questions, and at first the board didn't work. When my friend asked the board for a sign that something was there, a tree branch broke. This might sound crazy but this actually happened. We were a little scared but thought this was amazing at the same time. My friend then asked the board if it was good or bad. I thought my friend was moving the triangle but I could feel the force it was moving and I am pretty sure he wasn't! The board answered "my name is fred". It then said "i am evil". I have never ran faster than I have that day. Ever since then I will never pick up a Ouija board again. I truly think it is an instrument of the devil, and can only bring bad fortune.

Go Ask Alice

Go Ask Alice is the true story of a young girl who was pulled into the drug world. It is the actual diary of a girl who was once a good kid involved in her studies until she gets involved with the wrong crowd. This story is so descriptive and horrifying it would drive anyone away from even the idea of using drugs. Towards the end of the book she doesn't even know what day it is and can think only about drugs. "After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs..." This is a direct quote said by Alice after doing every drug possible. This book shows you how far people will go for drugs and what they will do to get them. This is definitely a good book to read to enter the mind of someone enslaved to addiction.

Christmas!

When I hear Christmas I think of many things. I actually like the Christmas season better than the actual day. I love decorating my house and cooking before hand. On Christmas Eve, we all go to my father's mother's house. All of my cousins are usually there, and we eat fish and open our presents. After that we go to midnight mass. Even though this might sound immature, I love going to mass so late at night. After mass, we all go back to the house and watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I love spending time with my family because we don't get to do it enough. On Christmas day we all go to my aunt's house on my mom's side. We basically do the same thing we do at the grandmas, except with different people. This day is also extremely fun. The day after is horrible though. I hate waking up and realizing that it's all over, but it is worth it for the fun I have.

The Lovely Bones

I would definitely recommend everyone to read the novel "Lovely Bones". This book is about a young girl who is brutally murdered by the hands of one of her neighbors. The book shows the effect it has on her family and the gut feeling her father has about who killed his daughter. The young girl is telling her story from heaven and watching down on her family and her killer. The girl talks light heartedly about her death, rather than having such a negative view. I couldn't put this book down. It held my attention the whole time because it was such a unique story and written well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a fantastic story!

The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings is about a young hobbit named Frodo who goes on a year and a half quest to destroy the one ring. This movie is stretched out into three movies, and is done beautifully. It is very well made and took four long years to make all three movies. Even though these movies are extremely long being three hours each, it is worth it to watch. Not only are the graphics beautiful, but so are the costumes. Each costume was hand crafted, and even the insides of the costumes were hand crafted so the actors felt like they were really the character. Since the movie was shot in New Zealand, the scenery is beautiful. The actors were also amazing in this movie. I would definitely suggest buying this movie and watching it if you haven't seen it already.
