been a while eh?

hey guys it has been so long. i have not posted since last november! it's crazy right? So not much has gone on in my life recently but as you probably know a lot has gone on in the news. what i really wanted to report about is josh powell. you know i could have done more research on it but you guys know me. of course i didnt haha itll be the day that pigs fly when i actually do my research

       I hate josh powell, i know i should have respect for the dead but for what they did he deserves none of that. For those who dont know,  Josh powell murdered his wife and killed his two children in his own suicide process. Now you guys can do your own research but this is just what i know.

       Here is what i know. He took his wife and kids "camping". he took his wife out on a "walk" but what was so strange was only daddy came back. the dad took the kids home and... well what happened next is something that may sadden some. The father (Josh Powell) started some gas from a stove or some other source. He got some matches, "daddy whats that smell"... you can probably figure out the rest.

  
There where no survivors. so im signing of its a touchy subject for much including me. so cya next time(:

thoughts on suicide

ey guys so recently i had a friend at shcool who i guess just couldnt handle life. he was a great friend of mine and i miss him a lot.  He alwasy seemed like the happiest most fun loving person ever. my thoughts oon suicide aare its never a good choice. i often wonder how many deaths caused by suicide there where in the middle ages. correct me if im wrong but i think a loot less.  i often wonder what knd of society we live in where peoples first choice is to end their own lives. i dont understand why they cannot see the good in life and get through it and i know its hard but you have to be strong for the people who love and chersish you. I dont havea a whole lot of time but i just want to say suicide is never the answer. i llove and cherish all of you and please never hurt yourself in any way shape or form. ........ that is all

Horrible t.v.

Well I'm in saint George and I have been watching a lot of shows on discovery channel, iv realized something... A lot of them really are not that entertaining. All the commercials advertise exiting things like finding giant hunks of gold or huge explosions, but a lot of the time that is for a couple seconds of a 30 minute to 1 hour show,and furthermore, the commercials completely oversell that one second of the 30 minute to 1 hour show. What makes me mad the most is the show gold rush. How can it possibly be the #1 show on the discovery channel if nothing happens? Then if that really is true that must mean the other shows suck even more than that one, and I know for a fact that when they find one little speck of gold in that 30 to one hour show that it's not the number one thing on discovery channel, especially when the only show I hear about on discovery channel is myth busters, they are definitely my favorite show and the only show I ever hear about on discovery channel


Another channel that bugs me is cartoon network, more like adult swim. Adult swim comes on at 9:00 mouton time. The thing is adult swim is on the same channel as cartoon network, I know plenty of people who are thougrougly entertained by cartoon network (specifically people of the younger age). After that 9:00 rolls around they are exposed to things that are completely unnatural and alien to them, things that are meant for the adult world . Something else that bugs me is thinking about cartoon network and adult swims conference concerning this. "oh I have an idea let's put an adult program on right after a children's channel" it's almost like they are trying to turn the children of today into perverted (for a lack of better words) freaks who know nothing more than things like sex, alcohol and drugs.


It was just on my mind, other than that I really enjoy television as does any normal teenager

High school

   So today was my second day of school at Jordan high school. At Jordan we have a and b days and today was my first b day. So technically it was the first time i finished my entire schedule for school. i have a feeling that i am going to like a days better than b days. a days i have health gym algebra and biology. on b days i have Spanish seminary world civ and ela or language arts. now that i think of it, i may like the days evenly. either way i am still psyched to be in high school.

   my favorite class so far has got to be either world civ or seminary. I have always loved being in seminary and this year seems like its going to be just as good. At first world civ seemed like it was going to be a boring class but the teacher is freaking amazingly awesome. not only does he let you text in class, sluf and listen to music but he just sucks you in with his stories. he told us a story today about one of his old college teachers that he is old friends with. i don't want to get into detail about the story but i could not take my eyes and ears away from this amazing man. i can already tell that i am going to have a very good student experience with him. also when he is lenient on the rules you can tell it is because he expects you to take advantage of the opportunity but not abuse it because he trusts the class. and the way he was talking and telling us the story, it makes me not want to disobey him.

   well i am still excited to be at Jordan and i am probably going to be excited for a long time. until next time, cya!

interesting local news

   So i was sitting at my computer when i started to realize something. hey i have a blog! now i know only a few people follow it but i thought what the heck. So i decided i will talk about this summer and me going into high school. This summer has been pretty awesome i must say. I have done so many things like camping, going to lagoon, timpanogas cave, swimming almost every day and hanging with my friends and Amanda. it is exactly 7 pm on the last day of summer 2011 and im way exited for high school. I will be attending jordan high school and i have heard many good things about it.

  An interesting story, this summer a girl who was going to be a 12th grader at jordan got in a car crash and was killed while she was coming home from her trip to wyoming. i dont know her name but her and her grandmother where killed in the crash. her entire family was in the car. i believe the little sister was in the ICU but was released. sadly i was not able to ever meet this girl. there where a lot of fund rasers for her family, and on the first day of school we are all wearing purple, her favorite color. sadly i have no purple... ya it sucks. well i give the family my most sincere apology and i hope they will be alright.

   So another story. Eastmont middle school will be changing from 7-9 to 6-8. im not sure when the change will occur but i know it is sometime around when my 8 year old brother will be in 6th grade. i dont really have any outside news so until next time i decide to write. peace off.

what i want out of high school

Well first off I want to say that I am really exited for high school I am so exited to have new experiences and do new things. What I want out of it is to be able to participate in things like sports and clubs like soccer or chess club haha go chess. What I also want out of it is something that I didn’t get in my years as a middle schooler. Good grades, I really want a better chance to get good grades in high school so that after hisgh school I can get a good job and be able to support a family. I think that this year in middle school I got teachers that aren’t neccesarilly bad teachers but didn’t really teach the best way for me to learn. I really hope I get the teachers that teach the way I like to learn so that I am acualy able to learn the things that are required for me to graduate.

   Now with clubs and sports I really want to be involved with the school and I want to be doing as many things as I possibly can be at once. If I don’t get the chance to do these extracurricular things I wont have as good of a time at high school as I possibly could be having. I want to have the best experience I can at high school. I have heard from many people including my parents that high school was the greatest years of their lives. I want to be able to say the same things to my kids dash other people that ask me the question. I also might not show it but I really love and if I do say so myself I am really good at soccer. I am sad I didn’t get the chance to join and tryout for the Jordan team this year but I want to be able to play next year. I love sports and I love doing them. It will be especially fun to be able to play for Jordan because it is my favorite school ever and I will be able to play with all of my friends that are on the Jordan team.

   However there are some bad things that I don’t want to happen during high school. I don’t want to be the kid that get bullied in school like getting teased and getting his lunch money taken away. I also don’t want to be the kid that is bullying other kids. I want to be the kid that thrives in his grades, Is nice to every single person in the school. I want to be the kid that is involved with everything available at the school. Overall I just want to have the best three years of high school of my live. I really want to be able to tell stories of high school to my children and grandchildren. So that is what im going to do

Template reveiw # 5

ime for template review # 5 baby!!! Again I was given an article to read and give a review on and here it goes. ARE YOU READY!!!!? Let’s go

   Question 1) Give and overview of the article. Well this article is just talking about a town call pripyat just a couple miles away from Chernobyl. It talks about a guide taking tourists through this ghost town, he warns them not to touch anything with your bare hand. This town became a ghost town when a nuclear reactor lost all of its materials stored inside it and the prevailing winds brought all of the waste over this town. In a small schoolhouse you can find childrens books and toys, and also children sized gas masks for the children. Most of the population fled the city when the nuclear reactor went off.

   Question 2) What are key points in the article? I think its important to understand that its so radioactive the tourists have to decontaminate their clothes when they are done visiting the town.

   Question 3) What did I find striking or interesting about these key points? I think it’s crazy how bad things can be in the world.’

   Question 4) How relevant would this be if this happened to you? Honestly I don’t know, I don’t think we have any nuclear reactors nearby but its definetly possible.

   Question 5) What do I agree or disagree with in this article? N/A

   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? It makes me really want to study these reactors and see how they end up going off and killing a lot of people.

   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could I look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Same as always.
