#32 The Amazing Dare Dozen

This was my high score.

#31 Free choice

   This free choice doesn't have much of a topic. It will contain of random rants and whatever comes on my mind while I am typing.  Right now I would really like to be out of the country, somewhere new different and a place to explore. There I can relax and get away from everything I deal with on a day to day basis this is what gets me so excited for summer knowing i'll be far away from everyone and everything I've come to know here. But it is always great when I come back because the second day back it almost feels as if I never even left, unless i actually think of the trip.

    I am a dwarf and i am digging a hole, diggy diggy hole. There is no time in space it i just a marvelous place with all sorts of interesting features including the one eyed creatures. The Burgundy ball is the most miraculous of all because it bounces straight over the 200 foot wall. Over the wall you will find your ball but first you have to encounter claw. The claw is a evil metallic device used to pick the small creatures up and drop them on their heads he does not do this till they are dead, no he just does this to amuse his master Fred.  Fred became master when he won the fish dish cook off. The fish dish cook off is a competitive cooking competition  where  you have to make the actual dish and then you prepare the fish and put it on your homemade dish.

     A great film is the cone-heads. There are twenty six letters in the alphabet and I bet you can't say them all backwards with your eyes closed. My friend Sonya just got a pet and it is a turtle containing salmonella from China town in L.A.. There is no place like home unless your in rome sitting on your thrown trying to make eggs out of bread. This is inevitable it is some sort of thing that over takes the way I think when I  have free choice this is not my real voice is that what you hear when you read this or do you use your voice or do you not have a voice when you read if so is that a choice?

#30 internet research

    Gmo's:genetically modified organisms are plants or animals that have been created through the gene splicing of biotechnology. This technology merges DNA from a different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that can not occur in nature. Monsanto is regarded as one of the most evil corporations on this planet, this is because they pretty much don't tell you what they put in your food.
    We don't know the risks of GMOs because there's no way of knowing. There's no labeling. Therefore there is no traceability. Therefore, there is no accountability. Therefore, there is no liability.
THIS IS CRAZY!

#26 Critical film review

  The film I chose to write a review about is My Sister's keeper. The story is about a girl named Kate who is diagnosed with cancer at very young age. Her mother Sara doesn't want her child to die so she has another child,Ana. Ana is a perfect match for all surgeries transplants and donations Kate will need.
Overall I think this is a very good film.
    The film shows the importance of life and listening to each other. There are times where it gets a little boring but then again all movies have there boring parts, so it is worth your while in the long run. The story gives a very real feeling to it almost like your hearing the experience first hand. One thing I wasn't to fond of was how they would have different characters narrate different parts this was kind of interesting it would be cool to see it done in a way that worked more.
     Cameron Diaz's performance is very good in this movie. You usually see her play the rolls of a somewhat likable character and that's what she has become known for. But not in this movie, in this one she is the crazy mother who will do whatever she thinks is best for her daughter even if it is not what she wants to do.
      The main purpose of the husband's part Brian, is to be a foil to his wife. A foil character  is set up as an opposite or contrast to another more primary character. On another note note I think that the idea of making a child with certain genetic make up is pretty messed up. This is because if you are making things a certain way you are planning on using them and having some born a certain just so you can use them is not entirely right.
       Overall I say this is one of the more touching and down to earth movies I have seen and I really appreciated it. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars

#25 pop culture

   One of my favorite activities is one i have begun to do quite frequently,fishing. I fished very little growing to where i have grown now. I used to take weekend trips to Catalonia on occasion and fish with my father out there. But that was the only time I would really ever fish, when I would travel with my dad and not only to Catalonia but pretty much where ever we went that wasn't local. There was one time when my grandpa, uncle and I went fishing in Chicago but that was very long ago and a one time thing.

   This year I began fishing on my own and with some of my friends. I started not really knowing where to go or what even to really use for bait for the few spots I know of. The first about five or six times I went I was salty, did not catch anything didn't even get a bite. But i have been willing and trying different things out and they have been working. I am very happy with my result. This past Monday, memorial day I went to one of my favorite spots. I'd say it was a good day i caught about 8 blue gill and 2 large mouth bass one being the largest bass I've caught in my life.

      When I fish the time goes by  at an alarming rate before you know it all the bugs are out trying to feast and that is one of the last things anyone wants is to be pestered by a bunch of mosquitoes and any other insect that decides to fly along with it. My desire has grown for larger and different fish I am currently trying to figure out how to wrangle in a catfish and a carp. Both animals can get to massive sizes but usually live in kind of swampy  murky ponds/ lakes. I mean catch the catfish with a rod not noodle them.

# 24 typing

I took a typing class way back in elementary school. Last week and this week are the first times I've done anything like it since.

The website i found is pretty mediocre it is some what like the rest of the typing websites. I t has a few categories like tutorials, games, tests, and products. They provide step by step training for any one who types whether you are just beginning or your already an expert. In the tutorial you can watch a demonstration of what they are going to have you type by using an animated tutor. There isn't a vast majority of games but the ones they do have are quite funional touch typing levels online touch typing course provides step by step training from the beginner's level and up to professional touch typing levels

#23 typing tests

this was my favorite game 

#22 smoking

The top ten reasons people begin smoking are: 

10. Peer pressure

9.Social rewards

8. Risk-taking behavior

7.Parental influence

6.Misinformation

5.Genetic predisposition

4.Advertising

3.Self Medication

2. Media Influences

1.Stress relief

My thoughts on smoking are somewhat open. I don't smoke myself but that doesn't mean I have not tried it. I find smoking to be fully a personal choice. If you don't smoke and are bothered by others who do then don't go somewhere where you know people are going to smoke. Vice versa for smokers don't smoke where you see a no smoking sign it is that simple, but yet people still can't follow these simple rules. If you are not getting any sort of enjoyment when you smoke such as from flavor and or anything else you should probably quit because there is truly no point in smoking if you don't like it. It is a personal choice in taking a risk for your health we all know smoking isn't good for so if you think your health is worth wasting six to seven dollars continuously just to look like a dragon well then by all means go for it. But that doesn't mean it is wrong it is something that some people choose to do, i just hope they realize they are always going to have to live with the choices they are going to make

#20 Free Choice

  I love food. Food is possibly one of the greatest experiences I have endured in my time here on earth. There is just so many different kinds of flavors, textures, and smells. The smell is what tops it off for me  my mouth begins to water like when a dog sees a bone. This makes me even more hungry come to think of it I am quite hungry at the moment. I should probably eat. The cat in the hat went to the beaches and saw plenty of sneeches. The sneeches had stars on their bellies and some did not. The star bellied sneeches would all laugh and point at the non star bellied sneeches and tell them they are all rotten peaches.

The next time you see a star bellied sneech make sure you have a star on your belly or you will be kicked of the beach. They do not care about what else you may wear as long as you have a little green star down there. They will not play with the normal sneeches until one day they found and even more marvelous creature.  My thoughts are not extremely clear today like I said I am hungry when I get hungry i get grouchy like oscar the grouch all I want to do is eat and lie on my couch. But I can not do this for it will cause me to have a pouch.

I have been jibbering and jabbing and blibbing and blabbing about things i have seen.  But there is no words i say that i truly mean. But this is all on a blog and can i do anything even ride a hog. There is no place for that cat in hat except maybe chasing a dreary rat and with that, That is that. But where does he rest when will it end spin the clock and watch the whole thing start over again. From top to bottom bottom to top all that is left is one little drop there is no passing by or movement to this way but yet again I have the choice of what I want today.

#19 Being charitable

 The foundation I would choose to donate to is the make a wish foundation. The make a wish foundation is a foundation where children that are terminally ill get to make a wish any wish and the program does what ever they can to make this wish happen.  I would like donating to this foundation because I know they would greatly appreciate it.

  I chose this one because I think it is an awesome program. What they are doing for the kids is really nice and it shows hope, hope that maybe one day things will be better. Children don't have the hardest lives but we all still have problems and i feel like this foundation makes those children forget about their worries for the brief a time and that is mainly why I think  this is so great.

#18 Bucket list

1. Ride my bicycle from orange county to San Francisco- My friend and I have been talking about this a lot this year at first kind of as a joke but then we really thought about it and talked about it and seemed to really want to. I hope to accomplish this with in the next 3 years.

2.Graduate from college- I don't really know what to expect with college where I'm going to go or what i want to study but I at least want to go and try and figure it out a little more.

3.Go to at least half the states in the country- I have traveled many places abroad including mexico,nicaragua,guatemala,el salvador,ecuador, the dominican republic, fiji, and the Galapagos. All of these trips were great experiences and I love traveling but I have yet to see what are country has to offer.

4. Restore a vintage Schwinn-I am actually about to begin this project I am trying to buy a 1973 schwinn breeze single speed today.Then ripping all of the old beat up and rusted parts off and slowly putting it back together with the same old look just new pieces in all except the frame of course.

5.See a giant squid in real life- I have always been interested in ocean life when i first saw a picture of a giant squid i was blown away I can't even begin to image what seeing one in person must be like

#17 stranded

  If I were stranded on an island one of the three things I would want to have would be a huge cement plot. This will come into play with the other two items I choose. The cement path will be very long and wide almost the size of the whole island.

The next item is very important almost the most important one of all. It's gasoline gallons upon gallons of it a near to endless amount.  This was obtained at the small price of $19.99 in total, not per gallon.

The last but definitely not least is the plane. I need the plane to be able to leave the island and with out it my other resources are pretty much useless. I don't know how to fly but I'd try in this situation it is always important to try and make the best out of a bad situation.t

#13 my favorite

 There are many ways to get around, skateboards, walking, cars, segways, and even scooters. But out of all of these modes of transportation bicycles are my all time favorite. I first fell in love with cycling when i began, The first time was at my preschool. The school had little all steel bikes and metal big wheels. I would watch the others ride around while i sat on the swings with my best friend at the time. I remember always wanting to ride a bike I just never knew how, So one day I decided to give it a try. I hopped on started pushing the petals forward and before I knew it I was actually riding a bike. It may have been for only about thirty feet but I was still so excited that I actually had ridden a bike.

 Riding a bike is really enjoyable for me because it's so simple and you really get to take in everything around you.  The First bicycle made with pedals and a turning device was made in the 1860's by two brothers. There names were Pierre and Ernest Michaux, they are not the first inventors of the bicycle but the earliest recorded cycle inventors of the modern day bicycle. 

The Bicycle has come along way and has had many modifications the most interesting one I've seen is my friend Evan's. Evan's bike is a relatively new beach cruiser but what's so cool about is it's motor powered. It is motor powered by a lawn mower engine and can coast at a speed up to 30mph. The way it works, well I'm not to sure how exactly to brake it down but it looks the engine sits above the bike chain pushers the back rotator up and over continuously once you start to pedal.

#16 Expertise

  One of my few hobbies that i truly enjoy is skating. I've been riding skateboards basically all my life whether it is just cruising around or actually going out and trying new weird things I've always been fasciated by them. There are many different things to skate and when you finally find what kind of style/skating you like most thats when you really start to have fun.

  Safety equipment is usually required at skateparks which I think is interesting. I think you should be able to skate at your own risk, and if the city is so worried about being sued have wavers that need to be filled out. The typical safety requirement is usually just a helmet but there are some parks that require  full padding from head to tow. You may be able to get around these rules and regulations but if a security guard or officer decides to drop by you are due for a nice little surprise if you don't get out of there in time.

   One kind of skateboarding that has a larger population of skaters than any other kind is street skating. Street skating consists of multiple elements and the best part is you can do it anywhere. They can flip the board by maneuvering their weight and feet in the right angle and position on the board. A skateboard is an amazing piece who could think a piece of wood, a turning device(trucks), and wheels could bring so much excitement and joy to so many peoples lives.

   Another kind of skating is transitional skating. It pretty much is what it sounds like, you are skating gradually slope and trying to achieve getting higher and higher until you can then reach the coping and really start schwack. Skating transition is really fun especially because you use you weight and energy to keep your speed, this is done by bending your knees as you approach the transition and the once you hit it you boost your way through thus increasing your speed doing this continuously will give u flow  and keep you moving this is called pumping.

#15 my dream job

  My dream job is to have my own clothing company. I have always been interested in the clothing industry because what is "in" is always changing. But that is not why i want to be part of the industry i want to be able to express how i feel by not only what i wear but what i do on what i wear and what i do with it. To be able to achieve having my own company i will have to start working for another. I will see how things are run and done, and take the information i obtain and use that to try to eventually start things.
   In owning my own company i would also enjoy being a sales representative. A sales rep goes to fundraisers or meetings and events and tries to promote the company to other larger ones so they will start carrying your products and then they will being to promote your materials for you as well as you still doing it as well.
    I want to do this because i enjoy different and diverse clothes. We live in area where a lot of people like the same things and i feel thats because they only get such a small taste of how much there truly is. My goal is to try and have an affordable clothing line with something for almost everybody from work clothes to hobos we'll have everything and try to keep it as far from your average generic skate/surf clothing line I think it is time for the industry to see a change and I shall do my best to try and full fill these thoughts.
   The industry is very competitive companies are continuing to buy each other out and use each other to get larger.When companies by one another out they seem to continue to use the other companies original graphics for a while and then all of a sudden you can see the change. This is not how I think things should be done I think they should keep the companies artist if they like his work and they should i mean they bought the company they should try to keep it original
