CD

The last Cd I bought was a Nickelback Silver Side Up. I haven't bought a CD in years. My mom bought that one for me after I had my wisdom teeth cut out. I have only bought a few CD's in my life and those where all from when I was a lot younger. I had a Will Smith Cd, Destiney's Child, Little Ricky, Big and Rich, and an Aaron Tippin Cd. Those are the only one's I actually remeber buying. The main reason I wanted Silver Side Up was for the song How You Remind Me.

Stress

When I'm stressed, I get angry. I don't believe anyone should ever be stressed and I get mad for letting myself get stressed. For example if I am assigned to much home work I get stressed because I care about my grades but I don't feel I have enough time. I'll go that extra mile when most people wont, and some times I kick myself for trying. Health and happiness is more important than a good grade, but I want my cake and I want to it it too for say. Usually I'll turn on my music and crank it up, go for a drive, or workout to relieve my stress. I just get irritable.

Cars

I have always been fascinated by muscle cars. The 2 cars I want the most are the 1969 Camaro and the 1968 Charger. At 18 years old I have already bought two camaro's, one of which I still have. The charger I want is pretty famous in the movie world, The Fast and The Furious and Blade both feature the car. I think it would be cool to black both of them out and have them for show.

Things I want to

There are many things I want to do before I die.

1. I want to visit both Brazil and the Congo.
2. Get my Juris Doctorate
3. Rebuild a 1968 Dodge Charger
4. Hike the Grand Canyon
5. Attend a UFC fight to watch Rampage Jackson

Purpose

I believe my main purpose in life is to simply live life to the fullest. Most people that live life in a positive matter stay positive. Positive people influence other people by just being happy. I want to make something of myself. I want to make money, live the rich life, and help the poor. You have to find yourself before you can find your purpose.

First time driving.

The first time I drove I remember gripping the steering wheel and constantly looking in my rear view mirror. I was not afraid to drive but I was very alert. The only thing I didn't want to do the first few days was pull out onto Carter Rd. I finally did and it wasn't a big deal. I love driving on interstates and highways. The roads aren't crowded and usually the scenery isnt to bad, in some cases it's actual nice. I find driving relaxing. Driving has never really been a scary experience for me.

Technology

The coolest piece of technology is a computer. What can't you do online? If you want to talk to your friends you can check out Facebook, Aim, or Myspace. If you have a project then pull up word, photoshop, or even MS Word. Instead of calling someone over the phone, just email them. You can even watch movies on the computer. Part of my degree will include using my computer also.

Trading Lifes

If I could trade lifes with anyone I would trade lifes with Will Smith. He's rich, he's athletic, he's happy, and he's an mc. I would like to live like him for a day. I grew up watching Fresh Prince and I've seen almost all of him movies except one or two. He's one of my idols. The first thing I would do is vistit everyone I knew and tell how awesome Ethan Hodskins was. Then when I had to switch back to my life, I would be "the man".

Grateful

I'm grateful for many things. I'm grateful for the little things like my bed, a roof over my head, and food to eat. I'm thankeful for the two greatest parents in the world and my brother. I'm grateful for my dogs. I'm grateful for all my friends and my haters. We have a close family that have occassional get togethers and for that I'm grateful. Some people don't have a home to go to and nothing to eat. Some people aren't close with their immediate family, so to be close to my extended family is specail. My friends are great and the people that don't like me just persuade me to better. I'm grateful for everything in my life.

Blue

If I could chew the color blue it would be refreshing. When I think of blue I think of the sky, the ocean, pools, those kinds of things, all of which are refreshing to me. It would be cool and minty by association. Every blue things is either minty or blueberry flavored. To chew makes me think of gum. If i could chew blue it would be cool and refreshing.

News

Many people seem to think the news and history are very important. I do not see the point to be honest. I think learning about Martin Luther is interesting, but why do I care about Japanese wars that do not concern America or who invented the printing press? If you open the newspaper it is filled with things that do not appeal to everyone, such as sports. Some poeple love it, others could care less. I believe if something is so important then eventually you will get word of it.

Tired of being tossed around.

Registering for college should not be as hard as WKU and OCTC are making it. I just need to know what classes at OCTC I should take, so they will transfer to WKU. That shouldnt be hard at all considering I have declared my major, found course numbers, and preresequits. However it seems like no one can tell me what to take, and it's becoming quite irritating. Ms Kreke could not give me a sure answer, WKU referred me to an advisor that said that wasn't his area of expertiese, and OCTC's Art teacher is trying to help but he even is a bit confused.

Macbeth

I think there should be more questions on the act quizzes. If you dont know a question on the quizzes you are pretty much up the creek without a paddle. I would assume there be twice as many questions, so then they would count for less. That could be the difference in a letter grade for some of us. Most of our grades are coming from vocab and Macbeth, and Macbeth is holding me back. I could explain a whole act to someone good enough for them to get the jist, but I may miss a detail or two.

Sleeping in school

Kids should be able to sleep in school if it does not affect their learning ability. If you can sleep through a lesson and still pass the class or do the work, then teachers shouldnt care. Sleeping also starts arguments. The kids will say they were listening and the teachers will say the kids were sleeping. Some times it's hard to get to sleep at night or something may have happened. Would it be better to skip school or rest during first period? Sleeping shouldn't be a concern.

Ways to say no

1. Not in a million years.
2. Maybe when hell freezes over.
3. Hit the road Jack.
4. I don't think so.
5. Uh, I gotta go.
6. I'm not going to do it.
7. Never.

Ways to say no without saying no.

Math

Sometimes I fell like the math teacher in my class. I think Mr. Wethington is a great teacher but some people do not understand him until he explains the homework already done. I can dumb things down pretty good. I can simply things pretty good. I usually help about six people everyday in math. I wish all teachers would make everything as simple as possible.

Camera

I'm thinking about getting a high dollar camera for graduation. For my bachelors degree I am going for general graphics. I think it would be neat to have a camera capable of high resolution that provides a crisp picture. I could then upload those pictures to my computer and take them an extra step farther and edit them. I think it would be neat.

Survival supplies

If I could take 5 things to help me survive I would take a machete, axe, pot, flint, and a medical kit. An axe would help me cut down larger trees that would help me build a sturdy shelter. The machete would be better for cutting through brush and smaller plants. The flint could be used with either the machete or axe to creat a fire. I could then cook food and boil water with the use of the fire and pot. A medical kit has lots of useful items that could be useful when you become sick. Some medicla kits even contain scissors, ducktape, and sting.

Nothing to say

What do you write about when you have nothing left to say. I've blogged about everything I think about on your average day. I guess I'll write about nothing. I need to have a vacation or something so I'll have something to talk about. I haven't left owensboro in a while, and there's nothing new in this town. I haven't seen a movie worth the mention lately. The car is at a stand still until my brother builds his shop, which should be any day. I dont know what to talk about, I have nothing more to say.

I hate you Blog

I just wrote a whole blog and it got erased
My work just got defaced
I should have ten plus
So irritating I could cuss
But I'll do it again and stop the fuss
So much for auto-save
if it was life then I'd be turnin in a grave
I dont even know what to say
This will be the last post of my day
Might be kind of short
but it erased my blod about Uk is my sport
All about the game and the court
But after this I wont be one short

Poem

I dont know what to write
So I'm just gonna write a poem if that's alright
I'm kinda bored sittin in class.
Do I want to work, naw I think Ill pass
After this I get to leave
Off to work, might pop an aleave
Might have spelled that wrong
But this isnt an essay it's more like a song
Might not be great
But this blog ups me from number eight

Winter

Winter is wonderful. Weather is cold in winter. Women wear furry boots and me wear work boots. I wish winter would work out for everyone. Dad hates working in the wet weather conditions. Waking up and looking at the white works wonders on your spitit.

School isn't so smart.

Education comes from learning and you can learn in school, but are schools really that smart? Viruses and diseases spread rapidly in public bodies. Sleep is a major role in health and most kids agree they would sleep longer if they did not have to go to school. School lunch is hardly nutritional. I would be willing to bet most kids pass up the green bananas and soy burgers. Instead they will drink their chocolate milk and eat their cookie. I have worked hard to get a 3.7 GPA, but does a 22 on the ACT reflect this work, I think not. Going green doesn't seem to be in school lately. I see lots of paper thrown away and for some reason the recycling bins don't seem to be available. School isn't as smart as one would think.

I shouldn't be Alive

I love nature and adrenaline. I watch the show " I shouldn't be Alive" almost every time I can and it amazes me. People give up on themselves to easily. When you lose yourself, you lose everything. I would like to see how long I could live off the land in any environment. Of course I would like to have a hiking bag full of what I believe are necessary for life. I would do it for free just for the experience. Surviving does not seem difficult to me, it never has. I have been camping, I've walked miles in the woods not having a clue where I was, I like fishing, and I'm in pretty good shape. The most difficult thing to do in my mind is to eat insects. Anything you can suggest contains calories but protein is necessary.

Getting in shape

It's hard to get in shape. I hate school day mornings, all I want to do is seep. I love breakfast but when I'm tired the only thing I want to eat are soft things. Donuts, muffins, pop-tarts, waffles, pancakes, non of those things are healthy. Some days I fell like working out and I'll do a few reps of push ups, around 200 bicycle crunches, go for a run, and then work with some weights. I feel great after my workout but then the next two or three days I'm sore. I rarely eat out because my mom cooks almost every night, but when I do then I usually just get a coke. I never drink cokes at home. Getting in shape is hard.

Ugly words

I ate some tuna and then I had to vomit. Dad heard me upchuck and it hit the toilet like diarrhea. He ran outside so he wouldn't see the gushy mess. looking at regurgitated food, I'd rather look at snot. The only thing grosser is the puss of a pimple. So many things sound sick to me, like body cavity and soupy.

Africa

I want to go to Africa, more specifically the Congo. The Congo is suppose to be the poorest place in the world. I would like to experience their lifestyle and show them mine. I have heard that a single multi-vitamin can cure children with malnutrion. It seems so odd to me that a country could be so untechnological. A few dollars in America wont get you anything but a few dollars in a place of poverty is much more. It would be a neat experience.

Absent

I hate being absent. While sometimes it may seem nice to stay home when you are feeling better, it sucks when you get back to school. Makeup work just screws with your plans. You have a week to make everything up, but lets face it, that is just another reason to procrastinate. Luckily this year I only have a first and second period, there is no make up work for Co-op. I have never liked missing school when I know it will get me behind, I'd much rather suffer through school and be caught up. I finally missed 3 days this week, due to a stomach virus. Luckily for me it was at the beginning of the semester and the workload wasn't as big.

Possibilities

The possiblities for the upcoming year are endless. Some things to look forward to are graduation, my project car, 19th birthday, and college. I just want to live life to it's fullest. I have always wanted to hiking/backpacking, so this year I'm hoping to finall go for an overnight trip. While my car will probably not be completed this year my goal is to have all the body work finished and have the body painted. I recently took my ACT test and receieved a 22, so now I am ready to get college going. I try not to keep a schedule, I just take life one step at a time. Therefore it's hard to say what exactly 2010 will bring.
