Food

Potatoes are such a wonderful discovery. I mean potatoes go with almost everything and there are so many ways you could cook potatoes and eat them too. There are mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. You could also cut them and bake them into homemade French fries. Homemade French fries are they best kind of fries out there. They are better than McDonald’s French fries or Arby’s French fries, just about any kind of French fries out there. There are so easy to make and so much less expensive. You could buy half the fries you could make for the same price. So in the long run you are making twice as many French fries as you bought at a local fast food place. Potatoes are just a wonderful discovery that anyone could ever have made.

            Now along with the wonderful discovery of potatoes, there is another amazing invention slash discovery. This discovery is called popcorn. Popcorn is also the one of the most amazing thing ever since life spread. You can do so much with popcorn. You can decorate a tree with popcorn. Sting them onto a string and then string the stringed popcorn on to the tree. It adds so much to the decoration of the tree. Then you can have movie theater popcorn or homemade popcorn. The best kind of homemade popcorn is air popped popcorn. You can also make caramel popcorn. Caramel popcorn is just amazing. Another kind of amazing popcorn is cheese popcorn. There is this kind of powder cheese that you can buy and put it on it. Cheese popcorn is a very yummy treat at movies.

            Another kind of amazing food is bananas. You can also do so much with bananas. You can make banana splits, banana cookies, banana bread and oh my so much more. I just can’t think of living life without bananas. Oh and one day my brother, Garry, told me that you can bite off a piece of the banana and in your mouth you can split it into 3 equal parts in your mouth. It is so much fun to do. I could eat bananas all day and do just that, split bananas into three parts. I found this poem that just about sums it up about bananas.

Then here is one about potatoes.

Potatoes, potatoes

So tasty, so small

Turn them into chips

And make them warm.

                                                             Potato

Potato. Potato, lovely and round,

You come out of the ground.

Peel off the rot, and put it in the pot.

Go to a seat, and get ready to eat.

If they are made precise,

They should be nice.

Meat

Meat is one of the food groups that you need. However, some people don’t like a lot of meat. For example I don’t like most of the meat that is out there in the world. I don’t like any kind of sea food so that clears up fish, sushi, shark, octopus, shrimp ect. Meat with a lot of fat on it is just gross. Why would you buy something that you would have to alter which in the end having only half of the food left to eat?

                I’m going to tell you a story about a time at school with their meat. So I used to be able to eat their meat without any problem. I even enjoyed eating it. Then one day I was eating lunch with one of my friends, Erin, and she said that she had a run in with the school’s meat. She said that she found something of a bone. Erin wasn’t quite sure but all she knew was that it was hard and pinkish white. Since then I started finding those in my meat. I have never eaten the school’s meat since then. Now she and I, mostly me, dissect the meat. We always find those mystery bone things in there every time. So we started to call the meat at school the mystery meat.

                Now done with the story I will now tell you guys why I don’t like a lot of meat. I don’t like chicken very much anymore because one time I found a huge bluish purple vein in the chicken. I bit into the chicken not knowing it was there. So I looked at the chicken to get another piece and that’s when I found that there was a vein sticking out of the chicken and that I had eaten a little bit of the vein. Now I only eat chicken after looking at each piece closely. But since that is very tiring to do, I rarely eat chicken anymore.

                I don’t like steak either. I don’t see why someone would spend a lot of money on a piece of meat and only eating a fourth of it. There is so much fat that is on there you spend more time getting the fat off than eating the meat. That and that I just simply don’t like steak is why I don’t eat it.

                I don’t like sausage very much either. It depends on the day if I will eat it or not. Sometimes I will eat just a little and other times I won’t even consider it. I think that sausage just tastes like rubber. It could bounce on the floor.

                I don’t like bacon a lot either. I know you are probably think what does she like. Well I will tell you later. Well bacon I don’t mind eating if it is cooked right. It has to be almost burn to be ok to eat, because I don’t like having all the fat on there and tasting it.

                The only kind of meat that I love is hamburger. I don’t know why but it just is the perfect kind of meat.

High school

High school is going to be a big change for me. I am excited and nervous for this change. Last week I went and talked to the counselors at Davis for my classes. However, first of all I was very lucky to be able to get to go to Davis. I am in Layton high’s boundaries, so I put in a variance. Some of my mom’s friends that work there told us that there was a lot of variances and that they were only taking a handful of variances. My mom and I got nervous that I would not be able to get in. The main reason that I wanted to get in was for their marching band there. Ok so a couple weeks later we got a letter in the mail that said that I was accepted into Davis High School. I was so happy that it wasn’t even funny. Well I guess it was. Back to the counselors, so with them I picked out my schedule and classes that I wanted.

One of the classes I picked was Chemistry honors. I am really nervous about this class. I do not do well with chemistry. My mom said that it will prepare me well for later science classes. My brother loves chemistry so he will be able to help me with the class. Although, next year if I need help with my other classes he won’t be able to help me, because, he will be on his mission.

My other class is AP world history. This is my class that is going to give me the most stress in my life.

Next I have English 10 Honors. I am not too worried about this class. I do pretty well in English, even though it is my least favorite class.

Then I have algebra 2 honors. I am not too worried about this class either. I do fairly well in here too. So if I have problems I have people that will be able to help me with it. I think that this will be a fun class.

Next I have band. This will be my best class because I will be able to play my sax and just have fun. I am though, not looking forward to all the tests that I will have to take. For instance the scales test and what not.

Then I have seminary. I think seminary will be another fun class and I will enjoy it a lot. I have enjoyed seminary this year in the 9^th grade, so I think I will like it next year. But we will just have to see.

Spanish 4, an interesting class. I have done ok with Spanish 3. However, I have always had the same teacher all three years that I have taken Spanish. So we will just have to see how it goes.

Then I had the health class for 10^th grade. I am looking forward to this class because they subjected it for what I want to go into.

I think that high school will be fun new experience. I can’t wait for it to be here.  

Stress is a huge thing in my life. I hate stress. It is unnecessary and it just makes your life miserable. This week has been particularly stressful. I have honors English to catch up with; I have a lot of unfinished homework. I have Spanish plays to perfect. It has just been a crazy week. My family has been sick these couple weeks so that just adds to the mess. Oh I just want all this to go away. I hate it when life has to be like this. But I guess since everything happens for a reason it just has to be this way.

                So Honors English, what a wonderful topic. I have been forgetting to read Great Expectations. So I am really behind on the book. Then I had to skip a church thing tonight in order to get this blog done. Since it takes me an hour, or so, to get the blog done. Most of the time is trying to figure out what I am going to write about. I am struggling each week with coming up with ideas and topics on which to write about. Then I get an idea in my head then it ends up not being what I thought it was, and being lost on what to write. Then I sit there trying to come up with ideas, and I feel like I am wasting time just sitting there.

                Then with all of my homework I still have to do. I have a whole bunch of math that I have barley started. Then I have Spanish lines to get down solid. Then I have been sick these past two weeks so I haven’t been able to practice my saxophone for band. So I have a bad grade in there right now. Then in science, that class is just stressful all by its self. He assigns a lot of homework and reading. Which I have no time for by the way.

Then I am doing classes online on EHS. I have a goal to be done with computer tec by middle of next month. But I have to do 5 assignments a week in order to meet that goal. Then while I’m doing computer tec I have to do fit for life online also. That class is going to be hard to find time to go exercise when I can’t even find time to read a book, let alone listen to a book.

 Can I just say that I want summer to come very quickly? Because once it does, I won’t have school to worry about. I will have my online classes done. All I have in the summer is marching band and work. I won’t have to worry about anything but having fun. Once summer is here then I will have a life again and have a fun life at that.

So as you can see I complain a lot when I am stressed out. I just want to get everything done at once and I end up not having any time to do those things, so I get stressed out and it’s just a big mess. I hope things get better soon…

weekend madness!

Ok so I know that this post is really late, and I’m sorry about that. I have had a crazy weekend. However, it was a very fun one. So on Friday I had some friends over to have a party and to show my house to them. I have wanted to have them over for some time but my brother had friends over whenever I wanted to have my friends over. So I had to keep waiting for a weekend when they could come over. Then when I had a weekend planned, no one could come so I had to put it off till the next week. Then finally on Friday I had them over.  It was a BLAST! I had about 6 friends come over so it was a full house. I had baked a pan full of brownies for that night, my mom had bought a 6 lb. bag of gummy bears, and she had bought 3 lts. of pop. The snacks where yummy and they were almost gone by the end of the night. Then Mallory Lunsford brought Despicable Me to watch. That was a funny movie, I love it. Then after the movie we played sardines. We turned off all of the lights and we picked two people to hid them we counted. We played this several rounds till we decided to play just hid and go seek. We played that for ages until everyone had to go back home. They came over for 4 hours of fun.

Then on Saturday I went dress shopping. I was invited to a quinsenyetta so I had to have a fancier dress than I had to wear. So we went everywhere and we couldn’t find one. So we went back home empty handed. Then later that night we had a family friend, who is an electrician, come over and put in the intercom system.  When they came over they finished the intercom system except for the main one. We still had the order in the mail and it hadn’t come yet. So they started on the security system. That took up the rest of the night and still has more to do.

Then on Sunday we went to church, came home, cleaned the house, and made dinner. We were having some family friends coming over to have dinner with us. So we worked and worked. They arrived and had dinner. My parents had to go to a meeting so we entertained them until they got back home. Then we played Just Dance 2 on the wii. That was really, really, really fun. I was on a roll and winning until I got tired and started losing everyone.  But oh well, it was really fun.

Then on Monday I got really desperate for a dress. So my sister took me to some more stores to find a dress. But every dress I tried on it was too short. Until I finially found one a Ross. I bought it and now I have a dress.

superheroes

Super heroes are everyone’s best friend. Every kid when they are young has a super hero that they just love. When I was young my super hero was spider man and batman. Those two heroes were and still are my favorite super heroes. I loved how superman could fly and had all of the powers he possessed. Then when it came to Spiderman, I l loved how he could climb walls and shoot webs out of his hands.


Spider man has been in comic books, movies just about everything. I typed in the word spiderman in to google and it came up with a whole bunch of random articles. I thought this one article was pretty cool. So I decided to share it. So here it is. The injury-prone Broadway musical


"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" has temporarily lost another cast member after the show's lead actress was hurt performing an onstage battle scene, according to a spokesman.


T.V. Carpio, who plays Arachne, will be out for two weeks, according to Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show. Miramontez said Carpio was injured March 16 while performing the scene with another actor. The spokesman did not say specifically how the cast member was injured.”


I thought that was pretty interesting. So I continued looking for more random articles about these awesome superheroes. Here is another article.


“In the thriller "Spider-Man" (hitting theaters on May 3), actress Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) arrives in New York, eager to make it to the top. But dangling from the Queensboro Bridge, clad only in pink Cosabella PJs, wasn't exactly what she had in mind. Luckily, buff Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) swoops in for the rescue.


"But Mary Jane is much tougher than the old damsel in distress," says Lisa Tomczeszyn, associate costume designer. "She's smart and strong-spirited." Although the former teen queen trades in high school combat boots for sleek Manolo Blahniks, Mary Jane's adult emotions are a tangled web. She's smitten with Spider-Man, but will she ever notice shy Peter Parker (the heroic arachnid, incognito), who has secretly loved her since grade school?”






“If "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" can rise above devastating reviews and headline-grabbing injuries, much of the credit will go to director Philip William McKinley.


McKinley was hired four months ago to salvage the troubled show, which officially opens Tuesday evening.


"Well, they say I'm either the bravest or stupidest man in New York," McKinley said.


As stuntmen flew overhead before an afternoon matinee preview, McKinley says he took the job in large part because of the commitment of the show's team.”

“The summer movie season gets off to a literally swinging start with "Spider-Man." Not since 1978's "Superman" has there been a live-action, comic book-based film so savvy at mixing self-aware camp with sincere emotion, and so successful at establishing the normal guy life of its spandexed protagonist. "Spider-Man"'s web loses tension, though, later on when its hooded hero concentrates on battling evil, becoming another bombastic, special-effects-laden spectacle”


Can I just say that Spiderman is my favorite superhero ever? He even better than my other favorite superhero, batman.

Super Bowl 46 2012

So the 46^th Super Bowl was today and we were talking as a family on how much money, time, energy, and everything else spent on this one football game. It’s insane. People go all out for this game. They will buy shirts, hats, hands, jerseys, sweats; you name it they probably bought it. They will paint their faces the color of the team to show how much they love them. They will buy all of this food to eat for the game.

Sure my family watches the game but we are not insane about it. We pick a team to root for, but we don’t jump up and down screaming about the game. We just sit and talk as a family and hardly watch it. I don’t know how people could be that devoted to a football game. There are more important things than a football game in life. For my family, the game is a time to be together as a family and have fun. We don’t treat this game as a life or death situation.

For the half time show, they went all out. They had dancers and lights everywhere, singers, and so many things that I don’t even know where to start. They spend so much money for about 30 minutes in one day of amusement and entertainment. They should spend all that money on something that is worthwhile.

My favorite part about the super bowl is the commercials. I just love to watch them. They are probably better than the game it’s self. They desperately want you to buy their product, that it’s not even funny how bad it is. They try so hard, but in the long run all they do is give you a great conversation starter. Like, “hey did you see that Doritos commercial with the baby?”  See a great conversation starter when you don’t have anything to talk about. Personally that is my favorite part of the whole day. Not watching the game but watching the commercials that come with the game.

·         So I looked up some facts that go with the Super Bowl. The stadium is called the Lucas Oil stadium and can hold about 70,000 people.

·          It’s the second most watched sports event in the world.

·         One 30-second super bowl commercial costs about 2,800,000 dollars.

·          The Super Bowl trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

·          8 million pounds of guacamole is consumed on Super Bowl day.

·         14,500 tons of chips are eaten along with that guacamole.

·         35% of people who attend the game write it off as a corporate expense.

·         The average number of people at a super bowl party is 17.

·         Budweiser has been the exclusive Super Bowl beer advertiser for the past 13 years.

As you can see the Super Bowl is a big thing for some people and for others it’s just another day. The Super bowl is expensive and time consuming. But hey that’s the world for ya.
