Ugly Words

The pungent smell of rotting meat was terrible when I opened the freezer. It seemed that the socket had busted and let the meat fester and decay. With no way to keep the meat cool, we were forced to vacate the premises or whiff the stench of smelly meat.

New Year

The new year has come at last to start a new beginning. Its a fresh start for everyone to choose the right path to follow. For me, I can undertake some activities that I wanted to do last year, this year. There are always things I want to get done that never seem to get finished in a year. That being said, I can look forward to pursuing some goals and dreams in this fresh new year and hope that I don't put them off until next year!

Superstitions

Well... what can I say? I can't help but believe in superstitions. Not only are they all around us, but they actually come true. There are many stories that deal with people ignoring traditions and superstitions only to be killed in a tragic accident or die a sudden death. I don't believe in coincidences that lead to people getting maimed or killed. There is something in the universe like a higher power or a divine spirit which controls these things. I don't intend to make it angry so I watch what I do and suggest people do the same.

2010

Well.....it was a great year. 2009 was full of numerous new adventures that happened as soon as I turned 18. It seemed to me that a certain freedom was attained just because of my age. I didn't feel any more mature than before, but I wasn't complaining. 2009 was the year of my first road trip, my first time that I could drive absolutely everywhere, and my first real freedom from home. If 2010 is anything like the prior year, then I think I'll be ok.

Religion

Sometimes, I wonder why you really can't talk about religion in schools. (Im sorry in advance if this is offensive Mrs. Matthews) I don't understand why we can't talk about different religions and have a conversation without people getting bent out of shape. If people would keep an open mind about religion, it would be a really cool thing to study or maybe write a comparison paper about. History classes would be far better if we could discuss different aspects of different cultures religions. Even though I understand why we can't talk about religion in schools, I still disagree with the reasons.

Life

Lately, my life has been taking some unexpected turns. Some were good while others were not so good. I feel like life is speeding by so fast that sometimes its hard to keep up with everything. Its hard to think that senior year is already half way over, and that next year I'll have to make it on my own in college. I just think about that and get overwhelmed a little. Thats the kinda thing that really takes you by surprise. Right now though, Im just going to take it one day at a time.

Christmas

Christmas time is a time that I have always cherished. Its a time that brings families closer together. If you dont get to see your father or brother or mother all of the time, you get a whole week to spend with them and bond. It also gives you a week or two to get away from everything. School problems, drama, and grades all disappear on christmas break. Its the best holiday of all for sure.
