iWicked to the pissath power

I am an athlete and a rebel
I wonder who will win the World Series this year
I hear my brother screaming
I see the Cubs winning the World Series (yeah right)
I want to go to Florida for spring break
I am an athlete and a rebel

I pretend the Yankees suck
I feel that you still need a half hour recess in middle school and even high school
I touch nothing in the Fenway Park restroom (especially the trough-urinal)
I worry that Manny Ramirez might leave when his contract is finished
I cried a lot when I was a baby for no reason
I am an athlete and a rebel

I understand what Bill Gates says he will do with his money when he dies
I say that tobbaco should be outlawed
I dreamed that I was flying once, then I hit a building and died
I try to finish my weekend homework on Friday
I hope that I will be rich some day
I am an athlete and a rebel

I worry about giant assignments
I don’t cry anymore
I am an athlete and a rebel

I understand most of the grades I get
I say that every kid has the right to argue with the teachers and complain to the principal for issues that are unfair instead of being a slave to stupid rules
I dream funny yet stupid dreams
I try to save my money
I hope that someday my dad will give a ton of money to the Jimmy Fund so I can talk to Curt Schilling and Manny Ramirez
I am an athlete and a rebel

P.S. I changed this a little so it would make more sense.

Different ways of getting away from or stopping bullies  depend on the type of bully that you are dealing with. If it is a “classic” bully, I would try to fight back. If it is a really fat and big bully, it wouldn’t be too hard. I could either run around and make him tired, run away, jump on his back and punch him in the temple (if he is hurting someone else especially), kick him in the back of of the knee cap to make him fall, or simply tell a teacher.

If someone is beating up my freind, I would not be able to hold back unless I knew he could and wanted to handle it. If my freind obviously can’t handle it, I will jump on the other guy’s back, pull up on his chin, and kick him in the back of the leg. After that I would bring it to a reasonable teacher who would understand, and try to get the bully suspended or hopefully expelled. If I ever see a freind or relative or being beaten up, I will definately do something right away.

 Psychological bullies are different. If and when one of them teases me or a freind, I am always tempted to whop him/her in the face or say a nasty insult back. But I can’t handle the terrible feeling that comes after it. The worst I’ve ever done is puch Min Tae and Allen. But they are my freinds and they are super big and super strong (especially Min Tae), and I only do it as a joke and they don’t care. If a really nasty psychological bully gets really bad about it, I will be forced to do something. I haven’t ever done anything like that yet, but I think that I will at one point. I hope that that person (I know who I might do that to at one point) will finally stop being such a self-centered jerk if I do that.

Some bullies just have problems and need someone to talk to. If I see someone beeing bullied, what I might do is talk to the bully. I’ll ask him what’s going on and if something is bothering him. I will try to make him feel better so he won’t beat anyone else up anymore. Many bullies have problems with their fathers. Either he physically abuses him, or he left when the boy was young. (4-8 years) I would hope to become his freind

There are different types of bullies. One is a “classic bully”, or someone who physically abuses others. Second is a psychological bully, a bully who teases, aggrivates, or just torments others. Some psychological bullies are a lot smarter than you and they tease you for academic inadequacy. *Others think that they are better than everyone else and say that whatever they have or do is cool and if someone else has nything different it is lame. (There are at least 3 of this type of bully in the sixth grade at my school, but I won’t point fingers.) Another type of psychological bully is someone who either does have a lot of money and tries to make you feel bad that you don’t have as much, or someone who doesn’t have much money but pretends to and lies about it. *One other bully is someone who gossips about you and publicly humiliates or embarrases you. (These types of bullies really get on my nerves, there is one in my class. *The last type of psychological bully just keeps laughing at you, making jokes about you, making you feel bad, and humiliating you all the time. 1 person in my grade at my school is three of these types of bullies I have listed put together. *The three types of bullies that this person is.

In computer class, Mr. Maiquez said, “Whoever can find out when was the Eiffel Tower’s opening date will get to choose whatever candy they want” (He said almost exactly that.) Min Tae was first and he chose a dark chocolate kit-kat bar. Kathy was the second one to find out and she got an Almond Joy. Soo Jin heard Kathy say “June 10,” and she later found something saying 1889 on her computer. So she put that together and was the third person to get it. My computer was too slow because the school bought linux servers insted of regular computers which can be really slow because they are all hooked up to one computer. If everybody in the room is using the internet, it will be really slow. I don’t know why, but even though the lower school has a computer room and all the computers are seperate, we have to deal with these. Plus, the lower school computer room has had the same computers since I was in kindergarten and these linux computers are relatively new. I wish we had Microsoft computers because they are much easier to use than the linux computers and the apple G3s in the lower school lab.

• Math class: In case you’re wondering why some of my classmates are doing one thing in math class and others are doing different things, that’s because some of us are in Honors Math and others are in Regular Math. I am in Honors Math and we are learing about stocks. We all have 10,000 fake dollars and we can “buy” any stock we want with our money. We also have checks to buy stocks with and a checkbook to balance our money. I have three really good stocks. They are Micron Technology, Agnico Eagle Mines, and Blockbuster. If I could change one thing about this project, I would give all of us more money in our checkbooks, more time to work on everything, and it would be nice if we could work on our stocks every school day. I forgot to mention that we are given one quarter (half a semister) to work with stocks. We only work with them on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The other days we have regular math calss and learn about pythagorean theorem and stuff like that. We can still balance our checkbooks and look up stocks whenever we want.

• In science we just took a mastery test on forces. One lesson in the chapter was about speed, velocity, momentum, and the three laws of motion. (I really don’t need or want to right a novel about everything we learned, so I won’t really explain everything.) One lesson was about gravity, gravitational pull, unbalanced forces, and balanced forces. The last chapter was about friction, overcoming friction, examples of how to overcome friction, and how friction can help us and be unhelpful. I didn’t like the fact that a group had to report on every lesson that we had because I never learn anything when fellow classmates are whispering while reporting, going to quickly, not explaining anything well enough, rushing to report, or practically reading to us instead of reporting. I only learn and understand the lesson when I go home and read it after reporting. Plus, we spend so much time and concentration on one lesson, so it can be harder to remember the others. I am much better off if my teacher teaches me instead.

• In English class, we are reading The Giver. I like to know what we are reading and what we will read so I can understand everything. I also like to know what’s going to happen in the future. For example, people in the community are realeased for 1 of 4 reasons. 1- Each age group is made up of 50 people, so if a birthmother has twins or triplets, only the heaviest one will stay and the lighter one or ones will be released. 2- When people get way to old and tired, they are released. 3- People are released for multiple yet pretty serious or even one very dangerous wrongdoing that could harm or endanger the others in the community. 4- If newchildren are too weak, cry too much, are hard for their caretakers to handle, or their bodies or minds develope slowly he/she will probably be released. Well, almost everyone in my class is wondering what happens to people when they are released, they say people might be given to another community, just left to die, kept in a special facility, etc. I already know what happens, because I read the whole book, unlike most of my classmates, and I won’t ruin the suspense by telling you. The Giver is about a utopian society where everyone is given a job in the community, food for every meal, and a house to live in. If you apply for a spouse, the commity will make a perfect match for you and if you apply for children, you will get one boy and one girl. You can apply at different times for a boy or a girl. Every year there is a ceremony where all the people in one age group advance to the next. It’s not their real birthday, some kids in the same age group are months older than others. These ceremonies stop after the ceremony of 12, when you receive your job. The main character, Jonas, is chosen to be the next Receiver. This is a very important job and there is only one Receiver in the community. The Receiver holds all the memories of true pain and suffering in the “world of the past”, which is exactly like our world today. Regular people know nothing of war, starvation, real suffering, and climate. People don’t even have weather, it just gets bright during the day, dark at night, cold during the winter, and warm during the summer. There really is no sun and even the children’s science class is very often incorrect. The Receiver is the most important member of the commity because he knows what can happen if certain rules are changed because he knows about true pain and suffering. Jonas is chosen to be the next “Receiver of Memory” as it is called, and this book is about how he goes through training. It’s a really good book and I advise you to read it in your spare time.

• In Social Studies or Social Science, whatever you want to call it, we are doing our second video podcast, or vodcast. Actually, for Ysabel, Andrew, Xiang, Brian, Kathy, Alvin, Phoebe and me, this is our third vodcast because of various reasons which I won’t go into at the moment. We just recently split our class into groups of 4 and we did a vodcast on the issue of Mexican immigration to the United States. We all had our own scripts and everything, even the outcome was known by the groupmates. We had to “decide” if the Mexicans should be aloud to enter the U.S. freely and without restrictions. Of course, even though we weren’t told to do so, every group ended with the people for the borders to stay winning. Two people where on one side and two people where on the other. Everyone wanted to be on the group wanting the border to stay, but we had to seperate. We just got into our groups for the up-coming vodcast. I don’t know what it is about. I don’t like doing vodcasts. I wish we could do a debate with half the class on one side and the other class on the other side like we did last school year (last year, we had the same social studies teacher.) because only our arguments were memorized and our rebuttals had to be thought up. I always got a much better grade with debates.

• In P.E. we have 4 different classes that are randomly split up with the entire middle school. I am learning about badminton this quarter with Ms. Carrera. The next half of the quarter it will rugby with the same teacher. In badminton, the class is split up into groups of two. One person is there for P.E. every day and the other is there only part of the time. I am in P.E. on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Monday and Wednesday I have Japanese lessons (optional). Badminto is really fun. Some teams like Kathy’s are super good. Kathy is pretty good, but her partner Roman (eighth grade) is an island-wide tennis champion, therefore, he is also very good at badminton. My group is pretty good. There is nothing much I would like to change.

If you want a little more information on anything, just leave a comment and I will reply. But for now, I don’t have much time to write a book.

In computer class, we are starting to have contests. Often they are just random questions that Mr. Maiquez asks us. He might say something like, “Whoever logs onto the dashboard of their blog first gets a peice of chocolate.” That was the first question he asked. I forgot who won. The second question he asked was, “What’s 12×7″. Almost everybody shot up their hand. I raised my hand right after he asked the question and did the math after I raised my hand. At first he said that too many people raised their hands at the same time. Then he said that I raised my hand first. During that long delay, I did the math and I got the chocolate. It was a peanut butter chocolate coin. Soo Jin also got one from something eslse and it was melted, so she gave it to me. I hope I win something else. I think Mr. Maiquez had some milk chocolate eggs as well.

This is my favorite candy, licorice allsorts. I used to only like the colored part and not the black, but now I think the whole thing is delicious. There’s a store called “Stanley’s Australian Wine” that I can walk to from my house and I always get Pascall’s Lcorice Allsorts. When we buy it, my brother and I share the colored ones. Jared (my brother) somtimes takes the black licorice off of the sweet stuff and gives it to me. I always get almost all the black licorice in the bag.

This is my favorite pet, a Jack Russel Terrier. Actually, this is my dog, Tuffy (my mom named him). I like him because he is so hyper. He never runs out of energy . Tuffy is weird because he loves ice cubes and oranges.

This is my favorite shoe, Converse All Star Low Top but mostly black. This is the shoe I wear right now, but I also have running shoes. I don’t really know why I like them, I just do.

 My favorite cartoon is The Simpsons. My favorite character is Bart because he always gets in trouble but he never learns his lesson. He just does whatever he wants to do. Sideshow Bob wants to kill him.

Today we changed our themes. For some reason, when you click presentation, there is only one category called themes. Why don’t they just right theme instead of presentation? To change your theme, go to presentation and choose any theme you want. You have to be careful, when you choose a theme because some of them are hard to use and don’t have a login button. some don’t have categories for your links. I chose the theme Devenir En Gris 1.5.20050308. This is good because it has a sign in button and it puts my links into categories.
