The house was made of... wobbly old wood that looked 100 years old as we came upon this house we knew something was weird about it. it was really old fashion and there was a wagon in front of the house. as we walked closer to the house the only light we had was the twinkle of the stars. we got to the house and looked in the window but couldn't see much so we decided to go to the back, as we got to the side of the house i saw a tombstone and went up to read it. I had to squint because it was so dark out but it read "r.i.p gabby" this kind of freaked me out but we continued to go around the house. as we got to the back of the house we noticed that there was a broken window in the back so we crawled through it. when we got in the house it was very dark and scary. we kept hearing noises and getting scared but we kept going. we searched the whole house it had obviously been sitting empty for a long time. so we unlocked the front door and walked out talking about how cool that just was.

Sonnet

should we go outside its nice out today.
we can go to the beach and relax today.
the weather is so nice no clouds in sight.
a perfect summers day get out and play.
the sun is bright and hot it feels so nice.
after a long winter the warmth is here.
the sounds, smells and sights of summer are here.
hanging out with friends nothing to worry about.
just the fresh air and the rest of the summer.
don't want it to end everything is perfect.
but all good things come to an end I guess.
summer vacation theres nothing better.

If I could invite three people to eat dinner with it would be mac miller, wiz khalifa and Pauly D. The reason I would pick these people is because mac and wiz is pretty much all i listen to and they each have their own little show where they video tape their lives and I've watched most of them and they always have fun or do crazy stuff in them. Also Pauly D is mad funny so I think it would be fun to sit down and talk with him about jersey shore and anything else that comes up. Those three people make me laugh and inspire me. I feel like mac miller would be the easiest to relate to because he just turned 19 so hes about the same age as me but makes great music and is becoming more and more popular. They all seem to just have fun in life and make the best out of it which is what I like to do so I think we would have some interesting conversations.

I remember one time when I as a young kid me and my cousin were running around his house chasing each other. my cousin is about 5 years older than me so he was faster so I struggled to run away from him. Our parents were out shopping and his dad was sleeping so we were just running around the house by ourselves. after about 5 minutes of fooling around I ran around their kitchen and into the living room while he was chasing me and as I got close to the living room I was running as fast as I could and I ended up tripping which would of been fine but there was a coffee table in the middle of their living room and I fell so fast that I didn't have time to catch myself and ended up hitting the side of my head right on my temple on the corner of the coffee table and falling to the ground. the next thing I remember is my cousin freaking out and telling me that I was bleeding. I couldn't really feel anything because I was still in shock. at first we thought it wasn't a very big deal and we were going to clean it up and put a band aid on it but then he took a closer look and went and woke up his dad. he came out and saw the blood on his carpet right away and freaked out as I layed on the couch bleeding from the side of my head. when he calmed down he took a look at it and called my mom while he was on the phone I heard him say that i would probably need stitches and I instantly started crying because I had never gotten stitches but i heard they hurt really bad. after that we put some towels and stuff on my head until my mom got home and took me to the hospital. the first hospital we went to said they wouldn't stitch it up because there was to big of a risk of it not working so we had to go to a different hospital in St. Paul and i finally got it all stitched up around 2 in the morning and it happened at around 3pm so i had a hole in my head for a long time. I remember going to the doctor and they gave me a book to read while they put in the stitches and I got a Popsicle after so it turned out to be all good but i was so scared to actually get the stitches.

The one thing I am most excited for is graduating and having the whole summer to chill with my friends and have the best times of our lives. I am also excited to turn 18 because all of my other friends are already 18 so I miss out on a lot of fun things that they do. I still have about a little over a month till my birthday so I have been counting the days. This summer is going to be the best summer of my life no matter what. I'm going to have as much fun as possible with all my friends before we all go off to college. I plan to work a lot in the summer so I have enough money to go out and do something everyday and not worry about the money. We go to the beach a lot in the summer and just hang out and play Frisbee which is one of my favorite things to do. I'll still be playing a lot of baseball so I expect my summer to be full of fun, work, and baseball which is just how I want it.

alliteration poem

the small slippery snake slid down the hill.
he squirmed slithered and scurried.
he was dangerous distressed and determined to kill.
if you see the small snake you should be worried.

sense of time poem

June
green, white, purple, blue, orange and yellow
The colors of green grass, the beach, flowers, birds, and sunshine
It feels like happiness

Sounds like birds singing
Smells like food on the grill

Tastes like ice cream
It feels like happiness

Earliest Childhood Memory

The first thing that I can remember from my childhood was going to Disney world with me my mom my aunt and my cousin. I remember I was so excited before the trip cause I had never been to Disney world and I knew how fun it was. we stayed in one of the Disney themed hotels so I got the full experience. When we were there we went to all the theme parks and water parks. Me and my cousin were about the same age so we had a blast together while our parents would do their own thing. it was one of the most fun weeks of my life when I was a young kid I will always remember the trip and how happy it made me.

The one thing I'm most excited for right now is spring break and the start of the 2011 baseball season. the reason I am so excited about this is because it will be my senior year on the team and our team looks really good this year. we are also going to Florida as a team for spring training over spring break which is always fun. I went last year and had a blast on the beach in Florida playing baseball with my teammates and screwing around in the nice Florida weather. I'm also excited to see what new roles people will bring to the team this year. the team will be made up of mostly seniors but there will be a few juniors that will get to start so I'm excited to see what they can bring to the team. as a senior I've already been through the program for four years so I know exactly what to expect and how to act. last year was my first year on the varsity team so I was still learning a lot of new things about how the team works but this year I feel a lot more comfortable and I'm ready to just concentrate on playing good baseball and contributing to the team as much as possible.

song lyrics

1. I chose this song because it has a good beat and a sick drum breakdown, its important because it puts me in a good mood.
2. The story is he saw someone do something bad and someone that lied to him that he wont forget
3. I don't know the structure.
4. this is a deep touching song that can get you pumped up or just chill.
5. the message is that he knows what someone did and he wont forgive them.
6. the intention is to maybe get back at the person or release some anger on what the person did to him.

 I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm… I quickly get up because I'm worried I try to breathe but it hurts to much, I look around and have no idea where I am. All I feel is cold and pain, my pockets are empty, I have nothing. But i know i have to get up and find someone to help me so i use all of my remaining strength to get up and walk around the corner of a building where i see normal everyday people walking the streets of downtown. I still do not know what city I'm in so I go up to the closest person and ask them, and they respond with new york. Now I am even more terrified because I am so far away from home. I find a pay phone and get some change from a stranger and call my parents. they had been looking for me for days and were so happy to hear my voice, they got on a plane as soon as they could to come get me.

metaphor poem

Just when you thought

that winter

would be here forever

that it could never end

you saw

a tiny tip of green

first blade of grass

a sign of spring

My Best Friend

Me and my best friend do the craziest things together. we go way back to 7th grade we got into a fight and have been best friends ever since. even though we don't go to school with each other anymore he is the one person who I hang out with most and have the most fun with. we have so much in common and always come up with the weirdest ideas. on Sunday I called him and asked him if he just wanted to walk somewhere cause it was nice out, so we met up and ended up going on a 5 mile walk down by the river bottoms and had a great time. we know we have each others backs and know everything about each other. there is no one else who understands the level of friendship that we have.

Out of the dark we came, into the… dark dangerous looking cave that reeked as if someone had died in there. As we continued on through the cave we saw all kinds of animals and other interesting things. We wanted to be adventurous so we kept going deeper and deeper into the cave until suddenly we heard a squeal, we had no idea what could of made the noise but we were all instantly terrified. So we quickly turned the other way and ran out of the cave. as we got to the opening of the cave we heard the crafty playing of a trumpet off in the distance so we knew there were people nearby. We decided to go in the direction of the trumpet playing and see what we could find.

A change of rules

ode to baseball

baseball is just a game.
yet it means so much to me.
all winter I wait until spring.
to get outside and throw the ball around.
I go out to practice after a long day of school.
and suddenly everything is fine.
joking around with my teammates and having a great time.
preparing for the games in the upcoming week.
there is nothing like baseball that makes me feel so much joy.

10 years from now

Today I woke up at 6am on Wednesday February 9 2021. just like every other day I get up make myself some food and head off to work in my brand new convertible lambo. when I get to work as a professional sports agent I call some of my clients to get some things straightened out and handle some business. after a short day at work I go back to my mansion in the hills of Hollywood with my wonderful family. I call up some friends and we go out to eat at a nice bar and watch the game. after a long day of running around and having fun I make my way back home to relax with my model wife and go to sleep to do it all over again.

most embarrassing moment

My most embarrassing moment would be in 4th grade when I was getting on the bus to go home after a long day of elementary school and I was carrying a project I had just finished so my hands were full and as I was on my way to the back of the bus to find a seat one of my friends pantsed me and i couldn't do anything about it cause I had my hands full so everyone pointed and laughed at me and I'm pretty sure I was close to crying. The end

some random stuff

You are walking down the street and out runs a zebra, you hear a roar and then out strolls a lion. It turns and looks your way… I stood there and watched the lion slowly sneak up on the zebra. The lion look real hungry and fiending for food so I knew he would attack at any second. Just as I thought the lion pounced and chased the zebra down and got it by the back leg. All of a sudden the lion seemed to not want the zebra anymore and turned back towards me. I was instantly terrified and began to run. I ran as fast as I ever have before to get away from the beast. It was gaining on me I couldn't out run the lightning fast speed of the lion. After about a minute of running it caught up to me and pounced just like it did on the zebra I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I knew it had gotten me. Just as I fell to the ground I woke up from a horrible nightmare sweating profusely. The end

thank you note

I would like to thank my mom for always being there for me and supporting me with everything I do. I know I'm not the best son and I get in trouble sometimes but she realizes most of the time. she does everything she can to make me happy and to make sure I'm safe. I don't knoww what I would do without my mom she amazes me everyday with her kindness and compassion. she is the one person in this world who I am closest to. sometimes I get mad at her when she tells me to do things but its just because I'm a teenager and I don't understand.

Best place in the world

To me, the most peacefully, best place in the world is Park City Utah. I just recently came back from a weekend trip to Park City about 2 weeks ago and I had a great time. We stayed at the Sundial Lodge which was a very nice hotel right one the mountain about 100 yards from the nearest lift. I went with the school so I was with some of my closest friends in paradise which made it even better. We didn’t know what to expect because our previous trips have been fun but nothing could compare to our accommodations this year. Our hotel room had 2 king size beds, a balcony, flat screen TV, full kitchen with dishwasher and a washer and dryer for our clothes. It was everything we needed and more, along with everything that our rooms had to offer the hotel itself had a lot of fun activities for when we weren’t on the hill. There was an outdoor heated pool, 2 hot tubs with one on the roof and plenty of other fun things to do. During the day we would ride the mountain and have a great time and around 4 when the lifts would close we would all come back meet up talk about our days and plan what we were going to do that night. One night we went into town and looked at all the shops and places to eat. at night it was just me and 3 of my best friends in our hotel room having the times of our lives. I will never forget this trip and the people that I enjoyed it with I hope we can all plan a trip like that next year because it is definitely worth it.
