100 word story

Once upon a time, a very young boy went to a football game with his tall father. They sat in seats close to the 50-yard line. Jimmy wanted to go get some food because he was extremely hungry; so the kid wandered through the Heinz field concession stands. Bob started looking around. The man walked everywhere, yet couldn’t find the 4 year old. The two ran In the same direction, therefore, it would be unlikely for one to find the other in the big mess of people trying as bad as the toddler to get where he wanted. Sadly, he was gone forever…

button description

Many years ago, I was part of a young boy’s sailor costume. He was at the beach one day, and he tore his costume off to go swimming. I fell into the ocean, and was left there for many years to erode down to the size of a smooth cracker. One family found me at a different beach many years later, and a man used me for his suit jacket. His boss didn’t like the anchor on me, so I had to be sold at a garage sale.
One man liked my color, which was that of coal, or as far as they had seen, charcoal. He also liked how I was smooth, so he too used me for his suit jacket. Where he worked wasn’t so formal, and his boss liked the anchor on me, so he wanted to get my brothers to use for his suit. When he dropped me on his wooden desk one day, I made a sort of high-pitched “clank”. He picked me up and felt me… I was made of plastic, and was as hard as anything plastic could be…

4 character story

Once, there was a boy that went to Baltimore High School. He was taller than most of the people there, but he was also fat for his height. Most people assumed he was smart, but he mostly cheated. He was James; a tall, fat, cheating tenth grader. James was a nice person, but he was an easy target for bullying, and he was weak, so some abusive bullies bullied him. They teased him and some days hit him for insulting back.
James was fed up with being bullied and picked on about his weight, so he got a job and hired a personal trainer. He ran for 2 hours a day, and lifted weights a little. After 2 months of training, he wasn’t fat anymore and was already tall so he was no longer a target for bullying. He still cheated, but people didn’t catch on and just thought he was a good student.
James had played baseball when he was younger, but had gained too much weight to play again for a while. He thought that he had lost a lot of weight, but could lose more. So James hired a personal trainer again, after getting a second job. His exercising was going well, but he fainted shortly after beginning again, and had to go to the hospital.
Doctors found that there was a hole in James’ heart, and it couldn’t pump enough blood fast enough, so he fainted. After waking up, and feeling a bit lightheaded, but okay, he thought about getting back to training. When the doctor came in, though, he was not happy anymore. Doctors said he could die if his heart wasn’t fixed, and probably couldn’t play baseball even if it was. The famous Mets catcher had heard about James, and came to visit him in the hospital.
James was happy for a little while, but all of the ways to fix his heart were extremely dangerous, so he just stayed in the hospital. By a year’s time, he was most likely going to die eventually, until a Nobel Prize winning doctor thought of a new low-risk surgery that could fix James’ heart well enough for him to play a sport like baseball again. In 2 months of recovering, he was ready to play baseball and James lived happily ever after

weekend

i cant wait till the weekend...mostly for football though. the sixers are having a horrible start, so i can at least watch penn state probably win and the eagles play a big game against the giants. it doesnt feel like a friday, where it takes too long to go through the day, so im not too anxious...

election

im glad obama won...after i heard about the bradley effect and his lead in the polls shrink i was doubtful, but i went to bed and msnbc had him far in the lead. it seemed like he really took control of the northeast and west coast. it was a really historical night... it could be a very long time before another black president is elected so..

The election

the election is tomorrow! i'm sort of glad because my mom is making a lot of good food but not so glad cuz she is really hype about the election and is going to be screaming a lot so... im pretty sure obama is going to win, but it could go either way....

fav halloween mem

my favorite h'ween mem is last year, cuz i got so much candy, a lot more than normal =)

Phillies!

it was a great game last night, and it was a satisfying way to win the world series. all of the games reflected how close it was (except the 10-2 one). it would've been nice to see the Phillies keep the lead for cole hamels, but he got mvp so... i think tampas manager was right...people might complain if the rays lost in the second half, or be happy if they won, too bad i dont know how they feel but the one and two run games show how evenly matched they are, the fact they wonshows that the phillies are the best though.

spring is a grassy hill all to yourself

fall is brown, orange, red, and yellow

spring is refreshing rain and green leaves

stream of consciousness

One day, there was a poor man named bob. He spent all of his money on food, so he was thinking of what to do. Bob decided that he would rob a bank for money. When he was there, someone tried to take a picture of him, so he smashed up their phone and they had an anxiety attack. He wasn’t a bad person, and felt guilt. Someone called 9-1-1 so he ran away.
Bob had gotten plenty of money and could have gotten away for the time being. He would’ve left if he didn’t feel bad about what he had done. Bob earned a lesson and decided to turn in the money and himself to the police, though he would be in big trouble for his petty crime. That was the only way his brain would allow him to live with almost murdering someone.

random post thing

i dont know what to write about...i didnt watch the phillies past the third inning, im cold and i wanna go back to bed...glad i have creative writing in the morning because hisclassroom is usually warm and not boring like my other classes...its almost the weekend, but i wont enjoy it much because of my stupid castle project...

"Thinking outside the box"

well, i think of thinking outside of the box as thinking out of the ordinary, outside of what is expected, or making someone think like this so that they understand something from a new light.

Almost winter??

its freezing cold outside, which I expected,along with frost everywhere. as long as im not unbearably cold, which i am, it looks nice outside. the white everywhere almost reminds me of snow, which i love seeing even more. when i stepped i it, i expected it to make a crunch, because there was so much, but disappointingly, there was none =(. it seemed like the cold went right through me, i hated it. no matter how many clothes i wore, i still felt it. even in school, it seemed even colder than outside. the only thing good about cold to me is the feeling of being warm again finally.

A foggy autumn morning

Its a foggy morning, as you can see from the pic, and i think this represents that it's a nice foggy morning, it feels nice out, you can sort of see, its not that bad. i was glad to not have worn my jacket and it be still nice outside, but it looked like it might have rained too... for some reason, i like fog...fog and rain. they seem relaxing to me for some reason....

My favorite resteraunt

Well, my favorite restaurant would probably be Candida's, and the menu there is pretty plain. it is brown, there are sections for different kinds of food with pretty nice pictures. it is a long menu also, and there are quite a few sections. theres orange, brown and blue. those are the main things i remember about it.

Phillies!

the phillies have definitely been the biggst thing on my mind lately, considering their success so far getting to the nlcs. im definitely watching their game tomrrow, but sadly theyre underdogs to the dodgers. hopefully they can make it to the world series!

Success!

I think of success as achieving a goal....any goal. Maybe your goal, or a friend's goal, or any goal set for you (or anyone else). what does it take to achieve it? i think one's absolute best, hardest work, best try, etc. What will it take for me to be successful? I think for me to be successful, i have to try. as long as I'm trying, i think i can be successful; it's usually when i start to not care that i get non-successful.

Rainy Day

Its rainy.....but at least its Friday, and as long as school is done for the week...i like the rain. as long as i'm n a good mood, i like the rain. sometimes it can make a bad mood worse; but sometimes it is calming if i'm in a good mood. besides...its not even raining much (if at all). the sound of rain on a roof is calming when i'm trying to go to sleep usually....so i almost always love the rain.

yay its fall!

i like this part of fall, it looks so nice outside when leaves fall, but that and the okay weather is all i like about fall. the bad part is that most of fall is cold, which i hate; also the su sets earlier, which means less time outside =(. but for now, fall is pretty nice

sleepy....plus comment!

yeah so im rlly tired...and i went to bed normal; and it doesnt help being friday so i rlly wanna go to sleep.....also if you look at my blog u have to comment =P

Cree name story for creative writing

~Sleeps in snow~
There once was a boy that lived several years without seeing snow. The first time he saw snow was when he moved from the south to where it’s very cold. He saw snow and wondered what that beautiful white stuff could be. He tried running in it, but fell and got stuck. He tried eating it, and found curiously that it tasted just like water. The mysterious white hard water intrigued him so much that he spent 3 days playing in, eating, and even sleeping in the snow.
People in their small village passed the home where the small boy played and slept in the snow, and wondered why the snow that they found plain, cold, and even irritating, made the boy happy for days on end. And so people came to see the boy sleep and lay in the snow (as they believed the former to be a exaggeration) and over time the snow melted as the days of spring came. The boy became saddened as the snow melted and went inside to reminisce his days of endless bliss and dreams of the heavenly white water-like stuff that he learned to be snow. He learned a lot more about it, and the next year, when it snowed again, he knew everything the village people could tell him about what it was and where it came from.
So every winter, when it snowed as it had the year they had came, the boy came outside to play and sleep in the snow all day and all night, and rarely went inside as he knew that it would be gone before he knew it. And over the years people that lived and were born In the village knew about the man sleeps-in-snow (and it was quite strange looking considering how much older he was).
