my 10 rules for living

1. Always try to do my best at anything I attempt.- I believe in this because if you don’t try what you attempt to do you will never have goals to set for yourself in life and you wont go anywhere.
2. Respect my parent even into their elderly stages of their life.- I believe in this because they are doing and will continue to do anything to make my life easier weather it be taking me somewhere or giving me something and letting me hang out with friends.
3. Keep my friends that I have and will gain when I get out of high school.- Because without my friends I would be very lonely and then when you get invited to a high school reunion or college reunion people probably wont remember you and your close friends will be mad at you for not staying in touch with them and not talking to them anymore.
4. Try to give the one lunch lady who looks like she did jail time a bad day because she always gets me in trouble for anything I do. Until I get out of high school then I will move on.- I believe in this because she always gets me in trouble for anything I do like if I give my friend a high five she sends me to the office or if I tap on the table when I’m eating not even hard she will get me suspended from the lunch room so I believe she is in a bad mood already why not make it funny.
5. Try to cook dinner once or twice for my family.- I believe in this because my parents are really good cooks and I have learned from them and they have taught me so actually they make me cook a meal for dinner or something usually on Fridays if I am home because I love cooking and I’m not that bad of a cook.
6. Try to do as best as I can in school.- I believe in this because my parents dropped out of college and didn’t get a real good education because they didn’t care back then so they are pressuring me and my older sister to do our best in school so we can get better jobs in the struggling economy.
7. Try to do something nice everyday for my mom- I believe in this because my mom is my hero and she is always there for me no matter what I do even if I mess up and she knows it she will protect me from my dad because we have a special bond between us and I hope that it will never go away even when we get older.
8. In the summer try to get decent family time in when my friends aren’t over.- Try to spend time with my family instead of never being home like I was the past summer and really never saw my parents or sister unless I was at home which was very rare and it made my parents a little upset because they wanted to see me.
Don’t criticize anyone because you could have done the exact same thing as them.-If you make fun of someone for being different or doing something dumb you really could have been the exact same way as that person and you could have done that same stupid thing but they just beat you to doing it
9. Don’t do anything to stupid that would lose my respect not only with my friends but with my family.- I don’t want to do something stupid that would make my family not look at me the same way they used to and ruin the trust that I had established with them all this time and then blow it in one stupid decision or choice.
The reason I chose these daily basic rules for living is because I believe in them 100 percent every rule I believe in maybe not 4 though. I especially believe in number 7 because my mom is the best and I love her to death she supports me in any of my choices and backs me up anytime my dad yells at me, we have a special bond that will be there for my life even when she is gone. All the other rules I find true because when I build up those skills they are not only good people skills but they are other confidence builders and that is what employers are looking for these days.

Kobe vs Lebron

People always talk about Kobe, but what about Lebron James what about all the accomplishments he has made with his career and he isn’t even close to retiring Lebron James is one of the most if not the best NBA player in the league today. Kobe had his time now it is time to step out of the spotlight and be done with it all, yeah he is good but he is getting old and he has too many injuries. Lebron is averaging almost 30 points a game as of late, on the other hand Kobe is averaging about 26 points per game. Lebron James had a very rough childhood growing up and he still made something of his life, he could dunk at the age of 5 on one of those kid basketball hoops when his grandparents put it on the highest height. Lebron has a long road ahead of him but he doesn’t know who it will be with, and the same goes for Kobe. They are both free agents along with Dewayne Wade and some people think if the Cavaliers don’t win the NBA championship this year that Lebron will not sign with the Cavaliers again. Many people would like to see all three stars on the same team but I don’t think that would happen, it would be amazing to see though. ESPN analysts have predicted that the next team Lebron would play for would be the New York Knicks. Lebron James isn’t as cocky as Kobe I think when he wins he doesn’t stay on the court like Kobe doing interviews he goes into the locker room after taking some questions and leaves. Lebron may be one of the respectable athletes in this decade at least. I like Lebron more than Kobe as you can tell. So thanks for listening.

Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day
Love has taught me a couple valuable things in the past 15 years; if you are dating The girl is always right no matter what so don’t try to argue it because you won’t win. I have also learned when to stop talking from my dad he always does something stupid and then makes it worse for him when he tries to make it better. I love my family and my friends because they both now how to cheer me up when I’m down, or have my back when get into it with someone. My family it’s a little different because I will be with them forever and I could tell them anything. Friends you really don’t know how long you will be together or stay friends at that point so you tell them somethings but not the really deep stuff that you share with your family. I also love sports I really don’t know what I would do without sports, their pretty much my life because I’m athletic in many ways and I play four sports, Football, wrestling, baseball, hockey I only play 3 of those for a actual team though. Football and wrestling are my life. I have loved and lost before about a year ago. I’m not really good at this “lovey dovey” stuff. A list of the things I love are, sports, friends/family, my phone, xbox360, i-pod, warm weather, really good thunderstorms in summer. The thing I hate about love is after awhile of dating and stuff I would imagine it would get difficult to stay to that one person you’re already going out with and there are a lot of fish in the sea so I think it maybe would get challenging. The other thing I hate about it is that if you actually like the girl and then she breaks your heart or something it would take a long time to recover like in the movies. So that’s my opinion about love and what it means to me personally I hope this helped you understand what I think about this holiday thanks for reading.

Year- 1997
Make-Dodge
Model- 1500 club cab
Mileage- 1,250
Cost- 4,494
Exterior- dark blue color gate on the front bumper it has a custom back windows.
I bought this car because my job I will need to be hauling around all of my tools and gear and I will need a lot of space to do that. The reason I was going after a truck because of the bed in the back of it so if I need to bring big things to work it won’t be a problem. It has a back seat with a seat belt and when I start making more money I plan to get a upgraded truck. It doesn’t have the best highway and city mileage but I wont be traveling that far and it could get me at least 3-4 days without putting gas into it.

That was then and this is now

Questions

How did Mark teach himself how to hotwire cars so young? Did he see someone else do it?
Was Charlie scared or mad about getting his draft notice? Did he think if he went into the war he would die?
Why did Bryon ask M&M if he had ever given him a bad deal then winked at Mark?
Did Charlie tell Bryon and Mark to be careful because he knew that the cowboys had a gun. And if he did know, why didn’t he tell them he did?
Why did Charlie risk his own life for Mark and Bryon and how did he know that they would be in the alley at that time?
Connections

Any time I go up to my cousin’s house in Texas I always shoot his shotgun.
When my dad was 21 he had a choice between jail or the army he chose the army while he was still in jail waiting to be shipped out to boot camp he got his draft notice but he was already going into the army so he didn’t really have a option anymore.

I have heard a lot of jail talk it is like a slang lingo like code for them to understand.

I have played pool a lot but I’m not the best but I like the game.

My older cousin’s friend wears any peace symbol he can get his hands on.

Vocab

Jack The Ripper- was a mass serial murderer in London.
Dirty Deal- A unfair deal or trade that only benefits one person.

Interesting
Dirty Dave was a ex-con man who didn’t want to be played and if he did watch out. This is interesting because if he was in jail he probably knew how to fight.
Mark was getting mad that Bryon was starting to change and Mark wasn’t. It’s important because over the time they might drift apart.
Bryon always let the other person win the first game then he would win all of the rest. So he made them think that he was really bad and then he would win.
Charlie cut a guy’s throat and didn’t get locked up for life. It’s interesting because if he murdered someone why didn’t he go to jail, usually I think you would be in jail for life.
That Charlie was willing to risk his own life to save Mark and Bryon even though he knew he could probably die. It’s important because it show’s them how much he cares about them.
