Christmas Stuff

I love everything Christmasy . I love the presents , the food, and the people I get to see. My family really doesn't have any special traditions, but this year we will be having Rocco's lasagna that I am greatly looking forward to. We probably will not make a hbait out of the lasagna , which makes it even cooler because it is more special. Also this is the first year I have asked for anything since I was like six and I am pumped to open gifts. The only bad part about getting presents is that I have no source of income, therefore I can not afford to buy presents for all my friends and family.

Christmas

There are very few negatives to Christmas. In fact the negatives that do exist are very minor and I don't mind dealing with them. The first being the cold weather. I am not a big fan of the cold but I can tolerate it. Hey, cold weather equals snow days and you can't be upset with that. The other thing that bothers me is how much of a commercial holiday Christmas has become but once again I deal with it because Christmas times means seeing family, playing basketball, and getting new stuff to mess with.

school lunch

The lines are too long, the serving sizes are inadequate, and the quality is poor. I have absolutely no form of praise for our pathetic excuse of a lunch. Everything is low- fat or sugar free which is completely ridiculous. Although obesity rates are high in West Virginia all the students aren't obese, therefore you can't regulate an entire lunch for a few fatties. The school policy for portion control is in desperate need of revision.

Improvement

Spring Valley High School is in desperate need of help. The computer labs are overbooked and the computers malfunction constantly. Also students are required to be at school far longer than need be. Some students have periods where they don't even have a class or are taking courses irrelevant to their needs. School hours should vary based on students needs and progression levels. Basically, I really just want high school to be more like college. Teachers are also a problem due to the lack of. Some of my previous classes, as well as current, are far to crowded.

The Man

Stan Lee, thank you for bringing Spiderman into this world. You sir are a true HERO.

Favorite Cartoon

My favorite cartoon is undoubtedly Spiderman. I own the first two seasons of Spiderman on dvd and I watch them constantly. The messages behind the episodes and the thought process used to develop the characters and their stories are incredible. They don't get enough credit from people. Spiderman is the greatest cartoon ever created. I mean look at what all has come from it: movies, clothes, costumes, toys, etc. It is a timeless show that should be treasured by all generations passed and to come.

Thanksgiving Break

During Thanksgiving break I will have basketball practice every morning at 9 a.m. After each practice I will probably come home and crash on the couch from exhaustion. Once recovered from the morning activities, I will be signing online to continue my reign as the greatest COD Modern Warfare 2 player ever. Thanksgiving day should be glorious because I think it is the only day I don't have a 9 a.m. practice.

Progress

Currently my partner and I have completed the front page of our game and a few scenes. Our gorilla looks good, due to it being copy and pasted from the internet. Our game is still very much a work in progress but I believe it is coming along nicely. I am a bit upset, however, that the Waffle House game is far superior in design to any other game I have scene.

Afghanistan

I am not up to date with the current situation, but I am pretty sure something needs to be done. Either send more troops and attack full force to end the Taliban's reign, or pull out to save American soldier's. So the effort was not in vain, I would like to see something more come out of Afghanistan than lost lives and destruction.

Game Progress

Our game is making slow but steady progress. So far we have completed a few drawings of the forest and our gorilla. The gorilla we got off the internet because it was to difficult to design in flash. We have big plans for our game and its design that we will put into action in the near future. Working with my partner is going well because we get along and cooperate well. We express our ideas freely, which allows for a friendlier, more effective work environment.

favorite toy

I enjoyed a variety of toys as a child. I loved legos, all sorts of balls, and N64, but my favorite toy would have to be my toy holster. I dressed up a lot as a child, like James Bond or a Green Beret. The toy holster was crucial to bringing the character to life because it allowed me to holster my weapon. I spent countless hours playing with it, and I wish I still had it in my possession. Unfortunately, it was broken by my older sister when I was like six I believe.

I love food

I love all different types of food. I am really not picky, considering I'll eat just about anything. My favorite type of food would have to be Italian. I am a big fan of Olive garden and Rocco's, especially after watching Good Fellas or Casino. I also enjoy a good juevos francheros, which is a traditional Mexican dish that my Grandmother used to fix for my father. He now prepares it for my mother and myself and it is wonderful.

game education

I hope people learn that the rain forest is being raped for its resources. Trees and vegetation are destroyed with complete disregard for the wildlife and the future. By playing the role of a gorilla, you will get to see the destruction first hand and the consequences it brings. Hopefully our game will give people an eye opening experience, or at least make people aware of what is happening.

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee was one of the most amazing people to grace the Earth. He developed his own fighting style, wrote multiple books, and created and starred in his on movies. He was a philosopher that could take the most complex problems and give single sentence answers. He trained the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabar and Bob Wall. He has a newly developed amusement park in China in honor of him and is considered a legend and a hero to the Chinese people. His death shook the world and was an awful day in history.

epic success

The paper prototype was a hundred percent epic success. My team developed a well thought out game with insane slides that were perfect. The game is both educational and fun teaching gamers about the destruction of the rain forest, but at the same time allowing you to use a banana cannon to eliminate the forces threatening your habitat.

Finding Forrester

My favorite movie would have to be Finding Forrester. It was one of Sean Connery's early movies. It is the story of a young, African teenager who lives in the Bronx. He finds help with his struggles by finding Forrester, who is Sean Connery. He is also a basketball star as well as a young scholar. The movie is a classic and I recommend that everyone see it.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

My favorite television show is most definitely It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is the funniest, most entertaining program on television easily. The plots of the episodes, week in and week out, are so ridiculous and creative you can't not watch. The gang is always trying to think of clever ideas to entertain themselves or get rich quick. Not one their ideas have ever turned out good or had a positive affect on anyone.

progression

I believe I have made progression the likes of which have never been seen before in Game Design. I actually did very good on the playing to learn because I wanted to get a good grade. My fellow classmates set the bar pretty high on the assignment forcing me to step my game up. The choosing a topic took forever considering I did it twice, but I put good effort into it both times. The Mini -Game project was more enjoyable than the choosing a topic but I still put good effort into it.

Favorite video games

My favorite video game of all time would have to be Fallout 3. It is by far the greatest game I have ever played. It is a survival/rpg game where you are a survivor after a nuclear fallout. You live in vault 101 and are forced to leave the safety of its walls in search of your father. The game had great add ons and has tons of different endings possible. There is a huge array of weapons and power armor and you can even acquire followers to assist you in your travels.

My favorite holiday

My favorite holiday is Independence Day. I am very proud to say that we defeated the evil alien scum that threatened the survival of mankind. They placed giant alien space crafts all over major cities across the globe and blew up the White House. With the help of Will Smith and some crazy scientist, everyone banded together and destroyed the alien threat. It was like a giant chess game and the Earth was the victor.

3 wishes

If I had three wishes my first would be to bring Bruce Lee back from the dead. I would live and train with him. Second I would wish to meet my Grandmother who passed away long before I was born. I think she is the missing key to my father's side of the family. Third and final wish would be a whopper. Not the delicious sandwich, but a huge wish that has to important parts. The 1st part would be when I am ready to have children, let me spawn one of the greatest human beings to ever grace the earth, with Bruce Lee skill sets that he acquired through me. The second and final part of my last wish would to bring back my Aunt Martha, who is missed dearly by my whole family.

Time Traveler

If I could travel back in time to one era it would have to be ancient times before the Illiad was written. I would train under Achilles and become his protege. By the time the Greeks attacked Troy, I would be in my early twenties. I would be in my prime and considered one of the greatest warriors to ever live. The Illiad would be altered to tell the tale of my glorious battles under Achilles and our triumphs. Also, instead of Achilles dying in Troy, I would save his life and we would continue to conquer countries all over the world.

Health care

I have not been keeping up with current events in the least, so I am not sure what the two stances on health care currently are. Having said that, I do believe that health care should be provided to every American citizen. However, I do not believe that taxes should be raised and make life more difficult for hard working citizens while others use welfare to coast through life and expect free health care. There should be a system that requires those applying for free health care to take a series of tests that show they are making something out of themselves and giving back to the community in some way.

I love Turtles

If I could be a any animal I would without a doubt be a turtle. Turtles are my favorite animals. They are fascinating creatures that live both on land and underwater. I think it would be really cool to have a turtle shell and be able to slice through the water. A turtle has a very relaxed life and even have an incredible cartoon series based on turtles called Ninja Turtles. Life would be grand until faced to combat an enemy because turtles, although incredibly cool, have little they can do to protect themselves from predators. They have a wide variety of defenses but no superior plan of attack. If their defenses were to fail or a predator were to figure out a way to penetrate turtle defenses, the turtle would be screwed.

What I want to be

When I graduate from college and go out into the real world I want to become a wealthy doctor. I want to help take care of sick people and cure terrible ailments. I believe I would be a good doctor because I truly care about the well-being of others. Also I get along with people well and would be able to relate to them. This skill would allow me to better help treat patients. I don't just want to be an ordinary doctor though. I want to be unique like Patch Adams. He was an actual genius that used laughter as tool to combat illness.

My weekend

This weekend I attended the Marshall football game, which they won, barely. From the look of things the Herd is going to have a loooooong season. Hopefully they get their act together or things will get ugly. Also I attended the Spring Valley game and watched as the highlanders were slain. Zach Wellman almost killed a man and it was ridunkilous. The final thing I did was beat the water temple on Zelda.

favorite video game character

My favorite video game character would have to be a tie between Kratos or Link. They are both extremely good characters and are valiant warriors. They are the most powerful characters ever created and they are heroes.

Which would you choose?

If given the choice of choosing charmander, bulbasoar, pikachu, or squirtle i would choose charmander. My choice, however, is irrelevant because i woudnt use him anyways. I always glitched the game and started with the greatest type of pokemon of all, the dragon. I got a dritini to start the game and raped every gym master on the game within minutes. By the time I was half way through the game i already had evolved him to a dragonite and was virtually unbeatable. Yes i am a genious.

what are the chances

Today is my 6th day of captivity. I am forced to be restrained by these white concrete walls. I fear I will die in this God forsaken place, however, just as resistance seemed futile zombies attacked. I fought my way through the savage beasts to freedom. Unfortunately my fellow captives were not so valiant in there efforts. I alone survived the onslaught and will live in freedom for the rest of my days.

Get out and good riddance

In my professional opinion I believe the U.S. should ban all pigs to protect everyone from the swine flu. While pigs still inhabit the U.S. no one is safe. Also, while we're at it we should ban those darn dirty flamingo's. They are quite possibly the worst animal in the animal kingdom. Other than that we really do not have the right to ban anyone unless it is for the safety of U.S. citizens.

unbelievable

On May 5, 2009 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that includes pedophiles under the hate crimes law but refused to accept veterans on the list. This flabbergasts me. I really am appalled to think our government would think that hate crimes can be committed against pedophiles but not against veterans, and really they are pedophiles. I am sure their are a few that are well deserving of a good old fashioned hate crime or two.

alcohol

In my opinion if you can fight in a war you can drink alcohol. The legal drinking age should be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen. Why make people wait three extra years when they are acquiring alcohol illegally anyways. Just make it legal for people who are eighteen and be done with it.

changes

If I had the opportunity to make one significant change to the world I would erase all forms of cancer. People loose countless loved ones daily to many different types of cancer. Think of all the lives that would be saved and the heartache that would be prevented. Cancer is a vile disease that plagues your organs and cells and slowly deteriorates your body until you pass away. Ridding the earth of such a disease would prevent much pain and suffering and only make the world a better place to live.

Joke of the day

A man is sitting in a bar watching the news. The news is reporting on a man on top of a building preparing to jump. A blond walks into the bar and takes a seat. She views the news and says, " I hope he will be okay." The guy says, " I bet you 20 dollars he jumps." The girl agrees and lays her money on the bar. A second later the guy on the building does a swan dive off the top of the building." Well I guess you win," says the girl. The guy answers." Yea, but I can't take your money. I saw the early news, so I knew he was going to jump. The blond says, " I did too, but I didn't think he would jump again.

Allison wore tennis shoes

Yes, this is not a cruel joke, Allison actually wore tennis shoes today. The prophecy spoke of this day when the shoeless child would don a pair of nikes and send the world crashing into a dark abyss of hell. Luckily I own a parachute, so hopefully the seemingly endless plummet will not be that bad for me. On the other hand, their are plenty of poor souls who do not own a parachute. They can show their gratitude to Allison, for she is the reason the whole world is goin to hell in a hand basket. Good job Allison, nice one.

Greatest news ever

Recently the sports world was shook when rising star Seth Curry announced he was transferring to Duke University. Unless you live under a rock you probably have heard about his older brother Stephon, who is sick, nasty by the way. With the new found point guard Duke should be the greatest college basketball team ever assembled.

My weekend

Somehow I managed to survive the virus outbreak that occurred over the weekend. It turned everyone into a monstrous vampires that reeked havoc upon the uninfected. Luckily I am an expert in swords and daggers so I had no problem destroying all who stood in my path. However the rest of Huntington was not as well trained as I. For the most part Huntington was mutilated and sucked dry, however a small group of survivors are left. I plan on selling them into a slave trade to make a profit out of this whole ordeal because those stupid vampires burned down my apartment and I have to buy a new home.

The greatest quiz game ever created

Lately I have been spending countless hours creating a quiz game. Unfortunately its pathetic and is definitely no the greatest quiz game of all time. It is however the best I can do so please don't make fun of me. For if you would choose to make fun of me God help you because I will freak out.

Go for gold

This weekend the Spring Valley Timberwolves harnessed the power of the dodo and brought home the gold. The ferocious Wolf pack attacked the Knights of Cabell Midland and tore them limb from limb. Shortly after the game was over half of the Wolf pack was arrested from the brutal massacre, which was the celebration feast, of over thirty people.

Bad things happen to good people

Today in Reed's class i fell asleep. Luckily i fell asleep in the bathroom with the door locked because when I awoke the class had been butchered. Apparently while I was sleeping super mutants invaded the class and savagely slaughtered all in their path. They harvested everyone's body parts and organs in satchels and hung them from the ceiling. Since everyone is dead I figured I would sell their organs on the black market before the super mutants returned. I made a profit of over three million dollars.

What happened in Reed's class today

We were attacked by ravenous werewolves that killed and mauled all in sight. When all seemed to be lost a magical Dodo appeared. It raped and killed all the werewolves saving what was left of the class. Once i again i managed to survive only by using the defenseless kid next to me as a human shield.

what happened in Mr. Reed's class today

Today I was attacked by a horde of evil ninja vampires. Luckily the attacked during the day so I just opened the garage door in back and obliterated all enemies. Sadly enough most the class was slaughtered because I pawned them off as decoys to give me time to get to the garage door in back. The died so that I may live, which in my opinion was an honorable death.

1st day

Team mud butt took home the gold. Congradulations for making a game worthy of only champions.
