Dreams

This year we are doing something called Dreams.  Everybody gets to pick a dream.  Once they have come up with a dream, their job is to search using books, internet and people who might know something about this.

My dream is to become a teacher. I have always wanted to be a teacher because, you get to teach kids stuff that you have already learned, when you were in their grade.  I don’t know about you but I think it would be fun to be a teacher.

Another reason I want to be a teacher is because you make quite a bit of money.  I don’t like listening to what other people teach me, but I think it would be fun to teach people instead of having to listen.  I understand that you have to go to meetings and other things, but if it makes me a better teacher, so I don’t get fired, I would totally do it.

I want to know two things, what is your dream and are you sure you want to do that when you are older?

Minecraft

I would like to share a game that is available for the DS, Xbox 360 and even a Mac and PC.

Minecraft is a sand box game that is currently in its Alpha phase.  You start with nothing and have to build tools out of wood.  Then you can work your way up to diamond.  There are tons of texture packs to choose from, some of which are created by other players.  For example, the Neatpack texture pack was created by Mod Predator.

The game costs $26.95.  You can buy it from the online store on the website.  The website is: http://www.minecraft.net/. You need to install it after downloading. You can play the game in online or offline mode, but you need Java to play free.  You can also choose between single or multiplayer.  I think its really fun, but I really want it!!! >:)

Do you think you would be interested in this game?

Taylor Hall

Right now, there is a big controversy going on in my house.  Here is the story:

Taylor Hall got large cut on his face which needed 30-33 stitches.  This was caused because he was not wearing a helmet during a hockey warm-up.  And this is were the fight began.

My Mom thinks because Hall is a professional sports player, he has the responsibility to wear the proper equipment at all times, even during warm-up. That way, less injuries are caused.

But on the other hand, my Dad has a totally different opinion.  He believes that people are strongly over-reacting, because out of 35 000 warm-ups last year, there were only 3 injuries.  Also, he thinks if helmets keep us SO safe, why don’t we wear them in cars, buses and trains?

I want to know what YOU think!

My point has been proven (or HAS it?) ;D

Soccer

My favourite sport would be soccer.  It’s fun and energetic.  And the good thing about it is that you can play it all year arrownd, because there is indoor and outdoor soccer.  But I haven’t played indoor yet.  I have played soccer for 5 years and sadly this is my last year.  Soccer is my favourite sport because you can make new friends and really just the baseks of the game, but what I don’t like about soccer is that when your vs another team they give you dirty looks and shove you arrownd.

Like this one team last year they were cheeting all over!  They were kicking and shoving, and this one girl litrary jumped on my back, and the refery didn’t even see.  But other than that I love soccer.  I usualy just play mid field or forward, but mostly mid field.  But the worst position I have played was goley.  If the ball comes my way I just dodge the ball.

So if you were on my team you would not want me to be goley.  Playing goley is scary.  My friend usualy plays the same thing as me but mostly plays goley.  And she does good.  But she plays indoor and outdoor, and the rules for indoor is just a little different than outdoor, like in outdoor if you kick the ball out of the field the reff blow the whistle and you have to throw the ball and then resume playing.

But in indoor soccer if it goes outside the line and hits the wall you just keep on playing. But there is also a line on the wall so if the ball hits the wall and went over the line then the reff blows the whistle.  And the nets look really weird too.  I have played on the community league team for four years and had to play on another community league team for one year because there was no coach for my community league team. I think soccer just runs in the family, because my dad played soccer and my older and younger sisters.  Just the bad thing is that this is my last year doing soccer because next year I’m doing sports rec at the junior high I want to attend.

Well that’s my favourite sport what’s yours?

Long Boarding

Long boarding is very fun they go very nice and fast that’s why I like it. Maybe some day you guys should try it :D. Its something like a surf board but with wheels is what I think but yeah it really looks like one but not really the same shape because they’re not all the same. You can get all kinds of stuff for it like really nice wheels and stickers and others too.

I started to really want a long board because I liked the way they look and they’re wheels were so cool because I knew they had a load of different colors and they had big and small tires too also they have awesome designs for example I have one that has a giraffe in a wedding suit and at the bottom of it it says it’s business time.

The Big HAM's New Year's Resolution

It's that time of year again - the time to make a New Year's resolution.  If the past has any indication on the present, I will stick to my resolution for about six weeks and then declare it a day.  But hey, at least that's better than nothing, right?  As I have gotten older I have discovered that I am not disciplined enough to stick to a long-term goal (such as working out for an entire year) and would fare much better if I set more realistic, short-term goals.  I am excited about this year though because I think I can at least stick to it longer than six weeks.  

MY 2012 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION IS TO SPEND LESS MONEY.

I have plans to go to England in July and if anyone's has ever travelled, you know that it is expensive.  So far, it's been working well.  Other than my fixed costs such as a mortgage, groceries, insurance, taxes and various bills, I have kept my variable spending (stuff like clothes, shoes and entertainment) down.  Yes, I know it's only ten days into 2012.  I find that if I don't visit malls or stores, I have a much better chance of keeping my resolution.  To help with spending less money, I have set up some Glass Jars of England and put cash into it every week so that I have a visual of the money that I am saving.

I LOVE shopping so I'm excited to see how long I can keep this up.  Wish me luck.

What's your New Year's resolution?
