K3

There was a little town called Shoreston and it was on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. A lot of people lived here, and there were a lot of sailors as well, pretty much everyone that lived there was a sailor because that was all there was to do there. One family called the Jackson’s lived for sailing. They ate, breathed and dreamt about sailing. They were a small family made up of a Mother, Father, and a little boy. The father was barely ever home but when he was he spent as much time with his son as he could. The father is on a big trip to sail across the ocean. His son came running out of the house to say goodbye to his father because he wouldn’t be seeing him for a while to do his trip he was going to take. His son was standing by the shore with a little light waving it back and forth to his father and his father knew that he was going to miss his son. The father jumped into the water and swam to shore. He didn’t tell anyone that he was going to jump into the water and stay back, so everyone was really surprised, even his kid. The father swam to shore and gave his son a big hug and told him that he was staying with him and he wasn’t going to travel across the world. He took his sons light and used Morse code to tell the ship to leave. The father didn’t want to be a traveler anymore so he soon started his own fishing company with his own boats. He was able to see his son every day because he would stay near Shoreston and fish with his crew. They all lived happily ever after.

Little Christopher was all cuddled up in his bed one night during the summer, he and his 10 brothers just got in from and event filled day. Christophers brothers were Jared, Jimmy, Jake, Jack, Phil, Domenic, Christian, Corey, John, and Eric. They all loved being outdoors, and loved spending time with each other playing around outside, which they did all day today. Christopher started his day off by waking up to find only Corey, John, and Eric in the house. They had made Christopher a big breakfast to start the day because Christopher always helps them with their chores. They made him a big breakfast which consisted of eggs, toast, bagels, ham, bacon, sausage, milk, and orange juice. Christopher was debating whether they made it themselves or not because it was the best breakfast he has ever had. After that Corey, John, and Eric walked to the park with Christopher only to find Jared, Jimmy, Jake, and Jack playing with a sailboat in the lake. Christopher was a big boat enthusiast so he loved seeing them play with a sailboat and asked if he could join them. Of course they said yes, but that wasn’t the only thing they said… they told Christopher that he could have the boat. He was so happy he almost spent all day at the lake until Corey, John, Eric, Jared, Jimmy, Jake, and Jack told them that Phil, Domenic and Christian had another surprise at the baseball diamond. They all walked peacefully and joyfully to the baseball diamond where they found the rest of their brothers. They gave Christopher a new baseball bat because he was a good baseball player. They all played a friendly game of baseball with a ball that they found in their dads room… What they didn’t know is that it was an autographed ball their father caught at the World Series hit by Babe Ruth. The first hit was from Christopher and he launched the ball, the kids could’ve sworn that it landed in a cloud he hit it so far. They had no more baseballs left so they all walked home and went to bed. Christopher was lying in bed, shut his light off but it was still light in his room, he was wondering what it was so he asked. It was Babe Ruth’s spirit, he came to congratulate Christopher on a great hit.

One stormy night in a little town somewhere far, far away, there was a little house on top of a huge hill. In this house lived a large family. The family consists of Papa John, Mama Mary, and their kids, Mike, Matt, Joe, Phil, Sarah and Madeline. On this stormy night, there was rain, hail, and a bunch of debris flying into the house. It was hitting the house so hard that Mike and Madeline were scared to sleep because they thought they heard a monster. They searched the house to find nothing but a little puppy. The puppy couldn’t have been larger than a soccer ball. Mike and Madeline soon went to wake up all their brothers and sisters so they could see what they found. The puppy was so scared of the storm because it was stranded until it landed upon the house on top of the huge hill. The kids were having a great time with the puppy, they forgot all about the storm because they were occupied with the puppy. Papa John was soon woken up from all the commotion with the puppy… this is what the kids were scared of because they know that their father hates animals. Papa John started screaming and yelling and throwing a fit. He started chasing the puppy around the house trying to capture it but it was too fast for him. He was trying everything to get the puppy. He started chasing it around with a broom stick… Papa John has the puppy in his sights and CRACK he tacks a good whack at the puppy, but completely missed and broke the broom in half. He scared the puppy so bad, he hid under the carpet. The dog didn’t know where to go from here and Papa John picked up a chair, lined up the puppy and BOOM he threw the chair at it, but the puppy disappeared and no one knows where it went.

J-2 Choice

This blog is a choice blog, I will write about how far behind I am in online publishing. Well first of all let me start out by saying this class is taught by my football coach, the one and only… wait for it… Mr. Currin!!!! Okay so I tore my meniscus during football season and I just recently had surgery on it to fix it. I had surgery January 31st, but I believe I was absent the day before due to a stomach virus. So I had my knee surgery, and I got tons of work done, but guess what work I didn’t do… that’s right, my Online Publishing blogs, AND my newspaper articles, and I’m starting to see why I should’ve wrote down a reminder to do my blogs and articles, because back work is no fun at all… it is quite stressful. Scratch that, it’s really stressful, and just the kind of guy Mr. Currin is, he has moved me by all girls so I can finish my blogs and articles because he wants me to excel in school and especially this class because there is no reason why I should be failing this class, especially with such a wonderful teacher, and a wonderful editor.

J3- Favorite Muscians

I have a lot of favorite musicians at this time in my life, and they all don’t make sense to most people… my favorite music genres are Rap and Country… it’s a weird mix, I know. My favorite musician at this time would have to be Wale. Wale is one of the best rappers I have ever heard… he doesn’t rap about stupid things like drugs, girls, and money. He raps about his life, and how it was growing up. He says in one of his raps “I’m just an artist, I’m just a man, may not change the world, but let me inspire someone who can.” To me that line just screams a motivational person. Wale made his first album in 2009, but really became hot in 2011. His first album was named Attention Deficit, followed up by a mix tape named, “More About Nothing” which was followed by up by 3 “hot” albums, “back to the Feature” “The Eleven One Eleven Theory” and his newest album “Ambition”. Wale has insane flow as well, though some of his songs may have explicit words in it, doesn’t make him a bad person at all… People get there points across in different ways. Another one of my favorite rappers is Mac Miller strictly because of his lyrics, and his flow is great. But my favorite rapper of all time would have to be Lil Wayne; he is my favorite because he is a lyrical genius. The words he puts into his songs are truly amazing… I would like to see more rappers match his expertise. He has been around for a long time, and I don’t think I heard one album that I did not like… talking about these rappers is making me think… What is the rap game going to be like in the future??

J-1 My Hero

A hero is defined as, - Noun:
1. A person, typically a man, who is admired for courage or noble qualities.
A hero to me has to be someone that I look up to, and someone that has always been there for me. A hero to me generally would have to teach me things I didn’t know, and get me out of sticky situations. A hero is well disciplined, while knowing how to discipline. My hero would have to be my dad. My dad is my hero because he’s always been there for me since I was born. I would define him as my hero because he taught me a lot in my 17 years on this earth. Me and my hero get into fights sometimes but that doesn’t stop me from looking up to him, because 99 percent of the time, the reason we fight is because I had done something wrong, and knowing me, I always want to be right so I argue it. My dad is my hero because he pushes me in everything I do. He pushed me to start football at an early age. He pushed me so much, I gained true feelings for the game of football and I never want to be separated from it. My dad is also pushing me to excel in school. He’s always pushed me in school but I kind of just brushed it off, but I have learned growing up, that I need to make the best of my grades to be successful in the world today. There was never a time where I would go to my dad for advice and he wouldn’t have anything to say. I know this whole article sounds cliché, but it’s true. My dad is my biggest hero, I owe him a big thank you for everything he has done.
