Wesley Johnson VS: Lebron James (clear winner is Lebron)

               Wesley Johnson is a very talented player. A certain person in my language arts class believes he is the best but I disagree.  James is the best player of all times I believe. He can do it all and he has made the All-Star team every year since 2005. This is amazing considering what it even takes to get into the NBA.  I believe when it the end of his career (which will be in a long time) he will be in the hall of fame. This year LeBron left his old team the Cavs for the Miami heat to complete the fab 3. Lebron has played with 2 teams throughout his entire NBA career, Cleveland, Cavaliers and now the present day Miami Heat.  King James as he is so often called has so many accomplishments it’s impeccable. Two time best player in 2009-10, NBA rookie of the year in 2004, 7 time NBA all star 2005-11, NBA scoring chapion in 2008, 5× All-NBA First Team (2006, 2008–2011), 2× All-NBA Second Team (2005, 2007), 3× All-Defensive First Team (2009–2011), NBA All-Rookie First Team (2004), 2× NBA All-Star Game MVP (2006, 2008), Naismith Prep Player of the Year (2003). I think he is an amazing player and he will have lots of more accomplishments to come. Especially better than Wesley Johnson.

Small Steps

Small Steps is a runoff of one of the characters from the book Holes. The Character Armpit is finally home from the awful juvenile Camp Green Lake. This was a total lie because it was not green and there was no lake. That is kind of like Greenland, it is more icy than Green. It might confuse people because maybe they didn’t know this fact when they were prepared to go there and they packed all wrong. I didn’t know this fact, did you? Any way now that Armpit is home he is on this way to correct his life and no one can stop him not even a famous girl that comes into his life. Maybe that’s how love happens when you least expect it. Armpit for sure didn’t expect it.

Armpit didn’t meet his love till halfway through the book. Let me catch you up though till this point. Counseling is where the story begins. I think the advice the counselor gives Armpit is really good and it sends a good message.  “Life is like walking upstream in a rushing river.  The secret was to take small steps and just keep moving forward. If you try to make too big of a step the current would knock him down and bring him right back down stream.” I think this means set little goals in life and keep completing each one so it’s easier to get where you want to go.

Some of these small steps were to get a job, graduate from high school, save money, avoid situations that might turn violent, and loose the name Armpit. Throughout this book Armpit counteracts pretty much all of his goals. But somehow it all ends up being good in the end like any other book. Although it ended up being all good in the end there were lots of ups and downs to get to the place he wanted to be. This was right by the side of the love of his life Kaira DeLeon. They have moments where it seems as if this could never work out between them other times it seemed destiny. I guess all these relationships have these times though. It’s really special that there’s could pull through all that happened. Which was a lot but you have to read the book to find out the specifics.

Over all I thought this book was really good. I loved the plot there was action but also romance. The moral or message of the book was incredible. I loved that saying, it really motivates me. In this book everything seemed pretty bad at the moment but Armpit kept taking his small steps and got love when he least expected it. Which love is a wonderful ending to a great story.

Summer Vacation

18 more days of waiting. Waiting for what do you ask? Summer vacation which I cannot wish would come soon enough. I’m trying to wait patiently but I’m craving to sit out in the sun all day. Get a nice tan and to eat an ice pop. Yummy in my tummy. Also in the summer I get to go up to my cabin for 11 days over the 4th of July. We go boating, jet skiing, tubing, and almost all my family is up there. Oh so very much do I wish summer vacation would come.

Lyric Interpretation

You’ve got that smile, that only heaven can make. Thinks she is beautiful no matter what.
I pray to God every day, you keep that smile.- He hopes she is always happy.

Yeah, you are my dream, -She is the one and only girl for him.
There’s not a thing I won’t do.
I’ll give my life up for you,
Cause you are my dream. -I think these 3 lyrics mean what they say he will do anything to make her happy.

And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry. Always there for her.
I’ll be there when you’re insecure,- When she is down or having troubles he will help.
Let you know that you’re always lovely.
Girl, causes you are the only thing that I got right now. -She is his world.

One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you. -They will be together no matter what happens they will be together.

You had my child,
You make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on me,
That’d be mine forever. -He always hopes he can have her.

And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I’ll be there when you’re insecure. He will help her through what ever.
Let you know that you’re always lovely
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now.- She is his world.

One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.- Till death do they part.

We’re made for one another
Me and you.
And I have no fear He will protect her through whatever.
I know we’ll make it through Everything will be all good no matter what because they have eachother.

One day when the sky is falling
I’ll be standing right next to you- Right next to her to keep her safe
Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhh

One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.- Forever and always he will be there

Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side
When the sky falls
Oh baby
I’ll be there.- When the world end he will be right there just so they can go through this together.

You’ve got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.- Even if they don’t end up together he still wants her happy.

Garbology

Authors Note: Haley and I wrote this story in Language arts. It’s about a pink princess throwing a birthday bash. We wanted to write a story about a princess then we ust added stuff to it.

Once upon a time there was a Princess named Andrea who always wore pink. No one could ever remember her name so she wore a name tag 24/7. One day she decided to go outside and play in the forest. On her way out she tripped on a twig and had her knee started oozing icky red blood. She had o hop back to the castle. Andrea’s mother screamed when she saw her and quickly ran to get the gauze to wrap her knee up.  As soon as her knee was all wrapped up she went to town shopping for her mother’s birthday. She decided to get chocolate cupcakes that had happy birthday signs on them.  For she decided to throw her mom a birthday ball.

                At the day of the birthday ball she decided to make her Mother a birthday banner but she had one big problem. Her problem was she had a tiny paint brush and a huge sign. I’m sensing a dilemma there. But she managed to do it though it 2 hours record time. Quickly after she made a fast run to the store to pick up chex mix because that was her mother’s favorite food.  Also she bought pink erasers to hand out after the party. While at the ball she met a prince who gave her a magnet to symbolize his love for her. The magnet even had hid number on it. The next day she called him and they eloped to Vegas and they lived happily ever after.  

Music

        Music can fill you up or bring you down. Each song has a story. Not all are good sometimes just listening to the lyrics makes you feel sad. Also to think that a real life person is going through this can make it worse. Not saying all songs are sad and make you feel down. Justin Bieber always makes me feel better if I listen to him. Everyone has their own taste of music to express them self or it could just be their culture. Music brings people together whether they know it or not.
