the woods

I walk through the woods
With the wind gently blowing
It is peaceful here

my special prom night

We danced all night long
Until she came home with me
One night stand oh man

Cats

Cats are bad for me
I do not like cats at all
Cats scare me badly

Fear

Heart racing
Someone following me
Run inside and lock the door
He’s not following me any more
False alarm

the door

This seems familiar
I have seen this before
I cant believe I hit that door

green

color of money
fuling the war and the death
stop being greedy

mud

many ruts under our car.
into the ditch
I really hate mud season

war

War is terrible
the loss of life is tragic
bring them home safely

If I Was President

If I was the president of the United States I would address the major issue of global warming. In present day America many people believe in this global warming and a hole in the Ozone layer. The truth is that these believers, mostly democrats, are mistaken. The Earth has had elevated temperatures in the past, it is all a part of the Earths cycle.

My Mistake

One morning I was with my friends playing paintball. We had already split into two different teams. Each team had five people on it. The enemy team was on the top of a hill, so we created a strategy. I would sneak around and take them from behind, wile two other teammates would come from the sides of the hill and the two remaining men would charge straight at the hill.

My Weekend

Last weekend was a lot of fun. My family and I went to Tuckerman Ravine to ski. We trekked up the mountain for three grueling hours until we finally reached the base camp. After we put on our ski cloths, we hiked up to the top of the bole and skied down. All of us were telemark skiing. It is one of the best feelings in the world to drop the knee into a big arching teley turn.

Life and philosophies of John Locke and J. Rousseau

John Locke and J. Rousseau both had a major affect on the world. John Locke changed how people saw the world. He believed that people are entitled to certain rights. He also believed that it is the government’s duty to inshore that each citizen has rights. J. Rousseau believed that humans are naturally good but are corrupted by society.

The Number Three

The number 3 is important to me because it represents the holy trinity. The holy trinity represents the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. In Christianity, the holy trinity is the doctrine that God is the one being who exists forever and always in these three persons and these persons in him.

stress

There is not very much stress in my life. I have never been really stressed out about anything except when I am in trouble or when I have a big homework assignment. When I get stressed I play sports. I play all contact sports so I can just take out my stress on the field or on the ice. When ever I get stressed it never lasts long. I have never had much trouble with stress.

Ghosts

I do not know if ghosts are real or not. I don’t think that they exist because I find it hard to believe that it’s possible for a person after death to come back to the land of the living and communicate by speech or touch. But I have no proof that they do not exist.

The Memory Box

Memories memories trapped in me
Open me up and only then can you see
The good and the bad inside of me

Football Expectations

I have been playing football for a long time. I started my football career in 5th grade and I love the sport. When I began middle school in 7th grade I was starting right offensive tackle and defensive tackle. In 8th grade I was starting right guard and defensive end. Then I started high school.
