Rats would scurry across the foot of our beds every night, their soft, warm bellies up against our toes. We were better off stranded Rowe said.Three months after, we were placed in our third foster home-Ms. finch, at thirty buckle avenue. For a split second it seemed that three was our lucky number.”Wake up boys,” Screeched a woman’s voice from below, “Now!”We could here her three inch, red leather heels clop away across the finely-polished wood floor.Rowe sat up, stretched, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and placed the tattered and depressed glasses on to his nose.”You got out on the wrong side of the bed.” I obnoxiously stated as i got out on the left side.”Shut your face Murph!” He threw a pillow at me. I picked up my teddy and chucked it back at him, accidentally knocking his glasses to the floor and underneath the bed, coincidentally landing on my side. he scrambled on the floor trying to reach them. I picked them up and ran out the door laughing hysterically, “Ha, Ha, you can’t see!’” Come back here you bratty little pilferer, I’m gonna smash your face in!”I ran faster.I was too quick for the the poor blind fellow.I decided to stop and let him catch up. I waved his glasses in the air and he made a grab for me. I ducked and plummeted down the stairs.i watched as he stumbled down the cracked wooden stairs and fell straight on his butt.”Missed me” I screamed.I ran into the white tiled kitchen and slid across the floor.Rowe ran after me, arms flailing wildly in front of him. i ran under the kitchen table and he managed to grab my shirt tail, i scratched him.”ROMAN, MURPHY! STOP THIS INSTANT!” Ms. Finch bellowed, her face beet red .She stood with her hands on her hips, pursing her lips as she normally did when we did something wrong.
My friend and I went to the local football fields today because we decided to kick some field goals. We usually play golf together, but today we decided to take a nice break from golf. We had pretty low expectations for ourselves on how good we would be but we didn’t think it would be too hard to get a couple of field goals through the uprights.
Well, I was wrong. On my first five attempts I didn’t even make one. The ball was nowhere close to making a field goal. My friend on the other hand though wasn’t too bad. On his first five attempts he made two of them.
The funny part was that my friend was wearing his basketball shoes and I was wearing soccer cleats. After a while I got to a point to where I would make three out of every four field goals I attempted. I’m no Adam Vinatieri and I don’t think I will ever be. The longest field goal I made was from about 30 yards out. After this afternoon, I have a lot of respect to kickers and the jobs they do in the NFL. Making field goals is no gimmie. Kickers have to earn every one of those three points.
I would like to hear your field goal story. Just comment on your field goal experience. If you haven’t attempted a field goal yet, you ought to try it. I guarantee you will have a blast.
I know Soccer (Football for non Americans) isn’t as popular in America as it is compared to the rest of the world. I wish Soccer did hit America big though. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Robinho, Kaka, Buffon, Totti, Toni and Rooney might never play in America but they can play on your computer screen on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.
The game isn’t released yet in the states but you can go to any European video game website to pick up your own copy. If you are hesitant to spend around 50 bucks to get your copy before the American version releases let me give you my review of the game.
First, I have a fairly old computer that runs the game just fine. It would have to be played on low quality but the gameplay still can’t be beat. If you have played the Pro Evolutions in the past you will notice this years version has easier shooting. Remember when you had to tap the shoot button just to get on target? Well I noticed that I can fill up a little more of the bar and have blazing shots. Diving is also in the game now. As much as I hate diving in soccer it’s pretty cool how you can get a yellow card for simulating. I am yet to make a successful dive. Due to the fact that you usually get yellows for diving, players will shy away from the dive feature. Some teams have been licensed in the game this year with their uniforms. The English league still looks a little rough due to having no licenses but you can find patch packs on the internet to fix stuff like that up. Overall the game is the same and I’m glad that Konami didn’t do any drastic changes to the game.
Pro Evolution Soccer isn’t the perfect Soccer game but I think it is the best that is out there on the market right now. FIFA has nice licenses and game modes but the gameplay is too EAsy and gets old after a while. Pro Evolution has nice gameplay but no real licenses or eye popping game modes.
In conclusion, I would get Pro Evolution Soccer for PC if you haven’t done so yet. It’s fun to play with your friends and it never gets old.
Here is a little teaser for you to watch while you wait for your copy.
This post was written by Gracie. She always says to me at school that she can never write something good. I received this notification today and I think this is one of the best creative stories about the environment. Environmentalist or not I think this is a must read.
Another beautiful day, another wonderful year. The wind blows as one friend whispers to the other “109 years later, and look at us. Still together and growing strong.” Another gust of wind as the other softly replies “I know, I know! It has been so long. I’ve known you since I was just a baby. We’ve seen the world change together, we’ve watched children grow to have grand children. We have been through wartime and peace, we’ve survived droughts and floods and we still live on. Side by side, as it has always been.” The two continued growing and aging, only speaking to each other when the wind would blow, never rasing their voice any loader than the rustling of leaves. Right before their eyes they saw a neighborhood grow and homes started lining up, ever closer, almost at their feet. A cool breeze blew as one said to the other “My, my, my, dearest one, I do hope it stops here. This land is getting crowded and its getting hard for me to breath.” As the wind blew once more as the friend reassured the other “My dear friend, if they were to grow anymore they’d have to be rid of us first. We are far too valuable for them to do anything to us. Have no worries, if they have any sense at all, they’d stop where they are and keep more of us around.” The very next moment the two friends moaned in pain. They tried to resist but the pain kept coming. They heard someone cry “Timber!” as they clung to each other as they fell to the groung crying and creaking and moaning.
The two friends lived for over a century and saw more history than any of us ever will and we chose to cut down such beautiful trees for more space. Take a moment to enjoy them. They’re beautiful things.
Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64 celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. In honor of its 10th anniversary I would like to show you this video made by a bunch of hardcore Goldeneye fans.
The lack of ideas has not helped my posting. I was bored and I decided to look up prompts- to get ideas to write. This is one of the prompts that was given. I don’t believe I have written this very well but I thought I would post something as I think of more ideas. Can you figure out what it is?
I’m at the end point of my life.
Yet it has not been a life of enjoyment.
I have often felt so cold.
So cold that my body would just numb and crack!
Yet, if that was not enough, I have experienced the burning sensation of a fire.
My insides scalded and my outers expanding to the point of break!
Sometimes I’d sit outside- perspiring drop upon drop of wetness.
Other times I’d sit inside-frozen to core.
Unable to move-However I often felt this way.
paralyzed and disabled.
I never slept.
I never ate.
Now this life will end.
Somehow it’s flat palms will engulf me and desiccate me.
My entrails will lay on the ground and I will be swept up.
I will not be mourned for.
I am just a mere clone.
I will also be responsible -i will some how take the blame.
I think I pulled out a miracle within myself yesterday. This might sound nerdy but a story I submitted to digg got popular. It might not sound like a big deal to most people but this was an article that will change the layout of digg.
I was viewing my RSS Feed on Google Reader and I saw this interesting article. I thought the article had potential to be big on digg so I submitted it there. I was surprised that a blogger as popular as Scott Wainner didn’t have this submitted to digg yet.
Yesterday I checked my submission to see if it has gone big yet and it only had two other diggs. Today though I checked my email and it said kidal25 you have some fans. I was like what in the world is this. How could I have fans on digg? Then I realized that the Scott Wainner story I submitted was the reason. I checked my profile and what do you know my story got popular.
I was shocked. I never knew that I would ever have a popular digg story. I felt really great. I feel bad that I didn’t know who Kevin Rose was though at the time. He commented and he had the most commented digg. I googled his name and realized that he is a co founder of digg. After realizing that, I felt really special that the sites co founder would thank me for such a submission.
Life goes on though. I’m glad that I was able to contribute to the digg community. I guess next time I find an interesting article I’ll just submit it to digg. I thank everyone who dugg it and made my day possible.
Youtube has opened many doors for actors, comedians, directors, and musicians. Thanks to youtube people can search for anything and find a video related to that keyword.
I was watching “The Hills” (I had nothing else to do) the other day and I heard “Umbrella” on the show. It wasn’t Rihanna singing though. It was some girl that I have never heard before and I just needed to find out who it was. I searched through youtube and found out that it was a girl named Marie Digby.
I have to say this girl has some chops. She said on her youtube account that she just plays by ear and the rest is history. She is so popular that she got invited to play on the Carson Daly Show.
I’m so glad I found her because I personally think that this version is better than the Rihanna version.
I was thinking the other day what I should do with this blog. I said to myself, “Maybe I should just write about whatever is on my mind.” Other bloggers usually on their tip pages and all that stuff usually say you should have a niche or subject or theme or whatever. I’m taking a new approach to blogging. I am going to write whatever is on my mind. If you don’t like it fine then don’t read it. No one asked you to read this blog in the first place. I think creating a “whatever” blog is good for the rest of my crew and me. We don’t have to write about one thing because we can write about anything.
Hello readers, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. My other authors and I have been busy with school and other stuff that we barely have time to post here. It’s about time that I don’t have homework today so I think I will inform most of you about your privacy.
If you have a home phone number then chances are that people can just look up your number then know where you live.
We all know in todays world what can happen if people know where you live. If you don’t know if your number is in the Google database or not then just go to Google and type your phone number in(ex. 999-999-9999).
I hope this saves anyone from stalker troubles or anything of that nature.
