Halloween

Halloween is a great time for pranks, second only to April-Fools' day. I've given up trick or treating this year and hope to find something interesting to do other than watch horror movies all night and throw candy at the unfortunate kids to come to my door. Here are some great pranks that I've heard about, or done myself....

Technology

Can you believe all the technology that we have? I mean, it's crazy! I bet half of the American population would die out if all our technological gadgets and electricity was all of the sudden gone. I'm not complaining, though, I can't wait 'till the Nintendo Revolution and Xbox 360 come out into the market. (I don't care much for the Playstation 3). The advances in the gaming area is incredible, and their making a great profit off of the youth today. The Nintedo Revolution is my favorite so far, because of the price tag. The Xbox 360 is just too much money for me to save up and spend in one place. Even though all this is great, we could use all the research and advances in more imprtant areas. With all the money put into gaming, we could put an end to global warming or world hunger or something like that.

My UEA weekend

My UEA weekend wasn't one of the best weekends I've ever had, but it was okay. I didn't do anything on Thursday, but I went boating on Friday. The boating trip was pretty fun, except when your freezing cold and the sun goes down and you can't feel your fingers or toes. After that fun experience we all went to bed and woke up to a Saturday of work. First I cleaned up my house and mowed the lawn and cleaned the garage, then I went with a neighbor to work at a dentist office in construction as the clean up crew. Now that I come to think of it, that UEA weekend wasn't cool at all.

Jobs

Don't you hate it when you need money, but the only source you have are your parents and the local neighborhood civilians that give you little chores to do for money just because they pity you? That's how my life is and it isn't getting any better. I could use an infinite amount of money right now, but right now I can't get any money!! I want a job, but the only place I could work is Lagoon, and it's too late to work there this year. I just hope that I will win a contest or competition for a million dollars or something, because I'm not gonna get anything any other way!

school rules

I think that they should allow gum in the schools. I mean, gum helps us think and it gives us something to do while the teachers are ranting on. Honestly, I think that the gum rule is outragous. The thing that really bothers me is that there was no gum rule in the first place. It was the kids that stuck their gum under the desks or let drop on the floor, they ruined it for the rest of us. I think that if we were given another chance we wouldn't let that happen again.

My Pets

My pets come and go about as frequently as the seasons change. I have had 5 dogs, two turtles, two hamsters, and, long ago, three ducks. You may be thinking well maybe it's not the pets, it's the owner. I know it sounds doubtful, but in most cases I wasn't to blame. The first pet I had was a dog, unfortunately the dog wouldn't have me. He started off this wonderful relationship with 3 bites to the arm and a bite on the back. I really didn't like him after that. The next two dogs had a problem with the house and where to go to the bathroom. My mom can't handle her beautiful carpet being soiled. The ducks were the neighborhood pets as they stayed at every house one night in order to obtain bread. After that, I got two hamsters to share with my brother, but, with bad luck that only I could possess, my littlest brother liberated the hamsters while I was at school. He came to me saying the hamsters are free! I didn't get any hamsters after that incident. Then came my dog-not the family dog-my dog. I bought it, I supplied the food, I bought the kennel! Sadly enough, I had to take the dog to the animal shelter when she ran all the way to Layton. Then came my favorite dog-Sparky. He was a Sharpei (Chinese war dog) and was the most obedient dog in town. We really invested in this dog, we even gave him eye surgery to keep the great lengths of extra skin from blinding him. With great pain, we gave him to a good family when we decided to move to Las Vegas. In Vegas we went through another dog who had a bad case of nohousetrainingitis. Then we got the turtles. One was named Lily, and another was Picasso. They too were a few of the many casualties in the war of relocation. But my latest pet, a Lahsa Apso named Marcello, is staying for good. He's already house trained, and is really nice to the little children. He's the only success in one of 12 pets. Hopefully all you out there have had better luck with pets than I have.
