prison

Prison could be one of the greatest things built. It keeps the bad and dangerous people away from the good and normal people. If there were no prison then there would be mad men running around the world trying to do harm to others. So I think yes if you do wrong then you should be punished. Personally I think now in days people are to generous with how they sentence some one. If people are going to break the law then they should be punished for whatever the crime they did.
I think that there need to be more prisons like guantanamor bay. People seem that they do not learn from their mistakes so they should be more scared to go to a prison like that. Also if people do not learn from their mistakes and keepm committing crimes then they should have loneger sentences. I think if you get arrested 3 times for a serious crime then you should have to spend 20 - life depending on how bad those crimes are. I do not think people should be allowed to be released early from jail for good behavior. If you have good behavior then you would not be in jail in the first place in my opinion.
I think that there should be the death penalty. There is nothing wrong with it, it is completely fine. If you have no problem taking the life of an innocent human being then there should be no problem on taking the life of the murderer. The fact that in todays worlds there is no death penalty in some states is crazy. Why put someone in life for killing someone for them to be possibly be released some time later in their life.
The one crime that really gets me angry is drinking and driving. First let me say I think alcohol should be illegal. I hate it, it brings so much harm to many people and people who get in trouble for this by killing some one d not even get charged with murder. That is crazy it is a horrible crime they know what could happen if they drink and drive. Personallly i think there should be a death penatly for drinking and driving. It is one of the worst crimes out there.
If I had my own prison I would feel bad for the people to who get sent there. There should be no excuse to commit a serious crime. Thats what my prison would be for, only serious crimes. The people who got sent there would want to wish that they were to be put on death row thats how bad it would be. I would strongly suggest that in my prison torturing. I know it sounds wrong but if you did harm to some one else then there should be no reason why there should be harm done to them. Anyone would enter my prison minimum amount of years would be 20 years. Thats how bad my prison would be. 

Blogs

So after countless weeks of writing blogs on topics that you have given us, I think it is a good idea for you to give us this topic on that we can write about anything. First i could not really think on what to write this about. I was thinking at first to write it about something involving sports or my entire high school career to this day. I was even thinking about writing it on square dancing since we start that in gym in a couple of days, but I decided to save that for anothe wild card in the near future. I thought it would have been tough for me to reach 500 words on some of the topics i was thinking about. Sports would be easy but I thought many people would try to write about that so i decided not to.
So for this blog i wanted to write about something different. I am going to wite about writing blogs. I have to write blogs for two of my classes. This class and my expository writing class for mueller. At first you two had similar ways on how the blog was set up. You would distribute a topic to the class and they would have to to write their response by writing on certain amount of words. Then mueller decided to change the ways she did her blogs. Once she did that I realized how much easier hers turned out to be. It was not the way she did hers now that made it easier it was the amount of words she used to make the blogs easier. Every sunday night i would do both of the blogs. Yours would take up a lot of time, while Mueller's I would be done with very easy.
I am not trying to say i like the way she does her because i think you have a lot of interesting topics that we can write about. But there are some topics that you have that are tough to write about. You seem to understand that because there have been a few times where you have shortened the word count. Even when there is a really good topic to write about i find it hard to get to 500 words. The last 100 words are usally just me putting random word in it to make it longer. I think if you made the word count down to 400 it would make it a lot easier for many of your students.
I like writing blogs. It is the only fun hw assaigment that I have. It does not really have to do with anything that we learn in class and it gives us freedom to write about what we want. Other classes still involving doing work and when is that ever fun. Other then it is some what hard toremember and that it is hard to reach the mininum number it is fun to do and an easy way to get the grades higher. I would suggest you lower the number of word on some more blogs though.

Travel

I have never really traveled before in my life. I have been in New Jersey for most of my life. I've gone to New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania a few times but never staying there to long. I used to go to Delaware every spring break to go to my Uncle's for Easter. I also went to Massachusetts once just to go to my cousins wedding. So when ever i do travel it never real is for a long period of time and i usually go some where just to visit my family. I had always wished that i was rich just so i would be able to travel and do cool things.
 I would not really want to travel any where in the US besides Florida to go to Disney and Hawaii. I guess that after that i would go on a road trip across America just to say i went to every state. Other then that i would try to travel outside the US and go to mostly European countries. Not that many, I would ony want to go to a few. I woul want to go to Spain just because of how nice i heard it was. Having unlimited amount of money i would have to stay in the nicest hotels and visit all the big cities. I would have to go see some soccer games while I was there as well. The other country i would want to go visit would be Germany. I am German so i would want to go to the country my ancestors were born in. I would have to see soccer games there to because my favorite soccer team is in Germany.
I would really want to go to some of the South American Countries to. I know that a lot of them have really nice cities and I would want to visit all of them. And of course being that soccer is my favorite sport I would have to go watch some soccer games there to.
Then i would have to go to the caribbean and just relax there. I would spend most of my time there. I would not care which country i would visit, just some where that i could relax. I guess i would travel to a few of them after getting bored of one of them.
Being that i have never been on a plane before this would be the way I would travel, but I would buy my own private plane so i would have no fear of terrorist. After spending a few weeks in the places where i would want to travel i would do that around the world in 80 days thing. Where i would just travel without any care where i would be going. Having 3 months to travel anywhere with unlimited amount of money gives you a lot to do and you do not really know what to do with it. Traveling to every country would be an ideal goal but i do not think i would want to do that.

Food

Any food that I eat really I consider a comfort food to me. Eating is defintely my favorite hobby that I have. I sed to want to be a competitve eater but I can only eat a lot not eat fast, and that is a huge problem. I'm not really sure if there is one type of food that I would consider to be my only comfort food. When ever I am in a bad mood or just need something to calm me down i just eat. Anything i can find i will just eat it, i am never really in a mood to eat a certain food I just get want I can get my hands on and eat away. It is a good thing i have a high metablosim otherwise I would be very fat and not skinny.
If i had to choose a comfort food though i guess I would have to choose poptarts. I would not say it gets me in a better mood than any other food i eat but it is just because i eat it the most. I have been eating poptarts my entire life. I have never once got sick of eating poptarts like i did when i was little with other foods. Ham defenitly used to be my favorite then i started to hate it for a long time, but as i got olde i started to enjoy it once again. However that was not the case for poptarts i could eat as much as i want whenever i wanted and i never got sick of them. I do not understand why because i have had so many poptarts throughout my entire life. I may not consider poptarts to be my comfort food but I do have comfort poptarts. There are so many types of poptarts and I do enjoy all types of poptarts there are 2 kinds that i consider to be my favorite. Chocalate fudge and smores. These are the two types of poptarts I eat the most and enjoy the most. These are the poptarts when i open my food cabinet and i see all the types of poptarts i look for the most. I will make sure i finish these two types before i start to eat any other kind. There is no real feeling i get when i eat poptarts just the feeling of satisfaction. It stops my hunger and that is really all i need when i eat.
There is one type of food that can put me in a food like no other. When i am tired but cannot fall asleep there is a food that gets me drowsey and it is not poptarts. It is american cheese. I do not know why it gets me tired but i do not question it that much. It just seems to always work whenever it is late at night and need to sleep. I do not eat american cheese usually unless i am eating a sandwhich but when i am tired i make the exception and just eat it because it gets the job done.

My brother for president?

I wish that I was able to run for something important inovlving the government. Whether if it was the President, governor or even just being the mayor of a town it would be a cool job to have. However I do not think that I would do a good job nor that people would like me. I feel that i have many opinions that people would disagree with and that would make it hard for me to get elected. I also feel that I would be unable to handle the amount of pressure that I would be under and I do my job poorly and start not to liking my position that I had and I would want to get out of office like many people would want me to. 
If I had to choose someone in my family to run for an position in the government I would have to choose my older brother. Now my brother and I pretty much have the same opinion on most things, but there are somethings he has better opinions on and he is a more like able person than I am. He also knows a lot more about politics than me and also I think that he would be able to handle the pressure from the job unlike me. I do not think that my brother would be the best person in my family to run for an government office, but he would be the person in my family that I would want to run for an government office. Personally I think my older sister would most qualified to run for a position. I would choose my brother mostly for what I said before that we pretty have the same views on most of the things going on in the world. I would not someone in office who I did not have the same views on things with. I am not which position would be best for my brother to have, but I just think him having one would be cool. I am not sure if him being president would be a good thing because he would just want to go to war with many countries and try to get rid of the entire middle east by dropping a huge atomic bomb over those countries. So him being president would not be a good thing and he would not really make the world that much better.
I think in order for my brother to have in a government position i do not think that he could not have a job with to much power. So mostly I think it would be bad for him to be president, but anything else would do. I know for a fact though if my brother tried to get something done that it would get done and he would do it fairly quickly. He is a person who tries to make things better and will not start anything that was not important until everything that needed to get done was done.

The word Wild

Many people use the word wild in many different ways. They make it so that one word has like four different meanings. A lot of the meanings people give the word wild do not make sense at all. Take the senior shirt this year. It says we are the wild things. I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean.I have never once in my life heard call any other person or a gropu of people the wild things. According to that movie "Where the Wild Things are" the wild things are some type of monsters and for us to use that saying we are the wild things it makes absolutley no sense one bit. If I were to try to interpret was that is supposed to mean I do not think that I were be able to do so. Trying to compare fictional monsters with humans i feel is nearly impossible.
The word wild has two meanings to me and thoughs meanings are the meanings that are used to define the word wild in the dictionary.The first meaning is when you are saying an animal is wild. I believe that everyone uses this denfintion of the word wild. The meaning of that wild is not tamed or is not a domestic animal. So anything that is in the jungle or forest or any place where they are not living with people but are living among other of there species would be considered wild. They do not have live in the the jungle or some where not occupied humans. Stray dogs or cats are I consider wild as well.
The other way I use the world wild is using it as another word for crazy or insane. I feel this is a way that many people use the word wild. I use the word wild in place for the word crazy because some times people may act like they are not tamed and the only way to describe them is they are acting crazy or they are acting like they are wild. There are many times where there are old people who call little kids wild or that they are acting wild. And there are some times where I just think that the word wild has the same meaning as the word crazy. There are also certain occasions where the word wild could be used the same as the word crazy. If there is some type of game the has a crazy finish some times people will say that game had an wild ending or that play was wild. Nick Cannon used to host a comedy show called "WIld and Out". On the show they would do a lot of funny sketches. Some of the sketches were just plain out crazy. It was the way the show was. It was called "wild and Out" because it sounds a lot better then crazy and out. So Nick Cannon decided to use a word that has another meaning for crazy.

Homework

Homework is usually required now for each class to have. How much hw that class gives is the teachers decision. I do not think that i recieve to much hw. I have not really seen any change in how much hw you can get in a class like i said before it is the teachers decision. Some classs like health though just give out hw because they need to put things in the grade book. Like my health class we have a current event do once a week. If i had to consider what class i got the most hw in it would be pre-calc. We get hw about 3 to 4 nights of hw a week. Four nights of hw might seem like a lot, but the amount of problems we get are ot a lot. My other classes do not give out that much hw.
My time management skills i can cleary say our just straight up pathetic. If do not do my hw in school then it will take me awhile to complete it. I have so many distractions at my house so it takes awhile for m to gt things done. A simple hw assignment can take me up to a little more thn a hour. If i have to do a project or write an essay it will take me much longer. I would say i average about 3 to 5 hours when doing either or those assignment. It is really a bad habit that I really need to get rid of. When I am in school doing hw that mans the hw I am doing is due some time that day. It will usually take about an entire period for me to finish that hw. If i could take that amount of time to do my hw at home it would help me so much.I do usually recieve hw on the weekends but it is usually only my blogs for this class and my writing class with Dr. Muller. Depending on what the topics are it could take me along time to do the blogs. Mostly because it is very easy to get distracted while working on a computer. 
I do not think to much hw is being handed out, i just think that students are just to lazy to do their hw or they just wait till 9pm to start doing all of it. Another factor could be because they have jobs and do sports and do not get home until late to start it. Although hw may be the most annoying things students have to do I find it vry helpful. Not in every class oly in certain classes. Mostly math because the more times you do a problem the easier it will become for you. I do not really consider myself a students who waits till the last minute. I try to do as early as possible but being extremely lazy and facing my time management skills make it hard for me to finish my hw on time

Being Alone

When i was a kid being home alone was the scariest thing my parents ever did to me. Once i reached the first grade my parents let me be home by myself. During the day i had no problem being alone, but once night time came i could not do it. I would stay in my room watching tv trying to keep my mind pre-occupied. It didn't really work that well though. I would always be constantly being looking out my window checking if anyone was there, always had to have my dog in my room to protect me incase someone were to come in my house. I would get so scared that i also kept my house phone with me at all times just in case something bad were to happen. I would imagine that if someone were to come in my house that i would have traps ready for them throughout my house even though i did not. I would pretend i was the kid from "Home Alone"
 and that I would be able to out smart anyone who dared to enter my household. I was always really parnoid and this just made me feel so much safer.
However once i got older i was able to deal with being alone and i started to enjoy it. I started to think being home alone was cool and prefered being home alone then home with my family. I just reall started to like being by myself and not having anyone bothering me. Although i was really scared for a long time. It probaly took me until middle school to get used to being home alone.It was a daily rutine for me and i did not just enjoy that alone time i craved that alone time. I was not, or still am not sure why i love being alone so much, it just makes me feel so good that i just have to worry about myself instead of my friends or family.
Now I am trying to cut down on my alone time and just try to hang with my friends more since it is my last year with them before we go to college. So i try to hang out with them for a majority of the week and have some days where its a me day. Like the weekends Friday and Saturaday I am find with hanging out with my friends for the entire day, but Sunday i do not like hanging out with anyone. I take it as a personal day. I really enjoy having Sundays to myself.
In the futur i do not want to have a wife and kids. I do not think i will be able to spend with a family and having a full time job. It would be hard to have my alone time which i despertley need. Having a job and a family would put so much stress on me that I feel I would need to be by myself for atleast three days. I cannot really see how people hate being alone. I love it so much and it completes some of my days.

Music

Music is everywhere and everyone loves it. Not everyone listens to the same type of music, but everyone in the world shares the same passion for music. You cannot hide from music because it is everywhere, on tv, on radios, in stores and so on. Music is very important to many people in the world and it helps them or inspires them in some type of way. I like to think that music is what makes the world goes round. It makes many people in the world very happy. Music helps bring cultures closer together and other cultures to understand one another. For majority of the cases the people who have deeper passion for music are the ones that play instruments.
I myself used to play an instrument. From 2nd to 5th grade i played the drums. I enjoyed playing them, but i did not really have an extreme passion for playing the drums. I was not bad but i was not good at the drums so that is why i felt i gave up on playing them. I had a lot of fun playing the drums but i did not have the passion that other musician had.
So now i just listen to the music that the professional musician make and enjoy that. I listen to pretty much all types of music besides folk music. I think it is better to listen to more types of music just so you can except the types of music others listen to. When i was younger i really only listened to rock music. Then as i grew older i started to listen to rap and hip hop, then country and pop music. Now that i listen to more types of music i feel i have more respect towards other cultures and just other people in general.
Music is important to me because i feel it helps me concentrate and calms me down. It is hard for me now in days to do anything without listening to music. When ever i do my hw i cannot stay concentrated without listening to music. A couple of years ago i always had trouble going to sleep every night then i started  to listen to music when i went to bed and it helped me out a lot. Now i am always listening to music before i go to sleep. Also listening to music is an easy way to get me pumped before a big game or something. Music makes me feel good and i really could not enjoy life without having music and just having music makes everything in the world so much easier to handle.
I also feel music helps the world connect with each other more. I also feel music helps other generations connect with each other. I feel the older you get the less appreciated of other types of music. But when you are younger yo appreciate more types of music old or new. Without music the world would completely suck and it would be harder to have people connect with one another. 

Cell Phones

Cell phones are now one of the biggest things that technology has to offer and has been on the rise in the past decade. So many kids are in love with their cell phone and are always on them. They rely on their own cell phones then many things in the world like their friends or their families. The kids in today's society are always texting one another or talking to one another in some other ways. Also there are apps now on cell phones, so there are so many kids that playing games on their cell phones just to past time. Kids now in days say that their cell phones are their most valuable possession and can function or would no be able to live without their cell phones. When the question if you were on a deserted island and you could bring one item what would that item be, so many kids would say they would pick their cell phone over anything else.
There are rarely any kids that do not use or have their own cell phones. I do not think that parents do not let their kids have their own cells phone that are in high school or junior high. I am pretty sure every kid in high school has a cell phone because now I see kids that are in second or third grade that have their own cell phones because their parents let them have them because it is part of the fads now in days. I think that the amount of time a kids spend on their phone really depends on how strict their parents are or how much money they have. If a kid gets a phone when they are young they will be on their phone a lot when they are older. If someone has strict parents they might be able to use their cell phones a lot.  Also the type of phone they have really rely on how much a kid will use their cell phone. If they have a very nice touch phone they would use it a lot more then a crappy little flip phone. If you have a more updated phone you would be able to do much more things on it.
I consider myself one of those kids who rarely uses their cell phone. I rarely use my cell phone because i do not really need it and i kind of hate having one. I keep telling my i do not need a cell phone and it is just a waste of money for me to have one. When i am on my own in college i do not plan on having my own phone. Majority of the time the reason i do not use my cell phone is because i rarely have my cell phone on me. My friends know that so they do not even text me any more they just come straight to my House to hang out. I also do not use my cell phone because i feel that technology will one day be the reason why the world will end so i try not to participate in using it so much.

Driving

The number of times i have been in a auto mobile, i can not say. The number is to high for me to possibly know. The number of times i actually pay attention to other drivers I don't think I can say either. When I am in a car not driving, I'm always looking outside the window. Always see the passing cars and the passengers in the car, but i never really see the passengers in the car. I am never really giving my full attention to the other people in the cars. I more of zoning my out when I am a passenger in the car and for me to notice something it has to be something interesting.
I don't have my own car so i rarely drive, and when I do drive its at like 11 o'clock at night when I am taking my dad to work. When i drive though that it when i notice most of the things that other drivers are doing. That is only because i have my friends drive me around all the time so I notice the things that they do that other drivers do. Most teenagers do the same things while they are driving. Texting, changing the cd or song on the ipod, talking on their cell phones and eating. The teenage drivers and adult drivers i notice have a big difference. Most teenagers are texting while adult drivers talk more on their cell phones. Also i see a lot of parents in their cars turning in the back seat to deal with their kids.
I do know the people with the nicer cars are the ones who are more reackless drivers. They drive faster then the speed limits and try to pass cars and cut people off. Also people from different states always drive in different ways because they have different driving rules from where they are from. New Yorkers for some reason tend to be the most agressive drivers. Also I notice that in some cases the bad drivers are the ones who tend to be the ones who have road rage. Honking the horn, flipping people off even though it is usaully there fault in the first place.
I do think that the way some people drive relfect the pesons personality. For most cases the agressive drivers are the ones who are jerks and complete tools. I know that my friends that don' follow the driving rules are the ones aren't the greastest people in real life. The friends i have that follow the rules are usally kind and good people. I also think the type of car the person has can reflect their personality to. I think that when i drive my driving style reflects my personality. I myself have never been in an accident and hopefuly I never will. The kind of driver i want to be is, just a normal good driver that won't ever get a ticket or get an accident.

Anger

Anger is defined as a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.Everyone gets angry but a lot of people get angry at different things. It is an emotion that many people have trouble controlling. I consider that it is the hardest emotion to control. Many people struggle with controlling it and need to go to anger management classes.
I can get angry at a lot things. I don't get as angry as I did when I was younger but it is still pretty bad. When I get angry I get really angry. I usually get angry over the stupidest things. Let me say first i hate losing. When i was younger i was really into video games and i lost a lot when i played them. See losing is kind of a reasonable way to get angry, but get angry over video game is a very dumb reason. So when i lost, didn't just lose the game, i lost my temper to. I'd play a game of madden  get blown out and then just start a hissyfit. I would use every curse word in my vocabulary and and throw anything that was in sight. I wouldn't punch anything because i didn't want to get hurt, but i put many holes in the wall from a ps2 remote or the tv remote. The best to handle that situation was to stop playing video games for awhile, so i did.
Now that i am older and more mature i learned to control my anger problems. Mostly because i just stopped caring about winning so much. I still hate losing with a passion but winning isn't everything to me now. So when i play video games and lose it doesn't bother me as much. Now i get angry at things like when people argue over extremely dumb things, even though it has nothing to do with me it just bothers me so much. Like my parents just have that caterogry covered. Also when you ask someone numerous times to stop doing something but they just continue doing it any way. Also when i'm doing something and my parents ask me to help them with somethinng i get pretty angry to. I don't understand why i just can't help it. I am aslo a very impatient person so i can't stand in long lines for very long.
The way I control most of my anger problems by having a clicky pen i just keep clicking it. Its like a stress ball to me, it keeps me pre-occupied and just helps me a lot. Like when I'm in the lunch room waiting to get my food it helps a lot having a clicky pen with me. Its the best strategy i have to help me control it. But i don't think it helps me that much because i think the best way to get rid of anger it just to flip out or something. Like when i used to throw remotes i felt like all of the anger just left me and i was really relieved. Now however i always feel like there just anger in me waiting to be unleshed. When i get angry i try to be alone if im going to curse or thrown things because i don't want to see me doing something stupid or saying something that might hurt them. The only advice I would have for someone would be just to find something that can help them get the anger out like find a happy place or something else. 

friends

Having friends make going through life so much easier. The number of friends doesn't really matter because its just better to have some friends then not to have friends at all. No matter if what the case is, you do just want those two or three friends you can always count on and will be there for you.
Many people now have a lot of "kind of" friends just to fit in with other crowds. The more friends you have the more popular you are. No one now in days really take consideration on who there true friends really are. Kids for instance hang out with other kids who drink or smoke just to make themselves look cooler. And those are the types of kids who leave there real friends behind and hang out with "kind of" friends. Having one good friend in my opinion isn't enough you need at least three really good ones.
I have never personaly known some one with hundreds of friends they actually know. I do however know people who have over 1,000s of friends on facebook. And those are usaully the kids that have a lot of friends and not a few close ones. Having over 1,00 friends on facebook doesn't really do much cause of many of those friends do you actually know. I don't think friends with many friends are happier than those with only a few friends. I think just having some friends can make any one happy.
 You can have numerous friends, or a few friends but in the end it doesn't matter how many friends you have it just matters that you have friends to go through life with and you always know will be there for you.
