Evan's REALLY awesome site

Haha... Good Old Times.

2010-10-29T16:55:00.001-07:00

Looking back at this blog I must say I've shared quite some embarrassing stuff with you guys, and I've been distrustful and misleading. I'm just laughing my head off looking at this!

Anyway I'm now going to begin a new blog, "Let's Play with dudesky1000", because I have begun my sad, torturous career as a Let's Player! I will post a summary with each new video (Currently I have 2 games going on, Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 64), and I hope you will enjoy my adventures more than I do!

I'm not sure where my Awesome Site will head to next, but until next time, keep being REALLY Awesome!

This is me

Mario Kart Wii Tournament Recap

2008-07-26T09:08:00.000-07:00

To start off, we (Ruben and I) watched a few of the other competitors practice, and we waited impatiently for the tournament to begin. The tournament rules were standard knockout. Two names would be called, and the winner would face the next person in line. The matches were best-of-three, with Rainbow Road as a tiebreaker At the end of the line, whoever was victorious would win. When the referee in charge came up to start, he called my name and another kid's name. He looked about 8 or 9 or so, and I felt slightly bad about having to race him right away.

Round 1

Course 1 - Luigi Circuit

As I expected, this was the first race of the tournament. It was pretty straight-forward. I won somewhat easily and some of the people in line were talking about my racing (I think they were saying something about swift movements???). I won by a little over half a lap and the next race was...

Course 2 - Coconut Mall

Another (swift???) race and I got to show off some of my technical skills (doing tricks off of escalators, stairs, etc.) which successfully intimidated the crowd that was forming behind me. Also a win by about a half of a lap, and before I knew it, the next person in line was racing me.

Round 2

Course 1 - Daisy Circuit

This was the first time my opponent actually played the game, so it was almost a steamroll when he lost his way and started going backwards...

Course 2 - GCN Peach Beach

He started off much better than last time, and even almost had a small lead over me, but it didn't last. After a short while he lost his way and by then it was over. His pal was next to play.

Round 3

Course 1 - N64 Sherbet Land

By coincidence, it turned out it was this guys first time playing too. He spent most of his time figuring out the controls and items system and bumping into walls while I weaved through the course (some were gasping how well I was maneuvering)

Course 2 - DS Desert Hills

Just like his friend, he got a little better by the second race, but I got lucky with some good items at the start (mega mushroom, triple red shells) that gave me an inevitable lead. That is when I heard that Ruben was next...

Round 4 (Ruben's turn)

Ruben walked up confidently and prepared for my demise. I laughed and said not to get his hopes up. Instead of coming up with a decent comeback he did one of his you're stupid smiles.

Course 1 - SNES Mario Circ-- "Wait can't we do another race???" Ruben instantly said, knowing that SNES Mario Circuit 3 is my absolutely best course. "No way Ruben, that's messed up" I said. "You just don't want me to demolish you right away... fine. Do Peach Gardens..."

The REAL Course 1 - DS Peach Gardens

As always, Ruben started off by putting up a good fight. We stayed neck-and-neck for about a lap and a half, which made the crowd burst with excitement (they thought somebody might actually beat me!), but after we started the third lap he had gotten hit with a few shells, maing it almost impossible to win. Seems like it didn't matter I wasn't in my best course because I placed 1st and he stopped after I won and waited for the next race.

Course 2 - GCN DK Mountain

After the Ref. picked this course, I thought to myself... "dammit! He always used to beat me here in the Gamecube version!" As I predicted, not even halfway through the lap he had a lead on me and the crowd was going wild yelling both of our names (by this time we had some fans in the store). On the second lap he got hit by a blue shell right before the cannon and I took the lead while thanking him for being in first place for me. By the third lap though, he got the best of me and we were extremely close on the final bridge. I wheelied slowly to the finish line and he just finished ahead of me. When the results got out that we were going into a tiebreaker race everybody in the store came to watch. People we cheering me on to comeback and win, as were the others rooting Ruben on to dethrone me.

Tiebreaker - Rainbow Road

Yes, people were going absolutely insane at the fact I might be defeated, but I didn't think that Ruben would be able to beat me here (I was tutoring him on how to do well in this course just an hour before). Anyway, he stayed right behind me for about a lap, but it wasn't long before he cracked and fell off of the course. This was followed by him falling about 3-4 more times and me beating him in the end. He pulled of a great showing, and when I lost, it was a wake up call.

Round 5

Course 1 - Moo Moo Meadows

A fresh start and a new person. This was a course I was comfortable with after Rainbow Road, and I made short of this race.

Course 2 - DS Yoshi Falls

Another, very short race, where items can be a deciding factor. Unfortunately for my opponent, it was not.

Round 6

Course 1 - DK Summit

Not to be repetitive, but this race was very similar to Moo Moo Meadows with the last guy. I even had extra time to hang out in the half pipe to do about ten tricks!

Course 2 - Maple Treeway

I also did a pretty short job here. Somehow in the middle of the race we got into a conversation about how pretty the course was (???).

Round 7

Course 1 - Koopa Cape

This guy raced slightly better than his friends, even though he was no match for Koopa Cape. If I remember correctly, just about this time some wrong number from Washington kept on calling my cell phone, which was annoyingly buzzing around in my pocket. Also during this time I got into a conversation about old mario kart games and movies (yes, I'm quite the multi-tasker). After this long course came a somewhat troublesome one for me...

Course 2 - Wario's Gold Mine

I start the race... we enter the gold mine... it's pretty close... and then... I FALL??? It was the first time I had fallen all day, and loud gasps were coming from the crowd. In the end, it didn't really matter because I nearly lapped him.

Round 8 (The last one on line)

Course 1 - Dry Dry Ruins

Honestly, I was surprised in how this race ended up. I made very short work of my opponent and Dry Dry Ruins isn't even one of my better courses. It was around the finish when somebody walked into the store, watched a little, and asked if he could join. He was wearing shades and wasn't even here for the Mario Kart tournament (he came for the evening Gears of War tournament) and he said he had never played before. I confidently accepted, but it would end up being a very dumb mistake (my ego was controlling me at this point).

Course 2 - Toad's Factory

During this entire race Ruben was giving me a cold stare (this was the only race he could beat me in during our practice that morning) and I was quick to eliminate this contender.

Round 9 (the FINAL round where Evan makes a dumb mistake!)

I accepted the challenge and so did the Ref, so he went up and we began...

Course 1 - N64 Mario Raceway

Per usual, my stupid inflated ego knew that this was one of my 'always win' courses and I went into my normal racing mode to give him somewhat of a chance (can't completely stand-over a first-timer!). Little did I know he was a natural at this game and he destroyed me with items while he took a good lead. I realized the I had either been dooped or overconfident, so I went into intense game-mode and took the lead again. By the third lap I was doing okay, but then a blue shell came to get me... then another one... and a third??? After this really unlucky chain of events I had no chance of coming back and had to accept defeat. The crowd was silenced and people were quietly cheering for me to come back and give them a show-stopping finish. It all depended on what course the Ref. chose next...

Course 2 - SNES Ghost Valley 2

And this was probably the worst course I could've gotten. This race usually only lasts a minute long and is entirely item based. I was already unlucky for one thing, but this was another. When the race started I could feel myself trembling. I was in the lead by a little, but my opponent had lightning and waited for the perfect moment to use it... Right when I was near a hole in the bridge he used it and I plummeted off of the course. He got some mushrooms and was already halfway through the final lap. Over where I was, almost finished with my second lap, I tried to soar ahead. I picked up a mega mushroom, and got to about 5th place. I also picked up a triple mushroom item and flew to second place. He was on the home stretch, about 2-3 seconds to the finish, when a blue shell shot at him and he was sent flying in the air. I used the opportunity to get to the front and finished the race! Everyone was screaming my name and knew that watching had payed off. They would get to see me vs. my rival in Rainbow Road!

Tiebreaker - Rainbow Road

We both started well, but for my rival it didn't last long, as Rainbow Road proved to be too tough, even for a lucky beginner. I cruised through the course and almost beat him by a lap. Everyone was celebrating that I had pulled off a miracle, and congratulated me on my big finish. The Ref. shortly came back with my prize and I left a champion- not to mention this was my very first video gaming tournament ever, and that I knocked off everyone that showed up from the very first race. Post comment or questions please!

BIG MARIO KART WII TOURNAMENT TODAY!!!

2008-07-25T18:24:00.000-07:00

Yes, there was a big Mario Kart Wii tournament today at my local GameStop, and guess who entered... (yes, that was full of sarcasm...) ME! And, I also invited my pal Ruben to compete for the prize (A GameStop gift card). After signing up for the tournament, we hung around the store for a while, trying to figure out a broken X-Box controller and watched a kid on line buy at least 20 games! (The cashier was in distress when he saw the order). I will be recapping the results of the tournament in the next post, but be warned, there is a lot of action!

Seven Days... To Freedom

2005-12-29T15:45:00.000-08:00

Seven Days… To Freedom
By Evan Wood

Class genius Phillip Selvir was getting ready for the first day of school. He couldn’t wait to become a fifth grader. Phillip lived in a hot state, where winters weren’t always snowing.
In the morning, Phillip hopped on the bus, and ran down Johnson hill.
“Whaz up, buddy?” Phillip would say to his best friend, Egge Goldeen. Ever since Kindergarten, ever since, thought Phillip.
Every morning, Phillip and Egge would walk to Mr. Koga’s science class, run up Johnson hill, so they could go to Egge’s place. Egge liked racing. He was pretty fast himself. He was also good at tennis. He liked watching the new color TV, but he kept the black and white one too.
“Not’in’ much” he would reply. It was almost time for the walk back to school.
“Ahh!” screamed a child.
“And don’t be comin’ back!” the security guard said as he kicked someone out of the school.
“Who was that?” asked Phillip.
“Oh, just one of them boys who got no education. You know, those inferior kids think that the world revolves around them. I think that they better get a nice attitude, or else they won’t have a life no more!”
Egge walked by.
“Whaz up buddy? Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Do you know what the word racist means?” Phillip asked.
“No.” Egge replied.
“Well, it means to treat someone differently because of their skin color. Racism is a bad thing,” Phillip thought as he walked to sixth period.
Phillip got angry, walked down the hallway to the ol’ readin’ room, and then… Gasp! There was a shadow of a person.
“Now! Git! C’mon! We don’t have much time. Put it on!” Phillip wondered what the shadow of a person meant. But he was too frightened to find out. So he ran back to Egge to continue their conversation.
“I’m so tired of following these rules, and watching kids get beat up!” Phillip exclaimed.
“Then, go to court!” Egge joked.
“That’s a perfect idea!” yelled Phillip.
“Wait. I was just joking!” said Egge.
“It ain’t gonna happen!” said Judge Peterson.
“But Sir,” Phillip replied.
“Not’in’ is gonna let ya’ll do that, now GIT!!! Security, keep this boy in ‘til he’s twenty!”
“No!”
“Your activism ain’t belongin’ here!”
“Wait!” yelled a different voice.
“My name is Ed, and I say, put him down now!” The security ran away as if a bull were chasing them. Phillip thought at that very moment, time to end these rules.
Before Phillip could say anything, he thought, they’re not gonna let me just get rid of these rules. Time for a super Selvir brainstorm! … That’s it!
“I’m offering to make a deal,” said Phillip. “If I can, that is.”
“Let me hear it,” answered Judge Peterson.
“If me and -- ” Phillip was interrupted.
“I’ve got it!” yelled Peterson.
“If you and Ed can stay in the same house for a week, I will change everything! Now, I’m gonna have to show you the rules, ‘cause I ain’t tol’ratin’ no cheatin’! One, no leaving the house, I mean it! Two, we will install a camera in the house; it will be a small one. You must treat each other nicely! And three, if there are any injuries, it’s over! You will start tonight!”

When they got to the house, they felt great!
“And… we start, NOW!” Ed yelled as the clock struck 12.
As the week went by, they were fine, treating each other perfectly, and they stayed in the house.
The only thing that Phillip wondered about, was why Ed had been putting on an evil grin, although he wasn’t acting like that. Days 1-7 didn’t put it flat, so when time was up, Phillip was in for a surprise.
“3… 2… 1… Well, that’s it, the seven days are up. Congrats on finishing your experiment.” Said Ed as he left the house.
“Ah, better get my stuff.” Said Phillip as he walked toward his bags. Ssshhh! The TV turned all jittery.
“What the –” Phillip said surprised.
A newsman appeared on the screen. Phillip ran over to the TV to find a small trail of shreds of white paper, leading outside.
“There is an undercover student that is actually working for the triple K,” the newsman said. At least it’s not Ed! Phillip thought nervously.
“His undercover first name appears to be Ed.”
“Oh God!” screamed Phillip.
“Come one, come all, and donate to the Phillip Selvir thing!” yelled a Kindergartner.
“Hey, don’t ya think he should be back by now?” asked another.
“Yeah, it’s a owa afta 12.”
Back at the house…
“And according to the highest courts of Miami, Phillip Selvir will be in trouble!”
“They all set me up. I should’ve known they wouldn’t let me do this!” said Phillip, as if he weren’t afraid, but oh yes, he was scared to death. And suddenly, triple K members toppled over him, and then, he knew no more. When Phillip woke up, he was tied to a cross, and Ed was standing right in front with a box of matches.
“They don‘t call me Dead Ed for nothin’!” said dead Ed. “Your plan might have worked, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a victim to us! And guess what, as soon as I heard about your idea, the Judge and I made a plan of our own! So, you really came out here for nothing, except being killed! Heh heh!”
“I knew something like this would happen,” whispered a familiar voice.
Egge!” yelled Phillip, “You’ve come to save me!” From that moment, Phillip thought they were safe.
“Egge who!” yelled Ed.
“Egge me!” said Egge in a heroic voice, as he jumped down from the small rooftop onto Ed. And as he did that, triple K members caught him.
“Well, thanks for at least trying to save me, Egge,” said Phillip. We are dead for sure, Egge thought.
“On the count of three, we will set you on fire,” yelled Ed.
“One,” chanted the bad guys. “Two, Three!”
“Hut!” yelled a voice in the distance. A Kindergartner! Two! Ten! A hundred, a thousand! Millions of them! And then, all at once, they all charged into the bad guys, and quickly tied them to the cross, as they untied Phillip and Egge. Amazing! Phillip thought.
“Awesome! Phillip and Egge yelled.
“It was like, me and you were like on death’s door, when suddenly, everyone just saved the day!” Phillip said.
“Totally!” agreed Egge. “To court!”
I’ve changed the world, Philip thought.
“Nope, sorry, you have obviously been injured.” Peterson explained.
Right then the crowd wondered, he doesn’t look injured at all!
The crowd all complained at once as Phillip showed who this Judge really cared for.
“All right! Yelled Peterson. “You can change one rule, and one for the people of this State!” Phillip thought, what do I care for the most part??? That’s it!
“Well, lets have a little talk about schools.”

A Ping Pong Story

Ping Pong Story
By Evan Wood
12/17/04

It was a very dark day in Japan. Two best friends were in a tennis stadium. But they weren’t playing tennis, they were in the small room, in the small hallway that was in the practice hut.
Ping! A young boy hit the ball. Pong! A man who played against the boy returned. But the ball hit the net. The man was about 4 years away from his retirement, and yes, they were playing ping pong! But the man’s name was Shiomoto S. The boy, Christopher S., would start to play in the Olympics in a few years. Shiomoto just happened to be the worst player in the world. But he wanted to become number 1 when he retired. Shiomoto had remembered the last Olympics just a week ago. Shiomoto was beaten easily while the other guy dominated the first round. Surely enough, Shiomoto didn’t want to retire a loser.
Shiomoto’s ping pong tournament records were empty, to tell the truth Shiomoto had never got through the second round before, so that was his small goal. His big goal, was to make it to the quarter finals at least.
Christopher was about 18 years old. Yes, he could be in the Olympics now, but he needed practice, training and skills which were speed and power.
After about 47 matches of Christopher winning, Shiomoto gave up. Christopher was not related to Shiomoto, it was just a coincidence.
Shiomoto walked down the streets discouraged. He wanted to retired right now. So Shiomoto walked down to tell the ping pong people that he was ready to sign the retirement papers. But then he saw something. Number one tennis player Roger Federer, who was playing so well. Shiomoto wanted to learn how to play so well like that! After Federer stopped playing, Shiomoto ran right over to him and asked Federer if he could train him. Federer didn’t understand one word which is why they had to use white boards to communicate. Federer said yes, and they started to practice the next day.
Four years later…
After a long, long, long, long, long, long time, Shiomoto was a great player. Roger Federer was no longer number 1. Shiomoto began to think if he had the best trainer or not.
Throughout the four years, Shiomoto did not play in any tournaments. He spent that time training. Christopher S. had the number 1 player, Carlos Moya, for his trainer!
Shiomoto also noticed that he hadn’t achieved any of his goals since he made them. Shiomoto hadn’t entered any tournaments for a reason, to surprise the other players with skill.
Dadadada! The people played their brass instruments. It was time for the Summer Olympics.
“Do you think Shiomoto will come?” a player asked.
“I don’t even think he qualified” said another.
“I hope he comes” said Christopher S.
“Sorry kid, but that man hasn’t entered a contest in years.”
“But not this time. I’m ready to retire, and I’m ready to WIN!”
“Who said that?!” a player asked.
“Shiomoto S., that’s who.”
“The first round will begin in five minutes.” A voice called out.
“Will S. Ji, and S. Shiomoto, please walk to the tables for the first round.”
Shiomoto was very worried. He had lost to S. Ji about 90% on his loss records. S. Ji wasn’t the only player to beat Shiomoto, only most of his losses had gone to S. Ji.
So Shiomoto and S. Ji walked to the table and the match began. Oh no! Shiomoto thought. Oh yea! S. Ji pictured a trophy in his hand.
Ping! An ace! Which means a serve that scores a point. Wow! the ball flew right past him, and guess who got that point. Shiomoto S. that’s who!
Shiomoto was stunned, frozen, at first he thought he was seeing things. He put on his glasses to find out that he wasn’t seeing things.
Ping! S. Ji couldn’t believe it. 0 – 2, Shiomoto had scored before, but he never led 0 – 2! Shiomoto looked in the crowds to see if Federer was there, but there was no sight of him.
Shiomoto was soon leading 3 sets to 1. S. Ji couldn’t believe it. S. Ji lost, and he was taken out of the Olympics.
Later in the tournament, Shiomoto beat the top 5 players, and he was in the Olympic final! Shiomoto was so eager to find out who he was going to play. But when he found out, he did not know what to do.
“Will Shiomoto S. and Christopher S. please come to the table for the final round.”
Christopher did not know that Shiomoto was the greatest player yet, so he expected to have an easy match.
Do you really still think that you’re better than me?” Shiomoto asked.
“Yep” said Christopher.
“Of course!”
So they began the final Round. Here was Shiomotos’ plan: he would destroy him in the first 3 sets, and when he had match point, he would let Christopher win that set, and he would do that until it was a dead tie. And when it was 20 –20, Shiomoto would take the point to make it look like he would take the gold metal, but he’ll let Christopher take that point so he’ll look like the best player in the world. Then he’ll give Christopher his match point, so he wouldn’t feel bad.
Now, Christopher’s plan was this:
Just take him out in straight sets and shove it in his face! I mean come on! I wanna win!
The First Point
Ping! Shiomoto served. This seems familiar. WAIT A SECOND! Christopher doing a backflip and then hitting the ball! That’s crazy!
The ball flew right past Shiomoto, who was frozen with disbelief. Cartwheels, jumps , on-the-table shots! It was unbeatable. And, Shiomoto hadn’t won a point yet.
Christopher soon had the lead, 3 – 0 sets. He had match point. Just then, something made Christopher think, Shiomoto is retiring, I should let him come back and win.
So, Christopher let Shiomoto make his way to the final set. 3 – 3 the score glowed. 10 –10, this was the Olympic point for both of our players. Shiomoto was still following his plan, but Christopher, who was about to serve, got to decide who lost…
Ping! Christopher served a fast serve; so fast, that it flew right past Shiomoto. And so fast, that it didn’t even hit the table. Shiomoto won the Olympics, achieved his goals, and retired. Shiomoto had become number 1, and Christopher was discouraged because he hadn’t meant to make that mistake.
It was a very dark day in Japan. Two best friends were in a tennis stadium. And those two people were Christopher S. and Ginzu S., who were in the small room, in the small hallway that was in the practice hut. It was a very ping-pong ending.

The End!

Phil's Punch problem

Phil’s Punch Problem
By Evan Wood

It was another boring day at school and it was time for report cards and guess who got all 4s? Phillip Selvir, class genius, but it would take him a week to score a basketball! And two weeks to hit a baseball, three weeks to score a touchdown, and even a MONTH to get a point in tennis! But his I.Q. was so high, he was doing division in kindergarten.
After 5 years of being bullied, Phillip cannot take it any more, but if he is extremely smart, why isn’t he using his brain? Flash back to kindergarten where it all began.
It was another regular day in kindergarten until the teacher came in with this big kid.
“Class, I’d like you to meet our new student, Sylvester John III.”
“Call me Socks!” he screamed.
“You mean the sweaty kind?” my friend Egge chuckled.
“No! The punching kind!” he shouted. The teacher took it as a joke and laughed.
“Choose your seat now… uh, Socks, anywhere you want.” He dashed into his new seat, next to me!
He started talking to the other big kid in my class, Anthony… , well… just Anthony. A note landed on my desk.

From Anthony, send to Socks:
What’s your name?
PHILLIP SELVIR
I wrote my name down: Phillip Selvir. Then another note landed.
“Give me your lunch money or you’re dead.”
Anthony and I entered the closet area.
“You’ll get bullied at recess time!” Later, during recess .…
“Time for the gravy grab turkey face! Anthony yelled in a tough voice.
“And you will get some lip-smacking hot sauce!” Socks yelled.
“Give me your lunch money!” Socks demanded. I gave him $5.
“Not enough,” Socks hollered. “I know you have more or my name is not The Third of John, Sylvester!” he continued.
“I will not leave until you cry, or sob, or wail!” So, that afternoon, I had nothing to eat and was starved. So I sat down and wondered, “What should I do? When should I do it? What?” The thought echoed in my brain: “What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?” Then I thought one deep question, “How long will this go on?”
Socks grabbed Eg’s shirt.
“Give me your lunch money or you’ll get the lunch special, a fist sandwich!”
I came in. Anthony came in.
“Hey Selvir!” Socks asked, “want some punch?” I loved punch!
“Yes! I shouted. BAM! The pain went down my back so hard, I cried and raced down the yard so fast it dried out the tears…
Fast forward to now, 5 years later.
“Are you gonna get me Selvir?” I ran to my secret hiding place and, well, hid!
“I cannot let him bully me forever!” I told myself.
“Time for a Super Selvir brainstorm! That’s it! I remembered what Socks said!
“I won’t leave until you cry, or sob, or wail. I can ignore him! Back at recess, “You’re dead!” he punched me, he punched me again. And again, and again. I stood still.
“Stop that! He screamed.
“Say ‘Ow’ or something!” he wailed, “Whaaaaaa!” he cried in terror.
I had won, loss to champ, sad to happy, pawn to King, King to Ace, Ace to the crazy joker. “I am the King!” I shouted with victory. “King!”
Then I revisited my question, “How long? Five years and 2 hours.” Just then there was a deep silence.
“Excuuuuuuse me!” Mr. Ed said in a loud voice. “Come with me now!”
I looked back at Socks, his face all red like a cherry, and screaming at the top of his lungs. I felt terrible.
At the principal’s office… “Suspended,” I thought. I have gone crazy joker to Ace, Ace to King, King to Pawn, happy to sad, and champ to loss. I have learned my lesson, and I bet Sylvester John III has too.

Cool stuffs

2005-09-26T20:35:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'm now going to tell you some cool things that are not so cool, and these days, if you do these, you are officially uncool, unless you don't want to be doing these things, but you are also uncool.

1. No Drugs! When you smoke, your lungs turn darker and darker, and guess what happens as soon as you smoke for a year, a month, and even a week. Your lungs collapse leading to your death. And even when you start, you can't stop. Nope. The stuff in the drug causes you to want more and more. So as soon as you take that first stick, it's over for you. Smoking is also a form of suicide.

2. No Drinking! Drinking is death! WHEN YOU DRINK, YOU ARE KILLING YOURSELF! You drink when you're angry at yourself, and I understand that, BUT YOUR JUST ENDING YOUR LIFE! DO NOT DRINK! Drinking is addicting, and is ALSO a form of suicide.

3. No Fast Food! So, you are walking down the street saying, I'm gonna go to wendy's, I, ROCK! Well, this is the version that means the same thing, but in different words.
I'm gonna go get poisoned, I, SUCK!
All of those fast foods, Wendy's, Burger king, and yes, even MCDONALDS (Especially them!) I dare you right now, to buy some mcdonald french fries, put them in a jar, buy regular resturant french fries, and put them in a jar, keep them in there for 12 MONTHS, YES, A YEAR! You might then say, see, Mcdonald's french fries dont get bad, they are the best, but BOY OH BOY YOU ARE WRONG! Think of the chemicals, the bad ones, in your digestive system! It's Killing You! Yep, it's a form of suicide!

4. AND NO SUICIDE! Now, count how many eyes you have, how many ears, and fingers. That's 14. subtract the number of hairs on your head. Stop at zero. Add how many mouths you have. You should have ONE. That, is how many bodies, lives, and chances you have to save your self. If you Commit Suicide, it's over. There is no lives after that, so think to yourself, You can try to fix your life, or you can end it.

I have no more to say, and I hope you read this.

Wow! What a life saver!

2005-09-25T21:10:00.000-07:00

Hello, want to hear a little trivia fact about the candy, Lifesaver?

So, tell me something about, why does the candy have a hole in the middle?
And tell me why Lifsavers are the safest candies in the world.
And what happens when you swallow any other solid hard candy?

It all started when the creater of lifesaver's brother, swallowed a solid hard candy and choked almost to death.
As the boy grew older, he designed a candy that was safe to swallow. A candy that had a whole in the middle so that the air pipe would not be blocked, but air would still be able to flow through so you could breathe, even though the candy was stuck inside your throaght, because of the hole in the middle. I bet you would live if you tried it, but I do not advise it at all, YOU ONLY SWALLOW IT WHOLE WHEN IT IS AN ACCEDENT, AND NOT TO DO FOR FUN. IT IS MORE OF AN EMERGENCY CAUSE.

Now, I hope you learned a thing or two about candy, and if you already knew that, that's cool too.
Bye Bye, Lemon dye!

Helooooo. If you had to creat an ideal city of your choice, what would you do, and what would your Big City look like?
Mine would have tall buildings, and every building would have it's own creative way.
My building would have a dark lobby, where there are lights all over, so it would look like you were in space.

The 1st floor would be an indoor garden, where all kinds of plants, even undiscovored ones would grow, for all residents to see.

The 2nd floor would be the kitchen, where only the finest chef would cook your favorite foods.
The 3rd floor would be the inventor's kitchen, where food scientists would create new, undiscovered foods, where people can mix their favorite foods together, to find a new product.

The 4th, a dance floor. Don't be afraid to show your moves, just as long as you go with the groove, the dance floor would open at 12: noon, and close at midnight!

The 5,9,14,17,18,23,8,15,27,and 29 floors are apartments, HUGE apartments!

floor 6, would be a meeting room, for, you know, meetings!

The 7th floor, would be a gift shop, for just plain shopping!

the 10th, a school, for the people who would like to learn.

The 11th floor, would be a library, and you could find your favorite books, and read them!

Floor number 12, Is SO a Movie Theater!
Floor thirteen does not even exist, for it is only a dark room, of which you enter, but never come out.

Okay, floor 16, is The Music Blaster room, with gigantic stereos, and high tech amps, you cand do just about anything!

The 19th floor is DEFINITLY a Snack Bar, along with a breakfast bar, a cafe, a lunch bar, and a resturant for fancy dinners.

Floor # 20 is a tv room, with TVs as big as walls!
21 is the video game room.
22 is the Movie making room.

Floor 24 is a swimming pool, because everybody needs one.

Floor 25 is the News room. where you can own the news!

Floor 26 is the Quiz show room, where you can show off your brain!

Finaaaly,Floor 28 is the gym! Includin every sport ever!!!

And floor # 30, is my favorite, The Zero Gravity Room! This place is zero gravity, because all of these floors are sooooo tall, this one is in outer space, but in side, with oxygen!

THIS IS SO MY BUILDING, but this is only part of the city! I would like YOU to make your own city right now! Well, Start!

A great story for a friend, part three!

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will

end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special

and important. Tell them, before it is too late.

The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching

out to those you care about.

Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others

comes back into your own.

May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As You Are >

A great story for a friend, part two.

2005-09-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

Several years later, one of the students was killed in Viet Nam.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him

took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the

coffin.

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to

her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?"e asked. She nodded:"yes."Then he

said:"Mark talked about you a lot." After the funeral, most of Mark's

former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father

were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of

his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you

might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook

paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The

teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she

had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about

him.

"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see,

Mark treasured it."All of Mark's former classmates started to gather

around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list.

It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.""I

have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her

wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this

with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she

continued: "I think we all saved our lists."That's when the teacher

finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who

would never see him again.

Make sure to catch the coclusion, in part three soon!
