10/25-10/29-Hilarious incid3nt

Recently there have been many hilarious incidents, most of the participating in school. But the one that sticks out the most happen recently this week, actually yesterday. It was first block of school while we were in Phys. Ed. Class. We all played ultimate Frisbee and when the class was over rushed to get into the locker room. While showering after Gym Class we were all in rush because we were held late already. Out of nowhere the fire alarm goes off. While we all stood in the shower covered in soap suds the look of confusion spread across all our faces. No one knew what we should do. It was not like they train us for situations like that at all, so we stood there speechless. All of us consisting of Nate Bailey, Ty Stoldt, Steve Anstett, Nick Foss, Chase Huston, Dakota Peel , and Nick Orlowski had to start screaming because we were entirely out of control. We couldn’t keep ourselves under control because we had no idea what to do. I was completely soaked and covered in soap and there was no way to just throw on some shorts and head outside. So after contemplating what we should do, which seem like an eternity, we started to dry off and throw our shorts and shirts on. There were a lot of confused faces out there as to what was going on until Mr. Carll walked in and yelled for us to get our thing on and go out the door. We started to walk in the gym, and of course still screaming because it was clearly the funniest thing ever, when Mr. Macowan walked into the gym screaming the cut it out and asking what we were thinking. After hearing that, we got ourselves under control and went out the side doors. By that time it was too late and the drill was already over. It’s hard to say if we would have survived if it was a real fire. We acted late in the evacuation process but if we stayed in the shower we could have fought the flames off for a few more minutes of our lives.

10/25-10/29 Ryans freetime

I seem as if every day we find something to talk about dealing with Ryan Pinkowski in our Online Publishing class. It ranges from his style of music he likes, to him never getting any work done in class, which brings us back to his music. He likes to listen to music during class which takes a lot of time away for other important things such as articles and blogs. But the question given this week happens to revolve around a blog. One of the blogs is about what do you think Ryan Pinkowski does in his free time. I wonder if he will complete this blog even when it is about himself. I would be very disappointed in him for passing over an easy opportunity to receive a grade. But let’s get to the question of the blog. The question states, what you think Ryan Pinkowski does on his free time. If I had to imagine what he would do it would start with work. I know he works at Carbone’s Pizzeria so a lot of his time is accounted for there. But when not at work I could see him listening to some music at home or out with a friend doing something entertaining. I don’t think his life away from school is out of the ordinary or different in anyway. I could be very wrong though. I don’t spend a lot of time with him so I could not tell you exactly what he actually does. It could be something so strange that you may cry when you find out what he actually does, or even amazed that he might help cats stuck in trees or something. I guess we will never know what actually happens in Ryan’s free time unless you spend the day with him or you enter his mind somehow.

10/25-10/29 Who Do I Look Up To?

If I had to pick someone in this class to look up to, or even in the school, it would have to be Nate Bailey (AKA The Boss). You might say Nate Bailey is just another student here at Alden Senior High School, but that statement happens to be false. Since Nate is a Boss anything is possible including things that you can’t even think of. Boss’ make things happen. Given the reason I look up to him. For example, since Nate is a boss he is able to do pretty much whatever he wants. It must be nice to go around and do what you want when you want and talk back to your parents. Since Nate Bailey was born a Boss he has nothing to worry about for his entire life. I wish my life could be laid out like that already. Things would be much easier that way. There are a limited number of Boss’ in the world today and it is not easy to accomplish such a magnificent goal. You’re either born a Boss or you are named one by another. So you can’t just go around calling yourself a Boss. I bet everyone looks up to a Boss like Nate Bailey because of how easy his life style is. If he’s hungry he just yells down stairs for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And when his mother brings it up, he complains about not having any milk. So she goes back down stairs and pours him a cup. Life in general will be so much easier for me if I was like Nate. I would be able to do everything and always be in control. Nate’s ego is another thing to look up to. How could you not want to be like someone who talks to them self in the third person and is admired by himself and others.

10/18-10/22 - Scariest Movie

Around this time of the year I really enjoy watching horror movies. These movies are my favorite because they get your heart racing. Especially if they are good, then you feel the boost of adrenaline while watching. For some reason it is just a rush when you get scared and it is enjoyable after. The scariest movie I happened to see was "White Noise". This movie is about a man named Jonathan Rivers whos wife suffers a violent death. As he tries to get over her death he heads of to work when he is approached by a man who claims he has contacted Jonathan's wife through EVP. EVP stands for Electronic Voce Phenomenom, and they figure out it was indeed Jonathan's wife they contacted. Soon Jonathan becomes very obsessed with contacting his wife he stops everything to sit around all day and listen to static and watch it on the TV's. The mna that contacted Jonathan's wife initially is found dead and Jonathan is warned not to continue doing this because it is very dangerous. Without taking the advice, Jonathan continues and is followed by three demons that are interested in his EVP obsession. The movie is so scary to me because of the parts that just make you jump. A lot of the movie consists of static on the tv which is very loud and followed by screams across the TV or radio. After watching this movie you seem to get creeped out more often when turning to the wrong channel.

10/18-10/22 Is Nate The Boss?


The question has finally been asked nationally and will receive answers which may not be suitable for school. Is Nate Bailey a Boss? The thing is Nate has such a huge ego of himself he can hardly control it every day. He is so in love with himself it's a miracle how he has anytime for extracurricular activities and not going out on solo dates. I bet everyday he wakes up in the morning, tells himself he loves him and then looks in the mirror for a few hours. The true definition of a boss is someone who is in charge of employing others while supervising them. If Nate is such a "boss", why is he working at McDonalds working under the supervision of Kyle Stewarts mother. I once got into an argument with Nate about who is stronger and he could not stop lying saying he would "destroy" me in any exercise. The thing is Nate never showed me up in any of that and has backed down from several occasions. Some of these dealing with a friend Zach Lammachia who challenged Nate to a simple boxing match awhile back. I give Nate some credit. He is good at what he does and is an overall nice young man. But for some reason along the way he gave himself this nickname that may be difficult for him to fulfill. Nate has many reasons he can explain to you why he is boss, so next time you see him he can give some solid answers to clear up any misunderstandings.

10/11-10/15 Best Song Ever

My favorite song ever with a million other teenage girls agreeing happens to be "One Time" by Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber is a sixteen year old boy from Ontario Canada. He was discoverd in 2008 by Scooter Braun in 2008 while he came scross Bieber's Youtube videos. The debut of his single "One Time" was written by Christopher Stewart, Terius Nash and Kuk Harrell. It was put to the air May 18, 2008 and other countries in 2009. This song is so popular that it has been viewed on Youtube more than 100 million times and is ranked as the 5th most viewed video in Youtube history. The song is very catchy and has done well on the Hot Billboard 100 peaking at 18. The song captured a lot of attention among teenage viewers of Hip Hop and who enjoy a solid mid-tempo beat that can be played in the clubs. It captures a lot of attention from teenage girls the most. This is because he repeats the line, "Me plus you, imma tell you one time" throughout the song. This statement reaches out to the female audience and connects better, along with the "Your world is my world, your fight is my fight, my breath is your breath and your heart" section. The song achieved international success debuting in Belgium, Austria, Australia, New Zeeland and France. This song was a great jumpstart for his career, leading him to a higher level in the Hip Hop and R&B world. You can see this when he took home the best new artist award at the 2010 VMA's.

10/11-10/15 Favorite Class

My favorite class here at Alden Senior High School would have to be Physical Education. There are many reasons why I enjoy this class so much that I'd never be able to explain them all. While in Phys. Ed. class you participate in numerous activities. Some of these include football, ultimate frisbee, soccer, volleyball, tennis, basketball and many more. My favorite things to do in this class are flag football and ultimate Frisbee. They are both fast paced games which require a lot of teamwork and effort. if your team is not trying hard it will be easy to see, since everyone needs to get involved. I also like playing volleyball or going outside to play tennis because i don't get the opportunity any other time. It's nice to try different things, and learn more about the sport such as rules and techniques you didn't know before. It's a good place for practicing and also for hanging out with friends. What's nice about Phys. Ed. class is you participate with numerous friends and classmates. The competition is great and exciting interacting with fellow students. On the other hand some activities are not so fun. For example swimming, which most people dread. The swimming unit is always controversial in fun because no one likes to go into the chlorine filled pool. Every time you come out smelling like chlorine for the rest of the day and it dries out your skin. Even the water in the pool is freezing. It is never warm and always in the winter, which makes it worse. Besides swimming I enjoy all of Phys. Ed. class and look forward to it in my day to relax.

10/11-10/15 Best Meal Ever

My favorite meal to eat would have to be hot pockets. When I eat hot pockets I prefer the Pizza or ham and cheese kind. They are so easy to make that it's almost unbelievable. They come in a box normally with two to four, and the directions for cooking are right on the back. You can cook them in the oven for a nice crisp outside, or if you're in a hurry you can pop it in the microwave and nuke it up. This is the best way because I'm always in a hurry and it's a lot faster. Who wouldn't want to eat a meal within a few minutes? You can buy these delicious meals almost anywhere that sells food. Tops Friendly Market is a very popular place for purchasing along with Wal-Mart and Wegmans. My favorite is Ham and cheese, and this is because they are good at any time. You can eat ham and cheese in the morning for breakfast or at night for dinner. When the cheese is melted and you bite in, it's like nothing else. Nothing can compare to it. I always have a supply of hot pockets. When I run out of them in the freezer there is no reason to worry because I have plenty more stashed away in the freezer down stairs. There are so many different kinds that there is no way you can't like them. Different kinds range from Mexican style to BBQ beef and cheeseburger. Hot Pockets can easily be named one of the best things on earth.

10/4-10/8 Favorite Movies!

Throughout my entire life I've been watching movies. These movies vary from black and white to color, and from The Wizard of Oz to Snakes on a Plane. Movies are a great source of entertainment. You can go out to see a movie with friends or maybe your significant other. Or There's always that opportunity that you like to stick around the house and cuddle on the couch next to your family. I in particular like to see mine in theatres. But some of the movies I enjoyed watching are Shooter and Remember The Titans. The movie Shooter is about a Marksmen you is accused of killing the president. He has to run away as the police chase him. When he finds a place to stay, he goes on the run to track down the real killer, and find who exactly set him up and why. I found this movie very entertaining because of the suspense and action presented. Another one of my favorite movies happen to be Remember the Titans. This movie is a true story based on a new African American coach and his high school football team as they play for the first time with combined race. The movie is very inspirational showing anything is possible, while all the comedy is still present.

9/27-10/1 Interview

This afternoon I sat down with Morgan Dulski, and interviewed her about the future. It seemed extremely professional, since we were sitting at a makeshift table while everyone else around was conversing and eating baked goods. With limited interviewing skills I was only able to assemble five questions. But with these five questions I will be able to create a well written paragraph. Morgan plans on attending college which is great because everyone should. She would like to attend Stonehill College in Massachusetts after high school. Since the college is out of state, dorming is a must. When asked what career she plans on engaging in, Morgan was not able to give a solid answer. She plans on some kind of career in the medical field. Some of her answers were Orthodontist or Pharmacist. These two are great career choices and would be a wonderful idea. Once I brought up the question are you excited for college, Morgan replied with a solid fragment that she wasn't at all. Morgan said that she would rather stay in high school than wonder off to college. After college, and when she is participating in a career such as an Orthodontist or Pharmacist, her dream home would be in the mountains of Tennesee. After completing this interview, I realize it is very important to brainstorm and manifest quality questions. This way you can get high quality information out of the person and write a well written paper or article about it.
