A Christmas Story

Another one of my most favorite Christmas movie is "A Christmas Story." It has been one of my favorites since I was a a kid.



The movie is about a young boy named Ralphie and this one Christmas gift that he really wants. During the movie he also shows how his family is and what it was like for him as a kid during Christmas. His family was basically like any other family. A father, who is hard working and is basically the head of the house hold and disciplines him, his mother who is a stay at home mom and a real sweetheart, and there is his little brother who just tags along everywhere he goes. Then he has his two best friends and of course the meanest school bully.

Ralphie really wanted a shot-gun that shot bebes, but everybody he asked for said he will shoot his eye out. Well eventually his dad went against his mothers whishes and bought him the gun for Christmas. He want outside to play with it, and of course he shot his eye out.

It is really a hysterical movie and it is great for kids. Once again I rate it five-stars and a must see for the holidays.

National Lampons Christmas Vacation

Every Christmas me and my mother wait for our favorite Christmas movies to come on. Our favorite Christmas movie is "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation."


It is a great movie about a loving husband and father, named Clark Grizwald, and he is so into Christmas. He is kind of one of those Corney fathers, who has all those little jokes and plans all these little family get togethers. His wife is the same way and there one of those couples that have those little pet names for eachother. The kids are average teenagers, who just want to be with their friends and believe there parents are the most emarissing people on earth.


This Christmas the "Grizwald" family had invited the whole family over there house for Christmas. There family consits of the normal parents from both husband and wife, the really old and crazy aunt and uncle, and the most craziest cousin and his family. Clark tries to make it the best Christmas ever but, of course the family is always ther to make it as difficult as possibe.

This movie is hysterical and no matter how mant times me and my mom watch it, where always in tears. I give this movie five stars and it is a must see.


What is your favorite holiday?



Well like most people, mine is Christmas. I love Christmas because, I love traditions. I love the decorations on all the houses, the christmas music, everything. My house is like a family house where my whole family lives, so are lawn is very big and has a lot of bushes. When my uncle decorates all the bushes a diffrent color in lights. Then my uncle outlines the house in big red and white light bulbs. Also, when you look threw all four windows you see each of out christmas trees and the windows decorated in some winter wonderland scenes.



Every Christmas day me and my brother wake-up really ealry and wake everyone in the house up. We go upstairs and bring wake up our little cousins and we start to bring down all their gifts. Then we all next door and wake up our grandparents and bring over all there gifts. This way were all together on chritmas morning opening up our gifts. My dad usually runs out and pickss up bagels and donuts for when where done. Then when were all finished everyone rushes to take showers and get ready to leave for my aunts in Brooklyn. Every year Christmas is at her house and the whole family is there.



I just love the feeling of Christmas. I get just a warm feeling inside and start smiling. I love the traditions and seeing my whole family together. I love the smell of the food and everyone talking and laughing.

Snow





Do yo rember when you were younger and playing in the snow? How much did you love it? How much do you love it now?



Well I rember when I was younger I loved the snow. I loved it for so many reasons. I loved it because, all the kids would run outside build snowmen, have snow ball fights, and make snow angels. I rember one year I had to be about six or seven years old and we had a really big snow storm. It was so bad that all schools and city jobs were cancelled. My father and my two uncles built the largest igloo I have ever seen. I have a big lawn and that igloo took up the whole lawn. I rember there being so much snow on the ground that i couldn'y walk.All the parents on the block made a dug a walk way going across the street so the kids can crawl from one side to the other. It was such a blast and at the end of the day my mom would make me and my brother either hot choclate or soup.

Now I see snow completely diffrent. When I was younger I thought it was so great and beautiful. Now, I still do think its beautiful, but only when it first falls, after a while it starts to turn brown and into slush from all the cars. I hate driving in it when I have to go to school or work. I hate having to shovel it and then in a half hour it looks like you never even sholved. I wish I can go back to being little and having fun in the snow.

July of 2007

I want to tell this story about my borther. It isn't a funny story, it is actually very upsetting, but I believe that it is something kids should read about to understand the effects of driving.

In july somewhere between July 23rd and July26th, my brother Tommy was in a very serious car accident. My brother and a few of his friends on the night went to applebees on Veterans Road East, where the new Home Depot is. After they had left applebee's on there way home they had recieved a phon call from one of their friends that work in applebees. He was asking them to go back and pick him up from work, because he had no ride home. So they decided they would.

There was two cars. In the first car was my brother and his grilfriend in the back seat. In the front seat was two of my brother closests friends. In the other car there was another three boys who my brother angs out with on a day-to-day basis. On the way back the boys were speeding and the boy who was driving the car my brother was in had lost control of the car.

It was wet out that night and the roads were slippery so the car bein spinning out of control and hit the other car. The other car spun all the way down the block and into a fence. The other car the car my brother was in spun around into the woods and wrapped around two garders that were blocking a fire hydrant. The car split in half and the front of the car where my brothers two friends were sitting went one way and the back part where my brother and his girlfriend were sitting went the other. My brother and his girlfriend were both ejected from the car. He landed right in front of the car but his girlfriend landed directly thirty-feet behind him into the woods.

On her way in she hit a tree and she broke her pelvis, both her legs, and all of her ribs. She also had brain damage. When the paramedics got there they prononced her dead on site, but they were albe to revive her a little to get her to the hospital. However, she passed away a few hours later. She was only seven teen. When I arrived at the site my brother was lying on the floor unconcious and bleeding from his head. He was admitted into the hospital with ten cracked ribs, a bruised left lung, and a fractured spinal chord. For three days all he asked about was where his girlfrined was and why he couldn't talk to her. We could not tell because, we were scared that he would go into shock and his lungs would collapse.

There is alot more to this story but, I really wanted to focus on this part and get my point across. Driving is not a game, speeding will only end badly. Trying to get there four seconds before can cost you someones life. The day after she passed away, there was a cermony being held for at the scene of the accident. When it was all over kids were speeding away from the scene of the accident. That just show that kids will never learn unless there are truly effected by it.

Cell Phones

Motorola Razr
Isn't it amazing how far technology has come? Especially with cell phone

Cell Phones started out as these big portable phone, almost the size of a portable house phone now. Then they started getting smaller, and smaller, and now they are so small, there are some literally smaller than my palm. Then they started adding new features, like games, text messaging, camera, go online, ringtones, and ring back ringtones. Now phone can flip into a keyboard, flip two diffrent ways, and now is even a touch screen. That introduced the new iphone. The iphone allows you to play music, watch videos, go online zoom in, zoom out, basically do anything you can do on a computer and more. However, the iphone only was allowed to be used in one wireless network and that network was at&t. Now, verizon has come out with one.

It's just amazing all the thingsa they can fit into something the size of my palm. Also, now cell phones have become such a huge part of life, actually technology in general has become our way of life. Anyone who leaves home without it is completely lost. Some people store there whole lives in there and if you lose your cell phone and someone else finds it, it now becomes a huge problem. Some people store their whole identity in there.

Girl World

Have you ever heard the expression "Bro's before Ho's?" Well what about girls? What is there pact for making sure that a member of the opposite sex would never split them up?



Well my answer to the is NO. See for girls it is a lot worse than for boys, because girls are a lot more manipulative and backstabbing then boys are. Howver in "girl world" as i like to call it there are rules. For example, say you have a boyfriend but you and a bunch of your girlfriends go out for a girls night out and you spot a kid that you think is cute. Now you go and tell your bestfriend and she looks over and also think that he is cute. Now suppose that the kid comes up and starts dancing with your bestfriend and she is flirting with him and they kiss. Now any guy would say that it is okay because, he is fair game and yoy already have a boyfriend. However, in girl world it is not okay because you saw him first. Now this is going to cause a whole big ordeal and now you and your bestfriend are probaly never going to talk to eachother again. Your argument would be that you saw him first and that was a backstabbing move and her argument will be that you already have a boyfirned and he started flirting with her first.
