Chicken

Patrick’s house has a real man’s man cave commonly known as the basement. In it is 100 inch plasma HD flat screen television. Gavin, Garrett, Patrick, and myself were there to play NBA 2k13 on his PlayStation 3. This part of the house is heated by a wood burning stove. That night is was lit and the room was hot. I was parched, so I got up to go get a water.
“Any of you guys want something to drink?” I asked.
“No,” said Gavin and Garrett simultaneously.
Then Pat said, “No, but can you grab that jar of hot peppers, I’m feeling a little adventurous today.”
​I got myself a water and Pat his peppers returned to the couch to hear Pat say, “I DARE YOU TO EAT THIS HOT PEPPER!”
​Oh shit, I hate hot peppers. They give me the runs, and I really don’t want to eat one.
“Chicken, Bok Bok,” Gavin mocked.
Oh no not the chicken, now I have to do it he called me a chicken.
“Alright,” I said, “I’ll do it.”
Crunch, my teeth bit deep into the pepper and the fiery juice sprayed the inner walls of my cheeks.
“Ahhh, HOT HOT.” I screamed, “Water, get me some water!”
​Once it was all over and I could reflect on the situation, I couldn’t help but be mad that I gave in to pure mockery. The littlest words like “Chicken” can have such an impact on the decisions I make. I learned not to let small words persuade my actions, and that I can make my own decisions on my own.

Time of trouble

There is war everywhere and some would call it world war three. The world has succumbed to anarchy, and during this time of horror there was one man who stood out. His name is Richard Eetter, and he was the command of the 24 platoon stationed in Frankfort, Mississippi. Courage does not begin to describe this immaculate human being.
Richard was a man that never let anything get to him in that when troubles and hardships, such as war or people dying, happen; he was the one that could keep it in and not let it show. There was a time where everything seemed to be coming down at once in his life. His mother and father die in a car crash while he is on duty in russia, his best friend gets shot on the front line of battle, and his platoon gets lost in the white and freezing conditions of the great Siberia. The emotion that comes from the man is deep. He spends days and nights sobbing and sulking over his losses, but the most inspiring thing is what happens next. He rallies the death of his loved ones, brings together his troops, and finds his way home. Richard troops through rain, sleet, and snow to find his way back to base. The courage, relentlessness, and willingness it took for him to over come all the things put in his way is unfathomable. Richard Eetter is a hero.

I just don’t know

I Like bread, in fact i haven’t ever heard of the stone bread. in fact I never really had a whole lot of irish food. I think I have irish background and I haven’t even tried irish food. I wonder how it would taste? How is it different? What is a piece of irish food? Is a rueben sandwich an irish dishes or nah? I’m not really sure if it is, I guess I have tried it. It wasn’t necessarily good, but I didn’t throw it back up either. Why does food make people throw up. is it a mental incapability of taste, like if that thing touches my tongue a signal is sent to my brain saying, “I don’t like that set it out.” and then my brain sends a signal to my stomach telling it to throw it back up. heck i don’t know. Could it be a chemical intolerance or mixture in the stomach that bacon has and when it is mixed with something in your stomach that 5th grade volcano experiment is now happening inside or you. I don’t know but if I had to guess it would be the volcano experiment because it sounds cooler. I don’t understand it. how half of the football team will be hanging over the fence throwing up in the middle of summer running and the other half of the team is just standing there watching. What is making that half of the team throw up. was it something they ate or is the running that much harder for them. I’m quite befuddled.

college

Wow College is coming by so fast I don’t know what to do with myself. I have no clue what I want to do or where I want to go, and everyone is asking me what I want and where I want to go. A lot of pressure is being put on me. I have to go take visits this summer and start applying for colleges now when I don’t have a clue of what I want to do. For a while I though about air force and naval academy’s, then I realize that I didn’t have the test scores to get in and was like well crap. Then I thought about rotc at any other university but I would know what id want to study since the fields you can study in are so limited. Lately I have thought about going somewhere like IU and getting a general business degree or something like that. Then again I thought about Iowa state or Purdue for something along the lines of agriculture. All I know is that where ever I work and what ever I do it cannot, and I emphasize the CANNOT be a job where I sit at a desk and look at a computer for the rest of my life. I would kill myself. I cannot sit in a chair and just look at a screen without putting a bullet through my brain. I don’t know what to do. Ugh this is a stressful time to go through. If only there was just the perfect job for me and I could go and do that because I want to work doing something that I love. But I cant wait to go have the best 4 or ore years of my life.

Mustang

I just recently acquired a 2014 mustang, and needless to say it is badass. It is green with black strips down the hood and side of it. Oh weee is it fun to drive. I was on the back road the other day testing out how fast it truly could go. Two words, scary fast. I was going 120 but it was still accelerating, and I pussyied out and let off the gas. It was extremely scary. You feel like you have 0 control of the car. I bet it could have topped at 135 or 140 but I don’t think I want to test that out. This car will last me forever and I plan on making it last that long. It is my baby and I will take care of it like one. The interior is exquisite, but the downfall is the back seats. There are 2-bucket seats in the back with about 6 inches of leg room, yes I said 6 inches. Now I can make it to where they have more by scutting up both seat, but because I’m taller I have to have the seat all the way back. All in all I have a great car and wouldn’t trade it for the world. It will take me wherever I want to go especially since it has 13,000 miles on it. I could run it all the way up to 200,000 miles before it would die. Man I love my new car.

Finals

My finals are going to be a breeze. I just found out today that the last week of school I only have 1 test and 1 presentation for the 4 days. Its great. I am technically, in my eyes, graduating early. Like I wont even come to school but 1 day that last week. I will need to figure something out with the ipads though. I’m not going to be here to turn them in, and it is pointless for me to come in 15 minutes of the day to turn in my ipad, so I think ill turn it in before that when I’m here at school. I hope I don’t get in trouble for not being here, but what can they do, expel me, ha I’m already a senior now and I’m out of here. Finals that last week are easy too. Earth 100 multiple-choice test. Haha piece of cake. A+. I’m worried about my debate the most. It’s not during finals week but it is still a final. Why cant school end now. I feel like its over anyways. My classes a very easy and the workload is mediocre. I’m ready for finals to be over and become a senior then ill be happy. But the again these last 3 years have flown by and it feels like I was in middle school yesterday.

I also really wish junior had S to the 5, heck they could call it J to the 5. haha man if only that was so, but i guess it wouldn’t help me out so that fine if there never was. I’m done with my junior year anyway and will have S to the 5th next year so ill be fine.

Lunaediesophobia

Oh God not another Monday morning. I can’t take this anymore. This happens every 7 days. Why can’t I skip Monday and go straight to Tuesday. I feel like I die every Monday. I can’t go to school because something bad might happen to me, and I cant stay at home because my mom will kill me. Oh I hate m*nd*ys I can’t even say the word without crying.

Doctor’s orders

“You can’t sleep more than 3 hours at a time,” doc says. “If so you could pass out and never wake up again.”
“Damnit, sleep is the only thing I look forward to.” I say
Now every 3 hours there is a freight train running through my head, an alarm clock. I cant go back to sleep. That really pisses me off. It would be ok if I woke up for 5 seconds then went back to sleep, but I cant. Ugh the agony.

ENd of the year

a_School_s_Out

The end of the semester is coming around, and my junioritis is in full affect. I don’t want to do any homework, papers are getting done last minute, and skipping school has pooped in my head more and more lately. All I can think about is summer and concerts and what I’m going to do. Going down to the lake every weekend, tubing and fishing on Monroe. That’s all I think about anymore. Football is starting to pick up again which is nice. My senior year is going to be fun, I can already tell. I don’t know if I’ll be able to play or not be it will be fun rather way. I’m just ready to get out of here and have my short summer. School is pointless right now, I’m only taking 3 finals and I’m basically in college. All of my classes are either online or almost over and finals have already happened, sooo.. why do I come to school anymore. I could skip the rest of school and still pass my junior year. Oh well though. What can you do. I Just got to look forward to summer now and all the good things that come out of that. The lake, my boat, fishing, tubing, I could go on forever. The bad thing about summer is that it is very short this year. It is only like 2 months. Well I’ll just have to make the most of it.  this year was good but next year will be even better.
