Theories

Throughout the ages , mankind has succumb to really simple games that gets a little bit difficult throughout the game like PAC- Man, or Mario bros. and Angry Birds. Questions that are asked are like "Why do I waste my time with this game, or why is it so simple but gets hard , or also why make the game so simple with no storyline? Well luckily I don't have to answer these question, but I'm going to ask about the the infamous and frustrating game Flappy Bird.

Now Flappy Bird is an overly simple game with the main objective is to just go through as many green pipes as you can, but the most frustrating part about this game is how the bird flies like really. In the beginning of the game he's flying all normal until you tap him then he turns into a little pansy. The game is overly simple but frustrating and plain old stupid. But I have to admit I play this game even though it frustrates me and angers me enough to throw my IPod. Now the game is off the market so everybody that hated the game are keeping it to sell it on EBay for hundreds of dollars. There's a few theories of why the creator took the game off the market

To much publicity: The guy that made the game makes 50,000 dollars a day just on advertisements. Can you believe that! The crazy thing is that this game came out in January and became the most popular game on the market. But I guess he got a lot of attention from the people and got tired of it. There's some other theories that going I'm to get to.

He's getting Sued: In the game your going through green pipes that looks strangely similar to Mario. So when people play it for the first time they automatically assume that it looks like Mario. So the theory is that Nintendo is suing him for that one little thing. Also there's the fact that people with anger issues break their device when they lose.
I guess human nature is greed because when it comes down to it people will sue for anything. They are people out there that are trying to sue him because they broke their own phone because of a game.

Viral Videos: There are videos circulating out in the World Wide Web. These videos usually talk about how to beat the game,but some of them like one I saw that started out  with a guy talking about how to cheat in it . Everything is going all normal while he's playing until he died then he cursed and got a hammer and smashed his S4 Smartphone. The vulgarity of his actions made me gape at the screen for a full 30 seconds after the video ended. Another video states how to get invincibility on the game, so he gets on his phone, plays Flappy Bird dies then exits out of the game holds down on the app clicks the x then proceeds to delete the game. The end of the video quotes him saying " Now you never have to worry of losing ever again.


In the end, the game continues to be played and more people break their phone and iPods. The moral of this story is that you shouldn't let a game govern your life. Here's some advice to playing the game. 1) don't play the game when your bored because you won't be that focused and lose. 2) keep a cool head when you play or else you'll end up breaking your device. 3) I know it feels like your fighting gravity when you play the game  but just let yourself fall. 4) don't over do it with the tapping, basically what I'm implying. 5) Don't get distracted , don't play while your at the movie theaters or when your walking down the road. 6) have sheer persistence, practice doesn't make perfect in the world of flappy bird but blind persistence may be worthwhile. 7) Just have fun. That's all folks.

Things that Should Die with 2013

The hype of marijuana should've died in 2013. Like come on in all honesty what's the point of talking about in the first . You can keep what you do to yourself because do you really want to get drug tested regularly. If you want to talk about it openly go to Colorado and just smoke it.

Now this is a topic I would like to speak about so bear with me if you don't agree with what I'm saying. Now after extensive research I came to the conclusion that at the rate we're going your going to be able to buy marijuana almost anywhere ,even in the supermarket!  These are the reasons why the hype should die.


Now I'm going to divulge some facts about marijuana. One, marijuana was first used in 1894 now your thinking "see people used it back then so why can't everybody use it now"? The fact is they made it illegal because it strayed off the path for medical and went on a different path of just using it for pure enjoyment. Two, marijuana now is used to counteract  cancer and glaucoma but the fact of the matter is not all marijuana is safe there even some that attack cancer cells and make it worse.

Top Movies

My top five inspirational films
The most memorable movie I've seen is a movie called Lifted. The movie was about a twelve year old up in coming rapper and musically talented. I got good vibes just watching this movie. The singing, rapping, and the struggle to live life each day at a time.  

#1: Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is set in 1971 in Virginia. In the movie there's still racism and their finally letting black people go to the same school as white people and play football. You don't have to play football to understand this move it motivates you to do something about your life. It deals with racism and prejudice. So this is a must watch movie.

#2:freedom writers
This moved me so much that I decided to focus on my life and get better in writing by taking English.  The life of all these teenagers and how they formatted their writing on their journals and then narrated it was very moving . This is the next movie I recommend.

#3: Forever Strong
Forever Strong is one of those movie that you can actually watch. It reminded me a lot of remember the titans because it had comedy, sadness, and was all just great . I especially like the quote that coach  Gelwix said . He said good decisions don't make life easy, but they do make it easier.  It inspired me to be a better person and clean up my act.

#4: warrior
Warrior is fast paced and a touching picture about family and MMA. Warrior may be a movie of fiction but it feels like a true story. One man fighting for prize money the other one to prove himself a man.  I liked this quote from the movie because I heard this a couple times in my life 
Brendan Conlon: You never had any interest in underdogs. But I was your son. 
Paddy Conlon: You *are* my son, Brendan. 
Brendan Conlon: Am I? 
Paddy Conlon: Yeah, you are. I'm just asking you if can find... find a little bit of space in your heart to forgive me a little bit. 
Brendan Conlon: Yeah? All right, I forgive you. 
Paddy Conlon: Okay. 
Brendan Conlon: But I do not trust you.
I have people that have faith and hope for me to make better choices and I strive to be better and believe in myself. This is a must watch film.

#5: The Blind Side

The blind side is a touching story about a seventeen year old boy who is also homeless  but he was blessed to play football and when Leigh Anne tuohy ask her husband to pull over the car to talk to Michael thats where their relationship started. Through the help of his new family he was able to find out what it's liked to be cared for. This movie made me look inside myself and wonder if I would ever have the heart or decency to do all that for someone I just met.

Goals

Five Goals that I set for myself
Ever since I was a kid, growing up was kinda harsh. I was beat down most my life by my father, kids insulted me at school, and I even put myself down. We all have the one wolf inside of us that holds all your demons, anger, resentment, and hate. But we also have the good wolf the one filled with pureness, peace, and happiness. I always wondered what I would make of my life . I always wanted a purpose in my life something to look forward to , to inspire me , to motivate me. I chose to persevere so I can make it in life, I chose to not let people insults bring me down . Sure I look like a quiet kid, someone who keeps to myself but don't judge a book by its cover. I thought of these goals ever since my parents got divorced and I'll will make them happen.

#1: to respect everyone I meet even if I don't like them
Now I know everybody has a problem with this, it's inevitable, but don't let that stop you.       I gone through life being push around, even encountered people that I strongly dislike but that doesn't give me a reason to be rude. I was raised to be respectful to everyone even if they don't respect you. So this is my goal, to be respectful and I'll accomplish this, even if I get beat down I'll still be the same because even after my father beat me down I still had the will to get up in the morning and just be nice to everyone.

#2: to keep playing music and learning new instruments
I know you hear this from everybody but music is my passion and I'm gonna let people know that. Ever since I was little I loved watching this animated film called Animusic. It was cool how they made their music the effects it had on me it just mesmerized me. Then there was the blue man group and stomp . I liked how they could make music out of common items. Then when I found out I had to take piano lessons I was hesitant on the idea but, while I was doing it I liked it but it strongly disliked it too. But  my mom bought us a piano and everything so it was kinda hard to say I wanted to quit so I kept doing it . Finally after three months, I quit.... I was eight but as the years passed by  my sister was still playing piano and was good at it that's when I decided to just start piano again but I was going to teach myself and that's how I found out that I have a knack of learning by ear. Now I'm fifteen and I gotta say I got pretty good at it.  So that's enough motivation for me to learn more about music and that's how I'm gonna accomplish it.  

#3: to get out of the system
Yeah that's something I've been working on for the past eighteen months and so far I was doing good until recently (not gonna go into that). So now I'm set back a little but I'm not gonna stress about it. You wanna know something funny I was only suppose to be in the system for only five months but it's been eighteen so that sucks. So this is my advice just lay low because if you do that then nothing bad is going to happen. You can also fake it till you make it but I'll advise against it. Just don't stress about every little thing , don't get into fight, and especially don't do drugs. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's the truth. So I am determined to accomplish this and I know I can because everybody in my team wants me to go home and I'm not going to let them down (even if I've been doing it repeatedly). So I'm going to do it once and for all.

#4: to get a girlfriend
I know this sounds kind of lame but I guess I gotta make a goal that's not that serious and I know you guys don't want to read this but yeah. I guess I gotta go back in time when I first started dating girls. I was in fifth grade , now bear with me this is the girl that got me smoking cigarettes in the first place. So she was in the sixth I was in fifth and you gotta read my "favorite mistake" so in the end we lost touch after she hit seventh grade and from then on I've been dating since. But now that I hit high school I got more opportunities to talk with girls but it's awkward because I end up being friends with them it's probably because I'm not assertive enough or don't put off as being tough , but it kinda doesn't matter to me if I get one I get one.

#5: to go to college

I always wanted to go to college ever since I was ten. It's something that I didn't have to do but something I wanted to. I want to grow up and be a psychiatrist or a therapist so I can help people. I can't really write much about it because that's basically it. That's all my goals so hope you don't think I'm stupid.

Top 3 Questions

Stop Asking! - top 3 questions you should never(but you want to)
Ask about life.

As everybody know we all live our own lives, some take it for granted while others make the best of it. People always ask that they wish they didn't live in this life, I say that you better read this closely and I hope that you think about the questions I'm gonna ask you.

Life: top three questions
  #1: why isn't life fair?
Well to answer this question just think about, your life isn't really that unfair it's what you make of it . You think other people are contributing , no its all you . Other people can just influence the circumstances. I grew up being abused by my father, I know I'm being blunt but just hear me out my life was literally living in a living hell until my parents got divorced at age twelve , for a while I was happy but sad that I didn't have a father anymore so I acted out, now I'm here three years later trying to fight to get home. I realized that my life wasn't unfair it's what I made of it so learn form me. Now on to the next one.

#2: how can I get myself out of
the hole I dug myself in?

You're the one that dug yourself in the hole in the first place, this is my advice for you just pick yourself off the ground wipe yourself off look up towards the sky and start making a plan for yourself . Each step you make, let it reflect a decision in your life. If you trip don't let that stop you, push forward just keep going, when you get to the top metaphorically fill the hole and just walk away . That hole is always going to be there no matter what waiting for you to mess up again. My advice is persevere, but it all comes to you. If you have the mental stability and heart, then I have no doubt in my mind that you can do it.

#3: how can I live my life to the fullest?
I think you know how to live your life ,but if you don't then I have some tips for you.
Do something that you like to do , and I know some people like  to get high and drunk and I don't want to be a hypocrite  by saying I do that stuff, but it's in the past. You don't need the use illegal stuff to make your life better, it'll only be good at the moment then you'll be screwed up right after and probably get hooked. Just do something that inspires and influence you to do something worthwhile. The older you get the harder it'll be to the the same thing, but don't worry you find something. So just find something you want to do and the rest will come naturally. 


I apologize if my writing doesn't influence you to do something worthwhile but I at least tried. I hope that you don't think that I'm stupid to write about life , but you gotta give me credit because it's at least original. Thanks for reading this.

Do/Don't Essay


Let me tell you of a well kept secret about how to read a book. It's actually not that difficult.   Now there's times I like to just stay up and read a book and not get any sleep.
When I read a book I can't put down I just think in class about what's gonna happen next.  Reading is just something you got to do in my opinion so you can just keep you're brain up to date and your mind more focused.

Now there's gonna be books that are just plain old dumb and I'll understand if don't want to read it, but I'm the type of person to persevere to the end. It's something that I just have to prove to myself. There's also books that are hard to understand because they use big words like "prerogative " and " vilify" . Don't stress about it 'cause you can just look it up or keep reading, either way your gonna wonder about that word so you can understand it and insert it in your vocabulary and be more aware. Now on to  the do and don't .

Do: Try to read as much as possible so you can lose yourself in the words and feel like 
Your being sucked into the author world. So you can see the authors mind by reading his/or hers book

Don't: literally read all the time, like what if your in the hallways and you run into a wall
 or even worse a person they might get angry. Thats why you gotta be careful and just read at the right time like a home or whenever you have read time.

Do: try to enjoy what your reading so you'll be able to enjoy more books. Have a fun time reading. Laugh when you have to laugh, cry when it's sad , get angry at a death and just connect. That's all you need to do with the book.

Don't : chuck a book at someone you don't like because you didn't like the book or didn't like the person or both I guess. Also don't vandalize the book in any way or use it to wreck havoc. Especially don't use it as toilet paper.

Do: try to make free time to go to the library so you can check out books and just expand the type of books you read. Suggest people some books that you really like so that they can get a peek of your real self.

Don't :Taking your book into the restroom and calling it the library is not a library . It's just a poor excuse to read a book just because your bored. I guess it's good that your reading but do it 'cause you like it.

Remember just have fun while reading and don't screw yourself up in life by doing something stupid just choose reading instead.

My Favorite Mistake


I was coughing , the smoke clearing out from my lungs. "It's okay it's just your first time smoking a cigarette "? said Brandi. My ten-year old eyes looked up towards her , then looking down  in shame.  "Hey it's okay, I still like you" she said as she put her hand on my face with a warm smile. I returned the smile back to her and attempted another drag, this time I was more successfully. I flicked the ash off my cigarette and we continued our smoke. 

Now flash back to my life  about five years. It was when school started I was in the fourth grade and Brandi was in sixth. I met her during lunch, I was sitting alone 
because I didn't really know anybody . She came up to me and said hi. I looked up
from my tray of mashed potatoes and gravy. My brain stopped working for a second
 she had brown hair which was straight and curls at the end, blue eyes, and tanned skin. She always sat next to just chatting , I didn't know why she was hanging out with me, but I liked the company.

I  noticed something different about her when I met her. Like why would she hang out with a lowly fourth-grader, why she didn't hang out with the other kids which was her age. About two weeks of just hanging out with her I found out she smoked. I was a little intimidated and afraid for her . Then she took me with her every time she smoked . I wanted her to like me even more because she always called me cute and stuff like that.
So then I just asked her straight up that I wanted to smoke. I thought she'll be against it 
but she said "sure". So she took me smoking and from there on out I was hooked on smoking for the next five years of my life.

This was my favorite mistake because I made a friend and she'll always be on my mind for the rest of my life. I learned you can make friends, even ones that make the wrong choices and for that I'm thankful.
