Journal Topics

9/10- Comment on the salty hamburger story.


I don't know what you are talking about. What is this "salty hamburger story" you speak of? Well, since I don't know, my final jurisdiction is no comment. Okay, I just heard the story. Yup, it's dumb.


9/11- Do you think 9/11 happened as reported, or was/is there a sinister conspiracy/cover- up?


I wouldn't know. All I know is that this cruel world is full of backstabbers so you can hardly trust anyone. Too many people turn on their friends, but would the government turn on us? It's a harsh world.


9/12- Would you consider Britney Spears fat?


I don't know if she's fat, but why are we so worried about her weight. There are obese people in the world, but size shouldn't even matter. Why judge her? See, instead of worrying about how "glamorous" the celebrities lives are,we need to worry about things that are important. There are people dying on the battlefield fighting for our country and all we can do is document celebrities lives? That's pathetic. Move on! Enough is enough!


9/13- Do you prefer this year's "enrichment" block to last year's study hall/tutoring? Explain.


Last year, I had Mrs. Woy first semester so, of course, it was really fun. Then I had Mrs. Glass who helped us get our homework done quicker because she started class earlier. Mr. Liston is really nice too, and he doesn't really make it boring, but the others don't either. So, if anything, it's equal.


9/14- "Cheaters never prosper."<------------ True statement?


Last year, Fort Hill cheated during the game. Okay, I'll be honest, I didn't really watch much of the game. I'm sorry? If they did cheat,which I'm pretty sure they did, then it should "come back to haunt them." It didn't they won... again! I guess some cheaters do prosper! Maybe we should hire new referees. Yeah. Did you notice the dumb signs too? They can't even spell tornado!!!! Not to mention their sign was upside down. Emmmmbarrassing. We might not have won that game, but at least we have common sense. However, their band has very kind people, and they really liked our show! I wish them good luck, but only them!


9/17- It is better for you location (house, classroom, etc.) to be too cold or too hot.


Wow! What a question I find very amusing! So difficult to answer. Hmmm. Decisions. Decisions. I'd pick too cold because I can sometimes adjust to it quickly. If hot hands, coats, blankets, under armor, etc. are available, I will survive! Also, if there is one thing that I've learned with marching band it's, you can layer up more than you can dress down. When it's too hot, you can dehydrate quicker too. Also, I play my trumpet better when it's cold. If it's cold enough, at night, I can hold my mouthpiece up to the light, blow through it, then watch "flames" come out the end. IT'S SO COOL! (literally!)


9/18- Invent a new candy bar. Describe it's composition and name it.


Okay. I'm sorry, and I even didn't want to be the one to tell you this. I can't tell you. It's a secret like Willy Wonka's was. Well, sort of. See if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, but I can tell you this..... it has chocolate. Now for the truth. I'm not making any candy because I don't want to. I don't feel like inventing something like that! I'm sorry, but I'm not the candwoman.


9/19- Continuing with the food theme: Which McDonald's item should be permanently removed from the menu?


Okay, let's face it, McDonald's is known for greasy, extremely unhealthy food that everyone is appealed to. It is also known for outrageous arrests for salty hamburgers. So what should be taken off the menu? Fish Sandwiches because they stink, are unappetizing, and they look disgusting. Honestly, they look like some random person took Spongebob deep fried him, threw him on bread, and put the sauce on him. I find that disturbing so take it off the menu.
