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

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.

Tattoo's

Why are tattoo's so addicting?

Everyone I know that has a tattoo is always talking about how they need another one, they can't wait to get another one. I don't understand why they feel the necessity to cover up their body in ink. I mean one or two is fine, even three is okay but to have you whole body covered is beyond me. All I can think about, when I think about actually getting one is, when I'm older how they are going to look. When I'm in my thirty's and having children and when I'm in my sixty's or seventy's when I have grandchildren and my skin is not as young looking as it used to be; How will I look? However, I'm not trying to put down anyone with them, it is just my opinion, but I do believe they should have a limit.
