3 Super Powers

     If I could pick 3 super powers ( from the list given) I would choose Telekinesis, Ability to freeze, fast forward, rewind, or slow time, and invulnerability. I would choose telekinesis over more popular powers like super strength or flight because telekinesis gives me those two powers. I can lift things with my mind  which gives me super strength, I can lift myself up which gives me flight, bend waves of light to make me invisible, block sound to make me super silent and give me peace and quiet, and I can use it if I'm feeling lazy and don't want to get up to get something. I would choose time manipulation so I can freeze/slow down time allowing me to have all the time in the world to do anything and I would  be moving at my normal speed while in freeze/slow-mo state so to other people I would be moving super fast. Lastly I would pick invulnerability so I am reassured that I can never be hurt while I'm fighting bad guys or saving people from collapsing buildings.

Island get away

     If I was able to customize my own private island for a vacation I would have a lot of cool things and fun activities to do. First I would place the island in the Caribbean Sea. Since the Caribbean is well know to have sharks, I would put a fence around the island so I could swim without worrying about being eaten by a shark. There would be a lot of fun things to do both on land and water. On land I would have a basketball court, go carts, put-put course, and there would be a huge house with a under ground man cave with a miniature movie theater, gaming area, and ping pong. The water activities would be jet skies, water trampoline, huge hamster balls to run around in, and the best part would be a sling shot that flings people in the air then down to the water. This would be my customized island get away.

A bigger meaning

     Recently a new rule in ECHS as been put into place has not gone over well with the students. The rule is as the following, " There is no [hone usage aloud in the class rooms, hallways, or bathrooms. Any student to be caught with a phone in these areas (without permission) will immediately have to take the device to the office. the phone will be returned at the end of the day." Now I personally don't agree with this rule for a few reasons. One reason is important messages can be missed from family members, coaches, etc. By missing these messages a student can miss a ride somewhere, forget to do something important and so on. Another reason is we (as a class) are constantly being told that we are technically college students and we have to act like adults and we need to work at a pace close to college students, but we get most of the privileges a college student get. Such as being aloud to wear hats around campus, wear gloves in class, use are phones in buildings, and get to eat at market place. Now I know some of these are nit picky little things that I will admit that most high schools have in place, but how are we expected to act like adults and work at a pace of adults, then get petty little rules that only infuriate 90% of the student body. I'm not saying let us do whatever we want, but I'm saying to get us out of this middle ground of being a high school student and a college student. We should be treated 100% high school student or 100% college student. I believe this is a easy permanent and fair solution to make both sides happy. As these few weeks go on I'm afraid is students will become more and more frustrated with these rules and lack of what they can do about it.

Magic phone apps

       I think the apps that should come stardered on the magical iphone is the " I'm a hero" app, " It's over here", "It's yours", and "teleport" app. The " I'm a hero" app would allow people to customize themselves with powers and a outfit. Once the user hits save and apply, that person would get the powers and costume they just made. " It's over here" app would allow someone to scan a item (remote, keys, etc.) and know where it is at all times. " It's yours'" gives the user anything they want. All the user has to do is type in the item and amount of it they want and hit create. The phone will then start to animate that object. The reanimated object will taste/work as well as the real thing. Lastly the app "Telport" would allow the user to go anywhere. Just by typing in place that the user wants to go to and hitting send; they will instantly be transported to their destination.

My undead son

     It's been over a week since my son has been infected with the virus "z12" or as most people will call it being turned into a zombie. At first I had him chained up in the shed, but I could tell that some of my neighbors were becoming suspicious. They would ask me questions like " Where has Steve been?" and " Is Steve alright? I always hear him mooning.". So I moved him to my basement where I felt no one would be able to hear him, but unfortunately I was to late. My neighbor Bill was skeptical of my sons' disappearance from the first day he was missing and was constantly asking me where he was. He did not believe my story that he had caught a bad case of the flu and could hardly move. He has been spying on my house for days, and I made the grave mistake of not checking if anyone was watching when I moved Steve to the basement. It was 12:00 a.m. I didn't even give it a thought. Bill confronted me that day on the situation.
He said "Why haven't you killed that monster yet!?"
I replied with "It has only been two months since the outbreak. What if there is a cure to make him better?"
He replied " And if there isn't a cure."
" Well, I just cant take that chance."
" You know I have to tell the town about this right?"
" I know you will....That's why I have to kill you" I pulled out my gun, and  Bang! I killed him " Steve I got you some food."

Comic date

Two characters I would set up on a hangout seasion (date) would be Hulk and Superman. They would  first go to the gym to see who is truely the strongest super hero. Then they would go to an all you can eat buffet to see who can eat the most. After the gut buster challenge, the two of then are going to see who can take the most pain by shooting each other with missiles. After that there going to see a movie. Who ever won the lignite challenge got to pick what movie they watched, and whoever lost in the lifting compatision had to pay for the popcorn and pop. As the day starts to turn into night they decide to fight some crime. From bank robberies, jail breaks, to the average super villain problem. Finally Superman and Hulk go to the desert to have a fight so they can put to rest all the arguments on who would win in a fight.

My Name...

    
      My first name is David. The origin of my name is from the Hebrew name “Dawid” which is thought to be derived from Hebrew text “dwd” which means beloved. The name David has been the name of several rulers long ago. Probable the most notable ruler with the name David was King David of the New Testament. He is best known for defeating Goliath with a sling shot and some rocks. He was said to be as brave as a lion. He is also well know for being apart of Jesus's family tree. Two other kings that have the name David ruled in Scotland. There are also several famous people who have this name. Some of these famous people are David Hume the empiricist philosopher, David Livingstone the explorer, and the name of the hero of Charles Dickens semi autobiographical novel “ David Copperfield”

My last name comes from towns called Ramos in Portugal and Spain. Anyone that was born in these towns would most likely receive Ramos as their last name. Although Ramos comes from Portugal and Spain, I get it from my Dad's side of the family who is from Puerto Rico.

I am very proud of my name. I was not named David just because my parents liked the name. I was named after my father who was named after his father. This is why I love my name firt name, and when Ramos is pronounced with a role of the r (Spanish speech) is like a ray of sunshine flying through me. All of these reasons why I love my name and why I think it is a shinning star of a.

I'm all alone

     It's October 15^th, the day after I found out that every one on earth is an alien. So far it has been the same routine. I woke up to my alarm clock with my dog lying beside me. I turn the alarm off head to the lavatory and make my way downstairs. I see my mother, well what I thought was my mother, doing her hair as usual. She asked how I slept, and even though I wanted to reply “ Well, considering the fact I just found out every one on Earth is an alien except me... Pretty good.” but I gave the bland response of “Alright.”. Usually this is the point in the movies were the hero decides he/she is going to try to find a way to kill the alien race that has taken over the world, but I realized what am I to do against seven Billion aliens that I know nothing about. For all I know they know every little detail about me and can dispose of me at when ever they want. Maybe they have know idea that I’m not one of them. Either way I have lived this long peacefully with them. I don't think that’s going to change anytime soon, but I will find out what happened to my real family and the rest of the people in the world, or if there were ever any humans living on Earth at all.

A pinata horror story

     It was a bright sunny day at the park. It was about 80-90 according to the thermometer in the car, but the heat had no effect on me, for I was a pinata. I was purchased earlier that morning for a little boy's birthday party. It was a costume for most people to celebrate a friend's or family member's birthday. There would be food, activities, and cake, but for my kind, the piñatas, it was a day of pain and suffering. We are merely created to give children joy, and stuffed with sweats to give them a reward for destroying us. I have heard horrific stories about birthday parties, and now I was going to be in my own horror story. I began my accent up the tree. I knew there was no chance of survival. I seen dozens of kids with bats ready to beat me to the point I break into little pieces, just for my sweat insides. After a few seconds, even though it felt like hours, I made it the spot the adults felt fit for the children to be swinging at. The first child came up to me with a bat in each of his four, three fingered hands. He was green and scaly, but was relativity small for his age. He stood at a height of eight feet, four inches, so he would have some trouble reaching me. As he cocked his arms back a large object came down from the sky. It was black and white and had something on the side of it that said N.A.S.A. with the most Repugnant smelling black smoke coming out of the back. Everybody started running for there lives, for nobody as ever seen anything that could fly that wasn’t circular. I don’t know what it was, but it saved my life and I was extremely grateful.

3 Things I would never do

     If I had a list of things I would never do these three things would be on there. 1) I would never swim in the Nile River, 2) I would never go deep sea scuba diving in caves, 3) Fight a kangaroo. I would never swim in the Nile River because of all the crocodiles and hippos in there. Swimming in there is a death wish. I might as well walk across the Sahara Desert in a sweat shirt and some sweat pants. It wouldn't be a slow painless death either, I would be eaten by several animals and drown at the same time. Secondly I would never go deep sea scuba diving in caves. The reason I would never do this is the chance of getting lost in the caves or stuck is so high. So if I get lost or stuck I will eventually run out of air and die of suffocation. Lastly and most importantly I would never fight a kangaroo. Kangaroos are fast, they through punches, and kick super hard with long claws on their feet. I have watched a couple videos were people and animals have felt the wrath of kangaroos, and it's not pretty. Those are the reasons why I will never swim in the Nile, deep sea scuba dive in caves, and fight a kangaroo.

3 people

     If I had to choose three people to have a conversation with while drinking hot coco I would choose  Abraham Lincoln, Whodini, and Neil Harmstrong. I would want Abraham Lincoln at the get to gather so I can ask him how hard was it to be president during the civil war, how did you feel to be fighting and killing Americans, and did you think you were going to lose the war at some point. I would have Whodini there so he could teach me magic trips, ask him if he has ever almost ever died will trying to escape something( if so how many times), and if he was mad that he died by getting punched in the stomach since he has done more dangerous things. Lastly I would want Harmstrong there so I can ask him if he really waked on the moon since there is speculation and doubt that America sent people on to the moon

The Invention to Relive a Memory

If there was an invention that could bottle up a memory, I would choose the memory of my family vacation to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It was about a twelve hour drive in a cramped van with every seat filled. Luckily we left the house at night so everyone(but the driver of course) was able to sleep off most of the hours. By time every one woke up we were already in West Virginia. The scenery in West Virginia was amazing. Every were you looked there were mountains with trees all over them, clear blue sky’s, and nice fresh air. This kind of scenery lasted all the way to North Carolina. So I was pretty happy that I was able to wake up in that state. After a few more hours of driving and a pit stop or two we finally made it to are hotel. We had a beautiful hotel room that had a full kitchen, washing and drying machine, two bathrooms with showers in them, several beds, and my favorite part about the room was we had a balcony. It was great to go out there in the morning and just listen to the waves and admire the calmness of the ocean. After we spent some time unpacking and checking out the hotel room we headed for the beach. After a little bit of walking we finally made it to the beach. The sand felt so warm in between the my toes and the ocean had a salty smell that I haven’t smelled in a very long time. Everyone ran right into the ocean once we got a spot to put are stuff. The water at first was cold, but after awhile it felt really good since it was a hot day. As the trip went on my cousin and I made lots of friends from different places. Some where from the south, others from the north, but all of them were great people. For most of the trip we ate out a lot, but my mom would occasionally make a home cooked meal. It was such a fun trip, but before we knew it the seven day vacation was over and we were on the rode again heading back for good-ole Ohio. These are the reasons I would choose this memory to go inside the bottle. However I wouldn’t open it every day to relive that moment. If I did the experience would get boring after a while. For me it would be a once in a while thing.

My nuber one rule

   My number one rule that every guy should live by is leaving a one urinal space between you and inside the bathroom. There are many reasons why I think this rule should apply to every guy in the restroom. Reason number one is to keep things from being acquired and uncomfortable. The reason for this is simple. The bathroom is supposed to be a calming place equanimity. Nobody wants some random guy all up in there space when they're trying to use the bathroom. Another reason is its kind of weird. I know what public bathrooms can get crowded at places like cedar point, baseball stadiums, and concerts, but unless you're about to have an accident at that exact moment you can wait for a spot to open up or use a stall. The last and probably the most important reason is... It's GUY CODE to stay away from a guy when he is using the restroom.
   These are the reasons why I think every guy should leave a one urinal opening between him and another guy.
