Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving isn't always celebrated by my family but when it is we usually have a great time. My family always makes food and invites a lot of relatives to come over and feast with us, most of our family lives a great distance away so sometimes not everyone makes it.  When my family does make it we eat, laugh, catch up, and have a good time.

What this holiday means to me is a very big deal because I get to see my cousins and family members some of which I haven't seen in almost a year. Thanksgiving is important to me because it lets everybody know what you should truly be thankful for not just for possessions but for family. Usually during the time off nothing special happens because my mom still goes to work but i'm thankful for my mom having a job.

Thanksgiving is a special holiday to me and my family because we let each other know that we appreciate one another. Thats all we really do during the break we show each other that we are thankful for still being alive and thankful that we have a stable home. Most of all we let each other know we love each other and we always will.

Art

Graffiti

I'm not really into any type of art, but when it comes to graffiti my whole mind changes. To me graffiti is a way to express the art thats trapped in your mind, this type of art is more interesting and just pops out more. Graffiti is isn't liked well because of kids "tagging" over city property, but when the city does give permission to professional taggers or "artists" the out come is very beautiful.

I think graffiti is looked as street art, which is what I am in to. Most people however refuse to look at it as art because it has nothing to do with the art back then. Graffiti is modern art, art that has definitely changed but either way you look at it it's art and something very hard to do. 

Extra Credit

No I have not seen any david Blaine specials, how ever I really did like the magic because it was really weird to see him do all these tricks and illusions. I really did like watching the special because it entertained me and I thought it was really interesting since I don't really watch magic at all. 

My favorite illusion that he did on the special was the last one on the show, when he stuck a needle in his arm and had the other guy freaking out. This was my favorite because of the guys reaction and the way david blaine faked or looked to fake his pain. In this act david got a very large needle and started to slowly push it through his arm, eventually the needle came out the other side it went in. When he pulled it out there were no scares or blood it was like nothing had happened to him.

The illusion I liked the least would have been the kerosine trick when he learns to vomit all the water he drinks, the reason on why I liked this one the least is because I had seen it before. Also another reason would be because the image of him vomiting the water and kerosine back out to me is kind of disturbing. I would definitely watch his next special because its very entertaining in my eyes, and I would rate the show a 10.

6. Graduate 

7. Go to college

Perserverence

If I had to choose between getting $50 right now, or wait 1 full year and get $100. In my opinion I would choose the $100 because if you wait for 1 year, the day you get the money may be the time you actually need it. I think its best to wait because it has something to do with perseverance whatever your goal may be you have to wait to achieve it, so having to wait for $100 will be a start on being patient but not giving up.


I would think that everybody should definitely have long term goals, weather you know of them yet is another question. I definitely have long term goals, my goals would be to go to college and get the best education I can so I can live the best life I can achieve. My plans to achieve this are finding a job and going to college at the same time. Going to work and school at the same time is definitely going to be a challenge but I know that i'm going to need perseverance to achieve my goals without it I would not even be trying.

My Top Five

Video Games

#5 Battle Field 3

I like battle field because it is a slow pace game. This game makes you think before you act. It is my least favorite game because I personally like fast pace games & this game is too slow for me.

#4 Grand Theft Auto San Andres

Grand Theft Auto is a very interesting game and it very fun to play. Gta is known for its violence and free roaming because in this game you can do whatever it is you want to do. However I find this game to get a little bit repetitive because you do the same thing over and over.

#3 Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast

Dragon Ball Z has always been my favorite anime. I like to play this video game because I get to play as my favorite characters. This game is 3rd on my list because its very fun and also challenging because you fight against friends.

#2 Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Call Of Duty is overall the best franchise in my opinion. Mw3 is a very competitive game because you have to constantly be watching your back to make sure you don't get killed. This game is number 2 on my list because I like these type of games, because they are fast pace and hard to play.

#1  Call Of Duty Black Ops 2

Black ops 2 is my favorite game because last year they introduced a game mode called league play, in this game mode you play against competitive people. Not only is it harder to get kill streaks but its also harder to stay alive if you don't have your teams support. Also this game continued and ended the story line of zombies which was amazing.
