Oklahoma Weather

Oklahoma weather is pretty crazy. One day it can be in the 40's and in the next day, it can be in the 70's. When its hot, its very hot, when its cold, its very cold. It rained sooo much this summer and last winter we had some of the worst ice storms.

I think that some men and some women think that there should be roles for the opoosite sex. But I believe that in today's society, roles are becoming more and more equal. Who knows, by next election we may have a female president! That would be something, I can tell you that. There are of course people who think women should just be housewives and stay at home moms. And men should always be the hard worker and bring home the money. But really it goes both ways now. Times are changing.

Are celebrities as happy as they seem? I don't think so. I would think that they have all kinds of pressures to deal with like keeping up an image and not messing up. It is so easy to get caught doing bad things and having them blown up and just ruining someones career. How many celebrities have we heard of doing drugs, drinking and driving, just bad things. I think the publication of these problems just brings them down even more. The who is skinny and who has had plastic surgery junk is getting ridiculous.

How addicted is society to cell phones? I think we are very addicted to them. It is almost a necessity for some. I know I hate going anywhere without my cell phone. What gets me is people who are on their phone while they are driving. That is one thing that needs to change at least with a law. I heard kids in kindergarten were having phones in school. That is just ridiculous. Who knows, I bet cell phones will be irrelevant one day. Technology is crazy.

What would it be like to be The President of the United States? First off it would be a huge honor I'm sure. But I wonder what it must be like having all that power? I know if I were President I would be very stressed, the things you have to keep up with inside the U.S. let alone the rest of the world would be too much for me. Dealing with tragedies all the time, it must be like an emotional roller coaster.

Would I tell my best friend if their significant other is cheating on them and with whom? I sure would. I know what its like to be on the best friend side of the whole cheating thing and it is terrible. It is one of the worst feelings in the world to know your girlfriend is or has cheated on you. I would tell anyone, best friend or not if they were being cheated on and I knew about it. It is so shady.

My favorite kind of music is a toss up. I like rock music, but I also like rap. I really like the variances in the different types of rock music from punk to hard rock to alternative. Rap is one of my favorites because I really like the sounds of the melodies and beats that are produced. It is crazy how music is always changing, but it is very entertaining, I enjoy all music really.

Journal Entry 6

I don't know what I would do if I had ten million dollars. I do think that I would buy a house. I would also like to buy a new car. Then, I would decide to never work again. I do not understand how people who win the lottery end up being broke. I can not imagine being able to spend ten million dollars, let alone more than that. I think I would like to move on top of getting a new house, I would build a brand new one. A house on a golf course would be nice.

Journal Entry 4

What embarrasses me the most? Getting fired. Today, I got fired from my job, or, "let go," as they called it. Under the circumstances, it is considered retalitation for a prior incident. But that is a whole different story. It is quite embarrassing being fired because it has to do with your pride. It seems everything good you feel about working and earning money is going down the drain. All that hard time and work put in with nothing in return but a, "see ya," is very hurtful. It was embarrassing telling co-workers that working there was no longer an option but an order. That is very embarrassing and humiliating. Especially I wasn't in the wrong.

Journal Entry 3

I do not particularly have someone in my mind that would be considered a hero to me. I think the definition of a hero is someone that has done something life-saving, or life-changing for a person. I also think that people overuse the term to describe people they admire. For instance, I see a lot and hear a lot of people say that they have heroes, like sports figures, famous personalities. You may look up to them, but just because you admire them, it does not mean they are a hero to you. It may be a personal thing that I don't understand. But when I see another person call Michael Jordan his or her hero, I just brush it off. I guess the closest thing to a hero I would have would be my parents. My dad is a police officer in Oklahoma City, he has saved people on April 19th, and many other times. He would be someone that I look up to. My mom would be up there too, only because she has put up with 2 boys for well over 17 years and is still alive.

I'm sure I have gotten away with telling a lie, but I do not think I have gotten away with telling a big lie. I cannot really think of any examples to talk about, but I am sure I have gotten away with doing so before. Of all the, "big," lies I can recall, (mainly ones about hiding grades), I haven't gotten away with that before. I used to always check the mailbox as soon as possible, take my report card and stuff it somewhere that it would not be found. But usually it would by some freak accident, it was unbelievable. I learned that doing something like that is not wise because the punishment is much worse by putting off than it is just getting the whole ordeal over with at the beginning! I bet I've gotten away with small, "fibs," before. I consider fibs for example, to be something I'll say to my girlfriend just so she'll stop arguing with me, or something I will say to my parents so that they will get off my case! Who knows, maybe this whole journal is a lie? I guess thats for me to know, and you to maybe find out.

Journal Entry 1

I don't have the best memory. But one of the first vivid ones that I have is about when I won a prize. In the 5th grade, selected students received an award from the President for Academic Excellence. Well during 5th grade graduation, they announced who won. They said 5 kids received this award, but they hadn't notified the recipients ahead of time so it was a surprise. Well after the first couple of names they called, I was thinking, man there is no way I'll get this, then sure enough they called me. It was one of the few times I've felt so surprised and lucky. I still have the certificate and also a pin that came with it. It is signed by Bill Clinton and my principal, haha.
