Guitar Man

Many people have a specific hobby they like to do in their free time. I personally prefer to play guitar. I've been playing since last July and I'm pretty good for just taking a ten lesson online course. I have an acoustic that was my grandpa's, and an electric that i bought with my own money. Playing some Zac Brown is how I relax after a long day, but I play more than just country. I also play some rock like Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones. That's my blog post for today.

Bottled-Up Memory

If I could bottle up one memory, it would be the memory of my first time rappelling face-forward, or "angel style." I would open it every once in a while when I would want to go rappelling or I was bored and needed some excitement. It was a cool, cloudy day, around 60 degrees, and i hadn't went rappelling until that day. I had already went down the rocks a few times, but I hadn't went down angel style before.

Minecraft

Minecraft is a great game that is enjoyed by many people. Just about anybody can pick it up and play with its simple controls and endless possibilities. The game gives you so much freedom you can do almost anything. You could build a PSY sculpture out of colored wool in creative mode, or you can just thrive in a one room cabin in survival mode. You can also join a multiplayer server and play with or against your friends and others around the world. In Minecraft you can explore caverns looking for diamonds, start a waterside wheat plantation, or even be a shepherd. Those are just a few of the great things in Minecraft.

Why we should be off on Veteran's Day

As many people may have realized, we don't have school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but yet we still have school on Veteran's Day. The district says that they have school on Veteran's Day to educate students about Veteran's Day, but that is highly hypocritical. If they really believe that we should have school on certain holidays, just to learn about that holiday, would it really make sense to call school off on others? It would make more sense as a district to give students Veteran's Day to spend time with their friends or relatives who are veterans, instead of making them go to school for the day.

My Business Letter

Mrs. DeBolt

Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

Hi, my name's Ed Bohnert. I'm 13 years old, and I'm currently in your second hour class. I realize that you don't know me very well, so I'll tell you a little about myself. I am in the Boy Scouts of America, and I enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time with my friends, as well as gaming. I've been in Scouts since first grade, and I am currently working on the Star scout rank. I hope to achieve the rank of Eagle before I'm 16, so I can do more of the fun things like camping, hiking, and rappelling without having to worry about rank requirements. There's some things about me.

I'm looking forward to many things in my future. I am planning on going to a highly rated university for a degree that I'm not really sure of. I would like to be in the CIA when I'm older, or maybe the Air Force or Navy. I would want a decently sized house, but yet not a huge mansion. I hope to have a loving family with two beautiful children. those are my hopes for the future.

I have quite a bit of experience with computers. I normally use computers for things like syncing music to MP3 players and gaming, but I also use them for word documents and PowerPoint presentations. I don't normally use my computer to browse the web since I use my iPod instead. I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to how the computer runs and how networks work. The one thing i don't like about my own personal computer is the fact that it seems like it just doesn't want to work even after I performed a complete virus scan and fixed the registry. Well, there's my experience with computers.

Sincerely,

Ed Bohnert

Bellringer 1/15

Arturo was running away. He had stolen $5 million from an extremely successful armaments company, then destroyed the headquarters. Or at least that's what the authorities thought. They believed he was a member of the known terrorist group, Al Aman, and the group completely endorsed his actions. But they weren't his.

Childhood

Ah the glorious memories of childhood. The other day i started playing the Sly Cooper HD collection for the PS3 gaming console. Most people either didn't play or can't remember Sly Cooper from the PS2, but I personally believe it was a great gaming franchise. The HD collection  has completely remastered these games both in visual quality and audio quality. It brought back great memories of my childhood playing Sly Cooper. That's a childhood memory for you.
