We arrived at a island called Great Sirrup Cay. There I went snorkeling and saw amazing fish. But we still had to get through a boring procedure of geting to the island on a small boat.<br /><br />When we arrived I changedd and then immediatly, my ddad and I went to purchase a snorkel for me. The hard part was how to put the snorkel one. Soon I got it on and tried to dive. I did it however I didn't stay too long down there. I kept trying and soon, I got used to it. I saw coral reefs and many fasinating fish. The fish were all different. Some of them had yellow and black stripes, another was very big and my favorite was the big fish that had long fins. To me I couldn't quit. Then I saw my friend. We started to play tag. We did get bored of it so we tried to catch fish. We got cups and tried to scopp them up. It was hard because we can't swim fast unlike the fish. They go so fast that thed sand burts up and clouds my view. I just kept trying and trying. Then I just try to see the fish and just stay. When the fish come they get scooped in. However saying it is easier than doing it. I can't hold my breath very long underwater. So all the times I missed. Well at least I having fun. I just kept on snokeling. Then my dad said it was time to go. I was sad because I liked snokeling. Oh well I thought. At least I expierieced a new experience.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-8533980330456105612008-01-06T12:37:00.000-08:002008-01-09T14:00:51.300-08:00NCL:day 5Today we went to the main location where the ship was mainly going. Nassau, Bahamas which is the biggest place in the Bahamas. We went there to do one thing. Visit Atlantis. It's the biggest and the funnest in the world that I had seen Since we weren't residents in the area, we just explore the public places which there was a lot. To me, this place is bigger than a Mohegan Sun at our region.<br />When we got of the ship, we went to a place where lots of people gather. Since my mom's company employees are here, we gathered and went on a van. Our first stop was Atlantis. When we arrived at the location, it was beautiful .I looked around and down .I saw a canal and additionally, the water was a clean that you could literally drink it. Soon we all went inside the hotel and it was like wonderland. The ceiling is like Taj Mahal with the round dome. We went to the resturant area and that place contained an aquarium. It had many fascinating fish. Large small and everything in between. There were even sharks . That amazed me a little. Soon we went to other places. We went to the outside where there were beaches and lots of funstuff. I was a bit impatient because it was very hot like summer in China and it is only winter.<br />We found a ponnd and there were boat rentals. We took a kayak. I used to go kayaking in ccamp however the boat here is very strange. It had no fence and sometimes, I was about to fall. We were just rowing around and then rain started to fall. Then we rowed more and the rain had ended. That is very strange. In New York, that is ultra rare. Our times was up. We alked to a strange place and it was very hot. It was the place where the swimming pools were. It also had a gigantic water slide but I did not get a very good look at the place. Eventually we were walking and back onto a charter bus. When we arrived I went to the roomy and my parents went to visit places. I was watching television and doing work. I waited so long it was like three days of waiting. After all that waiting my parents came. At night I went swimming and my friend was also there. We were playing tag and going on the water slide. It was very fun and the temperature was just right. It wasn't hot nor cold. we went to eat dinner and and watch a show. The show was the worst thing I ever seen and luckly we didnt have to pay for this. It was about clors and it didn't even have my favorite color which was green. That was the end of today.

They were all in the same classroom in the fourth. The teacher Mrs. Smash Your Head Down was teaching all students in the school. Here is what she wrote: "A blew berd flue on Cuncreate Cranky Ewlometary scowl. Prinsipell-Mr. Mushroom. Ascistent princepel: Mr. Glasses" A kid named Smartypants said:" Did you check your spelling? If you spelled the way I do, you would be correct." Here is what he wrote:"A blue bird flew on Concreate Crazy Elmentry School. Principal-Mr.Mushroom, Assistant Princpal-Mr.Glasses."<br /><br />It was pack up time.<br />Dumbdude needed to use the bathroom. He went with Macaroni and Butt. As Dumbdude walked with his friends, they kept talking and didn't notice they were going into the girls' bathroom. When the girls came in, Dumbdude asked:"Why are you in the boys bathroom?" The girls got so mad they punched Dumbdude and his partners out and the girls said:"Read!" And Dumbdude read so did his friends. They were all surprised. "Uh!!!" said Dumbdude. He was very crazy. They went out. Macaroni remembered something. "We forgot the pppppass." They ran to class and slowed down. "I just remebered something."said Dumbdude. Macaroni was curious. He thought what would something happen at the bathroom. There weren't any bathroom signs on the other one. There was fifteen minutes before they left. Dumbdude grabbed Macaroni and Butt's hands. Dumbdude raced to the third floor."WWWhere are we going?"asked Macaroni and Butt at the same time. "To the third floor." replied Dumbdude. "Slow down, Dumbduuuude. My pants are falling." said Butt. Bam! They knocked down a door of a first grade classroom. They fell like dominoes.<br /><br />After they passed the classroom, they continued running and when they reach the third floor, they saw two girl's bathrooms. On the other side, it still had girl's bathrooms. Macaroni realized that ten minutes past. "Guys, ten minutes just passed." said Macaroni. Dumbdude raced up. The class left but the door was still open. They packed as fast as they can. "Meet me at night at twelve o' clock sharp with a flashlight and any keys you have to open any doors or seceret codes. " Dumbdude told everybody.<br /><br />Chapter 2:<br /><br />Dumbdude told everything to his parents what they did and that he needed to go to an investigation. So his parents allowed him to go. Luckily, Dumbdude's mom was a P.T.A member. She had every key to every classroom. She even had every seceret code. Dumbdude had a flashlight. At midnight twelve o' clock sharp, Macaroni, Butt and Dumbdude met and got into the school's hall.<br /><br />Dumbdude showed the keys, seceret codes and explain how to solve them and a map of the whole school and everything inside of the school. He even told them plan A, B, and C. Butt brought see-through glasses and showed how to use them. He even told them that it could see invisible objects. Butt remebered he had a pack of batteries so when the power was out, he could have power. Macaroni had ice that would never melt so they wouldn't fall asleep.<br /><br />It was time to start plan A. Plan A was to count the security cameras on all the floors and log them out. Dumbdude saw someone's shadow. He ran so fast but no one was there. Dumbdude wore his see-through glasses and saw writing on the wall. Before he even started reading it, Dumbdude came. He heard that Macaroni shouted to him: "Look what I found! A boys bathroom sign, and behind it was a machine! It was in a girl's locker room. " "I'm in heaven " said Butt. "We are only gonna stop at plan B" Now only one sign was found. But the mystery is not yet solved.<br /><br />Chapter 3:<br /><br />Dumbdude and his friends decided who would take all the boys bathroom signs and replace them with girl's bathroom signs. We'll descuss this tomorrow in the school pa<br /><br />Chapter 4:<br /><br />They met together under a bridge. They discussed who might be behind the scene of the crime. They used a flashlight and found nothing. They found four clues. The clues were a boomerang, a stick, a boy's bathroom sign and and a piece of cloth. In next trip, they found invisible footprints. The footsize were size two.<br /><br />There was a message, and three jars with different colors. Macaroni took the paper. (since he was a good reader.) The message said: Dear Dumbdude, Macaroni and Butt,<br />Use these three jars to create invisible ink. After you created the invisible ink, take any flashlight and see the ink. In the bottom of the letter it didn't have a closing.<br /><br />Dumbdude was thinking. Macaroni was making fire so he can see any invisible ink on the letter. Macaroni knew how to becareful with fire. Butt was inventing a measuring stick with only twigs and leaves.<br /><br />When Butt was finished he marked the inches with the ax that his parents bought him. The ax wasn't real it was just a toy. When Butt finished Macaroni found the answer to the question. Dumbdude wrote down what everyone had seen. It wasn't long before Dumbdude saw something drop. When Dumbdude went where the thing he saw something drop, there was nothing. He opened the flashlight that can see invisibility. Still nothing that was strange. Dumbdude thought nothing + nothing = nothingest? He knew that nothingest isn't a word and also it wasn't right.<br /><br />Dumbdude went back to his friends. They went to discuss what they builded, discovered and made. Butt shared his first. It was called the measuring stick. It had big leaf for every exact inch and a smaller leaf for every half inch and the smallest leaf for every quarter inch. so it will be easier to measure how tall the liquid will be. Macaroni showed Dumbdude and Butt the answer to the letter. Dumbdude told Macaroni and Butt that he heard something and saw something drop. But when he went to where the thing drop nothing he also shouted out no one even claimed it.<br /><br />Dumbdude told Macaroni and Butt with his organs bursting that this mystery is driving him crazy.<br /><br />Chapter 5: On the next day, somrthing strange happened. Dumbdue woke Macaroni. " Today is tomorrow and tomorrow is yesterday. Wake up! cried Dumbdude "look outside. Do you see anything strange happened?" said Butt Macaroni put his glasses on. and chanted out "yes. On the hill has many cannons." " And you know what" cried Dumbdude "what" said Macaroni and Butt at the same time. " We Can watch the war." " But we're in the center of this war so we better hurry and pack up. Our perents paid money for a bigger hotel." said Dumbdude calmly.<br /><br />The group ran onto a taxi and squish in the small car. The car was small but it was fast.<br /><br />When they got in the hotel, the kids went swimming in the pool. The next day the family went to watch people playing Chinese chess in a school. It was getting hot outside so they had ran so fast bursted through the doors and actualy knocked them down and opened the air conditioner. "Boy, was it hot today" said Dumbdude.<br /><br />"Great news guys" Dumbdude replied out loud "the hotel lent us a letter that we can play the instruments in the first floor and the hotel people will put the instruments out so we'll be ready.<br /><br />Chapter 6:<br /><br />It was time to recite. Bumbdude plays the saxophone, Marararoni plays the violin and Butt will be playing the drums. Dumbdude's head was shaking. That's what Dumbdude does when he's excited. Macaroni just found out that they don't know what song we're going to play that all three can play. But right before they got down to the first floor they decided to play "My Heart Will always go on " When the concert was fineshed Dumbdude and the gang won first place. That was so cool.<br /><br />During the next day, they went fishing. Butt and Dumbdude caught fish Macaroni caught a soaked paper It said: In this water one of you will catch a shoe. That was very wierd<br /><br />" I cauaght the shoe" cried Butt triumphantly. " Great whats inside it ?" said Dumbdude curiosly. " paper to us by no one. said Butt<br /><br />The kids see what is in the shoe. Every paper had a number. The first one said : xiz ep zpv ibwf up tpmwf uijt nztusz, for these two days, Dumbdude went in the library and get every language book and see if there was the same writing on the first letter but Dumbdude coudn't find the answer to it. He thought of it. It maybe be a seceret code.<br /><br />Chapter 7: It was true. He got a book about the seceret codes and he read it. He did find out what it said. It said: "Why do you have to solve this mystery?"<br /><br />Butt invented a super seceret code solver. It's just like a films in the movies exept this one can tell you every answer from a seceret code. The one Butt invented was out of toilet paper for the so you can see the writing on and the toilet cap for the camera to put it on, flashight for the light with the bottum cutted, a big tape holder for the toilet paper, a plugger for the power sorce and a on off button.<br /><br />Now they have every letter solved. Macaroni was reading books. Dumbdude and Butt needed help. They called Macaroni for a small jet plane. They needed to put engine and the steering wheel. It was a very small jet right now but Butt just formulated a machine that will transfer the small thing into a humungus one. Dumbdude made three driver's Licens. Very shortly they tested it out. It was great, nothing was wrong.<br />Very shortly, they took off. "Hey look, I found a boy's bathroom sign!" shouted Dumbdude. "Nice" said Macaroni. Dumb dude turned the sign and saw a letter. "open it shouted Butt. Dumbdude opened it and gave it to Macaroni. "What!" "what!"WHAT!!" Macaroni said "this is stupid!" Dumbdude and Butt gathered around Macaroni and read the letter. It said: Dear Dumbdude , Macaroni, and Butt,<br />Dumbdude are you a dude thats stupid? Macaroni, do you have cheese in your body? And Butt, are you stinky since you fart a lot?I want to know that all of the answers are yes.<br />sincerelly,<br />anonymes<br />" Dam. This guy is gay or if the person is a girl lesibian" cried Macaroni smacking his head. "I know he's crazy, but we can't just give up. We have to find those signes even if our body's feels like carzy cold groovy girls. We got to find those darn dam old stupid signes." exclaimed Dumbdude. Butt shouted" Okay. We will find those darn dam old stupid signes."They walked<br />to the library and borrowed books that are english. Macaroni started reading. They were all how solve mysteries. "hey guys, I have a detective set. It has a magnefine glass, a book, hose, a invisible ink jar and a invisible light finder." said Butt. "what is a invisible light finder?" Dumbdude asked curiously. " It is a gadget that finds invisible writing anywhere." Macaroni said<br />Chapter 8: Dumbdude wondered " where were the signs and who got the guts to do this drunken thing. Maybe he drank beer? " Butt spurted out " I found a cape and a shadow. Should we follow it? " Macaroni " yes run." Then they all ran so fast no saw then until "bump. ""Um he he hi." Watch it careless dude." The lady said. "ok. Nno wait. Stay there you dimwit. I'm a woman so see me punch you until you learned that you are careless. and I'm especially not a dude. "The woman punched Macaroni like a rattlesnake bites. Macaroni ran away from the woman. Until he smashed into a statue and said" you want a piece of me huh???" Macaroni punched the statue so hard until he heard Dumbdude say "hurry up you dimwitted nerd." They ran back to the hotel. "Now what do we do?" asked Butt. "Can I please have a match?" Macaroni saidsupermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-54090766659521864412007-12-31T16:21:00.000-08:002007-12-31T16:58:43.877-08:00NCL: Day 3It is the third day and today we stopped at a location called Cape Canaveral. The weather was very cloudy and humid. We took a bus that guided us around places. It goes to a shoppping mall, a beach and some other shops to. We went to a shopping mall and just looked around. I saw many shops but it wasn't that big like the one we used to go in Long Island. When we exited the small mall, we wnted to go to the beach. We waited tons of hours and finally a bus came. When we arrived at the beach, it was very cold! On the beach their was a trail of dead fish and it smells like rotton eggs. I was disgusted and curious, I didn't know how they died. We exited the beach very quickly. Then we just looked in some stores opened. It was just a regular day. After all this we went into a van and went to the cruise. The driver said that algae killed the fish. I was very interested about his speech. When we arrived at the pier, we went back to the ship and ate. I was very hungry. Now at evening is my favorite part. The show was about a juggler and he was very funny. Funnier than a comedian. He juggled and it was satisfaction to me todaay after that wierd day outside. When I went out the theater I bursting with laughter. I couldn't control it. that is my story for today.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-24186902753580140982007-12-31T08:57:00.000-08:002007-12-31T09:21:21.052-08:00NCL:day 2<a name="8173424856682622396"></a><br />On the second day, we were all on sea. We didn't stop anywhere. The weather was ultra windy like you could fall off any time on the outside decks. The best pert of the day was that I made two new friends on the boat.In the morning, the weather was very windy but for the most part it was a great day. Soon in the afternoon we went swimming and at that time the temperature was cooperating with us. Additionally the pool was heated which made it more enjoyable. There was also a yellow waterslide. When I went up, it was freezing when I was waiting for my turn. When I slid down, I went faster than a motercycle. I found an interesting item. The pool water is salty like the sea however the slide's water is fresh like the water we drink. I found it very strange. Soon we went to our stateroom and got dried up. We decided to have a microscopic expedition around the ship. We ventured to a location where the winds were so strong, I felt like I was about to fall off, so I held any possible thing. After the severe expedition I went to a game room. I saw people playing board games. I thought it might be fun. I person came up to me and asked if I wanted to play chess. While we were at it, we became friends. At night we decide to see a show. This show was aboout songs and dances from all over the world. To me it wasn't that bad excpt for the back grounds. I really liked it. Some of them were as color ful wa the rainbow. When the show ended we went to eat dinner at a french resturant. The plates were my favorite. It was something out of this world. It had vines, bugs, and butterflies. It was extremely decorative.My favorite dish was the frog leg soup. It was green like a ogor but it was good as a hot dog to me. When our main courses came my belly was going to explode if I eat another bite. That's the end of my wonderful second day.<br />posted by supermario at <a class="post-footer-link" title="permanent link" href="http://planetxboy.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-second-day-we-were-all-on-sea.html">8:11 AM </a><a class="comment-link" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14942111&postID=8173424856682622396">0 Comments</a> <a title="Edit Post" style="BORDER-TOP-STYLE: none; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: none; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: none" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=14942111&postID=8173424856682622396"></a><br />Sunday, December 30, 2007<br /><a name="4560921929783483665"></a>supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-59769654091376301982007-12-31T08:58:00.001-08:002007-12-31T09:17:53.625-08:00NCL: Day1A few years ago, I went off to a cruise liner called the Carnival Triumph. Now on the 2007 winter break, I went to a cruise entitled the Norweigian Gem. The ship is new and extraordinary. I am considered the first passengers of this titanic sized luxurious ship.I saw the enormous sized ship when I got to the port. It haad a unusual design which obtained gems. It had rubies, sapphires and so on. Then we had to get through this retarded procedure of seeing your passports and tickets. I was bored to death. As I soon as we got on board, we first ate at a buffet. Usually I hate buffets but for some reason this buffet was extraordinary. The food was very good. It had anything you desired to eat. The moment we finished, we ventured through the public lounges. (Note: there are private fooms too) We only visited the inside of the ship because the outside is so cold you could be a frozen ice berg! At night, I went out and saw that people were literally swimming. "Mama mia " I thought I was in a hallucination. Soon the boat left the pier. I saw the last of NYC.Its dinner time! We order some food I never heard of. When we got to our main course, the ship started to rock very hard. I got very dizzy that my parents thought I was sick. We finished fast and went to bed. Moments later we went to watch a show. It had magic which is my favorite entertainment.The day was full of fun. Though the road got bumpy and we had to stop but tomorrow I will be back on track.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1159148412224081442006-09-24T18:12:00.000-07:002007-12-31T09:05:27.587-08:00Magic KingdomIt was a rainy day, but I was still excited about going to Magic Kingdom. As we all know that Orlando has the best amusmet parks. When we arrived at Magic Kingdom it looked like a doll hoouse village. Just at that moment, a parade of disny's characters. When they came, I was very pleased to meet them especially see them live. Such as Micky Mouse and fairy tale creatures. Some even held our hands. My hand was too low so they couldn't held it.<br />When we got into Tomorrow land, We were searching for rides. "Hey dad, lets ride this ride." I said. After waiting on line, we piled up into a car with fake guns. The purpose was to shoo t anything you see. I started blasting all over the place. I shot both good and bad guys. Then when we came to a part where robots were moving, and we could only see stars and it made me thought we were going fast. I was amazed. It just invested my brain that it looked so real. When we got off the car I thought we had gone into another dimension. Next I spotted a cylinder like shape dome. "Lets check it out." my dad said. "sure "I said<br />When we got in, we found out that it was a movie theater. It was called the Carousel of progress. We got two private little seats in the front. I learned that it was telling us how life was changing until now. I enjoyed it and I also figured out that my dad liked too because he was a laughing. When we got out I decided to ride the tour train called the "blue line." During the ride I saw something that attracted my eyes like a butterfly would get attracted to a flower. I begged my dad to let us go there. He said yes. I was so excited. When we got on line, I automatically knew that this was a popular ride since the line was very long.<br />After a time like finishing up lunch, we finally got into a car. It was a racing game.The cars had endgines. Since the brake was to hard for me to pushsupermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-28384984983627088182007-08-06T07:25:00.000-07:002007-08-08T12:57:33.952-07:00My first camping tripThe summer of 2007, I went on my first camping trip. The day before the camping started, I went to my firend Candace's house for a sleepover. The next morning we'll just go with them. During that night we played "uno" until bedtime. When it was 12:30 a.m, we slept. At 6:00 a.m we woke up to play uno. Eventually we both decided to watch a movie. I let Candance pick which movie we should watch . She decided "Blades of Glory." After the movie was over and finished breakfast, we entertained ourselves with uno again. Approximitly at 10 we left. As we were getting closer to the camp, I saw a lake,, a farm with horses and the next thing I knew was that we were at my campsite. It was called Camp Aquehonga and my troop were at site eleven. My mom and Candance's daddropped my things and said bye. Then we all have to adjust the campsite. We plotted fire buckets near the tents. Our senior patrol leader said theat we should change into our swimming suits because we had to take a swimming test. It was a bit of a long walk to the pool and then a staff told us that we are last to take the test so we decided to head back to camp. We did some random stuff and then headed back to the pool and changed. During the middle of waiting, it started raining. Soon I was in and it stopped raining. I took the swimmers test and failed it beccause of the last lap which was the back stroke. When the whole troop was done, we got food to cook and went to the camp. After the dinner we had we had a welcome assebly. We saw skits and heard songs. At that time it was very late. When we approached our base I went to sleep.<br /><br />Day two:At 6:20 in the morningwe were waking up . It was freezing when we woke up. I wore my warmest clothes. Thenwe had to get food which the golfors got. After cooking and eating, I was KP, I cleaned the dishes.<br /><br />We went to our first class. Mine was basketry and most peoples in my troop went there too. THe staff told us how to weave the baskets and then we traveled to the canteen to buy our first basket kit. It was a round one and pretty easy to weave. It was so much fun that I wished I could do it forever. However time was up and time for me to go to mammal study . After the lame intro, we got to the main point. I learned that all mammals have seven characteristics. They are:live birth, high IQ, they raise their young, produce milk , vertebrates, breathe aerobic air, and they all have fur of hair. I was seriously interested in this class. I had to transfer to my new class which was cooking. I had second thoughts about this class but I tried to be interested in this calss. Next was lunch. After the meal was leatherwork. The staff gave us all leather and we would use stamps and pound them in. After thatwe went swimming. THey had a water slide. Iwent so fast that I didn't see anything.When we finished dinner, some kids like me had to go to astronomy or other classes. I learned some new stuff. Then at 9:30 p.m, my friends and I went to look at stars for astromy. The guide was speaking but it was freezing cold that I couldn't concentrate. Class ended and I went to sleep. The next day was the same. Consequently on Wednesday was my lucky day. I dfid the swimmer's test and I passed thanks to Mr. Becker who helped me on the back stroke. THen my friends showed me a place where we go catch frogs. WE had a great time and we caught three frogs intotal. Also dinner was a barbeque. I was so joyful for that day.

They’ll be traveling mostly in a forest with many creatures.<br />“Yo, John you’ll need a lot of water or Gatorade, a two person tent, two sleeping bag, unlimited supplies of batteries, sixteen sweatshirts and T-shirts, eight pairs of pants, a compass, a rain poncho, a map or an atlas and two pairs of hiking boots. Got all that?” Zack asked<br />“All check, however we need a lot of food.” John replied<br />“Got all the food and all the things I told you.” Zack said<br />Now they headed off to a forest faraway. It was green and so natural.<br />“Oh snap!” John shouted “Did you remember to bring the ax bag and our pocket knives?”<br /><br />"yep" answered Zack with confidence.<br /><br />They continued on their hike until something attracted their eyes. It was a real life cheetah.<br /><br />"Holy mother, we better get out of here!" whispered Zack<br /><br />They crept out of the area quickly and they located an exquisite camp site. It had a river with not a lot of a current and not too high grass.Zack pithched the tent and John cooked some beef andcornwith gatorade.<br /><br />"Ah, a perfect meal to end the a hard working day.<br /><br />Chapter two: The next day, Zack unpitched the tent and John still cooked the foodwhich was eggs, bread and milk. When breakfst was done, they took off. Out of the bluecame flying sown a mad fast birdand took Zack's hat.<br /><br />"What in the world full of horshoe flies and marshmallows would take my hat?"<br /><br />Zack was so md because he worked very hard for that hat so he took outhis pocket knife and went after it After a few minutes he still couldn't get it . He putted his knife down and threw rocks, branches at his antagonist and eventually the enemy was down.Zack and John continued their expedition. From a distance they sited a grizzly bear with her cubs apprehending fish.<br />"Look at that" exclaimed John<br />" I see" Zack said" I'll take some pictures of it. "click click went the camera.<br />"Now that's enchanted." Zack said<br />As they continued on thay approached a enormous mountain.<br />"Should we scale it?" Zack asked.<br />"Why not" John replied" consequently, we've got to eat down here.<br />They each made their own sandwhich and finished it quickly.<br />Chapter 3: It was approximitly five in the afternoon. They were onnly on the bottom and it was chilly. They putted on their snow jackets and their warm sweatshirts.<br />"I thinkit's enough hiking for today." John said<br />"I agree" Zack said" I'll pitch the tents and you'll cook the food."<br />After they ate their mealthey went to bed early so they could wake up early. About five in the norning the woke up eating a banana adn orange juice.<br />" Now let us procede to our journey." John exclaimed<br />Consequently, things weren't going so well on their journey. First, they were goig up preety quick which obtain little oxygen. Then it was going chilly and finally a blizzard struck.<br />"Yo, John.hang on tight." Zack said<br />Usually John would say" sure thing dude," but this time he didn't. Zack knew that.<br />"John? Where are you? " Zack asked<br />No reply<br />"Oh my gawd" Zack said with astonishment."I'm lost!"<br />But worser than that was that Zack had the tent, John doesn't. John has all the the lighter, some dry wood and the flashlights, Zack doesn't. Luckily they both have bread and ham. Consequently, John will die of hyperthermiaand both might die of tuberculosis.<br />Chapter4:John also knew that he was lost so he immediatly gathered big and long sticks of wood . He used them to biuld a tepee. When he was done, he covered it with a towel so that snow won't come in. Then he used some stones to make a fire pit and put some sticks inside to make a fire.<br />Zack on the other hand was having a hassle making a fire. First, he tried rubbing two sticks together but nothing happened. Second he tried rubbing two stones together and still nothing came on fire. So eventually he established a fire pit and cleaning it. When he was done assembling a fire pit the sticks were dry, he started rubbing them together and then a fire came out. Now he stay warm and cook his food.<br />John could also stay warm just not that of a luxurious and a relaxing stay. Why? BecauseJohn has a sleeping bag but the tepee was smalland if one stick falls, the whole thing falls and it's bound to land on him.<br />The very next day, John decided to look for Zack and Zack decided to stay. He tried to make a tepee fire which very big. They soon found each other.<br />" Where were you?" Zack asked<br />"Never mind that." John replied "Lets just continue."<br />Chapter 6: A few days later they scaled the whole mountain and they saw eveerything. The vision was so clear and beautiful that they wanted to stay here forever.<br />" Lets camp here tonight." Zack said<br />"No problem" John replied<br />As usual, Zack pitched the tent and John cooked the food. The next morning they took pictures and left. Along the trail they saw<br />four men armed with guns around a camp fire.<br />"What are you guys doing out here?" asked Zack<br />"Well we werehiking and then we lost our patrol." said a soldier.<br />"You could come with us." John said<br />"Sure!" shouted all the soldiers.<br />Son enough something that made their eyes caught....<br />Chapter 7: They saw a cave and heard guns going off.<br />"I think their are burglars in those caves stealing minerals!" whispered a soldier " I think so because civilians or police officers don't real use those types of rapid fire guns and I'm in the army."<br />"Let's check it out. Everybody armed?" a soldier asked<br />"Yes sir" exclaimed everybody.<br />They went into the cave slowly and silently. Then they heard voices.<br />"We are going to make a lots of money" said a person with an accent<br />"Yes we are. Hehehe." another person shouted.<br />Zack and the crew knew what to be done. They had to stop them in a way.<br />"One of you guys alert the camp." Zack said.<br />"We don't know where it is?" A soldier said. "But we know our camp number. All we need is a phone."<br />"John, give them the emergency cell phone." Zack exclaimed<br />While the soldier was talking they were thinking of a plan. Then out of the blue<br />"What are you dimwits doing here!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled a big dude.<br />" You have no right to steal this stuff." shouted Zack<br />"Put your hands up and we won't do harm." shouted a soldier.<br />"You're telling me to put my hands up. No no no my friend. It is you who want to put your hands up." said the big dude who's name is Baxter. Then he whistled. A whole militia armed came.<br />"How many is there?" a soldier questioned Zack.<br />"Over 200 probably." Zack answered<br />Chapter 8:They were all very scared and didn't know what to do. They hoped that the army base was near.<br />"We could try distracting them until the army arrives." whispered Zack.<br />"Lets try it." whispered a soldier<br />"Yo what sup" shouted John<br />"Huh"exclaimed Baxter<br />"So what are you going to do with all that gold?" asked Zack<br />"SHUT UP NINCONPOOPS!!!!" shouted Baxter.<br />"We really need another way out."said Zack<br />The next day they were all dreary and Baxter and his gang decided to kill them.<br />"We putted stachels and half a canteen of oil"<br />"Stop right there thieves!" shouted a man on the horse.<br />"I'm afraid you are to late." Baxter said evily. "The stachels are already down to two minutes. Men get out of here with our emergency exit hole."<br />"Hop on these two horses quick." said the man.<br />The soldiers and Zack and John did exactly what he said. They all ran away. Then "BOOM"the fire came out of the cave and everyone was ok.<br />Chapter 9: "We know the way from here." Zack said<br />"Take the horse with you" The man said<br />"Thank you" said John.<br />Soon enough they were home.<br />"Now that was just crazy." John said.<br />"Next time we should go to a foreign country where there is civilization rather than a forest and get to near death." said Zack.<br />The Endsupermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1176165288468647672007-04-09T17:16:00.000-07:002007-04-10T06:21:23.866-07:00Fun day:Maybe notThe sky was blue. It seemed great but it was cold Sunday morning. I found out that we were going to Seaside Heights on the road to the place. It was in New Jersey. There were game stands amd resturants on a boardwalk. Best of all the casinos children could enter. Though the casinoswas mostly like an arcade. We were walking and came across a basketball shooting stand. It seemed easy but when I shot... I missed. What I saw was good and bad. It was like an amusment park. With roller coaster. Apparently most of the rides were closed. I wanted to ride Moby Dick. It spun up then down loke waves. Then I was shivering of frightness and of the coldness. So we didn't go. Next thing I knew, we were finding lunch. After a long time we found a resturant when I could have played 6 random games. Then we had to waitwhich I could have played 3 more random games. After the lunch break, mom gave me five dollars to spend on any gamese. I knew what I wanted to play. We came across a wheel of fortune. I didn't want to play it but someone forced me to play it. The prizes were electronics. Obviously I lost and wassted my money. After that I was very disappointed. For a short time we left. I wish next time no tortures so I can play freely.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1165196762773137592006-12-03T16:48:00.000-08:002006-12-03T17:46:02.913-08:00The upside down birthday party<p>When we arrived at my friend Candace's home. It was her birthday so to be respecful, we celebrate it. We started of the party when we were the only ones so we were practicing a duet. I play the piano as for Candance, she plays the violin. After a short time the rehersal was over because the duet was a secret and later be a surprise. We don't want anyone to know it. A child came to the house named Cindy. Candace went striaght to her. Later they sarted playing. When I entered the room, I found that they were setting up a game. I decided to help. As I colored, I talked to the people around me. Atlast we were finished. Next, while the girls were playing horses, I was playing legos. I found out that a lot of the pieces were missing. Then, Candance told me that Victor, a kidergardener wrecked all of the stuff. Then I told her that if he was here right now I would beat him up. I don't care if I nget into trouble, I care that he cries. (Just kidding. But I would ake him upset for ruining her toys and belongings) During that, people kept on begging me to play the piano. Then I got really upset , then I cried. ( Note: That's how I get away with things.) When I finally chilled down, everyone came and decided to watch T.V. Then we all started to get bored. Next we planned to play hide and seek. Eileen was always the last one to be found. She is the best hider. Candace was so excited that she opened the presents we gave her so far. I decided to watch what they were doing and how they played it until dinnertime. The dinner was real neat especially the chiken nuggets. They tasted just like the ones my school served at lunch. It seems that Candace starts everything because when everyone hasn't even finish eating, she just grabbed a dance mat called "Dance Mat 2"Later we were going crazy. Especially me. I made my own dance called the "Boom Shaca Laca." Everyone was laughing crazil and wild like a herd of wild buffalo.</p>supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1164586613842816302006-11-26T15:51:00.002-08:002006-11-27T18:33:33.793-08:00The awesome vacation.Day I: When we arrived at my uncle 's house, we took a quick tour of the house. It was neat, clean, and colorful. Since it wasn't dinner, I decided to play with my uncle. It was a chinese board game. Eventually I lost.It was time for dinner. It was a good meal. After that we decided to watch some T.V. One was a show and the other was a movie. When the ads came, I went to see the movie and when the show was back on, I watched that instead of the movie because it was more interesting. I was a migrating a lot. I quit migrating until the show ended and just focused on the movie until I went to sleep.<br />Day II:In the morning, we ate and then went outside to have fun. We kept migrating from store to store at night is when the real action begins. When we got to the outlet stores, we began shopping immediately. I wanted to go to K.B. Toys to check if they have a pool table. YES!!!!!! They had it. My eyes were attracted to it as if a butterfly got attracted to a flower. When we purchased it I was a going crazy and crying for joy.<br />"All these years I've been finding it and today was the day I had it. " I thought to myself.<br />then the boring stuff came.<br />"We have to go to kitchen stores to get ready for a Christmas party and maybe a New Year party." my mom said.<br />"Garrrrrr" I thought.<br />After all that searching for the right equipment, we went to a store called"Swarovski"which was a crystal shop. I bought a pack and I' m planning to give some to my uncle. Then we left the shop.<br />When uncle and our family met up, He said "We're done shopping so lets head home."<br />We all agreed. After eating dinner, we sang Karaoke. That's when the funny stuff happened. My uncle was singing a JAPANESE song. I was started. I was ablowing my head off. His accent was funny and his face looked funny. I even sang myself. We sang until we went to sleep.<br />Day III:WE woke early and ate breakfast just the same as yesterday. When we went out, we're going on a hike. First, we went to see a lake nearby. It was a gorgeous sight that we stared at it for a long time. Eventually we left and went to a zoo. The animals were cute and a few looked mean. First up was a reindeer. It was in a shed eating hay. It looked very hungry. Next was the yak. TO me it looked lake a hairy black buffalo. It was a also eating hay. I guess it is lunch time for the zoo animals. When we were going to the wolves den, we met a sleeping snow leopard. It looked like a regular house cat snoozing. We didn't want to be disrespectful so we left to not let it get disturbed so we went to the wolves den. Now my mom was really freaked out. However, I kept on howling and communicating with the wolves. When I turned my back, my mom already been gone. When we passed through the snow leopard's cage, we saw it was awake! I was amazed. It roared a lot of times. Then he climbed to the top of the mountain and started to eat the grass. My uncle took shots of the cute big creature. As we continued walking, we saw amazing sights. Such as cougars, flamingoes and a bat. My favorite part was when we met the jaguars. They were always at the window thinking how to get out of this cage. Or maybe then we look like food to them and trying to get out of the cage. When we passed it, we saw two bald eagles. They were so huge like the size of three fat toads putted together. Then we left the zoo. Now we were trying to find a hiking route. After a long period in the car, we got there. When we started off and got to the middle of the hike, we kept on discussing about where is the lake. We probally went in all the directions. It was a diasaster. When we exited, our legs were very sore. <br />Lastv dayIV:When we woke upwe ate breakfastand had many chats. WE started to get ready to leave. Then we said our prayers, last words and we were off.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1164586609047945542006-11-26T15:51:00.001-08:002006-11-26T16:16:50.293-08:00THe awsome vacation.Day I: When we arrived at my uncle 's house, we took a quick tour of the house.

Some of them were the gorgeous trees that held pretty colorful leaves. The colors were red, yellow, and brown and they were on maple trees. I loved the red leaves because it reminds me of eating a delicious red apple. Also I saw three real eagles. When we arrived at Newpause, I was exicited since my mom said we were going apple picking. Instead we went to a state park in Mohawk.<br />My dad said we should go on a hike. I loved hiking. When we started hiking, it was very hard for me to climb since the trail wasm old and crappy. Consenquently I found a hking stick to help me hike. After a long time, my back started to ack so we took a break. We drank water and ate food. Then we started of again.<br />After a long hike we eventually got to the cliff. We walked on the cliff and saw more colorful leaves. As we continued I was amazed. I saw people climbing and to me they looked like spiders climbing a web. My dad and I went to where the climbers were so we could see how they climb and what climbers need to climb. I finally saw a closer view. Now I know what climbers need to climb. They had several ropes, climbing shoes, helmets and lo ts of other stuff that I couldn't see. When we were back on the trail, I saw glamorus seeings. In a distance, I could see mmountains and horizons and the sun hiding behind the mountains. It just looked so pretty. We took many pictures of it. I wished I brought my binoculars. On the trail, it was basically the same sightings. All of a sudden Not much stuff popped up and no people were in front of us and back of us. I wanted to continue but my parents were scared like cats. I was so curious what was aheead of us. As we headed back. I decided that every millipede I saw I would kill it since I saw most of the beautiful sightings. When I saw the first millipede, I squashed it with my hiking stick. My mom was so scared that she yelled at me. This was crazy, I thought to myself. It was only an bug. I knew why. She is scared of anything that moves on its own except humans. Finally when we were going down, I liked it because I like challenging myself. Then accidentally, I sipped and fell on my butt. Even though it contained fat, it hurted. I couldn't walk well. Think this was funny. Well it is like getting hit by a large chunk of ice. Soon I threw my stick away and exited the park.<br />I thought that this park was fun. They made the steps in a fun way for people to go up. Such as the crappy rock trail that leads to a trail but not the cliff. I wish to come here again but this time with a friend to duscuss about the place.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1157334508254931732006-09-03T18:48:00.000-07:002006-10-05T01:39:56.746-07:00The Adventure of the Warriors. Part 1: Fighting gangsters.The Warriors was a group of people fighting crime. Their names were Link, Alvin,Kevin, Will, Jack, Alex, Robin, Lancelot, John and me Steven.We were in Manhattan at eleven o'clock p.m. Our boss Edwin said " many gangsters were on the lose such as the pistones and Rogers. We're counting on you to stop them. Get them scram now" We headed down 42nd street searching for gangsters. Suddenly a baseball came rolling down. Then came a whistle. there lay eight Pistones surrounding us. They were in baseball uniforms and a scary face mask. " Oh fudge!' said Jack. "Lets beat them till they can't stand up." said Alex. " Then fight." We fought fiercly. Dodge, slip, bang, pow <span >they </span>were finished. They were all moaning on the ground. I called Edwin to tell him that we busted the Pistones. We took all the weapons they dropped. Now we had weapons. We rode on the subway to 77nd street. " where are we going?" asked Robin. "well to my calculations we should meet the tigers around the corner." I responded. "Dodge" shouted Lancelot. "give up" shouted a tiger. I punched them in the intestins. He was hit very badly. " Attack" I said. the mob did. Sooner they were down. "Destroyers '' shouted Jack. "Lets go" I said "Link, Alex, Jack, Will and Kevin follow me. The rest run to the platform." The five of us ran right behind the train. "jump" Will proclaimed. The train stopped. "The Destroyers aren't in the train." Alex said. "Get out of this train. A grenade!!!!!!!" I said surprisingly. "To the exit just move it<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">."</span> <em>Boom!</em> </span><span >The grenade blew up. "Holy snap" said Kevin. The next afternoon, I bought the newspaper.It said that a subway blew up. My gang most work hard to find the destroyers. </span>supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1152042478079521642006-07-04T12:14:00.000-07:002006-09-03T19:03:46.906-07:00Philly Expedition.July 1 2006: Summer is here. My family went to Philadelphia for the second time. We first stopped in Manhattan for breakfast then we hit the road. As we entered Philadephia, I saw a beautiful building with a shiny and clear reflection of the sun. I even felt the air cleaner and better designs of the building than Manhattan. When I go to some places in Manhattan, it smells especially in Chinatown. At night we went to Chinatown in Philly, it didn't smell a bit. We took a quick tour in the Valley Forge national park. We saw old log cabins. They were rusty and filthy. Later we spotted a whole row of cannons. They were going to shoot all directions. A man told us about how to <span style="font-family:arial;">make</span> the cannon fire. I founded it pretty complicated. I also sighted a lot of cute little deer eating grass. Later we settled in the hotel. It used to be a Sheraton. I remembered how the room looked like. We watched the world cup, France against Brazil. I thought Brazil would win. It ended up with Brazil losing. I felt very sorry for the Brazilians. As I was earlier saying went to Chinatown to eat. It had Peking duck. If you like tacos, try Peking duck. It's a Chinese taco. It tastes great. We went back to the hotel and went to sleep.<br />July 2nd 2006: In the morning, we left the hotel and drove to Atlantic city. When we got there, my dad and I went straight to the bathroom to change clothes because we were going to the beach to play around. I went straight into the cold water. Its waves were big. I went deep so the waves would hit me. I felt good. I wanted to go even deeper but the shells hurted my foot. My dad went very deep. He got hit by two waves and he went back to shore. We stayed at Atlantic city over a few hours. After that we left and went back home. I thought this expedition was better than the original.supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1151618347201944282006-06-29T14:33:00.003-07:002006-07-04T13:20:12.916-07:00The Silver ChairI have just finished reading chapter 7 of the book The Silver Chair. This chapter was about three people who found Harfang - a castle and some giants. After Jill slid, Scrubb and Puddlegum turned their heads and they saw lights from Harfang. They opned the door and saw<br />giants inside the castle. The giants were gentle to them. But the fire in the castle were making Jill, Scrubb and Puddleglum sweat.

It was a warm day and had some breezes.My dad and I are going camping. First we stopped at the highschool where the other campers are. Few minustes later, I talked to the principal.I thanked the principal for letting me go on the trip. Then we left the school. The bus was quick. It was sort of comfortable. When we arrived, we got to our villages where our cabins are. I got sort of tired. When we got to our cabins, we unpacked our things and left to go to the dinning hall to eat lunch. The lunch was delicious and I got very full. When everyone finished we explored and get used to our surroundings. I saw a basketball court, a volleyball court and a hockey court. Some already were playing so I joined in playing volleyball. Later we had something called a class. We were organized into groups. I was in group D. Some others were also on group D. The first class was the beaver trail. We were going to beaver pond. But first we examined the destroyed dam that was about a year and a half ago. Then we found a chopped down tree that a beaver cut down to build it;s dam or home called a lodge. Later we hiked for a long time and I was dying to thirst. But when I got there it was a big defference. The water level was a lot lower then the first pond we saw. But every natural enviroment. The lodge was better than the last one the group saw. The water level was a lot lower and the place is a lot dryer and more dirtier. But if the beavers think it is good then they should live out. we returned back to the courts. As usual I was playing volleyball again. Few minutes later we had our next class. My group's next class was archery. I think I was a professional indian chief when I arched. I saw my groupmates arched too. Some had beginner's luck. I arched not to good. Still i thought I was a chief. This was awesome exsecise for accuracy. It was short and that was for us our last class. Other groups had different classes. When we arrived, everyone also arrived, we played until dinnertime. Until then we all finished eating, we slept till tomorrow.<br />Day 2: Today I woke up and did my homerwork. But few minutes later we the cabin four people went to the park. I played basketball. I missed a lot. I felt like I didn't know how to play. Then we had a break until our classes begin. It was nine o'clock and our group started at the pamper pole where you climb up a pole and jump. I saw people did it . Then I wanted to do it and I got to go on. Then I was scared a bit but when I jumped I felt like a frog was junping in my stomach. When it activity was over, we played for a while. I played volleyball. It was time for next class. The next class was tracking. The guide taught us about how animals walk. Like a lion, a rabbit and more. Then we found a foot print , we measured and it was a 7inches. So we knew it was a grown ups foot. Then we found pecks that told us that a wood pecker was here. Later we found holes in the ground so that we know that a chipmunk was here or in it. Then we left the hike. I thought it was very educational. We still have one more class. The last class we have is the vertical playpen. My dad went first. It looked fun. So I was last. I went up, everyone was looking at me I don't know why. I was scared. My heart was pumping and my legs were aching. Then i found it was easy later. so I was more comfedent. Then when I finished I felt much better. SO know I learned that don't judge a game how it looks. We left and playyed until dinnertime. Dinner was quick. After this, there a reptile show.

It was an exciting and fun expedition. It was chilly, especially when my mom and I were up the hill. When I first got there, we paid and later we went on the ride. The place would give you air puffed sleds. Then my mom and I were being pulled up to a hill by a machine. After the end of the pulling up part, we slid down the hill. My mom smashed into me and I thought it was fun. Then we pulled the sleds up to the hill again. We waited for a little while.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Then I slid down the hill with an enormous speed. I felt like a man riding in a rocket that was going to send me to outer space.</span> <span style="font-size:130%;">Then l saw my mom fell. It looked that she was having fun. We did it again. This time I felt like going a little slower because a lot of wind hit me so the wind pushed me back. Then I saw my mom coming down. It seemed that she was going a little slower too. Then I tried a new way to slide. I called it "the body slam". First I just put my tummy on the hole of the sled and put my head first. I slid down and boom. It was very fast. Then I challenged my mother to a race. I was sliding the new way and my mom copied me! When I started I was looking forward and head first. But then I stopped. Later my mom almost crashed into the wall. So I let her win. Then my dad went up. He slid down very slow. I don't know why. It was like riding on a turtle. All the times he went very slow. My mom looked she was half frozen. She slid down. She yelled. I thought she was crazy. Then my last slide. I slid down very fast. All things went right. I ran then I slammed on my tummy on my sled. I was very happy that I didn't make a mistake. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">Then I said goodbye. I left being happy and sad. Happy because I had a lot of fun and sad because I cannot stay here and slide every day. I wish we could stay at the hotel and resort there. I hope we can come back another day in winter.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span>supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1134916692144921382005-12-18T06:31:00.001-08:002005-12-18T08:00:07.406-08:00The Music ExaminationOn the day for my piano examination (Level 4), I was very nervous. My legs was pumping, my heart was beating and the worst of all was that my hands were cold. I can't play well when my hands are cold. In the room, a lady told us that we could practice a while. I practiced and made few mistakes. After about fifteen minutes, the lady told me to go to the examination room. "Uh Oh" I thought.<br />I was walking down the hall slowly to the door. When I opened it, there stood a man with glasses and a tie. Then next to him was a big piano. I walked over to the bench and sat down. He told me to play my first piece. I played well. It was "Gavot by Aclock." Next I played my second piece called "Ballade by Burgmuller" and the last piece. I made a few mistakes. But as I played it I fixed my mistakes. This was what my mom told me to do yesterday. Then I played a piece he gave me that I didn't practice. I played it. It was tough. At the end it was the hardest part of all. It was oral part. I here a song and the man played it two times and asked me questions. The questions were hard. After all the questions were answered, I got out.<br />With luck, I passed this examination!supermariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855701329298819122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14942146.post-1131901696792633172005-11-13T08:38:00.000-08:002005-11-14T17:29:18.986-08:00A Pro at Basketball.My favorite sport is basketball. I dream of becoming an NBA player. (NBA stands for National Basketball Association) I want to be one because if I play well, I can become rich. I would like to be rich.<br />When I am on a team and versing another team, I always make the first shot. People tease me that I am short and I will miss. Well guess what? The bullies are wrong. I make a shot further than any tall player can. I always practice shooting hoops. When I play, I'm also good at stealing and blocking. My opponents pass the ball yo each other, I always block it. No one can be a better blocker than me. The thing I hate is whenever I play with a team of five, four, three, two and one, I always have to do all the stealing, dribbling and sometimes shooting. It may sound easy but it is not. My teammates are useless. They just say "Hey Steve over here. Pass the ball". It is sometimes very hard for me to pass the ball. My opponents always block me and I don't have a choice. So without thinking, I just shoot. Most of the times, I get the shot in.<br />My friend William got persuaded of the basketball because of the NBA player "Allen Iverson". Then I got persuaded by him. So I started, I was pretty weak. I started to practice day and night.
