Holliday Spirits (20)

You know what? I had my whole Thanksgiving break planned out. I was going to have a blast playing soccer, hanging out with friends, and getting high of the holiday spirits. Then my parents told me, "Son, you’re getting your wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday." It hit me like a boxer receiving an unexpected blow by his opponent. "What, my wisdom teeth?" I exclaimed, "That will ruin it all!"

Previous horror stories from my friends had given me a clear vision that getting my teeth extracted would not be a pleasant experience. Just imagine four teeth being yanked out of your head, resulting with cheeks the size of basket balls-witch everyone would laugh at and say with a bantering voice," look at the cute little boy with the cheeks. Isn’t he just adorable?" Ok it wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t that great either. Getting up every six hours to get high of your meds, and drinking smoothies all week isn’t that fun. It sucked! Not being able to eat the delicious Thanksgiving dinner, but the thing that really sunk my ship was that I could not eat my favorite pie.

Now that it’s all over with I realize that getting your wisdom teeth taken out does not make you dumber than you already were. That’s pretty much all I have to say about my break. Oh, here is some advise: when getting your wisdom teeth pulled, schedule it for a time when nothings planned and you were already planning to be board.

The Box (19)

The TV has scattered peoples interests. Nothing is withheld from people nowadays. When something happens anywhere in the world it doesn't take more then 24 hr. until the whole world knows about it. Now that everyone is being fed evrything on a silver plate people have lost interest in everything. Things that before were exiting, are now boring. People are never satisfied eanymore, they are always looking for more. People do not valuing things the way they used to. The stinking TV just cant stop can it?

Super Sanguine (18)

Just a couple of weeks ago the senior class all took our personality tests. Of course i scored high on sanguine.

I hate being alone. I'm the kind of person that just cant be alone for more than five minutes. I have to be doing something exiting or be with my friends. The only time i can be alone is when I'm spending time with God, but you cant really count that because Gods with me.

It is when I'm with my friends is when I get very uncomfortable with myself. When I'm spending time with God thats where He takes that self consciousness and turns it into confidence, so that when i next go out into the world and hang out with my friends i have nothing to fear for my God is near.

To young for college? (17)

I read this article called, "Heading Back to College," which talked about the great increase of 'Baby boomer's' going back to college. Here are the answers to some questions asked me about it.

Really i personally don't care if older adults go back to school. If they want to, let them go. I mean, they are people and if they want to re-educate themselves, that's fine.

I don't think their would be any major draw backs if an older adult went back to college. Except for that they would not really have any friends of their age and it might hold them back from being with their family's.

From my observation the youth in the colleges today, you could say need to be straightened up in their ways of behavior. I think that older adults can have a huge impact on the youth because they guide them in the right direction, because of their experience.

Well to do what Mike Flynt is risky at his age. Fulfilling a dream is what drives and keeps us going when difficult times come. That was what drove Mike to play College football at age 59. It inspires me, that's for sure.
