Word That Describes Me #Creative


The word that really describes me would have to be "Apathetic." It’s in my character that I don't show much emotion. Being apathetic means you don’t really care about much, or you lack concern or emotion.  Having no emotion helps you keep from getting hurt, you pretty much mind your own business and keep you head down in the crowd. You don’t want to stand out; you would rather not even be seen at all. You see most things as a waste of time. If you apathetic you’re not really happy; but you’re not necessarily mad or sad, your just here. You don’t really want to be here, but you wouldn’t rather be anywhere else either. Even though I am apathetic I still have morals. I can’t steal or lie on almost any occasion because that’s in my character too so I guess I do care about some things. But other than that I just keep to myself. Getting attached to anything just leads to hurt and pain.  Eventually all good things come to an end. So why risk having that good thing taken away? Because in the end it’s just going to end up hurting you. Keep to yourself, it’s better that way.

A Medium Suitcase - Busy Work.

1. A Family Picure - Family means a lot to me. Their there when you need them the most.

2. My Mazzio's Cap - I've had a lot of good memories at Mazzio's. Work feels like one of the most important places I need to be, and I want to remember that feeling.

3. My cell phone - Theres a lot of pictures and memeries on it I'd like to keep. Also being able to keep in contact with loved ones.

4. My Wallet - Don't get me wrong.. by no means is it the money in it. I just feel like I'm missing something if its not in my back right pocket. sitting, walking,.. everything just feels like somethings out of place if i dont have it.

5. My Keyring - if I ever get to go home (from where ever im going) I'd like to have a key to my house, and the key to my car.

6. Leather Jacket - I've had this jacket for about 6 years. Everytime I see it or put it on it makes me think of who i used to be.

7. Computer Mouse - Even though I dont play video games anymore, Ive played more then my fair share and the computer mouse would remind me of all the friends i made from my old clan :{CF}: in my 5 years of Gaming.

8. My Belt - Well obviously you dont want your pants to fall down! But if I wear any other belt now it feels wierd.. kind of like the wallet thing.. everything just feels out of place.

9. My 350'z Shift knob - I've only had this car for 2 months, but its the best thing I have ever bought. I Drive it everyday, unless theres snow on the ground, its absolutly terrible in snow.

10. My Class Ring - Even though School was hell most of the time, I want to remember some of it. Like the good times I had and all the friends I made along the way.

Looking Up.

A person that I really admire would have to be Martin Luther King Jr., he stood for civil rights for every single person. When no one else would speak up he rose above the crowd and spoke for them. That makes him an incredible leader and I wish I had more characteristics like that. I’m a fairly quiet person, and to have those leadership skills would make me a much better employee and over as a person for many situations that would arise. It’s hard to “Manage” when you’re a soft spoken person. Martin Luther King Jr. had a voice that carried. I’m sure his confidence and how firmly he stood for civil rights helped his voice be heard. But as firm as he did stand for whites and blacks to be equal he did it in the most non-violent way, through the way he ran his campaign. And doing so was the best way to resolve the conflict in my opinion. Raising violence would have just made them look like the bad guys, and they would have probably ended up losing rights rather then gaining them. Martin Luther King Jr. was absolutely a great model that we should be more like, rising above the crowd to stand for what you believe in.


I look up to Eminem. He is a prime example of someone who had a terrible life and through music he turned his whole life around. I consider him to be someone I look up to because when ever I am feeling down or pissed off about something I just put my Pandora on my Eminem playlist and just listen to his lyrics, and after a while, it actually makes me feel better. By listening to him it just shows me that I am not the only one who deals with struggles throughout my life. It makes it easier to relate to him. I know he is not the best role model because of some of the things he’s done in his life, but his music pulls you in and really makes you think about life in another perspective.


The third person I look up to would have to be Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell is a mastermind in comedy, and knows how to use humor in almost any situation to raise people’s spirits. Not only is he funny, but he also knows how to be serious in certain situations where seriousness is essential. Will Ferrell supports many charities that really make a difference such as UNICEF, Artists for Peace and Justice, Afghanistan Relief Organization, Charilze theron Africa Outreach Project, Room To Read, Cancer for College, US Campaign for Vurma, Music for Relief and Steven Jay Wampler Foundation. I have always thought he was an icon in my life ever since I watched the movie Talladega nights. I love seeing him on Saturday Night Live. He’s been a regular since the 90’s and he’s always making jokes and making everyone laugh.

Event


The real story behind my picture is me and Sura drove around Monett for like 25 minutes trying to find something to take a picture of. After that we see Mazzio's left the outside lights on and it seems like a good idea to take a picture of my car in front of the restaurant. After taking the picture it looks good so i use it for the assignment.

Groundhog Day


If I could go back in time and relive a day I would relive the day I wrecked my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS in September.  That night I was stressed out and thought I would go ahead and top my car to see what the top speed was, but I made the bad decision of trying to top it on a back road. After hitting about 130 MPH I’m gliding on the road and then a bump comes out of nowhere and spins me sideways, after counteracting with I losing control facing the other direction and then the passenger side of my car is in the ditch. It’s late and the grass is wet, so when I cut the wheel to the left nothing happened, and I was forced to hit a covert that through me sideways across the road and put me on my side in the ditch on the opposite side of the road (Driver side up in the air). Hanging there, heart racing, I call 911. “911 what is your emergency” I tell them I was in a wreck on 1040, right outside of Pierce City. “So that’s Lawrence County? One moment let me transfer your call.” 30 seconds later I retell the situation to the next operator, and they say they will send a unit out….. 40 minutes later the state trooper shows up and takes all the information for the accident report. My wreck was about 100 feet in distance, and for some reason the cop never asked me how fast I was going. I would have gotten one big ticket if he knew the real speed and could prove it, but he seemed like a really nice guy. After the tow truck got there he ended up giving me a ride home. I would relive this night, and right before I turned on the back road 1040 I would not of made the stupid decision to drop into second gear and top my car out that night. If I did not make that decision that night I would have that Toyota Celica paid off and the 350z I have now, and would have sold my Alero. My insurance rates would be significantly lower and full coverage would be less than half the price I would pay now. Although I wrecked my car, even after paying my deductible, I made a profit on that car. The settlement was actually $700 dollars but -$500 for the deductible. So I made $200, but if there was any way possible to save my totaled car I would of payed $800+ for them to fix my car but it was about 6-7k in damage. It was a very easy standard to drive and excellent to learn in. It was just a very fun car to drive. And now I would be driving the Toyota Celica for work and delivering pizzas and the Nissan 350z in my free time just to keep the miles low on it and keep the value high, and then I wouldn’t have to be driving that sketchy Alero to work.

~ Story Time ~


The Tortoise and the Hare

                Once upon a time there lived a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing the tortoise for its slowness.  Every single day when all the little animals of Farmville awoke, the first thing the hare would do was sprint down to tortoise’s house and make fun of how slow he is of waking up.  At every single party that was held at Mayor Owl’s house, the hare was always the first to show up and the tortoise was the last to show up.  On one particular morning, the hare dreamt about three little pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.  Every time the pigs built their houses, the Big Bad Wolf did not blow it down like legend had said.  Instead, his fists were so powerful that he punched and shattered their homes instantly.  Having no idea why the dream was set forth for him, he didn’t question about the odd dream.  Little did he know, the Big Bad Wolf had already destroyed the three little pigs’ home and was heading towards their town of Farmville.  Fortunately, the tortoise also had the same dream and began making preparations for the attack.  He warned the animals of the village to build their houses out of diamonds from the mining cave behind the River of Tears.  By shaping their homes out of diamonds, the Big Bad Wolf would not be able to destroy their homes with a single punch.  Matter of fact, he wouldn’t even be able to destroy them at all.  A single punch at diamond would fracture his hands instantly.  Anyways, so for the time that they had before the Big Bad Wolf came by, the entire village of Farmville mined for weeks but the only one that did not prepare for the attack was the hare.  He though that the tortoise was a joke and pretended not to notice.  Eventually the day came and the Big Bad Wolf came into town looking for trouble. 

                To make an impression of himself, he started off by throwing a few punches at city hall.  Unaware of the hidden layers of diamonds, he threw one punch, then two, and three but the building stood there without a scratch.  His hands were so swollen that the pain surged in waves throughout his body.  He ran out towards the southern part of Farmville where the hare lived and hid within a broken down shed and sat there in tears.  He wanted revenge and when he took a peek outside, there on a hill, the only hill in Farmville, there was a little hole in which only a hare could live in.  He slowly plotted his entire revenge on the hare.  Once his fists were fully healed, not a single hill would exist in Farmville.   Luckily, tortoise lived in the lake near the shed and overheard what the Big Bad Wolf had said.  Without hesitating, he crawled to the hare’s house and notified him about the plot.  Ignorant and conceited, he shut the door on the tortoise and resented the message.  Instead, he threw up his little feet in the air and fell asleep.  A few hours later, the sun drops and the stars begin to appear.  From out of the darkness, the Big Bad Wolf’s grin could be seen as he tip-toes his way closer and closer to the hare’s home.  He takes a peek into the tiny little holes of the house and finds the hare all asleep on the comfy grounds for long.  Little did he know that his home was going to be invaded and beaten to dust and dirt.  He digs a small enough hole from him to crawl through and begins to throw his fists all around.  Clink, Clank, Crack, Clink, Clank, Crack. 

                His hands were broken and immobilized by the hardness of the dirt.  His howls were heard by King Neptune and SpongeBob Squarepants from Bikini Bottom.  It awoke the entire villagers who came rushing to the crime scene.  The paws of the Big Bad Wolf were snapped and hanging as it sat there crying.  When Mayor Owl woke up the hare, he was surprised that the Big Bad Wolf had visited his home and was terrorized by his presence.  When the hare looked around his house, nothing was broken and not a single scratch was put on his furniture.  Confused and petrified, he asked Mayor Owl what had happened.  The tortoise finally had gotten to the hare’s house and took over the explanation.  After the hare refused to accept the tortoise’s warning, he went to the villagers to help out the hare.  At first the villagers refused to do such a deed because of the way the hare treated everybody but when the tortoise pleaded for their help, they began working on making the hare’s home and furniture out of diamonds.  Of course it took all night but that was all they needed to complete the job.  The hare was embarrassed, shocked and stunned.  His misdeeds lead him to feeling guilty about the tortoise and the entire villagers of Farmville.  Speed did not make him any better than the others and it took the slow tortoise to help him understand his immoral ideas.  His body might have been quicker than the others but his mind was slow and conceited.  The hare apologized to everyone and gave the Big Bad Wolf a kick on the paws.  It made him cry and everyone had to cover their ears to prevent damages to their ears.  As punishment for the Big Bad Wolf from the entire villagers, they exiled the Big Bad Wolf from Farmville and locked him up in a pineapple and tossed him under the sea.  After a few hours under the sea, he drowned and a sponge known as SpongeBob moved into the pineapple and together he lived happily with a snail named Gary.  On the other hand, the hare learned his lesson and never picked on anyone from the village ever again.
