I LOVE THE FALCONS!

I've learned my lesson, y'all. After watching the Atlanta Falcons dominate my Carolina Panthers on Sunday, I am finally ready to admit they are the better team. When I looked up at the scoreboard and saw that 20-13 staring at me, I had no choice it was time to face the truth.

Man, I wish Alge Crumpler played for the Panthers!

Maybe if they didn't wear girly powder blue, the Panthers may even intimidate the other team a little instead of letting the officials decide the game like the one in Atlanta earlier this season.

I think the real lesson here is that I should listen to Mr. Siegmund when it comes to football matters since he told me all along the Panthers were pretenders. I am going to go ahead and say it -- you heard it here, folks -- The Falcons are going to take out the Buccaneers this week on their way to a NFC South Championship. GO DIRTY BIRDS!!!

Maybe Mr. Siegmund will let me keep this hat since I'm tired of looking like a member of The Backstreet Boys wearing that baby blue one. . .

How i feel about rich people

Rich people are people who have an abundance of what whatever it is that they desire. Rich people have lots of money and can buy whatever they choose to buy nomatter what the cost is; theirs no limit to whaty they can buy. rich people drive the finest cars, live in the biggest houses, and has more money than the average person. Sometimes in my life i sort of envy rich people because they're not one of my family members whom i can go to and ask for anything i want and they be able to buy it no matter what the price is but them i just as happy with the average loving family that i have. Rich people have gotten their money by working for it and some has even become rich by playing reality games on t.v, or just singing, rapping, and entertaining. i sometimes think that rich people should spread their wealth amongst others, those who dont have and are less fortunate.

A Fight to Remember

When I was living in Charlotte North Carloinai had a best friend by the name of Noel. Noel went to my Elementary school while I was in the fourth and fifth grade we were the best of friends. After making the transition from elementary to middle school we were still friends but he began to change and different; as if we weren't cool anymore. Noel had gym class with me we play alot but he to take things out of proportion; like if we were playing basketball and he might give me a bad pass but if i give him a bad pass he'll get real mad like he was going to fight you. One day i finally got tired of his attitude. When we were playing basketball I made a shot and missed he got real made because i didnt pass him the ball, we started arguing while arguing i swung and hit him in his face the next thing i know we were on the ground fighting throwing punches and kicking each other. I released all my anger out while fighting i think thats the reason why I won. After being disaplined by the Principal we began to talk about our attitude geting the best of us

Assignment 1: Growing up

Growing up can be both exciting and painful; llife is not always fair there are many obstacles and troubles in life everyday. Nobodys life goes on without some kind of tragedy happening at some point of time, wheather its a break up of friendship with a best buddy, or a sad story they've read in the a magazine or newspaper, and if life cant get any painful someone you know or very close to you dies. Life can also be very exciting especially when something good happens to you. the most exciting time of year is Christmas time when everyone gets what they want that could be an exciting time in our life, but a painful time comes when you know that many people around the world couldn't afford to get anything for that time of year and it hurts you to know that.

Assignment 7: give me liberty or give me death

1. I learned from the document i read that patrick henry was the son of John and sarah henry two people who played a role in the revolutionary era. Henry was a symbol of Americas struggle for liberty and self-government. Patrick was a lawyer who was very good in politics and was a strong believer in the rights of citizens to bear arms; to have guns. Henry fought for this cause, he wanted rights for the people and their freedom. Henrys powerful words and most memoriable words were "Give me liberty or give me death"

2. The thing that surprised me the most about what i read was that because of Patrick henrys actions had something to do with the british march on on concord and it is to be said that; that was the beginning of the American Revolution.
