A Christmas Gift I Really Wanted

I really haven't had too many gifts that I remember absolutely wanting for Christmas. But the only one that I can think of is wanting new television for my room. My old one wouldn't even turn on it was so broke. And now that same T.V. that I got for christmas' speakers are acting weird.

My Thanksgiving Traditions

I like my Thanksgiving traditions because I get to see all of my family again. My tradition consists of going over to my Dad’s parents house and eating lunch on Thanksgiving Day and visiting with my 2 sets of aunts and uncles, my grandparents, and my 2 cousins. Then for supper we have our family Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, Dad, and two little brothers. On Saturday Night we go over to my Mom’s parents house and have Thanksgiving dinner with my Grandmother, 6 aunts and uncles, 32 first cousins, 10 cousin-in-laws, and about a dozen little 2^nd cousins.

Earth at Night

All I can say is wow that was truly beautiful. We definitely have a fear of the dark because we keep everything so lit up. But it still looks so cool at night. The daytime pictures were also really cool too. I never realized how beautiful Earth looked like at night. It also shows how water covered we are, it is truly amazing and the water is so blue. I wonder what it is like at night in the Desert of the Sahara. I bet it is truly mesmerizing to see the moon and the stars when it is just pitch black all around you.

To Those Who Served and Those Who Serve

Thank you to all the Veterans who served and who are currently serving. You all are the reason why we keep the freedom and liberty that we have today. Our Veterans have made so many sacrifices so that we may sleep in our beds knowing that the same America we went to bed in is the same one we wake up to. And sadly as a student very few people that I know actually appreciate the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have made for us. I hope that when they get older they actually do realize that.

What Am I Thankful for?

I am thankful for God and everything he that has given me.
I am thankful for my Catholic Faith
I am thankful for my parents and my two little brothers.
I am thankful for all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I am thankful for all of my friends and acquaintences, especially my best friend Darin.
I am thankful for all of the clubs and organizations that I am involved in because I have met so many amazing people through these activities.
I am thankful for the freedom and liberty that we as Americans have because our Veterans and Military have sacrificed so much for us to have it.
And last but not least I am thankful for all of the amazing teachers I have had over the course of my Educational Career because they have also sacrificed so much to provide their students with a quality education.

Happiness is Key

Being happy helps you have an optimistic outlook on things. During any situation happiness can carry you out of it, and in bad situations it can also keep you out of trouble. Happiness can also improve your life, people who are happy about themselves or just generally happy have a better quality of life. And when you get older and you retire there are alot of depressing things that could happen when you get older, but if you have an optimistic outlook on things you could live longer and be a good role model.

Comments about the Election

I think that the election turned out realy well because the Republicans kicked out many of the big-government Democrats. I am a conservative, I love this country very much and I cherish the values and principles that the founders of this great nation had. This country is not what it should look like at all, many of the policies over the past 100 years have been very unconstitutional and yet people do not care about his one bit, until last year when the Tea Party Movement developed, they cherish the original values and the Constitution as much if not more than I do. And this whole movement has woken most of the American people up, and they have realized that our government is way too big and that Congress is quickly becoming irrelevant after all they only have an 11% approval rating. President Obama is also in the process of "Changing America" which we never fully realized at the 2008 Election what his definition of "Change" meant, which is pretty much completely transforming America into a Socialist State and Health Care Reform was the first stepping stone to that goal and then the Financial Reform was the second step. And not only that, but many of his closest Advisors want in essence to de-develop this country to Third world status so that we can share the wealth with the rest of the world. And the Obama Administration also thinks that we can spend our way out of this crisis, in the History of mankind that has never worked, Woodrow Wilson did it and we ended up plunging into the "Forgotten Depression of 1920" but what was differant was after he left office the next president cut taxes and the budget by 50% and the Roaring 20's resulted from that. This is not the country that I want for my children and grand-children, I have researched much of the stuff going on lately and in conjunction with watching "Glenn Beck" I have come to realize that we as a country and economy are matching up with the German Weimar Republic which failed horrifically and led to Adolf Hitler. And the worst is yet to come, I think that we are on our way to inflation and China refusing to buy any more bonds from the US Treasury which within 20 days would spell the end of the American economy. This election is more than just switching the House from D to R it is a turning point for our country and if the new Republicans stick to the what the American people and God than this country is on the road to recovery, but if the Republicans are co-opted by the big government progressives than our country is on its way to collapse.
