Lightened from the Inside

down the dark dreary path
that we can not escape from
where we went we did not know
but we knew just to go

across the bridge we went
through the brush and to the left
where we went we did not know
but we crawled very slow

so at last we ran upon
only saw colored dawn
light shined down to the track
a fallen train on its back

hollowed out its shell was cold
like the autumns stony chill
but the inside was contrare
bright and warm with its bare

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkanban

This book is an amazing book because it combines the essence of humor, and underlying evil through out it all. In this book Harry is only just starting when he is expelled for Hogwarts for under age magic laws. He is for to leave home and go on the run but when he gets to a safe haven he is told that instead of being expelled he is congratulated for not being scared on his own. I found this to be a little funny but it explains later that he was being hunted by his parents killer. This is the main plot for most of the book until he gets the Marauder’s Map and finds out about Wormtail. About he is were my favorite quote comes from, but you should know that harry least favorite teacher was trying to open the marauder’s map. “Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Prof. Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other peoples business. Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Prof. Snape is an ugly Git. Mr. Padfoot would like to register that he is surprised that Snape could become a Prof. ” That is my favorite part because Snape is being slammed on by another teacher. The story takes a turn and you find out Wormtail really killed his parents and Sirius was his good Godfather. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy or adventure. It is one of the best books i have ever read.

The one thing that i learn or understood about the book was that friends are everything. Ron got in a huge argument with Hermione and through half the book didn’t talk which impeded on life. I try to be all about friends but even i make mistakes.

Time in Eternity

It was a cold Saturday morning. I didn’t like being on a raft floating down the scary rapids. I was going on the trip with my youth group. We split into three boats, and with my luck, I was placed with the only guy that had never been down the McKenzie. We rounded the bend, and way down the river I saw the first boat just drop out of existence. About five minutes later, we saw it float away. The driver didn’t really know what to do. He went into the rapids straight on when he really should have come in facing right to row out. The raft slammed head first into a tree and my head ran straight into the cooler as it flipped up out of the raft. The raft sailed into the air at a vertical angle. Time felt like it had stopped. In slow motion, I saw my youth pastor, Luke, get flung from the boat and a friend dive off the end. I however, like the driver, was forced under the raft for a few terrifying moments. My air felt like it was ripped out of my lungs, and my body went numb from the cold. Then after what felt like an eternity, my head broke the surface of the water. I was still gulping for air, and barely doing that, when a sharp tug came from under the boat. Doug’s hand was clamped around my ankle, so I pulled with all my strength I had left, and surprisingly he came up from the watery depths. Even more to my surprise, he was laughing; I was not. What happened next was not in the least bit funny. Even after it all, I had the same view as I did before we left, that this trip was going to be horrible.

Recession

The recession hasn’t really affected me but my father is a substitute teacher.  When the school district went into debt of over 11 million dollars they had to cut some where.  Since my dad is only a sub, he is not protected by the contracted salery of being a full time teacher.  The days that the school dist. cut only shorten the amount of days he can work.  The recession also made it very difficult for my parents to get a house, the companies that are selling took as long as they could to say we were aproved and even to say we could move in.  I think that people should just take the normal precations about saving.  They should cut back in spending money for no reason like movies and eating out. I think that Oboma’s plan for the economy was great except I didnt really know how the school and infrastucure changes would help.  The idea of doubling the amount of alternitive fuel is quite amasing.  Also taking all the medical paper and computerising it is quite amasing too.

Technology

The technology that I caring on a regular basis is my stupid sister’s cell phone that I only got because she went to Africa with her studying abroad program, and I also have an Ipod on me at all time which I use profusely.  My friends and me often play games online.  The games tend to be RPGs or first person shooters.  I play lots of Halo and Mafia Wars.  New technology is fun to mess around with like the Wii that came out last year my dad got one for his birthday and it is awesome.  The motion sensors are so realistic that it feels like you are really bowling or playing baseball.  There was nothing like it when I was a kid, all I can remember playing with was the Super Nintendo  or my parents old computer that barely could type.  The technology that I own is as I said earlier my Ipod, cell phone, a desktop computer, and a laptop.  I can also say I own a tv, ps2, and a Wii but they are my dads I get to use them but the are still his.  I think when I am learning new technology I have no problem learning how to use it or discovering the fast tracts and cool thing that you wouldn’t have thought that you could do.
