Computer Attacks!
I’ve been getting some really annoying pop-ups lately. I think I know why but I have no idea how to stop them. I’ve run several virus scans. I’ve deleted all unnecessary files on my computer. I’ve searched the add or remove programs function from the control panel and couldn’t find anything suspicious. Yet I keep […]

Say No to Gift Cards
Gift cards seem to be all the rage these days. Retailers seem to have convinced us that they are the way to go. They make a lot of sense. If you don’t know what to buy for someone, get them a gift card. It’s quick and easy and it shows that you put some thought […]

Life Gives Us What We Need
I have not been feeling one hundred percent this week. I’ve had a scratchy throat and that is usually the first sign that I am coming down with something. I have been quite tired too. I’ve been going to bed early and drinking lots of orange juice to stave off a cold. I thought about […]

Bush Babees
I used to tape music videos when I was younger. I made several Beta tape collections of great rap videos. Those tapes are long gone. But thanks to YouTube we can still watch some old classic rap videos. Today, I wanted to look back at one of favourite groups of the 90s. They only put […]

Feel Good Interpretation
I am trying to write a blog entry while Jeopardy is on the television behind me. I am only half paying attention to the Teen Tournament because my time is awfully short these days. I would like to be watching the show and giving it my undivided attention but I can’t. I don’t have any […]

I wish I had the time to work on a novel right now. I would love to be part of the National Novel Writing Month. I have been working on something probably just as huge as a novel though. I’ve been putting a lot of work into these things too. They will be published and […]

Creative Insight
At my previous we used to have a sceince room. There were a lot of materials there for the teachers to use in their science program. It was great. Unfortunately my new school just doesn’t seem to have the same resources available. Each teacher has his or her own materials but we don’t have a […]

Fundraising in Schools
There are quite a few fundraising efforts happening at my school. Several teachers had started initiatives to raise money for field trips. As it stands there are about five classes involved in their own seperate fundraisers. I don’t know why but this really rubs me the wrong way. I just don’t feel like school is […]

Running Through the Cemetery
The other day, I decided to run through a cemetery. I’ve run past it several times but I have never stepped foot in it. It’s not that cemeteries creep me out either. I just didn’t think it would be right. But for some reason, last week I decided that it would be okay if I […]

Observe Today – Don’t Just Pass It By
It doesn’t feel right not going into school this morning. I can’t understand why we all have the day off. And everyone I’ve talked to can’t seem to understand why I’d argue against having a day off. I have my reasons though and I don’t think I am the only one. At least, I hope […]
