"I choose not to read"



Okay maybe I gave reading a shot... Actually I gave it a huge shot. There was a read a thon at the school and I didn't want to look stupid. So I bought a book by Nicholas Sparks, because I know that he writes good books, that have made movies.. So why not give it a shot?.. So I opened the new book, and it didnt have that feeling of "Where the Red Fern Grows".. It was actually good. Let me explain my history that makes me hate to read...

In the 7th grade at the end of the year, we took state tests( the ones with the purple no.2 pencil?), that you always rush through.. well at least I did, until this very moment. You open up the state test and it was on reading, and I never looked forward to the reading section. It was a story about pigs, farms, boring things. Apparently, I sped through the reading section and failed..
HERES the clincher... Because I did not pass that test, I had to take a Reading class during 8th grade while others could do an elective.. like cooking, spanish,etc. If someone would have said that, I would have passed that test. So there you go, thats why I chose not to read.

I was forced to read books that I didn't like and do more homework.. homework, and worksheets on reading, with a teacher named Ms. Nielson. I saw her the next year everyday in the halls, and she always said hi to me , she would call me, "Linda".. I didn't have the heart to tell her, that wasn't my name. It was just awkward.

I finally choose to read, and finished 2 books in two days. I love reading, and I also recommend them. I am reading another book right as we speak.

"Going Green"...yellow and black


Why would I want to go green? Ok I believe in Recycling, but I am not going to get the most expensive car, just so some Liberals will be happy.
Have you ever noticed that suburu's have obama stickers? Do they come with the peace sign and bumper sticker when you buy it? I have noticed less obama stickers as I drive, maybe its not the new "trend".
I have seen 3 commercials on GREEN JOBS, as I watch Lord of the Rings on TNT. I just want to watch Lord of the Rings in peace without being politically influenced in what I should be doing. Is it because its earth day coming up. Who knows... People say Green is the new Black. I disagree. Alot of people do not look good in green. My mom always says people look good in teal. It really just depends on your skin tones..
Now people are worried about fuels and all that, what about the bees? anyone concerned about that? It happened in Bee movie. Its a real thing. They are not finding their way back to their homes. They say it could be the waves from cell phones, that is one theory. But when everyone has their green cars, and theres no food because of pollination problems, they should have listened to me. So forget about going green. Its yellow and black...
