What I'm Doing This Weekend

This weekend, I'm going to Texas. I don't think anyone will care though because they will all be jealous! :D We are going canoeing and we are going to the San Antonio Six Flags park. I can't wait! I just hope I don't fail miserably when I'm canoeing because when it comes to boats, I am just the most epic fail I know. Texas is so much fun and I can't wait to go because I'm going tomorrow! The only bad thing is that our flight is landing in Dallas so it is a 4-5 hour drive to get where we're going.
B-O-R-I-N-G-! I hope I don't fall in a hole.

Candy.

Candy is O.K. They best kind to me are Snickers and Botan Rice Candy(that's Japanese, and it's better than it sounds). But I HATE CHOCOLATE. I think it is one of the worst things unless it is mixed with something 100X better. That's why Snickers are AMAZING. Chocolate ice cream is the worst. A lot of people I know would prefer vanilla over chocolate. I'm with them. The only kind of chocolate I like is white chocolate, and that's not even real chocolate. It's just made the same way. One of the really gross things about chocolate is that when you find Chocolate Jimmy's (sprinkles) on the floor, and you have a hamster, it looks so much like hamster 'droppings', that it would be too hard too tell apart. That's just really weird. Imagine if you got tricked into eating what came out of a hamster's behind. Ugh. Disgusting. That's why we don't buy those. We have a hamster. I bet he wouldn't even be able to tell them apart, and he's the one that makes one of them! I hope you are now more cautious about chocolate. If you are ever in a situation where there are two chocolates, pick the one that smells better.

Beaches

Beaches are horrible. Your feet just feel weird when you walk through the sand. It gets stuck in between your toes and it feels like you're forced to walk around in shoes that are too tight until you wash your feet off. Also, the water may look pretty because of its brightness and how it shimmers in the sun, but it smells and sometimes even has deadly creatures. If you think about it, there's no such thing as a perfect day at the beach. The water's always cold and it's not clear. That freaks a lot of people out because you wouldn't be able to see anything that's happening by your feet. What if you were in the ocean, and you just happened to step on a poisonous sea urchin because you couldn't see where you were going? The feeling would be just horrible. You wouldn't even be able to see anything that could kill you, like a lion fish. Did you know that most people who get stung by a lion fish die because they are paralyzed and they can't swim? They drown. But if you can swim to shore BEFORE you are paralyzed, whatever it stung will most likely decay and fall of without treatment because the venom is so strong. That's just sad.

Patriotism - Exactly 350 Words!

            BOOM! POW! CRACKLE! Those are sounds you hear on the Fourth of July, right? What most kids don't know is that it is also called Independence Day. It is the day that we won independence; the day we earned America. It was our soldiers that fought, the ones with the most patriotism. They fought for our country and were willing to die for it. Patriotism is very important to them, as it should for most everyone. Patriotism still matters and always will.

             Patriotism is a symbol of our appreciation for our country. It shows how much we care. If patriotism were to be dead, where would we be now? That question is unknown and for the sake of our lives should stay unknown. We should always have spirit somewhere in our hearts. Patriotism is what we are. We are America, and this is our home. If we don't protect it, we could become part of another colony. We won our own independence, and we should be able to keep it.

             Everyone has different opinions. It's kind of hard to understand why people fight and have war. What if there was no such thing as fighting? Would it make our life better, or worse? Less people would die, and that's for sure a good thing. If there was no such thing as patriotism, would there be countries, or would we all be one large country? If the world had formed differently where all the land as connected, would we be one country? Then we wouldn't have to fight about which country is the best. There is no such thing as bad taste because it's an opinion. One's trash is another's most valuable treasure.

             As clear as it is, all countries are important and all countries matter. It's just the patriotism that makes people get excited and spazz-like. Even though it seems as though it would be a better life without it, its still important. No matter what, patriotism is always going to be important, no matter what. It's good to be different. Our country is and always will be very important.
