Who Is Your Favorite Substitute?

My favorite substitute teacher is Mrs. Waters. She thinks she can teach students the subject of Chemistry when she got a degree in English. I came into class this morning and saw Mrs. Waters's smiling face. I had to have a double take because never in my life would I think Mrs. Waters would ever teach us Chemistry. Luckily, Mrs. Waters just stayed behind her desk and stopped everybody from attacking each other. Mrs. Waters is DEFINITELY my FAVORITE substitute!

Less Is More

When I think of the expression less is more I think of homework. The less homework you have the more time you have to accomplish better things. If you had a choice between homework or video games what would you choose? That what I thought. Homework is probably the worst thing on earth!!

Way Back When

My dad was a rebel throughout his high school career. He has told me several stories of the things he did with his friends and how he was constantly in the office. My mom on the other hand wasn't to crazy at all. All I know about my mom when she was in high school, was that she participated in track and twirled. The twirling part is kind of iffy but the track star classifies her as an athlete. She doesn't seem like the type to be too rambunctious but you never know.

My Dream Room

In my room I would want a bed that feels comfortable to me. I would have a huge high definition television so I could watch movies and television. I would have a theme of the Texas Rangers/Oklahoma Sooners. I would want this theme because they are my two favorite sports teams.  I would have a futon so I can play video games comfortably. I would also have a large window looking out over the countryside so I can have a great view when I get bored. If I ever got hungry or thirsty in my room I would just go to my vending machine and a hose that can disperse out many soft drinks of my choosing.

Pro-Castro?

Ozzie Guillen, the manager of the Marlins was suspended five games because he had made comments about supporting Fidel Castro. He was supposed to bring out the Cuban population towards sports but his comments have more than likely destroyed that happening. CHECK IT OUT HERE!!!!!!

My Favorites

My favorite book I have ever read was The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed this book because it was full of action and it made you feel for the characters. My favorite movie was The Hunger Games because it was based off my favorite book and the actors fit their characters very well. My favorite song is Party Rock Anthem. It is my favorite because the song is upbeat and is very thrilling to listen to.

Pretty Please!

Dear most beloved Coach Ashmore,
    As you might know from Mrs. Waters pestering you non-stop The Hunger Games has come to the Ritz. I would like to go to this movie Friday. We really need a break after taking the TAKS and representing this school well. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take us.
              Your favorite student,
                                 Tyler

Years On the Computer

It was Friday night and Darrel had no plans for the whole weekend. He decided he would spend yet another weekend home bound and on the computer. His parents wanted Darrel to get a life so they downloaded this program to encourage him to stay off of it. While Darrel was in the middle of a raid on one of his online multiplayer games, a pop-up came on the screen and told him to get off. He rejected it hastily because he was at a very important part of his attack. Minutes passed by and he was about to kill the boss dragon when another pop-up popped up. This time it asked hi to log off because he had been logged on for a year. He actually hadn't but the program was supposed to humiliate him for being on his computer so much. He clicked "yes" and went to talk to his parents. They created a time table for him to play on the computer, but when his limit was reached he had to get off. This helped Darrel improve on his grades and become a hard-working student.

Pepper the Kitty Cat

In a small secluded town right next to the Ozark Mountains was a cat that had received some terrible news. Unlike the neighboring cat that lived next door, Pepper couldn't have babies. Their local veterinarian diagnosed her with a condition that prevents her to have kittens. The cat that lived next door kept pestering Pepper because all she did was have babies. After a lot of thinking Pepper decided to go to the extreme to have some babies. A forest surrounds the small town and had plenty of raccoons in it. She was going to steal a baby raccoon because their fur color was very similar to hers. Late one night, right after Pepper's owner had fallen asleep she snuck out of the house. That night she was going to make a baby raccoon one of her own. She had put on a little cat mask that her owner had bought for her on Halloween. She went out into the forest and snatched a little baby. The parents of the raccoon had traced the scent of Pepper. This was really hard for them because the smell of Pepper made them sneeze. They finally found her and confronted her about the baby. She confessed, but the raccoon parents felt her pain and decided to give her a break. They decided to become friends and they took a photo to confirm this. Pepper and the raccoons usually visit each other on the weekends.

Mrs. Waters's Worst Nightmare

One summer on a farm somewhere in Texas was a horse that wasn't taken care of properly. This horse was named Salty. He has had that name since birth because right before he was born his mom gobbled down a ton of salt cubes. This seemed iconic enough for this situation so he felt like his name had meaning. The owner of the Salty was Ol' Man Jenkins. Jenkins was a mean, old cowboy that uses no electricity. Jenkins had progressively gotten busier each day. A drought was on his hands and he had to take care of his cattle. Which meant he had less and less time to take care of Salty. Over time Salty had developed ticks and fleas all over his body. Jenkins kept forgetting to apply his medicine from the veterinarian to him. Salty's situation finally got bad enough where Salty had to attempt desperate measures for pleasure. All Salty did, day and night was rub his butt against the fence post. One day Jenkins noticed that he didn't have the time to take care of Salty. So he thought it was best to let him go. He sold him to the Waters because they were interested in a horse for their daughter. The Waters took great care of Salty for a long time. It had seemed that his life kept extending due to the various foods he kept eating. The older Mr. Waters got he spent more time with the horses. Mrs. Waters finally noticed it was going on and got really jealous. For the rest of each of their lives the competed for attention from Mr. Waters. Salty usually one because of his famous technique of rubbing his butt on the fence.

On the Banks With the Waters

It was a breezy summer day in the good ol' plains of Texas. The sun was up, clouds spotted the sky, and all around you could see mother nature in action. Little Sally wanted to go fishing with her uncle at the family pond. She wondered around the family estate trying to look for him. After minutes of searching she found him in the dense, luscious thicket. Sally noticed how he was dressed and assumed he was already going fishing. She called out his name and told him wait up. He slowed his pace as she ran to catch up. As they were walking to the pond they chatted about various topics. They finally made it to the pond and sat beside it. As Sally's uncle cast the reel, Sally questioned his technique. He told her that this was the technique that all the professionals use. Little Sally felt smart at first trying to correct her uncle, but ended up being wrong. This made her realize to think and consider she is wrong before she ever tries to make a correction.

Senses

Sight-I love looking at pictures of my uncle's ranch.
Touch-I love to touch English papers with a perfect grade on it. It makes me feel achieved and it relieves me to know my English teacher knows her math.
Sound-My favorite sound is the silence when the other person thinks of a comeback after I have proved them wrong or burned them.
Taste- I love the taste of Tobasco®. I pretty much put Tobasco® on anything.
Smell-My favorite smell is the scent of the Refflesia. It has a very intoxicating smell.

Forgiveness

I find it hard to forgive people based on what it is that they have done to me. Ususally on the minor events that happen I don't really mind it, but if it is something major it could take me awhile. "Not forgiving someone is like drinking the poison and waiting for the other man to die."
When I ponder about this statement I tend to agree with it. What this statement means is that holding grudges effect yourself more than the person that your holding the grudge on. I say this because when you hold a grudge against somebody it changes your mindset and makes you go out of the way to get them back. It makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. This in turn makes that "dieing" part of the quote seem to make sense.

Fly On The Wall

I wish I was a fly on the wall anytime I ever wanted to be. If I could do this I can answer questions and give direct answers to a suspicious wife, any conspiracy theorist, and probably most of all government officials. I could make a business out of this and make millions of dollars. I can charge what I want to and wouldn't have to worry about employees because it is a one man job.

Tyler's Paradise

A Utopia is a place where everything in it is perfect and or a paradise. It is located far away from any other civilization. This is because we do not need any resources from anywhere else because a utopia will supply your needs plus more. It will be ruled with a government similar to a democracy but the people are randomly selected and filtered through a program to make sure no "illfit" person could be part of it. In the younger years of the utopia they would have to go through vigorus test to weed out the oddballs and make sure there is no one there to ruin it. After awhile all the "perfect" people could breed steadily to keep life going. The orders to keep our utopian people safe would be to have no contact with anyone outside of the utopia. This could ruin our cultures and cause it to spiral in a downfall. It will be ruled by many elected people, because many minds can think more effectively that just one. I will call this place Tyler's Paradise, because it's envisioned by me and you get the gurantee of it being authentic.
