Pretty mean Swines.

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. There was Curly. He was the oldest.There was Wurly. He was the smartest. And then there was Flo. She was the favorite pig.Their mother loved Flo the best. Curly, Wurly and Flo lived with their mother in a high-riseapartment building in New York City. Their apartment was on the 75th floor.The pigs didn’t mind this because there was an elevator that opened right in front of their apartment door. It was on the days that their elevator wasn’t working, that the pigs suffered.Their little hoofs would be aching by the time they reached their apartment.Their mother would have to have little hoof baths waiting for her three little pigs when they finally reached the top. Of course, Flo always got the warmest hoof bath because she was their mother’s favorite. One day, Mama Pig sent the three pigs to the store to buy apples for their dinner. She gave them a list of items that she needed.She also gave them their allowance, and she told them that they could buy their favorite candy which they would eat for their dessert. The three pigs put on their jackets (it was winter).They put on their gloves and scarves. Next, it was time to put on their boots.Curly slipped on his bright red leather boots over his red and yellow polka dot socks.Wurly, being the most intelligent, slipped on his waterproof, fully lined boots over his white socks.Curly and Wurly were ready and waiting for their sister. She could not find her boots."Curly and Wurly," she said, "have you seen my boots?"Curly and Wurly looked at each other and then they looked at their sister."I’ll tell you where they are," said Wurly, "if you’ll give us your allowance to hold while you go and get them.""Okay," agreed Flo as she handed the boys her allowance."There are your boots, over there," said Curly. "Where?" asked Flo suspiciously."Over there!" squealed the boys as they pointed to the window in there living room."They're over there behind that curtain." Flo slowly walked toward the window.The boys followed closely behind their sister. Just as she reached the window, Curly opened the window and Wurly pushed Flo through. Curly and Wurly squealed with delight as their sister fell 75 floors. Curly and Wurly were thrilled that their plan worked. They were rid of Flo and they had her money! Luckily for Flo, she landed on a huge snow pile and was not hurt. Her brothers were not so fortunate. Mama Pig heard the commotion, ran into the living room and, when she realized what they had done, sent the boys to live with their Uncle Oscar Mayer.Uncle Oscar always knew what to do with bad little pigs. The boys protested. They were just doing Flo a favor by helping her find her boots; it wasn’t their fault that she was clumsy.But Mama would not listen to their excuses and off they went to Uncle Oscar’s. Flo and Mama Pig still live on the 75th floor of the apartment building in New York City, and their very happy there. Now Flo gets her brothers’ allowance since their not there.

The person to my left.

Right now, I am sitting at one of the many computers that our school provides, and to the left of me sits a girl named Erin. As I glance over at her quickly I notice a few things. First, her hair is a lot more blond than it was when we were buddys in pre-school, she's taller than I by a few inches and her hair falls lightly beyond her shoulders. After being friends for so long, I notice her usual habits that she probably does not even notice anymore. As she looks at her computer screen she shifts her weight to lean on her right elbow and brings her hand to her mouth and plays nervously with her bottom lip. She has always done this, and the memory of her mother telling her over and over not to do it is still fresh in my mind. She was always a nervous kid, so I guess it is what she does to calm her nerves. I also notice that her posture is not great as she sits at her computer slumped down and starring intensely forward. Another trait she seemed to always get punished for in typing class. That is the girl to my left. One of my best friends and someone who it would seem has been sitting to my left all my life.

Time Casule

If my community was planning to make a Time Capsule and I had to put five things of my choice into it, I know exactly what I would put in. The first thing I would put in would be a picture of New Brunswick that my grandfather took when he was a kid. I would put this in because I would like them to know how New Brunswick is supposed to look, and that they should try to restore it. The second thing I would put in would be my laptop, so they would see how our computers worked and how we accessed the Internet. The third thing I would put in would be a mixed CD that I made containing all my favorite music, so they could see what good music was in our time. The fourth thing I would put in would be a newspaper so they could understand the events that were happening in our time. The fifth thing I would put in would be some pictures of people working. I would put this in because, my guess is that if they have more technology than we have right now than they won't have to work for much.



***************************************************************************************



Hello people from the future,



My name is Taylar. I live on the Rapid road, and you probably have no idea where that is. My family consists of me, my brother and sister and my parents. Well, I can only imagine the reaction you had to the things I left behind. They probably are not much compared to what you have now. In a way if your world is indeed how I assume, I feel bad for you future people. In my day, we walked places and drove in cars and worked for our money. You probably fly around with rocket shoes and are able to clone your friends, teleport to places and make a living by sitting around all day talking to a computer. I feel increasingly bad for you if you have never heard of McDonald's or never tasted a Big Mac. I have a bit of advice for you all. First, once in a while, take off your rocket shoes and go for a walk. It will do you good because you are all probably overweight due to lack of exercise. Second, be careful because if Global warming is still on the rise, there may be some earthquakes and hurricanes. If Global warming is proved to be a myth. Don't worry about it. Finally, you poor dear future people, if food no longer exists and you are forced to eat paste out of a tube. Go to the nearest time machine(which I'm sure you have due to enhanced technology) come back and make a stop at McDonald's. You won't be sorry.

So, that is about all I have to tell you about Future People. Good luck with your lives and happy travels.

The Fantastic Five.

My music is something that is in my life everyday. I wake up to my favorite song as my alarm in the morning. When I get home from school, the first thing I do is plug my Ipod into speakers and listen to songs that make me feel comfortable and at home. The last thing I do before I go to bed is listen to a song that makes me feel relaxed. These are my top five favorite bands, I chose these bands because these are the bands that I have loved for years, each of these bands have provided me with songs that have got me through the good times and the bad. These bands are in no particular order.

#5: Demon Hunter

One of my favorite bands is Demon Hunter, they are one of my favorite bands because they seem to be the band that speaks to me the most when I'm in a bad mood. Demon Hunter is what I like to call a mix of everything. Each of their songs are different, the songs "My heartstrings come undone" and " Storm the gates of hell" could not be more different. At first if you listened to one song after the other you would assume that the songs were by different bands. I like Demon Hunter because none of their songs are the same,and the just keep surprising me with every new and different song they make.

#4: City and Colour

The band City and Colour is one of my favorite bands because of Dallas Green. Dallas Green has one of the best voices I have ever heard. His style of music is so different than anything else I've heard and his voice is very distinct. He has said that he writes songs when he is sad or something has happened in his life, and this shows through his lyrics. Dallas Green is one of the best musicians in my book because he takes risks with his music. To me, City and Colour comes out with songs that are made to instantly leave their mark on your mind, and I often compare their songs to Lays chips. Once you have one, you cant help but want another.

#3: Thousand Foot Krutch.

I have been listening to Thousand Foot Krutch for years now. Thousand Foot Krutch is the band I listen to when I'm in a good mood and want something to bob my head along with, they are also the band I listen to when I'm sad, when I'm mad, on a good day or a bad day. I guess I could say Thousand Foot Krutch has a song for every mood I'm in. Sometimes I think of Thousand Foot Krutch as the Mona Lisa, like they always have something they are happy about that I'm not sure of, which, is infectious and makes me happy. Therefore, every day that starts with a Thousand Foot Krutch song is a good one.

#2: Breaking Benjamin.

How I got interested in Breaking Benjamin in the first place, is a question I can not answer. The truth is, I can't remember how I stumbled upon them or when it was, but I do remember the first song I heard by Breaking Benjamin. That song is called "Breath" and I remember instantly having the lyrics stuck in my head: " You take the breath right you of me, you left a hole where my heart should be, you got to fight just to make it through 'cause I will be the death of you." After that day, I have always thought of Breaking Benjamin as one of the best bands in the world for the fact that they are impossible to ignore. Breaking Benjamin is a band that I would, without hesitation, give my right leg to see live.

#1: Flyleaf.

Flyleaf is unlike any band in the world. Sameer, Flyleaf's guitarist is one of the best I have heard in a while, let us not leave out Angus Young, who is the best guitarist of all time. But that is another band, another story. Above all else, I love Flyleaf for their lyrics. One of the songs that sticks out in my mind for it's memorable lyrics, is a song called " In The Dark": "There's only artificial light here. My flaws hide well here, I used to be afraid of cluttered noises. Now I'm afraid of silence. Fill this space, Idle words." I became interested in Flyleaf two years ago, and since then I have become, a mega fan. I have stated earlier that I would be willing to sacrifice my right leg to see Breaking Benjamin live. In this particular case, I believe I would sacrifice both my legs and my cat to see Flyleaf live. Flyleaf is very special to me because I feel like each of their songs has something I can relate to in them, and it is not often that you find a band that can hold your interest with every song they make. For me, that is Flyleaf.

This has been my top five favorite bands. If you have not had the pleasure of listening to one or all of them before, I suggest you give them a listen.
