Austin Hopcia.

I now have to get into the habit of doing a choice blog once a week, because Mr. Currin feels like that is the right thing to do. I’m sure you have all seen my complaint of even having to do any choice blogs, and now I have to for the rest of my high school career. Enough with the complaining now, time to get to the subject. I decided that I would write about the new seating arrangements in my Online Publishing class. Not only do I disagree with them, but I also think it is affecting my performance in the class. Recently, Justin Patterson was switched with Joe White, so Joe white started sitting next to me. Joe and I got along and it was a good time, and I actually got my work done. Just a few days ago, Mr. Currin thought it would be a good idea to switch Joe with Austin Hopcia. Not that I have anything against the kid, but he is truly affecting my ability to perform will in this class. It’s starting to get noticeable, but I don’t think Mr. Currin sees it. Hopefully he’ll move either me or Austin sometime soon because I want to perform well in school, and I don’t want my grades to get dragged down because of something so easily fixable. If a change doesn’t come within now and the next week, something bad is going to happen. And by bad… I mean bad. I’m talking skipping class and not sitting where I’m supposed to be sitting. It might sound like a risky thing for me to do, because I could possibly be expelled from the school for doing such acts. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Nothing would please me more than being moved away from such a distracting human being. That is all.

The Practical Joke.

For my third and final choice blog of this hectic and tedious week, I am going to talk about the practical joke that my fellow classmates thought would be hysterical while I left the room to get Joe White and I an Intense Milk. When I walked back into the room from my adventure, I thought everything was normal. About a good ten minutes after, I went to see if I could listen to the music on my phone. To my dismay, the phone wasn’t in my pocket, nor was it in front me. Those are the only two places that the phone would be. I immediately took action and searched for the culprit. Nobody would admit to it, and I was starting to get very flustered. It took me to the point of threatening Brian Stoldt. I told the man I was going to turn off his computer if he wouldn’t fess up on the whereabouts of my phone, even if he had it. He claimed he didn’t know where it was, so I turned to my computer neighbor, Joseph White. He started laughing so I knew immediately that he was the one who did the crime. He got it up, and it was miraculously on the table that I knew I checked beforehand. I’m still curious as to who put the phone back on the table, but I know Joe knew about the entire thing. This ends my rant on the situation, and I thought it was choice blog worthy. I hope something like this never happens to me again in this class, because it was pretty embarrassing. The next time Joe walks out the door, I am going to do the worst thing that will ever happen to him in his entire high school career. That is all.

Intense Milk

Since I am being forced to do a second and also a third choice blog this week, I may as well just jump into this second one. I’m contemplating on what to for this second blog, and I think I am swaying towards the Intense Milk that they sell to the students at the Alden High School cafeteria. This is one of the greatest ideas the school has had yet, because milk is a great source of calcium, and it’s only a dollar to purchase. They come in many different flavors, and they have a reasonably decent sized bottle (16 ounces). Most of the time I don’t have a dollar to purchase myself one of these delicious milks, but nine times out of ten a close friends will lend me a dollar so I can satisfy myself with this tasty beverage. Nothing sounds better than a refreshing cold bottle of milk at the end of the day after strenuous work in Online Publishing. Everyone gets sick of Gatorade and water after a while, so adding in the decision of milk is definitely a benefit to the students. Another drink they allow to the students is the Arizona Iced Teas, which are also sold for a dollar. It may provide you with a more satisfying drink since it has more liquid in the can, but nothing completes a meal like milk does. It might seem like I am ranting about milk over and over again, but it is a well-known fact that milk is one of the essential liquids you need to make your bones stronger, and provides you with calcium, which can benefit your teeth. If I were to choose one drink to drink for the rest of my life, it would no doubt in my mind be milk. White milk preferably, because you start to feel kind of sick after too much chocolate milk. Everybody knows that.

iPhone

My first choice blog to start off this week of blogs is going to be about the iPhone. The iPhone comes to mind because I am going to get it on Saturday, and that is probably the most exciting news I have heard in a few months. I recently smashed the screen on my phone because I got angry at Madden. That might seem kind of pathetic, but it is definitely a legitimate reason to do such a thing. I obviously regretted it immediately, but there is nothing I can do about it. I have wanted the iPhone for a while now but T-Mobile doesn’t sell it, so I have to get a whole new contract with Verizon and get a whole new number. It’s going to be a hassle to hand my number back out to everybody, but it’s whatever. No other phone quite compares to the iPhone. It’s convenient, fast, and has thousands upon thousands of apps that can assist you with everyday life, whether it is for personal reasons, or just entertainment. Also, if you have an iPod, you won’t even need it anymore, so you could sell it to get some cash back. This phone should last me a long time because I know I will enjoy it so much that I wouldn’t dare smash it because of a video game. If I do, then I’m just an idiot. The iPhone will not only keep me satisfied for many years to come, but I will also not have to worry about phone problems or things of that nature. Everyone I know who has had an iPhone always says how perfect it is. That’s one thing I have always wanted because every phone I ever get ends up doing something I do not want it to do.

Billy Madison

I’m sure you have all seen the great classic that I am going to write about during this Blog, and that great movie is called Billy Madison. Starring Adam Sandler, it was filmed at the same time as Happy Gilmore, and they were released to the public at around the same time. The amount of one liners that one person can recall from the movie in one sitting would probably take about a day. This movie doesn’t only bring back childhood memories for me, but also for the one and only Mr. Currin. Mr. Currin actually called me and Jose Blanco into his so called ‘office’ to tell us that we were reciting lines that made him pretty nostalgic. It makes you think about what makes a movie so memorable that even your super old teachers remember it from their child hood. But for this movie, it’s no doubt the comedy parts of the movie. If for some odd, unexplainable reason you haven’t seen this timeless classic, the movie is about the son of a millionaire that is not the smartest guy in the world. His Dad decides that his son isn’t smart enough to take over the business, so Billy goes back to school starting from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade to prove to his father that he is smart enough. If he fails any of the grades, the business will be handed over to one of Billy’s dad’s business partners, Eric. Eric is your typical jerk in a movie, and Billy really hates the guy. The movie has a pretty big twist in the end, and Billy actually ends up depending on an Academic Triathlon. I’m not going to tell you how the movie ends obviously, so you are going to have to take the remaining time out of your day to go to the store, buy the DVD, and watch it. You’re welcome.

Three Wishes

I’m sure I’ll never come across a genie at any point in my life, but if that were to happen, I know the exact three wishes that I would say to the man. First off, I would wish to always have exact change for whatever I was buying right in my pocket. For example, if I were going to buy a new television for $501.76, I would have that exact amount of money in my wallet when I pulled out my pocket. This would be way better than wishing for a million dollars, because you wouldn’t be limited and you wouldn’t have to store your money anymore, or even worry about it. The next wish that I would want to be granted is the power to resurrect people that are deceased. Not that I have really lost anybody too close to me, I just think it would be the greatest thing you could do for somebody that lost somebody that had a special spot in their lives. People would never have to worry about losing a significant other in their lives, and that would just be one less thing to worry about during your life. The third and final wish that I would want to be granted is the ability to recall any information that I have ever picked up either consciously or subconsciously. I’m sure anybody would be surprised on all of the stuff that has been fed to them, but not remembered because they let everything go in one ear and out the other. You’d be seen as a genius to the public, but you wouldn’t have to study or take time away from the stuff that you would actually want to do. These would easily be the three wishes that I would wish for, because they would not only make my life a lot easier for myself, but it could be a great benefit to others.
