A story made by us.... Continued (Part 2)

My,  what did I just do?  I like Chelsea.. but seriously?  And Justin Bieber of all people, I was shaking my head.  Anyway, what will Chelsea say when I ask her? Am I going to ask her?  I could just give her the tickets.... Maybe I will cut my hair like JB and sing for her instead?  Scratch that!!! Bad, really bad idea.  The concert is not for a while, so I will have plenty of time to come up wit a plan.  Do I even like girls yet?  They smell good - most of them... Well, not after gym class!  Mental note. 

Phone is ringing.  "Hey, how are you? "  sure I said - " I'll meet you at the skate park in 10 min.  I can finish homework later."  As I said those words I had my moms look in my head and how she would tell me off if she knew.  She does not know, right now, besides, I have to shake of the shock of my actions and take some time to think.  As I am leaving out the door, I am catching a climbs of a video flashing over the TV screen: Selena Gomez.  Now, there is a girl that is cute.  I should ask her out to the concert.  Wait, yup, I DO NOT know her!!! And she is already dating JB, I think.  Arrgg.  My dilemma is growing.  My anxiety is kicking in soon, I have to get out of here.

I met Chris at the park.  Man, he always has the coolest gear.  He is good, better than good.  Every minute he has he is on the board.  I would love to be in competitions like him.  However, my mother would not permit it.  "School comes first, how else will you become a lawyer one day?"  Does she even know a pro athlete can make much much more money than a lawyer?  Ah well, one can dream.  I am here and I am going to try that new trick Chris was teaching me yesterday.  should I tell Chris about what happened earlier?  Better not, he only has boards and tricks and competitions on his mind.  Besides, he is used to girls falling all over him.  Sports groupies my dad calls them.  I think that means all the girls huddle around you like cheer leaders after a winning competition.  Ah, the life - one day... one day I will have the life!  Hey, boys dream too.  Is that Chelsea's voice?  No!!!!! I hope not.  This is my zone.  Girls like her do not come here, often.  And there she is - her hair all flowing in the wind.  She is dressed  cute - why am I noticing?  she even has that neon green nail polish on.  I saw in moms magazine when I spilled my milk on it a few days ago.  Wouldn't you know it?  Chelsea added mini pictures of Justin Biebers heads to her finger nails.  Yes, I noticed.  She had passed a note right in front of me to her friend in class.  Why is she here? 

Sadly, and predictable, she is smiling at me and walking up to Chris.  Really?  who did NOT see this coming.  I suppose I can give the JB tickets to him now.  Better yet, maybe my parents would like to go?  Who am I kidding?  The would go anyway as they would not let me attend by myself.  Man, Chelsea is all over Chris.  Did she just ask him to show her how the board works.  He is MY friend.  We came here to get away from all the other things.  Ouch - it is just not my day perhaps.  That just goes to show, one never knows.  Never say never -  a girl is doing an awesome trick up by the bench.  Yes I am noticing.  More and more girls are mastering this sport, quite rad actually.  Smooth - no flaw.  I have  never seen her here.  Great, she is saying hello to : Chris!  I can 't win.  Or can I?  She is coming up to me?  My board?  She likes my board... yes, never say never.  This could be a good day.  She is teaching me her bench trick, right now?  I am free, certainly.  Chris seems preoccupied by Chelsea and the girls.  Why not.  Lets  go.....

Fudge * Late 1800s

If someone exclaims " oh fudge !" you know that something has gone wrong.  Shmm?  Where did we hear that before ?  lol  According to legend, fudge was invented when someone bungled the recipe for caramels.

North America

Asians were the first people to discover America, beating Christopher Columbus by as many as 40,000 years.  Who would have thought that?  These Native Americans didn't find many animals they could tame, but they grew corn, squash, beans, and tobacco.  They also build pyramids and temples.  They established cities that were centers of commerce and culture.  Along with cities came systems of writing, counting, and calendars.  In the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution arrived in North America, and inventors got busy.  Who knew?

The Universe is Friendly

Einstein was asked what he thought th emost important question was tha a human being needed to answer.  His reply was "Is the Universe friendly or not?"

Gratitude is the memory of the heart; therefore forget not to say often, I have all I ever enjoyed.

Day at Skate Plex

Skate Plex

We thought to share our recent fun with you.  Our principal arranged an outing for the students with no demerits and excellent Citizenship.  It was our reward for hard work and good grades.  Five hours of fantastic music, black lights and a disco ball.  We enjoyed the trip and our friends who were able to go on the trip with us.  Everything was peachy up to the fifth hour when some of us got tired and more of us fell to our bottoms.  lol  The only thing missing was a skating principal.  It would have been even more fun.  We had a wonderful time.  Thank you for the opportunity!

Skate with you next time !

Please, enjoy a short video of one of our conga skate lines, posted above.

Reminder - Poll

A reminder!  We have a poll going on the right side towards the bottom.  Please, participate and vote for your favorite singer!  Share the fun and tell others!

Thank you

A story made by us

Ah, finally!  Homework done, time for that pizza snack platter mom prepped earlier.  Hmmmmmm, how great that will taste, with a little soda.  Second thought, soda - tasty, not so healthy.  Mom would fuss and give a lecture.  What are my options here?  Lets see, as I am gazing into the pantry, my thoughts deviate.  As I am looking deeper and deeper for my drink, my mind takes me deeper and deeper into my alternate universe.  That is what I call my dream reality - it only exists in my head.  Here I can freely explore everything and I AM the really cool dude in school.  The man, the handsome boy, the star of all that is school related.  Well, as I mentioned, it is not really real.  In between hopes of meeting the ultra cool Ryan Scheckler, my sports hero, and a diamond straight  A report card I am finding myself discussing whether I should like girls or still find them silly and over emotional.  I have this awesome friend, she knows how to handle her skateboard better than most guys in school.  Not worries, no funky emotions there.  I like her, as  a friend!  There is Chelsea, now she is sporty, but not athletic. Man, she has the looks.  Did she really smile at me when I openly fussed about the amount of homework we got?  Kinda cute, nice hair... she smells, like cotton candy wrapped in the cleanest laundry, dipped in my favorite ice cream.  Ahhh, where is that coming from?  Soda: Pepsi, 7 up, Dr...... She flipped her hair my way, was that a sign?  I thought only had eyes for that new singer sensation... Justin Bieber.  What a life he must have, got a hair cut like a girl.  I can't hide my grin.  Ok,ok, not really like a girl, but he sings like one.... haha.  Chelsea, she did smile at me and said she would like to see me ride my board.  What for though?  She does not know the difference in the tricks.  But she is cute, arrgg, girls got cooties! Get yourself together!  How could I?  Where is the water?  We always have water, and now that I am looking for it, where is it?  Chelsea drinks water, only water I think.  Actually, she substitutes food with water I bet.  I have never seen her eat.  What a pain.  Not eating?  I could not do that, so much for being healthy.  Man must MUST eat!  Hope she knows how to cook.  Found the water, finally.  Its about time, a few minutes longer and I might be married to Chelsea in my alternate Universe.  Dodged that bullet... smiling more.  Wow, that is freaky, Justin Bieber is playing in the background.  As I am discovering, that the TV is on and JB is on MTV-Live with his newest song my thought run back to Chelsea.  What if I could introduce her to him?  Would I be her hero?  Or would I be the zero standing on the sidelines hoping to get another smile from her as they run into the crowd together?  Who knows?  Luckily, it will never happen.   And then, it happened.  "call now with the title of this song and you can win four tickets to Justin's new concert " all else faded out.  As I am still yelling at myself: 'noooooooo, what are you doing?' I already dialed the number displayed on the TV screen.  Oh man, noooooo, it is actually ringing.  What are the chances?  One in a million says, never, this is not going to happen.  Never say never!  No really - and "Hello?  That song was 'Never say Never' by Justin Bieber.  Did I win?" I couldn't have, not in a million years. "Yes, my name? My name? Why? Seriously?  You are kidding, right? No, no, I DO want the tickets!" - what am I saying here? - "Here is my name and address....."

What just happened?  No way!  Is that legal?  I am a minor.  What will my parents say?  I feel nauseous...  I need something stronger than water... I need orange juice!!!!

The Solution in the Problem

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who  get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.

Did you know?

POTATO CHIPS 1853

When a cranky customer at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, kept sending his fried potatoes back to the kitchen, insisting they were too soggy, the chef, Native American George Crum, decided to go a bit further.  What followed made history - and great snacks!  He cut the potatoes paper-thin and fried them till they were stiff.  To his great surprise, everyone loved them.
Yum!!

Above the influence

MEGAMIND

In the new movie, MEGAMIND, Will Ferrel stars as Megamind, a weird, fun, hilarious, strange, mind blowing, super, mega, ultra funny, giant blue headed, villain.(WOW, that's a lot of descriptive words!) Any who, in this movie, Megamind has been in battle with Metro Man,(Brad Pit), since, basically, his hole life! Until, one day he finally defeats him..., or as he thinks. >:)  As Megamind runs ramped through the streets(:p), there is one problem, he forgets what his purpose in life was. Because, without a hero to stop him, he has no purpose. T his movie is one of the funniest movies you will ever watch (or maybe the funniest movie ever, you know)! This movie will have you laughing harder than ever! Just remember, whenever you feel "meloncaly", to watch this movie! Now, I have to go, I  have to go to "SHOAHHHHL" , school, tomorrow !

ReesesPieces-OUT!
