To the very small number of people that read this. I am moving my blog to my own site because it isn't blocked by my school.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Well I've worked out 2 out of the last 3 days and gone to the pool the last 2 days. We got passes for the Gurnee pool. It is an okay place. A few slides and some water, I guess that is all you need ( Read more... )

Summer has begun and it is a little boring. I went to camp for a week which was nice. I did a lot of manualy labor and came back 5 pounds heavier. I am telling myself it is muscle, but I ate a lot of food while I was there, so I'm not so sure. I actually bought new shows yesterday which is rare for me. They are of the slip on variety with no laces ( Read more... )

After listening about the top 100 toys I had a fun idea for a science project. The Slinky came in at #9. I think a fun experiment would be to find an equation to relate the speed a slinky has to be pushed in order to make it down a stair case given the ratio of the stairs width to the height of each stair.

Fun.

I am going to be uncharacteristic and put my top 12 for American Idol out there.

I will keep in by sex and I will post it in order.

Going to a high school dance is always an interesting sociological study. It seems that it is different now then when I was a kid. There is a lot more bumping & grinding and less slow songs. We were in the gym for the last 90 minutes of the dance and there were only 2.5 slow songs played. It was continuous techno after techno. Very strange ( Read more... )

I am plesed with the high number of attractive women in the top 12 for the girls, that is not always the case. Between Kelly, Melissa, Heather, Katherine, and (I think) Alay, Becky, Stevie, it should be fun to watch. From the start I have really Kelly Pickley because she is very nice and had the rough past. I am looking forward to the competition ( Read more... )

I liked this episode. A few more odd balls, but still fairly positive.

Denver

*Lisa Tucker - Pretty little girl and sings really, really well. I
can't tell if she is cocky or not. Skinny black girl with curly hair.

*Brett “Ace” Young - I didn't really recognize his sign. He did
have good control I think. Ripped body, high voice.

The more I read and learn the more I still find amazing the people that say money doesn't help schools. Even on the basic level of salary, people say more salary doesn't increase the quality of teacher. Recently a letter said that if I pay the same teacher more money, will they be a better teacher? Well, the answer is obviously no. But, over time, ( Read more... )

I like the first episode. They didn't focus on the negative as much as last year. Here are my thoughts on people.

Chicago

*The twins (Darrell & Terrell
Britenumm) - Sound good. Good personality.

*Gina - dental hygentist - sounds
good and is pretty

*Mandisa Hundley - Good touch. Soft
and powerful.

Christine Davis - Cute, but need to
age.
