okay, brilliant thought for the day brought to you by the man and his son that sit behind me – now for three years strong at the bama games – first series yesterday for the opposing team, the owls of fla atlantic have a third and one – and they delay the game and are backed up five yards – and the father says “ooh, they’re going to be better now here b/c we would’ve stopped their run” – and i’m like “seriously??? you think third and six is better than third and one??? quick! tell coach saban so he can decline the penalty!!!”
“Never Fall Down” – so i finished this book in a day – yesterday to be exact – 1/2 before the bama game – and 1/2 during the game (thank you pay-per-view timeouts – really people, if you pay $40 for a game, why should you have to see commercials???) and so i’m done with high school BOB – don’t consider this a high school book at all – serious topic, 197os cambodia-vietnam conflict – serious issues (child soldier) – but in my high school days, we actually would’ve, oh, i don’t know… READ about the conflict and what happened and grappled with the US involvement – rather than read a child’s novelization…
“Catherine the Great” – yeah!!! finished friday – took forever – if she’d only had like five lovers instead of 12, maybe the book could’ve come in at 475 instead of 575 – anyway, catherine was great b/c she got rid of poland (literally) and developed the ukraine – and she was russia’s last female leader – unique character – but like reading a russian novel, it required some patience – the names probably most similarily to a novel from the same country
freed up from BOB obligations now and with a “big, serious” book finished, i’m looking to go brain dead for the rest of the fall – good times await:)

I’m still reading The People of Sparks, and since I’m at the library it’s going to be a short blog.
Okay, so I left off when Torren was telling Lina about what everyone’s been talking about, the Disaster. I never really got to know about it yet but so far I found out why Ember was built in the first place. It was built right before the disaster, and people needed a safe place to stay. So they rounded up some people who wouldn’t live very long and gave each person a baby. They were to raise that baby in Ember to they can rule it in the future.
This sort of goes back to the first book because the Emberites were supposed to show up at Sparks forty years earlier but the seventh mayor of Ember kept the instructions on how to get out and they weren’t found until Lina found them and deciphered them.
That’s all I’ll be able to do today because I have to get back to class. Bye
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
“How are you today”
“Good how are you”
(no response)
You know that”s how a ton of people are you try to be nice and ask them how there doing. The least they can do is say good or not well. Not just ignore you and walk away. Well that has totally appliance to my book in anyway!!:D
Ok im reading Rangers Apprentice and i don’t really understand it. So I started reading the 9 weeks challenge but that didn’t work either. ( I forgot what it was called.) So I’m just going to tell you about my room.

But I do love your Mom. She is soooooooo FUNNY!! Im not trying to do that sweet talk thing that you told us not to do. But I do see where you get your humor from!!
Well now I got to go my mom is yelling at me for some dumb reason Im sure

ok bailey, #1 harry potter is not the best series in the world, hunger games is #2 i read “a series of unfortuate events” and it sucked #3 I REFUSE TO DIE IN A HOLE!!!!!!!
AnnMarie when you tell people you are not so bad at spelling, maybe you should spell those words right (i quote, “bealeave” “scolors” “spelt”)
OH AND LIKE I WASN`T A GOOD INNTERROGATOR! You JUST CAN`T STAND THE FACT I WON!!!! BOO-YAH!!!!! (p.s-HI AMANDA VICK I JUST MET YOU 2-DAY!!!!!) Oh that makes me think-
hey i just met you
and this is crazy-
HOLY CRAP IM TURNING INTO CARLY RAE JEPSEN HELP ME!!!!
I never got to make up my third blog so I am going to blog twice agian to day. Oh and I have no idea what or why people are talking about brownies it probably has nothing to do with brownies but I want a brownie Mr. Mayfield please ( I love brownies ) I have been good. 🙂
Creative
Second after second I wait
In the white dull room I can hear the clock tick tock tick tock
I can hear pencils screetching on the paper
I crab the papers and run to the other side of the room
My grip is loose and the wind catches the ends of the paper and they fligh high in every direction as soon as it hits the ground people flud in to help I step back and go to my seat I can hear pencils taping and books slaming and people talking I hear kids out side the door rustling and giggling
Then I hear the first bell
Then I hear people burst out of the other class rooms and run to the bus
I hear my bell I am the first peson out of the class room
I am on the bus The day is over ( No offense Mr.Mayfield sense your my last class 🙂 )
1. Really Bailey no one can point out YOUR spelling but yet EVERY body points out MY spelling.
2. If you ever go out and read all the blogs everyone writes you will have a GIANT laugh.
3. I know this is kinda mean but, Carden maybe tomorrow you can try NOT to color your face. And yeah I know “you can kick my butt” haha that’s rich!!!!
4. And Carden going around saying you can kick peoples butts and saying u can beat them up and that your going to can get you suspended.
5. I’m gonna do a poem today about the first random thing that comes into my mind ( oh no 😉 )
I’m not the best at THIS,
I’m not the best at THAT.
Everyone points and stares,
Everyone sits and laughs.
They think it’s just SO funny,
That I embarrassed my self just ONCE.
Is it REALLY funny when I get hurt?
But yet people around the world get abused EVERY day!
THAT’S not funny,
So how come when I get hurt its SO funny?!
People commit suicide EVERY day,
Some times JUST because enough people laughed at them.
If its SO funny when I get hurt,
Then read this poem again and watch the world change before your eyes.
Because one you’ll figure out,
That everyone has feelings,
Everyone gets hurt.
It’s NOT funny when someone trips or falls,
And when the days comes that you learn this,
The people around you will be pleased that the days they dred are over.
^
For anyone who’s been laughed at or been picked on.
And for anyone who’s been abused ( yeah it DOES happen in the real world )
It’s supposed to be “one day you’ll figure out” not “one you’ll figure out”
Sorry i messed up alittle
Creative, again!! 🙂
Rain
The coolness of the raindrops is soothing.
Jumping in puddles fills me with happiness.
Hearing the raindrops calms me.
It’s a kid’s favorite thing: getting wet.
Raindrops dripping of my nose and splashing on my toes.
Who doesn’t love the rain?
WAZZZZZZ!!!!!! UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creative
The day is long and hard I feel like I am about to fall apart
I hear the teacher talking and just get up and start walking
I hear her start to call my name and enstead of stoping I just keep walking
The news I just found out I started to freak out
My friend had a car wreck and was in the hospital
They would not tell me any thing else because I am not family
The first think that poped into my head was she is dead
I walked the 5 miles to the hospital strat out of class walked up to the front desk and sayed her name the lady pointed to the room that had no people in it I looked I and no one was there exept her chart she had passed away
in the room I said knowing she was there A golden heart stop beating hardworking hands at rest god proved to us he only takes the best
by the way my nickname is mandi k at home 🙂 😛
tee hee mr. mayfield your mom is the funniest lady i have evr seen!!! 😛
i luv her!!!!! 😛 😉
Hi, this is my creative piece for the week I will be writing a cinquain poem
Government
Powerful, strong
Makes all decisions
Full of authority
Law
By the way Your mom is hilarious
hey mr mayfield this week i read wnesday wars. it’s a pretty exciting and interesting book. although i think it could use a little more action. also i am going to write a poem.
day after day i go to school
and they feed me some nasty greul
even though it can be boring
i still had a wild week
on monday i lost my work
on teusday i accidentally swolled my fork
wednesday was crazy because my work was awful
thursday was disgusting in science class a frog jumped down my shorts
i was so glad when friday came because thats when we had pudding at lunch
well its all for the money i guess
Waz up blog readers? In your face brownie lovers, I had a brownie today. Eat my swag! These are three creative poems.
Time
Tick-tock.
The hand rotates round and round.
Quickly.
You don’t want to leave your friend’s house.
You anxiously hope your mom gets destracted.
Time has different speeds.
In this situation, it is going fast.
It is wide awake with the excitement going on.
Sometimes it decides to go slow.
Sitting in last block.
The clock seems to become bored with learning,
dozing off and slowing time.
Time is never entertained when wanted,
or bored when wanted.
Therefore, have fun in everything you do.
Have a positive attitude.
Then maybe Father Time will give mercy.
Shoes
Treds make contact with the ground.
An occasional pebble is sent flying.
You must watch where you are going,
or you could trip and fall.
Your back, also important.
One bad injury, and you could be in a
wheelchair for life.
This is a happy poem though.
Your shoes are like memories.
Wherever you go,
your shoes go to.
You stand where a movie star once stood,
in a bestselling blockbuster.
Your feet actually touched.
You did not, your shoes did.
Take care of your shoes,
they contain many memories.
Detention
They said I complained too much,
when the homework was announced.
So here I am in detention,
all because of my mouth.
So here I sit surrounded by these kids,
who are six foot tall and have mustaches.
They have suffered puberty,
that is true.
Still I wonder, to get into detention
what did they do?
When the teacher picks up a book,
I lean over and ask.
He was one with a stache,
and breath that smelt like trash.
I said “Yo dude,” trying to sound cool.
“What exactly did you do?”
He said it simply, as true as can be.
Using a lot of words I’m not allowed to speak.
When the time was up, I knew one thing,
what he said was not to be repeated as long as I’m living.
Thx for reading!
I am going to tell you the jist of chapters 6 and 7. Ok well Tyray gets 40 dollars from Lark and he goes to 43rd street on the way home from school and he tries to find Jupiter to get the gun. But instead he finds this weird, skimpy kid and he says that he has a gun but 40 dollars will only get him a cheap gun. The skimpy weird kid says meet me at Muscleman Gym toinght at 11:00. So that night Tyray went up to his room saying he was tired. He sat on his bed listening to the TV that his dad was watching. At 10:30 he heard hid dad turn off the TV with a click. He heard his dad’s footsteps get closer and closer. Tyray thought at first that his dad was going to come in until he heard his dad’s footsteps start to fade away. He got ready to go at 10:50 and crept down the stairs out the door. He starts to walk to Muscleman Gym. When all of a sudden he sees a cop car’s lights and he thought to himself if they stop him they would wonder why he is out so late and why he has a pocket full of cash. So avoiding the cops he runs into an alley and he feels the cops lights beaming from side to side in the alley and they don’t see him because he is blocked by a rusty old van. So he jumps over a fence into a person’s yard and their dog stars to bark and then a light from inside the house turns on. But Tyray keeps running and then jumps the other fence heading the opposite way of the police. Tyray starts to walk to the gym and he looks at his watch, 11:10. He starts to run and when he gets there it is 11:15. He wonders if the weird skimpy kid set him up. Then he heard a voice from the darkness. Then all of a sudden he feels and hears a CRACK! The sound rocketed through Tyray’s skull. Then he noticed that he was bleeding on the back of his head. Then the pocket that had the 40 dollars in it was empty, Tyray had gotten robbed. Tyray stomped home with anger and frustration. He was so mad. He crept in his house. Tyray woke up the next morning with a big blood stain on his pillow. He got a new clean pillow case a put it on there.
I’ve learned two things about myself today. 1. I’m so lazy i only blog on th ursday night at 9:00. 2. I can’t finish a book. I’ve gone through 3 books in 3 weeks. Well here comes my first journal. Im reading Playing with a Purpose. I found it funny about how it said Kyle Korvers mother scored 40 points a when she played back in school. It sounds like she should be in the NBA instead!
I also read that Kyle Korver got to play basketball with other kids on a regular basis. I wish I could have that chance. I know I go to Wednesday night church, but that’s only an hour. You hear about Kyle Korver and Scottie Pippen and other people, playing basketball everyday with friends in their childhood. I wish I could play with friends every day but all i get I the chance to go outside a shoot everyday. :'(
It also talked about Kyle Korver moving, and I thought about how I could never move. I would never want to move frim wilsonville. I live this town, i love CMS, I love all the friends I have, it would be impossible for me to move.
Sorry I accidentally clicked submit. But like I said, i couldn’t live anywhere else but wilsonville. If I did, it would be the hardest thing I’d have ever done. Now im done. Goodnight everybody:)
so i forgot to blog last night so i am going to blog right now so my book is anout percy killing one of his teachers turns out none of the other teachers knew who that was so any way he does that and that was pretty much all that part of that5 chapter was about so that is about it so see you.
hey mr mayfield i will do a five min blog on the authors purpose.
pat sullivan had to choose between auburn and alabama he chose auburn because he had always liked them more than any team and if there was anywhere he wanted to go it was to auburn. i think the author included this because he wanted to say you will face hard choises just go with what your heart feels it right.
P.S.- I MADE MY FIRST TOUCHDOWN
Heeeeey whats up?!

Be exited, now I will try to do a stupid abc poem.
Always remember me
Between the lines is where you should read
Can`t is not an answer
Dream today, live tommorow
Emptiness is where you haven`t tried
Fear is not an option
Greatness is your destiny
Handle your power-controll your life
Integrity is key
Just amaze them like you always have
Keep yourself in line
Live the way you choose
Many have tried
Nobody has succeded
Only you control your fate
Please remember me
Question those who don`t
Remember the lesson I teach you
Stand up for what you believe in
Together; we unite
United we stand
Very many have failed but you will not
Walk with pride
eXactly the thing we need
You are the one to win
Zip to the prize
