jrl entry

Through out my four years of high school i have learned a lot. i learned that procrastinating is the worst thing you could ever do on an project. And always do your homework no matter what because homework is a huge part of your grade. i wouldn't have change anything that has happen to my in my whole high school experience. the next thing in my life is I'm going to get a summer job at a catering business in napa and after that I'm going to culinary school for fourteen mouths. the school is up in napa and i have been there a few time just to check it out it actually a pretty cool place. the chefs there are very nice. the only thing that i am worried about leaving high school is staying in touch with all my buddies because most of them are moving away the are only a few that are going to be local. its just going to be weird when everyone hangs out and half of are group is going to be missing. one of my friend is going to Arizona and the other one going to Santa Cruz and the other ones going to the navy. i think i ready to leave but I'm not a hundred percent sure because I'm real nervous that everything is going to get really hard but i know that i can hand any thing that is thrown at me as long as i have my family and friends. the only thing that I'm going to really have a problem with is when i have to leave my friends and family to start my own life but i dont think that I'm going to far away because i really like the area i live in . i would either move to San Fransisco or some were up in napa were i could start my own restaurant.

the love for the game

i have been playing soccer for 13 years of my life. its has been a major part of my life because my whole family plays. i would be a very different person if i had never played soccer. i first started play soccer in the kindergarten. as i progressed through the years i got better.there are many different things i have learned by playing soccer. the most valuable thing is probably team work. team work is major part of soccer because if you cant work with your team you will never win a game. my most memorable moment in soccer was this year we were playing on a new turf field and we were down one player and had no subs. there was only ten minutes left in the game and the game was tied. the other team had just fouled one of are player and we were taking a direct free kick 35 yard out from the goal as Phil my team mate to the kick i ran to the far post of the goal and the whole thing felt like it was in slow motion as the ball came across i jump up and head the ball and it went into the bottom right corner of the net. i was stunned when i saw it and i couldn't believe that i had scored we won that game 3-2.but probably the best thing that i have taken from soccer is all the different friends i have made.

the holiday shoot out

every family gathering on my dads side we have a big paintball game at my uncles lake. my uncles has 90 acres of land that i have converted into an amazing paintball course. the whole thing took my 2 weeks to build.so at both ends of the course there is a huge base one is in the open and the other is in a giant fig tree bush thing. along the sides of the hills i have dug trench's 4 feet deep and 4 feet wide. part of the of the field is under some trees and the other part is in a long narrow field. in the narrow field i have bought some inflatable bunkers and have made bunkers out of trees i have cut down.

so last year i think it was spring break and i was spending it at my uncles house and we were having a big barbecue. so after we ate we split the teams and it was my team vs me uncles team and the game began. the whole game lasted for about an hour. i was the last one on my team and there was 4 other people on the other team . they had me bunkered in a trench. so i decided to just go for i.t i jump out of the trench and started firing like a mad man. as i soon as i jump out of the trench i shot two of them and i ran to the bushes under a tree to hid. as soon as i lay down in the bush i hear something crack above me. i look up and see my 10 year old cousin sitting on a tree branch. by the time i tryed to run she had all ready had shot me. i was so mad. till this day she never lets me forget the time she shot me.

stupid beaver

okay so at my uncle house has 12o acres of land with a 30 acre lake. in this lake he has all kinds of fish and stuff, but the new thing that has take over is beavers which have came over from the river right by his lake. so one summer afternoon me and my uncle were at his house just sitting on the couch watching TV. my uncle turns to me and says that he is bored so i said lets go fishing. so we went to the shed and grab the fishing pole and the tackle box. as we head down to the dock we heard a big splash . it kinda startled me. i ask him what it was he said it was just a beaver that has been living in his lake for like 4 months. as we got to the dock i look down the shore line of the lake and saw all the trees have been cut down. so i turned to my uncle and said this beaver is a pain it s destroying the lake. so that when i told my uncle the idea that we should go get are paintball guns and go mess with this beaver. he hesitated at first but then he said why not. so we grab are paintball guns and load up and jump into the boat. as we headed across the lake i saw the beavers head skimming across the water so i pick up my paintball gun and spread a line of paintball's at the beaver. we did this for a half hour until we ran out of paint. after that i have never seen the beaver again. but some how the trees are still getting cut down. but if i ever seen that beaver again i be back in that boat chancing it down.

rule of the bone

during high school we have read many different books. but this year we have read rule of the bone which is the best book we have read all year. the book is about a kid name chappie and his life. chappie get in some a bit off trouble and decides to leave his parents. after leaving his parents chappie becomes a drifter. he never stays in one spot for very long. during chappie adventure he meets up with many different people like the bikers, bong brothers,buster brown,rose. but the probably the greatest person he meets is iman who is and ilegal Jamaican immigrant. iman teaches chappie many things. that about were i am in the book so far.

the big black bear

my best friend is joey D. i have been on many advetures with joe. most are very funny but a few are dangerous and intence. like this one time joe and i went up to his cabin. his cabin is on goat mountain but it kinda weird because theres are no goats on the mountain. alright back to the story, so joe and i were at his cabin and it was in the summer and we were riding are dirt bikes all over joeys property.one day we decided to go on a two day ride and at the end there was this little creek that we would go swimming. so we started on are adventure joe riding his bike and a drivin the atv with all are gear on it. the ride was going good the first day nothing to big a few bruse and bumps . so later that day we set up camp. and went to sleep. in the middle of the night we were awoke by a hella loud noise. so i peer a out the tent and all i could see was a black figure so i turned back to joe and ask him to throw me the flash light. when i turn the flash light and pointed it at the figure i could see that it was a black bear and it was tearing are little cooler apart. thats when i remember that joe dad told us to tie the food up in a tree so u dont atract bears. after i told joe he said that we should just kick it in the tent till it leaves. so me and joe sat in the tent and waited till the noise was gone. when we thought it was safe we got out of the tent just at sun rise to see that the bear had destroyed the cooler and had left. so we decicide that instead of finishing the ride we would go back to joe cabin. that was probably the most intence adventure me and joe ever had.

brothers

brothers no matter if they are little or older they are always a pain. me and my little brother get if fight over the stupids stuff. my little brother always annoys me so much. like on a 8 o clock on a Saturday morning when I'm fast a sleep not to be woken till later. he comes running in my room making tons of noise and turns the TV oh hella loud and asking what do u want to do today. i just pick a pillow and throw it at him till he leaves. so to get back at him for waking me up i do little stuff to bug him like tie his shoes together. but there are a few moments when he is actually okay to be around like when we go snow boarding and biking. I'm so amazed at the stuff he can do because when i was his age i would have never done some of the stuff that he does. so in all having a brother is probably and okay thing.

this kid

There is this kid i know he is ..... well there is no one word that can explain him. he is probably the most interesting person that i will meet in my life time. his story's that he tells me are so crazy and far out that you think he was lying but the something about the way he tells it you know its true. when i first met this kid i thought he was crazy and there might be something wrong with him. he had really long hair and always used to fall asleep in English and the teacher would always wake him up with a blow horn. he would jump out of his seat and the whole class would laugh. this year i have really got to know this kid because we had three class together.are first class was art. In art class my table and i would always looked forward to Monday morning when he would come in and tell us a story about his weekend adventures. he used to call this time "story time". There was only one rule that it never left the group. the next class we had was English. i sat 2 desks away from him and use to listen to him and Andrew graves fight about stupid conspiracy's. i would just sit there and laugh about there crazy ideas. Then next class we had together was econ. He would always come in late blasting his reggae music for the whole class to hear. The econ teacher is a very interesting lady but that's another blog. The teacher in are econ class might have a few screws loose. so every chance he could get he would try to get her to talk about aliens or something so off topic that we wouldn't get any class work done. I'm am very glad that i meet this person. i think almost everyone in this school probably knows him in some way.i hope we stay in touch when high school over but knowing him, he is probably going be doing some crazy. oh ya if u don't now who this person is yet well to bad.

the weekend

last weekend was hella sweet me and my buddy went up to my cabin in mt. Shasta. plus it was three day weekend! we left Friday after school and arrive there late. the next day we are going to go back country snowboarding with my buddy Greg. Greg just got a new snow mobile and him and his dad are going to take use up on the back side of Shasta. we awoke around 6:30 and rush out of the house with boards in hand. after the half hour drive to the bass of the mountain we meet up with Greg and his dad and we were off. it took use 40 min to get to the get to the top of mt. Shasta. After 4 and a half hours of snowboarding we were all tire but it was only 1 in the afternoon when we got back to my cabin so we decide to go to the ski park. I'm not going to lye I'm not pro or anything at snowboarding up i can do some stuff. so we met up with Brett who works at the ski park and he gave all off us free ski lift pass. he told use he would meet back up with us after his shift was done. we spent the rest of the day at the ski park and got to stay late and board with all the worker. then next day we all slept till the late afternoon and decide to go paintball in the snow. it wasn't the greatest idea but it was still pretty fun.
