Baseball Haiku

The roar of the croud
It makes me feel so alive
Now let's play some baseball.

Wrench and Klink 2

                                                                        Prologue
After we defeated Palpatine, he vanished along with Captain Solo, and our next big adventure is about to start.

Somewhere in an unknown galaxy: " Mrs. Chedderworth I think we have our next soldier," A mysterious voice said.

" Where are we?" I asked as I found myself in a little ship with this big fat man standing in front of me. The man told me his name was Mr. Whatsahooset and that he needed me to go get a new experiment he made and to join his cause at Megacorp. " We'll do it I said not consulting my partner Klink. Mr. Whatsahooset gave us a ship and it lead us to this little cruising ship. We got on the ship and found the experiment which was a little blue thing, then a figure looking like Darth Vader came out behind a doorway and grabbed the blue creature. The thief got away from us with the experiment but we did manage to get the coordinates to the next place he was going.

" Going to that place was a pointless waste of time," Klink said as we had only gotten a small gadget and began going back to the ship. We began doing a cat and mouse game for a while until we got the experiment and the directions to a desert planet where Mr.Whatsahooset came and got the experiment which is called the Protopet. As he was landing his ship knowing full well that our ship was there he landed on it and we had to find some desert crystals to get it repaired.

" Do you have the amount of crystals I have requested?" This hippie dude said as we came to him with our pockets overflowing with the crystals. " Ah yes these are the right crystals, now watch as my magic does its work, om, om, om." Then as if by magic my ship was all new and ready to fly.

Our next stop was this facility where it had high security but it also had rewards like new armour and new weapons. We had to fight a huge way to get the next location which was to a place called Blackwater city. As we were on planet Joba though we got to use our new glider and flew up to this place where a computer charged us 20,000 bolts for a transmission to this planet made of ice. " I'm not paying that, this galaxy blows," I said in anger.

" Wrench if you don't pay the money then we won't be able to stop Mr. Whatsahooset from having the Protopet destroy the Megacorp factory," Klink said encouraging me. We flew to the ice planet of Ragnar and managed to get to the Megacorp factory. We battled our way to the door where the Protopet was being held when Klink's little robot girlfriend came to tell us not to do it. Then almost in an instant Mr. Whatsahooset shot the little robot down and revealed himself as ... Captain Solo.

" Ok just what the heck is going on?" I asked completely peeved off. Then Solo hit a switch on this remote and it turned the Protopet into a huge violet creature. We had defeated the ugly gigantic Protopet when I had heard a noise come from a supply closet.  I opened the door and found the real Mr. Whatsahooset and he took one look at the remote and knew that the batteries were in backwards.

Then we had forgotten Solo and we saw him sitting on Klink. (Muffled) "Get off of me Lardo I am not a chair. Once we had finally gotten him off of Klink we got back to our ship and went to our condo in Metropolis.

                                                                          Epilogue
We finished off the Protopet and our adventure was about to make an " EXCITING" turn.

Sometimes, People are Cruel

It happens every day, people kill themselves, kill others, put their lives at risk, and all because of bulling.

Sometimes they pick on you and it just won't stop. Sometimes you pick on them and the bullies become the bullied. Sometimes the wind bullies the land. And afterwards we end up hurting someone.

Sometimes, people are cruel.

When it is, we all do the same thing. We either put ourselves down or we put others down. We weep and mourn, we recover, and then it all happens again. This is a price of being bullied.

Sometimes, people are cruel, and you have a choice keep being bullied or to speak up. When it is your turn to make your move, you do.

But what if you always bully people?

Surly some victims, beaten down can be helped for thinking it's always there turn, just days after the worst victims saw their dreams smashed by the strongest swirly they have ever known, which felt like a 7.0 on the Richter scale. Surly, the rest of us watching the action, from afar experiencing the horror and intensity from the comfort of our chairs and bleachers, are pushed to watch this thing.

What's worse, this kid is super smart. Bad enough his history of bullies insecurities and low self-esteem, of being tortured by the bullies when he is being exploited by them. Bad enough all that, yet at the end of the day, he felt so much pain, torture, grief, and insults by the bullies.

Sometimes, though, if the people themselves are not conspiring against the smart kids in the world.

After April 20, 1999 when there was a school shooting that killed 12 school kids and 1 teacher, On September 11, 2001 there was a terrorist attack that attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, on september 21, 2011 a 14 yr old kid also killed himself because he was bullied so much at school, what we were doing to Iraq in the war was bad because we killed some innocent people.

Sometimes, people are cruel. To get hurt by so many people, scanning out for people getting beat up in Ohio, charting shootings in Florida, running from bullies in California, is to understand this in the view of the bullied people. It is to breath a prayer that begins, " There, by the grace of the lord..." It is to write doctors notes, hall passes, volunteer time to protect, even in the doing, these things are small compared to the need, inconsequential against the torment of the people whose turn is endless.

But what else can you as a person do? As the bullied people put it, " life is to short when you are getting bullied." Even less we have the ability to stop these tormentors that burn us in the heat of the moment: Why are the most vulnerable repeatedly picked on the most?

We are unable due to our own limitations, so we can only do what we can do, only send help and tell others. And watch, drawn by the courage it takes, as we do what the people we bully always do, the thing which they have done for a long time.

Just watch and never react. Put ourselves down or put others down. Weep or mourn. Recover from our pain. Go on. And show the world once again that we don't have to be bullied, despite all the bullies of this Earth.

Wrench and Klink

I was working on my star ship on my home planet of Yavin when all of a sudden I here a loud (boom) in the distance. I go to check it out and I see this little robot that is not any bigger than a pencil. "Do you need any help sir?"

"No I almost have it I am just missing one small piece." Then Klink examined the star ship and he said the exact piece I was missing which was a robotic ignition system. We blasted off and the flames from my ship followed me like the sparklies trailing off of a my little pony. "Woo hoo so that is where I have been all of this time, ok now we are looking for captain Solo which is on planet Novalis.

When we were on planet Novalis we saw that a huge battle had already commenced but we did manage to find a plumber who gave us an infobot who gave us a transmission for where the top racer Sheldon Marx is stranded on a planet. We also found this old man who used to work for the evil Chairmen Palatine of the blarg race, and the old man gave us a transmission to a planet which actually captain Solo talking about his friend and his training course.

Since we were looking for captain Solo first we flew there passed his training course and got his grappling hook. On that planet we also found another transmission which had this robot general on planet Euroda where his goal was to chop down all the trees and get all other resources for chairmen Palatine. Once we got to planet Euroda after visiting planet Jupiter where we freed Sheldon Marx and found his agent we located the robot and defeated him. The robot gave us a transmission to planet Venus where we would find Captain Solo.

"We finally get to meet Captain Solo, this is so impressive, he can help us defeat Chairmen Palpatine." Kilink said. 

"Hello gentlemen, would you guys like to help me defeat a giant rancor?" Which is a ginormous green monster with tremendous power. Solo asked.

"Yes sir." Klink said without my consent.

"Perfect just meet me at my headquarters." Solo said.

We got to Solo's headquarters and defeated it so we could see the captain clearly. "Hello boys, step into the ring of fire, I mean hero's so you can start helping me out."

"Did he say fire?" I asked.

"No this is it Wrench we have reached our goal so let's go." Klink said.

(beep the remote said) "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I said falling down.

"Goodbye Captain Wrench." Solo said

"Get off of me you idiot" I said to Klink as my head started filling with rage. Klink and I found an infobot as we got in our ship and it showed us the planet of Pokitaru where it showed us the exact place to get the O2 mask so we could get on to Palpatine's base We saved the planet of Pokitaru from Palpatine's ships dumping waste into the water's and now have the O2 mask.

We flew to Palpatine's base and we saw that his flagship had just left the base with the deplanetizer which can blow up a whole planet. We did however find Solo we shot his plane down and found a new ship so we can now catch up to Palpatine. "Look there he is Klink, Chairmen Palpatine." I said excitedly. We rushed over to see him and his smug look on his face. 

"You bumbling idiots you have came all of this way to save your planet and now you are going to see it blow up in your face literally. So poetic isn't it?" We fought Palpatine in two stages while I was on Giant Klink and while I was running after the poor little man. I got off of Giant Klink because Palpatine had shrunk him down to normal size after we hurt him enough. While I was on land we go onto the deplanitizer and fought on it. "You poor saps don't have a clue, once I hit this switch a timer will commence and all you have worked for will be for not," Chairmen Palpatine said with a look of sheer satisfaction.

"Come on Klink we have got to stop that timer," I said confidently

(Timer) "Your planet will blow up in 5 minutes. Klink and I stopped the timer with 4 minutes and 45 seconds left then we had to fight Palpatine. Once he hit the timer again it took us little bit longer because we had to escape him and we now had only 2 minutes left. We had hit him some more and then once we had defeated Palpatine and we blew him to his new planet, we had totally forgot the timer. (Timer) "Your dreams will be crushed in 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.

"Klink we really need to stop the timer," I said in a panicked tone

"I can't the servos in my arm appear to be broken."

"Fine then I will do it myself."

(Timer) " 3, 2, 1. Commencing shut down process, have a nice day." After that Klink and I were hanging off of the edge of the deplanetizer and we fell but we did survive.

"Hey tin can let me fix that arm," I told Klink. I fixed his arm and little did we know we were about to go on another journey but that is for another time.

What I Think of the Three Stooges Movie

The movie was top notch in humor unless you don't like slapstick humor then it won't be awesome. You have Larry and Curly the brainless ones, then you have Moe who is the leader of the group, and when you mix them together you get trouble in funny ways. The main point of the story is three knuckle heads live at an orphanage that is getting shut down due to all the expenses that the orphanage is down by.

My favorite scene was when Larry, Moe, and Curly were up fixing a bell on the orphanage that they live in. It was so funny because Larry took a coffee break and Curly said "hey are those doughnuts, I want one."

"Sure Larry said." Then Moe got up and took doughnuts and shoved them into Curly's ears.

"Get back to work you knuckle head" Moe said.

"I think you got doughnuts in my ears Moe." Larry got up and tried helping Curly by looking for a doughnut remover. He saw a sign that said DO NOT REMOVE and read it as DOUGHNUT REMOVER. They then removed the pin or "doughnut remover"to the bell which afterward fell and hit the nun that worked at the orphanage on the head. Then silence.

In my mind this troublesome trio are not the brightest bulbs on the tree.

I give this movie 5 stars just due to how stupid but funny it is. The director did an amazing job at picking the cast because these three are just the way I imagined they would look like. Eventually though they don't get the money to save the orphanage but they do get something better. Want to know what it is? I guess you will have to see the movie to find out.

Warning:  This movie may cause severe laughter.

What I think about Rx (so far)

This is such a cool book so far. You have this girl that is part if a really smart group of kids but is also now doing drugs so she can become smarter. Thyme Gilcrest the main character in the book stole this drug called Ritalin from her friend Will and now the Ritalin is helping her become a better student.

I think she is taking the drug either because she grew up with her parents doing drugs or she is doing it so she can become more popular. Ever since Thyme has been taking the Ritalin she has done better in worldciv so I think it could be making her smarter the more she takes. She could also be taking the drug because she was doing bad in the math timed quizzes so she could be taking it so she could be doing it so she can feel like she is getting smarter.

Thyme went to this party with the 20 which is made of the smartest kids in school. Of course though Thyme took the ritilan so she could fit in which I think is ridiculous.

Hunger Games Movie review

I saw the Hunger Games movie yesterday and let me just say, BLEW MY MIND. In my mind out of 5 stars I would give it a 4 and a half. I say that because it followed the book very well but it just left out some minor details. 
This movie is so full of action and if you don't like seeing people get their neck snapped or hit by fireballs, then don't watch it, but if you do then this is the movie for you. The cast was so good that whenever you looked at them after you have read the book, then you can picture them, and they look perfect. The directing was also amazing because when someone got stung you can see the hallucinations that they were having like blurry vision.
I loved the part where the giant dog jumped out and attacked Katniss and Peeta. My really only dislike is the fact of where Katniss got the mockingjay pin.
The part that made me cry was when Rue got hit with a spear and Katniss could not help her and Rue died. All and all though the movie was fantastic and I would recommend it to anybody.

What happened (fiction)

I remember when we were together,
sitting on your couch, playing games, and talking
then everything changed,
and you dump me on my birthday.

You said that we were just growing apart,
and frankly I agree with you.
Due to you always making fun of my friends,
taking my money for gas,
get your own gas you lazy moocher.

I am glad to shop at target,
and glad to have good friends/

You know though I am happy that we're over,
well happy in a crying sort of way,
crying wishing you would just get out of my life sort of way but it's ok.

Now I see where you were going with the fact we were growing apart,
and you know what?
Thank God.

You were the most whiny blah I have ever met
by just throwing a fit like a Tasmanian devil when you didn't get your way,
and you know something else?
Your wardrobe costs more than my car.

Now you are going around telling everyone that you dumped me
I guess that makes you an empowered individual
Wait did I say empowered individual
I meant you are a human genie.

I just have 1 last thing to say to you and that is,
I hope you made the right choice,
because we are through forever.

Virtual Space III: The End

                                                                        Prologue
     Triumphantly,we vanquished the uruk-hai and Saruman the white's rein of terror is over.

     We are now in Osgiliath where we have met up with Faramir son of Denethor, and leader of the dunedain rangers.  "Heeeeelllllppppp!"A man said as he was about to face the orc leader Gothmog. Quickly, we started charging at him and luckily, I managed to save the man from getting chopped into sushi. Gothmog fought valiantly, but we just managed to make him have to retreat, but I fear this is not the last we will see of him.

     "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Brittney said as she was grabbed by a nazgul, which is a dragon like beast made by the sinistor Sauron.

     "I have to go and save her." I said just watching her disappear behind a biuilding. 

     "No it is to risky, if you die it will just leave the four of us to go and fight the Eye of Sauron." Elegost said as he grabbed my arm.

     "Ok, but we must go looking for her." I said trying to prove my point.

     "We will, but for now we need to wait on that because we have our own problems to deal with"
Hadhod said as a nazgul started coming near us. We killed the nazgul due to Elegost shooting a paralyzing arrow in its heart. 


     "Brittney!" I said as I saw her just standing up looking around.
 

     "Avery, you shouldn't be here, the Witch King of Angmar is here looking to kill everyone in his path." Brittney said as the Witch King was flying around the little island.

     (voice echos) "Who dares come to my island." The Witch King said. The Witch King, Brittney, and I started fighting. Then suddenly, I saw a blade from Angmar and then it all started coming back to me now. I had been here before, I had been hurt from this blade, I fled, and that lead to my banishment. I grabbed my dagger, a 10 inch ballistic style blade, and stabbed myself to get rid of the wound I had in my body that made me so afraid of him.

     "I am no longer afraid of you and your powers of intimedation do not work on me you worthless pile of slag." I said valiantly. We had a fierce battle Brittney had to use her powers of magic to keep us alive, because we kept trying to kill the Witch King and his nazgul. We finished the battle very much so victorious and the Witch King conviently enough is going to Minas Tirirh just like us. "I owe you my gratitude Brittney, without your guidence I would have never been able to get this far." I said to her as we were about to enter Minas Tirith.

     "I know this but your destiny lies not with me but with another." Brittney said.

     "Gondor is Mine!" Lord Denathor leader of Gondor said to Gandalf.

     "No your rein of rule is over here, the heir Aragorn will take over Gondor now." Gandalf said as a response to Denathor's comment.

     "There was a terrible battle about to happen to Minas Tirith, there are well over 2000 orcs out there at our front door." I told Gandalf.

     "I know, wait I sense that Denathor is about to make a terrible mistake, I must go to his chamber quickly." Gandalf said in a rushed tone. I went with Gandalf to see what was about to happen and I saw Denathor with fire about to burn his own son Faramir.

     "No!" I said as I tackled Denathor into the fire and saved his own son. After Denathor caught on fire he jumped off of the cliff of the Minas Tirith wall and Gandalf was named temperary ruler of Gondor. The orcs we faced were capitained by none other than Gothmog and the Witch King himself. We faced the Witch King once more with Gandalf and he defeated the Witch King really well.

     After the battle we now were just outside of Gondor and in the badlands where there are, harridrum, mumikill, and more orcs. We were just walking around Me, Brittney, Elegost, Hadhod, Morwen, and Eaoden. As we were walking we, saw, the, WITCH KING. "Why, why him, why can't we just bypass him?" 


     (Echoed voice) "You left Osgiliath without your body in a body bag, now you won't be so lucky." The Witch King said.


     "Not this time." Eaoden said.


     "Fool you seem to forget that no man can defeat me, but you are welcome to give it your best shot." Said the Witch King. We had a marvelous battle, but what the Witch King didn't know is that we have a shield maiden named Eowyn. 

     "No, No, you can't defeat me, no man has ever defeated me." The Witch King said as Eowyn beat him into dust.

     "I am no man, I am a women." Eowyn said in triumph

     "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." The Witch King said. Now there was only ONE challenge left, the EYE OF SAURON. 

     We got to the platform that the eye is one and now we see who is stronger, the level 150 boss or me at level 99, Brittney at level 99, Hadhod at level 90, Elegost at level 95, Morwen at level 89, and Eaoden at level 96. The eye was so big, it was on a tower that was as high as the clouds. I think I even saw some of the Greek gods. It was so hard to fight the Eye of Sauron he kept using fear so then none of the people could attack. The thing that sucked is that he made Brittney afraid of him and she could not heal any one else. We ended up just beating him due to Eaoden draining the last of his health and him just staying alive. Then it was my turn everyone fainted, me the last hope with one life left. I used the attack guardian strike which is my strongest and most accurate attack and it hit. Then I noticed that I had saved the world. Boo Yaa!

Virtual Space II

                                                                 Prologue  
     What I last recall happened ever since I started this journey was Gandalf getting pulled down by the Balrog of Morgoth and then he Vanquished.

                                                                  Story  

     Now my group of Brittney Johnson, the elf, myself Ryan Williams, the warrior, Hadhod, the dwarf, and Elegost, the ranger of the Dunedain. We have just gotten out of Moria and are now in the East Emmett Gullies just outside of Rohan.
   As soon as we got into the Gullies we were attacked by some uruk-hai which are some of the nastiest creatures in all of Middle Earth. We were then found by Alder an elf of Lothlorien who said. "I will assist you in finding your way out of the Gullies if you help me find the rest of my caravan. We went a good distance until we reached the uruk-hai camp where we had found Gandalf whose robes had changed from gray to white which meant he was now a superior wizard.
   "Look we have found the uruk-hai camp where they have trapped a Rohan warrior and are eating his steed." I said as the group and I started charging the camp. There were so many of them luckily Brittney, Hadhod, Elegost, Alder, and I fought valiantly and we ended up saving the solider and defeated the uruk-hai. 
   After we saved the fallen solider we then noticed that we were in the outskirts of Rohan, home of the horse lords. "Look a warrior is in trouble we must help her." Brittney said right as we had just entered the a village that was burning to the ground. After that nasty battle with some well trained uruk-hai, we were talking to the warrior and she told us her name was Morwen. She said that she was one of the few left in this town that had not died, or fled.
   "What is it that makes you strong warrior?" Elegost asked her as we were about to enter on of Saruman the whites warg caves. 
   "Honor, valor, and a few trinkets." Morwen said. We headed into the warg cave. The warg is a nasty half wolf/dog creature that is so relentless. As we were about to exit the warg cave a huge mama warg came out and bit me and then I was paralyzed. Once I woke up I saw the mother warg with an arrow in it showing it was killed. Elegost and Hadhod picked me up and carried me a little ways until we saw Sharku leader of the warg pack. 
     We finished off Sharku and then we found a former Rohan guard named Eaoden and he said that he will accompany us on our quest. We entered into the city of Edoras which is the capital of Rohan and we came here to save Theoden King from Saruman's servant Grima Wormtounge. 
     "Look my King they have come here to overthrow you." Grima said slyly. 
     "No Grima you are a filthy worm and we are here to get you out of Rohan for good." Brittney said in the most harsh tone I had ever heard her. We battled Grima and his little uruk-hai minions because he knew he could not take us on himself.
     "Look the worm lives and he is escaping." Morwen said as Grima bolted out of the hall.
     "Leave him his hold over this land is broken." Hadhod said.
     We finally arrived at our destination in Helm's Deep and we saw all the women and children in the cellars while all the men were ready to help in the fight. "Who are you?" The temple guard asked a band of elves right in front of the gate.
     "Rohan helped us in our time of need now we are ready to do our part." Alder the leader of the elves said. I went in search of Legolas, the skilled archer, Gimli, the dwarf with a temper, and Aragorn the heir to the throne of Gondor, because they will help us in this time of need. All of them were skeptical about the plan and they said that no one will make it out alive and that there will be no hope for us.
     Now at night fall it was pouring rain and the uruk-hai were charging at us. The group and I went down to help Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli and while we were fighting with them it was not so hard but then we had to fight alone. Suddenly, I felt this pain in my body like something had happened to me when nothing did and the I said "I fear no one, I will fight."
     After the huge battle I found out from Brittney that the pain/stupidity I had was due to the control of Saruman. I then heard from her that at the end of the carnage his hold over me was broken.


                                                                 Epilogue
     We will go to Minas Tirath home of Gondor, fight a fell beast and face the boss.

My showcase assignment

   My top three posts, are The Split and Then the Glue, Anakin the Sports Star, and Virtual Space. I like the Split and Then the Glue because it tells a story about something that happened in my life that was tragic. I also like Anakin the Sports star because it just shows this college man who has to choose between sports or the love of his life. The reason why I loved Virtual Space is because it tells a story like the Lord of the Rings and it is about this person being in a video game.
   My post that shows a great deal of creativity, is My Perfect World. It shows a lot of creativity because it states what the world I would love to have if I could choose every factor.
   The posts that show my growth, as a writer, are  Anakin the Sports Star, and Virtual Space again. The reason being is because when I finished writing Anakin the Sports Star I had so much dialogue by so many different people that I did not put a paragraph  in between each change in the person talking. While in Virtual space I fixed that and after every change in the person talking I put a paragraph.
   The post that shows that I am a thinker, is Tell Tale Heart Project. I say that because in the story it is told from the guy that killed the old man and his point of view. In my story though I told it from the old man's perspective, which I had never done to a story, changing the perspective of it.

Virtual space

   "Whoa where am I?" I thought as I was in a random space not knowing where I am. (Boom). "What was that?" I asked. Then I thought back to the first thing I remembered when everything made sense. I was at home telling my family about my day today, told them I had a new job offering, and then I remember nothing from that.
 
   "Get down man, do you want your head blown off?"

   (thud) "Who are you?" I asked the foggy figure.

   "I am Brittney Johnson and I am an elf from this land. Now that we have cleared that up who, or what are you?"

   "I am Ryan Williams and I am a human from Earth."

   "It is a pleasure to meet you Ryan Williams,"she said. "Just as I hope you have suspected we are in a video game with almost no way out of here unless you can beat the boss and get to where you are at level 99 which has never been done."

   "That does not seem hard," I said confidently.

   "Oh yeah I forgot two things."

   "What is that?" Then she said two things that made this game nearly impossible, the boss Sauron is at level 150 and that you have to reach level 99 in only 10 lives, oh joy to the world.

   "I have an idea," I said, "how about if we team up and face him together and both reach lvl. 99 together, how does that sound?"

   "Like a great idea," I said.
 
   Then I started surveying the plain and then saw three goblins that were at lvl. 5 while I was at lvl.1, does this sound as bad of an idea to you as it does to me? "What do I do?" I asked Brittney.

   "You're a warrior so you have like a sword or a dagger or something."

   "Hello lovelies," I said to the goblins as they were charging at me like wild beasts. (Shing) I pulled out the sword from its scabbard and sliced the three enemies in half. (Beep, beep, beep) The game said showing as I had leveled up three times to lvl. 4. "Whoa! What just happened?" I said as I suddenly felt stronger, faster, and more aware of what happened.

   "Do you know what just happened Ryan?" Brittney asked.

   "No what is that?" I said confused not understanding why she was so excited.

   "You just leveled up after your first battle not many do that most normally get wasted on there first battle, say let me see that sword you have there." I was confused at first but then handed her the sword and she just looked at it. "Ryan," Brittney said like she was astonished.

   "Yes what is it?"

   "This sword is made of the finest steel in Lothlorian which has the finest sword makers in all the realm."

   After traveling around in this strange virtual planet I was at lvl.25 and Brittney was at lvl.29 due to her vanquishing a lvl.35 mountain troll with her special magic. Now her and I are traveling through Eastern Moria where we met a ranger named Elegost and a dwarf named Hadhod which are both at lvl.23. Moria is the home to the dwarf and he has just found out that his whole clan except for one other named Gimli were vanquished. In Moria there is this huge creature made of fire that will block us from exiting. Luckily we have had a wizard named Gandalf, ranger named Aragorn, and elf named Legolas, and a few hobbits leading us and by the time we get there we will meet with them and the creature.
 
   "There the gray wizard is in trouble," Brittney said as she saw the wizard about to fight the Balrog of Morgoth.  We traveled down the stairs that were about to cave in on themselves, then suddenly.(Boom, boom)

   "Look a drummer troll and a cave troll which are servants of the evil Sauron block our path," Elegost said.  After that battle I was at lvl. 30, Brittney was at lvl.30, Elegost was at lvl.28, and Hadhod was at lvl.28. Then we went to face the Balrog and he was so skilled at battle, he had defeated everyone in my group except Gandalf who was helping us. At the end we all heard Gandalf say

   "You shall not pass" as he broke the bridge killing the Balrog. (Whip) The Balrog snapped his whip grabbed Gandalf and then dragged him down where he ended up killing it for good.

Anakin the Sports Star

    Anakin Organa has had a great 4 years at the University of Connecticut. He is the starting first baseman for the Huskies and has hit 35 homeruns this year. He is also this huge basketball star and plays shooting guard for them and has lead both teams to the finals.
    Anakin is also very good at school, he has a 3.8 GPA and is the school’s valedictorian. He does so well in school to where he was the tutor of this girl named Juno. They ended up going out and both are about to graduate. Anakin just has one problem, he has to choose between playing basketball or playing baseball. Both sides have great reasons for him to join. With basketball he will most likely be chosen by the Miami Heat who have the first pick in the draft, also that is where Juno has gotten offered a job to be a teacher. With baseball though he would get paid a lot more money by the Boston Red Sox who have the first pick in the draft also. What is the poor sports star to do?
    He goes and talks to Juno and tells her the situation. She was mad at first because to her it wouldn’t have even been an option, but then after thirty minutes of arguing she saw why it was a choice. Anakin then said “ you are the most sensible person I know and I also believe that you will make the right decision.” “Well no matter how much I want to go to Miami I think it would be better for both of us if we go up to Massachusetts so that way we can be together and you can live your dream of being the best baseball player ever" Juno said. “Ok I will go get ready to go graduate tomorrow and then we can move up to Boston.

     It is the day of the MLB draft and they are getting ready to announce the first pick. “The first pick in the 2012 MLB draft chosen by the Boston Red Sox is... Luke Johnson 3rd baseman of the University of Connecticut  Huskies” said the announcer. “What my roommate, best friend, and teammate got picked before Me what is this?” I asked. "The second pick pf the 2012 draft picked by the New York Yankees is... Anakin Organa.” “Yes I said in my mind now I get to face my new rival.” But then I realized a terrible thing, Juno is going to Boston and I am going to New York, oh this is a disaster.
     “Juno I have bad news” I said. “What is it?” Juno said now looking  very sad. “I got picked by the Yankees and I have to go to New York.” “So I guess this is goodbye then” Juno said now bawling her eyes out. “I guess it is. Goodbye my love.” I said exiting the room.

The Split and Then the Glue


    On January second two-thousand and twelve here is what I woke up to. “Hey bud, I have something to tell you” says my dad. “What” I said (half asleep). “I am moving out and I want you to know that it is not because of you or your siblings.”
    I woke up, grabbed a pillow off of my brown couch, and went outside saw the dark blue sky and screamed my head off, because that had never happened to me before. After that meltdown I went back inside and my mom said to my dad “did you tell him what happened?” “No I did not give the whole story” my father said. Then my mom said “you should tell him because he has a right to know". Dad told me that he was cheating on my mom and that he was going to move in with her, and after I heard that it felt like my eyes were carrying weights because I was about to cry. After all of that chaos my sister who had gone through the same thing told me that it is going to be ok and that it was going to get better.
    After my dad had left I asked my mom what we are going to do next. She said that we are going to have to move because she had two failed marriages in this house and that there was nothing tying her to this house anymore. "Where are we going to move to?" I asked. "Probably up in Boone, NC or in Columbia, South Carolina with my brother" said my mom.
    On the third of January I was so upset at what had happened that I had to stay home from school and just cry it all out. I had thought that it all was just a bad dream but I knew it was not because that day I saw that my dad was gone and all of his stuff was out of the house.
    Then on January fourth, came along and I went to school. People all day were making fun at me and making me mad and then I told them what I was going through and they helped me through the day. After I had gotten off of the bus I talked to my neighbor Eddie who had also gone through the same terrible situation a few years back. He told me that it will hurt for a while and that I will be mad at my dad but some day I will have to forgive him.
    Then as I was doing my homework my mom had woken up from her nap and asked my sister if she had told me the news. "No" I said very confused. Then my mom told me the best six words I had heard all week, mommy and daddy worked it out. After I had heard that I dragged a smile just so I could savor the moment. I asked three questions which were "how did you work it out?" "The next question was why did things change?" My final question was "this is not a joke right?" "No" my mom said because that would be a cruel trick to play on somebody. "Yeah that would" said my sister. Ok I thought I still get to see my dad often and I won't have to move.
