A Chance To Shine
.... to pick to fill up there team when we scrimmaged ourselves. I was the kid who had to pick it up or be cut from the team, something had to give.
My fourth year on the team was like the ending of an era. Our three best players on the team had informed the coach before the season started that next year they would be leaving the Strikers to go play in the premier league. I, having struggled all throughout my Striker career was shocked, but secretly contented because that meant that at the end of the season I would get my opportunity to become a factor in for the team. So that season I maintained my usual role of sub .....

My Changes Over The Years
.... for the worse. This got a lot better as time passed.
Ahh the present, the me as I am right now. Just recently I have gotten a massive dose of reality. I do not know how, or what from, or anything like that. I woke up one day and it all hit me. I realize now that a lot of stuff in my past was stupid and meaningless so I stopped it. Some of it is still left in my psyche though, but those parts are not really the bad ones. I am pretty sure I have always been a very head strong, independent person. I have never followed what someone else is doing without a good reason for it. Also, if I think something is wrong morally, or anythi .....

Father I Love You
.... one day about a week after we all found out he was terminally ill and explained to me what was going to happen. The next day I went to go see him at the hospital. The minute I saw him I started to cry he grabbed my hand and told me “stop crying it’s not that bad “ The family tried to convince him to get the treatment he needed to stay alive a while longer but he refused. He passed away a month later. One thing my father asked me was not to cry at his funeral. It was hard for me to follow his request but I did. My family could not understand why I was not crying and they were. They thought of me being insensitive and not .....

The Morning
.... It was not my typical morning dump, it was the never ending dump from hell. Every time I thought the nightmare was over, I found my self dropping more and more and more. It was already 7:30 and I had to leave by 8:15 in order to make it to my office by 9:00. This would only give me an hour to rehearse my presentation; but I was prepared. I still had forty-five minutes to get ready for work. Surely I was done destroying my toilet?!
I was ready to finish my usual triple "S" morning routine (shi#, shower, and shave); as I felt that my time spent on the first "S" was more than sufficient. I hopped into my steaming .....

Route 66
.... asks, “Then why is the car reported stolen?”. John refuses to acknowledge the officer. Sensing trouble the officer demands, “Turn off your engine, step out of the car and put your hands behind your head, NOW!”.
John shouts “No way pig!”. “I’m never going back to prison!”. Throwing the NSX into gear and hitting the accelerator he leaves the officer in a cloud of dust. With lightning speed the officer scrambles back to his patrol car, radios for backup and takes off after John.
It is soon evident to the officer that he is not able to keep up with, let alone over take John with his ill equipped Ford Taurus. Pushing his pitiful .....

My New Car
.... The car does so until I repress the alert button. I can also lock and unlock my vehicle plus open the trunk. My car has seatbelts to fit each passenger and for added safety, dual airbags.
When I put my car in gear it automatically locks all the doors. This feature is to protect children form opening the doors while the car is in motion. With all these safety features, I never feel discomfort or as if I’m unsafe.
Buying the Grand Am was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. With all the great features how could I go wrong? My car satisfies my needs, and I hope it lasts forever.

Just Trying To Help
.... Kaasa, happened to be in my phy-ed class during the first semester of my sophomore year. The problem was that Mike Hartman was also in the same class. Mike was kind of known to the people in our grade as “Mr. Racism”. He was always quick to come up with a “nigger joke”, or to tell everyone how much better he was than the entire black community. This really ticked me off, and Mike knew it. Ever since the day that I made damn sure Mike wasn’t ever going to run off his mouth in front of me, he thought hard about what he was going to say when I was within earshot. Mike never would say anything directly to Kaasa, but he made it c .....

The Orange Colored Sphere
.... is also interesting. When I first pick up the orange it is cool to the touch. The slightest squeeze will dent the surface, only to just spring right back into shape. I can feel those dime shaped dents easier than I can see them. The surface is also very slick.
My curiosity gets the best of me and now it is time to cut the orange sphere into two halves. As I slice the orange I smell the fresh scent of citrus. As I expected the inside was also orange. The outer edge of the orange starts out colored like the skin but it fades into a creamier shade of orange. Now is where it really gets strange. It looks as though the in .....

The Time Of Christmas
.... I talked to my boyfriend everyday for awhile. A feeling of distance seemed to come between my parents and I. After the initial 'how are you' and the weather conditions at each location there just wasn't much to say. Instead of independent I was beginning to feel detached.
When my parents asked what I wanted for Christmas I went blank. I felt blank. Christmas was all around me lit up in neon Santas, reindeer and palm trees covered in lights, but I had no emotional thoughts about it. Something was missing or maybe I was coming down with a cold; I just couldn't figure it out.
On Christmas Eve my boyfriend had to visit .....

Jobs Are Not For Me
.... and being told that I wasn’t bagging the groceries properly. The strange part was that when my boss would tell me these things he would always take me to isle seven to yell and scream at me. Why couldn’t he take me into his office where it would be private? Instead he would make a big scene in front of all the old women shopping for those lovely canned foods and completely embarrass me. I never understood that. There was another reason why I knew my boss wasn’t the brightest candle on the cake. I always had to remind him that I only worked on Mondays and Wednesdays, but he could never grasp the concept. For some reason he w .....

My Personal Belief
.... that everyone continues their existence beyond this worldly life. I believe that there is a Heaven and a Hell, and everyone will go to one of the two when they die. I believe that if you choose to accept God as your savior then you will live a life of eternal happiness in Heaven. But if you choose to live a life of worldly sin and corruption, then you will spend eternity in burning Hell. I know that there has to be a life after death, because God has made a better place for me in Heaven after this life has passed.
My belief in Christianity helps me to make it through each day, whether they are good or bad, because I know .....
