Fall is my absolute favorite season, but I actually rather like winter as well. I would probably think differently if I moved up north, but I've said I should have been born in the North because I hate sticky hot humid days in the South. What about you? Do you like cold weather?
I despise cold weather; that's why I didn't apply to any Ivy League schools. I like the fall b/c the temperature is just right (and, of course, football season is in around that time).

I'm sitting here eating my breakfast at 7 AM and thinking it would be great if I got up this early every morning since I'm ready to leave for work. I typically run out of the house about 7:40 eating my breakfast and get to work a bit later than I should. Are you a morning person or not? What time do you get up? Are you on time to school?
I am NOT a morning person. By any means. I'm supposed to wake up at 6:15, but usually I sleep until about 6:40 so I come to school looking however b/c I'm in such a rush to be ready by 7:05. No time to pick out nice clothes, do anything fancy to my hair, nothing. But I'm never late for school though.

Well I couldn't really think of anything to write about so I went to MSN for some type of inspiration. The first thing I saw was an article about Michael Jackson. I absolutely adore Michael Jackson as a musician. I think he is one of the best musical talents in history. I mean, technically speaking, he is. He still holds the record of having the best selling album in the world, and this album was released almost three decades ago. Nobody has come CLOSE to competing with selling 100 million copies (the closest have been The Eagles with an astounding, yet paradoxically meager, 42 million). Michael has been a major pioneer of many modern genres of music, from rock to pop to R&B, and his influence even expounds to Broadway. When I logged on to MSN, the first thing I saw was that Thriller (whether the album or single, I'm not exactly sure) is coming to Broadway. That would be the most amazing thing; I'd pay any amount to see that performance, especially since Michael himself is supposed to have a hand in its production. I'm a HUGE Michael Jackson fan; his abilities as an artist, performer, and musician are extraordinary. How his image has been damaged behind the scandals doesn't affect my opinion of his music. It includes some of the most incredible pieces of work I've ever heard in my life, and believe me I listen to A LOT of different music, not just the typical R&B and Hip-Hop. By far, though, Michael Jackson is one of the best ever. Since I probably won't ever have the privilege of seeing him perform live, I hope this Broadway performance comes to Jacksonville so I can at least witness the reinactment first hand.

Besides the fact that people who eat breakfast are more productive throughout the day, this 2008 study on www.mrbreakfast.com reveals another aspect. Read the quote and then write a response on your blog.
A study from the University of Minnesota indicated that teens who skip breakfast are more likely to become obese than those who routinely eatbreakfast. Over the five-year span of the study, those who skipped breakfastwere on average five pounds heavier than their breakfast-eating peers.
I don't like statistics b/c they aren't really practical representations b/c only a select number of people are surveyed. But I can believe this one, however, because if I skip breakfast, I tend to eat alot more during the day and later into the night.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth. ~Erma Bombeck
What does this quote mean? Do you think it applies to your parents? Does it apply to any of your friends' parents?
It means that these are the people most likely to take a risk in your vehicle. Yes, it applies to my parents, but not most of my friends' because they aren't really reckless drivers.

Read the article below and then analyze the situation in a one paragraph response. State your opinion on the game.
I understand that this is a Christian school, but this isn't rec league basketball. The girls are out there to do a job, and if a team gets humiliated by a score (and has been winless for the past four seasons by the way), then they should do better at their job. I don't think it's a big deal anyway. You get out there on the court with an understanding that someone has to lose. Point blank. If anyone should have forfeited it should have been the other team, at halftime. I mean, if that team would have tried to be nice about the situation and let the other team score, they could have possibly come back and beat them.

Read the article below. Then, write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on the article. Do you know of teens here in Coffee County that participate in this type activity?
I understand the need to send a message to other minors, but I feel like this is the wrong way to handle this situation. The pictures were sent voluntarily and willingly by the girls involved so I don't think there should be any charges filed against them, especially not the boys. I mean, you can't control what somebody sends you. But since there isn't any proof that this was done at school, and, as I said before, the girls willingly sent the pictures, then technically no rules have been broken so I think they should just leave this alone. And not to mention, having to sign up as sex offenders for the next 10 years b/c of what somebody sends you has to be absolutely humiliating.
&& no I don't know of anyone who does this, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean it's not happening.

What is the actual Inauguration? What other events surround the Inauguration? Have you ever been to an Inauguration or know someone that has? I've never been, but Ms. Quenzer typically takes a group of students. My cousin, John Spivey, went to the Bush's Inauguration with her a few years ago. I have been to Washington D.C. before though. If you ever get the chance, you definitely need to visit all the historical sites in DC at least once in your life!
An inauguration is the official swearing in of the upcoming president. There are all types of balls and galas and special events during this time. I've never been and don't plan too; it's wayyy too cold during that time.

Think about your eyes -- now! Did you know that smoking constricts blood vessels that supply oxygen to the eyes? What other habits or activities do you & others actively participate in that cause damage to your eyes?
Sitting too close to the television, opening you eyes in chlorine water, getting harful substances in your eye (i.e. soap, bleach)

What's your favorite TV show? What's so great about it?
House! It's really interesting, especially since I want to go into the medical field one day. I love the main character, Dr. House, b/c of his sarcasm and unethical practices; it makes the show entertaining. My favorite part is when they discover the diagnosis at the end of the show.
