Nick

Nick is my oldest brother. He is 26 years old, has very pretty model guy hair, he is tall, and has bug eyes. By bug eyes I mean really big glossy ones. Nick does not live in the same place as I do. He works on a boat, I would say three or four months out of the year. When he does come here for a short period of time, he visits me. I am usually in school when he is up here. They pull me out so I could talk to him for a couple of minuets. I do not have very many stories to tell about Nick, because he was not in my childhood, but He is on the T.V. show Deadliest Catch. He works very hard throughout the year, even when he is not on the boat, and I am proud to call him my brother.

Reach for the Stars

Reach for the Stars is a documentary about Christa Corrigan.  In the beginning her relatives and friends give us background information about Corrigan.  She was very interested in education. She strongly believed helping and motivating people to get a better education. Corrigan had a talent with connecting with all kids, mostly adolescents, so she became a teacher.

In 1985, Corrigan was selected to be the first teacher in space. She would be teaching lessons in space while being broadcasted on television. She did six months of physical and mental practices so she would be capable of being in space. Corrigan became famous, she was on talk shows, and she went to the super bowl before she went up to space. Corrigan was recognized all over the country as the teacher in space.

On January 28, 1986, the shuttle broke apart after launch.  Everyone was very sad that Corrigan and the people who where with her died. She was 37 when she was killed during the mission. Corrigan was gone too soon, but placed a huge mark on this world that would never be forgotten. After Corrigan’s death, schools and scholarships were named in her honor.

Michael

     I have a brother named Michael. He is 17 years old, has a tongue ring, has buzzed cut hair, and he looks like a guy in his early twenties. I think he acts like an old man at times. For example, he will be watching Dr. Phil, black slippers on, a cup of coffee, with is legs folded. Michael does not always act old. He likes to work out, tell stories with a lot of body movement, play the guitar, and randomly dance around just to make people laugh. He is one of those people that live just so they could make other people laugh. 

    Michael is very talented as well. He could fish on a boat for hours upon hours, and still has time to come home take a shower and spend time with my mom and I. Not only does he spend time with us, but he is like a super hero with all these social powers. He spends time with everyone. He has time for everyone. That is a huge talent in my opinion, having time for everyone. 

    Another thing Michael is most talented at is playing the guitar. I love Michael's guitar music. He does not write his own music, but when he plays a song by a famous person I feel like he puts his own personal touch to it. I remember Michael called my mom up (he's in a boarding school at the moment) and sung You Are My Sunshine  to her while playing the guitar. That made her the happiest person on the planet because when Michael was little she use to sing that to him.

    I love everything about my brother Michael. Talented and funny are definitely the main traits about him. He comes home on May 17th, which is my birthday. I just cannot wait to wake up to the smell of coffee and hearing Dr. Phil coming from the living room, along with some guitar music, and the sound of his black slippers dragging across the floor as he paces back and forth. I have a lot of great memories with him, and a lot more to make.

Basketball

      I do not play basketball but I watch it. I remember I was talking about Stephen Curry in class once and my teacher said, "What do you know about basketball? I don't see you in the gym everyday shooting hoops." Obviously this guy is completely clueless. I would not mind playing basketball at all. I do not play because I am not good at it, and I am not good at it because I do not play. I think if I put some effort into it I would be decent.

     When I watch any basketball game it is filled with excitement and rush. Especially the games that have overtime. I do not think that basketball is the most intense sport out there, but I definitely like it more than football, volleyball, soccer, etc. There is just something about a ball going through a hoop and making that swooshing sound that is very satisfying. Or when someone makes the game winning shot and the crowd goes wild that gives you chills. I think everything about basketball is perfect. Even when I am not watching it I am thinking about it. How a certain persons shot looks, how people could improve on different things, the body movement a player does when they either make or miss a shot, the way people pass the ball. It's almost like you could see it in slow motion through your mind over and over again.

   

Blogs

    I look at these blogs like professional Facebook statuses. I am horrible with making Facebook statuses, so you could figure that I am horrible with making these blogs. I mean, I haven't wrote something creative in a while. I have not wanted to write anything in a while either. Something to keep the wonderful people that actually want to read the stuff I write updated with is that my parents are are getting a divorce.

      

    Okay, so I imagine people reading this are either not going to care or are going to feel sorry for me. I honestly do not know what I am feeling. I guess there is a part of me that feels bad for the guy. I did live in the same house with him for seven years. Another part of me wants to celebrate. I had more bad memories with the guy than good. And I personally think that I only need one parent. 

    My mom is the coolest, chillest, sweetest person ever. She is like my best friend. I could literally tell her anything in the world. Which I think most Mother/Daughter relationships should be like. My mom is a very accepting straight up person. She is a great single parents. In fact, she is such a great parent that she could play the role of both parents. I personally think that my mom and I are doing just fine without a guy in the house. The only bad thing is figuring out who is going to kill the spiders.

 

Black Mamba

Obviously, Kobe Bryant is #24 on the LA Lakers. Bryant is beast! He is currently sitting out with an injury, but he will be coming back next season. Recently, Bryant sat on the benches with his team, and it was sort of a big deal because he has not done that since his surgery. I am sad that he is sitting out, but excited for next season to see him play again. We all love Kobe and he is always going to be the real MVP.

DJ Augustin

Darryl Gerard is apart of the NBA. He is #14 currently on OKC Thunder. I am blogging about this piece of gold because he has the most perfect hairline in the world. I am giving props at this very moment to his barber because this hairline could possibly save lives. Not to mention, he is an excellent basketball player with persistence and commitment.
