I have decided, through careful elimination, that i will blog about roller coasters this week. with no help from anyone, this is what i came up with. enjoy.
ally, lyndz, brit, and i are going to king's island this saturday, and in prepartion i thought that it would be best if we learned a little about rollercoaster safety.
after reading this article i realized that people are 100% stupid. take for example this quote, taken directly from the article. " Also, on August 16, 1981 a twenty year old man died from falling off the Rolling Thunder, in Six Flags, not reading the warning sign stating, “Fasten Your Seatbelts.”
Hmmm...if you are on a roller coaster and there are seatbelts on the ride then it probably means you should buckle them! God, people are retarded. i have basically can to the conclusion that if you get killed on a rollercoaster, then you probably did not deserve to live anyway. (haha...watch me die this weekend).
it just seems so dumb to me that people go to amusement parks (which, by the way, are full of rollercoaster) and expect to return home safely, but they do not want to fasten their seatbelt on a ride that travels a billion mph and has 34234 loops. yes...if you do not fasten your seatbelt, then you can expect to be decapitated.
i understand that accidents happen, but there are some ^ of which are avoidable. personally, i like the thrill of a good coaster ever now and again. if you do not like taking that sort of chance then do not ride one...i does not matter to me. but do not try to get amusement parks regulated to the point of taking that thrill away from those who do not care to take the risk. that is like telling a person that they cannot go ski diving if they are perfectly able to go ski diving.
my opinions on matters hold no significance, and i expect that everyone who reads this is going to think that i am stupid for blogging about an issue as ridiculous as this, but as i said before, i needed help to find something to blog about, and when that help did not come through for me i resorted to articles about roller coasters.
that is all...

article....what does this make? 4? wow.
well i have recently given serious thought to writing my own article somewhere, calling in anonymous, then blogging about the article that i anonymously wrote. i sounded good at the time. however, i am sure that brandi would not appreciate the articles that i write to blog about.
since the current subject of "ghosts" has been a hit amongst some of us...let us find an article about just that.

ghosts are real, i do not care what anyone says, and you cannot convince me other wise. just ask brandi. she currently has one living in her attic. this article was interesting enough. after reading it i am pretty sure that i do not have a ghost in my house. sometimes my cat watches things that are not there, but when i see her doing this i get nervous and usually poke at her so that she will stop. other then that, nothing strange really takes place at my home. my aunt's house is haunted. this is true. two of my cousins have been woken up by their bed shaking furiously, and my aunt has heard footsteps from upstairs when there was nobody there. when i asked my dad (who lived in my aunts house growing up) about this, he said that when they were younger they heard footsteps coming up the stairs every night. being the brave little lad that he was, he would always run to try to see who or what was creeping up the stairs so late at night, but no one was ever there. ever. strange, i know. i do not like to go upstairs. who haunts the house? i could not tell you. i know that i did not answer all the questions that we are supposed to about our articles, but i feel that this is good enough. i am going now.

article # 3

so...for starters, my article this week is about childhood obesity. i understand that this appeals mainly to parents and such, since it's their children and they are responsible and all, but this is one topic that really makes me angry. that is basically why i decided on the article. i enjoy writing about things that make me upset. childhood obesity is not exactly a "new' topic, as most of you are aware, but it is a problem that has been increasing rapidly over the past decade. everything that is in the article is basically common sense and things that we all probably already know, but it is still amazing to look at the reasons and the growth for and of childhood obesity. i am not trying to hurt anybody's feeling with this article. i just think that it is ridiculous the weight gain that is happening in this upcoming generation of children. i do not know how often anyone reading this gets out into the world, but there are some pretty hefty youngsters these days, and it is absolutely disguisting. i do not aprove of it one bit. yeah, take your kids to mcdonalds for a treat every now and then, whatever. but not every freaking day. for God's sake, people think that the only cheap food is fast food and that is not true. if everyone was a little less lazy, they would realize that you can buy plenty of healthier food for cheap. that should not matter anyway. would you rather pay a little more and have a healthy child, or pay a little less and have a child that has a billion health problems and needs to be ran to the emergency room every five seconds? i think the better choice is obvious.
