Christmas Traditions

With the holidays in full swing, now is a time for tradition more than ever. In my family, on Christmas Eve we go to the Christmas eve church service and come home to watch "it's a wonderful life" or "the polar express" and leave milk and cookies for Santa. (or vice versa if we are going to the midnight service.) Another Tradition is we always hang up my dad's handmade ornament from 1981 side by side with my brother's handmade ornament from 2010. What are you holiday traditions? Comment!

Basketball Equipment

The Season is in Full-swing at my school. Our First game is Next Thursday and everyone is super-psyched! I pretty much ready, But there is still a few things I need to get. I have my shoes, two pairs of tall black socks for games and sports socks for practices, black tees to wear under my black jersey, A couple pairs of sweapants, and a gray Nike sweatband. All I need is:

-Basketball Shorts

-Maybe another pair of Sweatpants

-Nike Air Jordan Sandals (black and pink, or black and gold if they make them)

-A Gold Shirt to wear under my Gold Jersey (I have one but I need a new one)

Is there anything you still need to get for your winter sports? Basketball? Wrestling?

13 year old voting opinions

Some say Obama and some say Mitt. And some crabbily say "IT Doesn't matter your 12!" But the thing is, it DOES matter. If you are 12 in 6 years YOU will be voting. Don't you want to be well informed now and learn from their mistakes? Maybe I'm just saying this because I'm well-informed, or maybe because I want to be president someday. But really, shouldn't everyone pay a little bit more attention? Now, If you don't really care or you are telling everyone else "You're 12 Who cares?" then no, you should not have a opinion. If somebody asks you and you say, "I don't really care but probably mitt", you are giving a view when you know nothing about the election or either candidate. You are just picking because a friend said it, or you parents say it. Don't! Look unbiasedly at both candidates and then decide. Don't say "Obama hasn't done anything in the past 4 years" (showing you know nothing, because even republicans will admit he killed Osama Bin Laden and Ended the war in Iran) so don't give your view if you don't care. If you do care, Good! I do to! but make sure you are saying that for YOU not for you parents, friends, or anyone else.

Basketball quotes/poems

Behind all those hours of practice
and those who pushed you
there is a little girl...
who shot the ball
and fell in love with the game
and never looked back
play for her.


Basketball is my game
no pain no gain
basketball is my sport
we play it on the court
basketball is my victory
and it will live of for eternity

To you it might me a game
but to me it is a way of life
eat
sleep
breathe
basketball


life is like a game of basketball.
You can score a lot,
you could lose easily,
and you can quit.
you have to make the decision.

Set you sights high, the higher the better
expect the most wonderful things to happen
not in the future
but right now
-dwayne wade

Michael Jordan Quotes

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. 

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships

Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win. 

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come

There is no "i" in team but there is in win. 

These are some of my favorite quotes!!

Best Friends

I have tons of best friends. I'm almost always going to a friends house or having a friend stay over every weekend. But when someone asks me who my best friend is? That I can't answer. See, there's these two girls i've know since kindergarten who are BEST FRIENDS. I always kinda felt like the odd one out til middle school. Thats when I met my best friend. But lately my best friend has been claiming another her best friend. Not to say that she is abandoning me. No, not at all we have almost every class together, our lockers are next to each other, and we text 24/7. And her new best friend? she is the most sweetest girl I've ever met and we get along great. The other 2 girls in my close circle of friends have other friends too that they know really well. And where does that leave me?


It leaves me at home by myself over a long weekend night. Not that I'm mad or Jealous. It just leaves me wondering where I fit in to this big jigsaw puzzle called the universe. And where I'll finally meet my just-alike-but-we-have-our-differences, for-real, true-blue, Forever-and-ever Best Friend.

                                                             Sorry to leave, but i had to go,
                                                                       Bailey :]

Things to do someday

1. wear a t-shirt that says "Life". Hand out lemons on a street corner.
2.Buy a horse. Name it "thunder takes the lead". Enter it in races.
3. Walk up to a random person and introduce yourself. Shake their hand and say "Hey, I, I just met you but I AM NOT CRAZY! It's just, well, here, here's my number, so call me, Maybe?"
4.Buy a parrot. Teach it to say "Help, I've been turned into a parrot!"
5.Go to Australia. Locate 42 Wallaby way, Sydney. If there is no such place, build it.
6.Ask people to start calling you Simon. Speak in 3rd person.
7. Get a walk in closet. Make the interior look like the snowy trees of Narnia...
8. Run into a store. Ask what year it is. When someone answers yell "It Worked!" and run out screaming.
9.Visit all of the contents except Antarctica (Too Cold!).
10. Dance Dares!

I want to do all of these!! I'll try to get some done in summer 2013!

Things to say when someone asks why your so quiet:

-My mother said if I don't have anything nice to say, I should't say it at all

-Because I hate you all
-I'm still deciding if I should like you or not
:D thats all the good ones I can think of right now! I'll get more up as soon as I think of one!
