Senior Will

As a senior I will the ways of the ap stylebook to Sloat.
I will my debate skills to the incoming freshman debaters.
I will my chill attitude to Michael H.
I will my parking spot to my little brother and sister who will be joining him next year.
I will my crappy ol' beater laptop to my sister.

Leaving

I'm the most depressed about leaving my fellow paintballers. I'm going to have to find a new crew to play with on my island.

I'm also going to miss my Grandma who lives next door to me. Grandmas kick butt!
I guess I'll sort of miss my family... but I'm sure I will still talk to them plenty through texting or phone calls or e-mails.

But, I'm looking forward to Creighton. I've spent more time day dreaming about being there then feeling sad for leaving people behind.

What I want for Easter

I want a new paintball belt with two pods and a holder for my compressed air tank. I would also like a remote for my tank. And a new mask would be lovely! However, this all costs about $80. So i'll prlly be buying mostly all of it for my own Easter present to myself.

Natural Disaster

I would grab my diabetic lunchbox filled with diabetes supplies, snacks and water. I would grab my cell phone, itouch, laptop, blankey and my grandpa's golden watch. I suppose I would grab a flashlight, batteries and some matches.

Hurt Feelings =(

Theres only one thing worse than getting your feelings hurt, not having feelings. I think we should take a moment of silence for all the zombies without feelings.

Bang! Moment over as I shotgun blast a zombie's face off. Yesterday, I downloaded this game called Zombieville USA for my iTouch. In the game you are the only person left alive and you must kill zombies to survive. There are 10 different weapons to choose from for maximum zombie killing fun. Shred those mindless freaks into meatsauce with a chainsaw or blow them to pieces with a missile launcher. No matter how you play, this game is highly addicting and I recommend it to any one!

Ye Good Ole Days

Back in the day, Alec Richards and I were the most awesome kids at Linden Elementary. We started a business selling 25 cent toys. We'd knock the price up on the most common ones by a nickel or so. The rarest ones were sold for a whole dollar or more! We sold them throughout the Fourth and Fifth grade. Our teacher in fourth grade decided that she wanted to teach fifth grade so we were lucky and had her for two years in a row. During the course of the two years our business racked up around $50 or more. We used to keep the money in a safe in the clubhouse in Alec's backyard. We began admitting people to the club for a small fee. In the club we made comics, sold the 25 cent toys, gambled, and traded and sold pokemon cards. The money we made was kept in a small safe that only Alec and I knew the combonation to. On A Dark Rainy Night, when Alec's family was on vacation, a friend named Pierce and I broke into the clubhouse and took all the money. We placed it in a lightbulb box and buried it in my neighbor's backyard. To this day, we have not recovered the money.

I won a blacklight

The last Younglife of my life took place last thursday night. It is sad to watch a club die because of the current economic problems. (I sure hope Obama's magic job wand fixes the economy soon.) But back to the story: It was the last night of club ever. Younglife was a great club! I went to camp my freshman and sophomore years to Crooked Creek Camp in Colorado. Both trips were definitely the high-light of my freshman and sophomore years. I made sooo many friends from all over. I still talk to a lot of girls from out of state today on Facebook. =] Well the last club consisted of all the norms. We sang popular radio songs and gospel songs. Next, we had a lottery. Blake, the leader, was giving away about any thing he could find. I won a blacklight. =] Then, the gospel story. And after that we played elbow tag for the rest of the night. Goodbye Younglife :(

Self-Reflection

When I left middle school, I was dreading going to high school all summer. I even had nightmares about my first day there. As freshmen year progressed I became comfortable in the school and had a great year! Sophomore year started with me being able to drive myself to school. I felt grown-up and free at last! Sophomore year brought on an onslaught of new responsibilities and fun. When junior year started I was already starting to get bored of high school. My junior year in debate I joined forces with Cassie Sullivan and together we make a bomb team. Debate has been a driving source of my desire to come to school everyday. This year went by fast so far, but it is all going to slow down now. I should have put my easy classes at the beginning of the year, but nooooo.... I'm in AP Psych, Math Anal, and Spanish 5. Wow! I don't know why I challenged myself so much this late in the year when I have major senoritis. This is where I am right now in my high school career and hopefully I am able to finish strong!

WCG Blog

So I love Warcraft and I found a WCG blog, or World Cyber Games. The blog had video interviews of the players, replays of games, and strategy guides. I enjoyed actually seeing of the of the big names players in person and hearing what they had to say as well as the story of their young lives. The replays are pretty sweet. It kind of makes me want to quit my life and just play video games forever, but I think I'll keep my amount of gaming time on a casual level because I do enjoy doing other things besides gaming.

Abraham Lincoln! You came back! But without your hat...

President Obama has fancied himself to be a reincarnate of Abraham Lincoln. Everything from Obama coming from Illinois to riding on a train to being sworn into office using the same Bible to eating the same meal, Obama has tried to mimick Abraham Lincoln. While this is all very cute of President Obama, he is no Abraham Lincoln.

First of all, it seems that Obama forgot that Lincoln was a Republican. Beyond that major dissimilarity, Lincoln’s view of the government’s role, and Lincoln’s principles are completely opposite of Obama’s. Here are some Lincoln quotes that illustrate how different the two men really are:

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Obama is all about pulling down the house of another that worked hard to help those who don't work as hard. This quote kind of fits with the quote, "You can give a man a fish and it will feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." The second one should be stressed, but the first is what Obama is going for. This is also stressed in another of Lincoln's quotes, “You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” Obama's tax plans will basically lower the capital of the upper class who earned the capital as a fruit of their labor. The capital will then go do the lower and middle class who may have not earned the fruit of their labor.

“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” Obama believes activist Judges should rewrite the Constitution as they wish.

"Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.” Obama was against the War on Terror from the start. Lincoln would have called him a saboteur.

The nerdest Blog EVER

Spencer Wilson is known in the world of gaming as several different names. I am called Shadow_Darkness, Deathbyalters, Shelooked18, and Ice-Nine. I am a level 28 Bloodmage with a 77.8% win rate that is ranked 4th in the entire world! I have also been invited to the WCG or the World Cyber Games. Needless to say, I am an expert at Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

The game can be played in several modes: free for all, Solo, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. My partner Stephen, 18, from Michigan and I lead a 4v4 team that is ranked 4th in the world! There are four races that can be played: Orc, Human, Undead, and Night Elf. I play Undead, Stephen plays Human, and our other two players play the last races. To play the game you build basic workers who mine gold, chop wood, and build. You build barracks that train Heros and units. You can have up to 3 heros per game and as many units as possible, there's a 100 unit food limit. The objective of the game is to kill the opponents with your heros and units. The basic unit types are air, anti-air, magic, seige, and melee. These types all counter each other. For example, air counters melee. Which ever team does a better job of countering the other team's units will win. So basically warcraft is a big game of rock, paper, scissors, with strategic moves across the board to beat your opponent. This is the basic idea of warcraft, but there are many different combonations of units and ways to play.
