Blurred Out Images

I think only the symbols and names of places are unblurred. They're blurred because there from satelites. They can be blurred because to far away. They can be blurred because they're to close. Thats why I think their blurred.

Tech-Whiz!

This quarter I had the best class so far! I had Technology with Mrs. DeBolt. She made the class and projects SO fun! We had many fun projects, but my favorite was the Excel Color project. We made a mystery-picture with Microsoft Excel. My picture included Domo Kun, and Gir. It took a little while, considering I was absent the first day the assignment was given, but my intrigue for the project got the best of me and made me hurry to the finish-line. Mrs. DeBolt has taught us to type without looking, using both hands, how to navigate the Internet, work the computer, the parts of the computer, and so, so, so much more! I've had some pretty fun times in this class. They include: me reading a paper at an angle, slouched in my seat, and Mrs. DeBolt thinking I was texting, my praise for my blog titles, and ALL of the assignments. My least favorite project was... Well... I don't think I have one! Mrs. DeBolt, if you're reading this, DON'T CHANGE A THING! This class is perfect! All of the projects somehow end up interesting you in some way or another, no matter what. Projects from baseball, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and blogging make this class fun AND educational! I love this class!

Free As A Bee!

This weekend, I am going to start up again on my running. I used to run marathons, and play softball, but I am going to keep up on running so I can get ready for cross-country. Usually, after school, I get out my Nike Shox and hit the pavement. I can run for hours and miles, not bothering to stop. Most people hate the protests of their muscles after this sort of exercise, but I love it because I know that they're limbering up and becoming stronger. Running keeps my mind off of the things I've been stressing, upset, mad, and happy about, and all I think about is the road before me, and the next steps I'm going to take. I rarely take my music, because the songs can put me in a certain mood when I'd much rather have a blank mind, focused on nothing but the sounds of my shoes hitting the concrete, and my next moves. If I have to come to a stop for some reason, I just run in place. I like to push myself and see how far I can go. As long as I take my phone with me, I'm as free as a bee to fly where I want and when I want. This sort of solitude would usually drive me insane, but when I'm running, I prefer to be alone. I hate running and having to slow down for your partner to catch up, or stopping so they can take a break. Running is my favorite thing to do.

Dark Inspiration!

This photo makes me think of the circus, or hypnosis. It gives me a swirly, light-headed kind of feeling. It has many curves, rounded edges, and smooth sides. It makes me think of a Tim Burton film, or a scary, freaky kind of R.L. Stine book about a hallucination. This photo kind of gives me a slightly depressed, or dark, sensation. It makes me want to write a story about a ghost living in the Eiffel Tower, and playing tricks on peoples' minds. The scraggly limbs from the trees in this photo also adds to the eerie, scary mood. The sky almost looks darker than usual, and ominous. It makes me wonder if something bad is about to happen. I sort of get the feeling that something is about to fall, or jump out at me, which makes me want to draw a scary, Halloween-themed picture. I may be crazy to think this but I also wonder if, for whatever reason, the Eiffel Tower was made from clay.
