Danny Trejo

1. What did Danny Trejo talk about yesterday?
He talked about societies and jail and his cousin Gilbert who got a life sentence on top of life sentence. "He talked about people making bad choices and good coming out of good things he did for other people.
2. Of all the things he said, what connected with you the most? Why?
The part about what happens in jail to 'pretty' guys....because I didn't think it was very funnywhen evryone laughed because I already knew what happens (because I watched TV o.o; I don't know anyone in jail)
3. What did you learn from his talk? How can you take what he leaned and apply to your life, this school, your home, and your community? Don't make bad choices and be good to other people for no ulterior motives?

What will you remember about your generation?

What will you remember about your generation? What will you hold as important to you?

I'll remember the day of the 9/11 tragedy, the morning a friend called and frantically told me to turn on the Tv and saw the towers fall, the discussions and absences from my school that day. I'll remember my passing interest in the first election and the opinions my friends had about the second one. I'll remember the increasing amount of anti-bush and bush is stupid thing on the internet, the controversial flash animations about war and presidency. I'll remember my old friends and the new ones I made, the schools and teachers and years I passed through, and my own developments and art, my thoughts and feeling. I'll remember my mom's sickness and fragility, I'll remember the hard times and the good, I'll remember my evil cat and loyal dog. I'll remember this generation as one of sadness, and the war as something we shouldn't have done. I'll remember innocence and ignorance lost. But I'll remember that after every rainy day the sun will come out.

My Winter Vacation

I didn't do much over winter break. I went to a friend's house for about a week (during Christmas) and then the day before school started I attended a birthday party of one of my school friends. For Christmas I got a Chesire cat clock, a new backpack, and two Hellsing books. My friend Karol got a Gameboy Advance Sp and two Sonic games, plus Animal Crossingand Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. We've almost finised FFCC already, and in half the time than the first file. Also the birthday party was at Build-a-Bear Workshop and everyone got to make a stuffed animal. I made an army dog and named him Erik.
