Briggsy Awards

I would have to say the most intertaning part of the year was listing to Derek read his stories and have me Hayden and John dying laughing. I would have to say that the most boring part of the class was SSR. I got so bored somtimes and that 25 minutes seemed like it took two hours. They hardest I ever left in a class was when Britney Sherman made some kind of a grawling noise when it was quiet. They most usful thing that I learned was how to write and us senses in my papers for college. The best thing about Mr. Briggs is that the class is so chill and you can talk to him like a normal person and not a teacher. If I could change a thing in this class, I would prolly change the plus or minus thing, and like make assignments worth 5 points.

Big Fish Stories

My parents have never really talked about their marriage. I dont know where they were married, as in the town, or what year. They have never told me anything about the whole event. Im not sure what clothes they were wearing, is in what colors. Im not sure what kind of church it was in. I know that they were married in some kind of church because I have seen a picture of the church. Im not sure who my dads best man was, but I think my moms brides maid of honnor was her sister. I think they have been married for over thirty years now.

Movie Pitch

If I could pick a show that would be turned into a movie, I would have to to go with the TV "Everybody Loves Raymond" I think that those character would make for a great movie. I would have Raymond, his wife, his brother, and his mom and dad. I would have them go on a vacation to somehwere in the tropics. Raymond would prolly look at some other girl and his wife would get mad at him, and his brother would just do something creepy that eveyone would think is weird. And the dad would get mad at someone who works at the hotel and want a refund fo the trip, and they would all be mad at eachother the whole time.

Looking forward

I am really looking forward to this summer! Its gonna be a really fun one. Im just ready to be done with school work, and not really have to worry about too much when I wake up in the morning. Im ready to mow my yard and have nice grass. Im ready to go fishing, and light of fireworks. I cant wait to go over to friends house and ride fourwheelers during the day and then stay outside for the night and play kick the can. Im ready to play Legion baseball cause it is so chill. We are going to a tourament in Missouri and Omaha, it should be a good time. Im ready to go to the Ozarks and jet ski and water ski and just have fun down there. And Im ready to hang with my girlfriend, and just be able to go to town and do fun stuff with her

My Movie

If I could make a movie, it would be a documentary about a day in my life for one summer day. It would include myself, my dog toby, Spencer, and Ali. I would wake up in the am and do my chore list. Then Spencer would come over. We would play some halo downstairs and eat fruit gushers and drink pepsi downstairs. Then we would got outside and fish some at my pond. We would take the bottle rockets down to the pond and put it in the fishes mouth after we caught them and try to blow their head off. Then after that we would walk around the pond looking for some snakes to kill. If we found any we would kill them with rocks and prolly cut em up with hedge clippers. After that we would get out the 4wheelers and race around by track for awhile, spencer would end up wrecking cause he always. And then we would go inside and watch espn news. He would got home and then I would eat some supper, and then I would get cleaned up and go pick up Ali. She would come over for the night, we would prolly hang around for awhile and watch a movie. Then I would take her home. Once I got home it would be late and I would go to bed.

Ideal Mate

If I could pick the perfect girl, like build her in some kind of factory. I would have her be smart, an be good in school. She would be sifisticated and have a good job. She would be a buisness person out in public but still be fun at home. She would have lots of common sense and know whats going on in the world around us, both polital and sports wise. I would do lots of nice things for her all the time, but it would be nice if she liked did some nice things for me or took time out of her day for me, or give up one of her priorities for mine, but nothing crazy, just something kind of small and nice. She would prolly have long blonde hair and she would be tan. I really like french tip nails too. She would have really white teeth, and I wouldnt want want her to be too skinny. The upper portion of the chest on a woman doesnt mean to much to me so that would matter. I like blue, with a little green, and some grey in it. I like my girlfriens eyes right now. And Ali is a pretty good name.

Sorry

Dear Toby,

I am so sorry that I left you outside last night. I let you outside because you wanted to go to the bathroom, and while you were outside I fell asleep. I feel very bad because it was raining outside and also cold. I know that you were out of the rain and under the over hang by the front door, but I also know how scarred you are of the rain. Dad said that when you were finally came in that you had stopped barking and you were just wimpering. I felt bad becauase you were scarred when you came inside and you went to hid behind the couch. I wasnt mad at you so you dont need to be scarred. I wont let it happen again.

Old House

I live out in the Country right to next Olympia High School. My house is only 20 years old and there is only one other house within about three miles of me that are even older than that. It is the house right across from me. It is easliy over 100 years old and is still in good shape. There use to be a big farm and well and barn that was around it. My yard use to be a cattle pasture. There was just a long lane that when up to the house, but there was no actual road on. And no Olympia was not around when this house was there. I think there was actually a maid that lived and worked at the house and she had her own little cottage right behind the owners house.

Old Habbits

When I was in grade school I use to have a very weird habbit. I would have never told anyone back then but I think its pretty lame now so I dont care care about it anymore. When I was young I use to have really puffy hair and I couldnt get it to stay down, not even with gel. So I would go to bed with a stocking cap on my head and it would flatten my hair out. I dont know if it really helped but I thought it looked better the next morning. It took me until 5th grade to stop wearing it because I had just gotten into a habbit of doing it and I decided that it was pretty lame and just took it off one night. It felt like my head was cold, but I dont sleep with it anymore.

I hate my job

The job that I hate more than any other job that I have to do for a chore in the summer aroud my house is picking up little sticks out of the rocks by my front door. We have three bushes that drop little sticks in the rocks by the front door and my dad says that I need to pick them up so that they dont decay and allow weeds to grow. I could pick for hours on end, filling up garbage bags and it looks like I have done very little work to the rocks. Time always seems to pass when Im doing this chore and the work can be very tedious.

Candy Bar

The Baby Ruth was not nambed after the New York Yankees baseball player from the early 1900's. The candy bar was named after the presidents daught at the time, Ruth Cleveland. Many people have thought for the longest time that the candy bar had been nambed after The Babe was because the candy bar had came out the year after he he hit a then record sixty homeruns and that the candy bar was made for him as a congradulation gift. It has even been accepted as an official sponser of Major League Baseball though it has no ties to Babe Ruth himself.

Toy

My favorite toy when I was a kid was my Batman batcave mansion. It was a very large toy batman house. It had a trifold that split the house up into three sections. The front of the house was the living area. and the back of his house was the layer. It had a place to park the bat car and a changing room. It had some trap doors in it, and break away windows. It had all kinds of rops and swings. It was the center peice of my play time cause you could incorperate a whole bunch of other toys around with it. The Ninja Turtles even found their way into the old bat house.

Hey Kiddo

Dear future child of Chase Hainline,

I sure hope that your a boy for starters. I want you to be a hard worker and a nice person to everyone. I want you to be the "cool" kid at school cause you will be smart, good looking, and you will do very will in sports. I hope that you will be very succsesful at whatever you desicide to do with your life. The world is not a very hard place to live in. You just need to get your work done, try hard, and be nice to everyone, then people will like you. Do not make yourself a hard person to like and youll be fine. I hope you have a great life, and maybe make lots of money so you can give it to me and Ill have a nice retierment.

Fear

When I was a kid was that there was something or someone in my closet when I went to bed. I had seen some scary movies before so I could picture what a scary person looks like to me. The person that I was most scarred of would have to be a little girl with pale skin and black long hair. She would have to be almost ghost pale and she would have some scares on her face. She wouldnt say anything at all, just sit in the corner of my room. If she did talk it would be about someone who would have hurt her. I was more scarred of a little girl than some killer coming into my house late at night.

Week 1: Def of Poetry

I think a poem is any way to express how you are feeling. You can show what kind of mood you are in or how your emotions are. It is a way to explain what is going on in your life, or what you have seen go on in other peoples life. Poems can be about being happy, sad, scarred, lonely and many more, there is no guidelines to writing a poem. I would say that most people write poems to express how they are feeling when they dont want to have to say it through words. All poems have a meaning to them, and have some little piece in them to get there point across. I would say that most poems also have a little bit of the person who wrote them in them.
