The clock winked...

The clock winked at me. Wait... what? A clock? All of the sudden two little legs and two little arms popped out of the clock as if the clock had a body. At this point I'm thinking to myself this must be a dream. Duh, clocks aren't living things. Just as that thought crossed my mind eyes popped out along with a mouth but no nose. This clock just transformed from my every day time keeper to a living thing. It was unbelievable to say the least as the little clock man began talking, making hand gestures, and moving just like you and me. He began by introducing himself as he was a very polite young clock. He said, "Hello Kyle, I'm your clock and yes I am talking to you. This whole time I am sitting on my couch with a look that says, "holy sh*t". Tickity Tock was the clocks name and right after introductions he told me an adventure awaits us. We stepped outside into the open planes of Africa as elephants ran past us. We then began to walk away from the hut that we were once in. All of the sudden a pride of lions ambushed us but we fought them off. As we were on our journey the ground disappeared under our feet. Then I woke up.

I once dreamed about...

Everybody has that dream that occurs multiple times. I use to dream this but it hasn't been dreamt in quite a while yet I can still remember it clear. It all starts like a blur and it's hard to realize what's going on at first but then the vision clears up and I'm in a castle. I wander around and the weirdest things are going on in the dream but I never realize how weird it is until I wake up. As I'm wandering there's a witch like lady who wants to kill me so I begin to run but I can't seem to run that fast. I get backed up against the castle wall where it's either be killed by the witch or jump and hope I live. All of the sudden a crocodile starts charging towards me but I can't make a decision. The next thing I know I'm in my bed falling down a very long octagonal well looking thing. Before impact I awake wondering why this dream reoccurs. It's been years now since I've had a recurrence of that dream but now I start to have new dreams instead. I have this dream where I am sky diving and I free fall for what seems like forever but I'm having fun. It's no scary dream what so ever. Then right before I perish into the ground of my dream world, I awake. Another dream that I can remember that was pretty cool was when I was like the human torch from the fantastic 4. I could take two steps forward and then jolt up into the sky and start flying. I felt like I could control my dream too which is rare. In the dream I had the most fun ever because I actually felt how it was to be able to fly and there are no words to desrcribe that feeling. When I woke up from the best dream I had ever had I was simply devistated and wished I could go back to sleep and fly one more time.

I wish someone had told me... to just be me. Growing up every kid wanted to be a cool kid, do cool things, and wear cool clothes. All with the ultimate goal to be "popular". I have always found myself to be modest, not cocky but confident, and kind to everyone no matter their status at school. So I guess this isn't for me but for everyone else who thinks there's such thing as popular. Be you because that's who you are. You can't live you life being someone you aren't yet some people still try to. Looking at EVHS, the "popular" kids don't have many friends outside their group and just my opinion, I don't want to be like that. It's all opinion and I'm sure others would say differently but oh well I'm just rambling on. I wish I could send out an announcement to the world that there really isn't such thing as popular, in fact the popular kids are actually hated the most out of any group here because they think they're so cool and not to mention all the rumors that get spread about them. I prefer to have friends from every group and be that normal kid who had a good time and didn't get tied down with the cool kids partying all the time and getting in trouble. Overall just be you. Smile and don't let other things like that get to you because its not worth it. Don't worry and have no regrets. (My advice to the younger generation)

A little Asian guy driving a shoe car. The story of the shoe car. One day Chong was in his garage and was just in a good mood feeling motivated to do something. As he was sitting there thinking he happened to look down at his shoes and think about how we use them to run and walk places and even bike too. He thought about shoes for a short while but then moved on to his next idea because he was getting no where. Next he thought about his lawn mower, rake, hose, and garage door. Yet not one idea came to him. He decided to call it a day and head in for a good night sleep. The next morning Chong awoke in what seemed like a trance. It was an idea! He thought he could use the same energy used for tire brakes on roller coasters to conserve and create more energy than ever! He pondered then wandered but he couldn't stop thinking about his shoes. He went back out into the garage, looked at his car, looked at his shoes, and then stopped. Chong said screw energy conservation, I'm making a shoe car! From that moment he began making his well thought up show car. He finally finished and got to show it off for all of China to see. Thank Chong for shoe cars! All the little kids and old nemisis' of Chong will weep when they see his all-awesome shoe car because it's so cool and who doesn't wan't one? That would be called sarcasm. lol. But in reality it's kind of cool but I wouldn't want it unless it had giant wheels for off roading and a roll cage and cockpit so your head doesn't get snapped off when you roll.
