You Would Never Have Guessed What...

You would never have guessed what happened, I was walking down the street, minding my own business when all of a sudden these three guys came and tried to kidnap me with bubblegum bubbles. They would all blow bubbles and tried to entrap me in them. Then all of a sudden the clock on one of the attackers necklace started to suck me in. The clocks face disappeared and showed a reflection of me but I was older which was very unusual. I could tell it was me because of my clothes and the gum stuck in my hair but I was 50 years older. It startled me at first but I adjusted to the image of it. Then the second and third guys forgot to keep blowing bubbles to entrap me. I would pop the bubbles and then ran away and then the 3 men chased after me while their shrieked in a foreign language that I was unfamiliar with. All of a sudden a beautiful girl pops out from nowhere and distracts the 3 pursuers from me. The beautiful girl reached into her pocket and pulled out some heavy duty bubblegum and laid it on the road which trapped the 3 men as their feet were stuck to the gum and they had to stand there while people stared at them. They were truly unique and dressed funky. As I walked closer to them, they offered me cupcakes to help set them free but the girl said it was a trick. I just stood there as close to the edge of the as I could get and they started reaching out to me but I felt no remorse as I still had gum stuck in my hair. All of a sudden this anger came over me and I took of my belt and beat them till they started bleeding purple, and I swear to you that is exactly how it all went.

The Promiscious Textbook

My owner, Mike Hawk, was an untidy, disorganized, non-eccentric man who always left his bag unzipped. My previous owners would always keep me in their bags and only take me out when their professors needed me. But Mike, he was different. He would always leave his bag open so that I could breathe the fresh air and explore the world as he traveled even though the world’s information was written on my pages. He gave me a new outlook on life and made me feel like the only thing in his life. He would read me first thing in the morning, during the day in the library, and even late at night where we’d be all alone together. We spent countless of hours together and all we needed was each other. He would gain vast knowledge about the world from me and I would gain pleasure from his finger tips on the back of my spine which would make my pages curl. He would hold me nonchalantly but with enough firmness that it felt like he would never let me go.
Then one day, everything went wrong. I accidentally gave him a paper cut and he beat me like never before. This was much more worse than what we did during role play. His eyes were filled with fire as he threw me against the wall, I never felt so much pain in my life. I wished I was back in my previous owners dark and lonely bags, at least there I was safe. I thought this nightmare would never end as he kicked me around his room. He shrieked at me, "Advanced Functions 12 I CANT STAND YOU" and threw me off of his balcony. I was left there all alone, cold and abandoned but after everything I had done with him I was ashamed of myself. If only I could go back and take back what I did but I realized that I was left to go nowhere but forward. Ill cherish the memories I had with Mike Hawk, of all the late nights, early mornings and sometimes in the car.

Five Books I Would Love To eat.

There are many books out there in the world that cover every topic. You must chose wisely on what you would eat so that it can be used to your advantage. The very first book that I would love to eat is Harry Potter so that I can gain magicall skills and use them to make my life easier. I would boil the book in a nice big cauldron until it was nice and soft. The second book I would eat is Gordon Ramsay's World Kitchen so that I would never go hungry again. The best way to cook this book would be over a a hot flaming fire in a wok. The third book I would eat is the World Geography Book so that I will know all about the world without travelling anywhere. It would be best to cook this book over a firepit in the nice outdoors. The fourth book I would eat is the Dictionary so that I would be filled with vast amounts of knowledge and never feel stupid. This book would be best with some break and chicken noodle soup at the side. The final book I would eat is twilight to rid the world of some garbage. I would eat this book next to a toilet because I'll most likely puke it back out:D

What is Success?

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

This Asian Guy

I was born in Burlington, Ont. on Jan. 5, 1992. I am of Korean ethnicity but a Canadian citizen. I love relaxing and doing nothing at all but then again I also love being active and playing sports. Im currently the captain of the OP varsity boys Hockey team and will be playing rugby and badminton in the spring. I like to get involved in school clubs like S.S.H.O.P.S, JETS, and student council. I am the boys atheletic rep for OP and part of a hamilton policing program. I love to just relax by sitting infront of my computer and listening to music. I am looking forward to the challenges writers craft has to offer and hope that I have the energy to tackle them all with the best of my abilities.

Obesity at its Finest

What if you were too big to fit through a doorway? How would you feel if everywhere you went, you knew that people were staring at you and cracking jokes at your expense? Is it because of a disease or something you can control? Obesity has now become a medical condition in which excess body fat has gathered to the extent that it may reduce life expectancy. You are considered to be obese if you are so overweight that it endangers your health. Obesity is linked to many diseases like heart disease, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer and osteoarthritis. The question is, do these problems cause obesity? Or do they come from obesity?
The main treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. Severe cases, surgery is done to reduce stomach volume and/or bowel length. Obesity is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, and with the dramatic increase, it is viewed as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Although being obese was viewed as wealthy and happy in history, it is now a symbol of laziness and disgust.
So what has caused North America to become the heaviest continent in the world? Well, 1 out of 3 Americans are considered obese. There are fast food joints everywhere. We have become a culture that sits behind a screen all day. The average American man has a waist the size of 40 inches which is an increase of 5 inches compared to 40 years ago. The average American women have a waist of 37 inches which is an increase of 7 inches compared to 40 years ago. It is estimated that over 67% of the US adult population are overweight or obese. So with stats and a lifestyle like this, it’s inevitable that we aren’t the heaviest continent in the world.
By becoming obese, you increase the chances of the following:
Disease

Relative risk for men
Type 2 Diabetes

Myocardial infarction

Just because obesity runs in families, this does not mean that it is genetic and it certainly does not mean that it is impossible to do something about it. Families eat together. They develop a common attitude towards food. The diet may be high in fat. Large, high calorie meals may be normal and everyone is expected to clear the plate. In some families the provision of sweets and cakes is an index of love. Being at risk of obesity does not make obesity inevitable. It means that the individual has to work harder to maintain an acceptable weight. Obesity is multi-factorial.
The sad thing is that 18% of children today are obese. This means that out of 1000 children, 180 of them are obese. That is a scary statistic to me. It is important to teach kids to eat healthy when they are young so they can carry those skills throughout their life. 70% of children who are obese will remain obese their entire life. Children become more at risk for disease’s and a very unhealthy lifestyle. Adult obesity has been linked to childhood obesity. It all comes back to the starting point.
Obesity is a rapid growing problem and but it doesn’t have to stay that way. No matter how much excess weight or fat you have, if you want to lose weight permanently, your diet program should be directed toward a slow, steady weight loss. According to official government dietary guidelines, unless your doctor feels your particular health condition would benefit from more rapid weight loss, you should expect to lose no more than 2 pounds of fat a week, although initial loss (mainly water) may be greater. Losing more weight is no guarantee that weight loss is likely to be permanent. Don´t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.
