i put that title there because this post isnt really about anything special, i just wanted to post and make sure everybody knew i was still here.

Nothing much going on in my little world. Now that track is over i havent been doing much. Hoping to maybe start (or think about it atleast a little bit more) that 1$ campaign soon, if you have any ideas leave a comment.. Maybe soon i will find another funny video or article like i did when i was in california and i will post about it.

Track is over

Last track meet

so today wa smy last track meet! today i got to do hurdles and it was awsome! i came in 2nd! i was so happy. after the track meet i went to winking lizard with my friends and just had a good dinner and chilled with my friends!

So today was a good day! not much really went on.. went to school then came home and played a game that came out this morning and then just wrote this.. so anyway this week during track i might do hurdles but for this meet only the top 4 people get to compete and im not top 4 in anything.. thats ok though! so my weekend was fun. i had a sleepover friday night, watched UP with my friend, then went to a party on sunday.. while at the party i got piled on by a bunch of little kids so i know that i am greatly liked! :D yea that was about it! also i have noticed that i havent been getting many comments.. feel free to comment i want to know what you think! Last oh man was it hot today. i mean hot for ohio in this part of the year. i walked home today and i was sweating!

Thanks:

Quick hello #2

Im on to something...

So lately ive had people tell me that ive been on to something with the 1$ per person to try and raise over 7,000,000,000$. my mom told me that she would buy me a website that i could start something on, and i just wanted to know everybody elses opinions! I say this because i mean it sounds like it would be fun and maybe i could travel a little bit and it would definately make my life more interesting but i want to know anything else anybody has to say because thats what will help me out! i mean do you think i could go somewhere with this and try to get a 1$ donation from everybody in the world then make donations to certain charities? I suppose that if i were to do it i could start the campaign on a website and then i might start another blog about that, it would definatly be a journey of a lifetime thats for sure!

Buy a man a fish and you feed him for a week, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

That would be the campaigns slogan because if the whole world came together as one and just donated something so little the world could and would change in a HUGE way, i mean if you really think about it what could u do with 7,000,000,000? think about how many people we could help, children we could help, diseases we could cure, animals we could save, with just one dollar from each person we could change the world, and thats why im hoping that maybe i could get this off the ground because i think that the world needs to know that even something so small as 1$ could change the world.

What i heard and saw today

Today isnt going to be a short post but i heard the most incredible thing today. I was in the car and my dad was talking to me and we had been talking then he started talking about someones birthday and how he was going to get something but then decided he would ask them what they wanted. and this person is turning 21 so its a big b-day this year, and you know what that person said? they said for their birthday they wanted him to make a donation to Relay For Life because she knows someone whos mom had cancer.. that absolutely made me think... what if everybody donated even just 1$ to a charity.. we could raise so much money. Cancer might be cured, End world hunger! we can never tell whats around the corner but i was on a website and it said the world population at the second i looked at it was 7,004,779,030.. if everybody donated a single dollar.. we could all become richer, but not in money, in LIFE. As i was watching this world population counter i kept seeing it go up.. and up.. and up.. its pretty crazy.. check it out for youruself! http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop

been gone a while!

Sorry to everybody who reads this everyday that i have been away so long it was a really busy and tiring! so anyway thank you everybody for your comments on the pictures i appreciate it! Also somebody mentioned that the browns drafted Colt McCoy and i actually saw that last night and i thought it was kind of funny. so anyway about this week it has been long because i have had track practice and i was really tired tuesday because i had to practice doing hurdles and i was EXHAUSTED! after that i had my track meet Thursday and i came in 4/5 in my event which i was disappointed but i actually improved my time by 2 seconds. Yesterday i had 8th grade Formal which i might post pictures for if i can, but that was fun, and now tonight im having my two of my best friends over for a sleepover! so that was my weekend and i will be more on rack with my posting now!

long week ahead!

So this week is going to be a long one because i have my OAA tests this week.. ohio achievement something tests.. and then after school i have track so i am going to try my best to post every night!

So anyway i was wondering what everbody thought of the pictures!?! post a comment telling me what you think..

Also just something that i thought was funny was last night i went to bed at like 10:00 because we watched a movie.. well i was tired and at 10:30 this morning maggie (my dog) woke me up.. she jumped on my face then she kept jumping until i opened my door to let her downstairs.. by the time i was done fending off he 6 pound wonder i was up and ready to go. So basically my whole day i just kind of sat around and had a GREAT sunday.. So that was it!

Dont forget to tell me what you thought of the pictures!

So there was an earthquake today in California --> Earthquake Story <-- Anyway so i was in that (my first one) it was kinda cool i mean i know it is a serious issue but it was sorta fun.. Anyway so funny story me and my sister were making --> deviled eggs <-- and she tried some and thats when the earthquake started. so she tried some and she was like woah i just suddenly got really dizzy, so i ate some while she was saying that and as i took the spoon out of my mouth i was like woah... and then thats when we realized we were in a earthquake. we all just sort of stood there and kind of got thrown around! but yea that is my big story of today. it was a fun day!

Dont let people make you keep your feet on the ground

I found this cute video of this dog while i was on yahoo yesterday! [= maybe this dog is like you in many ways but different. for one he cant keep his feet on the ground! for too this dog is still young.. a puppy some might say.

one was you might be different is by my heading i didnt really mean to keep your feet on the ground! what i mean by that is dreaming, DREAM BIG. when i say keeping your feet on the ground i mean lifting off any flying high with your dreams. all the time as i kid i hear adults saying "wow i wish i could do that" or "Wow i wish i would have chose that as my career" or "Man if only i could go back to college and learn how to do that" WELL YOUR THINKING ABOUT IT! i mean if you can think it, you can dream it, and if you can dream it then you can do it! As a kid i dont know if i really have a LOT of experience on this subject but i mean people just need to learn to dream really big and you will reach your goal someday, so do not let other people tell you "oh you cant do that" or even say thats impossible because nothing is impossible when your young and "Fresh" even older people dont have to be stopped by anything, age is just a number. so get out there and do something spontaneous!

What would you do if you were a billionaire for 5 hours?

The question would arise today when i was on the internet i saw a cool article on yahoo


http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/109237/if-you-were-billionaire-for-five-hours


So the question stands. what would YOU do with almost $90,000,000,000?

Me? i would probably buy out the Gamestop! all of them, because i love going to gamestop and it would be cool to own a company. Also i would take all my friends and family sky diving because that is something that i have always wanted to do. Next i would give my sister enough money to last two lifetimes so she could pay for all her college, and buy a really nice car. Third i would give my dad money so that he could pay off the house then do whatever he wanted to for the rest of his life. Fourth i would give my mom enough money so she could live a happy life as what she really wants to be, an artist. Last i would probably donate alot because i honestly wouldn't need 90,000,000,000. That is what i would do with my 90,000,000,000 to say the least i would try to change the world!
