Congratulations! Pictures forthcoming!

One day,I woke up a mysterious coat appered on the end of my bed. So I got out of bed and walked to the end of the bed, thinking I wonder what it does. Then when I put on the coat I started to think should I eat breakfast first then I thought no. After that a little note appeared on the bed it said, "Who ever is wearing this coat it could take you anywhere but beware this coat might do the opposite of what you say - Merlan."
I couldn't see the signature but whoever said "beware" is kind of weird. So I told the coat where I wanted to go, Dublin, Ireland, then the coat did something weird first I shrunk then I disappeared. Instead of falling on the hard streets of Dublin I landed on soft and dusty sand. I said ow anyway because it was a hard, hard hit on the sand. After that I stood up and noticed there were weird tops on the buildings. I had no idea where I was! It took me three hours to find someone who spoke English then I asked the girl, "Excuse me, what is this place?"
The girl said, "This is India. Why do you ask so?" I said, "Oh, I was just asking because I had no idea where I was." I told the coat to take me back home. The coat took me back home. Then I ran down the steps. Mom, Dad and Sheila, my twin sister, were sitting at the table. When I got to the table Mom asked me, "Where were you?" I replied, "Sleeping. Why do you ask?"
She said, "Just wondering." Then I sat at the table with my P.J.s on and we began to eat breakfast.

A free press is important for a democracy because if you are a reporter and you tell the truth to the people you would use a free press.

For example, say the president didn't want ice cream in the United States just because he didn't like it. What would you do?

Use the free press to tell the people the truth about the president. Then the people of the United States could decide whether or not they want him to represent them.

In conclusion, that is why a free press is important for a democracy

Dear Asshole,

I think it's really bunch of crap that you did this to me. Why in the hell did you do it? YOU SUCK! I was having the greatest day of my life then you had to turn it into the worst.

What... couldn't you think of anything better to do or did you just have to find something as stupid as you to pick on? Or maybe you are just jealous because you don't have a bike helmet because your parents secretly wish you would get hit by a car.

Why did you chose to pick on me? There are several hundreds of people in this school... Why ME? If I ever catch you doing this you're going to wish you never went to this school.

If I caught you I'd take you into the bathroom and dunk you into the same toilet you put my helmet in. If you think that's enough... well it isn't! Then I'd march your sorry ass down to the principals office and say "This is the guy! This is the guy who made history! This is the guy who just so happens to be the first one ever to make a helmet acquainted with a toilet!"

If you're not afraid of me... just try it! And I'll show you how good to my word I really am!

Think about it.

Much hate,
The Boy

Over Christmas weekend I went to Old Navy and found, for daddy, a 2 pair of boot socks that are brown and orange, also he will use them when he needs to like on cold days.

Also I got Andrew a greatest brother frame that has a picture of Andrew and me in it and he loved it.

Another thing is, that on Christmas, instead of turkey or ham, we had sushi. Even though I didn't eat any sushi.
