The Comfy Canine

Lumber Bear

I was hiking through the forest one day all alone when all of a sudden I felt a sharp sting across the back of my head, and then everything went black. When I came about I knew something was different. I felt about 3 ft taller, and 600lbs heavier. I had been turned into a HUGE Lumber Bear. I couldn't figure out how, but I guessed that a witch doctor had jumped out and hit me with a magic stick, so that's what I'm sticking with. So being this gigantic bear I suddenly had the urge to start pushing over trees, and so that's what I started doing. Once I had about 10 trees knocked down I had to stop and take a break. Then some idiot photographer comes along, and catches me with my tongue hanging out and thought it was funny. So I found it pretty hilarious when he was screaming like a little girl while I bit off his arms and legs. No I'm just kidding, but I did chase him around and whack him around a little. Next thing I know I'm passed out in my cave, and go into a deep hibernation, only to wake up and be human again. Don't ask me, just a crazy day in the woods I guess?

Coach Rhodes Memory

The best memory I have of coach rhodes happened during my junior year. It was the beginning of track season, and it was also the most dreaded day of the whole season! It was the 50 sec run day! So to make it even worse I had forgot all about it, and ate allsups burritos during lunch hour. We get out on the track and when I see the cones set up I went from a perfect mood to an absolute feeling of sickness. We started warming up, stretching, and listening to coach. He kept saying "Now fellas, this right here will show me who has heart, and who don't." So when my time came I took off like I was running the 200m dash. I could keep hearing coach rhodes saying "That away McQueen! That away! Keep pumping them arms!" So when I got to about the 300m mark I thought I was about spent, but coach is what kept me going. I could see him in the middle of the straight-away, running backwards, waving his arm, and he was saying "come on McQueen, come on!" So I had this feeling like I never had before. All of my exhaustion was just overcome by adrenaline, and I ended up making it to the 395m mark! Only 5m away from making it all the way around! Coach Rhodes has to be the most encouraging man I've ever known.

H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu)

I think the H1N1 virus (Swine Flu) could definately be tied to pigs. I believe this because it has been proven that flu viruses can be spread from pigs to people and from people to pigs, but cannot be obtained by eating pork. Many people have very little if any at all immunity to this disease which makes it very dangerous of becoming a world-wide plague. I really hope the people studying this disease continue to take it seriously that away we can get it under control.

Self-Descritpion poem

Baron
outstanding, opinionated, exhilarating, wild, carefree
I like riding around in my cars, and playing sports
my mom, dad, aunt, and especially not without Allie
annoying people bother me
Friday Night Lights, Fast and Furious, American Gangster
spiders and snakes
lunch and athletics are my favorite part of school
Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, St. Thomas, and Miami are places I've been
Idaho and Alaska are two places I'd like to go
graduate from college, obtain a great career, raise some amazing kids, and be very wealthy
McQueen

In the future I plan on being a successful man, with a career in sports medicine, running our farm land, and starting a family once it seems that I have everything in line. I'm going to live in a two-story house with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, a game room, and big basement. It'll have a huge backyard with a pool, spa, grilling area, chilling area, and big grassy area with a trampoline and stuff for the kids.
When I start to feel like I'm making plenty of income, and not just spending it all on bills and other payments, that's when I'll go buy the car(s) I really want! I'm going to have the best diesel truck they make at the time, and after I buy it I'm going to lift it and put all kinds of performance parts on it to make it seem like your riding in a monster truck. Then I'll get the the best SUV money can buy to make sure the family/wife has something to drive. The third car is going to have to be a sports car. I love corvettes, lamborghinis, porsches, mustangs, and camaros, but I've always had my dream car and that would be the Ferrari F50 GT. It's a bad mother, and as soon as I feel like I can make the payments on it, I will!! So that is a look into my future, and the kinds of plans that I have in store for the later days.

Packed My Parachute

Six people that have packed my parachute in the past would have to be my mom, dad, aunt, sister, grandma, and brother, but out of all those, it's probably been my mom who's done the majority of my parachute packing. She's always been set on teaching, giving, and doing the best for me, and I have many memories to back up this statement, but I'll share one. When I was about 10 years old we had to put down my favorite dog who we had had since I was 5. My mom went against my dad's word and left that same day and didn't get back until sometime around midnight. I was like where in the world have you been? She didn't say anything just walked to the back of the car, opened the door, and picked up a fat little black lab. She handed him to me and I was laughing and crying at the same time. So I'd have to say my mom definately deserves the title as my best "parachute packer."

Expectations of My Senior Year

When I was in Elementary, and would think about when I was going to be a senior, it was a totally different thought than what I have now. I would think that it would be super hard and that I'd be a giant man like my dad and be working non stop on school work, and working on our farm. Well now that it's here it's not all that bad. I'm just going to make sure I keep my grades really high and do the best I can in the sports I play. So if I do all this I expect that my senior year will be great.
