Lame

Fear builds walls. K. So. If you’re afraid of stuff, it will limit what you’re able to do.  If you’re afraid of pancakes, ihop isn’t the place for you, because that stands for International House of Pancakes (I’ve never actually met someone who is afraid of pancakes). Most of this is filler because I don’t really feel like writing this blog. But yeah. Fear sucks. If people were fearless that’d be kinda cool. Cause then people could do whatever they want. For example, I am afraid of airplanes, so I will probably never leave the country unless it’s to Canada which doesn’t really count cause Canada is just New York with a lot of annoying, drunk hockey fans. Oh well. I think that fear can also be a good thing though because sometimes fear can save your life. Like…if you were like…afraid to go in a room where a bomb was about to explode, you’d probably be afraid for a good reason, and as a result, you’d stay alive. I also think that fear is fear and that makes no sense, I just need like 60 more words so I will now tell a story. Nevermind, I cant think of one. Okay, okay. One time zach and I went to matts and we hid in the red tent when other people came. However, we were simply saying we were in the red tent, when really we were in the green tent. It was pretty obvious that we were in the green tent however. K.

WINNIN'

What is winning? Winning is when you don’t lose. Winning kinda rules. Losing kinda sucks. Winning rules because then you don’t lose…and losing sucks. Therefore, when you win, you don’t suck. Not all losers suck though. But all winners rule. I like to win stuff because it makes you feel like you rule. I don’t like losing stuff because then you feel like you suck. Some things I like to win are table tennis, ice canes and Ultimate Flight Wheel. I don’t like losing these things, cause that sucks. Winning makes you feel accomplished. That is pretty cool. It feels like all your hard work and preparation pays off. Right now, we’re figuring out how much money the first Pokémon movie would have made in todays world, which is a win, which rules. 

Thankful

Each thanksgiving, we must ask ourselves, what are we thankful for this year? This year when I am asked, I will say I am thankful for just about everything. I am thankful for all of my family and friends. I really think of thanksgiving as less of a holiday, and more of a time to spend time with my family. My friends are also very important to me because without them, life would kinda suck. I. I am also thankful that I have been given the gift of life. I think that thanksgiving should be a time where we look less upon material possessions, and be thankful of all the little things.  Take time to walk through the nature trail to see how beautiful all the trees are. Thanksgiving is should also be a time that we help out the less fortunate. Give as much as you can to food drives, not just around thanksgiving, but all year round. Some people cannot afford the price of food for their family, and that’s not right, especially on thanksgiving. People should focus less on what they don’t have, and be thankful for everything they do have. There’s no sense getting upset over things you don’t have, because usually, the only person who feels bad for you, is yourself. I really realize that when my family is over, I appreciate them a lot more (except for a few of them, that are rich, snobby, and a few other words I’d say but in school my free speech is limited). So this thanksgiving, I will be sure to be thankful for all of my family, friends and being able to live each day. So remember to think less about things you want, and focus on what you have and be happy that it’s yours.

Chrimbus!

My favorite holiday is easily Chrimbus. It’s my favorite time of year. For those of you who don’t know, Chrimbus is on the 25^th of December each and every year.  Each year I wait for Chrimbus music to come on the radio (which it already has) and for decorations to go up in stores because that means that means that Chrimbus time has come again! I really like Chrimbus time because it’s in my favorite season, winter. I like winter because everything looks so nice in the cold white snow. Chrimbus only adds to this, with all of the lights and decorations. The snowy town looks very nice, lit up by Chrimbus lights. I have to admit that I am a sucker for Chrimbus music. Each time I hear songs like “White Chrimbus” or “Rocking around the Chrimbus Tree” I begin to get excited for Chrimbus. I also get excited when I first see Chrimbus movies on T.V. It usually begins with Chrimbus Vacation, a classic. Because it is on a different channel each night, every night during Chrimbus time, my dad and I usually watch it 2-3 times a week during the weeks leading up to Chrimbus. My other favorites are Home Alone, The Santa Clause, and The Charlie Brown Chrimbus special. But the Pinkowski family’s favorite Chrimbus movie is A Chrimbus Story. We have the movie on VHS and the only time our old VCR gets use, is the Chrimbus season. I can honestly say that I have seen A Chrimbus Story over 100 times, easily. When it is on TBS for the 24 hour marathon on Chrimbus and Chrimbus eve, my eyes are glued to the T.V. On Chrimbus eve, my family and I all watch it at least once before we go to bed. And to be honest, I still cannot fall asleep on Chrimbus eve, so I watch it 3 or 4 times before I actually fall asleep. When I wake up on Chrimbus day, I walk down my staircase and the thing I do is wish everyone a very merry Chrimbus! I then sit down and watch A Chrimbus Story because my dad has already turned it on. Those are just a few reasons why Chrimbus is my easily my favorite holiday.

Three Quotes

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today" - James Dean

I chose this quote because I feel that more people should live by it. I think people worry too much about what’s going to happen tomorrow, and completely ignore today. Everyone should take time to notice all of the little things in life that make it so great. However, you shouldn’t completely ignore the future. You can do anything you want to in this world, so don’t waste your potential.

“You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.” – Buddha

I chose this quote because I feel that you should try to stay as calm as you can, whenever you can. Usually, being angry will lead to a greater consequence than being calm. Most of the time, a lot can be avoided by not letting anything anger you. One thing you can’t let get to you are the words of others. One reason that this will help is because you will not be upset about it all day, you’ll simply put it in the back of your mind and continue your day. Another is that whoever said something won’t get the satisfaction of knowing that they made you angry.

“Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I chose this quote because I truly believe that the only thing between you and happiness is your mind. If you sit around all day being sad or angry, you’ll never be happy, simply because you don’t believe you can be.   

Lunch With Three People

If I could have lunch with any three people ever, the three I would choose would be, Bradley Nowell, the guy from the dos equies commercials, and Dave Chappelle. First off, I choose Brad Nowell because he is my all-time favorite musician. I choose the guy from the dos equies commercials because he is the most interesting man in the world and he would have crazy stories to tell. And I choose Dave Chappelle because he is hilarious. The meal would start off with some sort of ritual by the most interesting man in the world because he would probably have some weird thing like that to do. I would ask Brad a lot of questions about his life and his music. Dave would probably have some funny comments to say on everything someone says. Then, half way through the lunch, we would all hear a phone ring. It would be a phone call, for the most interesting man in the world. He would walk casually back to the table, only to tell us that we need to assist him in going to Brazil to deliver the baby of a rare species of animal. Before I could say no, a helicopter would come out of the sky and he would be pushing us on. The restaurant would understand the seriousness of the situation and let us go without paying. As the helicopter would fly away, I would realize that after this sentence, I will have enough words so I can stop writing this blog now.  

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is usually a very busy day in the Pinkowski household. It usually begins the day before. That is when my mother begins to make all of the food. She starts by defrosting the turkeys. My mom makes 3 of them, because my entire family comes over for dinner and it is quite a large family. She also begins to make pies and cakes. Last year, my cousin and I counted 14 varieties of pie and two cakes. My mom has always been known to make way too much food. When I wake up on thanksgiving morning, usually to the sound of the vacuum, I come downstairs to see that my kitchen has dishes all over the place and my mom is running back and forth, trying to make everything perfect. My sister usually cleans up the kitchen and living room as I clean my den. What does my father do during all this? My dad, who is half asleep all day, is usually playing online poker, and getting frustrated because he sucks at it. Once four o’clock hits, my family starts showing up, usually starting with my great aunt Deanna. By five, everyone is at my house, and to be honest, it’s quite annoying. I usually don’t eat much on thanksgiving, mostly due to the fact that most of my extended family annoys the hell out of me, and i cant stand to be around all of them for longer than an hour or so.  After dinner, everyone sits around and talks as I try to drop as many hints as I can to tell them to get out of my house. Once they leave, I help my parents clean up and put everything away and then they go to bed.

Dream Job

Many people often talk about their dream job. I however, decided that I will have no job when I’m older, other than being a millionaire. I have decided that the easiest way to do this is to go from store to store “slipping” on a wet floor and getting injured. This seems like the easiest job because all I’d have to do is get rid of all of their “wet floor” signs. This is going to be a painful life, but I’ll have a lot of money, and everything I’d want. And if I ever get myself in debt, another settlement check is just one broken arm away. This seems a lot more practical than college. When you go to college, you have to pay money, not make it. I think that everyone should do this. It makes the most sense. Why would you get a job when you can sit at home all day and be rich off of other people’s hard earned money? It’s called sharing the wealth. There is a system in which people on the bottom spend their whole life working and making  bank, and the people on top (Me) spend our lives collecting money from all of the people on the bottom. So that pretty much sums up my plans for life. I would recommend that each one of you go to the nearest wal-mart, find a puddle, and break your arm. Here are a few additional words to make my blog over 250 words.

Respek.

Respek. It’s a word that many people don’t use anymore. In fact, if you look up the word “Respek” in the dictionary, you’ll find that it’s been taken out. These of course, are words of my main man, Ali G. Ali G teaches respect in almost every episode of his hit show on HBO. Respect is something that Ali G feels is quite important. He believes you should respect everyone, no matter their race or gender. At the end of each interview, he usually give bones to his boys and says “Respect”. (Bones, in case you aren’t aware, is a “fist bump”, not to be confused with “fist pump” which is an obnoxious dance that obnoxious people do in clubs where obnoxious people hang out). So where was I? Oh yeah, Ali G. Ali G is a great show. My favorite episode is the first one, where Ali learns how to be a cop, Borat learns manners and how to date, and Bruno learns who is in and who is out. Oh, right, respect. I think respect rules. If you don’t have respect for something or someone, you won’t get very much props (street talk for respect).So, give props to your boys, props to yo gurls, and props to your homies. Also give props to your elders, they have been here a lot longer than you and are probably a lot smarter than you.
