Cheerleading

Cheerleading is a lot harder than you would think. To be a cheerleader you have to be strong, go fast or slow enough, good memory, and flexible. For doing stunts you have to be able to hold a girl the weight around 70-100 pounds, and a flyer has to be able to hold her own weight up. The reason you have to be fast or slow enough is because for cheers you have different tempos every cheer or when we do the half time dance. You need a good memory for a lot of things like to remember the cheers and dance. Also you have to remember that there is no me in team. And finally you don’t have to be flexible but if you are you will be featured during stunts and cheers.

Perfect by Natasha Friend

The book “Perfect” by Natasha Friend shows the dangers of bulimia. This is a really good thing to know that it’s bad because if you force yourself to throw up ; your teeth will turn an ugly brown, and it will become addicting, it’s addicting because that’s the way a bulimic person copes with their problems.
After Isabelle’s dad died, Isabelle kept seeing herself as fat. So Isabelle chose bulimia as her answer. Not a very smart decision as if you can tell. I like but also dislike this book because I utterly hate throwing up or having someone else talk about them upchucking. I like this story because of the detail, it may be about throwing up but I really like the way Natasha Friend puts it.
Throughout the story sense they talk about bulimia, I think a good age to read this book at is 12 and older. I say this because of the bulimia, and talking about alcoholic drinks. Also it talks about the way Isabelle feels about herself, such as fat legs, and imperfect body. Well imperfect to her, to others no one would even notice.
Before I read this story I didn’t have very much background knowledge about Bulimia, and the dangers of what it does. During this book Isabelle got caught by her sister April. If April didn’t catch her sister, Isabelle wouldn’t be seeing a therapy group twice a week. While seeing the therapist she found out that the most popular girl in the school is bulimic. Isabelle may be mad at her sister for ratting her out, but I think she should be happy that she now is part of the “cool crowd” now rather than hanging out with girls who go to sleep at 8 pm.
“Perfect” by Natasha Friend talks about the dangers of bulimia. It’s excellent to know so people don’t become addicted, or get an ugly teeth color. There are no comparisons to me and this story. This book is swell for anyone who is mature or over the age of 12.

Breaking up a song (Double Vision 3oh3)

DOUBLE VISION BY 3OH3


The sun is so hot,
The drinks are so cold.
As the day goes.
We're gonna stay up,
Aint gonna lay low, (Not wanting to relax?)
We're gonna dance all night because we say so. (just wants to have fun?)
(Na na na...)

I'm thinkin' maybe, I can't have relationships. (bad relationships in the past?)
'Cause lately, they're not making any sense.
And baby, you're the one thing on my mind but that can change anytime. (true love?)

'Cause there's so many fine women,
That my head is spinnin', (can't decide which girl to choose?)
And I've lost all feelin',
Everybody's singin',
Like, hey na na na hey-hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey-hey na na na na.

'Cause there's so many fine women,
That my head is spinnin', (can't decide which girl to choose?)
And I'm seeing double vision,
Everybody's singin',
Like, hey na na na hey-hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey-hey na na na na.

Lets' do this outside,
Shut down the whole block,(Party?)
Watch the girls strut by like it's a catwalk.
We're livin' easy,
We got the whole day,
And we can go hard no matter what the cops say. (just want to have fun?)
(Na na na)

I'm thinking maybe, I can't have relationships.(bad relationships in the past?)
'Cause lately, they're not making any sense.
And baby, you're the one thing on my mind but that can change anytime.

'Cause there's so many fine women,
That my head is spinnin',( can't decide which girl to choose?)
And I've lost all feelin',
Everybody's singin',
Like, hey na na na hey-hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey-hey na na na na.

Like, hey na na na hey-hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey-hey na na na na.

I see no vitals on your E-K-G,
Dead on the dance floor. (dancing crazy?)
We only,
Clap because we need more.
3OH! 3 blowin' out your speakers.(life of the party?)
(HEY! )
Blowin' out your speakers.

'Cause there's so many fine women,
That my head is spinnin',( can't decide which girl to choose?)
And I've lost all feelin',
Everybody's singin',
Like, hey na na na hey-hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey-hey na na na na.

Roberto and Julia

A man and a woman were standing at the train station anxiously waiting for their 5:45 pm train. All you could here was yawns of others and the rusting of the leaves on after a long fall day. Suddenly the young man heard the train start to come, and got down on one knee and asked “Julia, will you marry me?”
Julia, the woman, screamed delightfully, and said,” Yes Roberto, yes!”
Roberto and his fiancĂ© were smiling with joy as they got onto the very noisy train, and right there right in that very train station lies one of the happiest days of Julia’s and Roberto’s lives!
