F4- Christmas is Approaching

As the snow is falling, it puts me into the Christmas spirit.  In my house, we are starting to put up our decorations and get everything ready for Christmas.  We have yet to get our tree, but I believe we will do that in the near future.  We usually go to a place on County Line to get our tree, but I cannot think of the name of the place.  My family tries to get a tree that is not too big, but is also not too small.  In order to get the tree, we have to cut it ourselves, which is usually sort of a pain in the neck both literally and figuratively.  After we get our tree, we pick a day where the whole family stops what they are doing and decorates the tree with beautiful ornaments.  We have a variety of ornaments; We have some that we have made as little kids in Kindergarten or even preschool.  We also have ones that my mother has bought from the store.  After we decorate the tree with ornaments, we wrap the tree with lights.  We usually go with the multicolored lights as opposed to the single colored lights.  When all that is done we put the finishing touches on with the star!  I love Christmas time for a couple reasons.  One reason is that I get to eat a bunch of food the whole day, and another reason is that I get to see the excitement of Christmas on my little brother and sisters' faces on Christmas morning; The same excitement that I used to show and no longer do.  Also spending time with family is always a grand old time in my household.  I still do get excited about opening gifts a little bit, but not nearly as much as I used to.  Have a great Christmas!

F3-I'm a Country Boy

My favorite music genre has got to be Country.  Although I like many types of music, country just out does them all.  I like many artists within the genre of country music like The Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and Billy Currington.  My favorite is The Zac Brown Band.  Not one song of theirs disappoints me.  I went to their concert over the summer and it was amazing!  When I drive in my car, I listen to country music the majority of the time.  It is just so soothing to listen to and  it puts me into a great mood.  I feel the lyrics to country music are very relating to many peoples' lives.  Some upcoming country artists are not very high on my list for favorite musician.  Artists like Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes are really pushing it for being considered country musicians.  A lot of their songs are annoying and yeah, just annoying.  Country music is a type of music you can listen to at any time during the day.  The only time I do not listen to country music is before football games, it just does not pump me up like rock does.  I may not dress like the typical country music fan, but trust me, I am.  I don't wear cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.  One concert that I enjoyed very much was the Brad Paisley concert two years ago.  It was Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker that performed and they did splendid!  I enjoy Darius Rucker's music and Brad Paisley's music a lot.  Country concerts are fun and there is always i fight because someone bumped into someone's girlfriend and of course there was alcohol involved.  Those fights are usually entertaining and someone ends up getting gain tackled by a guy and four of his friends.  Country music is where it's at.

F2- The best movies ever

       I feel that there are some very great movies out there.  The top three movies are Step Brothers, Gran Torino, and Taken.  I absolutely love Step Brothers because the comedy is extremely funny.  It is the comedy that I enjoy most.  One of my favorite actors, Will Ferrell, is in it.  He makes the whole movie.  My favorite part of the movie is when they are sleep walking.  You can't do anything but laugh when that part is playing.  If they came out with a Step Brothers 2, I would buy it in a heart beat.
      Gran Torino is a fantastic movie.  I was kept interested the whole movie.  The plot was fantastic and  Clint Eastwood was brilliant throught the whole movie.  My favorite part was the ending.  Spoiler Alert! Clint Eastwood goes to a Gang's house, a gang who has been tormenting a young man that is now close to Clint, and stands in the driveway.  Clint acts as if he has a gun in his pocket so the gang begins to shoot him.  He pulled his hand out and it was just his hand acting like a gun.  He dies and the cops arrest the gang members.  I liked this ending and thought it was perfect.  Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite actors and he displayed it in this movie.
       Taken was an extraordinary movie because of one reason, Liam Neeson.  Liam Neeson played a father whose daughter gets kidnapped in Italy.  The kidnappers take girls and make them prostitutes.  He goes on a rampage to get her back and is pretty B. A..  He kills countless amounts of people and eventually gets his daughter back after a seemingly easy butt whooping.  I am anxious to see Taken 2;  It has recently come out in theaters.  Based on the reviews it is very good.

E4-Little Stallion

I cannot wait to have a son.  I would hope he would be just like me.  I would give him unconditional love.  He would be intelligent and learn to play many different sports.  His name would be Stallion Bruce Wayne Darrow and he would get all the chicks.  All the kids would want to be his friend and he would claim the nicknames "Joe Cool" or "Billy Bad".  I would enjoy watching him grow up and play sports.  I would be his number one fan.  I Joe Gawron-tee that I would not miss any of his sporting events.  I would not spoil him, but he would have a very relaxing lifestyle.  I would play catch with him everyday until his hands were as good as mine.  He will have pretty much all the same wonderful qualities as me.  That means that he will also be a stud.  I feel bad for all of the friends he is going to have because he will be better than all of them at everything he does.  They will get angry and frankly, he will not care.  This reminds me of my life a little bit.  Austin Zelasko tries to compete with me in many things and every chance I get, I crush him.  He gets very agitated and he starts to cry and mutter to himself, "I can't ever beat him, and it's not fair!" Then he storms off and tries to beat his sister in something, in order to make himself feel better.  Young Stallion will be able to eat like a champ as well.  I cannot say that his father will own a restaurant, but he will eat 24/7 like I do.  Every holiday, his family will need to make extra food in order to keep up with his appetite.  He will be the president. Boom!

E3-Thanksgiving Food

I absolutely love Thanksgiving for one reason.  That reason is the food.  Thanksgiving reminds me of a gigantic feast where everyone has piles of food on their plates.  Well that's what my plate looks like.  If you are a vegetarian, cover up your ears for this next part (Mr. Currin).  I always go for the turkey drum sticks because I am able to grip the thing in one hand and go to town.  I eat both white meat and dark meat, they both taste so great.  But, there is one thing I cannot eat, and that is dry, disgusting turkey.  It tastes bad even with gravy.  I pile up mounds of mashed potatoes and gravy and then put a bunch of corn on the mound as well. It tastes extremely delicious.  I usually eat two to three helpings of food on Thanksgiving.  I must wear pants with an elastic waistband in order to be comfortable because my stomach sticks out too far from all of the food.  I usually have Thanksgiving at my house, so all of my family comes over and we feast!  Also, I have it at my grandmother's house on the other side of the family.  That means I eat two dinners on Thanksgiving. It's great.  I think I gain about six pounds over the weekend of Thanksgiving.  My mother's mashed potatoes are the greatest mashed potatoes in the world.  They are so creamy and delicious I could only eat mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and not be upset.  Also, the corn is a nice touch to the mashed potatoes when you mix everything together.  It tastes so good.  I would be happy if I had this dinner every week.  The other holidays have some really great food, but Thanksgiving without a doubt has the greatest spread of food.
