Coffee: Dream or Nightmare?

There's something that I cannot come to an agreement with myself about. I started drinking coffee a couple of years ago, and I absolutely love it. However technically, I am not of the age group where coffee is suppose to be consumed, therefore I am afraid that it will be a problem (or that what everyone tells me about drinking coffee as a minor is true). I really don't see the problem with it, but I guess it is worth looking into.

Naruto Review: It Finally Came!!!

So the game finally came on Friday, December 21st, and I was eager to open it. I couldn't believe that it was finally in the palm of my hand! I even recorded myself opening it, putting the disc into the Wii, and watching the opening credits. I knew it was about to be awesome. :-p

Spontaneous Happiness

So last Sunday, I was having a not-so-positive day. I had something on my mind that made me want to lie in bed all day, and on top of that it was cloudy!! So all in all, it was dark and gloomy internally (my mindset), and externally (the weather).

What is a Christmas Tree Anyway?

Just like the average American household, mines has a Christmas tree. It's well decorated and as festive as ever, and it brings out the Christmas spirit in everyone here. But just the other day, I had this epiphany: what is the meaning of Christmas trees? After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I had no idea, and got frustrated.

A World of Algorithms

I'm sure everyone's familiar with the tricky, complicated colorful three dimensional puzzle known as the Rubik's cube. As far as the media informs you, the average person cannot solve it, unless they're perceived as some sort of an intellectual.

Lord of the Flies: Inside the Book

So recently, I had to read a novel of my choice (from the list of novels selected for my class) in a certain amount of time. The book would have 2 quizzes to it and a novel project in the end. Out of the selection of books, I hose Lord of the Flies. I mainly chose it because my mother suggested it to me since she read it when she was in high school. Another reason I read this was because it was the least depressing out of the other novels (a few of the other ones were A Separate Peace, Jane Eyre, and To Kill a Mockingbird). I tried to read this book years ago, but I just couldn't get around to it. I guess it just had to be assigned to me (I don't know), but I finally read it.

The Pros and Cons of Video Games

This is something of a follow up to my pros and cons about television. It's basically the same idea, just with a more specific topic: video games. Video games began with the Atari, which includes a joystick with a red button, and games with 8-bit audio that, to the average person today, is pretty basic and easy to use.

Waiting for Naruto

So the other day, my mother ordered me a game that I wanted for a while. It's called Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. It's suppose to be like the other two, but with new costumes for the characters, new jutsus (I'll explain later), ad a new story mode. I am aware of the many bad reviews of this game, but I'm not that serious of a gamer to care about why it is worse than the other Clash of Ninjas. I want this game for a number of reasons:

My Future in Baking

So the other day was my mother's birthday. As a request, I made her a cake. Sounds simple enough. So after doing my Latin, I went in the kitchen, got my supplies together, and began to bake a cake.

In my head, this is what it looked like:

The Pros and Cons of Television

Television has been around for years now. It started out as a gigantic box with black and white images, and progressed into these almost flat devices with high quality graphics and anything else in between. You can do a lot of things with your television as far as what you watch, how much of it you watch, or literally what you do with the TV itself (like use it to put your candles on, or to collect yarn, but really it depends on the TV). However, as far as what you can watch on it, there can be some benefits to it, and there can be serious defects.
