These are some of my favorite quotes from the movie Forrest Gump! I would have to say that this movie is the best movie of all times. If you have not seen this movie then you absolutely have to go out and see it immediatly!

Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, I got you some ice cream.
[voice wavering]
Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, ice cream.

Forrest Gump: I gotta find Bubba!

Forrest Gump: Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere.

Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?
Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: I’m here to try out my sea legs.
Forrest Gump: But you ain’t got no legs, Lieutenant Dan.
Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: [mildly irritated, but understanding] Yes… yes, I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot!

Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

Forrest Gump: “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

Forrest Gump: [running] I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours.
[he stops and turns around]
Young Man Running: Quiet, quiet! He’s gonna say something!
Forrest Gump: [pause] I’m pretty tired… I think I’ll go home now.

Jenny Curran: Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you’re gonna be?
Forrest Gump: Who I’m gonna be?
Jenny Curran: Yeah.
Forrest Gump: Aren’t-aren’t I going to be me?

Jenny Curran: Run, Forrest! Run!

Forrest Gump: Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots.

                 These are just some of the quotes from this movie. I find them to be really funny. You might not understand these quotes if you have never seen this movie. If you have seen this movie then I hope you enjoy all of these quotes and can get a laugh or two out of them. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I did.

 I love this poem and I wanted to share it with everyone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap, 

 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. 

 

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 

 

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; 

 

“Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” 

 

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

 

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. 

 

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. 

 

His eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; 

 

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. 

 

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; 

 

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

 

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

1. I am thankful for my family for always being there and always understanding me and when we get together and play games and laugh our heads off.

2. My incredible friends. They are the best people in the world, they always cheer me up when I am down and we like to goof off alot! They can also relieve stress. 

3. I am thankful for my house, my food and my car. I am glad to know that I have a place to go after school and to know that I have food to eat and a car to get me places wehre I need to go.

4. My bed! What would I do without my bed? I wouldn’t know… I love to sleep and my bed is so comfortable. It’s my little relaxing place.

5. Red Bull. This stuff is amazing whenever I am feeling tired I just go out and buy me some Red Bull. This stuff can get me so energized it’s crazy.

6. Pixie Sticks. I love this sugary treat. It tastes good and it also gets me energized and hyper, I would say it’s a good mixture with Red Bull, when combined you turn into a huge ball of energy.

7. The shoes for my feet are amazing because without them I would have cold feet and cuts all over them. But with shoes they protect my feet from rough ground and the cold.

8. I am thankful for the clothes in my closet because without them I wouldn’t have anything to wear and they help keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

9. Movies, they help keep me entertained and show me how some people live their lives and how people can change.

10. And of course I am thankful for Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for my sins!

If you had to choose between Optimus Prime or Bumblebee who would you pick?  Optimus Prime is a Peterbilt semi-truck with blue painting and red flames. He is the leader of the autobots and he fights for all life including human life. Bumblebee is a chevy camaro and he is a little riskier than the other autobots, it is said to be that he is like the “younger brother” of the group. He isn’t as big as some of the autobots but he is just as brave. If you asked me on who I would pick I wouldn’t be able to tell you because I like them both. I couldn’t choose between them because I think that they are both pretty cool and they can kick butt.

If your a positive person and talk appropriately that is what is in a difital footprint. I think you should always use your name and your photo so people know what you look like and it looks classy. My friends are internet savvy and they show me the hole deal of the internet. I include my name and a little bit about me but not too much and I never tell them my phone number. So guess what I can’t find myself on the internet so I am pretty sure I dont have a digital footprint. You could try google but I dont think you will find anything.

Brooks & Dunn – Hillbilly Deluxe          

Well, up in the backwoods, down in the holler,
 Ol’ boys feelin’ like a dog on a collar.
 Keepin’ that chain pulled tight.
 Waitin’ on saturday night.
 Put on the smell good, put on Skynyrd,
 Head into town like a NASCAR winner.
  Cruisin’ back and forth to the Tasty Freeze.
  Everywhere you look all you see is,

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks.
Big timin’ in a small town.
Stirrin’ it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

Couple cute sweet things, drivin’ a fast back.
Shoot ‘em a coons’ smile.
Hopin’ that they smile back, “Hey, baby, what’s your name?”
Burn a little rubber when the red lights change.

Here come the blue lights, here come barnie.
hide all the beer y’all, let’s move the party.
Gotta go, but that’s alright.
Do it all again next Friday night.

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-’em-up trucks.
Big timin’ in a small town.
Stirrin’ it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

–Instrumental break.–

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-’em-up trucks.
Big timin’ in a small town.
Stirrin’ it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe

I will take you threw a day in Howard’s eyes.  Howard woke up at 6:05 a.m. and he was laying in bed and wanted two go downstairs so he decented down the stairs into the kitchen. When Howard reached the kitchen he wanted his iPod. He went searching for it but didn’t seem to find it. He said to himself, “How could I loose my iPod?” Well after he had said this he gave up and excepted that he would have to look for it later. This effected him greatly because he listens to music everyday before he goes too school. Howard went back to his room and started to get dressed. He put on his t-shirt and his pants and he noticed that his pants were a little lose so he had to put on a belt. He then decided that he was all ready late for school so he rushed out the door and headed his way towards school. As he was driving along he realized that he forgot to do some of his homework. He whipped out his notebook and got to work. Now this is a very stupid thing to do when driving but I suppose Howard is very good at it. He was so busy doing his homework that he went farther than he was supposed to. He had to turn around in order to get back to school. He finally arrived at school and he was 15 minutes late. Of course he couldn’t find any parking because all of his class mates had parked they’re cars in all of the good parking spots. He had to park two blocks away! This made Howard very mad. As he was walking into school Howard saw something shining in the grass. He bent down and picked up a sit of keys. He wondered who’s keys they we’re. He then decided to turn the missing keys into the office and he knew that they would take care of them. As he was on his way to class he met the principle in the hallway. Howard was always scared of the man and the second he saw the principle walking towards him, he started to walk in the opposite direction and started to quicken his pace. Howard made it to class without having to talk to the ruler of the school. He sat down in his seat and starting talking to his friend. As they were talking among themselves the teacher noticed that they weren’t paying any attention to the lesson and they ended up receiving a detention. Halfway thorough the day Howard got hungry and to his surprise it was time for lunch.  He ate a hot dog and a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich and he had a peace of pie for desert, and he thought it was a pretty descent peace of pie. He then was full from his meal and headed back to class. As Howard was writing down some notes the led in his pencil broke, he then went searching threw his bag to find another one, but of course their wasn’t one. He then had to use a pen. After his long day at school he was excited for soccer practice. While they were doing one of there drills Howard got knocked in the head and was no longer conscience. He had to be rushed to the hospital to get his head examined. Once at the hospital the doctors and nurses were asking many questions, this was all over whelming for him and made it hard for him to breath. The doctors and nurses left him alone for a while and talked between themselves. The doctors and nurses came back into the room and said that he was fine and that he could go home whenever he felt like it.  So after waiting awhile he got up and started to walk out the door. As he was walking away he saw a pencil sitting on a counter he then thought that he had to have it. he took the pencil and shoved it into this pocket. As he got into his car he started to notice that his counscious was eating at him because he knew that stealing was wrong. He felt so guilty that he ran back inside and put the pencil back were he found it, he did this so fast that no one even saw him come back inside.  As he arrived home his mother made him set down and explain where he had been. He then explained his hole day and his mother wasn’t too worried that he went to the hospital because she knew that Howard would be ok. But after she thought for awhile she yelled at Howard and said, “Your grounded!” Howard couldn’t understand this so he asked for an explanation. His mother gave him the reason and said it was because he came home late. Howard was so mad he stomped to his room. Once in his room he started to look at some of the pictures hanging up in his room. Some were of the mountains and people skiing but his favorite one was of the dessert and all of the sand dunes and the cacti in the picture. He liked this picture because it brought him piece because he had once been there and had a really good time.  Howard became tired and changed into his pajamas. He went back downstairs and got a glass of milk and while he was drinking his milk he spotted something square and shiny and he noticed that it was his iPod, he couldn’t believe that he had put his iPod in the cupboard. He was so glad that he had found it. Howard went up to his room, crawled into bed, put on his headphones and starting to go to sleep. Now you have been through a day in Howard’s eyes.

****As you can tell the bolded words in this story don’t always make sense. The bolded words are commonly mistaken every day. Our assignment was to write a blog using some commonly mistaken words and I chose to use them incorrectly. Some of my other classmates wrote correctly so I am sure that their posts make more sense. I hope you enjoyed my little story and how Howard’s day went.

My opinion on plagiarism is that people shouldn’t plagiarize. I can see why some people do plagiarize because they can’t write or are too lazy. Maybe they just get freaked out and and just cheat. It is pretty easy to cheat off the internet but I think that it is a good idea that people are trying to prevent this by building websites that tell if a student has plagiarized or not. I think plagiarism is bad and people should try to restrain themselves from doing this.

My favorite interest would have to be SNOW! I absolutely love snow, people ask me why I love snow so much and I can’t really come up with an answer other than that I was born in December and I absolutely love Christmas! I always wish for snow on my birthday. I love spending some of my time cutting snowflakes out of paper and making cool designs in them. You may think that I am crazy for liking snow but I can’t help it, I think that snow is the greatest thing in the world. There is no way that I will ever move somewhere warm because that would mean no snow, but yes I do like warm weather but there is just something about snow.
