End Of The World!!!!!!

Hello.  This is my last blog before the new year... 2012! Some say it will be the end of the world as we know it. Personally, I don't believe this to be true.  But, if it came to pass that the world actually ended in 2012, this would be what I want my last day to be like. 

Wake up and have a all-you-can-eat, buffet style breakfast.  Then go for a nice walk with friends.  Maybe get together with some of them and have party together.  Then I would fly to Switzerland and do some snowboarding.  I would have to be flown there in a helicopter, because I want to try jumping out of helicopter and landing on my board.  That is one of my life goals. Then, if any of you have seen The Polar Express (which I highly recommend for those who haven't), I would work on hole punching words really fast on a ticket/piece of unneeded paper.  That is also on my bucket list. 

Now, after this, I would estimate that it would be around 1:00pm.  So in the afternoon, I would learn how to fly a plane, and then fly around the world in the fastest plane known to mankind!

That is how I would want to spend my last day.  But like I said, I don't think the world will end, so i won't have to worry about it at all.

Well, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.  Until the new year...FFF

It's Outrageous!!!!

I love Christmas!!!!!  I am definitely a who over the grinch.  But I honestly hate what they are doing to the holiday.

I don't think we should have to change what we say just to please someone who doesn't say it.  Some people want "Merry Christmas" gone and that we should say "Happy Holidays" instead.  I do not like that idea at all.  I want to be able to say "Merry Christmas" without having to be worried that someone will take offense.  If someone celebrates something else, like Hanuka, then I respect that.  But in my mind, "Merry Christmas" is a term that applies to all types of celebrations.  It just sums up the holiday into two words. 

I for one will keep saying "Merry Christmas".  It is what I grew up with and it is forever engraved in my mind.

But again I do love Christmas.

Until next time...FFF

Shift!!!!

So today we have to write about a odd news story.  I will be writing today about a funny news story.

So on December 2, two people were trying to carjack a car.  This happened in St. Petersburg, Florida.  The car they were trying to steal was a 2007 Nissan.  They apparently pulled a gun on the occupants inside, a 45 year-old male and his 23 year-old girlfriend, and told them to get out of the car or they would shoot. They also wanted money and a cell phone.  The couple got out of the car.

The two would-be carjackers didn't get far.  Turns out neither of them could drive stick.  So they gave up and ran away.  They still got a cell phone, but they did not get any money from the couple. 

It turns out that the two suspects were more interested in the phone than in the car.  Apparently it was a smartphone, although it might not mean anything to the story.

If you would like to take a look for yourself, then here is where I found it:  http://rumors.automobilemag.com/would-be-carjackers-foiled-by-stick-shift-92247.html

As for me, I think this story is hilarious.  I can't drive stick but I would know whether or not a car was automatic or standard once I looked inside.  The two people who tried to take the car were not too bright, in my opinion.

Well that is all for this post.  Until next time... FFF

So today on this chilly fall morning, I am supposed to write about how I feel about poetry, as well as read some poems and comment on them.  So sit back, relax and get ready.

I do not like poetry much at all.  I guess I could say it is a love-hate relationship.  I do really like poetry that is funny.  The more humourous the poem, the better I like it.  But I do not like other types of poetry a whole lot.  Some are pretty cool but most I find a little too much.  Like most poems about war, love, and other stuff like that.  I won't lie, I do like some poems that I find extremely creative, but most of those are too serious for me.  I'm sure that someone else might describe my relationship differently if they saw me with poetry, but that is how I see it.

So the first poem I read was called Bats.  I don't know why it is called that, but it is a decent poem.  It is well written and it does sound good but I can't really relate to it so it doesn't hold any meaning for me.  But the author uses a lot of very discriptive words, in a very good context.  It adds a sense of importance to me. 

The second one I read was called Lullabye.  This one I didn't like at all.  It was long and it didn't make much sense to me.  It was well written, I guess, but i just couldn't relate to it at all.  It was too long for me because I couldn't relate.

Well are my thoughts on poetry.  Until next time...FFF

Now I know it might seem childish, but banana's would make a great phone.  They are a great size for any hand.  And just think.... after you are done the call, you can eat the banana and just get a new one later when you need to make another call. 

The reason I am doing this is because I have.  My teacher told us to look at this one blog and then do something like it on our blog.  It took a long time for me to think of this one.  We had to share a secret by putting it on a picture, so I chose to do this one because I really couldn't figure out another one I could do. 

But still, a banana would make an excellent phone.  You wouldn't even need to call it a banana phone.  You could call it the "Healthy Phone" or something like that.  It is a good idea that someone should invent.  If someone would ever make a banana phone, they would be my hero!

Now as for my secret, I will let you decide whether or not I still pretend to use a banananana as a phone.  Until next time... FFF

How About Those Leafs!!!!!!!

So the Toronto Maple Leafs are off to an amazing start to the 2011/2012 season!!!  Their record is 5-2-1 and for the Leafs, considering the last few seasons, that record is fantastic.  They are first in their division with 11 points.

They started off the season with a win against their rival Montreal Canadians.  This was a big start to the season because, if I remember correctly, the Canadians were supposed to be a really hard team to beat this year.  This really gave the Leafs confidence.

They then went on to beat another rival of theirs, the Ottawa Senators.  The battle of Ontario was nerve-racking.  Toronto was up by four goals to starts the third period.  The Senators battled back by scoring 5 goals, but the Leafs scored two more to edge them by one goal.

They then went on to win 2 more games.  They lost in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche and they lost in regulation twice.

Then they played the Canadians again and beat them. 

Overall it has been an excellent start to the season!!  I just hope they can keep it up.

Until next time... FFF

Let's Do The Timewarp... Again!!

So I had one of those big toy dump trucks when I was little.  It was so awesome! I actually had two and they were so much fun.  Me and my friends had so much fun with them.

My friends and me used to sit in the back and have races.  I remember hitting the wall a lot and my mom yelling at me a lot.  I argued that the dents made the wall look more authentic, but she didn't understand.  Actually they weren't so much dents as they were holes.

I had a plastic one and a metal one.  I was in the metal one so the wall really didn't stand a chance.  Neither did my brother.  His crying was so loud that i wanted to hit him again (hey I was 5) but I didn't.  It was quite tempting though.

I also remember when I fell asleep in the back of my plastic one.  I had just got it for my birthday and I was tired.  So I sat in the back and fell asleep.  My parents took a picture (sorry I don't have it for the blog) and it looked pretty funny.

I still have those dump trucks today. I don't fit in them anymore though...

Anyways that's a flashback to my childhood.  Until next time... FFF

NO RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate it.  When you have spare last period on a friday, and no way to get home... it sucks. 

I have spare last period today and i don't have a vehicle.  It makes me sad.  I want to go home early because I need to pack for this weekend.

I am going to a convention this weekend called Acquire The Fire.  It always used to be in Hamilton but this year it is in Toronto.  It starts tonight and then ends tomorrow night.  It is actually so much fun.

On friday night they have part of a drama.  The people in it are pretty awesome.  Then they have a speaker who speaks to everyone about something.

On saturday they have three more sessions.  Right before dinner, there is a concert.  It is pretty awesome. 

But anyways, that is tonight and I am leaving for it at about 4... so I need to pack!  My bus gets to my bus stop at around 3:20 and since we are meeting at my church at 3:45 to get ready to leave, it really doesn't give me much time to get ready.  I wish i could have drove a vehicle to school today but I couldn't get one because my mom needed the van. 

Oh well.  Thats my rant.  Looks as though I'll be taking the bus home...



Until next time... Sienara( and no that's probably not spelled right)

Facing The Giants

Hello again,

So I'm going to tell you about a movie that has really inspired me.  That movie is called "Facing the Giants."

It is a movie about a high school football team from a private Christian school and their journey from being the worst team in the league to going beyond expectations.  The movie is also follows the coach's journey as he struggles in his personal life as well as handling and managing the football team.  It also follows a young boy who is new to the town and tries out for the team.

The movie shows what happens if you give your all to God.  Throughout the movie, the coach is praying for the best and God is answering in amazing ways. 

There is one realy powerful scene in the movie that shows what can happen when you give your all to something.  This one guy on the team is being a jerk and doesn't think that the team can win.  The coach makes him do a drill where he has to crawl with a teammate on his back.  He feels the burn but keeps going on, with encouragement from his coach.  His teammates look on in awe as he makes it to the endzone... the other endzone! he makes it across the whole field while carrying 160 pounds on his back!  It is probably the most motivational scene I have ever seen in a movie.

Well that is all I will say about this movie.  But I strongly recommend it to everyone.  It is great movie and I think everyone would benifit from watching it.

Until I write again... Farewell.

A Brilliant Beginning

Hola!  This is my first blog so I will tell you a little bit about myself.  My name is Josh Jutzi and I am 17 years old.  I am in grade 12 at Waterloo-Oxford DSS.  I live in "the Burg"(aka. New Hamburg) with my family.  I have a fantastic little dog named Wally who is almost 2 years old.

I am in writer's craft and it is a good course... so far.  I hope my ideas come out more fluently by taking this course.

I have quite the imagination so just go with whatever I say and you'll love it.

That is all for now.  Stay tuned.
