Four traits about me are strong, weak, loving, hateful.
Brooke, Kelsie, Bradon.
Love of taking pictures of me, loves school, loves food.
Who feels joy, happiness, and the need to eat.
Who needs friends, family, and more food.
Who gives stuff, jokes, and laughter.
Who fears Cats, cliffs,, and my grandma.
Who would like to feel lava, banana flavored apples, and chain links.

Following Blogs
"Following Blogs"
By: Riley Stonely
Blog #1
Link: http://onthefire.com/
This blog has a bunch of stories and little topics that deal with Major League Soccer. The design is kind of fun; there are links to different websites. The focus is on soccer and peoples opinions of soccer and different events of soccer games. The writing style of this blog is a little odd. I don't really relate to it and its kind of confusing. The grammar in this blog is correct, but I don't know how effective this blog is at getting their message out. I think that this blog targets anybody who cares about soccer. There is not much about the author, but he must like soccer.
Blog #2
Link: http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/
The design of this blog is kind of plain, but the pictures add a spark to it. The focus of the blog is to give people a chance to find all the great goals scored by soccer players around the world. The content is about stories of goals and highlights that match the focus of the blog. I love the way they express each story. The grammar is correct and well. I think that they display the message in a very good way. The web-sight audience is anybody who is interested in soccer.

Your Destiny Awaits
"Your Destiny Awaits"
By: Riley Stonely
During the number of years of schooling that I have gone through, everything in my life has been a checklist. Especially at school. The normal routine of doing an assignment, turning it in, and getting a grade flows naturally to me. It has only been during the past two years that I have realized the importance of learning and not so much the grade. I was born to do many great things that are still to come, and fulfill some of them. One of the biggest things that helps me fulfill my destiny is determination. Determination and the right mind is the key to how I succeed.
During the early years of my life I was like any kid. Self-centered and demanding. Everything was about me. Now thanks to the help of many teachers and wonderful parents, I understand the meaning of sharing and caring. That is one part of my destiny. I believe that I am destined to help others and be one of the many saints in people's life's. Everyone can be just like me. We all have the potential to become something great, and sometimes "great" means being the person who sits in the shade and lays back to enjoy the joy of others. I feel like that is who I am. Others grow up to be a superstar or movie star. Those people are great, and some of them earn their way up to become great. Others follow their hearts and never quite. That is what I am doing. I am determined to never give up on anything and to help others realize that they can do the same by following my heart.
The only thing stopping me from becoming great is the normal routine of a check list. Throwing the check list out can change the way that I look at every aspect of my life. I can also influence others, and help them to receive determination.
Many people hate their parents and say that they "don't understand." I feel like my parents are a big factor of my success. They support me and help me with everything. They are a big help in determining who I am. The next time that you feel like your parents "don't understand," just look into the future and try to picture what the outcome of the situation will turn out to be. If you don't see what they are trying to influence, then its up to you who you become. Try to make the most of it.

Becoming Social
"Becoming Social"
By: Riley Stonely
How Can you use your talents and interests to "join the conversation" online?
One of the biggest parts of becoming more social is to use your skills. People are always saying, "Just be yourself." That is completely true. If you pretend to be someone your not then other people will think that that is who you are. It turns out that everybody is in an awkward situation where everyone is uncomfortable because they feel like they have to be like you. "Join the conversation online" can also refer to Facebook or twitter. I don't do much of either of those, so I don't know much about them. I have heard that they are great to connect with people you don't see very often. You can use your talents and interests to "join the conversation" by becoming friends with people on Facebook and chat with them the way you would, and talk about things you like. Maybe they will enjoy it. If not then you can just talk to them about what they like. That is how I think you can "join the conversation."
