Well, in S.S., we have to write a blog on a person that either died or was born on the day you write your blog. Mine just so happens to be on Halloween, or October 31, This was in the year of 1968. The person I picked is a rapper called Vanilla Ice, or you may know him as the guy who sings ice ice baby. He’s not only a singer, but he’s an actor ( cool as ice they called him.) Anyway, he was born on Halloween. This person is who I dedicate this blog to because he brought this world a great song, his hard work, and his proformance. In the end, he’s a great rapper who brought this world sooo many good memories. The contribution that he has brought during that time period is the music many enjoy and the many  movies we enjoy, which occured in 1968.

This is one of my favorite holidays because you get to be whatever you want to be without someone judging you and you get free candy! How kool is that?! I <333 Halloween. So, if you’re reading this, what is your favorite holiday and what are you being for halloween?

         Today, I’m going to write about Walmart! Well, pretty much everyone knows what Walmart is, but not too much info. So, I e-mailed them on how it is like to work their and how much their workers get paid. Obviously they’re going to say all of the positive things by working at Walmart, but once you find out how much the cashiers get paid, your not going to think that Walmart is a great place to work. Walmart is great store and you can by a lot of things for a cheap price, but what about the workers? How do they feel about their saleries? Well, I think that their salaries are also cheap! Why work there when you can be setting a better example? I know that they need workers, but imagine if you can pick a different job. What if you get fired? Then where are you going to go? Whoever thinks that they’re set for their life and they have nothing better to do, they’re wrong! There is more to life!!! ( I’m talking about someone who has no skills or WHAT SO EVER!) 

       However, Walmart is also doing or affecting more!They are importing goods from China or foreign countries and they don’t even care about our own country! Lots of American companies are closing because Walmart imports from these foreign countries. Although it is not entirely their fault because of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement.), Walmart does have a lot to do with it.

This is their response to me ( in my own words.): I will update this when they respond me. SORRY! It will be soon!

If you would also like to contact them, click here

after you click on the link, just click on “Help” on the Walmart site. Then under “contact us” click on the link that says,” Wal-mart stores contact information.” Then just click e-mail, phone, or mail! Then you can contact them with the info they provide.

    Today, I wanted/ had to look up some other blog. I found this: http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2007/egg_from_makers_.html

 How I found that out was that I went to google and it brings you to this blog when you type in: blog+eggs. Then I clicked the first link that appered after I pressed ” search.” So, I actually just typed in something ramdom but then it lead me to this website that shows you how to make egg crafts! It’s so cool!

 The blog that I read wasfun to read and it wasn’t really a blog post, it was more like directions on how to make egg designs. The blogs I considered was the really cool one that I gave you a link to. What you can learn, and what I did learn, was how to make lego eggs. It’s a hard boiled egg that is designed like a lego. A thought on this is that you can make your own egg however you like. It gave me some ideas for Easter!!!

“Cyenobite reminded me about the great Easter eggs dyed with onion skins project for this Sunday if you’re in to the Easter thing….”

Why I chose this quote from the blog, I relized that it was interesting because I’ve never heard of an onion dyed easter egg and I learned a lot more things out of this blog! I suggest that you check this blog out so you can do the neat projects they have for you!!!

P.S. Sorry, I couldn’t leave a comment to the blogger because you had to be a member and I’m not. They want your E-Mail to be a mem, but I don’t think that it’s okay. Sorry!!!

This is an example of one of the ways to do some egg decorating!

                Have you ever been to Saratoga Springs? well, i have. This place is awesome! Especially when you go into the town! The town has many little shops and also, they have many places to visit! There are statues, stores, and many places to have family fun. I went to Saratoga because my cousin had her Batmitzhah, even though I’m not jewish! Obviously, she is Jewish, but I still had to go. That’s okay though. I would go there even if I didn’t have to do something there. Also, it’s close to New York City! what’s 1 of your vacations?

      On one October weekend, our family went to Cape Cod. There, we did a lot of stuff like going to the beach, going to different towns, and even going on bike rides. This was fun because we went with our other family members. That was: My aunt, my uncle, and my cousin. My cousin also has a brother, which is my other cousin, but he is in Florida, at college. So, since he was in college, he couldn’t come to Cape Cod with us. We saw my favorite light house, which when I was little, I called it my castle! It still is to me today. <3 (Pause to say,” ahhhhhhhhh!” like you just saw a cute puppy.) ok, so now i get to tell you about the whale watch! We saw about 4 different whales that were all friendly!!! We got lucky and thank god that I was taking the pictures of the whales because they were right in front of me. Also, when my sister went to take a picture of one of the whales, she almost dropped the camera in the water!!! What are we going to do with her?

             I had a great time at Capecod! If you have ever been there, comment back on this! I’m willing to hear every detail of your trip! Don’t be shy!!!

      okay. This weak, we had to write a post about something we would like to find out more about. So, I said to myself that I really don’t know how to play lacrosse. I’ve always heard of it, but never really took the time to figure out the rules and the object of the game. This is what I found out if you really want to know…

Some of the rules:

• each team must keep at least four players on the feild. ( including the goalie.)
• Between, “periods,” teams switch sides.
• center face-offs are also used after a goal and at the start of each quarter.( there are 4 quarters.)
• Each game is about an hour not including breaks.
• Players can run, pass, and catch the ball with their stick, but not their hands. Only the goalie can.

 People call it the fastest game on two feet!

      The podcast that I listed to was about drug testing and how it’s affecting the world. Many people in our world are starting to use drugs a lot AGAIN! You would think they would know by know that it’s affecting our lives. People who don’t even use drugs are being affected by it too. say if there was a drunk driver and he or she hit someone walking on the side of the road and they died? It’s their fault because of drugs or alcohol. If you listen to the music, it talks about drugs. I like the music but not the lyrics. Maybe sometimes. The point is that the world is getting involved with stuff we’ve already been involved with… that stuff we are getting involved with again isn’t good either.
