In the article about surnames, it is saying that there has been a huge increase in hispanics coming into America and that there names have been moving from the 20s and 30s to the top 10. This hasn't suprised the demographers. Demographers are the man and women who do these searches and polls. It is also saying that there is a increase in postion for the name lee because that is a very common name in Asia and China and they have also been migrating over to the United States. I am not very suprised about this poll and how the hispanic and Asian names have increase over the past few years due to imigration. I don't think that this is a bad thing but i don't like how imigrants names are being put at the top of the list. This is saying to me that there are to many imigrants coming into the US and that we need to do something about it.

When i researched my last name in the data base i did get it in there. Britt, my last name, was ranked at 1,059, which is a lot lower than i thought it would have been at. Since 1990, Britt has gone down 181 places. I had know clue about any of these things for my name. I was very suprised to find that my last name was so low in the standings because i have heard my last name a lot. I am not that suprised that it has gone down a lot because there have been a lot more different names to come to the united states.

My family is from a lot of different countries but i don't know them. My mom's maiden name is Sharon. I do know that i have a relative that is 110 going on 111. I don't know a lot of history about my family, and i do think that i did have a great grandfather that fought in the World War II. There isn't really much to say about my family. We had some people that fought in wars and some really old relatives but that is it......

I can't wait for Christmas break. I am going to my grandparents house in Wayne county for Christmas day. I am also going to try and hunt as much as i can and bring in some good deer meat for Christmas day. Usually we have our Christmas party at either my house or my grandparents house. I love the Christmas break because I can get my energy back and relax. I am also hoping that my friend will take me to the eastern shore in Virginia because there is a lot of duck and deer up there to hunt.
One of the biggest things that i want is an itouch. I want this because my old ipod "fell" out of my pocket and the screen cracked. Now i have to use my dads and i want my own. Something else that i want is some hand wind breakers for my four wheeler. When I ride my four wheeler at night, my hands get really cold and i hate it. One other thing that i want is a gun holder for my four wheeler. This way when i go hunting, i can keep my gun instead of having to strap it to the four wheeler. The last thing i want for my four wheeler is a twist throttle. When i am riding a long distance, my thumb gets tired so. If i have this then i will not have to use my thumb, i will have to use my whole hand. I am also going to be giving to other people to. I don't know what i am going to be giving because i haven't got it.

The story was about a mother named Lori Drew that wanted to know about what Megan Meier's opinion on her daughter that lived 4 houses down from her. She created a myspace page that was a fake one. It was registered under a Josh Evens which Megan though was a real person. They talked in a flirty way for about a year and then one day "Josh" started saying horrible things to Megan. Megan got so upset that she ran into her closet and hung herself with a belt. Ms. Drew felt horrible about what she had done. When the police found out they could not do anything about it because there was no sentence for harassing someone over the computer. Then the Drews asked the Meier's to store a Foosball table and the Meier's agreed. There was so much fury in the Meier's that they took a sledge hammer and started hitting the table. Then they took that parts and threw them in the Drew's driveway. The reason that Lori wanted to know what Megan though about her daughter was because the daughters had recently stopped being friends because Megan moved to another school. Megan stopped being teased about her wait, lost 20 pounds, and joined the cheer leading team.
I think that the story is really bad. I think there should be a law against cruel harassment. If something like this happens, the court should be able to think of a consequence and use that against them. I also think that the court should also be more ready for this kind of thing because it happens a lot and there should be something done about it. Lori Drew should be put in jail because of verbal harassment. The police should have been able to arrest Ms Drew because this is something cruel and should not be able to do this.

I agree with Daniel. There is not a lot of good books these days, and the ones that are o.k. are like 50 years old. I think that there should be more young authors because they know what we like to read. Most of the books adult authors write are not good because they don't know what to right. The reason i don't like to read a lot is because all the books are no good. Some of the books are good but those are for girls only. There are no good boy books out there because the ones that are written are by adults and they don't know what they are doing.
If i were to write a big series of books for boys, i would write about a huge storm that destroyed or a time that i went and shot a big deer or something that would get his attention. I would also write about something that was a really funny thing, not some chezzy joke that i told in 1st grade. Boys like stuff that Jeff Foxworthy, Ron tater salad white, of Larry that cable guy says because that is crude and that is what makes boys laugh. If that was what they wrote now then there would be a lot more guys reading. The girls i wouldn't really have to worry about because they have all of there gossip and girly books.

I think that romeo and Juliet is very bizarre story. If they were like 40 or 50 and they have been married for a long time then it would be more appropriate because they would have been long time lovers instead of lovers that have been married for a couple of days. I think that there actions are a little drastic. I don't think that it was worth it. I don't really think that they love each other but the reason that they are "in love" is because they want to go against there parents and make them mad out of instinct. They killed themselves because they wanted to die beside each other so they will go to heaven together.

Teenagers are very impulsive. My parents usually say that teenagers don't think before they talk. That is a example of being impulsive. Teenagers are very impulsive. They usually do things without thinking about what the consequences could be and the fact that they could hurt sombody. I do think that teenagers are very impulsive because there minds haven't developed and they don't think or care about what could happen. There are some teenagers that are usually judged by the way they look as a bad person. Most of the time they are pretty good but some really can be a danger. I think that for the most part, teens are usually concidered unstable. A time when i acted on an impulse is sometimes my parents will say something that i don't want to do in a row and then they will say something that i would want to do, and i would automaticly say no becuase i was saying no for the ones before and then that one came up and my reaction was to say no.
