I like alot of the main stream horror movies. Im into things that could acually happen, not something that people take way to far. I think for the most part the simplest ones are the ones that people are truely scared of because it makes them look behind there shoulder and freaky out in the dark. I really like the grudes and saws. I also love watching both of the hills have eyes. im not really into vombies, monsters, or aliens none of them seem like horror movies just scifi. i think that horror movies let people kill that sick and twisted part of them out. everyone has atleast alittle bit of syco in them wether they want to admit it or not. i dont know what it is about horror movies that atracks so many people but for some reason people really do like being scared. i think everyone imagines what it would be like to go through having someone trying to kill you and all your friends and what you would acually do. atleast everyones should know if someone is trying to kill you to turn around because they are always behind you.

Whenever I hear "the boys are back in town" I remember going dirtbiking with all my friends. one day me and my friend were watching navy seals, and the song came on. we both decided to get on our 4wheelers and race around in the snow and kept singing it. it sounds weird now but it was alot fun when i was 8. so from then on whenever we would ride together which was about every week. would always sing it. eventually our other friends caught on. so there would be about 6 kids riding around this big rock quarry singing "the boys are back in town" my buddy Tim Leasard would always were his iPod when he rode and wasn't like the rest of us so he never sang but still whenever I hang out with any of them i always remember that song.

i think people get tattoos and piercings to stand out from other people. most people don't want to be just like everyone else and having tattoos and piercing used to be the best way to do that. now everyone wants them because of Miami ink and the other 10 shows that show people getting horrible tattoos just so they can be one camera. alot of people get ink now for because the say its art. but that's not why tattoos were started. tattoos used to be worn be warriors to instill fear in there enemies and show that the person with them demands respect. people used them in prison to show the higharcy of the gang they were in specific tats meant certain things. old school Latinos did the same thing every tattoo had a certain meaning behind it and if you got the ink just because you wanted it you'd get your ass kicked. Bikers are one of the most commonly know with ink. if you see a guy with a comb web with a spider in it means he killed in jail. people in the military have always been getting tattoos but for the most part you don't notice them because you cant be active if you have a tattoo that your uniform wont cove. i have one tattoo right now. its a Celtic cross on my rib cage. i got for my cousin who passed away on a ATV accident. i always thought id go out in a way like that. Ive been in a good amount. so i got to remind myself to calm down.

I'm not a strong writer. i don't like to write or come with idea to write about. however i believe that when i can choose my own topic to write about that i can make a good flowing paper, that gets my point across. At my high school we did alot of writing and reviewing and i could never really understand how to make a good paper but as long as we got to pick the topic i could get a descant grade. whenever the teacher assigns a topic i usually just try to fill in the paper and end up with alot of run on sentences and usually drift away from the main idea. most of the paper would have nothing to do with the topic of the paper. or i would repeat the same idea multiple times just using different words. i never really understood why i have trouble writing papers. I'm great at arguing with my friends and i can easily get my point across when I'm talking but as soon as i have to put it on paper it sounds awful.
