Well, there are many things that I have to share. I will be going to a university next month. I need money because as you know, going to a university is expensive. I am an out of state student. The university is in maryland. I also got my diploma about a month ago. I was really happy. I also moved to a much better place. It is quiet, and it is only me. I have a new computer.

michael

Well, the king of pop is gone. As a boy, I used to play his music. It is very sad that this happened. He did a lot for music. There is not much I can say about him. I think he was a bit misunderstood. I feel really bad for him. I don't think he had someone to guide him. It is time to think. Time to help one another. We don't want more cases like michael's.

The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is always a great event to here every time it comes on. Year after year, it is the event that most people watch. For me, the only thing that is frustrating is that I cannot enjoy the game as I would like to. Today, I am glad that the Stealers one. It was the teem I chose before the big game started. I still want someone to explain to me two or three plays from this game, and a few commercials. All in all, this was a game to remember. The final result was 23 to 27. I wish I could say more about the game, but I am not able. However, The nachos that I had with the nice cold sangria were very good. Bruce Springsteen was great.

Fires in California

Wow, it has happened again as it has for years. There are four fires in southern California. Several freeways were shut down. One of them was closed because of a demonstration against prop 8 which eliminated marriage between people of the same gender.
One of these fires, started Friday night at 10 30. Another one, started about 9 AM.
My question is why have these people decided to continue with their demonstration? Now, there are more important things that need immediate attention. For example stopping the first fire before it spreads some more and damages more properties and people. As I have said before, at this moment, there are four fires going on. Unfortunately, the winds have not been helping us at all. They have been ranging from 45 to 70 miles an hour. Thousands of people have lost their homes, at least two fire fighters died, several people have been injured, and properties have been damaged. At this point, fire fighters are giving priority to those areas which have been affected most. People are angry because of this. They are seeing their houses go down in flames, and the fire fighters are not doing anything about it. My suggestion is that they fight the fire themselves. There have been stories about people fighting the fire not only to protect their house, but also to protect someone else's house. These people most than likely, have never met. I am glad that we still have heroes. I hope more people would help out instead of standing or sitting there asking why something is not being done.

Exciting day - or so I thought.

Yesterday, I went to pick up a friend at another friend’s house. After walking for a block or two, and getting something to eat,my helper and I finally got to the bus stop. I was already tired. This is because it too hot. To my right, there was a woman with a child, and to my left there was a radio playing RNB. A few minutes later, I heard this man saying, “Leave me alone.” He also said that he did not want to be bothered. As he kept on talking, his words started getting to me because he was cursing. I also heard that he was the one with the radio. The woman kept asking the child to not look at something. Well, it got too much when the man started looking at us. At this point, my helper called the police. My helper described the man as African American. He had a back pack and a small radio. He was dressed in black. When the bus came, the police had not arrived. If they ever did, I don’t know. When the doors of the bus opened, there was a discussion going on between the bus driver and another woman. I thought we were not going to be able to get on the bus because this woman was almost screaming. I am glad that we got in. The first thing I heard when I got on the bus was, “you need a man.” This is what the woman told the bus driver. We sat all the way back. The men were talking about it, and they wanted her out. When we thought that some peace had finally come, the woman started again, but she lowered her voice. I have experienced several cases like these two. Sometimes I wonder if these people are mentally ill. I just hope that they increase the money for psych wards. I hope they are not closing any because we need them.

News in California.

This morning I was on my computer. For a few minutes, I kept hearing a dog. I was wondering what was wrong, so I stopped what I was doing to listen carefully. I did not hear anything. The sound that I had heard was interesting. It sounded as if the dog was moving back and forth. When I went back to what I was doing, I felt OK. A few minutes had passed when I heard this rattling sound above me. I stopped again, and I sat to listen. When the sound got a little bit louder, I wanted to get up, but I did not because I thought it was something not important. As I sat there, I felt the floor shaking under me. For a few seconds, I was still trying to process what was going on. When I understood what it was, I attempted to shut down my computer. By the time that I was going to get covered, it had stopped shaking. I went to the living room to see if someone had some info, and they confirmed what I had already suspected. Then, I turned on the radio, and they were talking about what had occurred. They did not have anymore info than I did. I kept listening, and I found out that the earthquake was felt all across California and in Las Vegas. Its epicenter was in chino Hills which is 20 miles or so away from Los Angeles. Neither damages’ nor injuries were reported. I went to one of the other rooms to hear what the people on TV were saying. I heard different numbers for the magnitude of this earthquake. It was not until hours later that I found out that the earthquake was a 5.4. I think the last one that I experienced was in 2005 or 2006. I cannot remember the details of that one. I do remember the one that we had in 1994. I had to sleep in a car. Things were broken, and I think there were cracks on the walls of the apartments in the building that I was living in. When we got down stairs, there were two people. Hours later, my grandma told my family and me that a fight broke out between them. I am glad that I was not inside. That earthquake had a magnitude of 6.7. So, here are some things to have when the next one comes. Water, food for three days, a flashlight, an emergency kit, a radio, extra batteries, another bag pack with games, reading,, writing, and listening materials , an address book, and extra clothes. I am not sure if it was in that earthquake that one of my teachers told me that I had predicted that it was going to happen. She told me this when I got back to school. Apparently, I had made a prediction a few days earlier. I cannot remember saying that there was going to be one. However, a few weeks before today’s earthquake happened, I had to write 12 short phrases to tell a story. The other students had to do the same thing, but they had to use pictures. Here is what I wrote.
House with light on
House up down
Scared kid up room
House is dark
Kid screams
Man under table
Man is up
Man walks up
Man and kid run down
They fall
Wall falls on top
Man and Kid closed eyes.
That was supposed to be an earthquake. OK, I am not sure why I got the two events right. I will be looking out in the future after I write something like this again.

a Story that was not reported in the media.

On Friday, July fourth, five minutes before 12 P.M., Three men were standing in front of the LA convention center, and they were getting ready to cross the street. There was a sign that said that an animation show was taking place at the convention center. The convention center had been already opened for a few minutes. It was easy to see this because the sign gave the information of how many days was the convention was going to last, what days was the convention going to be opened, as well as at what time it was going to be opening and closing. Out of the Thousands of people that were still waiting in line to get in, there was a man with curly hare. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Also, he was wearing vans shoes. The other two men could not be identified. The sun was scorching hot. Because there was almost no wind, it felt as if it was hotter than it really was. Both eyes were hard to keep open because of the heat. Sweat started to trickle down foreheads. For a minute, it felt as if everything was spinning. The Cars were going in every direction. Someone was saying something that could not be understood. Even when he said it the second time, it was still very hard to understand him. The person whom was talking was a police officer, and He was using a megaphone. From a distance, Three sheriffs on motorcycles came flying north up Figueroa avenue. They Stopped at Pico Boulevard preparing to block the street off. The next moment, a car was honking at one of the police cars. After a few seconds, others joined in. They were honking because the sheriffs were already blocking the intersection. One of the men said to another, “They are honking at one of the police officer.” All of a sudden, one police siren was heard. As it got closer, it became hard to know what to do. The man with the curly hare covered his ears. As that sound blended in with the honking sound, it became clear that unlike a symphony, this was painful to hear. When the siren was heard very close, every other sound was drowned by the deafening sound of the siren. Not a minute had passed, when one siren after another started to be heard. At that point, one man, who seemed to be in his 40’s, took out his camera and took a picture of the seen in front of him. Three LAPD vehicles and four CHp sheriff units came down. Two of the sheriff vehicles stopped. One stopped beside the blew line tracks, and One stopped at the California hospital. They were driving Over 60 miles an hour. Moments later, an ambulance with two sheriff vehicles behind and another to in front of it, came rushing to the seen as well. The four vehicles were escorting the ambulance. The last thing that was seen was some of the sheriffs moving all traffic away from the area. I am sorry I am not able to include a picture. It came out blurry. I wanted to know what had happened, but nothing was reported in the media. To think I could have been a stringer!
