baseball

When anyone plays baseball they always want a good, hard hit. When I play baseball I try to hit the ball the left outfield because I'm a right handed batter and it's easier to swing that way. I would have to say that I would rather bat then be in the outfield because even though my arm is pretty good at throwing I would rather hit the ball. I'm not a big fan of baseball but I do like to play it with my friends when we have free time. I think the Twins are pretty good and they would have to be my favorite team. My friend and I were playing baseball together on his neighbors' lawn. He was pitching and I was batting. He threw the ball has hard and fast as he could. It flew right at my bat as I smacked it. We saw it fly over the alleyway and over the next house. We ran to find it and saw it rolling down the hill. We almost got to it when it started to turn toward a creek. I can run faster than my friend so I was closer. "If I dive for it I can catch it," I thought in my head. Now I was at legs reach. I thought about kicking it sideways before It got to the edge of the bridge and fell off the side. To late it went flying under the guardrail and went over the shallow concrete part. It landed right into the muddy gross swampy are. It was deep in mud and probably soaked. My friend and I stared right at the spot we saw it land but the sand had gone up in the water so you couldn’t see for a while until it settled. I was going to try to retrieve it but it was to far from the edge of the concrete drop off and also far from the edges. I think someone snatched it later that day or early in the morning because when we went to rescue it, it was gone. I wonder if i could get another good hit like that, I think I’m going to try.

Football

Football is a fun contact sport. I play football with my friends and I want to go out for it next time. I like football because if you like running and you can catch it'll be a good combination. If you have a good arm and good aim you can be a good QB but you also have to be alert for any sackers. When you playing with your friends you don’t hit each other as hard as you would in a game. My family doesn’t really watch football, but my brother and I watch some games especially particularly the super bowl. I like to play against two of my neighbors because I’m bigger so they team up. It funny when they think I’m going down so they push at me harder and I just swivel around and pass them and they fall down on the grass. At times I pretend to fumble the ball and they chase it down and make a touchdown. Also, when they receive the ball one will protect the ball holder and takes on me. He would try and push me to the side so the other player can run it or at least try. But its pretty cool after they get a down they try and pass it and while one inches forward the other one goes long for the ball. one time they were playing this trick on me and I thought he was going to run it so i run up to him and he throws it high in the air toward his teammate and he catches it and makes a touchdown. I like football when I'm playing with younger friends or older friends.

soccer

I like soccer more than any other sport that I play. When my teammates pass the ball to me and I pass it back and someone scores, it's a good feeling, unless it's the other team. When we get a highball close to the opponents team, we all jump and try to get a head shot to make it go in the goal. Since I was littel I have always played soccer and I'm still playing. My blog name is soccer king's blog, hence the soccer player. I have wanted to play soccer in big games but I know I'm to young to get recognized by any famous coaches. I sometimes play soccer with my brother and he is older than me but I can still sometimes score on him. He sometimes gets around me and scores. He is also a soccer player but had to quit because he twisted his leg. He's already fine and is playing again. My dad is also a good soccer player and watches soccer on television. If I ever get a scholarship for soccer I want to try and be on a big team. I also want to meet David Beckham and I want to play a big soccer game with him. I can remember when I was small I would kick the ball around my yard. I think that in my future I'll be playing soccer big games or not.

basketball

During the summer I like to play basket. I sometimes go to a basketball court across the street from my house. I play with my friend that lives across the street too, but the basketball court owners are his neighbors. He is younger than I am but can still play very well. We met a couple years ago when I moved here. Ever since, we have always played basketball in the summer. I like to play basketball because if you can make a three pointer, it’s cool when you shoot a basket from farther back and swish it. A game we like to play is horse but with a twist. The first person shoots from anywhere and if they make it the next person has to make it from that spot. If they miss they get an H, but if they make it the third person goes. If they make it the first person shoots. If that person misses, the second person turns into the first person. If the second person also misses then the third person leads. It goes on until somebody get all the letters HORSE.

I don’t personally watch basket ball on the TV but I have seen collage games. I also go with my brother to the high school and play with some of the high school players. They were practicing for a while but after they were done we all could play. I did make some points but it’s because they all stopped and let me shoot. Then they started getting harder but still I was making points. I think basket ball is a really fun sport and if your board during the summer you can play basketball.

Gym

Gym is a time of day that is kind of like recess in elementary school. It is a lot more exciting thou. At times we would have to stretch and exercise without getting to play a game. On other days we stretch then start playing dodge ball, volleyball, basketball, and go to the cardio room. I like dodge ball the most because I like it when I get someone out and when I dodge a big hit. Now we are dancing and I don’t think it’s extremely hard. I think it’s easy because I like to break dance which isn’t the same style of dancing but it’s still in the same category. We are line dancing but soon well have to do partner dancing and “the swing.” One thing I wish we could still do is swim. I think I am a pretty good swimmer and it very healthy for the body. I have never thought about going out for the swim team though. We have a kind of training exercise that is: 21 pushups, 21 sit-ups, 21 squats. I have gotten into the habit of working out every day I don’t have gym and night when I do.

I like to run and bike in the summer but in the winter I like to sled and snowboard on huge snow piles and big hills. I would want to have a school field trip to a snowboarding resort so we could all go snowboarding together and show off some tricks.

snowboarding

I went snowboarding last weekend at the great bear ski resort. I went with one of my friends and his dad. I didn’t know what to expect but I expected less than what I saw. It was very fun and I would go back if I could. At first I was afraid that I would fall of the lift or I wouldn’t be able to get on the lift. Something kind of like that happened. My friend and I met a kid that got ditched by his friends. He hung out with us and when we were getting on the lift we didn’t have enough room, so I got pushed to the side and didn’t manage to stick the landing and fell off. Luckily it was right at the lift off a couple of feet off the ground. I didn’t get my revenge except for a couple of huge laughs because he was screwing around and fell of the lift. But he was at the peak of the lift height and didn’t get hurt but had to fix his skis for a while. I at him after that so we were even.

Another reason why I chose to write about snowboarding is that I just love having the cold wind slash my face, the big air, and being able to go faster or slower when I chose. I don’t know why but it just gives me that adrenalin run that everyone loves. I have been amateur snowboarding almost ever since I could get on a board. Every winter I got least got snowboarding one. Either on little hills or at the amp theater by the lake. All in all I really like to snow board and love to do it.

piece i'd like to revise

The genre is a short story, named Halloween.
I wrote about what I wanted to do that Halloween and about the candy I wanted to get. I said that I wanted to get a lot of more candy so my parents wouldn’t eat it all. I asked you some questions about candy, holidays, and if you liked your birthday or your favorite holiday the most.

I got most of my ideas from last year. I had an ok abundance of candy but my parents still ate it all. I wanted to get more candy that time so I could hide most of it and be sugared up all the time. The main idea that started my whole story was Halloween. Anyone could write about Halloween and at least have a paragraph.

How I would change it is I would write more about last year and more about the candy and define it deeper. I would ask different questions and be more thorough. Also, instead of asking so many questions I could answer & ask the question. Why I would change it is because it doesn’t look like a very good short little paragraph. I personally don’t think it’s a very good paragraph. I think there could be a lot better changes like putting an awubis, smiley face trick, or something else to make it better. Even better I could have put all of those things in together.
