Something Worth Sharing

Probably the most interesting thing that happened to me the last couple of weeks was that i went to visit my old house. That house had a old oak tree I used to play under, and a play set that I loved. The best part was that i remember standing in the door frame looking at how tall I was, and thinking now I'm this I can do anything. Like a little kid should, he should want to be an astronaut and walk on mars and find aliens, or go to deepest parts of the ocean and look at the wide variety of fish and whale and undiscovered creators of the depth.

Also remembering that I was only three feet tall and that we all were at one time, and seeing how I grew to be who I am today, and thinking what I will be tomorrow. It is kinda mind boggling to know that I grew every second with me not being able to feel it. Every time you go to the doctor and they see how tall you are you always get bigger, at least when you're little.

What makes a person successful?

In the book I am reading Through My Eyes by Tim Tedow, the reason why I think he is so successful is that he works hard and he is competitive. Not to mention he is a very gifted athlete, naturally strong, and fast. He always wants to do better than the other guy, striving to be the best at whatever it happened to be, whether it was football, baseball, or seeing how could spit the watermelon seed the farthest. He did whatever it took to be the best, he would stay up to 12:30 in the morning and do push-ups Just to think to himself "I bet I'm am the only one working out right now".

Also he is just one of  though's people who just wants to work hard. When he was young before he played T-ball he wanted to lift weights because that what he thought everyone else was doing. Also when he was in 6th grade trying out for the football team at a local school, everyone got in a line to see who could do the most bicep curls. He got a the back of the line by the time it was his turn he had to do 65 curls to win. Guess what he did, he went to 100 then 200, by 225 he couldn't feel his arms but he kept going he finally stopped at 315 reps. He did all of that just to prove a point to the coaches, that he would do what ever it takes to help the team.

Free Post

Today I went to the D-day museum, even though it wasn't my first time there there is always something new or something you missed the last time. The museum has so much information the it would take two or three days to see every thing at just a glance. The most impressive thing for me is that most of the of the people working there or the ones that you see are WWII  vets. Which really makes me happy because they can pass down information that would never see the light of day if it wasn't for those people.

After that my family and I walked around for a little while and we found our selfs at the door of Mothers po-boys. I will have to say that was the best po-boy I have had in a long time. I had the Famous Ferdi special which had debris(pulled beef in gravy), ham, and roast beef. The ham added a nice sweet and cold flavor and the debris had almost a mushy goodness that is heaven on earth with the fresh french bread soaking up all the gravy. Last but not least the roast beef was the best I had ever had, it enhanced every flavor in the sand-which to another level, the creole mustard, to the cabbage was great with that stuff on it.

Divergent

This past summer I read the book called Divergent. I didn't like this book because the story got off to a slow start, and never really picked up for me. This was really disappointing because by the cover it looked like a really good book that I wanted to read. What I found confusing is that tris could control the tests but I couldn't tell if she was really trying, or just going along with every body else.

As I was reading the book had its peaks and valleys, but there were more valleys than peaks unfortunately. At the end was really disappointing because it was so predicable. The Most predicable part was when four and her went to try to stop the attack. Which wasn't bad but wasn't good ether. Also many of tris's friends died which was really depressing.
