Poems

The sky so blue,
But has the flu,
It doesn't know what to do,
So it called whinnie the poo.

When people have to go,
Then they really must know,
How to go with the flow,
Or they will not glow.

I don't know what those poems ment but I felt like expressing myself to the blogging world today. I'm going to go skateboarding today after school at a friend's house. I'm hoping to learn front side 180's and fakie front side 180's. Also I want to land a pop shove it moving and get the spin for my kickflip. That all probably will not happen today but I'm going to work on it. I'm going to start on my 15 image slide show now so I'll talk to you later blogspot.com! BYEE

MY LIFE!

Something really cool but random happened to me yesterday. I was eating dinner and my mom came up to me and handed me a letter from my grandmother. Usually I only get a letter from her on my birthday and it has $100 in it with a really cool card along with it. It usually is a few words saying "Do good in school" or something similar to that. This time it was all in Japanese and it was many paragraphs long. I had my mom read it to me in Japanese and I tried to figure out what it said but I only understood a few sentences from it. So she translated it for me. It was telling me that they want me to keep doing good in school and that I was almost a grown up. It also had $300.00 in it, which was a very nice surprise. I am working part time so I can buy a vehicle so that helped out a lot. Next Friday I get my first pay check which will be about $200.

Career goals

My career goals are still questionable to me. I'm not sure what I want to do in the future but I know that I will be going to college. I thought I wanted to be a counselor but then I found out a lot of them turn crazy. I love helping people but I don't know if I want to sit there all day and listen to people's problems. I'm hoping I figure out what I want to be by senior year.

SPORTS

I used to love soccer when I was little. I think I liked it so much because my sister always played it. I started to play it when I was very little like around the age of 5 years old. I played for many years straight and was mvp of a lot of the teams. I still like it to this day but don't play anymore because it's more like about winning now rather than just for fun, which I don't like as much. I like football too but never really got into it. I wanted to do freshman football for my school but if I were to start I would be so late into the season and I would have been too far behind everyone else. That's all for today! BYE

Bad Parents

This blog is going to be about what should happen to parents that leave their children in the car on a hot day. I think that's just non-parent like, and they should get in a lot of trouble. First of all I think they should get a ticket and talk to a judge about how to treat their children. Some people just run into the store really quick and leave their cars on with the AC on. I think that's just as bad or even worse than leaving a child in a car without AC. The kid could go into the driver's seat and accidently put it into drive, crash the car, and get injured. Bottom line is that leaving your kid or any kid in a car on hot day or not, is a very bad idea.

What I learned yesterday...

Yesterday I learned that I don't have to pay for insurance right when I get my driver's licence. Up until yesterday I thought you had to pay for insurance as soon as you got one. That is why I havn't gotten my licence yet but now that I know I can, my mom told me I have to start practicing driving again. My mom's rules were that I wasn't aloud to drive until I got a job. Now I currently work at BJ's car wash so she let me drive yesterday. I was a little jerky due to me not being used to her car. But I didn't crash, so I think I did good overall. Driving is really easy..

My weekend 8/22/11

This weekend was the start of my working career. Saturday I started my first paid job at Bj's car wash. I worked from 8:15 am to 3:40 pm vacuuming out cars. I work there with my friends Zac and John. We worked all day in the hot sun with no lunch break. When we finally asked our shift leader when we got to take our break she sent us home. The following day we worked again at 8:00 am with a new shift leader. This shift leader was a lot better than the previous one because he was more laid back. He actually gave us a lunch break and we went to jack in the box to eat. When we got back we worked till closing time at 5:00. It wasn't as busy as saturday.

Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson made many good points in his speach. He made me think about how education isn't very important now-a-days. In the past people who had a degree out of college they had a job. Everyone who didn't have a job in that time didn't want one. What I mean by that is that people could get a job so easily back then. He also mentioned that if you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never do something original. I think that is very true but we live in a time that being wrong is a very bad thing. In this day in age if you make a mistake at your job you will be fired. This frightens many people into not being original due to them not being prepared to be wrong. Hopefully the world changes so that people can feel confident about what they do without worrying about being wrong. That was what caught my attention about Ken Robinson's speach that I listened to today.

Blogday number 2 ;)

I spent my whole summer in Portland, Oregon with my dad. It was the longest I've ever stayed with him since my mom and him got divorced, so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Usually when I visit him his house there's a lot of changes made to it. This year there wasn't much different. He told me that he had many projects for us to do this summer. We cleared out the side of his yard which had a lot of old wood that he had got for free over time. We built two fences that were about 100 feet long out of wood which took quite a while. We also built many benches all around his yard for his guests to sit down. He had a lot of parties throughout the summer with some of his friends. Another thing I did this summer was, I got a intern position at a coffee shop. It was called Wind Horse Coffee and Tea. I really enjoyed my time that I spent there and learned a lot. Since I got that intern position I now have a lot to put on my resume which helped me get a part time job that I currently have. That's all for today! Bye

My first blog!

My name is Jonah Michael and I am new at blogging. Yesterday during media production I was supposed to make a Blog which I did. Before I came into media production I never knew what a blog was so I looked it up on google. I guess it's like a diary on the internet. I'm not sure why but it kind of seems like I'm talking to myself. Oh wait, that's because I am... Anyways I like having my own website even though it's a blogging one because I like being able to make it look the way I want it to look. I have always liked editing and filming stuff which is why i took media productions. Hopefully it turns out being a really cool class that I'm expecting it to be. Well this has been Jonah Michael's first blog, and I hope I did this right because it kind of seems like I just talked to myself. Who knows, maybe that's what a blog is supposed to be like.
