Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters that have happened on earth. This natural disaster took place in most of New Orleans, and part of Mississippi. But the worst part was the number of kills, and the effects after which were really bad. I had a friend who came all the way from New Orleans, to Colorado because of the hurricane. He said that his whole entire house was flooded with water and that he had no place to stay so they decided to come to the mile high city. But he was not the only person I knew who went through Hurricane Katrina but one of my dad’s friends from work said that he was out of town during the time hurricane Katrina happened, and again for the same reason he decided to stay up here because we are the mile high city. But those were the only stories I personally heard. There wasn’t anything anyone could do when the hurricane was on its way, but to evacuate the whole entire city, and those who remained decided to stay either in their own homes or the superdome a stadium that is home to the New Orleans Saints.

But the scary part of the tragedy did not happen until the hurricane was finished. There was an estimated death higher then 2000, but only 1300 bodies were recovered. The worst part was how much water was in the city, and New Orleans is a city known to having the lowest sea level on earth. This caused Dams to break and water to come pouring in. It took quite a while for the city of New Orleans to start its road to recovery, but when they did they did a very good job. But this would not have happened without the help of many people around the world. Congress has provided the city of New Orleans 16.7 billion dollars, with the help of repairing the city. But tell this day you will find about thousands of homes that still remain a banded from its owners. But the worst part about it is that there is no one to punish for all of the deaths that has happened during that terrible tragedy, because this was a natural disaster not a actual person, so that is why I think that we as citizen need to be more aware of what is coming at us, and to stay strong for what may come in the future.

My Least Faviort Places

The first place I would not want to visit is New York, Yes I said New York City, which usually are in people's Top 10 list. Well it was actually my No. 1 city in the world for a few years. After my family lived there they found out that life there can be very, very difficult. And as an extremely unlucky as I was, I had experienced all types of bad things in that big bad city including getting robbed on when I was four in my own house by a drunk man who did not even know what he was doing. Maybe I still love New York, but that is the most painful love you can imagine to someone just doesn't love you back.Los Angeles A city with a high crime rate and serious racial problems this city still had race related riot. And that they may have caused the whole Ohio went to Bush in 2004 and, brings more wars to the world. Difficult to get around by public transportation and even more unsafe to walk around.
Philadelphia city important in US history but only very small core of it is worth visiting. Crime rate is high, streets are dirty, and nightlife sucks. While it is called City of Brotherly Love, people there are actually no friendlier than New York and Boston. Now they think they are so cool they can be the sixth borough of New York City. I can honestly tell you that phalli is a city you do not want to go to. I visited when I was 7 and really had a bad time, Like almost getting beat up by an adult, or having bad waiters, phalli is not the place to be. Hong Kong is another place I don’t want to visit. They pretend to be Portuguese while the only thing Portuguese is a rundown ruined gate. The only time my cousin’s visited the place they were tricked into a souvenir shop by our taxi driver to buy inferior North Korean ginsengs. And I wont ever forget about the time my aunty told me about that story it had me shaking for a while. Possibly the most dangerous city in East Europe and definitely the most avoided capital in Europe . Kid napped kids, lying taxi drivers, stray dogs, and fake police...etc. Sound like a very frightening place,thats why i never plan on even going to that place.

GODZILLA The Movie

In the 1990s Godzilla was released similar to the American version known as Godzilla, King Of The Monsters. On the front cover it instead of using the Godzilla from the movie, they used the Godzilla from Terror of Mechagodzilla . I think that the cover said a lot about Godzilla and all it was is godzilla holding a train car in his hand, he stands in front of a city skyline. The title of the movie is cut in two parts. The first part,Godzilla , is located at the top, mixed with caps and lower-cased light green letters. The second part, King Of The Monsters, is located across the bottom, all in caps colored in red and with a yellow outline.On the each side of the box is the title of the movie, all in black. Godzilla’s name in the title is written like the one on top of the front cover.On the back of the cover, in the background, is a ge city skyline. If you look closely at the buildinigs on both the front and back cover, you can see that they are the same. The title of the movie is cut into two parts again. Godzilla is located under the summary, and is written and colored like the one on the front cover. King Of The Monsters is located at the left side, all in caps, and colored in black. On top of the back cover, there are the words Hail To The King, colored in black.One thing to note in the summary is that it states this film has spawned twenty sequels. Depending on exactly when this VHS was released in it could have actually been twenty-one although it is more likely that since Godzilla vs. Destoroyah was released in December of that year that there were only twenty fullyreleased sequels at the point this VHS was released. Fifty years ago the Japanese Defense Forces killed Godzilla or so they though.t When a series of natural disasters begin to plague Japan including the inexplicable offshore sinking of a U.S. submarine a mystic old man warns his nation that Godzilla has come back to destroy Japan as revenge for all the souls lost in the Pacific War. When mere military might can not squash the monster the mystic man awakens the Holy Beasts of Yamato King GhidorahTM Mothra and BaragonTM sleeping giants that protected Japan in ancient times.

How Me And My Family Spend to much Money.

If I had to choose a thing my family spends to much money on I would probably pick to many vacations. Me and my family by average take about 2 vacations per year, and to me that is a little to much. By average 1 vacation for my whole entire family would cost about 600$ because we go by plane. And if we take 2 vacations per year then the price would be doubled, which is 1200. Which to me is money out the window because I think that we should spend some of our vacations just relaxing at home? The first vacation me and my family had was 4 years ago in the summer when we went to las Vegas to visit some of our family members. Now I think that vacation might have been okay because this is family who we haven’t seen in a very long time. Another vacation that I think might have been okay is when we went to Canada before the start of this year, because there was a big wedding that we really had to attend. And these were family that have not have seen me since I was 2 years of age. So that little vacation might have been okay. A vacation that I think was not necessary was when we went half way around the world to my country which is Ethiopia. The reason I think that vacation was not necessary was because there was not even a special; event planned, like a wedding or exc. And the total cost was about 3000$ for that trip. I am not saying that me and my family can’t go an vacations, but I think we should go about once a year rather than going 2-3 times. But regardless to the cost I really enjoy spending time with my family.

My Biggest Weakness Is...

One of my biggest weaknesses on this earth is that I am a little to lazy some times. Because I will find some way to get out of work, especially house chores. Any time my mom tries to get me to do something like Vacuum, Mop, or even cleaning the dishes I act like I am a sleep, or I just say that I am doing my homework. The homework excuse is the best for whenever I do not want to do something because my parents care a lot when it comes to school. Out of all the chores I would say that dishes are my biggest weakness. Dishes are something I just hate and will try any and every way of avoiding to do them. I rather mow a huge lawn then clean the dishes. Me and my sister always argue over who wants to do what but whenever the word dishes comes up I say NO! But either way I try to get the smallest job other then dishes. So when I say that my biggest weakness is laziness that mainly applies for house chores. Especially dishes, dishes are something I will always avoid doing for the rest of my life.

A VERY RANDOM DISEASE

Everyone on this earth have seen a person with a disease or personally had a disease. But I can bet you have not seen or even heard of a disease that can completely take over a persons life and result in death. And that disease is called Kuru, Kuru is a disease that really scared me, and after reading a story about a person who felt as if they were going to eat the world. Or in other words EAT PEOPLE I feel as if this world is filled with other wired diseases. And no this disease is not cannibalism. Cannibalism is a disease where people feel like they need to eat, whether it’s food or even eating people. Kuru is a very unique disease because unlike cannibalism Kuru is a disease where a person feels as if they need to eat humans and not food. And the story I was talking about resulted in death because this person knew that eating a human was wrong so she went for 6 months without eating and ended up dieing, and this was because the person could not eat normal food. Many people felt that she was a bad person, but others that she was good for holding back her craving for eating people. And know after reading about this disease I know what else I need to look out for.

WHO IS THIS YEARS MVP IN THE NBA?

This year’s MVPs race might be the closes race the world has ever seen, and I say that because there are 3 players right now that have an equal amount of chance of winning the award. These three players are Lebron James CLE, Kevin Durant OKC, and Carmelo Anthony Den. Now let’s talk about Lebron James first. A player known as the best we have ever seen. Lebron is a player who has won the rookie of the year award, and played the most minutes his rookie year. Lebron won the MVP award lat season and is hoping to win it again, Lebron is also known for scoring the most points in clevlends franchise history, and is up there for most points scored in NBA history among young active players. Second we have Kevin Durant a really young talented player in the league. And believe me when I say young because did you know that if Kevin Durant would have stayed in college he would have been a senior this season. The reason I think that Kevin Durant is in the close race for the MVP award is because he changed his team. And when I say change I mean Kevin turning last years losing team into this year winning playoff team. And he has accomplished that at a very young age. Another thing that people look at with Kevin Durant is his streak of 25 points or more this season. Kevin Durant lasted about 26 games in a row with scoring 25 points or more. And he has impressed people because he accomplished all of this at a very young age. And the 3rd person for the MVP race is Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony is a player who tends to claim that he is the most ungaredible player in the league. And that is what really makes him dominate because he is right about being ungaredible, because he can kill you with many things, he can take you off the dribble, shoot over you, or drive on you. That is what makes him very special because I think that he is the most intelligent player in the game, because he take what the defense gives him. And after reviewing everything about each MVP candied I would say that the winner would be lebron james. Because I think that he is just to Dominate on the floor and on the state sheet.

The NCAA Tournement Over My Spring Break

I think that this year might have been one of the most bazaars years ever in the NCAA men tournament. And the reason I say bazaar is because it was boring but interesting at the same time. The reason I think it was boring is because everyone’s Bracket is ruined because of all the upsets. But iots interesting because now anyone can win and that is because of the 1 and done situation. And what is also bazaar is that before left break I had picked 3 number 1 seeds to possibly win and now they are all out. The team I was going for the whole times was Kentucky. I thought that Kentucky was the team to win it all. One of the things that really impressed me about Kentucky is there two freshman stars. They are the main reason that Kentucky made it to the elite 8.
The upsets started to occur after one of the biggest upset’s which was when Kansas lost to Cornell. Then Villanova lost, then saraquse lost and then my team the Kentucky wildcats lost. And all of these occurred during my break. So that’s why I really don’t think that I had a very good break. But the team I think that is going to win it all is Duke. I don’t think that Butler even has a chance to stay up with duke. And what really funny to me is that no one really predicted that it would come down to Butler and Duke, and that was because of all of the upsets I was talking about. But a debate that many people are talking about is the Player of the Year award, which in my opinion is going to come down to freshmen point guard John wall, Evan Turner, Vasquez from Maryland, and desian Butler from WV. I hope the winner is John Wall not only because he is on my favorite team but because all that he has done and accomplished as a freshmen. And do not forget that he was only the second freshmen ever to win the sec player of the year. But the main point is that this years tournament was a huge shock to everyone, because of all the upsets, injuries, and the championship game that no one expected to happen. So that is why I call it a bazaar year, because it’s a shocking year.
