... back into the foliage covered depths of the forest. The sun is comfortably placed in front of the cotton candy clouds, in the midst of the soft blue sky. The occasional bird soars through in a last minuet attempt to catch a worm so it may feed the yearning mouths of it's young. The rough dirt trail ends and you are brought to the base of a rock. Your feet reach for the unfamiliar footholds of the high rocky promontory, anxiously scrambling up the streaky pinkish rock ready to explore any new treasures that lie beyond you. Once on top, you gaze down and see it all- the crystal clear stream brilliantly reflecting the sky, the vast landscape consisting of the towering trees where the bird ...

... soft it felt like a pillow. We went swimming over there for about 2 hours. While we were there you could see the bottom at least 30 feet deep. There were no rocks to cut you at all it was just like the sand on the beach. It was lots of fun. When we got tired we went back to the ship and got cleaned up for dinner. Our next island was St. Martinique. This island was were we got to go up a big mountain in a cab and at the top was a big cave that was filed with stalagtights. These stalatights hung from the ceiling of the cave. They varied in sizes from 2 inches to 8 feet. We got on a small train that took us all through the mountain. The train ride lasted about 2 hours. It sure was fun se ...

... guts to my Children of the Night, giving the young first choice. There is plenty to go around. Often mortals have asked why the wolves follow me and why I allow them to do so. Ours is a symbiotic relationship. I feed them, and they clean up after me. Simple, is it not? One cannot just leave all of those corpses and torn parts afield, now can one? Our relationship has endured for thousands of years and will continue as long as there are men who cower in the darkness, afraid for their mortal souls and of things that go crunch in the night. There are those who teach fear and limitation to the gullible mortals who attend the school of mysticism on Sunday Mornings and eat stale cracke ...

... including five based on the planet mars with titles like "Mars lives!" and "The Creators". What I find a bit strange is that the NASA announced the discovery just before the government decided where to place its annual funds. Makes you wonder if the announcement was not "rushed" a little. If that is what it takes for the government invest more money into space and SETI (Search for extra-terrestrial intelligence) programs than I thank the NASA personally. Sky is not the limit anymore and the stars are our future. As long as we are on earth our future is not guarantied; any second a meteorite could crash and destroy everything we created, thousands of years of effort and accumulating w ...

... and what things I could change to make my future life better. For example, I would probably start out with school, since that is very important to most people at my age. There are pretty much two things that are important to kids around my age, the social aspect and the academic aspect. I would not change my personality, but I would rather like to be friends and get to know other people I don't know now. Maybe it would be neat to be the King my senior year. Also, because I am turning sixteen real soon, I would have this really neat car that not many other people had. Than the next thing I would do would be to adjust my grades, so that I would graduate a valedictorian. Then would prob ...

... somehow find a way to escape the confines of its little cage and wreak havoc throughout my parents' house. Because I've never taken care of a hamster before, my sister had to tell me how I was to take care of her hamster. I was to feed it, make sure there was plenty of water, play with it, and give it some exercise by putting it inside of a plastic ball and let it run around inside of it for exercise Simple, or so I thought... The first day went smoothly, and the hamster was doing its hamster thing: eating, drinking, and running like crazy inside of its hamster wheel. At certain times of the day I would put the hamster in the little plastic ball so that it could run around freely. Wh ...

... of occasions. She considered this one of those occasions as she didn't want to take the risk of going on a blind date dressed badly if in the off chance her date looked like Brad Pitt. Her hunch had been right this time. Johnothan R. Frakes was a real catch for a girl. Tall, big shoulders, blond hair and deep blue eyes and most importantly thought Melissa, he had a dress sense. John also thought he had hit the jackpot on this blind date. He watched her slim body sit down at the table and knew this was going to be an interesting night. They hurried out of the eatery later on determined not to miss the beginning of " The English Patient". During dinner the conversation had ...

... the symmetry of the room, like a life size geometry proof. My mother's knickknacks were arranged neatly in their proper order on top of the entertainment center. All of our CD's and tapes were put away in their correct spots behind the clear glass door of the entertainment center. The kitchen table was clear of clutter, and the sink was empty, accept for the drying rack in the right partition. Then the doorbell started to ring, and the people began showing up. We had a lot of fun at the party, but I was not prepared for the aftermath the next morning. I woke up late Saturday morning with a slight headache and went downstairs. As I walked down the stairs, I coughed from the stale smel ...

... took private lessons focusing on my serve. Glancing their way, I would see them laughing and chatting as they walked to the clubhouse for a snack during a break. By expending all my energy on the game, I had hoped that my friends would respect my ability and that it would bring us closer together. Instead, I felt they were ostracizing me, which wasn't truly the case. Even so, Suzanne and Erin had developed a tight relationship of which I was envious. The closer they became, the worse I felt because I wanted to share equually in the friendship. The bonding of our friendship did come about from another distinctive part of the tennis camp experience. Assuming that I had mastered th ...

... there has been an outcry for a ban on privately owned handguns after the Dunblain massacre, which was when a lunatic broke into a school and gunned down a class of children and their teacher. It was tragic. The shooting I do is just for sport and is well supervised., this handgun ban could also bring a tightening on getting a shotgun license so it would be harder to get one. I shoot what is called Skeet mostly but I also shoot Compact Sporting. I go Clay Pigeon Shooting every Saturday at West London Shooting Grounds in Ruislip. I remember the first time I ever shot a shotgun, it was my uncles 12 bore semi automatic and it very nearly knocked me off of my feet, I was only 10 years ol ...
