10/25-10/29 Ryan Pinkowski = B.A.

Ryan Pinkowski = B.A.
We all know that Ryan a.k.a. Pinky never gets his blogs done in Online Publishing. This following story will tell you the reason why.  Pinky has a secret job. Now that job will not be secret anymore because I’m about to tell you that job. He kills midgets for a living. Every day he has to kill at least twenty midgets in order to get his cash money from the Wicked Witch of the North to get revenge on Dorothy for killing her two sisters. Besides killing midgets he gardens. He plants roses and tulips in a heart formation on his front lawn for everyone to see. After that he plays hopscotch with his four year friends and listens to the Jonas Brothers. Did I mention that Pinky is a High School Senior? This is what he does every day. He wakes up and starts his day off at the WAK. He has an awesome and delicious breakfast. (The WAK is located on Broadway on the corner of Three Rod where it turns into Sandridge at the street light. Stop in some timeJ.) Then he is off to kill the twenty midgets with a machete and then plants his flowers. To end the day he plays hopscotch while the sun goes down and then goes to bed at eight p.m. while listening to the Jonas Brothers. He is some man right there. I wish I had that same life. Right now I am so jealous because my life is not rushing with excitement like his is. This is the extraordinary life of Ryan Pinkowski. Be jealous. Who wouldn’t be?

10/25-10/29 My Father, My Hero

On Friday when Mr. Currin told us about the blogs I raised my hand and said I didn’t look up to anyone. Lately I haven’t really looked up to anyone because I was afraid if I did look up to someone they would leave me. Recently though I thought about it. I have looked up to the only person who hasn’t left me. My father. My father has been the best person in my life. He is the only man I know who truly has a heart. Many people don’t know this but some of my brothers and my older sister were adopted. My father adopted them. We have the same mother just different fathers. My father is seriously my hero. I’ve never seen someone that has ever cared as much as he has. After my mother left he really stepped it up. He’s the only person I have left. Without him I don’t know what my family would do. Technically I only one sister, but I have five half-brothers and one half sister. My father adopted all of them and they weren’t his. I haven’t seen anyone else do that before. Now that my mother is gone there is a whole different side to him. It might be weird for a woman to look up to a man, but he’s done so much for me. I almost want to cry right now while I write this because he truly does mean everything to me. It was tough for us after my mother left but we moved on and we grew strong. My father took control of the WAK and made it his own. There’s no more negativity in the house. I love my father and I always will. I wish he could just live for infinity because I don’t know what I would do without him on this earth.

10/25-10/29 I'm a B.A.

I have been injured many times in my life. In 6th grade I was walking down the stairs at Folsomedale Church and I must have missed a step or something because I ended up flying through the air and I landed on my right ankle. My dad took me to the hospital and the doctors said I broke my ankle on both sides. Delicious right? I had a bright pink cast on. My ankle healed and then last year in September I was walking down 3 short steps at my house and I missed one and landed on my ankle again. I ended up injuring it with so many things. I sprained it, chipped the back of my ankle and broke many ligaments. I clearly can’t walk down stairs without hurting myself. I broke the same ankle twice. When I first broke it, the snapping echoed throughout the stairwell at the church. The second time I injured my ankle it sounded like a thick stick was being snapped right in my ear. It was so loud. The only bad thing about breaking my ankle was that it was right in the beginning of the school year so I went to homecoming with a walking cast thing on my ankle. It was horrible but I still enjoyed myself. Another time I hurt myself was back in kindergarten. I think I’m special or something because I would hurt myself just to get out of arts and crafts. I would use scissors and cut the skin off my fingertips just to get out of class. I now see why I love blood. I also chewed on razors when I was younger. Yes I’m a B.A. I just remember sitting in the bath tub and I think I was like four. A firefighter came in and took me out of the bath tub and he was just looking me weird because I was chewing on a razor. Seriously. I’m a B.A.

10/18-10/22 The Real Paranormal Activity

The scariest or creepiest movie I’ve ever seen was Paranormal Activity. It may have been fake, but that stuff can actually happen. I recently wrote an article for The Bulldog about the old house I lived in. It was haunted by a girl. I’ve seen the girl, felt her and heard her. It was almost as if I had another sister because she was that real. I’ve seen real stories about poltergeists. Those things can really happen. That night after I watched Paranormal Activity I pretty much peed myself. I was afraid that I was going to get pulled out of my bed and dragged down the stairs. If you have seen the movie there is a part where the girl (Katie) is pulled out of her bed and dragged through the hallway and is almost pulled into the attic in the ceiling. I was so scared. If I lived in the other house I would have been more afraid because there was actually a ghost there. My old house was extremely creepy. Everywhere I went in my house it always felt as if someone was with me. Almost as if someone was watching my every move. Since this blog is a tad short I’ll talk about another place I have been that was scary. My friend Cait Whelchel lives in this farm house. I went over to her house one time for her birthday. In the middle of the night I looked up because I thought something was near me. I felt an unwanted presence. When I looked up I saw a younger man staring out the window. I thought it was her brother but it wasn’t. He was asleep upstairs. Another time when I was at her house I was standing outside her bedroom when the silhouette of a woman poked around the corner and stared at me. She was older and I only saw half of her face. I ran to Cait’s bed and hid under the covers. I don’t know why, but ghosts seem to be attracted to me.

10/18-10/22 Nate Bailey is the new Michael Myers.

It was fall. The cool breeze blew through the quiet town of Alden, New York. In the woods, there he stood, machete in hand, Nate Bailey. This is where that weird music would start that showed Michael Myers was going to kill someone, but this time it’s Nate Bailey. He hid behind a tree waiting for his next victim. It was the night of Halloween. It was October 31, 2010. The next day it would be November, and the headlines would be all about him. He heard older kids laughing in the distance. Lately those were his victims. Drunk, high kids in the woods. He already killed around five of them tonight. Soon enough that five would turn into ten, and that ten would turn into fifteen. He crouched behind a random bush in the darkness. In the distance he could see the kids sitting around a campfire slurring their words. No one knew that Nate Bailey was the killer that struck every Halloween for the past three years. You would think that kids were smart enough to stay with other people in public instead of stumbling into their own death in the woods, but hey it’s Alden. All their backs were turned from him. He stood up, twisted his neck side to side to crack it and started walking slowly to towards the fire. Nate Bailey was “the boss” so people say. In this case he’s “the killer.” He continued to walk until he was fifteen feet away from the kids. They didn’t even notice he was there. They continued to drink and laugh about nothing.  He walked closer tightening his grip on the machete that would soon pierce the skin of some innocent kid. One kid stood up to walk away to throw up when he walked right into Nate Bailey. The kid squinted his eyes to try to fix his vision, but it was too late. Vision is worthless when you’re dead. Nate Bailey thrusted the machete into the torso of the kid. He watched the kid drop to his knees before he moon walked back into the darkness.  

10/18-10/22 Is Nate Bailey the boss?

I don’t think Nate Bailey is “the boss.” To be the boss means that your “higher” than everyone else. Your place on the earth is to be in charge if you’re the boss. Clearly Nate Bailey is not the boss because I do what I want. The boss is most likely President Barack Obama. He is in control of everyone. I don’t like politics so I don’t really pay attention to what he does. I like my freedom, so when someone is trying to be the boss of me I ignore them. People shouldn’t “boss” me around because then I turn into a bear and rip them apart. I get that from my momma. I don’t really see the point of this blog is because I ran out of what to say in the first couple sentences. I pretty much just rambled in the last few sentences and this is really boring. I actually want to know why people think Nate Bailey is “the boss.” I don’t understand that. I am so getting points taken off this one because it’s going to be short.

10/11-10/15 Best Meal Ever!

I don’t think there really is a best meal ever. Since I have to choose though, I think meatloaf is the best meal ever. With my family we don’t really eat often together. When we have meatloaf though, that’s a whole different story. My father is a cook. When he makes homemade things they are just phenomenal. The flavor of the meatloaf just explodes in your mouth and your taste buds go on a wild ride. When we eat the meatloaf we also have baked potatoes and corn. Who ever created meatloaf is a genius. It’s so delicious. Seriously if I was able to eat meatloaf every day and not gain weight I would. We sometimes eat other meals that we make together, but for some reason when we eat meatloaf it brings the whole family together and it reminds us that we love each other. I don’t know how meatloaf would do that but it does. We actually talk and enjoy our time together when we eat this type of dinner together. I’m not use to eating together like that. We eat meatloaf like once a month. We sit down together in the living room and actually eat as a family. When we eat other meals we just scatter all over the house. It’s weird. Then again the Herter family is weird. My family is really picky on the things we eat, but meatloaf is one thing we can all agree on. I swear, meatloaf must have magical powers or something like that.

10/11-10/15 Best Song and Band Ever!

We only had to choose a band or song to write about, but the band I’m going to choose wrote the best song ever. The Black Veil Brides are new but their music is just fantastic. They first started out with three members but then expanded to five members. Andy Sixx is the lead singer of the group. His voice is so awesome. It’s very relaxing when he sings some of his slow songs, but when he screams it’s just beautiful. Their music is very inspirational. On their first CD, the first slot on the CD isn’t a song it’s more of a dedication to people around the world. It says, “This record is for the outcasts, following a story of love, life and never giving in. We are the Black Veil Brides.” I love all their songs, but lately I’ve been addicted to one of their songs. It’s called Sweet Blasphemy. It’s an awesome song. “We are young and we are strong. Through strength in self we become. Something more than they can be, this is our Sweet Blasphemy.”  That is my favorite line from the song. During that part all the guitars and drums quiet down in the background so all you hear is Andy Sixx’s voice. It really stands out. I love this song and I can just listen to it all day long. Sweet Blasphemy is the best song out there! When I listen to their music it’s almost as if he’s singing to me. I can’t wait for their next CD to come out.

10/11-10/15 Best Class Ever!

The best class ever is hard to choose out of this year’s schedule for me. Since I have to pick though, I choose Online Publishing. I am not trying to be a suck up. I truly enjoy this class. I love being able to write about anything. I want to be a writer when I graduate and by writing for the Bulldog it helps with the criticism and what not. I enjoy it when people read my articles and actually comment on them. I don’t care if the comments are bad or not because they still read my article. What makes this class awesome is the teacher. Mr. Currin is hilarious. I look forward to this class every day because he makes it fun. I love when he walks into the classroom and yells, “Best class ever!” It makes me laugh every time. We need more teachers with a sense of humor like his. I’m always doing something in this class. The blogs are a lot of fun because I always wonder what we’re going to have to write about this time. I also like reading other peoples blogs because I learn more about them. Most of the people in this class are seniors which I don’t know. It’s fun learning about people you don’t know. Some of the article topics that come up are really fun to write about also. Recently we had to interview a teacher. I choose Ms. Gilmore because to me she is the best teacher ever. I really love this class and I wish it never has to end.

9/27-10/1 Trick-or-Treat

My final favorite movie is Trick-or-Treat. When you first watch this movie it is rather confusing. I had to watch it twice in order to understand it. There are almost three different stories inside this movie but in the end they all connect to each other. I really love this movie because there is always something going on. There isn’t one boring part in this movie. Some things that go on are actually surprising because you never saw it coming. That’s what I love about this movie. It’s a gory movie so of course I love it. The murderer is actually a little kid in footy pajamas and he has a pumpkin as a head. All he wants is candy and if you don’t give it to him he will murder you. He’s so cute! Seriously if someone was going to murder me, I want it to be that little kid just so I can at least see something adorable before I die. I could watch this movie over and over again and find out something I didn’t know before. It’s very entertaining and some of the things are hilarious. I love this movie and I would definitely watch it on Halloween since it’s based on the day of Halloween. I might actually try that now because I never watched it on Halloween.

10/4-10/8 Sweeney Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street

My second favorite movie would have to be Sweeney Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street. When it comes to movies I love gory or musical ones. This movie is both! Sweeney Todd comes back to London after he left to make a plan to get his wife and daughter back.  His original name was Benjamin Barker, but he had to use a different name to keep himself on the down low. His wife and baby was taken away by Judge Turpin. He goes back to London and opens a barber shop with Ms. Lovett who is a baker. They work together to get her meat pie shop going. He would kill people while he is supposed to be shaving their beards. He then would give the dead bodies to her and she would make the meat pies out of the dead people. No one ever knew their little secret. In the end though, he never gets his wife or daughter back because he gets killed by the one kid that works for Ms. Lovett. He also killed his wife by mistake because he didn’t recognize her. The good thing though is that he was able to kill the judge so he got his revenge. Somehow the music and the killing go so well together.

10/4-10/8 Resident Evil 2

My first favorite movie is Resident Evil 2. It’s pretty much about zombies. If you know me I am madly in love with zombies. I’m weird I know. I would also marry a zombie. There are now three other Resident Evil’s besides this one. I choose this one because of the plot and the action in it.  It’s a continuation of the first one but there is more to it. Raccoon City is now totally transformed because of the zombies. People are just pretty much getting ripped apart everywhere you go. There are more monsters than ever before.  My favorite monster from this movie is Nemisis. He kind of reminds me of Mono. Haha. The best part of this movie is towards the end. The main character Alice has to fight Nemisis on top of this building. Nemisis was actually Alice’s friend from the first movie. His name was Max. They had to battle anyways but they turned on the government and killed pretty much everyone as a team. It was great action because there was this one part where Alice had to dodge the gun fire from the helicopters. She was running along this glass window wall. The bullets would hit the glass and it would shatter. It was just really cool. I could just watch this movie over and over again because it’s just that good. Watch it…you will love it.
