I chose the book 'The Dead' by Charlie higson, which is the prequal to his earlier novel 'The Enemy'. The reason why I chose this book is because it is a larger book, which consists of 450 pages. Another reason why i chose it is because I had already read 'The Enemy' and I really enjoyed it.
A terrible disease has struck has struck everyone over the age of fourteen, death roams the streets, nobody is safe. Jack and Ed are best friends, but their battle to stay alive tests their friendship to the limit as they go on the run with an awkward group of other kids nerds, fighters, rebels. And one adult. Greg, a butcher, who claims he's immune to the disease. The story takes place in central England, this disease has taken the world by storm killing practically everyone over the age of fourteen. It took only one year for the disease to completely spread across the globe. A group of young british boy's are forced into hiding from the diseased "grown ups" who have merged into zombie like creatures. Once their supplies start to run low they set off to find new shelter and hopefully more food and peace. Throughout their journey they encounter many new friends, foes, some blood thirsty adults and lose many of their mates along the way. For some odd reason some adults have remained healthy, but their days will soon be numbered. Higson is not afraid of violence, infact the storie is filled with it. The description to detail is spectacular. This book is a perfect example of a genre for kids and a great zombie tale.

Gym Life
I recently started going to the gym.. and I love it. I go almost every day of the week and I have been feeling great, I feel more healthy, energetic and very confident. Some people would say I'm "cocky" but those people don't realise how it feels to do something so productive with your life. The ammount of confidence I have gained in such a small period of time is unreal, I honnestly wish I started working out a long time ago. Its so much easier to get up in the morning and It has affected just about everything that I do on a daily basis. Now that I have set a goal for myself i feel like I can do anything. I bought this powder for GNC called Super Pump 250, I got the grape flavor.. and it gives me extra energy, builds lean muscle and helps burn fat so before you know it I might look like Lorenzo... lol jk. GTL 4 Life.
The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2
In this chapter, Holden expresses opinions that critics believe are typical for teenagers. In the following excerpt from the chapter, Holden states that people see him as immature when he is often mature.
"Sometimes I at a lot older than I am-I really do-but people never notice it. People never notice anything."
Where do you feel that you fit on the scale of mature versus immature behavior?
The way I see it I can be very mature for my age but when i am mixed up with certain personalities I can be pretty immature, but I don’t see the harm in being a little childish once in a while. Compared to some people that I have met in my life time, I almost look like a saint, when I try to be. I recognize that there is a time for everything and sometimes you might have to grow up a bit, like school for example how do you expect to succeed if you're constantly making noises or just being a goof? So i do my best to set a good example in the class room but sometimes I just can’t help but be immature.

Toronto maple leafs...
I am very disappointed... When the hockey season first started I was really impressed with the Maple Leafs they were passing well, scoring and playing pretty good defence. But after they had they're moment in the spotlight they began to drop in the rankings every week. They were ranked first overall in the entire league at the beginning of the season and are currently in 27th now with a record of 5-8-2. They have only scored 35 goals and have let in a total of 45 goals against. Perhaps this is because they are slacking in both their penalty kill (74.55%) and power play (11.76%) line ups. The two biggest disappointments to me were Phil Kessel (16 Gp - 8 G - 2 A) and Dion Phaneuf (11 Gp - 0 G - 4 A) these two players were supposed to turn the leafs season around not win 5 games then go bake some cookies with their grandmas? Well hopefully they bounce back but if not GO LIGHTNING!
Get well soon Ryan!
Hey Ryan, Mr. David has been keeping us posted on your situation; I hope you're feeling alright. I know you’ll do fine though, I always see you walking around the halls and you always seem so happy, nothing ever puts you down no matter the circumstances. You just roam the halls as if you own them, and that’s something I have always admired about you. I really hope you get well soon buddy, I hope the magazines and the card we sent you brightens up your day. Just keep in mind that once you're back at school you can go back to being the same old Ryan St-Martin that we all know. So I hope you get well soon so you can come back to Garnier and I hope this blog helps you out man! Stay strong. Oh and I posted a couple or my favorite cars let me know what you think about them! (Audi R8 + Rolls Royce Ghost)


The Cather in the Rye, Chapter 1

I chose the second question for the first chapter which was to assume you were a member of the fencing team that Holden manages, and write a letter to the narrator telling him how you feel about his irresponsible mistake.
Dear Holden, I must say that I am not very impressed with your managing skills. A manager needs to be ready for any event and has to be extremely organised. How do you expect the team to succeed if you can’t even remember to bring our equipment? Perhaps you could spend some time organizing our matches so this sort of situation does not re-occur. It would really be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely Scott McIntosh

Grind my gears Ep.3
You know what really grinds my gears? Golf! Golf is the absolute worst sport in the entire world; it takes forever, its boring and most of all very frustrating. Not too long ago i went golfing with a few friends of mine with my dads clubs. Within 5 minutes I had enough, i took my time took a practice swing, was feeling pretty good but when i went to hit the ball i completely missed the ball. Not too long after i decided it was about time i tried having some fun. Have you seen the movie Happy Gilmore? well they should probably add one of those do not try at home messages. I ended up snapping the head off of my dads driver, luckily his friend had an extra or that would be a few hundred dollars out of my pocket. Funny thing is we didn't even finish the game, we left after the ninth hole! So I'm just going to stick with soccer.
