What I was afraid of as a child

When I was about 8 years old, my family and I watched the movie It. In the movie, there is a clown named Pennywise and what scared me was that he ate children. A few nights after we watched the movie, my dad got up in the middle of the night and printed off some pictures of Pennywise and other scary clowns and put them on the floor beside the bunk bed my brother and I used to sleep in. In the morning, I woke up and looked down on the floor and saw that pictures. I began to cry because I was so scared. My mom came into my room and saw the pictures and got mad. My dad was standing outside the bedroom laughing hysterically. Even a few years after that, I am still afraid of clowns. What is much worse is that my aunt is now part of a group and they dress up as clowns. I guess I won't be able to get over my fear for some more time.

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."-Elizabeth Lawrence. What autumn is to me.

For me, autumn means that it is time to get ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I get to see my family and we all get to eat the food that my dad cooked. It also means that the leaves will fall off the tree branches and get ready for winter. Autumn is my favorite time of year. The temperature won't be too hot or cold. That is perfect for me.

Electric Guitar Lessons Have Been Waiting For 3 Years

Everyone doesn't know that I have an electric guitar. It is red on the top half and white on the bottom half. I have guitar picks of various colors, an amp, and a electronic tuner. But, I have yet to actually learn to play it. I have a DVD that teaches how to play and with it, you can print out music sheets. I would love to start learning to play it, but I have been so busy with school and other things that I finally realized that it has been about 3 years since I got the guitar. I really need to start playing before it turns out that I haven't played it in about 10 years or so.

"Act quickly, Think slowly."-Greek Proverb

People have to act quickly if they want to get things done or, if the situation deals with a person who is hurt, you should get them the medical sttention that they need in order to survive. We all have to think slowly because we need to answer a question in great detail or figure out a problem that needs to be solved. Everyone has to act quickly and think slowly in their daily lives.

Is it easier to fight with dignity than to surrender in shame?

I believe it is easier to fight with dignity than to surrender in shame because people want other people to believe that they are tough and can stick up for themselves, especially guys. I would much rather surrender in shame than to fight with dignity because I won't fight someone unless the situation depends upon it. I think people should try to discuss things rationally rather than fighting.

Money

Money means a lot to me. We use it to buy the essential things that we need such as clothing, food, and shelter. Money is definitely important to all people. It is hard to tell how much money is enough. You don't want to have a too little amount of money, but you also don't want to have a lot because it has caused some people to develop depression. The lack of money impacts life by making the person start to save their money for their food and other needs. A good example of that is the recession we are going through right now. As for it making the world go round, I really don't think it does. But, something makes this world go round.

Laughter

I feel that laughter unifies us in some way. Laughter is extremely important because it makes us happy. Silly things, funny movies, and my family all make me laugh. I believe that laughter can be very contagious because sometimes we just have to laugh at things so we can feel better.

Do What You Love, Love What You Do, Leave The World A Better Place, and Don't Pick Your Nose

Everyone in the world wants to do something they love all the time. For me, it's listening to music or reading a great book. Everyone should also leave the world a better place because it is going through the recession right now. As for the last part, you should NOT EVER pick your nose. It is so DISGUSTING!!!

"Tenants of vitreous abodes, ought not to hurl lithoidal fragments"

When someone always finds the bad in people, they are usually unhappy with themselves. They find the bad in people to make themselves feel better. I, myself, have never been the recipiant of thrown stones. I have, however, thrown stones at my older brother. I was always jealous of him because he got better grades than me and I would say hurtful things to him to try to make myself feel better, but it never did. People should never throw stones at one another.
