Ted Jones
Every week on the first Sunday of the month I make my way to the Rusty Dog. The Rusty Dog is a small bar outside of Cleveland Ohio, where I usually get a moment to myself. I usually don’t know anyone in the bar but once in a blue moon a stranger will sit and talk with me. But this is rare because I isolate myself from the drunks surrounding the bar. This is because at the first bar I attended I had a predicament that brought me away from there and to the Rusty Dog. For some odd reason the drunk of the drunks that no one liked decided that since everyone was annoyed by him that he would take a stab at me. So, while peacefully sitting upon the bar watching football a drunken skinny man with an abnormally large nose and a big mouth sat beside me. After a long delayed silence he said “Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have.”
“Yea…” I said in hope of the conversation ending there and then. But of corse this train wrench wasn’t done.
“Be 100% honest with me and tell me when you look at me what do you think.” He said
I took a deep breath and said “First, you sound like a high school cheerleader, have some confidence. Second you a skinny, Jewish man who spends way too much time at the bar. “When I looked up for his reaction the man’s face had turned cherry red and he looked almost constipated.
“So you’re a funny guy ay! You think I’m the town drunk? No, no! I’m not a drunk and I’m proud to be Jewish.”
“I’m not looking for trouble I was just giving you what you wanted.” I said walking away from the situation. But, he obviously took me walking away as disrespect because next thing I know a empty glass beer bottle was smashed down the top of my head. To say the least I took care of the situation but, decided I could never be in that bar again.
This leads me to the Rusty Dog where again I knew no one. Again I sat in the back corner. As I scanned the bar all I could see were Cleveland Browns fan moan and complain about their teams play. Soon after the game had finish a large man wearing a dog mask sat to my right.
At first he said nothing and ordered draft. Hours passed and the tension between us built but still no communication. “So…, the Browns aren’t looking to good.” I said breaking the ice.
“Yeah, I’m starting to get used to it these days” he said. I laughed.
“So what brings you to my corner and away from your friends?” he looked at me, then in the general vicinity of the bar, and shrugged. Realizing then he was a drunken man I withheld my farther questions.
After about ten more minutes I decided to leave. But, when I got out of my seat, he said “Can I ask you something?” hesitating for a second I sat back down in my seat.
“yeah sure” I said reassuring.
“have you lied to people just to make yourself look good?” he said with his mask still on.
“Yeah I think everyone does sometimes.” I responded sadly.
“Well I do every day and it never ends one lie leads to another.” He said.
“It doesn’t have to be that way you know.” I tried being friendly to this giant man opening up to me.
“Your right, if I had someone to tell things too I would.” He said putting his head down.
“What about your wife or your friends over there?” I answered
“A wife? That would be nice. And those guys? There not my friends they just like to drink for the browns games.” Shocked I replied
“What is your name?”
“Ted Jones, nice to meet you Mr.….?”
“Martin” I said accepting my new friend. We talked awhile about family and friends. But the conversation never got deep until Ted said “You know how people have goals in life and some are never achieved? Well I’m 35 years of age and I’ve tried and fail my goals there’s nothing left. I’m done.
“Your only 35 there is plenty ahead of you, make new goals and start a new chapter in your life.” He nodded his head, shook my hand and left the bar. At the moment I was puzzled and confused. How could he just up and leave? Maybe all he needed was a push.
The funny thing about Ted Jones is he showed me that being alone isn’t something to look forward to every week. From that day on I stopped going to bars every Sunday and decided that watching the game with my wife and kids would make me happier. So, even though I thought I was the one helping ted he was actually helping me. Never take anyone or anything for granitite and always look ahead never look back.

twisted
think a couple years back. whould u say two years ago that you were going to be living the way you do now? it seems like no one can predict life and make themselves happy. i think this life is something you ride for happiness. if you search and search for what u think you want u might miss what u never knew u loved. dont miss apportunities youll regret them in a couple of years. oh and for those of you who are always bent out of shape trying to help others out, relax and be a little more selfish your the only person in this world that will always be on your side no matter what.

im ready
I'm pumped for this years basketball season to start. Ive work hard since basketball was over to be ready for the start of this season. I plan to prove to everyone that Gahanna is still legit even after losing 7 seniors. i know i ready to go but the rest of my team im not so sure about. but once we fix a couple of things any opponent put on the same court as us should be scared. so come support the rejuvenated Gahanna lions and watch us kick some ***.
P.S. come check out big B on senior night I'm guessing hes going to drop double digits.

Do you believe me now?
Everyone differs in how to perceive life. Some believe in a higher power. For me I believe in one god and that he gives us on earth signs that he exists on earth. Many people say there is no proof of god or of anything he does for us but through my own personal experiences I know he is out there somewhere.
Throughout my life I have been blessed with a great supporting family who through all rough times sticks together like glue and will concur every problem set before them. My grandfather Jay Gee is a diabetic and has lost both of his kidneys along with one donated to him. At one point in time he had no kidney and no donor was available for him to have. Through prayer and hope that he would make it through at the last moment a donor was available and saved his life. You might say that this was all coincidence but this isn’t the first miracle that my grandfather has been through. When I was ten years of age my grandfather used to take me to the hospital with him as he went through treatment. Two days a week I sat outside of his room watching the heart monitor through a tall glass window because his body was surrounded my machines. But one day as I sat watching the monitor the line went blank straight and for that brief moment in time my grandfather was dead. My eyes focused solely on the monitor as it slowly started beeping again.
The miracle I experienced was no doctors doing. After many hours of tests I got to see him and he told me something that I will never forget. He said “I love my two daughters with all my heart but I’ve never had a son. I’ll never leave you until I know you’re ready for this world.” He also told me to keep this miracle a secret so my family would not see that he was venerable.
As good as that story is I have more proof. Around one year and a half ago my other grandpa, Rich, was diagnosed with altimers and was soon to die. Knowing this he visited each and every child and grandchild of his. On my time of meeting he told me this before his death. He said “I am always watching over you in spirit. Even when I die I will live on through your grandmother and father. Put your family first and get rid of those in your life that bring you down. Go 110% in everything you do.” Where’s the proof? Well exactly one year after his death my grandmother gave me a letter in her handwriting that said we are always here for you, put your trust in god and anything is possible. Your grandpa and I both want you to know that even when our physical bodies decease we will fallow you every step of the way.
Upon handing me the letter my grandma told me that she didn’t know why she wrote this letter or why it was important to give to me on that day. She said she didn’t remember writing it but she knew that it was important that I received the letter and that I knew he was still around.
So even though I have told a small amount of people my stories, sharing them seemed to be the right thing to do. So, if you don’t believe that god gives miracles or signs of his existence then you’re looking in the wrong places. Do you believe me now?

GLHS Football
im not going to bag any coach or player i this blog. the main idea of this blog is to point out how the team could be better. first of all y do we have so many assignments on defence? defence should be easy and adaptible. a defence also always needs a saftey just in case something goes wrong. now to the offence, i feel like the simple offence we run is to easy to defeat. also we need to focus on our strengths tanner has a good arm but no offence is not a rushing qb. create a stable run game and let tanner sit in the pocket and tare apart the secoundary. also many teams chase the boot so a good play would be to run a sceen opposite the boot route. all in all i think we need to focus on what we have and hve faith in what our teammates can do. snoad is a good coach he just makes some bad decitions like every coach would.
p.s. dont run a slant or run up the middle on third and long.

Your killin me smalls
Today i desided that i would write a perfectly legal post. this was i can get a 100% for once in my blogger life. Too many times have i cheated the system and now i want to give back and say sorry. Sorry for cheating, copying, and being too smart. Sorry for being a lazy student and not the best that i can be. Im sorry for telling everyone in my 8th grade class the answers to the history final, i should have kept them to myself. But what i am most sorry for is taking an old spanish assignment and posting it as a blog. Mr. Potter i will stop killing you if you stop making fun of me by calling me small.
Now that I have gave out all my sorrys i would like to let you know that everything that i have done i have gotten away with some way and some how thats just how it is. But the on time i got caught is really the only one i am sorry for so the begining of this blog was just a bunch of bull crap just to make this letter longer. Lastly i would like to say i will never get caught again.
p.s. the only reason i used an old assingment was because the only spanish word i remember is tatas which is immature and immature but very fun to say.

Ross i feel you pain I have been tired since school started. But at least your making money rather than sitting on your butt all day. I also agree with your statement about this homework being absolutely pointless. i think that even though i understand we need this to work on creative writing. Every giving week spending sleep time just to write a response to what each other has posted my our blog.
P.S. i hate when people use "P.S." if you have something to say say it in your entry. Thank you.

I agree that osu team looked very strong. But, Wiscoinson? I think iowa or penn state is where osu battles lie. For miami, its going to be a long long year. OSU is bound for the BCS and on there way to yet another national championship.

my first post
I have no idea what to say in this blog. Accually, i would like to take some time to tell u how pointless this blogging thing is. I can honestly say whatever I want and ill get points. This is sweet. The hard part is remembering to do it and coming up with new topics each and every time. Also, I am sad I am only going to recieve a twenty out of twenty-five for my blog being one day late. So thats all if got to say, and im rambling on just because this assignment is stupid and i still need to get a good grade. Thank you potter!
