For certain crimes, the only just punishment is the death penalty. Capital punishment ensures that murderers never murder again, and provides justice for murder victims and their families.”  http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=pwh&AN=26612346&site=pov-live  This article is opposing the Death Penalty and I can roast this article of its information by using other resources or my own beliefs. “As of June 30, 2006, 1,556,518 prisoners-two-thirds of the nation’s incarcerated population-were under the jurisdiction of federal or state adult correctional authorities.”  http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=pwh&AN=22841133&site=pov-live  This Article gives me an Overview of the Death Penalty and will make me more knowledgeable when I give my speech. “Today, 74 nations practice capital punishment, and an additional 25 nations maintain death penalty laws but have not carried out any executions in the last decade. Another 86 nations have abolished the death penalty for all crimes. In 2004, the United States ranked fourth (with 59 executions) in the number of executions committed. China is the world leader in capital punishment, having recorded 3,400 executions in 2004 (Iran and Vietnam were second and third during the same period).” http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=5&hid=15&sid=86bd6948-c370-4e70-871b-1f894b41aa85%40sessionmgr2  This article is an explanation of adolescent points of view on the Death Penalty. “Interestingly, the two groups agreed on the crimes most deserving the death penalty: a person who murders several people at different points in time, a person who tortures the victim before killing him/her, a person who murders someone else’s child, a person who kills’ several people at once as in a bomb explosion or by setting fire to a building, and a person who assassinates the President of the United States.”

My mother bought me 2 new books today, under my request. I think Lindsey will like that I got a book about Tiki Barber. I’m very anxious to start reading that. Another book I got is called Steve & Me, written by Terri Irwin about Steve Irwin. I always loved watching Stever Irwin’s show when it was new and popular. I just have to decide which one to read first.

I just discovered that there are only 2 weeks until I leave to go to the Poconos with my church’s youth group on a Snowtubing Trip. We are going to a new place this year called Trout Lake, and we always have fun on these trips. Some of the activities include Snowtubing (duh), Dodgeball, and hopefully Apples to Apples. This brings me to a question. What yearly trip, or family vacation do you thoroughly enjoy?

There exsits a game called Apples to Apples. It is possibly the best game there is. It just triggered me to ask if you have ever played the game and would like to share a funny moment, or if you beg to differ with Apples to Apples being the best game ever. My funny Apples to Apples story is this setup. I’m the judge of the round, and the green card is Unhealthy. My friend Mike puts down his card and walks away from the table laughing. I flip his card over last, and the card read AIDS. Enough said.

Well, today we had the volleyball playoff games. Our team, the Bonesaws, were the number two ranked team. We played our first match against #3 team Team Toilet, and we flushed them down the drain. So, we were up against the #1 ranked team in the Championship Game. It literally came down to the final 6 seconds, and the score was 23-23. We had the ball for the serve as Eric served the ball perfectly. Sean tried to save it, but to no avail. Team Bonesaw had defeated the ex-undefeated Rhinos to win the Volleyball Championship. An awesome addition to my week so far.

I am pleased to announce that my favorite sports team, the New York Football Giants are headed to Super Bowl XLII. They won 10 straight road games this season, including playoff games, and have made it all the way. To win the Super Bowl however, they must defeat the Un-beaten New England Patriots, the best team in NFL history. The last time these two teams met up, the Giants kept up with the Patriots the whole way, giving them things they had never seen as an undefeated team. Sadly, the Patriots went on to win 38-35. Now, the Giants get their rematch. And they are happy to hear that they are the official Away-team for the Super Bowl.

All I want for Christmas, Is YOU!!! BABY!!! Yeah! Oh….whoops. All I REALLY want for Christmas is a PSP. I would rather have a Bonesaw for Christmas, but I don’t think it would work well being wrapped. Macho Man Randy Savage would be pretty hard to wrap. I think I’ll stick with a PSP. I have been influenced by many of my friends to enjoy them. I think I can convince my Mom to get one. I told her that it’s like an iPod, a computer, a picture holding device, a video player, and a video game system all in one. I would probably play it a lot due to the good games out for it, and all of the other options to go with it. I would be very happy to see that under the Tree.

This prompt made me giggle as I read it. I bet you will too. It is: Write about a man who teaches his pet cockroaches how to tap dance. Sparks suddenly flew into the air. Well, here goes!

“Alright, Time Steps. Stomp, hop, leap, front front, step back, step front. Ok, lets see you guys do it. No, no, Marty! Wrong pair of legs! Use your pair that’s closest to the floor. It is much easier. Wow! Impressive Jerry. Hey! You two stop fighting! Now- watch closely to this one. Front front, back back, front, ba-” CRUNCH!!!! “Uh…what? What was that? ” Frank looked around the floor and tried to point out something that wasn’t there before. He finally found it….on his shoe. “No!!! How could I?”

“He killed Hank! He’s a murderer! We’re next! RUN!!!” The cockroaches scrambled around the kitchen floor where they had gotten their lessons, to the outside world. To hopefully find a new tap dancing teacher. One that wouldn’t step on them. Frank went to the living room to sulk. He sat in his favorite chair, rocking back and forth, back and forth.

“I guess I’ll never be good enough to start a cockroach dance academy, huh? I’ll never be as good as Dan, the most famous cockroach dancing instructor in the nation. I knew this was a bad career to try and overcome.”

Frank woke up the next morning and picked up the newspaper from his driveway. From there he could see a small black figure coming up the driveway twords him. He soon saw it wasn’t one big figure, but many small figures moving in unison. Marty the cockroach spoke. “Frank…we’re sorry we ran off on you. We know you didn’t do that on purpose. We made an agreement that tap dancing was important enough to us to die for. We figured, since we can’t take over the world, we would tap dance instead. We also concluded that we would die for world domination, so why wouldn’t we be willing to die to learn tap dancing? Look….we want you to continue being our teacher Frank. Do you accept?”

“Of course I accept! Come on in, I was just thinking of some other moves that I COULDN’T teach you. This is great! Thanks guys!” Frank went on to teach the cockroaches intriguing dance moves. The cockraoches went on to be nation tap dancing stars and Frank was named as the Best Cockraoch Dance Instructor in a competition that was held annually. Dan wasn’t too happy, but Frank got his happy ending.

This prompt is labled as follows: Complete this famous tagline as your own: Please don’t squeeze the ___________.

The thought of this one made me giggle, so I thought of a few i could use.

1. Please don’t squeeze the cat.

2. Please don’t squeeze the dishwasher.

3. Please don’t squeeze the sock drawer.

4. Please don’t squeeze the cheese. (Just say that one out loud…do it)

5. Please don’t squeeze the neighbor’s lawn.

6. Please don’t squeeze the chicken wing.

7. Please don’t squeeze the pot of spaghetti sauce.

8. (I had to) Please don’t squeeze the Bonesaw…I will end on that note.
