Things Briggs Could Do To Better His Class - Keep Seth in all of his classes so that the future students can get a laugh.

W7A - Life Decisions

The easiest decisions that I have had to make were the more detailed or elaborate ones. Decisions like, what classes should I take, or what car I should get that won't break down on my way to work. The harder decisions were the easier, "yes" or "no", questions. These questions are like, do you want to go out to eat, or do you want to skate. I am often easily confused with the simple things, but when I have a puzzle I can think clearly of all the possibilities. It gets pretty frustrating at times and it effects my ability to make sound decisions.

W6A - Childhood Crush

I am not aware of any childhood crushes that I have had. First of all, I have a bad memory, and second of all, I was a pretty matured kid I think. The reason being that my mom had me going to a babysitter and all I could do all day was play jingo or play with barbies. You see, my babysitter had two daughters. So I basically grew up with them. I saw girls as friends just as the other guys. I played a lot of Tomb Rader while I was there. I guess I thought that Lara Croft was kind of hot at the time.

W5A - Teacher's Choice

A+'s all around. That's the way it should be. I'd give every kid in the class A+'s. This would increase their self esteem to learn more in English and they would always be happy in my class. The catch to this scholastic dream is that the kids must be able to stay entirely quiet when working, unless otherwise informed of coarse. A+'s is the grade that they would see, when I will actually be keeping the actual grade is a separate log. A the end of the year if their grade had improved over the coarse I would give them the appropriate grade.

W4A - The Glorious and the Atrocious

I love strawberries with sugar. They're probably my most favorite of favorites. I can't see at any point that I will ever not want to eat strawberries. Watermelon is my second favorite. Then corn on the cob. A good ear of corn on the cob on a summer day covered in butter is one of the best things ever. I don't like most fancy foods though and I don't like sea foods or Chinese. The salad thing gets me to. Every time I try it it tastes the same (like grass). To me grass and lettuce share the same taste.

W3A - The Beutiful World

My dream is to go on a road trip across the country with no particular destination. However, there are a few places that I wouldn't mind stopping by to spend a few nights at. San Francisco, California is the main stop in my mind. I read all the time in Transworld Skateboarding that it's the best location for skate spots. Plus, most of the best skateboarders come from California. The other place that I wouldn't be able to pass up had I been passing by it would definitely have to be Falling Water. It has got to be the best house that I have ever seen. This house was built over a water fall by sir Frank Lloyd with a stairway leading from the living room down to the water fall.

W2A - Growing Old with your Childhood Dreams

Oliver and Company, a classic. Critics say otherwise but it is definitely a classic. It is one of Disney's better creations. After a while Disney started making movies that weren't as great of the one that we watched back in the day. Oliver and Company was one of my favorite Disney movies. I just love how they fixed in the hilarious fact that cats' fur goes into an extremely "poofy" state once dried after a soak down. If you haven't seen Oliver and Company then you need to see it as soon as possible. Trust me, it's a barrel of laughs all the way through to the end.

W1A - President of the stars

If a celebrity became president, I'd have to say that, Nicholas Cage would have the highest possibility of becoming president. You see, even if he doesn't really have the smarts of the characters that he plays, in the multiple movies he has been in like; National Treasure 1 & 2, Next, World Trade Center, Gone in 60 Seconds, ect., he could still easily act his way through presidency. If he got elected his mistakes would probably be not being able to handle the paper-work very well. His vice president would probably be Jodie Foster for her Intelligent experience. Plus Nicholas, being his intelligent self, would chose her also for her womanly addition to the "House of White".

Paparazzi!!!

So the media/press has got to be the most annoying thing ever. Just think about what it would be like to have random people, that you have had no acquaintance with what so ever, digging threw your trash and following you every where you go... Everywhere. I'd figure that after a while you would want to either punch someone in the face or hide out for a while. the only problem with that is that the press would be all over you and even though you are trying to hide everyone would know where you are and the situation would become calcified as a hostage situation or kidnap. Then swat would come knock down your door and and ruin any since of alone time that you had going for you. That is why the paparazzi should lay off.

How it's done

River currents aren't supernatural or happenings that can only be explained be "nature". It actually has an easy explanation. If you were to follow the river to the end (upstream). You would find a herd of caffeine crazed beavers. The caffeine comes from a local soda factory and they spill the waste into the river. The reason the river isn't soda filled when it gets to you is because the beavers drink it all up. This is what creates the rivers current. They're swimming up stream to drink this caffeine filled soda and the back draft (via water) is the current that you get down stream. NOW YOU KNOW! ( props to bill nye the science guy )

Super-love

Falling in love with a supernatural being probably isn't the best choice in the world but, what ever floats your boat, as they say. One would figure that a super being would be too much to handle. Either they're too strong, don't have enough control, or just aren't completely there. Vampires and werewolves are most likely to be too strong for a delicate human. In the case of a mad scientist or a ghost they just aren't all there be it physically or mentally. The witches/warlocks and wizards are probably the best bet but, even still if you make the mad you could end up being the next frog to be thrown out a window. Dating a supernatural just isn't for me.

Wishes from a little man in a lamp

If I had three wishes I would wish for things that would set me for life. I wouldn't wish for things that I would get bored with. For my first wish I would wish for unlimited money, and I'd be specific, like, "I wish that I'd always have one billion dollars in my bank no matter how much I take out" so that I eliminate having to wish for things that I could just buy instead. I would then wish for the ability to stop time. With this ability I'd have an unlimited amount of advantages in life. For my third and final wish I'd have to wish that no one would ever suspect my virtually unlimited amount of money and skyrocketing talent as strange.

The Site of Dreams

The most beautiful site to me probably isn't what you would consider a typical "Beauty Image," but it is one of the few pictures that I can think of that would catch me in aw! I would love to find an amazing house on a good chunk of land with an enormous skate plaza in the backyard.



That would probably be the most beautiful thing ever, to me of coarse. Skating is most definitely a passion of mine, so if I had a house where i could just go in the backyard and put my passion into practice, I'd question how much better heaven could be.

To my future self

I wrote this to you ten years ago, and I just wanted o see if you are on track with your life he way we had planned or if you took a different approach and if it is more ethical or not. Did you get that job that we always wanted, Did you find a different occupation, or are you wishing that you would have stayed in school. Are you still planning on building that house for you and who ever you are with, and are you still with the girl from high school? because that one seemed like it would last forever. One last thing, are you still skating, or did that get boring after a while. well its been nice catching up with myself, later.

Grandwedding

Grandwedding: A mix between the prefix for grandparents and the root word wedding, meaning, the wedding of grandparents. I imagine that my grandparents wedding was pretty simple. They lived on a farm together so they probably didn't do much to spice it up. I don't know I just can't see my grandparents going all out on a marriage ceremony. The after party is were all the extravagant spending would have went. They'd be the ones to more likely spice up a celebration for the ceremony instead of making the ceremony crazy. Get through the process then celebrate the accomplishment with a bang.

Just Short of Famous

If I could be famous for anything I'd like to be a famous skater. I love skating, it's one of those pastimes that I can't stop thinking about. If possible I would love to make a living out of skating. With skating I could travel to see the world. Picture in magazines would become usual and famous parties would become secondhand get-togethers. When I skate it's like I'm in a completely different world of my own that is only shared with other skaters. The world goes by in different strides when your on a board and different physic come in to play as you flip the board beneath your feet. I just love it.
