Review - Acer Netbook

Need a very portable, stylish and inexpensive laptop? Then, the Acer Netbook is the laptop for you! The screen is ultra thin, 10.1" and LED powered. The whole laptop is only 5 lbs. It comes with Office 2010 Starter, so you can use Word and Excel.
The Acer Netbook comes in 5 stylish colours depending on your tastes: light blue, red, black, grey and white!
Costco had a really great permanant deal on this laptop: 279,99$. What a great buy!!

This laptop is really great for my age (14)  because it does the trick. I don't really need a big expensive laptop because I have no obligation for that. If I were an adult working constantly on my laptop all day for work, I would probably want a bigger unit.
Just a small impediment: I am a very original person, so I love the fact that the Netbook comes in different colours, so I own a light blue one. The only thing is that the laptop only has Windows 7 Starter, which means that you can't change the desktop back ground. You can purchase a full version of Windows 7 for 90$.

It is also very easy to earn enough money for this laptop for it is only 279,99$, which is what we all like to call a great deal.

Issue Piece - Answering with a Question

Draft #1
"So what's wrong?"
"What do you think is wrong?"
Well, if I knew what was wrong, I wouldn't have asked! Like, really. Do you really think I go around asking people a question and then say: "Oh ya! I already know the answer to that! What was I thinking?"

Now, let's elaborate that idea.
"So what's wrong?"
"What do you think is wrong?"
"I dunno. I just want to understand, ya know?"
"What is there to understand?"
Uh, your problem, maybe??!?? The other person's acting all down and sad, then they claim that NOTHING is wrong. Hmmmmmm...

It really bugs me when people answer my question with a question because, well, I asked a question for a reason! Not to add even MORE mystery to the situation!
The funny part is that when you answer the person with a question, THEY get all pissed.

Its even more frustrating when your having a very serious conversation with the other person where you NEED to have all the details or else. Then, they answer you with a question. And you haven't gotten anywhere. ARRRRRRGH!

And that's the worse part: Not moving forward.

Parallel Stanza - Travelling

Alicia
March 26th 2011
Travelling
I love travelling.
You never get bored
And eating is lotsa fun,
On the bumpy road.
In our sun-kissed RV, you can’t get enough!
My big shades hide me from the hot rays,
And I drink the wind leaking from the open window.

I hate travelling.
It’s so boring.
You can’t eat
because of the rocky bumps.
Looking out of the rain soaked van window
Disappointment hides the twinkle in my eyes
And I drink the tasteless bottled water.

7 Ways to Look at Chocolate

1.
Among all the junk food
in the world,
I only run on chocolate.

2.
Cookie and milk is the stairway to heaven.
Chocolate, milk and cookie
is when you get there.

3.
He who eats of thy food of thy gods,
feels like thy gods thyselves.

4.
After a day's work,
I break off a square of heaven and
gulp it down real quick.

5.
Victory soars in the air.
War is over! Our soldiers come back home!
We lift our chocolate real high.

6.
The slaves picked the cocoa beans
off the plants for the richer.
They sometimes steal one or two for
cocoa bean is an excellent source of chocolate.
And chocolate is no sin, right?

7.
It was evening all afternoon.
It snowed and it will snow.
The chocolate wrapper lay engulfed be the snow in the dump.

Réflexion de santé - Annonce anti-tabac

1000 non-fumeurs meurent à chaque année au Canada à cause du tabac.
C'est vraiment triste! 1000 personne meurent à cause des actions d'autre Canadiens.
Et, l'autre chose c'est que 75% des fumeurs ne savent probablement pas qu'ils ou elles peuvent tuer quelqu'un d'autre en fumant.
Je pense que cette information est assez choquante et que peut-être que ca pourrait finir toutes incertitudes d'arrêter de fumer. "En plus que ce n'est pas la meilleure chose de fumer pour moi, je met la vie d'autres personnes en danger... hmmmmm."
C'est vraiment quelque chose qui te fais réfléchir.
J'ai aussi appri qu'un enfant d'un fumeur a plus de chance d'avoir des problèmes d'apprendissages et de l'asthme très grave qu'un non-fumeur. Ils ont probablement plus de chances de mourir de cancer de poumons, de coeur, de cerveau ou/et de sinus.
Cela me fait penser. Est-ce que cette information est vraiment assez pour faire quelqu'un arrêter de fumer?  Ou peut-être au moins juste réfléchir avant d'allumer une cigarette devant son enfant? J'espère  que oui!
J'espère aussi que tu as aimé notre annoce publicitaire! C'était vraiment l'fun à faire!

Haiku - Could this be paradise?

Draft 1

Why travel the world
when all you need is here
and you didn't even know it?

(Anybody recognize the title?)
