10 Me's

If I were to have 10 exact copies of me for one day, I believe my life would be much less stressful. I would have a copy continue typing this blog, filling it with endless details. Another copy would be driving me home, where the third copy of me would assist my father in any chores or work he would like. My fourth copy of me would go to my job at 7:30 AM and clock out at 7:30 PM so I would get a few more hours in. While my copies are working efficiently, I will be napping, simply waiting until I feel like doing something. When I wake up, my chauffeur, aka #5, would drive me and 4 friends to the fanciest of places to eat, for example, a combo meal from McDonald's. At this point is where my other 5 copies really get useful...I will have the other 5 copies of me go "borrow" a few brand new cars, computers, phones, shoes, and anything else you can imagine, from the retail stores. Now I have 5 copies who have been on tape or recorded stealing, while the other 5 have perfect alibis. When I arrive home, I will stay up all night enjoying all of the goods my clones brought me. All in all, having ten copies of me would be very helpful, despite there being crime involved.

My Island

The perfect island for me would have a few defining things.One thing my ideal island would have is a normal, day to day, temperature around 85 during the day yet a slightly cooler 70 after the sun goes down. The island would be very overgrown in certain areas, and this is due to the daily misting and the soft rain nightly. The island would be full of trees, small animals, and there would be a giant beach with white or very light tan sand. The water around my island would have to be warm to go swimming at all times of year. The most magnificent part of my island would be the two houses it has. I would have a house all the way up in one of the tallest trees with a glass ceiling. The house with the fancy interior would be on the beach. On my fancier house I would use a metal roof so I would be able to hear the rain every night. While I stayed at the island I would take a four wheeler through the forest to see all the different scenery and plants. All in all, my perfect island is very unique.

$20

I am a $20 bill, stuck in a dark yet temperate place. All around I hear voices and noise, yet I cannot distinguish what the voices say or what the noises exactly are. I suddenly hear somebody asking for change and I m scared that my time has run out...suddenly I see a hand reaching for me...but wait, the hand took my cousin Bill, I'm safe...for now. I now lie here in a folded state, and I hear a door chime, footsteps tapping elegantly on the new tile floor when the rhythmic noise is broken by the cha-ching of the register....again I am in fear I will be stuffed into the register where all the wrinkled cousins of mine go....all of this is just one short evening... I start to say goodbye to all my friends and then I see Jerry taken! After about 3 more never-ending hours, I am safe on top the dresser for one more night.

MagicPhone Apps

If there was a magic smartphone, it would come with a few apps pre-installed. One would be the 'Anytime Anywhere' App. This app allows the user to go anywhere, anytime, circumstances do not matter. The second app the magic smartphone would come with is the 'Levi's Burger Palace' app. This app would allow the user to go to the website and choose any item and the food, preferably the "Artery Closer", and choose where the menu item would appear. The third and most fun app of all is the 'Red Button In A Clear Box' app. This last app is made to test the strengths of human will. On the box, a big yellow and black warning "DO NOT OPEN, AND MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT TOUCH THE RED BUTTON" is printed. However, many people do not read the terms and conditions which state the app may cause you to be forever rich, immortal, and the button may also cause an apocalypse. I know you are all so tempted at this point to buy the magic smartphone and test your luck, but do not. *Somewhere, in this very moment the red button has been tapped....*

The Artery Closer

Although there are many things on my menu, I believe there is one item that cannot be replicated, nor can I leave it out of the main spotlight...It is the Artery Closer Burger from Levi's Burger Palace. On this beautiful monstrosity there is a minimum of 5 1/4 pound patties.  We include a slice of cheese in between each patty, a bun in between every 3 patties, and we may even go as far as putting some nacho cheese on a few of the patties. This gorgeous burger will be sandwiched between 3 buns, with jalapenos hidden under the bun, resting in more nacho cheese sauce. This burger would not be a star without the most important step in production...the deep fryer. After your patties are grilled most the way through, we will put the cheese between the patties, and drop it in the deep fryer. This is crucial to the perfectly cooked outside, and the juicy, satisfying inside. The fryer achieves what a burger on a grill cannot, it melts the cheese to a bubbly consistency, and keeps the patties in place when we throw them into the bun. Although we offer lettuce, onion, pickle, and toppings; this burger is just plain bomb without it. (Disclaimer: Levi's Burger Palace is NOT responsible for any damage to your heart or overall health and quality of life.) (Disclaimer #2: This burger may not actually close your arteries, but if it does, you are held responsible to pay for all medical bills of your own.)

Comforts

There are many comforting things to me. I think the most comforting things are music, driving, work, working out, and being with friends. Of all the things that comfort me, being with friends works the best. I like being with friends because it gets my mind off things and helps me concentrate on what is really important, being happy. The second most comforting thing to me is a combination, driving is nice, music is nice, but when they're combined, it's the best thing in the world. Driving comforts me by seeing all the different scenes and taking in all the environment.  The music part helps comfort me because I can act silly and laugh at myself. Although work seems to cause many people stress and dismay, I enjoy being at work and helping others. At my job I can help solve people's problems and I can even send some people on their way with a smile. All in all, work is something I strangely enjoy, although many seem not to. Overall, the world offers many comforts and sometimes they don't appeal to you in a certain situation but that shouldn't stop you from being comforted by them later.

My Name Is...Levi, Like the jeans

My name is Levi. Although there is not much reasoning behind my name, considering it was born from random thought; it still has a great meaning behind it. The meaning of my name is "join." My name is of Hebrew origin, and is also shown in the bible as the lengthened version Leviticus. I am happy i am a Levi, not a John or Tom, or even a Billy or Bob, because it makes me different and I don't get confused with others. I get to tell people, "No, my name isn't on the key chains or bracelets, but my name is on the back of some blue jeans and yours isn't." Levi, my name, is pronounced as "leave-eye" smashed together with a certain swiftness. Although I have a few names associated with mine as people typically misspeak and misspell, such as "levy, lev-i, and Eli", people have been getting better with my name as the popularity grows to the public. One thing I must add is how I introduce myself to avoid these mistakes, "hello, I'm Levi...like the jeans." Now that may sound goofy, but believe it or not, it really improves the memory of my name in some peoples' minds. All in all, my name is what defies me from the Johns and Daves and makes me who I am, a unique person with a unique name.

2000 Years Ago Animals

If I lived two thousand years ago and had the choice of one dozen chickens, a horse, or a cow, I would choose the dozen chickens. The chickens have a few benefits the other animals do not. A dozen chickens have the ability to reproduce; whereas the single cow or horse cannot. Another benefit to having one dozen chickens is the capability to sell the eggs or even eat them. If the  chickens stop producing eggs you could eat the meat of the chicken. Another advantage of having chickens instead of a cow or horse is the size the animal needs and how much the animal eats each day. For example, horses should have room to move freely in and roam around. A cow needs space for eating such as a pasture. A dozen chickens only need a place to live such as a small shack, although it may cause a lot of clamor. The most obvious advantage of having chickens is the amount of food needed to  keep them fed. Overall, 2000 years ago, the chickens would be the better choice of all three.

KFC-Grossest Food

The grossest fast food I have ever eaten was just unbearable. The fast food that made a wrath of my stomach was from a KFC. The Brunswick KFC is just an atrocity. I believe if you set out a piece of Popeye’s chicken for three weeks exposed to the elements and the rest of nature, the KFC would still be less appetizing. The breading on my, supposed to be delicious, KFC was soggy and falling off. I have never been to a chain restaurant that has made me more disappointed. I think my grandmother blindfolded in a room full of rotting ingredients could probably make something that would taste, or at least look better. Not only is the breading on the KFC bad in Brunswick, but the chicken also tastes bad. Don’t get me wrong, the breading was awful, but the chicken tasted like it had been rolled down a muddy hill during the hottest day of summer. All in all, don’t go to the Brunswick KFC because you’ll be massively disappointed.

Never Do's

There are many things I will never do, however, there are many more things I will never do again. One thing I will never do again is try to ride a donkey like a bull. This will never be something I would do without peer pressure; the pain is just not worth it unless somebody records it happening. Another thing I will never do again is trying to eat as much McDonald’s as I can in one sitting. My record so far is five McDoubles, a small fry, and a small coke. After you eat the first three, the rest start tasting awful. Most of all, I would never order a sandwich with mayo again. I abhor mayo, and you may never be sanctified if you purposely put mayo on my sandwich. I routinely go to McDonald’s as a snack, and for quite a while I had been ordering McChickens. I specifically said “NO MAYO PLEASE!” but that didn’t stop them from ruining my delicious meal with a mayo covered McChicken… There are many things I will never do, but these are only a few of the things I will never do again.

A Dash Through The Forest

(Based off picture shown in class.)

The girl ran through the forest, chasing the man who had failed to fulfill his promises. Not only did this mysterious man promised her the key to happiness, but he also promised immense wealth and success. In return for these promises, the girl had accepted the challenge of walking blind folded for one hundred steps in any direction the man had said. However, in the moment she started walking, the strange man had taken off in a mad dash away from the blind folded girl into the forest. In a whirl, she threw the blind fold off, and sprints after him, she was gaining on the man, step by step inching closer...When suddenly, she trips over an exposed root, causing her to look down to catch herself, in this moment, the man had disappeared. After she slowed down to a walk and had started to scavenge the forest for any sign of human life, surprisingly, the girl finds a hole, a hole just big enough for her to fit in and it seemed to have a never ending depth. Suddenly, the man jumps from a nearby tree as the girl inspects the dank cavern, and with one swift kick, the man boots the girl into the what seems to be never ending pit of darkness. While the girl is falling, she starts to relive all the memories she had ever experienced and all at once, the bottom had become visible, the girl felt as if her life was going to end any minute. Right before this tragedy occurs, the girl wakes up, only to realize it was all a bad dream...

Pizza Business Journal

Pizza Business If I was to start a business, I would create a business to make specialty pizzas. I would create the most delicious, yet odd pizza creations known to man. I would make pizzas so diverse that the public would have no option but to try them! One type of pizza I would make is an ice-cream sandwich pizza. It would be served out of the freezer for dessert after you tried one of my new KFC Pizzas! Another pizza creation of mine would be the pretzel pizza, which includes a hot, soft, pretzel crust, and pieces of pretzel on top with a cheddar cheese drizzle. If you like Auntie Ann’s pretzels, you’ll love my pizza! Out of many places to start my pizza shop, I would choose a place downtown in a major city to attract many new customers on a daily basis. Overall, my ideal business would be a pizza shop where the equanimity comes out of everyone.

The Flood

           In case of a worldwide flood, I would save five animals. The first, and most important, animal is a dairy cow. The cow is most important because it can provide dairy for drinking or food products, and meat in the worst situations. The second animal would be a large dog or wolf for protection and hunting. I believe this is useful for after the flood recedes. Thirdly, I would choose an alpaca for the warm fur during the winter months. The fourth animal I would choose to save is a horse. A horse is useful for transportation and also for cargo moving. Finally, I would choose to save a chicken, the chicken is ideal for a survival situation for two reasons. One reason a chicken is perfect for a survival situation is for the protein in eggs, and the meat after the eggs do not produce anymore. If all the animals survived the flood, I would combine the chicken and cow for a pizza as a celebratory feast. All in all, there are far too many animals to just extricate five in a flood situation.

#1 Rule

My number one rule is to always have pizza at parties or gatherings. And believe me; there are many reasons to choose pizza over carrot sticks or something boring. One of the best reasons to always have pizza is the variety of kinds and at the same time the simplicity that is also just amazing. Secondly, pizza has almost all of your food groups in one single meal. Thirdly, pizza brings the aspect of being able to move while you eat and socialize. Pizza builds anticipation, most people swarm the door when the pizza arrives; you and your lame carrot sticks won't do that! Finally, what teenager, cool adult, or "bro" doesn't enjoy a good slice or five of pizza. Overall, just buy some pizza for your next party!
