The 2010 Olympic Winter Games

The Olympics are the only time I like to watch TV, it is something new and not the boring old, Reality TV shows or the Drama shows that are usually on. It just brings something new for those 2-3 weeks that it is on. This is will also be my first year being able to watch and be entertained by the Olympics see how last year I was only 10 years old and didn’t care too much about the Olympic Games.

One of my favorite sports to match believe it or not is curling! Why? Well because there’s a lot more to it than just throwing a large stone down the alley and then sweep in front of it, there’s many things you have to take into account, you have know how hard you have to throw it, how much spin, when to sweep and know to land the rock in the perfect position.

Another one of my favorite Olympic sports is the speed skating, although the US didn’t get a medal, it is still fun to watch some of the other team’s race. One of the saddest events I saw was when the guy from the Dutch changed lanes and was disqualified, although he didn’t get a medal at all and the coach probably getting fired – on the bright side another guy from the Dutch team won a medal in the same event…

My least favorite sport is the Skiing Aerials; all the skiers do the same trick over, and over and over, all the skiers truly have to do is one more flip and/or spin and land it to get a better score. Also many of the news reporters have absolutely no clue what they are talking about when they see the skiers doing the tricks.

Another big Olympic sport I dislike is the bobsled and the luge, I feel all you have to do is lie down and steer the bobsled or luge. All you have to do is steer just a little bit but anything after that the track is just carrying you.

There may be only 3 more days or so of the Olympic Games but I for sure will be watching them, hope you will too!

A Stormy Weekend - The Big Fish Blog!

It was a dark-cloudy Saturday evening; a huge rain storm was upon us. Before the storm started my family had to go to the store to get some food. It took about 10 minutes to get to the store, while there we picked up many food items (cereal, milk, eggs, etc.) while in the middle of your shopping the store lights went out. It was so dark you couldn’t see the hand in front of you. As soon as the generators went on we bought our food and left.

On the way home we could saw the 50+ foot high storm front, the wind was very strong, so strong the bike rack filled with bikes flew away! It was complete chaos; we rushed into the house groceries in hand. Since the power was out we had to get the generator from our backyard shed, the shed was a distance away. My dad had to run into the shed and hull the large generator out, the wind was so heavy the generator wheeled away down the driveway by the heavy wind…

My Dad finally gotten the generator near the house and hooked up, the house illuminated the dark neighborhood. Near the end of the storm we heard the loudest sound ever heard before it was like 10000 fingernails against a chalk board. My neighbors 4 ft tree had flown out of the ground and landed in my yard and reached over into my other neighbor’s yard!

After the storm had settled and wind gone I could hear my neighbor’s dog pack (5-8 dogs) barking from the inside of her house as everyone helped to cut down the tree into moveable pieces. Just as we got started, channel 7, Channel 2, channel 5, etc. pulled in – every news station in Michigan had shown up to see the massive 10 foot wide hole in the ground. Everyone from my neighborhood to 2 blocks over was there.

It was the craziest weekend of my life, but a very exciting and interesting one.

Iran's Nuclear Program

The US and UN should not trust Iran’s sudden change in plans in their nuclear program.


Iran has stalled for too much time. Iran has changed their mind about sending over uranium to be enriched to foreign countries like Russia 4 times, and all 4 times have been a ridiculous way to waste many people’s time and patience with Iran. According to BBC, Iran is willing to send uranium, but is being stubborn by only accepting to receive fuel for letting foreign countries to enrich it.

Iran is not and has not been a truthful country. Iran in the past has lied and is doing it now, with Iran’s recent statement that they will become a nuclear power and will be enriching highly concentrated amounts of Uranium for nuclear warheads. Iran is like a child lying to a group of people to not get caught building a water balloon launcher and continually lies until their launcher is complete. Iran did such that, they lied and stalled for more time until they had their uranium ready to be a warhead.
