Utah

So in the next month or so I will be missing school to go out to Utah and see my brother. You see, he left for college about a month ago. It's kinda wierd not having him here, because he has always been here. I can't wait to go out there, because I hear it's pretty awesome. It has some killer nature trails and such.

Tape Measure

Tape measures are used to do lots of things. For one, obviously, to measure things. Another is to measure distances or heights. Tape measures are very useful. We should be thankful we have tape measures.

Stalker

I was just miniding my own buisness, sleeping in my chair, when all of a sudden I hear my dog barking like a mad man. So I get up to see what she's barking at, and I see her looking at the window. The window? Okay, I thought, not sttrange at all. Even though she does this on a regular basis, I always get curious. So I walked over to the window, pulled back the curtains, and I saw a face staring back at me, nothing to strange. Wait a second, A FACE?! I immediatly locked and shut every door as quick as I could. Then I heard beating on the door. I looked out my window to make sure I didn't recognize my personal stalker, and when I did, I felt pretty lame. It was one of my friends. Turned out he left something at my house earlier and needed it back. So, no intruder after all.

A Favorite Memory

One of my favorite memory's that I would bottle up is the 2011 World Series. I remember that everyone coming into the series was doubting the Cardinals would win. We were facing the Texas Rangers, who had already been denied accsess to a World Series victory the year before, and it would have been their very first one. So nobody expected them to get rejected again. But they did. In the cruelest fasion. With 2 outs and down 2 runs in the 9th inning, down to the teams last strike, the Rangers so close, and then a triple off the right field wall. I honestly couldn't believe what had happened, and I kind of just stood there and stared at the T.V. Then I got extremely happy even though moments before I was SEVERLY angry. Poor Rangers fans, they must have gone through a lot the last three years. Then the Rangers were back on top, again by 2 runs, and another comeback, this time tied up by Lance Berkman. after allowing no runs the next half inning, David Freese came up again delivered a big hit, but this time into the bleachers in center field. I didn't mind that at all. So we got the walk off hit, came back the next day to play Game 7, and blew the Rangers out of the water. Poor guys, never stood a chance. And that, is the end of extremly long, exiting, happy filled memory of something that I think would be really cool to relive again. Oh, and plus it was with most of my family, like my grandpa. who died about 6 months ago. So that's another reason.

David Freese rounds the bases after a history making walk-off home run.https://www.google.com/search?q=2011+world+series+game+6&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=QjsvUq2lBYnQ2QXRlIGoCw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=799#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=eN2yAX5k7yBamM%3A%3BtD2zlFT2j6zd8M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fstatic.guim.co.uk%252Fsys-images%252FSport%252FPix%252Fpictures%252F2011%252F10%252F28%252F1319779194017%252FWorld-Series-6-David-Free-007.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.theguardian.com%252Fsport%252F2011%252Foct%252F28%252Frangers-cardinals-world-series-live-6%3B460%3B276

Cardinals

Right now the Cardinals are in second place. Also, one of our best players is possibly hurt! Plus, we've been sorta slumping lately. But hopefully taking 2 of 3 games against the Reds will get us going again. We're only a game back of the Pirates though, and with a month left still in the regular season we should be able to catch them in the race for first place. If not, we're pretty much garenteed a Wild Card spot. But our first baseman, Allen Craig is possibly hurt with a foot injury, and there's no telling how long he'll be sidelined with that injury.

Days Off

http://www.mrfood.com/master_images/veterans-day-.jpg

I think we should have the day off. Because if we have the day off for other holidays such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, then why not have Veterans day off to? In my opinion, it's only fair. Make us go to school for these days or give students the day off, one or the other. This is my opinion on Veterans Day.
