The Red Convertible

What happened, I think, was that Henry was just way too depressed. He came home from the war and was not the same as he was before. He wasn't active anymore. He didn't talk a lot. He had his head glued to the television. He was like a mute. Didn't communicate with anybody. Almost like a lost cause. 

I think that Henry was like this because something happened to him while he was off at war. I think he made plenty of friends while he was there. But, the issue was that they all died. Or even that he couldn't take seeing all of the dead people around him. He didn't know what to do with himself. So, that one day when he told Lyman it was very hot, he was going to go for a swim, I think he purposely drowned and committed suicide. I also thought that when Lyman let the red convertible go into the river where Henry died, it was very symbolic. The red convertible represented the two brothers relationship. It had its ups and downs just like the relationship. 

Frenemy

            Dear low cleats,

            Wow, you are annoying. I love having you. I love your stylish look when I wear you. You are so comfortable too. You make me faster when I am running around on the field. I am not the fastest person in the world but you cleats make a big difference. Some people think that is doesn’t matter what you are wearing or what brand of equipment you use, but those people are fools. It makes all the difference because if I didn’t pick you, I don’t know what I would have done with those Reebok’s. I would not be the same athlete I am today. You slip in so easily unlike the massive high ankle cleats.  This also means I do not have to break the heel of you shoe since you slip on so easily.

            Yet again, you aren’t that great. You are a drag and holding me back. You are my number one frenemy. I love you but you might have too many faults for my liking. As much as I love you, you destroy me. My playing time goes down because you don’t support my ankles. It is so much easier to twist and turn my ankles in directions they shouldn’t go. Since you don’t cover my ankles, they are free to move. If I had the high top ankle cleats, my ankles wouldn’t be free to move. I struggle to walk because you help me so little. My speed on the field doesn’t matter if I can’t stay on the field for long. You may look nice, but you get warn out really fast. I already got a new pair. If you want there to be a me and you come tomorrow, you need to improve and get better, otherwise, hello Adidas, and good bye Nike. You just don’t have what it takes for my feet. Your game needs to get better for mine to get better. All it takes for me is to open that shiny white box of new, fresh Adidas. All it takes is for you is to straighten up.

From your frenemy,

Justin Sunseri

Why?

For soccer, as usual I am asking the question why. Yesterday, being Saturday, we had a game, we won but that did not bring up why. What brought up why was that he kept me and three other players after the game for 45 minutes to talk to us. He told us why we weren't playing and wanted our response on what we thought. WHY? I wasn't expecting to play at all when I made the team so I didn't care that I didn't play. I was pissed that he spent that long after the game to let me know when he knew we all had to go to the team party. So we all showed up late and of course we got embarrassed when everybody asked us why we had to stay after. Just horrible thought process on his end. And, worst of all, the reasons he gave on why everybody else wasn't playing were invalid. They were way wrong and it seems like he is trying to defend something but I can't figure it out. There is a secret somewhere about what he is doing and I can't figure it out. 

55 Fiction

In English we have to write a 55-word story with characters, a conflict and a resolution. The conflict is I need something to write about. Oh, wait I am writing a story; it is about what I need to do. I am writing about what I had to do and I am so problem solved. 

White Heron

I would take the money and give up the position of the heron. Somebody eventually would give up the position of the heron. This means that eventually somebody is going to be cold hearted enough to get the heron killed but they are going to get lots of money for it. If they are such bad people, why should they get rewarded? So, I would give up the position of the heron to take away the reward of somebody else that would be a horrible person. I guess that makes me a horrible person, doesn't it?

Funny Election Article

This years election I find to be one of the more important elections yet considering how messed up the economy is right now. I have read some articles on the election since it was a requirement for Jaspers class and I did find one online that was very funny to me. The link is at the bottom. It talks about how the election is a race for vice presidency meaning that the vice president candidates are going to win it or loose it for their side in the election. I think this is very true but the way that this article brings it up I thought was funny. It says that their is going to be an issue if Obama is elected president because he is black. Some people aren't going to be okay with the first colored president and he is going to be assassinated according to this website. Also, that if McCain is elected president, he is too old and will die do to old age meaning that Their vice presidents will then be the president when they die. I just thought that it was funny how they brought it up that the president was just going to die. I mean death isn't funny, but the way they brought it up here made it funny.

Soccer Stuff

Yeah, we blew it. We had the first game under the lights at PV. We got many people, like 500, to show up and we lost in the last minute. 1-0 loss to Indian Hills, they weren't even good. We wasted 500 peoples friday night and we didn't even win. 

Soccer Update

The team has turned around a little bit. We are now at 4 wins and 4 losses. We knocked off the team that is top in the league and ranked 4th in counties, Ramsey. We also beat our rival Pascack Hills in a thriller 1-0. I actually got to play! Wayne Hills we also beat and I got to play in that game as well. The score was 4-0. But then we lost to Highlands 2-0 and 3-1 to Ramapo. 

My Rocking Chair

My chair has many memories to it. There is a small chip in it from when I re-chipped my tooth in it. It is a faded white for how long I have had it. It is my favorite type of chair, a rocking chair, of course made of wood. Other people have the nice leather chairs, but not my family and me. I love the rocking chair; it is where I rock between my life with what is to do first, and what is next, and what I still have to come.  The legs squeak because it has been handed down from my great grandparents to me. It is what I have left to remember of my long gone great grandparents. It has one of those lame throwaway pillows placed on it with some dry humor written on it. It reads “Dear God, if you can’t make me skinny, please make all of my friends fat”. It is the chair that I sit in when I need want to relax. It is the chair I sit in when I’m stressed. It is my everything chair.

Mr. Kapasi

            I had another tour to do today but this was my favorite tour to give. The family was foreign and the mom (Mrs. Das) was very pretty and wore fewer clothes than most of the people here. The best part was I think she was attracted to me. She said that being an interpreter was romantic. We swapped addresses and we are going to write letters and she is going to send pictures. It brought us even closer, I think, when I saved her one kid, Bobby from monkeys. I can’t wait for those pictures to come!

Whip Around

“Heres a toast,” I say. I I’m So alone, only one standing. Knees weak arms are heavy, vomit on his sweater already, my old buddy. "Fool dropped out of high school!” It is very quiet now. I should be complimenting this guy for his great creation of the beer helmet. “Since we couldn’t afford champagne, put your Paper cup up, take it higher.” Know some cheers and claps are coming in. “I always told him to just make your move. He had the passion for glory. 

Mets

What the hell? Why? its really obnoxious. You work so hard all year to mess it up in the last week of the season two years in a row. Your fans are pissed at you. It is a team of greatness and they can't make the playoffs. Its ridiculous. I mean, we are used to losing a lot but it shouldn't be happening anymore. 

Gaming

I love to game on these laptops. I never thought I would stop. What got me to stop was everybody around me was getting caught. As my friend games next to me, I wonder why people don't stop gaming. Are they that addicted? I don't think it is worth getting in trouble so I could have fun and game.
