Dart



Do you know the saying he/she can shoot darts from there eyes? Well in this story I can. My name is Todd Walker. I can't see very well and was very stupid. Also I was a trouble maker. It all started one day when I was in 7th grade. It was the last period of the day and I was dreaming about the great weekend ahead of me. How my friends and I were going to go to a water park for six days. I was in science, Mrs. Panini saw me daydreaming and said,

“ Todd what was the last thing I said about cells?”

“ Uh they like to go to water parks.” Which I hoped was the correct answer.

“ No Todd that is not even close. You have a detention for not listening.”

Wow what a start to my weekend. Detention ended at 4:00. I got home and my mom yelled at me for getting a detention. The conversation went like this,

“ Todd never ever get a detention again. If you do I will take away all of your action figures.”

“ Ok mom I start trying to paying attention in class.” I stated.

“ What you don't pay attention in class! She exclaimed, I'm not taking you to the water park until you get your grades up.”

“ That's a ripoff I was looking forward to this vacation. This was the only thing I looked forward to. I hate you I'm never coming out of my room.”

Once my dad came home he asked,

“ I thought you were going to the water park. What happened? “

“ Todd got a detention and then told me he doesn't pay attention in school. I think you should go talk to him he “says” he won't ever talk to me again.”

“ Ok I will “ said my father.

My father knocked on my door. I didn't answer since I thought it was my mother. Soon he opened the door and said,

“ Son I hope you learn from these mistakes.”

“I'll try dad I'll try.”

Finally I started to cry my dad comforted me and said,

“ Why don't you apologize to your mom she feels really sad that you are mad at her.”

“ That sounds like a good idea. I've also been down in the dumps.”

We went to a nice restaurant. After that I was so tired I went to sleep. I woke up to my mother shouting,

“Todd wake up this is an emergency!”

However I couldn't get my eyes open I yelled back,

“Help me I can't get my eyes open!”

She came in my room and let out a high pitched screamed.

“ Oh my gosh your eyes have darts in them”

I almost fainted my mom said,

“ I have to take you to the ER.” and shouted to my dad. “ I'm taking him to the hospital.” “ Watch the house!”

Once we got there the doctor didn't ask any questions but just put me in a surgery room. I was so frightened to speak. I just layed down on the bed and waited. The doctor gave me some medicine and I was asleep.

I woke up and I could see again right in front of me were to six inch long darts with short sharp tips at the end. I was startled and said to my mother,

“You weren't lying about darts in my eyes.”

My mother just shook her head. After a long talk with the surgeon we drove home. Once we got to our street there were police cars all lined up. We drove up the street our house was blown up. My eyes had a scorching pain in them. I squinted something fast went by my eyes my mother just stared at me and said,

“ Oh my gosh you just shot darts out of your eyes.”

The next thing we knew a hobo with a ripped up shirt came up to us. Once he got closer and closer I noticed it was my dad! I couldn't believe it. I couldn't control myself I jumped out of the car window and went flying over to him. Yes I flew to him. As I hugged him said,

“ Today was a miracle day.” I was puzzled how did he think this was a good day. He said,

“Our house is gone but me and you both survived. You survived the darts and I survived the explosion.”

The last thing he said for today was this,

“ The only important thing is that we survived.” Finally he fell asleep.





This is the origin of dart thank you for reading this.

Download

Download of the Week

Today I’m writing about songs that I downloaded to my iPod the other day. I downloaded many songs but only few are my favorites. Some of them are Dynamite and Break Your Heart both by Taoi Cruz. These songs are in the pop genre. I also like different types of music too such as rock. Most people don’t like Break Your Heart. I know this because most of my friends told me that don’t like this song. I’m not sure why. In my opinion these great songs. I downloaded a lot of music that I like but Dynamite and Break Your Heart the best. They are the best because I like the singer’s voice.

Michigan

Michigan
My family rented a house in Michigan for one week. We stayed in our friend’s house, many people stayed there. Some people were the Swopes and the Londrigans. The Londrigans are from Springfield and the Swopes are from River Forest. There were many great experiences there but I’m going to tell you about three.
We went to the beach many times. I think the best times I had at the beach was when we played kill the carrier and sand football. I think I liked these the most because I was spending time with my friends. Most days we went to the beach to watch the sunset.
With the Londrigans we went mini golfing. I should have had three holes in one but I got zero. At the mini golf place there was also go carting. I got in first place both times that I raced. Jack and I kept bumping each other even though we weren’t supposed to. We got yelled at.
When the Swopes came we went to the outlet mall. The Swopes and I went to many different stores, such as Nike and Puma. We always stayed up till midnight watching TV.
My family had so much fun in Michigan on the beaches. I think we had so much fun because we went to the beaches, mini golfing, and the mall. These activities were fun because I got to spend time with my family.

Zip, Rifle

The Best Activities at Camp

As you probably all have heard, I went to a sleep away camp. This camp was called Hayo-Went -Ha. There were many outdoor activities such as zip lining and shooting rifles. Today I’m going to tell you about both.

The zip line took place on the climbing tower. There was one zip line that you jumped off and then you rode down and went back up. As you lost speed you went up and down more often. On my first turn I held on to the rope. That resulted in a rope burn. On my second turn I let go and it was so fun. Every time someone went down the tower shook. The zip line was not scary. I think that was the best experience of my time there.

In addition to the zip line campers could also shoot rifles. I shot at targets three different days. The targets were about 30 feet away. The first time I shot poorly I only hit the target once and the second time was for instruction period. I shot great.  I hit six out of ten. The third time I only missed two shots! The rifle was about a foot and a half long. We also loaded the rifles ourselves. These were the two best activities at camp.

Camp

Bye Bye!

This is going to be one of my last blogs. This is going to be one of my last blogs because I’m going to sleep away camp then to Michigan. I have to get a lot done this week, such as packing and getting clothes for camp. My camp is called Hayo-Went-A. My camp takes place near Traverse City. As you can guess I’m pretty happy about not writing anymore. I won’t write until the end of July. I know writing fun and all (I didn’t write this statement without laughing.) but I’m going to go to camp.

I’m packing in a duffel bag that can fit me in it. I don’t know how I’m supposed to carry this without throwing out my back! At camp we will be zip lining. For people who don’t know what that is it is a cable from tree to tree that you are attached to and you basically fly. We are also going to do polar bear swim which is when n you wake up early and you swim in really cold water. We are also going to hike up and camp on the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. I hope I will see you all before I leave for camp.

I will miss my parents, my room, and my cats. I won’t miss my sisters and their crying and complaining. I will write to my family three times in letters. They will email me back. After camp we will be going to Michigan as a vacation.

The Shocker

The Shocker

My name is Paul. I do not know my last name. My parents never told me. I was just called by my first name. I was the best student in my class. My favorite subject that I study is weather. I wanted to be a meteorologist when I grew up. Also I was easily bullied. I was not strong I was skinny. The leader of the bullies was this guy named Jimmy Pain. I don't think his last name is actually Pain but when I asked he just shoved me into the closest locker. He also calls me names like bookworm. After I was done eating lunch Jimmy shoved me into another locker again. I definitely had a ghastly life right?

It was a rainy day again. It had been raining six days straight. Today I only got shoved into a locker once today (That’s a first.) After school I walked home. I practically had to wade through the water and maneuver around the huge puddles. It was still storming. Once I got to my house I was trying to get my keys out of my pocket quickly to get out of the rain, but I was too slow. Two lightning bolts hit me on both sides. I fainted.

I woke up and I noticed somebody had put me into my in my bed. At school I couldn't remember anything from last night. I just had two burnt sides. After lunch Jimmy tried to shove me into a locker again but I dodged him. After that he got really mad and said "Paul do you want to fight me?"  I didn’t have time to answer, he charged at me. I really didn’t want to fight him but I did it anyway. I couldn’t help myself I closed my eyes and clenched my fists…  When I opened my eyes Jimmy was on the ground holding his chest like something hit it. People were crowding around us people and were looking at me with huge eyes. I asked what happened they said nothing. At my house I clenched my fists again and lightning bolts shot out of them. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

I had this idea I would exercise and save the cities I was near. I ran to the store got the supplies for the costume I was going to make myself. I thought it should have lightning bolts down the middle and back and blue on the sides of them. I sewed my costume. Here is what people shouted out when I was flying to a scene of a crime.

Oh no it’s rain!  Oh no it’s lightning!  No it’s the Shocker!
