I look at the sign next to the door, Lucky Strikes bowling optional, jeez, there is bar the next store over yet you are the only bowling alley in a 20 radius and your not even marketing that. I mean its not a club, its not a bar, its a bowling alley. Little kids have their birthday parties hear.
I look the lady straight in the eyes and say, through gritted teeth "thats okay, we didn't know, its not your fault." We, us eight, walk onto the lone barren strip of concrete and decided what to do. That was stupid I say loudly, and everyone laughs and agrees, it was my idea, but I'm a kid, I'm not going to admit it. "Lets go to the mellow" mushroom, and we head of into the fogy haze on the 16th street mall.

I was so excited when I got my first suit, it made me really happy. It made me feel like I was James bond and was going to walk around shot some people and save the world. When I got all of my suit stuff like my tie and shoes is made me feel like I was a business person who owned a business and was making money. I cant wait to get my next tie cause they really look cool and all of the different colors and patterns.

It ended up in a tree about 70 feet off the ground in a little thicket of branches sticking off the side of the tree. Me and my dad tried throwing rocks and soccer balls at it but we weren't able to hit it. Finally we decided to go down to the fire station down the block to see if they could do anything. We got down there and no one was there (you have to understand this was Christmas Day) we walked around back and saw some guys sitting, playing a card game. We asked if they could help us and they decided to come and check and see what they could do. When they got there, they took one look into the tree and said there was no ladder that could get that high and if they used the ladder truck it could get damaged. We said thanks and they left.
The next day we made a thank you note for the fire fighters, we went down to drop it off and the chief was there and he said what are these for. I explained that I had gotten a helicopter stuck in a tree the other day and these firemen came by. He asked if they had brought the ladder truck, my dad said no and said they said the truck could get broken. They guy said that we should show him where the helicopter was to see if he could do anything about that.
He came by and looked up into the tree, he then got on his radio and told the other firemen to bring the big ladder truck by. We saw the truck driving down the road and I couldn't help but laugh a little, it was pretty cool. We got to see them slowly aim to ladder and shoot strait into the air and then we hear, "we found it." I was excited, not just because I got my helicopter back, but because this was the best Christmas so far.
If you read this congratulations, if you do please comment

The score was now two to three, soon a kid on my team named Manny skated the puck down and scored, the final score was four to two and we were so excited. Our coaches said we didn't play amazing and I agreed with them but we still played good

One night a week ago, my mom woke up and found my dog throwing up, I heard this and woke up myself, my mom didn't want it to stain the carpet so she went over to clean it up. Then Ranger stared growling and my mom knew he did this a lot and didn't back off. My dog bit her on her hand, she went and out him in his crate and came back up. When she turned on the light she saw a massive gash on her hand and smaller marks in other places. My sisters friend was home and we all went down to sleep in my room and I was getting nervous because it kept on getting latter in the night. And at the same time my stomach was hurting really bad and I felt like I had to throw up so I didn't sleep that night at all.
Anyways, I know that we made the right decision, but at the same time, I really wanted to keep him because when he wasn't around new people he was a fine dog. It makes me sad though because he really didn't know whats going on, but at the same time he was bonded with us and then has to bond with a whole bunch of other people. I hope we can get a dog really soon because without a dog in the house it just feels so quiet.

I mean sure might chocolate might not be the best chocolate out there, better cocoa beans and such. But I am pretty sure that I have fair trade, non GMO chocolate which is also a really big thing. In Africa, almost all cacao farms used forced workers or children to harvest the cacao trees. And also there has been a lot of development in the genetic modification of chocolate to make trees produce more and be disease resistant.
So as you can see Chocolate is much more than just a plain old chocolate bar, it is an art. As I sit here and listen to the soft whirring of the grinder in the background, and licking the chocolate off my fingers, I realize that I can take this chocolate unit so much further than I am right now and I want to as well.
