there is a flying mouse

This thought has haunted me since the second grade. What happens after we die? It is a classic question but one day a gave it a bit of thought. We could go to heaven. But then we are there forever, it never ends, it just goes on and on and on. If you think about it, thats kinda scary. But what if we dont go to heaven, What if we go to Hell? Its scary enough to think about what is down in hell. Let alone that you would be there forever. But what if neither happens? If we just disappear. That is scary too. It is actually preety haunting if you think about it long enough. I just thought that I would share that thought with everyone.

I have read a few creepy books lately.  One by Stephen King and I’m in the middle of one by Dean Koontz. And I noticed something, They are both really creepy people! I saw Stephen King in person at some sort of book signing and he was the scariest person I have ever seen! His voice was creepy, his smile was creepy, his hands were creepy. He was just all around creepy. And in the back of the Dean Koontz book is a picture of him. It was the same story, all around creepy looking. Then I realized that your personality is what decides the genre of their writing.  My teachers have told me that my whole life, but I guess it was one of those things that you have to learn on your own.

I think we all remember the Taco Bell dog. The one that wanted Taco Bell and spoke in spanish. We all no this famouse dog, but do we know how he died? Ther are rumors that he died because he was old or because he got sick. But I know the real story, He was killed by eating Taco Bell! The food tastes good to us, but for a dog it is lethal. That is the real story. So remember, never feed your dog Taco Bell! He will be dead by morning. That is the sad story of the Taco Bell Dog.

Everybody has heard of the keebler elves. They are sweet little elves
that sell cookies and live in trees. But that is just there cover
story. The keebler elves are actualy a gang. They sell there cookies
(That are actually made in sweat shops) In dark alleys for drugs. That
is why they always seem so happy. Its not the sugar, It's the drugs.
But I know how to end the drug abuse. We must kill Dick Cheney. He is
the one behind it all. He is an elf himself. We need to end this. I
have a Plan.

I am playing Cresthill basketball. I made the B team this year and that is pretty good. Our team is made up of some pretty good players. But our coach is threatening to move one of our players down to C team and moving someone up that no one likes from C team. So yesterday the player that might have to move down had to do really well to stay on B team. But he had the worst game of his life. He missed four lay-ups, missed all of his shots, and turned the ball over more than any of us combined. So today during practice he might move down. But if a miracle occurs, he might stay. And that is definetly what everyone on our team wants.

This is part two and a half because its not really following the story. I thought that I would fill you in on how the kids were taking the whole thing. I’m going to go through each child individually youngest to oldest.

M.E. (Mary Elizabeth)
Age: 7

M.E. is the youngest of the three children. She is one of those children that is shy around people she doesn’t know, but once she gets to know you better she is full of energy and fun. When M.E. found out the bad news she was very upset. But I don’t think that she really understood the gravity of the situation. But she was sad because there was something wrong with her mom and what seven year old wouldn’t be sad about that.

Briden

Age: 9

Briden is the middle child.  He is the type of kid that isn’t shy around new people at all. He is loads of fun and always wants to hang out with the big kids. When Briden found out about his mom, he was sad. But I still think he didnt sense the gravity of the situation either. But he understood a bit more than M.E. did. He didn’t cry that often but he was still pretty heartbroken.

 Collin

Age: 15

Collin is the oldest of the children. He is not shy but not ecstatic around new people either. He is energetic and loves to have a good time with his friends.  When he found out his mother had a tumor he completely understood the situation was very bad. He knew that it could be deadly and that his mother was scared and afraid that she had a high risk of losing a lot. He told me that he cried only sometimes at night when he was alone because he didn’t want to make anyone else sad. He took this the hardest out of the three children. Because he knew what could really happen to his mom. When his mom told him that she would be fine and nothing was going to happen to her, he could see it in her eyes that she didn’t know what would happen.

This link links to the journal of the woman who had a tumor.

Now that you have read her side of the story you can see that this was very serious to her and her family. But now I will continue her story.

As she said in her journal she looked and looked for different ways to get rid of it other than to have to perform surgery. But it was too large. 3.5 cm. is a big tumor after all. So the only other way was to perform surgery. They told her that she should probably take care of it right away but she didn’t want to. She wanted to spend one last Christmas with her family because she wanted to go through that happy jolly time of year before she got surgery. 

So she went through the following few months and it went fairly unnoticed. But it wasn’t completely unnoticed. There were times when she could tell something was wrong. There were times when she got dizzy out of nowhere. And others where she bent down and got huge migraines. But this didn’t happen very often. The months were actually very happy months. It might sound crazy but its true. She was being well cared for. There were all of the gifts for one thing. They were pouring in like it was Christmas, your birthday, and mothers day combined. She was getting therapy for the pain and dizziness. She also received numerous dinners with friends and family came to visit. So she was very emotional at this time. She was happy that everyone was so concerned, worried that something might go wrong with the surgery, and probably scared for her children. But the months went by smoothly and before she knew it it was only two weeks before her surgery.

I will continue the story in my next blog.

There is a woman on my street who just came back from head surgery to remove a tumor. It may sound good because they got it out, but before the good news there was a lot of bad news. Here is the story.

This woman was having ear pains so she thought it was a ear infection. So she went to see the doctor to get some antibiotics from the doctor. But when she got to the doctor he said it could be a little more serious than that. So he sent her to get her head scanned. She wasn’t expecting anything bad so she wasn’t that worried. But then her doctor came to her bearing bad news. He told her that she had a tumor behind her ear. It wasn’t cancerous but it could still cause some damage. He told her of all the different procedures that were available and all of the risks there could be. So she went home to talk with her husband about it. He was taken back by this news as was she. They decided not to tell the kids for a few more days or until they had more knowledge on the subject.

That is the end of part one in the story. The woman goes to the doctor expecting an ear infection and comes out with a tumor that could be life threatening. If you could only imagine what she was going through you would be crying. So if she doesn’t get the surgery she could die or cause serious brain damage. And if she does she could lose complete hearing in that ear, lose most of her eyesight in one eye, not talk right for the rest of her life, and not be able to walk right for the rest of her life. And she has three kids and a husband to worry about as well. So this will clearly be very very hard for her.

There is a kid on my basketball team who truly truly sucks at life. I am not going to give a name but anyone on my team would completly agree with the following statement. That this kid needs to quit basketball for the rest of his life. He thinks he is so great but he is absolutely forrible. He claims he doesnt need to practice when he is clearly the person needing the most.  He tries putting the ball behind his back and he loses the ball. He tries shooting a lay-up backwards over his head and misses the back board by five feet. Luckily our coach makes him sit the bench for the entire game. But when he does go in the game he gives up at least 8 points in one minute and that is no exageration. It just makes me so mad that we can be a better team without this player. But no matter what we do he wont quit the game. So I guess for now I’m just going to have to avoid this person as much as possible. I will update you on things this person does over the weeks so watch for that.
