Cristain the Lion!



You might not think this is very cool but I thought that this was amazing.John Rendall and Ace Berg found a cub lion for sale.It was cramped in its cage so they decided to take it home.The cub grew up and was raised with them.Eventually Crisatin got to big.John and Ace were forced to take him back to Africa.Once released into the wild Cristain became the leader of his own pride. A year later they wanted to go visit him but were told that now that he was introduced to the wild he wouldn't remember them anymore.Of course they went anyway.When they got there and the lion finally appeared and saw the men he ran up to them.He jumped up and hug his old friends, nudging them and wrapping his paws around them lovingly. It just shows that human or lion families always stick together and even after being introduced into the wild Cristain still remembered and loved them.

I love it.I think its so cute!and its an overall amazing and touching story.

My friends and their wacky ways!

My friends. What can I say about my friends.Only that they are the best.My friends are always there for me, they are funny and nice and we may be weird in so many ways but that's why we all get along so great. We all have personal jokes that anyone else from other groups would not get they would just look at us like we were nuts. Take for example me and my best friend Nikki, we have so many inside jokes that go so far back that sometimes one of us wont even remember what the other is talking about.Me and Cassie are pretty much joined at the hip (another inside joke, same classes and some of the same sports).

The point of this is that I wouldn't be where I am today if my friends hadn't been such awesome friends.You've been the best guys best I could ask for. Thanks heaps.

PS:
Nikki: been my best friend for as long as Ive been here.
Bailee: Best of childhood friends from way back
Gabby: Dito on the above.
Cassie:Joined at the hip literally-jokes-and figuratively
Tishana:All dimples and giggles-so much fun, tishana-llama
Charne:My pirates of the Caribbean buddy-pirate bob
Lisa: A personal joke right here-we know what they think
Kayla:And another one-My window buddy.....
Alisha: Yet again another personal joke-Hot?or Cold?
Becca: She understands everything and is always there to help
Jade:Hilarious in her own quirky ways
Amy:My sports buddy, and my awesome talking buddy.We get each other.
(Jordan's my best mate to but this is the list for my girl mates.My guys mates miss out)


You can tell that I couldn't think of something to right about today.............. :)

Grief :(

Grief is the sort of thing that can either hit hard and fast leaving you broken and sad or it can come on slowly seeping through and permeating into all aspects of your life.Either way the result is the same.It still hurts just as much. You can loose a family member, or a friend. Or you might not have even lost anyone you've just been through something horrible and no one can no what you feeling because we all react in different ways.Some might get suddenly sad and nothing will put a smile on their face, some will get mad and some will just move on even though deep down their quietly grieving all by themselves.
As a friend there isn't a hell of a lot that you can do except to be there when they need you. You cant take the pain away you cant make it any easier on them even though you wish that you could. You can grieve with them but you'll never really know exactly what they are feeling.All you can do is lend them a shoulder now and again. Cry with them when they are sad, listen when they talk and be as much of a friend as you can.

Grief is upsetting and its everywhere. Its on the news, in the happiest of homes and even in the school playgrounds. What compelled me to talk about this I have no idea.Grief brings people together. That sounds horrible but it does. People who have been through something horrible will grow closer to the ones who stick it out with them. That's why I think friends and family are the best people to have around when you grieving.

Book review:Holes by Louis Sachar!

Time for the monthly book review which hasn't been so monthly oops! Holes by Louis Sachar is a surprisingly suspenseful story that story that weaves in and out of the past events from camp green lake and the present situation of a teenage boy Stanley Yelnats. It is a well written novel but also a great movie.Stanley Yelnats's family has a terrible history of bad luck and Stanley always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. So its no surprise to Stanley when his bad luck gets him in court for a crime that he didn't commit. He was given a choice of jail or camp Green Lake. Of course he chose camp Green Lake I mean what would you choose. The camp turns out to be a lot different than he expected. He was forced to dig one hole every day five foot wide and five foot deep through a dried out crusty layer of earth that used to be covered by a beautiful lake. While hes there the past begins to unfold on how exactly the lake dried up, how the Yelnats family came by such bad luck and how all these event tie in with camp Green Lake and the people residing there.

This is an interesting and suspenseful story that will confuse and excite you withs its many twists and turns. The book is great and movie is almost just as good.Holes by Louis Sacher.
