Blog#9 My vacation

My ideal vacation would consist of both me and a group of friends, or me and a special girl. We would go to the keys or Hawaii for our vacation, someplace tropical looking. We would go scuba diving and fishing for tropical fish we would never get to see in Michigan. We also would go out to all the main tourist sites around the area, including a bar or two. I’ve always wanted to go on an exotic fishing or hunting trip. Even Alaska would be a really cool option for a hunting trip too. But we would hangout on the beach for a good portion of the day and do some outside beach activities. If I was with a group of friends I would probably look for a hot Hawaiian chick to bring home with me. I would want to stay for at least a week so I could make sure and get the maximum out of where ever I go, because it’s very expensive and it might be the only time I go. I always wanted to go visit a warm place or even live there. We went on a family visit to Florida when I was around 12. We went to Disney land and it was a very awesome time. But I would like to go now as an adult and get the full experience.

Blog #8

I had just moved into a new apartment with my dad in Imlay city. He is a pretty bad alcoholic and him and his girlfriend of 3 years just split up. I know it’s his fault to I can’t blame her for anything. But I felt that as a son I should be there for him. And not to mention he just moved into a more expensive apartment right before they broke up. So I thought I could help make the payments a little easier for him and be there for him in case his heart acts up again and he needs to go to the hospital. But mostly to keep him company and try to make everything as relaxed as possible to reduce his drinking. I cannot trust him by himself with no one to be there with him. I worry too much and think of all terrible things that could happen. But I know he would do it for me, so since last week I’ve been devoting my time so helping him recover. By the way he’s not just a beer drinker, he likes his whiskey and it’s a shame that he would rather go through life blacked out. But he is one of the greatest people i have met when he is sober so its my main goal as his son to help him.

I have a few things that have affected my life dramatically that I would like to write about. I have lost an extreme amount of weight to make myself happier and I have also been through the courts system more then I would like to share and I now made it 3 years without being in trouble. Plus I’m going to school for criminal justice. So I think I’ll write my memoir about my experience back in high school when I had gotten a drinking and driving. I thought all was lost and I would never recover with that much on my plate. But I made it thought with hard work and motivation. But mainly I had to think of the possible outcomes before I did things I would regret. I think my paper will turn out good I personally think I did a good job and deserve at least a B, but we’ll see how things go. And especially since I have a prior now I need to be extra careful. The more you get the more expensive the fines get. For the first one I had to pay a thousand dollar fine, 6 months probation, counseling, drug testing and 2 500$ responsibility fees annually. The more you get the fines pretty much double each time so be very careful and remember it’s not worth it.
