200!!!!!!!

This weekend, I celebrated my 200th hour spectacular on Team Fortress 2.
I have been playing this game since about March, and it has taken me awhile to get here, but it was a fun ride. when I logged on last Saturday, I knew it was a more special day. I told all the regulars that were on every day that I was at the lucky 200. After I said that, we had as much of a party we could.
There was a bunch of heavy boxing matches, demoknight wars, spycrab contests, and many more fun games we play.
Then, a guy named Mann Eating Horse sent me a trade request. He congratulated me on reaching 200 hours. he said, "What class do you play most?" I answered spy and he gave me aspecial hat for the spy. It was a really fun time that I will always remember.
 
 
These are some screenshots from the game.

Johnny's Stories

    The most influential and entertaining aspect of Johnny Cupcakes' presentation were his stories. 
    The stories were entertaining because the comedic relief was quite apparent, and the way he told his stories was quite witty. He would weave his jokes into his telling visually and vocally.
    The influential part was who he grew up with and how he grew up. His friends were,quite literally, DRUG DEALERS!!! He still was able  to become a success. The way he told about selling shirts out of his beat-up Camry and suitcase, and his stories of shoveling were extremely insightful with the morals they held. He also showering that you can come from the worst place  and still be a success.

I Think I'm A Ninja

If I could be a pirate or a ninja for a day, I would chose to be a ninja.
I would be a ninja for three main reasons. One is the fact that I will get shurikens. Two is because I will get to be cleaner in the long run.Pirates spend all of their time on the sea, and never get to bathe or clean themselves. pirates can contract any multitude of diseases, and they are extremely far away from ant type of medical care.
The third reason I want to be a ninja is because the ninja have an insane amount of disipline. These people spend their lives doing their ninja duty, and are the best at what they do.The ninja is a precision stealth warrior, and no random citizen off the street could hope to do what a ninja can. You would have to be very well trained and disiplined to be as accurate and stealthy as a ninja is on a bad day.

A Humanitarian Invention

If I could invent a Machine to enrich the future, I would create something like the replicators from the "Star Trek" series.
this device would be able to create what ever provisions a man may or may not need at any given time, as well as luxuries. The device would be able to extract molecules from the air, move them to a central holding unit, and repurpose them to whatever the subject requires at that moment. However, this machine does have limitations. The replicator is limited to any type of food, beverage, clothing, or basic needs like a tent. It will not fabricate any money or weapons, because it is strictly a peaceful invention.
This machine could benefit people because anybody can always have food and water, as well as clothes. There would no longer be a worry about famine or drought, because all that a person needs it at the tip of their fingers.

Survival Without the Funds

    If money was not an object, I would write professional game reviews for IGN. The reviews would be posted on an official website that is read by many people. It would  also be seen all around the world and would be taken serously by people just like me.
    I play videogames almost religiously. I think that it would be a personal achievement for me to think that people actually value my input. The way that the review is posted is a lot more of a professional grade. It is  not like I am some Joe Shmoe from the street that puts up a horrible review for a game on a site nobody has ever heard of.
    I also belive that being able to do this would give me not just an opprotunity, but a motive to go out and purchase a new game. I would also like that there would be people in some far reach of this world that anticipates my next cirtical production.
    I do not believe that this profession will have a huge affect on society, but if my opinion could change one persons life for a split-second, it will have all been worth it,

Paralell Worlds and The Secrets Inside

    There is only one thing that I consider to be a hobby of mine.Even then, I consider it more of a lifestyle than a hobby. I am, what most would call, a gamer.
    This is an undertaking that has been in my life since the start. Videogames have taught me many a life lesson in my younger years. In the year 2000, I just turned two years old. My uncle T and I would sit in front of the screen for hours. We would always play the origional Gran Turismo on the origional Playstation. He would sit with me and read every word that was on the screen, and I would read it back. That is the story of how videogames taught me how to read.
    In 2008,  obtained my first Nintendo DS Lite. My first game for the system was Pokemon Platinum Version. I would play with my brothers all day long. Both of them had Pokemon games of their own. Every day we would play together, and we always have a ton of fun. We bonded ass brothers to a higher level because of video games.
    Videogames have been such a large part of my life for its entirity. It is my pillar of strength on an emotional level, and I relate everything to games. Games and their mark on me will always be close to my heart.

Importance of Origins

    The place that is most important to me is my hometown. My hometown is Columbus.
    This place is most important to me, because this is where my life began. Although I have lived in Lorain for most of my life, Columbus is still my home. Columbus and I have a special bond that has stood, and will stand, the test of time.
    Columbus is a lot like Lorain, buy is also extremely different in many ways. Columbus has plenty of residential area, like Lorain, but there is also plenty more factories than in Lorain. Lorain is a city centered on commercial business. Whereas Columbus is a industrially centered city.
    I have spent almost half of my life in Columbus. I can remember all of the stores there that don't exist here. My favorite shop was Kroger. Once, there was an extremely dangerous hail storm, and I hid in there for nearly half an hour, and hung out with my uncle while he was on break.
    Columbus was a city that shaped who I am today. One day, I hope to return and have the experiences I had as a child.

Summer Time Stories

My summer was uneventful in terms of excitement. Although the summer was quite tame, I did have one exciting misadventure. I took a trip to Columbus.
After a three hour drive on the highway, we arrived at a park in Franklin County. The last time I was here, I was maybe nine years old, but I remember it like I was there yesterday.
Since I was born in Columbus, I have a special connection with it. This is my hometown. I grew up here for a majority of my life, and I missed it. I wish I could move back one day, but for now, life goes on.
I saw my grandma and aunt for the first time in about a year. It was a fun reunion, but a downpour was brought down upon us, and we had to leave a bit earlier then previously expected for our grandmother's home. We stayed there for a few more hours, then decided to leave. The highlight of the trip was being able to have White Castle on the way back up here.
This was the biggest thing that happened this summer, and I am happy that it did happen.

The Meaning of a Name

     My name is my name, and I would not have it any other way. It is an old, stone age, battle worn name. It has held many titles in its lifetime, like a soldier at war.
     Alexander in Ancient Greece, meant leader and protector of men. This follows the life of the great general Alexander of Macedonia. His empire was one of the biggest the world had ever known, and he made sure every person knew kis name. this was hundreds of years ago.
     More recently, Alexander Graham Bell created the telephone. He set in motion a chain of events that led up to what our communication capabilities are today. He was a brilliant man, and one day, I hope to be just as bright, if not brighter, the he was.
     These men, and many more, have left a legacy that will be hard to live up to. That said, my name is a badge of honor. It displays my personality,and my life. It is my name, and I would not have it any other way. I am Alexander, and I will be, forever.

The Number One Rule

In my eyes, the most important rule in life is the " golden" rule. "Treat others the way you want to be treated." This rule sets guidelines for living harmoniously with others.
This rule is based around empathy, or the idea of thinking about, or trying to feel what others feel because of somebody's actions. If someone were to steal money from somebody else, then it paints a picture that tells somebody that this person wants this to happen to themselves. On the other hand, if a person helps an senior citizen cross a street, it would show that this person cares for other people, and would like the same kind of treatment.
This rule, "Do unto others as one would do unto themselves", will remind us that by treating other people with compassion and friendship, others will take our actions to heart, and in turn, treat you with dignity and respect.
