Welcome Back

 This is one of my favorite pictures of the year because it is unique by capturing a city that looks balanced from a birds eye view.
 This photo is one of my favorites because it seems that the water creates a silky skin, in which urges my desires to go swimming. The water is a great merger. 
This is another one of my favorite photos because this picture creates depth with the smoke that aircrafts created. Its a really neat picture. 


BEST SONG OF 2012

Kid Cudi featuring King Chip: Just What I Am. A song published in 2012 is one of my top favorite songs. Kid Cudi can be known as a "pot head" but his lyrics have much more meaning than smoking. The lyrical genius came up with a song that people can relate too, in which attract my attention. At first I didn't like the song much because of the vague chorus, but the lyrics within the song are relative. Therefore, It was my favorite song of the year and yet Kid Cudi is my new favorite rapper. 

BEST MOVIE OF 2012
21 Jump Street is my favorite movie of 2012. Its one of those movies that has hysterical, metaphorical, and random quotes that capture my personality. The fact that most of the storyline is found in a high school, it grabs my attention because it relates to my everyday life. This movie can be compared to Step Brothers, Super Bad, and The Other Guys, in which has one trying to impress someone or something but evidentially goes the wrong way that works out for the good. 21 Jump Street is my favorite movie of the year. 

MOST IMPORTANT PERSON OF 2012
Barack Obama is found reelected for another term. Not only has he made history because of his ethnicity but he is the first African American to run President for two terms. The fact I live in Texas, most people were found voting for Mitt Romney, in which in my eyes, Obama was an underdog. The fact that Obama was reelected, it was one of the most important events during 2012. His leadership can lead the country into success or failure of our country and most are found waiting. 


MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF 2012
The Newtown shooting is one of the most important events that has happened in 2012. The shooting has caused a major set back through society in the US. Till this day, we are debating for gun use in American schools. Should teachers be able to carry guns to school? If this law passes there was alway be  controversy between sides. 



MOST IMPORTANT ATHLETE OF 2012
Play-off bound, Ray Lewis has been injured while his team marches along. Ray Lewis is a the defense god, in which other teammates need. Although they lost their hype man they are playoff bound. While he is healing he is deciding to retire from the NFL. Ray Lewis retiring will shake the football nation.

1) One thing that happened during my christmas break that I will remember is the amount of time I put in at work. The money I received made my holidays better.
2) One of my resolutions of 2013 is to actually prepare for the life Im heading for after high school, I also want to stop eating fast food.
3) In 2013 I look forward to having the best of time I can in high school.
