Happy Halloween!





Happy Halloween to all!
My plans for this years Halloween night simply includes staying home and watching scary movies. My brother is going trick-or-treating once again, but not me! I figure I'm to old to go out now and I probably will not get much candy! My most favorite Halloween costume would have to be when I was 3 years old, and I dressed up as a Red M & M! I was so small and the costume made me look HUGE!!! That was the year I had most likely had brought home about 2lbs of candy! My favorite Halloween candy would have to be Candy Corn or Large Hershey Bars. Twislers are good to but they get stuck in my braces. My history of Halloween was already briefly explained, but I can still say more of my past experiences.

From about 2001-2004, me, my brother Matthew, and my cousins Brett and Paige went together. Brett would usually go with his friends, so would Paige. But most of the time we would keep up with them. My Parents, sometimes my Grandma, but mostly my Aunt Holly would walk along the sidewalk while we had our fun. We would get to my Aunts house early so we could get a head start. We would start around 6:30pm, and run until 10:00pm! Talk about a workout! After we finished, (Mostly because we were to tired.) we would combine all our candy into one big pile, then the candy that we did not like someone else could have it! Most of the time we got all the candy we hoped for!

Moving on to my favorite Scary Movies. Well that is pretty easy to figure out because I'm not a huge fan of Scary Movies. But I guess I could share some of my favorites with you!
My number one classic Halloween movie is...
Halloween(With Michael Myers) That movie freaks me out! Especially when I watch it with my Dad or even worse my Grandpa! I say that because right when something bad is going to happen, one of them will yell something out real loud, and I just about go through the roof!!! Most of the time it is my Grandpa. The one thing that freaked me out in that movie is his mask. It's pale white and those who have not seen it before might think it's not scary, once you see it, you'll feel the same! But now back to my favorite Halloween Movies...
My close second would have to be...
Night Of The Living Dead. Not the old version from 1968, the newer one from 1990! The color version. That one is much more realistic looking but some parts of the movie I still to this day do not understand. Some Zombies do not look real. Because they look like they are made of a rubber elastic material. Like how did the Zombies come BACK TO LIFE! Could that happen? And how were they so strong to the point where they could break through a window, and how they can climb up the side of a house. Most of the movie does not make any sense, how did they get out of their crypts? Many had just died and they looked like they have been dead for years. Like Some have been dead for 50 some years, their bones and muscles would have been useless or even gone! Even more, why wasn't the Navy or the Military called in to solve that MINOR problem! All they could have said was "Military, we have a slight problem, we have Zombies that have come back to life! We need Help!!!" I would say that movie is nothing but cornie make believe junk!
My third and final scary movie would have to be Paranormal Activity. The movie is currently in theaters and I want to go see it, but not alone! I'm the type of person that believes that ghosts are real. Why? Well thats because I took a trip with my Mom, Dad, and my Brother Matthew to the Moundsville State Pennitentary in Moundsville West Virginia. That place is downright scary. We had arrived for the final tour at 4:00pm, and while on the tour the Pennitentary seemed very cold and dark. And it was 86 degrees outside and the Pennitentary had no air conditioning. We had arrived at the Dining Hall and while our tour guide explained where we were, we all heard a mysterious knocking sound. As if someone was tapping on the door or ceiling! All the tables in the Dining Hall had been removed when the Prison closed in 1995. It opened in 1876 and closed in 1995. Though it sounded like some inmate was tapping on something. As we continued our tour, we arrived to the cell block. Though there are many in the Prison, we were in the one by the courtyard. The cell blocks rose to about 3 to 4 levels, each on top of each other. I stepped into one of the cells with my brother and the tour guide through the switch and the cold iron door closed. The sound of the closing doors was just terrifying, all you heard was a loud horn and within 5 seconds their was a loud slam! The cell doors were closed, and there was no way out. After we were let out, our tour was pretty much over, but there were a few more stops along the tour. Our next stop was at the Wagon Gate, a place where many inmates were killed from when the Prison opened to about 1959. They were hung. Well over 50 inmates were killed their in the Wagon Gate. Their were 2 riots during the life in the Prison, one in 1973 and another in 1986. Escapes were also a problem, there were 3 Escape plans twice in 1988 and once in 1992. The West Virginia Department of Corrections closed the Prison in 1995 because they thought that Prison inmates were being treated horrifically. Do you think the Prison should have been closed? But the sound of the cell doors slamming, not to mention you can shake the door side to side, that also makes a loud banging sound. Our tour guide told us about how people died horrific deaths their. She even told us how she does not like to go back and turn off the lights by herself, she said she can here the footsteps and voices of inmates walking back to their cells. Some were boiled in pots, some murdered in there cell. The souls of the inmates never left the Pennitentary, they are still serving their time behind the walls. When I got home the next day, I did some research on the Prison, and the cell I stood in with my brother, was the same cell an inmate was killed in. If you don't believe in ghosts, Moundsville Pennitentary will change your mind.
That"s pretty much it. Hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!! Thanks for reading!
Happy Halloween!!!!!!

My Perfect Day

My Perfect Day would start by having a nice breakfast with my Mom, Dad and my Brother. I would have a full pancake meal with some eggs and sausage. Then after that, I would take a trip to a nearby airfield, and I would go flying in a plane. Just a simple ride, nothing big. I would take that plane to New York City; there I would take a tour of the Statue of Liberty. Then go to the Empire State Building and go to the very top and see the view. There in Manhattan, I can see how life is and why they call it the city that never sleeps. After that, I would take a boat out to the Titanic wreck and have a team take me down there and see the great ship. Me, my Brother, Mom and Dad would come along to enjoy this experience. I would explore many parts of the ship, the places that they never go when photographing the wreck. After that I would return home. From there I would...

Well I don’t know? Since that day is sometime in the far future I’m not sure. I don’t really know how my perfect day will be or where it will be, all I know is that I want to be with my family. The passage above was a part of a perfect day that I would like to happen, though it won’t. I don’t know what my perfect day would be like, because if I was to have perfect health for one day that would make my family feel good that I’m healthy, but sad at the same time because I only have a small amount of time to have with them before I go. I would have to see how it would pan out.

A Perfect Day in most types is someone telling you about a fantasy or something that could never be possible. I don't want my last day to be like a fantasy, then it would sound fake or made up. I think of my last day as a peaceful day with the people who love me. I would be in no need for fancy cars or designer clothes, all I would want are my family. Anyway, how can I have a perfect if it is the last day I will be able to talk or interact with my family? I know that my family could not have a perfect day knowing that I’m going to die. Yes my family would most likely do something for me, but I would not want to have a final day with my family, meaning that they would have all this fun, and for what reason after I left. That would make them feel depressed and lonely. My Brother would not have anyone to play with and my parents would be a wreck. I just think of it as only time can tell. And my future is already written for me, yet I don’t know how it will be, I know that I will have a very good life. And that means a life with my family.

Thanks for reading!

Me in Ten Years

Me in Ten Years
What would I be like in ten years? I think I have a good idea.
Hopefully in ten years I will be living on my own in my own house. I plan on having a career in architecture, or an interior designer for houses. Hopefully ranking at one of the most well known builders in the country. That means Higher Pay!!! My dream is to build my own house; here are some of my future ideas…
· Have a beautiful home with an elegant foyer. For example… To have a replica of the Titanic’s Grand Staircase that will be two stories high. Going from the second story to the basement.
On the other hand my way of transportation would have to be a new Lincoln Navigator. How am I going to pay for all this? Well I plan to open my own business. We would do renovations, new construction, and Hotel construction. I don’t know if I will move out of the state, it all depends what state is doing well. Later on in the ten to fifteen year period, I hope to start my own group of classic cars of my own. Some cars on my list would be...
A 1955 Ford Crown Vic
A 1956 Ford Sunliner convertible
1957 & a 1959 Ford skyliner XL500
And yes, I have to have some more!
1958 Plymouth Sport Fury
1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible
1965-1967 Shelby GT350 or GT500
But I need a classic, a 1910 Ford Model T touring (Canadian Version)
Where am I going to store all of these cars. Hopefully I can build an underground garage under my house. That way my cars can't get stollen, my Bedroom will be overlooking the cars!

Cars have always played a major role in my life. My Grandpa is a car collector, see the front page of my blog and you will see what I mean. He has been collecting and restoring cars since before 1960! His first personal car restoration project started in January of 1960. When he found a rotted out, block of rust 1910 Ford Model T. And yes, this is the same car that is on the title heading of my blog! The car was a mess! Thats why my Grandpa has such beutiful cars, he takes his time and does things the right way! The Model T had her first debut at the Old Car Festival in 1971, 11 years after he found her. He showed the car and drove it all over the place, and even participated in long range driving tours. Then in 2002, my Grandpa thought he would restore the car again, and this time as a full blown show masterpiece. The car showed off her new restoration, the way she looked when she was born in the factory. The first show was at the 2003 Meadobrook Concorse D"Elegance. And our luck, the car had gotten drenched. And this car is pretty much all brass. So when brass get's wet, it tarnishes. And right as it started to rain, we were called up to get our award. My Dad started the car, using the crank, no starter moters. The grass had turned to mud, and the car has bald white tires, no tred, just smooth white tire. As we approached the judges stand, we had to go up a fairly steep hill, which was mud. My Grandpa and my Mom looked at eachother, and they slowly drove the car up the mud hill. As the tires slipped, the car pressed on. By the time the car reached the top of the hill, the tires were brown, and the underside of the car was filthy. But the car still won the award, and even if the car got rained on, it still won. It won the full 100 points, and to this day she has won all she can win. I hope I can be just like my Grandpa one day, a Car Guy!!!
This is who I want to be in ten years! I enjoy riding in classic cars, and I plan to have some of my own on day, so Me, my Dad, and My Grandpa can show off our wonderfull masterpieces!
