Coincidences don’t happen. Well, usually they don’t. They are more likely miracles. Miracle is defined in the dictionary as “wonder; extraordinary happening or marvel”.
That is exactly what happened on that day I went tubing.
The first day, I had high altitude reactions. But it was not skiing and skiing and after one minute I go, “Ow, my head hurts.”
In fact, it was one millisecond that it occurred. Let me tell you how it happened.
When I lay down and look at the sky,
I wonder why the clouds float by,
I go and ask them why,
But asking them I get no reply.
In front of me lay Copper Mountain’s map. I’ve been to all (except two flat traverses) the 
green trials. It was fun. I’ve been to a lot of the 
blue trails. I remember that I wanted to go to a blue trail called Andy’s Encore. But I missed a turn, and went on a hard trail: A black diamond
.
I’ll never forget that time. Let me tell you just how it happened.
Merry Christmas From chaotic mortal! We hope you’ve had a great Christmas. And above all, thanks for reading chaotic mortal.
I am now on an airplane to Denver with puffs of snow in the sky. It was a very long wait before we could get onto the airplane, since Denver was having a LOT of snow.
Finally, we were cleared to take off. After spending three hours on the airplane with a tight schedule (first two hours: reading SkyMall; last hour: Continental Magazine), we finally touched down.
At one I noticed there was a great change. I had thought (my dad too) that the runway was plowed cleanly and the concrete could be showing through.
But Denver’s airport was nothing like that. In fact, we were landing straight into the snow where only little lighted sticks told us where the huge 757 jet was landing. Continue reading
Last Saturday, I went to a best friend’s birthday party. His name was Rocky (name changed), and he was one of my best friends. I wanted to give him something he really wanted, so I asked him.
He told me he wanted Animal Crossing for GameCube. So I went home and told my dad. The next day, he went to buy it. But however, I was not the normal person that gave someone something. I wanted it to be a surprise, even though he told me he had wanted it.
So, to shake him off the track when he was just holding it, I put a rock in it to weigh it down. To make him unable to guess, I took a big box and stuffed it with Styrofoam, and then put the present in.
Before I wrapped it, I put on a sticky that said, “WARNING! BOX MAY EXPLODE IF REMOVED SUDDENLY. EXPRESS CAUTION.†I put a lot of duct tape to make him think that it was going to explode. This was going to be one fun party. Continue reading
On Friday this week, our swim team had a “Jingle Bell Meet”. When I went in, it was the usual: havoc. Everyone was walking around, bumping into each other. Everyone was dropping things, and it was terrifying.
The same was for the deck. As I walked down the deck, someone looked at me, said “39 point 74″ and then kept on walking. I looked at that person, which I judged was a timer. Someone bumped into me, starred at me, said “Merry Christmas” and then went on.
Finally, we got into order. Everyone else who was also in the meet was now in orderly lines, sorted by heat. I walked up to the coach and asked him to put me in order. He looked at me, and asked me what my name was. “Brad,” I replied. He blinked, then said, “Brad, for this meet your new name is Red Group, Heat 1, Lane 5, Section 7.” Continue reading
*This article is on the Lost Maple Trip.*
Well, we had driven for a very long time and I was exhausted. But my dad was even more exhausted. So when the sign for Pedernales Falls came up, we happily turned onto the road. Then, after less than twenty seconds of driving, I began to feel even worse than before.
This was the reason: the road we turned on was going up and down the mountains. Up and down we went, from the top of one to the bottom of the next. But finally, we got to the office, where we were greeted by the staff, who apparently didn’t have a headache.
She gave us a map, and circled out the best viewpoints. My dad looked at it, and then threw it at me, pointing at the circle, “This is where we will eat our lunch, which will serve our purpose for coming here.” Then we drove on. The staff member looked like she was hurt, but she didn’t show it
Little did I know, but we were going to do a lot more than just eating lunch at Pedernales Falls.
Ho, oho! It’s almost the time for Christmas! Only 14 days until the day of Christmas. I have been noticing that everywhere, Christmas is breaking out: the Christmas decorations and trees are up on every street, my friends and me are making wish lists, my other friends who don’t believe are now criticizing it: Christmas is EVERYWHERE!
In this warm and friendly times, it’s hardly possible to listen to any song that’s not “Christmas-eyâ€. One channel on the radio, it’s “Silent Nightâ€, and on another it’s “Jingle Bell Rockâ€. Even in music class, it’s “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeerâ€.
