My theme word for 2011 is improvement. I only have 3 more semesters of high school left, so now is the time to kick it into gear and get things ready to graduate and get into college.
This past semester my grades slipped dramatically and now I have some catching up to do. My grades are my number one priority for improvement.
I also want to improve my relationship with my family and with my friends. I feel like there are certain people that I've lost contact with in 2010, and I really need to improve on becoming a better son, brother, and friend.

Book 1 and 2:The Innocent Man
What if you were convicted for a crime you had nothing to do with? Pretty tough. How about being sentenced to death for something you had nothing to do with? Sounds unheard of to me. John Grisham's The Innocent Man grabbed my opinion because it was a true story, and I liked this book very much.
Ron Williamson, the main character of this book, at one time had it all. He was the next Mickey Mantle and was drafted to play baseball straight out of high school. After alchohal abuse problems and many other life problems Ron's life was turned around. Dennis Fritz was one of Ron's friends and they would go out together to clubs to drink and party. The other main character would have to be Debbie Carter, who was murdered.
The style of this book shows both sides to the story, which is one aspect of the book I like the most. It is a true story, which makes it even more interesting to me with pictures of everything that your reading in the middle of the book. from the begining, the book tells somewhat what really happened, which I liked.
The theme of this book is that you shouldn't just judge people on their behavier. Everything has to be based off facts, and nothing can just be based off what people think. Of course, everyone will make their judgements about people, but nobody should ever be able to be convicted of a crime off these.
I would for sure reccomend this book to anybody.

First Blog Post
Its January, so that means cold weather. I hate cold weather in every way, besides the fact that we got to miss school the first two days of this week for snow. Snow days are some of my best memories growing up.
I remember my first snow day when I was really young and didn't like the snow that much. I would always get cold and never put enough clothes on to stay warm. But the older I got, the more I appreciate a snow day.
This snow day me and a few of my friends tied sleds to the back of my truck, and pulled them in my pasture. Sledding was very fun, and I cannot wait until the next snow day!
