Memoirs Of A Mountain High
.... Range in Colorado. This section of the
course was by far the most demanding, the mountaineering section. Stepping
off the bus in Frisco, Colorado we looked back knowing that we were not to
see civilization for at least a month. There were 8 men and women in my
group from all over the country. Each one had a unique personality not
knowing that we would all become closer to each other than family, possibly
being dependent during life threatening situations which we experienced on
many occasions. This in it .....

be observed. No ties, briefcases or any other work related articles. No
phones or pagers are allowed so there are no interruptions. These are to
insure a fun and relaxing time.
My Den is a great place to hang out, play some pool, or just get away
from the stress of every day life. It is almost impossible not to have a
good time when you are in my den.

A. Introduction
B. Why the den is a great place to hang out.

My Man
.... plastic or something! Anyway, I got up,
brushed off my legs, and with a little "hmph" I walked off. I sat down by
the water and fantasized about how wonderful it would be if it were me with
him. Soon though, in thinking that, my anguish turned into anger, and my
anger into hatred. Hatred for that mean girl who had what belonged to me! I
wanted to go up to her and hit her across the face and I wanted to show her
who was the boss. I wanted to show her what happens to people who are rude
to me.
In my .....

Creative Writing: "My House"
.... I
have ever seen. They are made of mahogany and have a stained glass window in
the center. The handles and the frame is made of brass. As I continue around
the house I come across three windows overlooking the entrance to the house.
There are black shutters on each window. As the porch continues to the south
side of the house I am now looking over the Pacific Ocean. A huge eight foot
picture is facing the same way I am. As I look down and observe the ocean I
see two piers jutting out into the Pacif .....

Creative Writing: No Coins Please
.... Sam, was one that liked to fight for his rights.
Rob and Denis then told us that we were supposed to name our van.
Denis came up with the name "Ambulance" and the rest of the group agreed.
On our way to our first stop, New York, we got a speeding ticket because
someone was tailgating our van.
The next morning, in Central Park, the director gave a speech telling what
they would be doing for the next few weeks.
By the end of the speech, I was already out of site, down in a subway station

My Truck
.... onto graph paper, so she
could put them back later, but it did not work out. The trucks and the
blocks just continued to get me into trouble.
My windows would be open in the summer, we didn't have air
conditioning, and it was very windy. My door would slam in the night. The
rest of the family would not get any sleep. So, my mom came in to close the
windows a little and she would kick over my blocks and cars. In the
morning, I woke up ot see how muck damage was done. My blocks were
skattered, an .....

I Declare My Independence From Homework
.... to miss undue
amounts of school in order to finish impossible work-loads assigned by
teachers. It forces students to do repetitive work, even if they already
understand the subject matter. The concept of homework is so ingrained
into the minds of teachers that they do not see that it is even bad from
their prospective. Assigning homework means that a teacher must waste
valuable class time going over it when they could be lecturing and teaching
the subject matter just as effectively. In the cases o .....

The Ideal Dinner (Billy Corgan, Jimi Hendrix, And G. Washington)
.... Jimi Hendrix because he was one of the greatest
guitarists of all time, despite his drug habits. Hendrix was ahead of his
time with the music he played. He introduced a whole new style of rock
guitar. His lyrics were simple and were almost always about love, but his
guitar talent and unique playing style always made up for it. I would love
to have a jam session with him and maybe have him teach me some things I do
not know about playing guitar. It would be a great honor to learn from a
teacher as .....

Creative Story: The Ride
.... high school education suffered from too much fun and too little studying. My
father made being at home a very uneasy feeling, making me want to stay away
even more. He never took any time to help me with school, car or money. I
always had to work to earn everything, the only thing I wasn't paying for was
rent. In turn I wanted little to do with my father, stepmother or brother,
never contributing or helping out. I even stopped going with them on vacations.
The feelings I had were that I just wanted to .....

Hobby And Sport
.... asks you
how old you are, and how many cigarettes you smoke everyday. Then it tells
you if you smoke too much. These programs are not useful because they don't
satisfy any of the two demands: 1) It doesn't fulfill any of my needs.
2)It's not suitable for a wider audience.
Today, the list of programs I have made, satisfy in a much more
professional way those simple requirements. I have made, in cooperation
with a friend, a game which tests your short-term memory. There must be a
thousand of those on .....

Quarry Hill

never been and I hear it's a cool place!"
"Yeah!" It was clear to me that Rudy is a quick thinker -- I barely
finished my idea before he was in agreement. "Come on Tom, lets go to the
Quarries!" Rudy said to get a response out of him. Tom -- still in his
"quiet mode" -- looked Rudy right in the eye, blinked, gave a half laugh,
and smiled.
"Well, all right. It's 1:00am, I think I'm going to go to bed now."
I was getting bored with the silence, and Tom wasn't going to move int .....

Snow White
.... full fledged woman.
Even at this age finding proper "support" became difficult with a size
double "D". Even she was surprised by the growth; however, no one was more
surprised than Snow White's stepmother.
The Queen, even in her younger days, had always had the largest
mammary glands in the kingdom. With the sudden growth of Snow White the
Queen began to doubt herself. So she went to her magic mirror to ask if
she was still the most buxom woman in the land.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, wh .....

Tomato Fishing
.... do is find a spot to fish/pick from. For fishing, that means
either wading out in boots or going out in a boat.
For picking, it means wherever you can find room for your feet. Next,
you cast off with your rod or your hand. Then you grope around until you
feel something. Then you bring it up to the surface and decide if it's big
enough/ripe enough to eat. If it's not, you throw it back. If it is, then
you pick it/reel it in. And of course, you can always brag about the ones
that got away.

Creative Story: Father's Handicap
.... some much needed rest.
The next morning I got up at eight o'clock because my dog Barney had to
go outside. I knew he had to go outside because he started to cry. So, I let
him out. Then I went to see if my mom or dad had made me breakfast. I looked
and found nothing had been cooked for me. Which was really odd because every
Saturday and Sunday morning they had made me breakfast since I could remember.
My sister Amy was watching television. So, I asked her where mom and dad were.
She said, "Da .....

Creative Writing: My Grandfather

himself. He recalled that John told lots of tall stories; something that
grandpa does often.
His first school was in California and it was a two room school house.
He had to walk home and there were water snakes in the gutters. One time when
he got home, his favorite toy, a refrigerator handle, was missing. Then he
noticed that the two trees that were in front of the house were gone. He called
the police. When the police got there, the baby-sitter was there and said the
