Creative Writing #1

            In this new type of journal called a creative writing, I will be telling you why I will not be writing a nightly journal and what I will be doing instead.  I will also tell you  one bad or good thing or more of both.  I hope you like this new type of writing because it is what we are going to start doing instead of a nightly journal. 
            One of the best things about doing a creative writing once a week is that I don’t have to write as often, which means I will have more time to do things on other days! (YES!) Another good thing is that I don’t have to be reminded every night to type my daily journal or have to make up for like five days of journal entries that I had temporarily avoided. (HA!)
            By writing a weekly creative writing I will be able to improve my typing skills, like type faster, and be able to type without as many mistakes.  This will also help me to increase my use of details that I put in a writing, paper, report, etc.  This will help me to like writing a lot too, hopefully.  Because I don’t like writing reports it is going to be kind of hard for me right now to get used to but I’ll get the hang of it, I hope. 
            There are a few things bad about creative writings though.  Well, things that are bad to me anyway.  Doing this will take longer in one period time instead of being short five minutes spread out throughout the week.  No, not at all!  This is more like a 20 – 30 minute thing all in one bunch.  Is this a bad thing? I don’t know, maybe yes, or maybe no, but it is still better than having to do a journal every night so it does not matter that much. 
            Again, I hope you are going to like this new type of writing.  If not, oh well!  Sorry!  This is what I am going to be doing for at least this whole semester of school unless something happens.  This is a privilege for me so I am going to try to keep it.  Hope you like the new idea.

 “My favorite Instrument”

Troupe McLeod

1/18/07

Well I’m going to try and tell you about what my favorite instrument is.  It might be kind of hard to do because I have so many favorite instruments.  (Laugh Out Loud!!)  The reason it is so hard to pick a favorite instrument is because I like each instrument for a certain reason.

            I really like the piano because there are so many keys and there is so much to learn.  Every noise or sound you make can be made into a song.  No matter how bad it sounds, it can still be a song.  As you practice the piano you can get better.  The coolest thing about the piano is playing cool songs that I have already learned that I really like.  That is why piano is one of my favorite instruments. 

            I also like the clarinet because there are not as many notes as the piano.  This makes the clarinet much easier to play because there aren’t as many notes to focus on when playing.  Although there are buttons that you push that make it able for you to use all the keys again but in a different octave, it is still a lot easier to play.  The sound on the clarinet is also constant and it flows.  It has a sort of vibration to it.  Either high or low, it is a very beautiful sound. 

            I like the drums because they are what keep the beat for every type of music.  There are so many different beats and so many different things that you can do with just a few drums.  Cool huh!?  My favorite part of a drum set is the base drum.  I could make my self-happy with just a base drum maybe.  Boom!Boom! Boom Boom Boom! Boom!!  I also like the vibration feeling from the base drum.  Uhhhhhh! Uhhhhhhh! Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!  I just like the low sound that blends in with any type of music.  

            So maybe I could just say that I don’t really have a favorite instrument.  However, I do have many favorite things about each instrument.  Each of those things makes each of my favorite instruments add up to be about the same score in my head which makes an instrument #1 or #2 or #3 in line as my favorite.  But because this happens all my favorite instruments are #1 in my head.  Know what I mean?  Sure you do!  Well what is your favorite instrument?  Think about it.

The Best Game System Ever
Troupe McLeod
1-23-07 

          When ever I make the best game system in the world I expect it to be a thing that every family would want and need.  I want families to enjoy it.  I want it to have whatever kind of games you like.  A game system is a device that plays games like car games and war games.  You have to play these games with a controller and each game has a different skill.  I will explain what kind of games it will play and what kind of graphics it will have.  Now get into an eyes-open-imagination-state so that you will be able to picture this game system as you read about it. 
          First of all, my game system will have such good graphics that it will literally be like real life.  All the pictures, scenes, and the parts of the game that you play will be real life.  This game system will basically include all the game systems from the very first one until now.  The only problem for buyers is… it will cost 3,000 dollars at its lowest price.
          The games will be Blue Ray disks.  Because of this the graphics will be even better than perfect!!  All the games in the world will be able to be played on this game system.  And oh yeah I have not named it yet… Hmmmmmmmmmmmm… I think I’ll call it the Game Box 3000.  As I was saying, all the video games in the world will be able to be played on the Game Box 3000. GB 3000 is short for Game Box 3000!
          Because the GB 3000 will play every single game in the world for all different kinds of different game systems it has to keep some old gadgets.  First of all, when you buy the GB 3000 it will come with one controller for each game system ever made so that you will be able to choose your favorite controller.  A controller is a device that tells the person or car on your game where to go or what to do whenever you want it to do so.  For example, if you are a person who was a big fan of the game system by Microsoft called XBOX there will be an XBOX controller somewhere with the controller section of the GB 3000 package.  There will also be an adapter with the GB 3000 for each type of controller there is in the package so that I could save space on the GB 3000 system by placing the controller plugs in the adapters.  I will do this to make the GB 3000 smaller and more portable.
          It really will be cool when I am able to make the GB 3000.  But until then lets just stick to the game systems we have right here and now.  I know for certain that this will help anyone who is trying to make a system like this.  If you, meaning one of those rich companies who manufacture game systems, get the desire to make a game system like mine before I do, go ahead.  I’ll just look at what was wrong with yours and make mine even better.
