I can not think when their is stress. My mind becomes dizzy, I feel lightweight and I become very lethargic. Especially when it comes to tests and my running. When I get to the starting line of any roadrace, xc, track, my legs get weak and I feel like I want to throw up. The stress comes from the need to win especially in meets where I am ranked first. I get really weak and I try to clear the nervousness but sometimes it just stays within me until I can fuel it into adrenaline. As I arrive at the road race, I grab my pin number and I stretch out, but I also try my best to control the nervousness. My stomach gets tight as people come up to me and ask me "Are you going to win the race?", and as I step up to the line people point at me and say "that guy is going to win it". The pressure gets to me, now I have to win because people are looking at me specifically and they've heard about my success and expect me to win. www.litchfieldbz.com/sports

So today is finally a Thursday, thank god!. I learned something something new today that personally I do not like however its gotten pretty good ratings I've heard. This new something works much like life alert which in some way is cool but in other ways is just pretty much ridiculous. I actually think this could become very dangerous and even support terrorist activity in the future, you know what they say, anything is possible. Technology like this is bound to be hacked eventually and I also don't like the idea how this would automatically contact my guardian. Take it in this standpoint, If I'm the victim of a sexual assault, or rape, or even an attempted murder, i'm not going to try to contact my guardian by clicking the button and then having my mom get assaulted or shot at. I mean my first option would be the police. Photo Courtesy: http://wearsafe.com/
Hello whoever is reading this. So you are going to find this really surprising even shocking, well here it goes. I have never really liked blogs at all. For me I believe that blogs are based more on opinions and your feeling is directed towards someone or something. Therefore, their is a lack of facts that relate to history, crime, etc. See I'm all about non-fiction, if it's not true and it's never been recorded then what does it matter to me. I know, you probably see this as being absurd, but hey this is me and I love to be different. If you don't include what I just said then I would find blogs to be decent. In fact some blogs can actually grab my attention such as this one that, I found to be very interesting http://www.defrostingcoldcases.com/dccblogroll/ because, not only is it a non-fiction(my favorite genre by the way) but also because this guy provides a lot of information on particular murder cases. What makes this one so spectacular is that this isn't a phony sentence structure. It's just the opposite, the structure here is accurate even precise and provides unique interpretation including wide variety of opinions. You know what makes a blog less fatiguing eyes when you have to read a huge paragraph like this one, guess it? It's the pictures, without the pictures you have to use alot of imagination and i'm not a visualizer thanks to this guy I don't have to visualize what the blog is all about!

Well today is another blog day and for all those who are actually reading this good morning,evening, or night. Where ever you are from. You're probably wondering what the new topic on the plate is today. Hopefully it doesn't bore you to death but here it goes. The question of the day was "Is Amazon becoming too powerful?". I think we can all agree on one thing already, Amazon is already a powerful company. So we aren't trying to determine whether powerful or not, but whether the power they do have is restricting other business and may even be damaging other businesses because of their great amount of customers. It definitively is true that Amazon is stepping up their game no doubt about that one, however they are not the most powerful website/retailer. It's going to take a little bit more time and more inventiveness to reach the echelons of apple. Here is what I know, since I am all about the facts. Amazon is currently ranked 4th in the world right behind Apple, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway. I believe that Amazon is not becoming to powerful because they are not considered the leader. Unfortunately for Amazon it's going to take a lot more work then shocking Wall Street by posting a profit during the third quarter. They have to remain up there and whether they can hold this grip for the next quarter is very significant. I personally don't believe they can achieve this because the 3 other companies ahead of Amazon are bound to create something new that can make a huge profit. Therefore Amazon hasn't reached a level where they can't be competed with considering 3 other companies are still leading.

Hello crazy readers, who keep choosing to read my blogs even though they could make you fall asleep. So today I have a really interesting question in which I'm sure I know what all of your replies would be. The question of the day is "should a college education be free?". Whoever says no to this is absolutely crazy. College will be one of the most expensive time periods, disregarding buying a house and if you purchase a fancy car. With College you're stuck with loans for years I've seen the nightmare, I've seen my brother setting aside money from his work to pay off those high loans. I don't like seeing people near my mom's age still have to pay College loans, so a College education should really be free. Photo Courtesy: http://gateway1.mrooms3.net/
There is no greater feeling than making an extra buck now days. In an economy like today, waiters need all the money they can get because they get paid minimum wage. With minimum wage you can hardly get by and honestly you're not living in good conditions. Therefore its huge that waiters should get minimum wage, since people like us who are the customers provide them their next meal. We could choose not to tip waiters but would it be fair, considering the waiter could have done a really good job and made sure you were treated well. Shouldn't we give them some kind of respect for how hard their job is and how busy they can be sometimes? Photo Courtesy: http://www.lensbury.com/events/entertainment-packages/singing-waiters/
An interesting fact about me is that many of my friends are not aware that I was born and adopted in Ukraine at the age of 5. Therefore when I came to America I had to relearn a new language, develop social skills, and even go through therapy and be assisted by teacher's aids. I have always been interested in my country and have taken deep pride for where I was from. I have always loved learning about the history of Ukraine and became interested in specifically Ukraine's push for Independence against the Russians. I am now 18 so I have been in America for 13 years and have fully developed the American traditional values. I however wish to go back to Ukraine and see the orphanage that I was in, and what it was like. I stayed back in first grade because I never developed the language fully. However after reading many books and communicating with other people I was able to learn the new language.

Sometimes the best kind of food you could eat is takeout food. The best kind of take out food for me is AJ's located in Goshen, Connecticut. Even though people go to AJ's mostly for Pizza, I go for the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Their Buffalo Chicken Wrap is to die for. Not only do they provide the wrap but also the fries. They love to pile fries on also which is great because I am a big eater! I love taking out food at AJ's because I know the people that work their who are super kind, and friendly.
Walking around the hallway you realize that people have to use makeup. Everyday i see someone wearing thick makeup trying to look attractive. Everyone tries to look good/attractive because they want to fit in with the popular crowd. Another trend I notice is that everyone is worried about their diet. Girls specifically are focused on their diet and looking slim because they want to look extremely attractive. They shouldn't try to go on a diet just to look like those popular girls on the magazines. I hate when they do this because it seems rather depressing and upsetting that a girl can't accept the fact for who she is! Another common trend nowadays is the Right to Bear Arms. When teachers talk about shootings everyone replies by saying "ya well we have the right to a gun" and they don't consider the consequences of having these dangerous weapons. This always gets me hyped up because everyone gets aggressive and throws their opinion out, without supplying any facts. Photo courtesy: http://genius.com/
Hello friends/viewers, I already forgot what number blog this is. But with every blog comes a new question/idea. In class today I saw this really cool site that reminds me of Amazon. It listed these unique innovative products made by people like you and me. It provided comments and peoples opinion on the product. We also were given the authors reaction to his/her creation. However my opinion is that all the prices on here are overpriced. Yes the ideas are creative and unique, and these creations are not by a company but an individual person.I just think the items on here are a little overpriced. photo courtesy: https://www.thegrommet.com/sondergut-roll-up-travel-chess-checkers
