Manga Fox

I enjoy reading Manga online. So much so that I have a dismal social life and nearly no friends but that’s not my point. I want t to tell my readers about the best and most technologically advanced Manga site on the internet. Manga Fox has the largest archive of Manga available anywhere and has the best search option I have ever seen. There are 29 genre options with the choice to block or select any number of them at one time. It also has artist and author choices. I only use other sites when I can’t find what I want on this one but overall it is the best by far.

Barbeque

This Thursday was prom. I could not go because of my grades but on Friday the school had a day of fun and sports instead with a barbeque after. This my sound enjoyable but to me, who would rather spend my time reading a good book then anything to do with sports, it was terrible boring. The school day started late and after painting our class banners we went to the gym to watch a basketball game. Once the game was over we when outside to play a long list of simple games. We played tug-of-war and had a sack race. What really annoyed me though was the barbeque. I wasn’t allowed to get a soda until I got my food. In order to get my food I had to wait in a long line out in the blazing sun by a lit grill. It wasn’t a very fun day for me.

Avatar

Every truly great book I have ever read has left me stunned and filled with near sorrow at its end. It is not because I enjoy sad stories but because I morn the end of such a fantastic voyage through the hearts, souls, and worlds of these authors.
Though not all books leave me with such a feeling it is even rarer with moves. For such an amazing peace of art to emerge from such a tarnished art form is nigh on impossible in this day and age. The newest of these masterpieces is Avatar.
I am far from the first to praise this movie, but having only just witnessed it for myself I cannot remain silent. I am not saying it is perfect. It like all other stories has its flaws. I detected a strong ring of Pocahontas near the beginning, and as well thought out this new planet was the braid connection concept seemed a bit forced.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not tried to demean Avatar in any way at all. I was entrapped from the first word. I shared Jake’s aw at the sights and sounds of Pandora, I wept at the loss of the mother tree and the chief, and I roared in victory every time the Navi gained a new advantage.
This move is not to be under estimated, not to be ignored, and certainly it will never be forgotten.

Earthquake Narrative

On 3:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday an earthquake hit Mexicali Mexico. It was 7.2 on the Richter scale. I was sitting on my parents couch watching an old movie with my mom both my sisters and my sister’s boyfriend at the time. When I first noticed the shaking I thought someone was moving the couch but then I saw the TV rocking and I knew it was an earth quake. Even with this knowledge I didn’t feel any real fear until my mom’s mirror fell off the wall and shattered. The feeling that I could no longer trust the ground to stay put was extremely unsettling. But because no one was hurt and there were no major property damage I feel this was a fascinating experience.
