A Ironic Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFfCKy0nKr0

This is ironic because he gets fame and fortune, but he is still worried about winning. Also he payed his dues for being in jail and his sentence was up ,but he had never committed no crime.

In which a boy tells a girl that he loves her 12 times, all the while assuring her 23 times that he is going to tell her this just 1 time. 

Me plus you, I'ma tell you one timeMe plus you, I'ma tell you one timeMe plus you, I'ma tell you one timeOne time, one time

Surfin USA.

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U. S. A.

Haggerties and Swamies
Pacific Palisades
San Onofre and Sunset
Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla
At Wa'imea Bay.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Ironic Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v9yUVgrmPY
"Ironic"

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Nicole T. Cousins

Since I am the only child in my family, my cousins: Hannah, Nathan, and Stephan who live in North Liberty are extremely important to me. In fact, the bond we share is more like a brother sister relationship, versus a cousin. Whether it's swimming, playing basketball, making home movies,  going to Adventureland, or just hanging out and goofing around we always have a good time. Together we have created many memories that will last a lifetime. I know whether I'm 14, 44, or 84, they'll be there to support me. With my phone, I know I'm only a text or only a call away.

I  admire my dad because he is the one who helps me mostly with my sports and teaches me what to do and what not to do in them. He also helps me in my homework because he is really smart and has a lot of ability in math. I don't really get to see him much right now because he is building our new house out  in Washington district. He loves to many things and can do many things. He loves to the things that i love to do such as biking and fishing and camping. But we consider camping in our grandparents cabins. My dad loves me as I do him and all of this that I am writing it is nothing against my mom and I  love her to so that is a little bit about my dad and I.

Nikole C. My Big Brother

He is my brother.
His name is Catin Xavier.
He is twenty-three and stationed across seas.
I miss him , and he misses me.

We Skype each other almost every week.
His daughters and baby son join me.
We pray for his safety every night.
His wife and I always send him letters and care-packages,
I don't think he minds .

I have no idea where he is stationed now.
He is miles away.
But no matter what he will always be my big brother.
This is my brother Catin.

McKenna H. My Sister

My sister means more to me then she realizes. She gives me advice and helps me have fun. I think it's funny how sometimes I help her with her homework, and she helps me with mine. I love to go shopping with her, so she can help me find things I will like. She supports me in sports, school, and and decisions I need to make. She is lovable, fun, smart, and hardworking. I never feel I cant tell her something that I need to tell someone. I hope one day I can have a good job and go to school like her. I get a lot of my character from her. I think thats why we are so close and have so much in common.

Alexis V. My brother

My brother

He may be older than me

But we act the same age.

We share the same birthday

But not the same age.

We are full of laughs when we are together

Amery B.--My grandpa & my sister

     When I was eight my grandpa died from cancer. He was sixty. He had been fighting cancer for a while and he seemed to get better but then his condition dropped and it was terrible. I remember going to the hospital to visit him and barely recognizing him. He was so skinny and just didn't look like my grandpa.  I miss him so much. Although he was quiet, I would give anything to hear him speak again. After he had died my mom called their phone and heard my grandpa talking on the voicemail and she said her heart stopped. She started crying. The voicemail is still set to him talking. When my grandpa died my mom had just been talking to my grandma not long before. After my mom hung up my grandma called crying and just said he had died. My mom started crying, too. My grandpa's last words to my grandma were, "I love you Kay," and then he died.  My mom came to talk to us and after we found out the whole house way crying for days. My mom wrote the poem for his funeral and we still have it framed in the hallway, with a thing of wheat and a picture of him. It was hard for anyone to believe he had died. Now we always put potato chips on our hamburgers because that is what my grandpa did. Potato chips were his all time favorite.

     I also have another sister who died when she as three months old. I never got to see her. My parents were on their way to surprise my grandma and a semi hit them. My sisters brain shook too hard and my sister, Rylea, died. The worst part was my dad was in a coma when she died so he woke up wondering where Rylea was. My mom had to explain to him what happened.

My mom

She is my mom

I am her daughter

She is old 

I am young

She is tall

I am short

I am smart

She is smarter

I am funny

She is hilarious

She cooks

She cleans

She lets me hangout with my friends

She takes me places

She takes me to the football games

She is nice

She is not strict

She is understanding

She helps me with my homework

And she helps me with my problems

Brendan K Dad

Dad is the one who does archery with me.
We also shoot clay pigeons. And Fish together.
And play games.
We also camp together.
We have both been in scouts and I still am.

He got me to play sports.
He helps me play baseball.
And he helps me with shooting hunting and archery.

Hayden W. My Grandpa

My Grandpa is so awesome. He always helps me out with everything. We always make the best of every situation, even when it didn't work out the way we wanted it to. When I was younger I would always look forward to going over to my Grandpa's house. I think the most fun thing we do is go fishing. We have always done it almost every time we get together. Another thing we do is go to the lake up in Wisconsin. I hardly ever get to go up there but whenever I do, I always have a blast. You come to all of my football and baseball games. You always say I do a great job, even when I don't do that well. You are truly the best grandpa a kid can have.

Jasmine *warning, personal

If  I had one last wish it would be to see you for one last time.   I miss you and it's just not the same with out you. Every time I see your picture and I wonder what it would be like if you were still here.  Would it be the same.?  We will never know. Grandpa everyone has been fighting a lot and not being acting the same even though you died over two years ago on march 3 , 2010. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I wish I could give  you one last hug ,and one last  kiss .  The day I left on sunday, I had a feeling that something bad would happen when I left and  something did, you had died. The nurse toke him off of his medicine that was keeping him alive. When she told them that he might die on that day they were prepared for that day, they didn't want it to happen but god was calling him and they had no last words.They checked up on him like every hour. People where sleeping upstairs to make she he was okay but , than my aunt had woke up to outside, but before she went outside  she wanted to see if he was awake ,but he wasn't.  I was at my dads in Waterloo and I went to ask my dad "why wasn't I going to school and he said we have bad news and i knew something was wrong because my brother Jordan never cry and he was in tears when he had told me. So , I was like whats happened and he said grandpa had passed away this morning and said no no no no why? why? why? . I knew he wasn't going to make it over the night. I wish he didn't have to go. Him and my grandma had always motivated me and told me it would be okay when I was down. I broke down in tears and I didn't know what to do I just went back in my room and cry and wondering why today ?. And we just broke down in tears and we didn't go to school that day. we went down to cedar rapids to see my family to make sure they were okay. And I will never forget that day. . R.I.P. Grandpa Yirkovsky.:( I love and miss you. and one day i will be able to see you day  . Love you <3 Everyone misses and loves you. and always will and you will always be remembered.

jake D. younger brother

I choose my youngest brother Cole. he is 3 but very fast, strong, and short. when we go outside we can do anything. we could go outside and play football or play any other sport. he enjoys to play soccer, teeball, football, and any other game you could think of. we also could play at the park. we like to play tag or hide and seek. or we just enjoy to swing. that is what me and cole like to do outside.

          When we are inside, thats where most of the fun happens. Cole enjoys playing with his matchbox cars. Sometimes I also like to play with the cars sometimes because its fun to just be a little kid again.We play with cars for sometimes for hours. But the thing he likes most is his trains. He has to line up all of his trains every time before he uses them. Its weird but thats my brother. Also, he likes to play with my other brother Ryan's nerf guns. He like to come up and shoot us. The good thing is, that he is ok if we shoot him as well. So,that is very fun.
