100 Years -- by Five for Fighting

Everytime this song plays I always think of just being young. By saying "I'm fifteen for a moment" it really symbolizes that life goes by too fast. After getting to 99, then dying, he goes back to say that 15 is really tht best you can have. Having your youth is everything, having time to waste, spending it on anything you please. Being fifteen myself, I personally really like the song and what it's saying; dont grow up to fast, and seize the moment.
I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are 
I'm twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars 
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live 
I'm thirty three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind 
I'm forty five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life 
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy, time to lose yourself
Within a morning star 
Fifteen I'm all right with you
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live 
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm ninety nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are 
Fifteen there's still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty three you're on your way
Every day's a new day 
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this 
When you only got hundred years to live

Spend New Years Eve in Times Square




Every New Year's Eve i spend at a relative's house at a party either here in California, or Arizona. We always ended up watching the countdown from Times Square on tv. It always looked awesome being there and seeing the ball drop. New York is so busy, light up, and lively. Instead of being the person watching on tv, I want to be the person in the middle of the crowd counting down live.

Solve a Rubick's Cube


                                                  

The most difficult toy EVER! I have never been able to solve these things ever since i was i little. Theres a couple people i know that can solve it, and i find it extremely frustrating that i've tried so many times, and cant get it. Will Smith i've seen do it twice, on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Pursuit of Happyness. He did it in less that a minute, so thats my goal, and if that doesnt happen, than just finishing it would be fine with me.

Go to the Nicholas Flamel's old house in France

          


Nicholas Flamel was a small character in the first Harry Potter book. He was the one who invented the Socerer's Stone and was like 600+ years old. Well I didn't know he had a book series about himself, up until one day browsing around the book section at Target. They say "don't judge a book by it's cover" but that's pretty much the only way i choose them. I was interested by the cover, so i picked it up and saw Nicholas Flamel on the cover, in shock kind of. I read the back and it was pretty interesting, so i bought it, and the 2nd book as well. Two of the best books i have ever read, actually. Well at the end of the book, it shares authors inspiration for writing the book, and little facts about the true characters. It says that Nicholas Flamel's house is one of the oldest buildings in France, its been converted to a restaurant at 51 Rue de Montmorency. Thats where Michael Scott was when he wrote the second book, so i really want to go see it for myself one day, and maybe when we go to Paris in March, i could go..

Go to all 6 DisneyWorld parks


 








 When I was 9, I went to Miami, Florida. While I was there, they surprised me with a trip to Orlando as well, to go to DisneyWorld. Disneyland here, is just one big park plus California Adventure, enough for a day. DisneyWORLD though, is 3 times the size. There's four land parks, AND two water ones. The day I went, I was only given the chance to go to the regular parks. I of course, wanted to see the water ones, especially Typhoon Lagoon, where Hanna Montana had recently performed. Of course, I was overjoyed already with just being there, but I was still a bit disappointed that I didn't see ALL of DisneyWorld. So since then, I've wanted to go back and see the other 2 parks.

Throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain

This one started when I was 5 or 6. That was the year The Lizzie McGuire Movie came out. Theres a part when Lizzie and her best friend Gordo, along with the rest of the class, visit the Trevi Fountain and make a wish to find adventure while in Rome. My 5 year old self was totally amazed by the fountain, it was so pretty, and ever since that movie, I've loved Italy. Then there was also the legend, that if you throw a coin into the Trevi, turned around, throwing the coin with your right hand, over your left shoulder,  it'll ensure a return to Rome. Everyone has thrown a coin into a fountain at the mall or something, but Italy? Thats something unlikely, that I'd love to try.

The Seven Wonders of the World


These places are some I've always wanted to see. I think it all started in about 4th grade when my teacher said he had been to three out of the seven. He showed us pictures, in front of the coliseum and other places. I was amazed at what he'd seen. I didn't know what the other four were, so i had to google it. XD
After searching Wikipedia, I found out what they were. All 7 would be: The Coliseum, in Italy; The Great Wall of China; The Great Pyramids of Giza, in Egypt; The Taj Mahal, in India; Christ the Redeemer, in Brazil; Chichenitza, in Mexico; Machu Picchu, in Peru; and Petra, in Jordan.
