The right to bear arms, my style

I wrote this article for my Journalism class. I liked it and so did my family. I hope y'all enjoy it!

The second amendment states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This amendment states that we have the right to keep and bear arms. Thank goodness! If we didn’t have that right, we wouldn’t be able to do many things!

For instance, if we couldn’t bear arms, I would never be writing this. Imagine what life would be like without arms. Life would be very hard. We would probably have to use our teeth for most things, unless, we could still have hands. Then our hands would be attached to us where our shoulders were. My, what a sight us humans would be. At least in America, that is.

Then again, it could apply another way. Could it be, ‘The right to bare arms?’ It might have been an innocent misspelling. If so, imagine all the trouble THAT could cause if this right was taken away. Say goodbye to tanning. Oh, and if it’s hot or cold outside, too bad.

Or……..it could mean ‘The right to bear arms’, such as owning bear’s arms. Why anyone would, I don’t know. But if that right was taken away, our freedom would slowly be slipping away. First that, then what?

But, then again, I guess it could mean 'The right to have and keep weapons.' Probably, but that's not very funny.

Drinking hot tea while writing...

Hey y'all,

I'm currently drinking delicious hot tea. Yes. I am. I got back from my job about 15-20 minutes ago...and hot tea just sounded pretty good, considering the fact that I work outside.

I work with eleven Suri alpacas. :D I love them, I think that they are probably some of the cutest animals ever! I hope to post some pictures sometime soon, they are soooo adorable! One of them is black, three are red/orange, and seven are white/gold. Two of the redish ones are babies, a boy and a girl. The girl is Sparkles, and the boy is Jewels. The white/gold ones are Krystal, Luna(both girls), Nugget, Colby, Shady, and Cervando(boys). I have no idea how to spell Cervando. It sounds like sir-von-doe. He's the newest of them all. I think they(the owners), are getting another one in the summer. I don't think they'll be keeping him though. I think he might just be for breeding.

Anywho, they are really funny and entertaining, not to mentain sweet and cute. :D I plan and hope on posting pictures of them and writing the happenings of them when I work.

Tootles for now!

Strange Dream...

Hey y'all,

Last night I had a weird dream, it wasn't anything important, but I just want to write it. :)

There might have been something before it, but if there was I can't remember. Anyhow, it was in our yard, there was snow on the ground and my sister Mo, my little brother Abe, and I were walking around the pool fence. It was thundering and huge lighting bolts were going across the sky, but for some reason, the sky was still blue. All of the sudden, there was a huge crack and a bolt of lighting that looked as big as a mountain. The noise was HUGE, almost like a huge explosion had happened. As soon as that thunder cracked, everything started to shake, and there was a rumbling sound that kept on going. It was really creepy. Then out of the blue sky (with some thunderbolts still going), a huge meteor come out of the sky. It was strange though, 'cause it didn't come out of clouds or anything, it just looked like there was like, a flap in the sky that you couldn't see, and the meteor came out of. Anyways, the meteor was gray with blackish colorings (kinda like the pits in the moon where the shadows are), and it was covered in huge yellow, red, and orange flames. And it was going fast. Not REALLY fast, but it wasn't like a slow snail. Before I go on, I must tell you that this meteor was huge, like the size a house. And that the whole time, the earth is shaking and the rumbling sound is still going.
Oh, sorry, and we were laying on the ground because of the huge bolt (we didn't want to get hit). So, once we saw the meteor, we all ran for the house screaming and yelling. We ran kinda zigzagy because of the shaking. So we got to the door, opened it, and ran inside. When we got inside we told everyone what was happening and that we saw a meteor. I thought they wouldn't believe it, but strangely, they did. My parents told us to go downstairs into what I think was the jam room. I remember that as we were going down the hallway to the stairs, I was crying because there wasn't time for me to get my birds into safety. We all got downstairs, went into the jam room, and huddled together. We stayed there for awhile, but nothing happened. Someone(my dad, I think) went upstairs to get something. After they went, I went up to get a drink. When I went up, I didn't feel scared. Everything outside was strangely quiet, and there was a unseen scary sense of danger. Like a monster was hidden and could pop out at anytime. It was really creepy/scary. After getting my drink, my dad (or whoever it was) and I went back downstairs. We stayed in hiding downstairs, but we went upstairs sometimes to get things. Whenever we went upstairs there was that sense of danger. We never felt scared, but it was like walking into a danger zone.

And then I woke up. I guess I'll never know what happened. It makes me wonder about some things.....
Well, that's it.
