June 1st, 2008 by chris4

A blog in my opinion is something you write about on line about something’s have never herd of a blog really before but on TV and links to other websites that have blogs’ typically get on MySpace and get on YouTube when I get on the computer but never have written a blog before this class, so that is why its new to me. I don’t mind written g online but it is usually to send and email or look up something on Google. I’m not to fund of these blogs because my computer has a virus right now and this is taking a really long time to load… but that is all I have to say about blogs.

Blog post #5 - FIRE!!!

April 30th, 2008 by chris4

One time, when I was about five years old, I was in my backyard. Playing on a hot summer day. I saw my mom outside smoking and on the table I saw her lighter. I thought of all the fun things I could light on fire. Pretended to play while keeping a keen eye on my mom, waiting for to go back inside. Once she went inside, I walked over and grabbed the lighter, thinking of how I could light something on fire and how much fun it would be. I ran to the front corner of my house, opposite of the front door and windows. I saw a bunch of cardboard boxes nest to the garbage can and decided that they might be fun to burn. So, I leaned over, and thought to myself, “I could make a small fire” I put the lighter up to the cardboard and lit on fire! I watched as the flame grew and grew until it was a small fire. I could feel the heat coming from the small fire, but for some reason, I didn’t think it was a big deal. That is, until the garbage can, right next to the cardboard, started to catch! All of a sudden, my garbage can was on fire and the fire started to rise rapidly. I could smell the chemical smell of the thick plastic burning. So, instead of telling my parents that there was a ragging fire in the trash can and about to catch the house on fire too, I decided to run into the kitchen and fill up a glass of water and run back to the fire and try to put it out. When this didn’t work, I decided to do the responsible thing and get two glasses of water and try to put out the fire. I panicked as I poured the water in a feeble attempt to extinguish the flames. It was like trying to put out a volcano with a thimble full of water! As I was pouring the water on what was now a five-foot tall fire, a jogger was running by spotted the fire. He ran over and told my parents, they got the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. Their faces looked pale and relieved at the same time, as we talk about the danger of fire. Then they turned and looked at me and said that I was only grounded for a couple of days. Since I was so young, that was all the punishment I got. The garbage can is still melted to this day, and I still play like to light things on fire.
