Super Bowl

Number one defense versus the number one offense: letdown. The offense was everything, but unstoppable. Just wish this wouldn’t go on the whole game… Too bad, it did. It was a blowout.

Starting off the game with a bad snap, leading to a safety is never good. Handing the Seahawks momentum, while having the “11 and a half” man, and “Beast Mode” just waiting to give the Broncos D a good punch to the jaw. No one wants a bad play in the Super Bowl.

The Broncos just couldn’t steal that momentum. It never helps when the Seahawks defensive backs are 6’4 and taller and when they are supposed to be a little under 6ft tall. It really never does any good when Peyton Manning threw 2 interceptions and lost a fumble off a bad block. The Broncos just weren’t feeling it.

When I watched ESPN the next day, the game was in the top five Super Bowls ever… For the biggest scoring margin.

Place

My favorite room in our house would have to be my “game room.” Mostly because of my Xbox 360, but that’s not all.

There is the sweet aroma of all the empty candy wrappers hidden under the couch cushions. The sight of my dog’s urine stains from years ago. Also, the sound of my sister pounding the wall because she had just lost a match of Yahtzee on her iPad. Even the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body like water rushing down a stream when I’m about to score a game-winning touchdown in NCAA Football 14. Finally, the feeling of my sweat dripping down the smooth, white Xbox controller.

Ohhh, the game room, it will be remembered forever.

“Never Again”

In the winter of 2010 my parents surprised my sister and I with a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I was in complete shock when I found that out. Even better we got to stay in the Swan Hotel, which is a hotel inside the Disney world complex, and we had a FastPass for all of the rides, which allows you to pretty much get into a shorter line.

We would leave on the 28th and get their later that day. When we got there we settled in our hotel and then we were off to Epcot Studios. There we rode the fastest ride in Disney world, Test Track. In test track, you get in a car and go through all these test then finally you get to go on the track. It sounds boring, but it’s actually pretty fun.

I know you’re wondering why this is a “never again” moment. Well, at Disney MGM Studios had a ride named, Rockin’ Rollercoaster. In the Rockin’ Rollercoaster it is pitch black with Aerosmith blasting in your ear. The Rollercoaster went from 0-60 mph in about 2.8 seconds, which makes it the second fastest ride in Disney world Orlando behind test track. My parents were begging me to do the ride. I didn’t know that it was going to go that fast and have loops which I hate. Eventually they got me to do it and I definitely regretted it and like it at the same time. Even though I kind of like it, I was never doing that again, it scared me to death.

Prepositional Poem

Joseph and I wrote this prepositional poem:

Across the rubbery turf
The opposing team beside me
The first whistle coming near
With the crowd booming
Despite their rasping voices
Outside, in the intense heat
The men in black and white taking the field
Football’s on it’s way
Here comes the boom under the stadium lights!
