Favorite Quote:
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan


It was June 9th 1987. Brazil was in the Fifa world cup against Germany. I am a huge Germany fan and my best friend Jake is a huge Brazil fan. I bet Jake $150 that Germany was going to win the Fifa world cup. Jake told me that it was on. After two days of waiting the Fifa world cup started. After the first game Brazil won 2-1. I was not very happy. “ Man you can’t stop Brazil. They are the best in the world. Its gonna take a miracle for Germany to win. Brazil is going to beat them with ease.” Jake told him. “No way Germany is going to come back and win in game two.” The next day game two started and Germany lost 1-0. “Hahahahahahahahahaha, told you that they would never win. Germany sukcs, they will never win a world cup. I told you they would sweep them in two games. Now hand over the $150.” So I handed over the money and was not happy about it. One reason I was mad is because Germany lost, and second because my friend was being mean to me and was driving me insane. So he decided that I was going to kill him. So I punched him as hard as I could in the head (BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM) and it knocked him out. Then I put his head under the rug, picked up a chair and slammed it on his head. I couldn’t believe what I had just done. I checked his pulse. There was no pulse. I had to get rid of his body. So I took his body to the Amazon rain forest which was only about 45 miles from my house. So me and my dog Bruizer were walking through the amazon rain forest and we came to a river and next to it a golden harp was just laying there.

I took Bruizer over to the harp and he started to sniff it. After about five seconds of him sniffing it he disintegrated. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” I sat down without looking at the harp. I picked a stone and threw it towards the river. Then I noticed a ripple in the water right next to me. All of a sudden it started pouring rain. I tried to run away but I was on a piece of land surrounded by water. I heard a voice inside of my head, “Why did you kill me David. What did I ever do to you?” The voice was one that I heard every day of my life. It was Jakes. “You are forever stuck on this piece of land surrounded by water.” Now I knew this was forever my fate. Just me, all of this water surrounding me, The ashes of my now dead dog, pouring rain, and Jakes voice in my head. After five minutes there was a crash of lightning and I didn’t know where I was. I was no longer wet, but it was dark and I could hear rain. I looked to the right and I saw my alarm clock. I was confused. Was it just a dream that filled me with agony? Where is Bruizer? Was Jake still alive? I was shuddering just thinking about what I had done. All of a sudden there was a knock at my door. I got out of bed and went downstairs. I opened the door and it was Jake. Oh my god! “Jake your alive!” I was screaming at the fact that my best friend was still alive. “Of course im alive you dummy where do you think I was?” Jake asked me. I didn’t answer. I just stared at him. He stared back. Then he finally broke the silence, “Hey I was thinking, I bet you that Brazil is going to win the world cup.” “Hey I don’t know. You never know. Germany could be them.” Jake answered back and I gasped at what he said, “I bet you $150 that Brazil is going to win.” “Lets not bet. Lets just watch the game and enjoy our friendship.”
