My State is Better Than Yours!!

This is a counter-attack to Daniel's reasons why North Carolina is the best state to live in. Now before I start let me explain something, I agree that North Carolina would be a fun state to live in and South Carolina is one of my favorite states in the world. But without a doubt, Florida dominates the globe!!!!

Reasons Why (most parts of) Florida Are Way Better Than North Carolina
#1- The theme parks here dominate, and there are more major ones in this state than probably any other
#2- You don't have to drive 45 minutes to go get groceries.
#3- We have some of the best athletic programs here (Just in Central Florida) for High Schools.
#4- Some of the best Pro-Athletic and College teams are down here.
#5- You don't have to settle for a stupid school just because it's the only one within 100 miles of you (Okay I'm over-exaggerating, but who doesn't? Oh and this isn't aimed at your school Daniel.)
#6 (This is a random one but okay)- If your car breaks down in North Carolina, then you could be stranded and never find your way back home especially because; from what I saw of Robbie's phone when we went up there, you have no service on your phone.
#7- You don't have to drive 8 hours to see your relatives (if you're in my family).
#8- When passing through Central Florida, you don't have to worry about being bored because there are plenty of billboards (to play the ABC game) and other entertaining things.
#9- You don't have to wait for an hour if you have to pee because there are no exits for you to stop at... No! you can get off almost immediately.
#10- (This is probably the best one) During the summer, people in the dead center of the state, only have to drive about 1 and 1/2 hours to get to a beautiful beach, so you can visit it almost every day of your life.
#11- You usually don't have to worry about breaking out your plow to get snow out of your driveway and go to work.
#12- You don't have to worry about going to school until July because of snow make-up days.
#13- Me, Dana, Chris, Aubrey, Aaron, Shannon, Grammy, Grandad, Robbie, Ben, Mom (Terri), Dad (Lewis), and a whole bunch of other cool people live here!!!!!!
Some of these may be incorrect which I am sorry for but all in all, Florida (Orlando in specific) is way better than Boiling Springs, North Carolina

It Starts Again


It's basketball season!!!!!!!! I'm so excited! This season, I think me and 5 other 8th grade guys are moving up to play Junior Varsity with my dad as the coach. There are two other guys that are playing JV that aren't in 8th grade so the majority of our team is 8th graders. This is okay because me and 4 of the other 8th graders (the majority of our team) have been playing together for I think 4 or 5 years. This makes us play more like a team and less like individual players. We are all really excited for Monday night when we kick off our season against Orangewood Christian School. We are going to destroy this team even though they are a really good basketball team! Me and the rest of team are all really pumped up. Any ways Thursday had their first game for preseason and me and three other kids from the JV team got bumped up. We played Masters the first night and before I tell you we lost... Oh wait, never mind I guess I just told you. Last year we lost to masters by around 60 points... This year? I don't think so! We cut it down to 15 this year. OH yeah! At this rate, we'll win by 30 next year. YES!!!! Last night we played Lighthouse Christian School and I would rather not talk about that. Well that's all I got for this one... GO COMETS!!!!!!!!!
