Beauty is FOOTBALL!

Desmond gave me this to read - this is a class assignment and will be entering into the Reflections program for the school district. So I am copying this word for word (and Desmond said that parents can not edit it)...so there you go. The topic was: what they think beauty is. Desmond wrote:

Beauty is FOOTBALL!

Have you ever felt the rush of 50+ thousand people cheering you on? The smell of grass or some times turf field? Well I haven't either but I dream of it. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about its football. I know what your probably thinking the sport with all the lunatic fans, but that's part of the game! Everybody screaming at the top of their lungs, banging everything they can that's right the 12th Man! Seahawk turf! Did you know Seattle has the most false starts against the opponent. 95! That's the most false starts in the NFL! Someday I hope that I'll be there with them as a hawk. Seattle has gone to 2 of the last 4 Super bowls (Pittsburg has gone to 7 winning all.) The last two years though injuries have plagued them. I want to be the guy to bring them back I want to be a corner. Like Antoine Winfield (I don't know how to spell his name) but any way he's one of the best corners in the NFL. The second they touch the ball I'll be the one nailing them! The reason I want to be corner is its so energetic I mean like you eye down the QB when all of a sudden he ends the tricky count with a HUT! And he drops back fighting to get the ball away before the pass rush when he throws the ball away with a WOOSH! Then I go into action we both leap as if we were trying to jump to the moon! Then THUD! I feel the cold fleshy ball hit my glove. Now all I need to do is hit the ground and it's a interception! So that is my belief of beauty. FOOTBALL!

Fall time - Desmond

Desmond and I went looking for fall leaves and trees...I think we were a couple weeks late. But we did find a couple trees that were pretty. Desmond was sick during the time when it would have been great to get out there. But we went up to Port Gamble, not much luck there, then scavenger looked around Poulsbo. On our way home we came across the North Kitsap High school and the leaves were such a pretty red. So I thought the branch was low enough that Desmond could pull his whole body up. Well it probably took about 5 minutes with me trying to lift him all these different ways and us just laughing so hard. We were sure that we looked pretty funny to cars passing by with me trying to get him in that tree.

Movie's that I have watched lately

We went to the movies today and saw The Blind Side! What a very touching movie. True story too! I recommend it!!! I would buy this movie when it comes out. Sandra Bullock is great in this movie.
Also I rented The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This a different movie. It was good, they did a good job with make-up on Brad Pitt. The movie showed the viewer a different way to view life from Brad Pitt being born a old man to him getting younger and younger - till he is a little boy. What an imagination some people have!
Seven Pounds - has Will Smith in it. Not what I expected in this movie, but very good, very touching. Will Smith is a good actor anyway so I like most of his movies anyway. You have to pay attention in this movie or you will things.
