Many of the lost boys died traveling from place to place trying to survive the elements. They were kicked out of their town and forced to flee because soon the government planned to kill them. While on the run some boys would lose the will to walk or go on. This is a sad sight when kids are forced to run for their lives. The most interesting part of the story, in my opinion is when the lost boys had to cross the river. Some kids didn't know how to swim so the ones that did could only help 1 person cross. There was a mention that crocodiles infested the lake and were ready to kill if you looked them in the eyes.
Those lost boys that were rescued and brought to the US as refugees are living a better life now. Some of them looked for further education to prosper in life. In the video, some of them have learned pretty good English. This whole story reminded me of my mom's stories of her running from the Khmer Rouge when she was younger. Where she and our family would be on the run trying to survive. Some people were put into Concentration Camps and forced to do whatever Pol Pot told them to do. But my family found a way to make it to the UN and then were sent to America as refugees.

Growing Up too Fast
So last weekend I was at Dom's B-day party, And it made me think how fast we all grew up. I remember how we were all little kids with no care in the world except who would win at hide and go seek in the dark. My cousins and I have known each other and been close for as long as I can remember. Chris and Linda are my age, we're all sophomores. Dom is the youngest, just became 15 but taller than all of us. Rado's the oldest and shortest XD. We always make fun of each other for something, Rado for being short, Linda for her K-Pop obsession, Dom's the tall boy who took 2 years to grow his eyebrows back, and Chris is fat and the funniest guy ever. I'm just the smart kid in the family.
Now We're all growing up. In 2-3 years I probably won't see them as much. I plan to go off to college. Last weekend was the first time we all were together for the past year. I'll miss these days the most. When we all just hang out and throw cake at the birthday boy and give him his punches. I still owe Dom 14 eheheh. Since this is a vague topic I just wanted to post I'll just finish it up with some stuff.
"Chris can't be a bodyguard, by the time you need help he'll turn around around with chicken in his mouth like and say what??"
"Haha, Dom has no eyebrows"
"hehe Rado's short"

RAGE QUIT
I press the A button, it doesn’t do anything.
I press the B button, it doesn’t do anything.
My controller is not lit, TIME TO CHANGE BATTERIES!
I put in new batteries, turn on the controller… Nothing! What’s happening? Why are they all dead?
I watch the screen in horror to see Steven creep up on me, and BAM. I’m dead.
Damn you Steven! I feel frustrated, inpatient and cheated! But Steven doesn’t hear me, because my controller is dead. Why? No batteries..
I lob my controller at the ground, turn off the television and RAGE quit. EhEheh, a short little story because I was bored.

HADOUKEN!!
Ahhh, Blog time again! Hello reader, how's your day? So it's scheduling week again. So far I signed up for AP English III, News Broadcast, Pre-Calculus, Chemistry II, AP European History, US Gov, Psychology, Band, and Jazz band. I want to learn how to edit in news broadcasting. The rest of the classes are regular classes I would take every year except Psychology. I think Phychology will be an interesting class. Pshhh I'm sooo cold while I type this.
DIFFERENT SUBJECT
Who's ready for the warmer weather?!! I love the warm weather. If I had a choice of either living here OR living somewhere else warm, I would live in the warmer place. Either Florida or some other warm place. I would love waking up to warm weather every day.
GAMING SECTION
OMG, Homefront is coming out next week. I'm gonna see if I can get it or not. It's a game about a war on American soil. Or I'm gonna save up money for a Haupaugge HD PVR to record gameplay.
