“The Car Ride from Hell”
It was 4:30 on the dot on a friday. I just couldn’t wait to get going. This was the day that I got to go on a road trip to Indiana to see all my friends and family for 2 weeks; but the one thing that I never thought that could happen did happen.
I didn’t even sleep that night from all of the excitement that was going through my head.I just couldn’t wait because I haven’t seen these people in about 2 years, and with that there was going to be a lot of catching up to do. Anyway, that morning I woke up my Gram, uncle, and sister. We all got ready to go, got dressed, ate mangos, and got in the car to go. The car looked like a little clown car with all the clowns stuffed inside. The only thing I didn’t like that morning

”Yes please!” I said as I was hopping into the front seat of my Gram’s little pink car. I didn’t wanna get stuck back there with all of the stuff, and my snoring sister.
Then we started to drive off. We saw about 3 deer that morning, and heard my uncle belch from the back seat.
”Oh come on Wesely. Can’t you use your manners for once,” said my Gram.
All my Uncle did back was laugh right at her, because I guess he found it to be hilarious to get in trouble. When he burped, I should've known it wasn’t going to be good.
Our first stop was about 3 hours into driving. We went to Mickey D’s and got some nasty, garbage smelling breakfast burritos. They made my stomach flip around for a little bit, but I was still hungry so I got a scrumches Egg Mick Muffin. My favorite off the menu if I don’t say so myself. But my uncle ate that burrito because he liked it of course. He’s like a vacuum. It was a bad idea to give it to him though.
When we got back into the car the GPS didn’t save the location of my Grams house so we tried to put it back in. We were good right up until we got to ohio. It was about 20 miles into ohio and the whole car was

”Guys stop,” said Gram. I’ve fallen asleep again and was woken up by all of the ruckus. The funny thing was every time I would fall asleep my gram would get us lost. That was about the third time though that added a hour to are drive. But this time was different. It brought us to a house. And so my uncle thought it was funny that we were lost once again. And was laughing for about five minutes straight. I think that’s what did it.
All I hear is “Mom,” coming from my uncle.
Next thing I see is a little orange chunks flying through the air. Me being the noisy person I am, I took a look behind me...BIG MISTAKE! There was a fountain of little orange chunks flowing out of my uncle's mouth. Gram then slammed on the brakes, my head hitting the dash. She hurried to my uncle’s side of the car and opened up the door. He sprung out and then a scene out of the lucky charms commercial played; but this time my uncle wasn't so lucky. A waterfall of the rainbow flowing right out of my uncle’s

    Like any good Muse of Cuisine and Libation would do, I perused the drink menu and decided on a prickly pear margarita and my friend ordered some blue drink. My drink was a tad sweet for me, but it wasn't bad. Yet again, Jalapeno Tree decided to drop some "fun" in our drinks with some wacky straws. For our meal we decided to share a large Deluxe Chicken and Beef Nachos which came with beans, sour cream, guacamole, jalapenos, tomatoes, cheese, and more cheese. People!…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    Despite having lived in Texas for three years, we had never actually eaten real barbecue, so today was a good chance to dig in. We went to a cozy barbecue restaurant nestled in Schulenburg. I had the sausage plate with baked beans and curly fries, and it was absolutely delicious! I am not a big fan of the smoky taste of barbecue, but that sausage was so good I had to order a second one. My brother had a supposedly “Texas classic”- a Frito pie, which he loved.…

    I woke with a start at the obnoxious noise coming from my alarm. It was 9:00 a.m. on a Thursday, in the middle of the summer. Today, I was going to my favorite place in the world: the Tulsa State Fair. I dragged myself down the creaking stairs and into the family room, where I turned on the television.

    Excitement built up inside of me. We were about an hour away from my aunt’s house; I loved the thought of being with my family, but I also loved the daring and silly activities that we did when we got there. That summer, we had gone to a strawberry farm. I thought that it was going to be incredibly monotonous and absurd; but I was wrong. It was torrid and unbearable in the summer heat, and when we arrived there, I sat back and dreaded the walk, but the summer brought great things to that…

    Then we checked back into our hotel and as I fell asleep I grew anxious in anticipation for the big game tomorrow night. The next day started off by eating breakfast at the hotel. It was the typical continental breakfast which consisted of waffles, cereal, donuts, bacon and eggs and other types of good food. At breakfast we decided that we would get to the game early so that we could experience all of the exciting pregame festivities. I mostly sat around and watched TV until it was time to go to the game.…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
