Mud on the Tires

Carma All I remember is a very loud crack, and i felt like I was drowning. Now i am setting in the hospital. I will explain it all started back a year ago. I would set around my house wondering what to do my mom would yell, “get outside.” Thin my best friend Jem introduction me to bike riding we rode about every evening. I guess you can say that i got addicted to riding. That made my mom very happy i was outside every evening after school with or without my friend. I started to not even invite…

I could hear and feel the tires spinning and the smell of fresh mud began to seep into the trunk, so I discerned that we had gotten stuck somewhere. I was hoping they would let us out to help push and forget about this ridiculous game, when I heard another voice approaching the vehicle. The voice…

March 25th my parents surprised me with my first pickup and man was it a beauty, to me anyways. I was almost 14 but I have been driving since kindergarten and driving manual since I was nine years old. This is so significant to me because it was my first pickup and I fell in love with it. My pickup was a 1985 F150 four wheel drive and a manual. I love driving manual so much I hate automatic vehicles with a passion, but that’s just my opinion. Two days after I got my pickup I had got my permit.…

Analyzing the “Freak Show” Reebok’s Be More Human Ad Campaign Reebok’s television advertisement “Freak Show” begins with people doing various CrossFit recreational exercises such as flipping tires, running through mud, and climbing ropes while a voice over talks about being obsessive, fanatical, extreme, and crazy. Workout music plays in the background as well. It shows both mean and women around the age of 30. “Freak Show” isn’t just selling a shoe: the company wants us to believe that it’s…

Every year, my brother, my mom, my dog, and I go to Grand Lake Stream for the 4th of July. We meet up with a large group of family friends and we all stay in cabins or houses. Grand Lake Stream is a quaint town in Maine, and there’s only one store in the town, the Pine Tree general store. Grand Lake is about a ten hour drive from Saratoga, New York. Last year, the drive took longer than usual. It’s late afternoon, about three or four, and we are about nine hours into the drive. To get into town…

It does not, in fact, catch me, instead I am falling. A branch knocks me back onto the ravine wall. I slide down, getting covered in mud and dead leaves, hitting rocks and stumps, tumbling down into the dark. My arm gets snags on something. A fallen tree. A gnarled branch. It screeches me to a halt. When my mind catches up to my halted body. I move my arm close to my face and look at it. Beads of blood emerge like seeds sprouting in spring. They grow and burst, flowering down my arm. I follow…

recess, he would go back to class with a smirk on his face and continue not to learn. John stayed like this way all throughout elementary school; more worried about his image and popularity than school work. John continued in his ways like a tire stuck in mud, repeating its cycle over and over. When Elementry was over and Middle School started, John wasn’t as popular. Sure he still had his group of friends, but he had become a small fish in a big pond. John was chained back by his inability to…

This day was so horrible and I never ever want it to happen again. Horrible days with trampolines and annoying little and older brothers. “Hey Reagan, how you are doing” said my dad as I gladly walked out of a silver Lincoln navigator with dusty tires from a bumpy white shell rock road. With me being so happy I ran up to him and gave him a hug with warm tears staining my face as I sobbed with joy. I had said a mean goodbye to my mom and walked away as my step mom accompanied me to a midnight…

Ever since I was little my favorite place has been the Wapsi. The Wapsi is a river but there is a spot by the river that is heaven to me. This spot is where my dad owns 5 acres of property, where I can ride four-wheelers, shoot guns, go fishing, go boating, go swimming, and raise livestock without anyone ever noticing. My dad is going to give me this property once I graduate high school. There is only one stipulation; I have to keep a 3.0 or higher which isn’t a problem for me so far. There is…
