a little early, a little late.

I have no clue what to write about. There-fore you got this blog.

When you walk into the Orchestra room, 2nd period everyday, you see a fun-loving-laughing-smiling-disfunctional family. The only thing that will soon be missing is the father figure we all look up to. Mr. Root is retiring after 44 years of wonderful-patient teaching. We all knew this was going to happen sooner or later, but everyone was wishing it would be later. As he announced his retirement, tears began to puncture the surprised eyes of many sitting in their seats. Everyone was silent, and Mr. Root even looked/sounded as if he could break down crying. That probably made it just that much harder to listen to. You know everyone genuinely loved Mr. Root almost as if a family member when nobody wants to acknowledge this terrible fate. My hope was Mr. Root would retire after i graduate my senior year. He is only a couple years early.

Mr. Root has been pushing for an auditorium solely for MC Schools. Unfortunately, now that he is retiring, we will be receiving this. Along with a major remodel of the high school.

Currently our lunchroom is bare, white, and institutional. Trying to keep a optimistic look on the plans is sometimes difficult since by the time the renovations are complete, I will have graduated. I know its not about me or my grade or anything like that, but its frustrating knowing everything will be different next time i step foot into the high school. Places were memories were created will have been changed. I know this is a silly way of looking at things, but: elementary -- Jefferson got a walking track after I/my grade left; Middle School -- JAMS added gum chewing to the list of acceptable behaviors in the classroom not saying it stopped anyone anyway, (my grade did have a big part in that because we showed all the facts proving it helped students retain information); and High School -- a largely updated building will be completed. Everything has been a little late.

So if you haven't figured it out yet, Mr. Root's retirement is a little early, and the changes are a little late. But what can you do about it? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Nothing is left to say right now, so until next time....Exit Stage Left.

Unbelievable!

                                                                                
10 extreme Hollywood body makeovers
  Okay so I knew that celebrities
dropped a few pounds for
different roles, but I had
no clue that they went to
these measures! I am mainly
 talking about the middle
picture you see here.
When I first saw it I had
absolutely no idea that it
was an actor let alone who
it was. I will talk about some
of the other pictures I found
in this article.

Taylor Lautner


Sorry but I just had to include this gorgeous photo of Taylor. Look at his abs!!! (Yes it was in the same article.) The information about Taylor talked about how much more muscle he had gained, 30 more pounds of muscle. He trained in martial arts to gain most of his muscle, 5 – 7 times a week.



Christian BaleCan anyone guess who this
is??  I sure couldn’t.
This is Christian Bale.
Bale stands 6 foot 2 inches
and in the left picture
weighed only 120 pounds. 
The producers for The
 Machinist stopped him
 when he reached 120,but he
wanted to drop to 99 pounds!

To drop this weight he opted for extreme starvation.
He didn’t have any medical advice. All he ate for months is a can of tuna and an apple. Bale told Access Hollywood  – “There’s no easy way of doing it. I’m starving the whole time, I’m hungry as hell.”


When I saw this picture I couldn't believe my eyes! The difference between the guy on the right and left is humongous!  He looks like a zombie, and to risk your health and everything just for an acting role? Is it really worth it? I am sure there are plenty of roles out there that you wouldn't have to risk it for. The job might not pay as well as this role but for me I wouldn't risk all this for one role when there are tons of other roles out there. Isn't there a way that we could have used technology (like special effects, green screen, even make-up) to make this character look like a skeleton without dropping to a dangerous weight?  Our technology is pretty awesome now a days. It makes me sad when people are willing to change for others. Especially when it involves a disease, not just for a role. PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER LOOK THIS WAY!! (they should look more like taylor lautner -- hahahahaha) Well I think that is all I have to say for now, until next time Exit Stage Left.
