Rancho had a good football season. They worked very hard to get in the playoffs. They played Petaluma High School and it was the best game of their season. After the game I had interviewed Andy Richardson and this is what he said.” I was running down the field as I watched Sean Fish make a great play by diving and extending the ball out in front of him as it went across the plane. He was hit while in the air but he still got the ball across and he landed just outside the end zone. Then after we scored and they took it from us coach called 31 wedge, Petaluma had to backers standing in that gap but still Sergio got the ball and ran in to me as we both fell across the goal line. We had more heart and the Line did a great job giving Sergio the chance. As i was getting up a saw the goal line i crossed that I know Sergio crossed to but once again we were robbed. I knew we got in both time and I was right because I just watched the film over and over again and its clear that Rancho really won that game. We were the first 16 seed in the NCS to beat a 1 seed.Everyone of my teammates and coach’s know in our heart that we pulled together and did it as a team. I will forever have a great respect for my teammates who played with everything they had and left it all on the field. We gave it our all and to me the final score of that game is 13-12. I think that this is very unfair and that Rancho should have one. After talking to Andy about this I feel bad for the whole team because I know how bad they wanted this. Its too bad it had to end this way but it did.

Lady Gaga is playing at the Bill Graham Civic auditorium on December 12th and 13th. Although I would have loved to go, the tickets have sold out. The tickets sold out for her concert within minutes. Many poeople have bad things to say about her, but also so many people have good things to say. What I like about her music is that it is very different from all other genres and she is unique.  She always has a new hairdo and wears masks to each concert. she always has a big suprise up her sleeve at every concert. Lady Gaga also never seizes to amaze her following at every concert.Although I have never seen her in concert, I would love the oppurtunity to witness one of her concerts. Lady Gaga is not only a role model, but she does have her flaws. Her concerts are controversal and most likely are not appropriete for children under the age of 15.  So if you are over the age of fifteen years old, go enjoy a wonderful production. I can’t wait to see her in concert, because i am going to her concert in San Jose on August 16,2010.

On saturday November 28th, there was a terrible car crash on Lakeville Highway in Marin County. It was a family of four that got hit by an oncoming vehicle and the whole family died. Even with this tragedy in mind, a couple of heartless people broke into the descesed families home and robbed it. They stole all of the families valuable belongings, even their second car. This makes me feel really bad for the family even though they are passed away. It not only affected the friends of the Maloney’s, but the rest of the family that they were related to. I believe the punishment of the couple who robbed the house should be in jail for several years. these people need to pay for the horrible thing that they have done. because if you cant do the time, than dont do the crime. I have no sympathy for them at all. It infureates me that someone would try to do something so disgustingly cowardly.

In the new york times this month there was an article about how your cell phone could be testifying against you. It was talking about how the government can trace your phone or hack into it if they needed to find information about you. It also talked about If you were to get your phone stolen what kind of things would be stored in your phone? For example, if you were to have a phone that can go on the internet, they can see what sites you are looking at. Also if you are on a social network such as facebook, myspace, or twitter they could possibly see what your doing on them and what you are saying.  Some people put their personal information into their cell phones like bank information, social security number, and other important personal things. It is never a good idea to do that because if your phone were to get stolen, somebody would have your personal information. One of the stories that were in the article was when a Cop needed to get a hold of his daughter because she was not answering her cell phone, so he called the company and said he needed to trace a phone for a criminal on the loose even though it was his daughter he was really looking for. The company did it and he got the trace. Although he lied, I still don’t think that was very reasonable. I think if you want to trace  a phone call it should be for a reasonable cause such as a real criminal case. I also think if the government needs information about you they should be able to go through your phone. But if you are not doing anything wrong you should not be worried about the government going through your phone. The government should be able to have access to your phone if its for lawful means. The police and government should have a warrant to be able to do that I think. If there is a ransom or a serial killer on the loose I think the police should still have a warrant to be able to go through your phone.
