Hello, my name is Rigo Garza and I am from Mexico and I am 17 years old. I currently live in Florida I moved here from Mexico City in 2011. I play guitar and thats the main subject I want to talk about right now. I've been playing it for 6 years now. I stopped for a while in my junior year but now I am hitting it strong again. The guitar is a very simple instrument but yet complicated. A lot of things in this world are easy in the beginning and then they get harder but not for the guitar the hard part is learning the basics and familiarize yourself with the guitar. Once you have accomplished that its easy. It has interested me since i was 4 years old but i could never do it I tried and try and when i was 11 I tried it once again and I understood its not easy but with time it will get  better and its worth it. 

The scientific definition of Napalm is a thickening/gelling agent generally mixed with petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device, initially against buildings and later primarily as an anti-personnel weapon. "Napalm" is a combination of the names of two of the constituents of the gel: naphthenic acid and palmitic acid. 

The US Air Force and US Navy used napalm with great effect against all kinds of targets to include troops, tanks, buildings, jungles, and even railroad tunnels. The effect was not always purely physical as napalm had psychological effects on the enemy as well. 

Napalm B was used in flamethrowers and bombs by American and Allied forces in World War II. It is believed by some that Napalm B is formulated to burn at a specified rate and to adhere to surfaces to increase its stopping power. During combustion, Napalm rapidly deoxygenates the available air and generates large amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Napalm bombs were used during the Vietnam War. 

What do you look for in a friend?

Friends are a major part of everyones life. They influence you in a lot of different ways, some are good and some are fake in other words are there just because they want something. Trust is the major thing everyone looks for in a person to have asa a friend or at least thats what I look for because if u can trust them then you can do everything with no problems because if you don't trust each other theres always a doubt and you can never get so close. Everyone at least once in their life has someone that comes into their lives temporarily and then leaves because they need to or you did. In the other hand when you do find someone that is a good friend and is always there it is worth it because you know you can trust them with everything and they will be there because they want to not because they need to. Thats the best way to have a friend because they want to not because you pressure them or anything in that style. Friends hurt you or help you in a lot of different ways. They can either be there for you when you need them or never care or even show up. Anyways there will always be a risk of not having a real one but it is very worth to keep looking because if you find someone that can get close to you and understand you it is great. 

A Noiseless Patient Spider
by Walt Whitman

A noiseless, patient spider, 

I mark’d, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated; 

Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding, 

It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself; 

Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you, O my Soul, where you stand, 

Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space, 

Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,—seeking the spheres, to connect them; 

Till the bridge you will need, be form’d—till the ductile anchor hold; 

Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.

I chose this poem because it was the one that caught my attention the fastest and it has a very interesting topic. How he compares his soul to a spider is fascinating just to think of that idea is hard and I liked it. "And you, O my Soul, where you stand," I feel that that line is where everything comes together because first is the spider and then he talks about his soul and how he made that transition was good.

I liked this blog a lot because it has a lot of colors and it attracts your attention right away. It has a lot of important information about snowboarding such as new snowboarders getting on teams or up coming events. These kinds of blogs are the ones that I'm looking for because they are interesting and say things with details and links.

Blog entry Number 2

“One of the things that I enjoy the most is snowboarding. Ive snowboarded for 5 or 6 years now and I love it. The best feeling is to feel the wind in your face when you are going down carving threw the snow. Snowboarding really helps me relax and just think about things. Up in the mountain there is no phones no distractions no anything just you and your board. I reflection about a lot of things when I'm going down the mountain and just see white fluffy snow everywhere. I can think clearly about everything when I'm going down. Something else that I enjoy a lot is jet-skiing its the same as snowboarding just go to the front and just think and enjoy the water and just relax. I've done that for a longer time and my uncle recently just bought 2 of them so every weekend that I go out to Miami I take the time to go and use them and just take a break of everything for some time.”

I think this was my best post because honestly its the one that i put more effort into it and because its of something that i love and describes me. For me snowboarding is a very big part of my life and i do it a lot, one of the main reasons i want to go to Colorado is because of that so i really think this post is very important and good because it explains a lot about me, I even did a college essay about it because its me.
