What we
got for Christmas… By Rosa Hurtado and
Frank White Remember those weeks when you were able to sleep in, and then woke up with a big fat guy on top of your roof? Well, maybe not the part about the big fat guy, but you do remember waking up on that not-so-white Christmas. Rosa and Frank are here to tell you what some ALC students and teachers received on Christmas. Cody Phrommany. He received a big o’ yellow Sponge Bob T-shirt, leather gloves, and a watch. So maybe next time you see him, you can ask him what time it is. Dez the gothic woman. She received two pairs of pants, a T-shirt, bubble bath, and special underwear clothing from her baby Ryan. Hmm… Raul Gonzales. He really didn’t get that much. All he really got was a pair of shoes, a new CD player, and some good lovin’ from his girlfriend. So give him a high five. Korey Steinhart. Since he collects cool stuff he got a dragon collectable thingy, (Continued à) |
What did you get for Christmas? a street racing calendar, and some personal toys. Rachel Reese. She got a Gordman’s gift card, a wonderful ring from Korey, and some other interesting things. We’ll leave it at that… Mr. Z. He got DVD’s and some clothing that he probably has to exchange because his mother thinks he is 50 years old. We kind of agree with his mom. Frank Rodriguez. He said he got new things, but he also pleads the fifth. So maybe you can get it out of him. Sorry to all the students, but we had to limit our room on this web page. Maybe next year we will ask you. |

Welcome to
the machine By Naythen Gross Have you ever wondered why teachers are so weird and freaky deaky? Well, I will tell you up front that all teachers are machines. What is my proof? Well, think about it, they all have a specific category that they teach in (Math, Science, English), and that’s all they do – they just each those specific classes. First off, just look at Mr. Lowry, he is a machine, and you can tell just by looking at him. Have you ever realized that all teachers do is tell you to do your homework, quiet down, or tell you that you did a good job in something? Well, that’s because that’s all they are programmed to do. I mean, they are programmed to explain lessons, hand out assignments, and tell you to be quiet, or to keep working.
Also, if you think about it, all teachers try to raise self esteem. Well, that’s another program thing I think, to try to teach kids that everybody is equal. If everybody is brought up to think that they are equal, and have the same opportunities, and all that stuff, then the machines will be able to take over the world a lot easier. I don’t know how, but they will. (Continued à) |
Mr. Lowry
the Machiniac Teachers are machines. That’s all you need to know. I leave you with a quote from the GOD of Psychedelic Rock, who happens to have a quote for EVERY story I have written thus far: Welcome my
son, welcome to the machine. ---Pink
Floyd ---Welcome
to the Machine |

Nobody
Cares Nobody cares Cause nobody’s there Look around and all you see Is wind blowing in the tree’s Everything’s gone Without a trace Look in the mirror to see the face It’s not the same as it was before Looking at life behind closed doors The music is done Thus its faded Everything’s boring And I’m so jaded I feel so cold, Lonely and old. There is no music left to play ‘Cause everyone’s so far away -- Naythen Gross

Deep Thoughts People are
Strange The Amazing Doors By Naythen Gross Jim Morrison was one of the greatest artists of the 1960’s. He sang with the band the Doors, and recorded 9 CDs, which is an accomplishment in itself, because most bands in the 60’s only had 2-3 albums, and stopped after that. The band itself consisted of Jim Morrison (vocals), Robby Kriegar (Guitar), Ray Manzarak (keyboard/synthesizer), and John Densmore (Percussion). This band was one of the most influential bands of its time. At the time, most bands only came out with two albums, and then toured for those albums, and couldn’t make another one, because of lack of material. This band came out with NINE ALBUMS! The best thing that I love about this band was there was no bassist. Originally, there was one, but then Ray Manzarak bought a Fender keyboard/synthesizer and could play with both his left and right hand, and so a bassist wasn’t really needed. The

Music-poet
Jim Morrison Jim Morrison had a way with words. He was one of the greatest poet/artists of his time. He was able to mix blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock with poetry. I am going to end this story with a quote from the title of the story, People are Strange. People are strange,
when you're a stranger Faces look
ugly when you're alone People seem
wicked, when you're unwanted Streets are
uneven, when you're down Two of the Doors’ nine albums |
