Shangela, Death Drop Queen?

Hey everyone it's the one the only Shangela, just kidding but seriously if I were a girl my name would be Shangela.
 You may be like Dylan why Shangela? Well it is such a unique name, and also if you don't know Shangela is someone who's famous for the death drop. (gif ab) Another thing is think no one can forget your name because how can anyone forget the name Shangela. Finally the name Shangela makes me feel strong and powerful.

Math? + - = %

Hello people of the internet, today I am going to tell you what I imagine myself doing in my district. The way I will be deciding what I should do is by making a list of my strengths and weaknesses. 

1. I do not do well with small children at all.
2. I think that my skills at math are above average.
3. I'm not very athletic.
4. I listen to music every day
5. I am not very organized
6. I am very creative, but I'm not good at drawing/ painting

From this short list I concur that the position in my district that I would be best fit for is a math teacher for 7th-8th graders. The reason I chose this position is because I think math is a very simple subject and it is also very easy to teach in my opinion. 

The most gratifying list ever

I am sitting in my room listening to some Fergie, while I think about how thankful I be for all the little things in life like the soft moose pillow that is located under my gluteus maximus.

Be grateful for the little things in life.

Recently I was browsing the Internet and found a video that made me take a minute to think about all the things I have to be grateful for. In this video there is a veteran who is at a fast-food restaurant and for the life of me I can't remember which one, but in the video the man asks if the restaurant offers military discount. Then a few seconds later this women behind him says something along the lines of that is so ungrateful. After the man hears this he tells the woman that she should be grateful that she gets to go home every night to her family who she knows is safe. I added the video link in case you wanted to watch it.

2. I am thankful for books which I can always count on to be my escape from reality
3. I am thankful for musicians- such as Fergie, Calvin Harris,  and Rihana. Their music cheers me up when I feel down

5. I am thankful for friends who will never let me down
6. I am thankful for school, which teaches me not just math and science but right from wrong
7. I am thankful for Mrs. Joyner who always has something fun planned for class
8. I am thankful for my house which a lot of people in this world don't get the privilege of having
9. I am thankful for my dog. After all the times she has made me laugh I always have to smile when I see her
10. Finally I am thankful to be in a position in life to be typing this blog because as a lot of you readers know some people aren't fortunate enough to have a lot of things we take for granted

Food, Glorious Food

Omg it's time to talk about the most amazing coveted item in the entire world... FOOD. Today Chef Dylan is going to teach you how to make CALAMARI, but first let me tell you how good it is: it's so crispy, juicy, and flavorful.

How to Make Calamari

Step 1: Buy INGREDIENTS 

• Squid
• 2 cups of Milk
• 3 Eggs
• 2 cups of Flour (Not Flower that would not taste good)
• Oil
• Assorted spices

Step 2: Prepare, Cut, and Clean you're ingredients (Cause we don't want that ratchet squid)

Step 3: Insert Squid into a bowl filled with 2 cups milk after letting the mixture thicken for 5 minutes and let it soak for 4 hours (Optional add lemon juice to the milk)

Step 4: Insert 2 cups of flour and mix it with 1 teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of black pepper in a separate bowl 

Step 5: Beat 3 eggs in a separate bowl until you think it is Perfect and I mean Perfect.  I don't really know what this means, but it sounds great.

Step 6: Now comes the fun part: we get to prepare the fryer with oil (Heat over medium/360 degrees F)

Step 7: Next we want to remove the squid from the milk mixture and place it in the beaten eggs. Then, right after putting them in the eggs, you want to transfer them to the flour.

Step 8: Finally, we want to place them in the fryer for about 4 minutes or until they are brown and crispy.

Step 9: Enjoy your tasty calamari!

Childhood Memories

Hello again my fellow readers, today I am going to be telling you about my favorite childhood show. I don't know if you guys have ever seen the show Arthur but it's about these animals that are portrayed as people.

Basically the show was about how these kid in elementary school and their struggles and the way they would solve them. One episode was about how Arthur's sister D.W. saw a show about people getting their dream wedding, so she tells Muffie, Arthur's very rich friend, that she's getting married and they plan a whole wedding and then she backs out at the last second. P.S. she's only in like second grade it was a full scale wedding. Some episodes are like that and are just funny, some have mesages about friendship, and other had lessons about math or how the tides raise.

Where I see myself in 10 years

Hello again fellow readers,
                Today on October 5th 2016, I am going to tell you where I see myself in 10 years. In 10 years I want to be traveling the world writing articles for a magazine or a newspaper. I would like to travel the world because traveling the world would be so amazing. First of all during my lifetime I have never traveled outside this country which I aspire to do. I don't know if I'm gonna want kids because if I travel a lot for my job I might not have enough time to spend with my kids. If I don't become a journalist I would probably want to work at an animal shelter. The reason I would want to work at an animal shelter is because I like caring for animals.

Water Park Trip

Today I am going to tell you about my trip to Mount Olympus, and I know your like how does a child get to go to the home of the Gods. Well that's not the Mount Olympus I went to I went to the water park located in Wisconsin Dells. I took this trip with my overnight camp, which made it all the more fun. The first thing on my groups agenda which consisted of me, my friend from preschool Zach, this kid named Matthew, and our counselor Luke was to go on the mat slides. So we went down the mat slides with our other friends waiting in the line with us since I'm kind of a light person I didn't do so well, but I did have a lot of fun. The next thing we did after lunch was relax in the lazy river. After going around a staggering 5 times Luke and I decided to go on a slide called Demons Drop. So imagine a 130 foot slide with a 60 foot drop. Well I don't know about you but I wasn't very scared because I've gone on it before, but that didn't stop my from being nervous. When I was going down the slide it was a sensation as if you were falling for 2 seconds, and at one point my back didn't touch the slide but since I'm writing this blog post you know that I made it out but, if you ever get the chance to go on Demos Drop I would encourage it because it is a feeling like none other.

Bird Quote

First of all I'm doing bird quotes because they relate to my blog and birds are awesome. Well this quote has many logical reasons. The first one is all humans have doubts in themselves at times in there life. Birds can just soar and fly free with no worries of little things like there appearances. Exception of there appearance is most likely for mating, but only then. Also if people could fly then there would be that eventual person to just fall out of the sky "me."
