Living in the fast lane

Living in the Fast Lane

By Josh little - Tuesday, August 13, 2013

I had always liked to live in the "fast lane." I drove fast, ate fast, walked fast, and talked fast. Never thinking I would ever slow down. Old people that slowed me down made me extremely mad. They walked slow, ate slow, and drove slow I would get so upset! My teachers, friends, and family always told me that I needed to learn to slow down and enjoy life because one day, I too, would be old. "Yeah right," I thought, nothing's going to slow me down. Then, one day I was driving fast and almost ran into a little old lady. She had little beady eyes that stared deep into my eyes she just gave me the chills. I beeped my horn for her to get out of my way, but she slowly moved around the side of my car to my open driver's window. Softly and slowly she spoke these words, "You must learn to watch as you go and learn to take things slow because you never, never know how quickly you might grow." I thought she was just a crazy old lady. I hurried off, screeching my tyres as I drove away. Forgetting about what she said, I went to bed that night planning what adventures I'd do the next day. But, the next morning I woke up and could hardly move then I looked in the mirror and to my horror, staring back was an old, old man. What had happened? What was going on? Who was this person starring back at me? Then, I thought about what the little old lady had said. I felt my wrinkly old arms and cheeks they felt like they had been in the water for days. I went to run and splash water on my face but I could not run! I was going at the pace of a sloth. This was horrible I was never going to be old I had planed out my life. In my mind I saw the old lady steering at me with those little beedy eyes. I waddled I held the railing of the stairs and ran as fast as I could, it may sound as if I was going fast but no I was not I would have been slower then a snail. I eventually made it down the stairs I grabbed a bowl to put my cereal in but I was shaking so much I dropped it and it smashed on the ground. "Oh forget it," I said to myself as I was leaving for work. I went to put on my shoes as I looked down I saw moldy old green toenails but the worst part was in the years that I missed my toenails did not stop growing. "Man, I do not want to cut those toenails." I hopped in the car put the key in and drove. I was trying to go extremely fast but I just could not I was very slow. Horns were tooting everywhere it turns out that they were tooting at me but what for. I was driving a long and came to a set of lights they were green so went on through but halfway through they turned orange and then red! Cars swerved around tooting their horns and doing other stuff I probably should not tell you about. I did a dumb thing and decided to just keep driving sometimes old people must have no clue. After about ten close calls I made it out of those light my work was by those lights so I didn't have to drive much longer. I pulled into the car park and got out of the car. I walked into my work and stood behind the counter. I worked at rebel sports so it can be extremely busy. My first costumer walked up with a pair of soccer boots. He said hello and put them on the counter. I picked up the shoes and went to scan them but I kept on dropping them. My boss walked up and said, " You look a bit tired how about I take you home". Before I had a chance to answer he grabbed my arm and started to walk. He was walking so fast I was nearly getting dragged a long the ground. He put me in a car and drove I had to hold on he was going incredible fast well I think he was going fast but whom knows. I got home and laid down on the couch. Why did I have to drive fast I thought to myself why? I laid there thinking about those words and the beady eyes. Wait I know what to do I said sprinting as fast as I could, while I was running I was sure that I saw a tortoise passing bye but my eye sight might not be the best. After a while of thinking I made a decision I was going to do it. I stood on the road and a speeding car came right at me I closed my eyes. I waited for the impact but then what I wanted to happen happened. The car stopped I walked up to the drive and said , "You must learn to watch as you go and learn to take things slow because you never, never know how quickly you might grow." The driver speed of, I rushed into my house and hopped on the couch and dozed off. I woke up the next morning I got up and walked to the kitchen wait I was walking at a fast pace I was me again. Now that I had learnt my lesson I decided to make a promise to myself. It was to take things slow, but not too slow otherwise my life would be boring. On my way to work I met a old man in his car parked in the middle of a set of lights I drove past him and waved, I think that it might of made his day. I hopped out of the car and walked into work my boss was not there yet so I waited. My boss walked in and he looked very old. I think that I know who was driving that speeding car.

Make one wish

"Come on spurs," I scream as Gareth Bale runs down the wing. He fakes, a step over POOF someone or something magical appeared in front of me. "Hey get out of the way we might score her. "I have come to grant you just one wish because I am the magical and wonderful One wish genie," He bellowed. What! I thought Genies weren't real, but he might come in handy I thought to my self. Ideas of thing that I could wish for rushed through my head, a Ferrari could be fantastic then I realised that I can't drive but the point is there is millions of things to wish for. I thought very hard, and I made my decision. "I wish to have unlimited money," I said. "Your wish is my command," he replied then he vanished with out another word. I ran over to the phone and put in my friend Brodys phone number.

"Hello Brody speaking," I heard Brody say "Just get round to my house," I replied He then hung up and I knew that he was coming round. Brody was at my house super fast, and he was looking excited. "What's the news," he said "This genie came around to my house granted me one wish because he is the One wish genie and I wished for unlimited money so now we are going to Brazil," I replied. "Slow down buddy its fine with me if we go to Brazil but the genie thing that was just weird,". I told him the full story, and he believed me. We got a taxi to the airport when we arrived we realised we hadn't told our parents. We called our parents and left them a message. We brought our tickets and boarded the plane we just couldn't wait. The time came the plane took off we were away.

Everything was going smoothly until strange things happened. The plane started to wobble then the nose pointed straight to the ground we were plummeting straight down towards the sea. We were like a meteor crashing down towards the earth. We were metres away from our doom when suddenly the plane pulled up and we flew into the air. Everyone applauded for the pilot well that was everyone who was not still in shock from our fall.

We were now just over halfway through our flight, there had been some strong winds ever since that fall. Then a huge gust of wind hit the plane it shook like a rocking chair. People started to panic then we heard the pilot say " we might be experiencing a crash landing due to tornado's," "What," Brody and I screamed together. A tornado approached and we became caught up in it everyone was screaming including me, to be honest I was screaming like a little girl. I smashed through the seat belt and was flung around the plane. "Help," I yelled I looked up and I saw the walls of my bedroom. I looked at the time it said 7:37 I had over slept and it was Monday a school day. I was extremely glad it was a dream and not real. On the way to school the strangest thing happened for real this time, I met the One wish genie again! "Oh no I am not falling for you this time I'm out," I said sprinting down the road. Turns out that it was a young boy walking to a dress up birthday party, so that was a little bit embarrassing. Here is a tip never ever trust a genie.

Soccer skills week 1

This week in soccer skills we practised dribbling. It is with Napier City Rovers and the people who run it are Aaron and Harley. When dribbling you can use the outside, bottom, top and inside of you foot. My best dribbling spot is the top and inside of my foot. When using the bottom of your foot I like to roll my foot over the ball and it will spin back towards me. We also used both of our feet. I can dribble with both of my feet. I like to dribble with my left foot so I can tap the ball ahead and kick it with my right foot. Aaron also told us to mostly keep our head up bust sometimes look at the ball so you don’t lose control of it. I think that I am a pretty good dribbler and I know that because people have told me I have good dribbling skills and that I have good ball control. Soccer skills is really fun but the thing I am looking forward to the most is shooting and defending also some attacking.

Cross country training.

As we started our run I saw people speed off I just kept jogging slowly I didn’t want to waste my energy. I made it round to Miss Garland and got my first stick I still had heaps of energy so I kept on going. When I got round to Mr Cottrell the people who had sprinted were now basically walking. I looked up ahead and it was lucky I looked up otherwise I would've crashed into the basketball hoop.I kept on going some people looked at Mr Cottrell and saw he wasn’t looking so they started to walk. While I was running I looked to my side and I sore Renee go past me she was going really fast. Miss Garland handed me another stick I was puffing a little bit but I was ok. I ran past the cricket nets and I started to speed up. “Nice pace Josh,” I heard Mr Cottrell say. That made me want to go a little bit faster so I did I got to Miss Garland and then I regretted speeding up because I was starting to get tired so I slowed down again trying not to walk I jogged past Marshall he sounded like he was breathing like usain bolt does after winning the 200m. I kept going for the last two laps and I was pretty tired at the end. Mr Cottrell showed us some stretches and ways to become less tired and they actually worked. It is pretty hard work doing this training.      

Colgate prize.

Today in assembly Miss Garland announced that we had one a prize from the Colgate competition. The competition was to make a video about why people should use Colgate to brush their teeth. Miss Garland held up our bag and said, "From the Colgate competition our class one a prize our prize is six P.E sports balls." It was pretty cool when I hear that we had one these because we could use them for games like dodge ball and some other games. All of the balls have their own colour and own number. I'm sure that our class will have a lot of fun with these balls.
