I would like to start out by apologizing to my avid readers of Drizzle is Burning, but I have decided to go in a different direction for this fourth marking period of our senior year. I have chosen to read fairy tale stories but the Brother's Grimm and Walt Disney. After I read this famous stories I will then compare how the stories appeased to their time era and the differences and similarities of the stories. Its going to be an interesting project, which will be fun at the same time. For the project part of this assignment I will be making two short stories. One from the prospective of Brothers Grimm and one from Walt Disney's. This should be a good project for me to do to finish out my senior year. I think a lot of people will enjoy reading my paper and listening to my stories. So be here for next week when I post about how my project is going and far I have gotten. I may put a few parts of my paper or stories into my blog to drag all my fans in.
Don't forget to check out my boy Matt George Marini's blog the kid has something brewing for his project and is one short step away from excellence.

But wait there's more...
You all thought it was over huh? Well I'm back and ready to embark on another journey aka "fourth marking final period project." This marking period we as a class are going to do what ever we basically want. I chose to do my research on steroids and the effects it has had on baseball. Baseball is America's past time and has been around for about 100 years. For the first 90 years of baseball it has been a beloved and clean game. But recently this innocence has been tarnished. Players have been using substances like steroids or HGH (Human Growth Hormones) to improve their game. This is completely unfair and embarrassing to those who love this sport. People who don't deserve starting spots, the up and coming next best player, or those who have secured a spot in the Hall of Fame have used these illegal substances. It's terrible to think that all the greatness we have seen like Roger Clemens record his 4,000th strike out, Mark McGuire break the all time homerun record in a season, Barry Bonds a few years later come and break that record, then see Barry Bonds pass Hamerin' Hank to be the all time homerun leader ever has only been possible because of these drugs. These records and milestones may be in the record books now but there are ways to make sure this never happens again. Not only will I be informing more people about the usage of steroids in baseball, I will also speak about my plans to stop this and what penalties there must be if caught. This is just the appetizer for what is coming up next. So stick around and find out. This is drizzle bloggin out.
