Good song - Walk on Water - Milk Inc.

There was a time
When nothing would last
There was a time
I held on to the past

I would walk on water
just to be with you
Walk on water
just to be with you
Split the ocean, cross the sea
Walk on water, if you believe...

There was a time
I lost my faith
There was a time
I could only hate

You were my shepherd
you were my guide
I follow your dark eyes
right into the night
You were my saviour
You took control
you came and touched my soul

I would walk on water
just to be with you
Walk on water
just to be with you
Split the ocean, cross the sea
Walk on water, if you believe...

There was a time
when nothing would last
There was a time
I held on to the past

You were my shepherd
you were my guide
I followed your dark eyes
right into the night
You were my saviour
You took control
you came and touched my soul

But why are you still overshadowed by a doubt?
if only you could see
The love that carries me....

I would walk on water
just to be with you
Walk on water
just to be with you
Split the ocean, cross the sea
Walk on water, if you believe...
Repeat 2x

Hello! My name is James McGuire as you know. I am nineteen
years old, in three more months, I'll be twenty. I was born December 5
, 1983 up in the Sierra Foothills of Placerville. My goals in my livelihood is to
major into computers and geography. I have found an opportunity to work in Dublin
, California with GPS and GIS at Camp Parks a very small military base run like
Ft. Ord. But, that military base is bigger than Camp Parks. I've found
this really good job opportunity to make enough money through a guy who brings his
baby son which my mother takes care of him. We are using Magnetometer Carts for
this project. My mother does day care. She takes care of babies and toddlers. I'll be working up inDublin with his brother working with Magnetometer
Carts at the Environmental building at Camp Parks. If this job goes so well, I will
look into many classes into this subject to work and dream to make enough money
to good things in my life for the future.

I am taking the Lindamood Program for the second time
and I really like it. My tutor's name, her name, is Morag. Because I
want to major into computers and geography, I can have a wonderful career to make
lots of money to use it for leisure in traveling and have a wonderful life. I can
type up to 52 wpm. I learned French at Seaside High School for 2 years and learning
Turkish language. I worked at Cal State University of Monterey for 3 or 4 years
through the Monterey Youth Program.



Last summer, I worked at the CSUMB's Watershed
as an Intern for Return of the Natives. I got to learn about California's native plants and non-natives like weeds. I went whale watching in Moss Landing
on a Catamaran named Princess of Whales. Their Motto: Whales are for lookin' not for cookin'. I got to see the sails of the sea those things floating
in the water, one dolphin was right by the boat that I noticed, a humpback whale
with her calf, group of dolphins, two blue whales, an another humpback whale breeched
(jumped) 5 times and they have two blow holes and a third humpback whale. Field
trips: Ano Nuevo, I got to see the Elephant Seals, Andrew Molera, Waste Management
place by Marina, worked at Nativadad Creek Park in Salinas, and Bureau of Land
Management of Ft. Ord. Now I've crossed-enrolled into a class called
Tech Tools its CST101 into CSUMB's campus and taking classes at MPC: ENG302
CSIS75, LNSK I don't remember the number, and ENG351 which is the Lindamood
Program.

My interests are: Hiking in the woods, I dream to travel
around the world. Geography and study the maps, traveling, bowling, shoot pool,
walk at the beach, explore wildlife, collect coins and foreign stamps, collect post
cards, go horseback riding, take photography, work, fix and open up computers.




My father is an artist. He makes bronze sculptures. You can
see his artwork at www.kirkmcguire.com and more in his art gallery site you will
click at the links. On July 5, I became an Uncle to a new born nephew at 7:30am
in the morning. I was so anxious to see him and slept half the time at the hospital
down in San Diego. My sister lives in Encitnitas close to San Diego and named the
baby Diego ha-ha. He is a really cute baby. My brother-in-law is a musician who
plays the bass in his band and creates his own music. When I finish with a degree
in College, my parents are going to retire to their 15 acre full of woods and pond
to fish in Grizzly Flats. We go there every weekend as our vacation home and everyday
are pet deer my mother named her Bambie we get to pet which is so cool.





I have a girlfriend who lives in Istanbul, Turkey. I have met
her over on the internet since two years. She is 18 years old and going to be 19
on November 7. Right now she studies really hard at a private high school at Bahcesehir
University and graduated there. It is a sister school to La Costa Canyon High School
down in San Diego. Now she is enrolling into Istanbul University which her father
is a Environmentalist Prof. Instructor there, works at Oktek, a wastewater
treatment plant and looks like she is following her father's footsteps
. Her mother is a skin doctor who she sells her dermatology products at Oktek. My girlfriend wants to major in bio-chemistry. We have been sending gifts
to each other, postal mail, sometimes we talk on the phone, e-mail and mostly we
chat to each other over on Yahoo Messenger. I wish her good luck to major and come
to the states. I love Nilay so much. On August 2, I went to the Turkish Festival
in Monterey by the Maritime Museum and got some taste of the culture. I really
had a great time there.


I like to read books at the library or at school. Mostly I read
at school. My favorite books I read are: "The Pearl" by, John Steinbeck, "The Giver
" by, Louis Lowry, "I know why the Caged Bird Sings" by, Maya Angelou,
Old Man and The Sea by, Hernest Hemingway, The Crucible
, Red Badge of Courage, and The Human Comedy
by, William Saroyan at English 322 class with Paula Gibert last semester in
the Spring. I forget the title of this story about a man goes back home to London
from France on horsecar who owns a bank. It was about the French Revolution it’s
called, A Tale of Two Cities. I purchased a magazine during
Turkish Festival which interests me to read called, Turkuaz, Turkish-American
Community Guide magazine.

I liked World History class in High School and I would read
about so many fascinating subjects that happened in names of ages in history. In
5th grade I read a book called, "Sarah Plain and Tall" by, Patricia MacLachlan .
It was a good book. But at the end of the story, the writing was in cursive. I could
not understand it but, I tried. It really amazed me when I finished reading the
last page. I got to watch all of the movies too part of the stories.

In middle school, I read a story about a famous woman in Chicago
who used to work in a candy factory back in those days and eat ice cubes during
the summer. But, I forget what her name is. She had to do with something about
women's rights or, taking care of infants and children (babysit) or (daycare)

Second of all, I'm learning English to improve my reading and
writing. Because I get shy, I'm trying and forcing to communicate to new people
. I hope I will succeed in school with my goals of getting well grades but, it takes
time to take some steps and once you are on top of the world you have success like
how the cartoon Pinky and the Brain are those two laboratory mice are trying to
take over the world...

Music Invention

James McGuire
English 322
Section #567


I think the invention that has made a real change
in people's lives is the phonograph. It has helped
people to record music and helped the economy. The
phonography this allowed them to make contracts with
record companies and fame and fortune in newspapers.
Music became so advanced that musicians could make
different kinds of recordings and new music that never
even existed. February 19, 2003's part of history,
Thomas Edison patented the phonograph.
Because this music invention made a real change
in people's lives, it started to revolutionize how to
record are voice over a machine. Now telephones are
made and they record a person talking over on the
other line like a microphone and wearing earphones to
hear the person on the other line. This change
occurred before my lifetime. In the past music
recordings were on vinal records, military uses the
morse code (an another form of speech) the radio and
using records in the 1920's till 50's. In the 1960's
and 70's music was recorded through a tape and then
recorded to a record.
Suddenly, people started using eight track tapes
in their veichles and then cassette tapes arrived as
disco fever began. Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll, British
Rock, Pop, Classical music started before those
periods of history. Today in the present future my
brother-in-law records his music onto the computer and
edits the sounds with a program he's been using. You
can make electronica music with a different similar
program which makes a lot of techno beats without
vocals. People consider is the music even with no
vocals.
Millions of people download MP3's to get music
today instead of buying it in the market. But, the
artists loose some of their profit from their music
and their record company as well. My brother-in-law is
a bass musician and he's trying to get a record deal
with a dude from the band called O-town. He has a
monkey I heard. I hope my brother's deal succeeds.
Lastly, people record music on a black Compact Disc
(CD) or DVD's to make their own movies.

Disability? Maybe?

English 322 Section #567

I want to tell you that I'm in the Lindamood program
with Gaely helping me with me visual, auditory and
language skills in English 351 and/or 352. It's a very
good program to improve your dendrities more better.
I've been learning dendritites in Ms. Gilbert's class.
They are your brain cells :) In my own words, dyslexia
isn't a disease but it is part of family history in my
genes. I may have some disabilities in always
listening to the teacher but, some people may distract
me becase, they talk or I hear a noise from the door.
It's a disability when one of my visual, spelling,
reading, speech or language and hearing skills lacks
out because, people can miss out learning how to do
these things or they could have problems. Dyslexia
could be when your brain can't do this function, does
this incorrectly and couldn't memorize everything but
do it slowly step-by-step so you can understand the
information. Otherwise, your brain cells functions not
so well and strong in one of these disabilities people
often could have that could be dyslexia.

Cheating in Schools

James McGuire
March 6, 2003
English 322 Section #567


I find out that cheating doesn’t get me nowhere
in life. Because, it won’t learn me anything. I have
to find the information on my own without any help and
preview the paragraph to find the answer. Then, I will
learn what it is all about. In High School if the
teachers caught you cheating, they would take your
paper away and throw it in the trash. Testing becomes
pretty hard to memorize amass of information compact
into my brain then it becomes confusing to get the
right answer out because you think a lot about which
one is it or you would daydream about something else.
I hate it in exams when you lost the memory to the
answers. When people are talking, teachers teach you
more after they take the test. I wish it would be more
better if the instructors let you study for some more
time in class for exams and maybe I would get a better
grade. When students are cheating they would write in
the back of people’s chairs, hide answers and then it
would appear like magic, whisper to each other and
from the story, “Lets Put the Heat on Campus Cheats,”
they would use a cell phone. Students do this because,
they want to get a better grade like a 4.0 grade point
average, they want to graduate out of school more
quickly and have a better pay job in the future. I
don’t think it is worth it to cheat because you can
get into trouble and instructors may lower your
grades. People tell you the right answer and it can
could be the wrong answer. I hate it when people copy
your homework when students haven‘t done their work it
really wastes my working time when they don’t return
your paper back to you because, they will backstab you
many times. You may get into detention, suspension and
into plagiarism. Many others go to websites which
offer already made essays on many different topics
ranging to anthropology to zoology some of them are
free sites and other websites you have to pay money
for expensive fees.
