Scholastic Book Fair


Man oh man the memories of being a child. things will trigger your brain, and poof you start thinkin about the good old days.
I remember one thing about school...the scholastic book fair. Today I saw the book fair go on at TLC, and it instantly brought me back to 1-6th grade. I wanted to buy everything. I don't even know why i just wanted everything. When i was in grade school it was never about the books. It was always about the erasers, or the book marks. I remember bring mass amount of quarters to school to get erasers. you might ask why did you need erasers christian. I answer with...read my last blogs and look at my grammer, and you decide why i needed so many erasers. Now the real question is bookmarks...why did i need book marks. this is something that i am pondering to this day. I would always get the bookmarks with the inspirational messages on them like..."go get em" or "you're not good enough, and you'll never better." I really was inspired in those days. There is really no point to this post rather that to bring well deserved recognition to erasers and bookmarks because without them, I am nothing.
P.S. i just watched a trailer for blindness, and it looks awesome.

They had a boomark that said, "You're Not Good Enough, and You'll Never Better"?

That doesn't even make sense. What a terrible book fair

If I found a bookmark that said, "You're Not Good Enough, and You'll Never (Be) Better," I would buy it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't care how much it cost.

By the way, "read my last blogs and look at my grammer, and you decide why i needed so many erasers" is unequivocally the funniest sentence in From Youth 2 Truth's brief history.

Blindness: It looks pretty interesting, although I'm starting to get a little sick of these "unnamed disease that infects every member of civilization except for the protagonist" storylines. Plus, the title is awful. How was that decided, anyway?

Don McKellar: "Alright, the screenplay's done. We found a distributor, casted some good actors, now all we need is a title."

Efren (Don McKellar's youngest son who unfortunately has down-syndrome... and yes, Efren is used for a reason): "What's the story about, Dad?"

DM: "It's about a mysterious disease that renders a community blind except for one person."

Efren: "So, it's a movie about blindess?"

DM: "Yeah, sort of."

Efren: "Call it that."

DM: "What?"

Efren: "Blindness."

DM: "Call the movie 'Blindness'?"

Efren: "Yeah, why not."

DM: "Isn't that a little bland and unimaginative?"

Efren: "No."

DM: "Alright."

So, after re-reading that last post I probably took that joke a lot further than I should have, and for that I apologize.

I'm just trying to put off writing my paper for as long as possible.

I went for the books, and always bought bookmarks. Then I would promptly lose them. I don't know why I bought them at all because I like to bend the corner of the page rather than use a bookmark anyway.

PS. I loved the inspirations quote examples.

I too would buy mass quantities of erasers, preferably the ones made by Yikes. Oh and pencil holders.
