Ladies and Gents! The greatest blog in the entire universe was born today. If you are reading this extravagant, rampant blog, it is your greatest privilege. I’ve always wanted to start a blog before, just about any old random stuff, but I never had the time, and I was always too lazy to create one. Well, now I don’t really have an option, seeing that it’s a school project.
My name is Henry Friedman, and I live in the murder capital of the world: Caracas, Venezuela. No I’m just kidding! I actually live in Zurich. I hate it here so much. The people are so boring and there is nothing to do. People from around the world say that Zurich is paradise, but in fact it’s not! It’s torture living here. And besides there not being anything to do here, all the women are fat and dumpy looking. I wish I lived in Caracas. I once read online that in Caracas there is the best food and the most beautiful women in the world. Gee, I wish I lived there. I wouldn’t care if I got shot by a stray bullet, because I’d be living my life to the fullest. I would stay young there all my life, as opposed to living in Switzerland and growing old with punctuality and rules. The Swiss and their stupid fancy watches. I hate the Swiss! It’s the truth. The day I’m eighteen, I’ll pack my bags and go straight to South America. Can’t wait for that day to come!
I’m fourteen years old. I was born in England, but I moved to Zurich when I was eight. My father decided to start a hardware store in Switzerland, don’t ask me why a hardware store because I don’t know why. It’s become the biggest hardware store chain in all Switzerland. He is thinking of expanding into Austria. That only means that my mother and I will have to go with him. Austria would be nice. An easy, passive change from Switzerland. Then again Austria is just as bureaucratic and correct as Switzerland. I am a skinny boy, about 160cm and I weigh about 39 kilos. My eyes are a teal blue color, but occasionally they will become a lighter blue color.
I am pretty sure that my favorite class is Lunch. Most people would disagree with me when I say lunch is a class, but actually the people that disagree with me are wrong. Lunch is the most important class of the whole day. What do we learn? How to socialize! The most important skill you will ever learn in school is the art of making friends. I know in my case, that making friends is the most important thing I’ve learned how to do in school.
I don’t play that much sport during the week. I will probably play tennis 3 times a week and maybe once a week I’ll swim a kilometer. I plan to join a swimming team this year. My biggest interests are airplanes. I want to be a pilot as an adult. I love the feeling of flying. I feel so incredibly free when I’m up in the air. Another thing that makes me really happy is when I am with my grandparents. They spoil me so much, and I love it. It’s my favorite!!
I want to end my first blog post by telling you guys what I most hate. Some people think it’s really funny, but I hate it. I hate how my older brother always makes my sister and I look bad. He is the most hardworking person I know, and I always feel like my mother is comparing me to him. Someday, after I start my own airline and have made my own fortune in aviation, I am going to tell him that I hated him for making me look bad and that now the tables have turned. Well blog time is over. Make it a good one folks.
