Food is something we all like. Not only do we want to eat food we want to eat the best food there is. Many people try to travel to top rated restaurants. There are so many out their it is hard to say which one is the best. I watched a show this weekend where they went and looked at restaurants to see which ones had the best burger, pizza, steak, taco, wings, and ribs. Most are family owned restaurants which only have one location, which makes sense because it is hard to control quality when you have more then one chef that would cook differently than another.
One thing about finding the perfect restaurant is a personal preference. One person may like a medium rare hamburger and another person may like a hamburger well done. Different places like to eat the same food but in a different kind of way. Like most of us would prefer a pepperoni pizza and some restaurant in another state would not but any topping like you could get from Pizza Hut and Dominoes. Another thing is the type of food you like to eat. Some people may like to eat a slab of ribs where as another person would rather have a nice big steak.
A thing that makes a restaurant great is its menu. When you go to a restaurant you do not have the ability to pick the type of food you want. Most restaurants serve one style of food, one serves Mexican food another serves Italian food. However most restaurants will have a couple of American food, like chicken fingers, for kids that may not like to eat that type of food. Restaurants usually do this because it is to hard to serve both Italian and Mexican food, it is a lot of money to buy ingredients for both which is why they usually pick one or the other.
It may not be the food that makes people like a restaurant, but its decorations and environment. What makes a restaurant good is the decorations it has. When you go to a restaurant you do not like to be in a plane room even if it is a McDonald’s. when you go to a Chinese restaurant the decorations make you fill like you are in China. When you eat at the rainforest café it makes you fill like you are in the rainforest. A lot of people like certain atmospheres. Some people hate fancy restaurants were you can not even have a conversation. Most people like to eat and have a conversation.
There are many good restaurants. There are those few that are really bad. And those that are really good and you want to eat every meal their. There are many things that make a restaurant great. How great the food is. What the actual restaurant looks like. Of course one thing is the service of the employees. But you can not judge the best because there are so many and a lot are opening for the first time and every one has a different definition of a good restaurant.

why I want my own computer
Lately I have thought that I would like my own computer. Of course right now I do not have the money to buy one. I will probably not be able to afford one until I get a job. Right now a good laptop costs a good thousand dollars. Even when I do get a job I will still have to save money for a couple of months before I could buy one. I have plenty of good reasons to buy one. You do not just go and buy a computer you have to decide what kind of features you want and suits your needs.
First you have to decide if you want a desk top computer or if you want a laptop. Desktop computers are more expensive but can hold more information. When you buy a desktop computer you can mix things around. If you like logitech’s mouses and keyboards but you like acer’s monitor you can make it so you have what you want. You also have to decide if you want a tower computer or if you want a computer that the monitor sits on top of. One disadvantage to a desk top computer is that it is not as portable as a laptop.
Everybody likes laptops if they like things to be portable. With a laptop though every thing is made by the same company. Another disadvantage is you do not have a printer unless you hook it up to one. Besides all that you can do pretty cool things with a laptop. Normally with a laptop you have to plug it into the phone line for the internet. If you have a wireless network you can connect your laptop using a wireless network card. Through that you can send documents from your laptop to your desktop computer to print.
They both have their disadvantage and advantages. If I were to buy a desktop computer it would not be from a normal store like walmart. I would go to a computer place called prime systems. I would want windows vista on it. Then I like to have a wireless mouse and keyboard. I do not care much for speakers I only use them when I play a computer game. Then for a printer you have to go along with something that prints, copies, and scans combined into one.
Then for a laptop I would have to go with an HP because it is a good computer and I really do not like dell of sony computers. Once again I would want windows vista. And if you’re a person like me who hates to use the touch mouse you do something like this. When you use it at home you keep it on a desk and keep it plugged in and you hook up a mouse to it. It is sort of like a desk top computer but you still have the portability. I would also like it to have a wireless card so I could get on the internet. I would have my own if I had the money.

Places I want to see
There are a lot of places I want to go and things I want to see. There is a lot I want to see in the US but if I could see every thing I want to out side of the US there would be a lot more on that list. I will start with the things in the US.
I would like to go to Massachusetts and see boston. I would want to go and see the old north church tower. Another place I want to go to is New York City tp see the statue of liberty and the empire state building. I think a cool place to go would be Florida. You could spend time in Orlando and go to Disney world and then you could see the Kennedy space center. Then you could spend some time in Miami and lay on the beach. I would also enjoy going to Hawaii. It would be cool to play on the beach. I would also like to see Honolulu and other sites on the Islands like the waterfalls.
But by far the best place to go would be Washington DC. This is not a trip that you can cram into three days you have to spend a good week there. There are all the Monuments you can see. Then all the federal buildings, like the white house and capital hill. Then you can see the declaration of independence and the constitution.
There are also places outside of the united states that I want to see. One of them would have to be Paris. Paris is like Washington DC there are all the things like the Eiffel tower that are similar to the monuments. Then there are places like London that I would also like to see. One thing I would like to see in Asia is the great wall of china and Mt. Everest, not actually climb it though. I would also like see the ancient wonders of the world, well even though only one has survived the sands of time ant that is the great pyramid of Gaza.
Then there are places I have been that I wanted to see and I have. I have been to Las Vegas which was fun. I like to stay at Hotels on the strip because each hotel has a little theme like the Paris lobby looks like you are on the streets of Paris and the rooms are decorated like rooms in Paris hotels. I have also been to San Francisco. It’s a cool place there are the skyscrapers, pear 49, and the golden gate bridge. Then just north of it is a red wood forest and they have a cross section of a tree that fell down. They have marked it with a white paint that shows when the earthquake in San Francisco was and things like the world wars, and when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. There are a lot of places I want to see before I die and I probably will not be able to do until I have retired.

Super Bowl Sunday
Today is super bowl Sunday. The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants. As you can see that I am rooting for the patriots to win. If New England wins they will be the second team in the NFL to have a perfect season and the first team to go 19-0. It is very exciting day and Every one is waiting for the kick off which is just a few moments away. This is one of the biggest sporting events in the America. Ticket prices are so expensive that the cheapest ticket is over 600 dollars.
Lets start with super bowl wins and records. The steelers have most super bowl wins (6). The Vikings, Broncos, and Bills are the teams with the most super bowl losses (4). 26 teams have been to the super bowl. The 49ers have won 5 super bowls and have lost none. The cowboys have been to the most super bowls (7). The only teams to win super bowls back to back are Packers, Dolphins, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Broncos, Patriots. The teams that have never been to a super bowl are the Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Saints, and Cardinals. Only 17 of the 32 teams have won the super bowl.
They also keep records for just the super bowl game it’s self. The longest field goal is held by Steve Christie who played for Green bay in super bowl 2 (54 yards). Longest run from scrimmage is Marcus Allen who played for the raiders in super bowl 18 (74 yards). The record for longest pass completion is held by Brett Farve ( to Antonio Freeman) was 81 yards in super bowl 31. Steve Young who played for the 49ers has the record of most touchdown passes (6). Reggie White holds the record of most sacks in one game (3).
Now I am going to tell you about some super bowl moments. Joe Namath who was the quarter back for the jets in super bowl 3 said his team would up set the highly favored colts and they beat the colts 16-7. John Elway lost three super bowls than won two back to back. Who could forget super bowl 34's last play the titans are a touchdown a way from wining the game, they are on the one yard line and time is about to expire. They and it off to running back Kevin Dyson who ran it and was tackled inches before the touchdown right as time expired on the clock and the titans lost. It was kind of like the ending to the movie Friday night lights.
Their one thing people look forward to about the super bowl, Commercials. The commercials that play during the super bowl are some of the funniest. I look forward to watching them this year. And with any station you have to pay money to air a commercial. This year it costs 2.7 million dollars for a 30 sec. slot during the super bowl. This year will be a very good game.
