Dingers

This post is about dingers. Dingers are when you hit a baseball and get a home run. I think dingers are awesome to hit. I used to hit them all the time when i played baseball. My friend Dustin almost hit 2 dingers at his baseball game. But they hit the fence and stopped. I got the word dinger from a youtuber named Kent Murphy. He makes videos on baseball he is funny. He is not serious about it though. Thats what i have to say about dingers.

Dear Mrs. Debolt, 
    

     I like to ride 4wheelers all the time. My favorite color is purple. My favorite movie is Waterboy it is funny. My favorite hobbie is diving RC cars. My family is boring and lame.

     I was riding on the back of a fourwheeler with Jacob Maness driving. and he is a good driver. But he tryed to turn tofast and my leg got caught by the wheel and threw me off. I got up and said lets do it again.

     I have a lot of experince with computers. I like to mess with the codes on a computer. I would like to learn more about how to code.





                                                                                                        Your Friend,
                                                                                                           Austin Dixon

Do Video Games Make Kids More Violent?

Yes video games make kids more violent because they think its ok to do what they see in the game then they go and repeat what they see. So there for video games do make kids more violent. Like the game G T A  V its pretty much telling kids that everything they do in the game is ok to do in real life. but its not only there fault the game is for people that are 17 and older but parents let there kids play it anyways. So in result we will have a lot of bad kids when there older.
