Hat Game

One day two of my friends and I made up a game called "Hat Game." Only a handful of people know how to play and better yet win. However I will not tell you the secret of how to win. You have to figure that one out on your own.



One day at Pat's house we were bored of swimming in his pool. So we decided to make up a game that would be more fun than swimming in his pool for 15 days straight. But, we had some trouble brainstorming some ideas because if you have ever done this, you would know that thinking of a game is hard work. So Sam, the other guy we were with took my hat and we started playing frisbee with it. So id your wondering why we just didn't go outside and play frisbee wtih an actual frisbee, Pat just bought the house we were at but hadn't moved all of the stuff in yet.



So we were in a room and decided to make the game like an actual game. One person stands down at one side of the, roughly, 15 by 25 foot room while the other person stands at the other end. The "King" starts with the hat and throws it to the other person. However the other person needs to catch it or he/she is out. You can throw the hat at different speeds and different ways in order to make the other person drop the hat.

I guess it's not really that exciting but it passed the time for the 2 years we thought it was a cool game.

Hi, I'm Dave and these are my Writing Territories

I like to read stories. Lately I have been reading Vince Flynn books. He writes action/mystery stuff. He writes about the CIA and how this assassin goes around and finds information about terrorist groups. I also like reading sports stories; Biographies and autobiographies and stories about players and their life before and during and even after their career.

I also love the magazine Sports Illustrated.

I usually just write for school. But when given the opportunity I like to write short stories and mysteries. When I was a kid a loved reading the Hardy Boys and like writing stories like their adventures.

One of the writing territories I love is the food section. I love to eat. I will eat almost everything except I am a very picky eater. I hate mushrooms and mustard. My favorite homemade baked thing is my mom's chocolate cake. She makes the best frosting and the fluffiest cake. She also puts sprinkles on top of the frosting. My favorite restaurant is probably Champps of Scoreboard. I usually get the chicken Chimichanga at Scoreboard and a burger at Champps. I will also get a dessert at Champps. Last night I got the triple strawberry cake. It isn't as good as my mom's but it was delicious. My favorite healthy thing to eat would have to be strawberries or bananas. I love fruit and always have to right amount of servings each day.
