Word #1
Word Count: 107
My Word: ramshackle
Source: “Nearly Witches” by Panic at the Disco
How it was used:
Here I am,
Composing of burlesque,
Out of where they rest their heads,
Sulking in their splintered cradles,
And ramshackle hands
All definitions and part of speech: adj; loosely made or held together, rickety, shaky, so poorly constructed that disintegration is likely, falling to pieces, out of repair.
My Sentence: Before I went off to college I spent one more night in the ramshackle tree house my father built when I was but three feet tall; I was not sure if I’d make it to dawn without breaking the disintegrating wooden floor.

An Intro to Me
I am Justin Riray, a JMC student in my 3rd year of college, 2nd semester here are SJSU. I am mostly Filipino, with a hint of Chinese and Spanish blood; however, if you mix Chinese and Spanish it just looks Filipino... so I look full Filipino. I am 5'11 and weigh in at a staggering 152 lbs. I am 2-0 in schoolyard fights and am the self-proclaimed best non-fighting fighter in the United States. Just Kidding.
I am a tall, dark, and handsome glass of man who enjoys long walks on the treadmill, candlelit brunches, and writing songs about people's birthmarks. I believe the way to make someone fall in love with you is learning how to order their favorite custom cake from Safeway. Just kidding again!
STOP HERE: read on if you care about who I really am, if not, here's a couple random fun facts before you go: I was the only Asian kid to make it past the first four cuts of my high school basketball team, but I got cut during the final cut. Sad. I was a Pokemon Card gym leader at three locations and used to make around $100 a day selling the cards to other students when I was in 6th grade; until I got Pokemon cards banned from my school because parents complained their kids used their lunch money to buy my cards. I tried out for American Idol this year and did not make it to Hollywood--but I did wink at the three lady judges and made them all blush. My metabolism is faster than the speed of light which is why even if I eat four meals a day and drink a protein shake four times a week, while working out three times a week, I have only gained fifteen pounds in the past two years. Okay, if you want, you can go now. =C
Honestly, I grew up in Pittsburg, California, a big, small town in the east bay. I attended Peter Pan Preschool in Oakland at the age of four. I went to St. Peter Martyr school in Pittsburg from kindergarten to 8th grade. I spent my four years of growing up at De La Salle High School in Concord. Diablo Valley college hosted my four semesters of G.E.D.s and I transferred to San Jose State in fall of 2008.
I have worked at the cafeteria of my high school for a year, at Diablo Lanes bowling center in Concord for two years, and have had seasonal jobs at Aeropostale and Elephant Bar. Currently, I am getting paid to do almost nothing as an interviewer recruiter hybrid for a market research company at the Oakridge mall in North San Jose.
I have always loved to play basketball and videogames. I have always liked creative writing. I used to compose music back in high school, now I only do occasionally. I can play basic drums, guitar, piano, and bass. I sing for my own leisure, though I am not good at all.
I previously lived with my dad, mom, little sister, and grandma in Pittsburg. Since college began, I live in San Jose off of Blossom Hill and Snell with a couple roommates I know from my hometown. I've been dating my beautiful girlfriend for two and a half years and still going well.
To learn about my personality and life during high school, feel free to check my adolescence, to learn about my college life, talk to me when you see me, to view a fraction of my creative outlet check out my life through video clips. Enjoy! Subscribe to my youtube account! It's the remedy to boredom!

First week of 100w
Good week to you all,
I am blogging from my class, during class. We just had our first pop current events quiz, my very first test of the semester and I got a 5 out of 10. Ouch. I missed questions such as, who is the president of SJSU or and what was the lead story in the Mercury news today. I feel the doom of this semester, already, in the first week of classes. Help me! Nichols is a cool teacher, I just gotta get used to the class... oh yea; I forgot to tell you, we have to get published before the end of the semester in order to pass. Great.
