Being funny! How do you know when you’re being funny but not obnoxious? Well I know the answer to that people act unpleased with obnoxious jokes and love funny jokes. Sometimes I wonder to myself am I obnoxious or just downright funny?

All my friends believe I’m funny and my friends are funny people to so If they believe I’m funny that has got to mean something!

This is the Story of how my Grandfather Charlie Jones, came to Missouri and met my Grandmother which in turn started my family. My grandfather Charlie Jones was born in small town Kentucky he never met his father nor knew him, so when he was born his grandfather John Jones signed off as his father because back then if you were a bastard child people treated you less kindly. By the time my Grandfather was 12 his mother stopped taking care of him and put him in foster care where they changed his name to Billy Helmns, they treated him unfairly though and at age 16 he ran away to Kentucky where he worked for a farmer and as soon as he got enough money he moved to St.Joseph Missouri. There he settled down started a trash hauling company, he got married to my grandmother at age 45 and had 12 children with her. The irony in this story is my mothers name is Billie and she never knew why but when I asked him why he named her that we found out that it was his name when he was younger.

SPORTS: WITH SMITH DEAD HOW WILL KNICKS SURVIVE:

In a sad article I must be honest with Smith gone the Knicks are done. This may sound harsh but Smith was the Knicks without him they don’t stand a chance in the playoffs. The New York Knicks might have put together the best seasons in playoff history but without Smith they will not get out of the first round of the playoffs.- Dean Deacon Gotham Sports

Campaign Speech:

America I will be the best President in you’re great country has had in a long while, If you put you trust into me and in my systems the U.S.A. will thrive and the republicans and Democrats would be made hard pressed to work together better to solve problems within the U.S. I am an Independent party member which helps me use a great balance between Liberal And Conservative beliefs. Look at the unemployment and immorality within the country sending messages to our youngsters that abortion is a acceptable option, and sending soldiers over to war to sacrifice they’re lives for there country and they’re home to fight a war not worth fighting. No the U.S. must have change, change that is just and fair and non-biased we need to change our mentalities that citizens believe strongly conservative or strongly democrat that isn’t right we should open our minds to what WE believe and not what these political parties want us to believe. Vote for me and vote for change, vote for what you believe because I know for a fact no one deep down believes everything they’re party says so don’t be afraid to express your’e beliefs if you don’t you lose the freedom of speech indirectly. My Name Is Skylar Smith a 56 year old U.S. citizen who cares deeply for my country and has had experience in government through a mayor position in St.Joseph Missouri for the last 8 years.
