is this a good start?

is this a good beginning of a book I am writing?

"Oliver, time to get ready for school." I got up with my eyes closed and fell off. I opened them and the calendar was right infront of my noise. I looked at the picture of a poodle. My dream has always been having a poodle since I was five. Now I am twelve going into seventh grade. Everytime I ask my dad and mom they say no. They think that dogs are smelly and bark to much. Once I used a spell to make a dust bunny into a poodle, but it turned into a bunny. My dad took the gun and shot it. They don’t like anything that has fur. When I was born I was almost got shot. Luckly my grandma was there to save my life. Shes the only one that says I can get a Poodle.
"Oliver, if you aren’t down here in one minute, I am going to take away your wand." I looked at the date finally and noticed that it was the first day of school. I though the calendar at my closet. I got up and went down for breakfast.
"Good morning Oliver." My mom greated me with a plate of pancaks. I growled at her.
"Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." My granda good mornings are allways a quote. I got up and ran to get a hug from her.
"Hi grandma."She stopped and pointed to my food. I went and sat down and she sat infront of me. My grandma is my favorite person in the world.
"Can I have some food please."
"Yes ma." My mom gave her some pancakes.
"So Oliver, are you exicited?" No, school stinks here in Terry Montana.
"Yes I am, can’t wait." I tried to make it sound confessining, but grandma wasn’t buying it.
"Here come with me." We went in her room and we went in her closet. Her closet is a room. There is a bench on both sides and her walls are mirors. It’s just like her own store. It has isles and some tags are still on some clothes. She drew a pitchure of it and I used my magic to make it what she wants. Since I don’t have a closet I store my stuff in here. I just take up a corner.
"Pick what you want." i ran up and down the isles looking, but I didn’t find anything. I sat on a bench and looke down this one isle. Grandma walked down the isle with a brown jacket with a pink shirt that had a peace sign on it. I picked it up and got my wand out.
" Too big, too small, make it be the correct size." It shrunk and I put it on. I put my wand on the chair.
"Thank you grandma. hey can I just wear checkered pants?"
‘Do what you want." I went in my corner and got out a pink and brown checkered pants thatmatched and put it on. i ran to my grandma and gave her the biggest hug. She is a life saver. I went in the bath room and brushed my teeth. I spit and it went on the counter.
"Man, now I have to clean that up again." I got my wand out and pointed it to my spit on the counter.
"Clean up the mess and make it sparkle." I put my blonde hair up in half up and half down hairdo. I went in the kitchen where grandma was making my lunch.
"Thanks grandma, but I was thinking about buying today." She nodded.
"This is for me you silly you can get what you want at school." She handed me my backbag and shoved me out of the house. I ran to the bus stop. When I got there my best friend susan was there and hugged me.She has duty brown hair. I couldn’t breathe.
"Okay can’t breathe. She let go and held me to take a look.
"I didn’t know you had that shirt or that jacket.. Oh." She knows that I am a wizard. I told her the first day of third grade and took me for advantege. she made me make her lunch, give her free outfits, and so many things. Then I stood up for myself and now she doesn’t. We have been best friends since first grade when she she moved here from Chicago. Grandma sometimes forgets that we aren’t sisters, so she says go get your twin or why spend the night when we live with each other. We always laugh. We have so much history. Once we were at the north pole playing tennis with two penguns that were twins. There names were Garret and Cody. They were so funny. We had a snowball fight with the penguins and susan though a fish on acident and it gave poor garret a black eye.
We were putting our stuff in our lockers. She has one right next to me. I got my wand out and looked around. there was no one here so I pointed it at my locker.
"Too big, too small, make it be the corrct size. " It grown and made it into a room. I went in and waited for Susan to follow, but she just stood there staring. It had a desk and four bean bags.
"Susan, want to share?" She nodded and she put her stuff in a shelf. I put my stuff in an empty shelf. We got out and sat on a empty chair. I looked at my cell phone and I got five text messages from grandma.
I love you.
Good luck!
Text me when you got your locker.
Hows Susan?
No magic. Opps, I already used it. being a wizard is awsome, but it gets it downs. I replied her.
Opps, she’s good, love you allways. I went to my locker and though my cell phone in. I sat next to Susan, and she pointed over my shoulder. I turned a
her parents are crazy and they thought she was a boy at first so they named her oliver.

The ever exciting Trade Deadline is approaching, please post ideas for trades?

Here’s my suggestions:

Spurs send Richard Jefferson to the Magic for Mickael Pietrus and J.J. Redick.
-The Spurs get rid of a player who turned out to not fit in as well as expected, for one player in Pietrus who can start at the SF and bring a much greater impact on the defensive end as a stopper and greater 3PT shooting than Jefferson, and gain an SG with newfound toughness and defensive skill in Redick who can also shoot the 3 to start at the SG and rotate time with Finley when he gets back as a starter before Ginobili comes off the bench.

Rockets send Tracy McGrady to the Magic for Brandon Bass & Adonle Foyle.
-The Rockets get rid of a player they are shopping in McGrady, gain a very skilled PF that fits in well with Houston with his toughness, hustle, and vast array of skills to rotate time with Luis Scola and gain another tough C to add to their depth, the Magic lose a player they gave absolutely no playing time to, and gain another SG-SF with the potential to be an extremely valuable Manu Ginobili-esque player off the bench at little risk seeing as how his contract ends after this year.

Warriors send Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf, & Corey Maggette to the Hornets for David West & Peja Stojackovic.
-The Warriors gain a skilled, inside-outside All-Star PF in David West to make up for Randolph and Turiaf’s absence and another skilled 3PT shooter in Stojackovic while the Hornets gain a young, dynamic, and very skilled player in Randolph who complements CP3 well with his athleticism, gain a much needed skilled backup C in Turiaf who can play defense and shoot the mid-range as well with toughness, and gain a much needed SF in Maggette who’s playing style complements CP3 as well.

Pacers send T.J. Ford to the Bulls for Lindsey Hunter & Jerome James.
-The Pacers lose a PG they want to trade desperately for whatever reason and gain some depth, and the Bulls gain the backup PG that they really need in the current event of Jannero Pargo’s disappointing play.

Cavaliers send Zydrunas Illgauskas & Anthony Parker to the Knicks for Al Harrington.
-The Cavaliers finally get the stretch 4 that they couldn’t find over the summer that they really need to contend with the elites in the playoffs, and the Knicks get a player in Parker who’s similar to successful players like Raja Bell in D’Antoni’s system and a expiring contract for the summer of 010.

Blazers send Andre Miller to the Raptors for Hedo Turkoglu.
-The Blazers gain they player they originally were trying hard to get over the summer for his playmaking, low post, and scoring abilities. This’ll be a gamble on Toronto’s part, but the fact is that the Raps have been playing better without Calderon for a reason, and Miller, being a much different PG, may be the answer to making them much better at the PG.

Wizards send Caron Butler to the Hornets for Peja Stojackovic & Devin Brown.
-The Hornets get rid of a big contract in Peja and a subpar player in Brown, and gain skill at the SF that they desperately need.

What are your ideas?

Can someone explain to me what the hell the orlando Magic are doing?

now that they acquired VC, they most likely wont be able to re-sign Turkoglu. They also lost a young stud in Courtney lee and Rafer Alston.

Last year, their success was based on ball movement. VC does not fit that playing style. he needs to dominate the ball to be successful. Courtney Lee and Turkoglu fit perfectly in the Magic’s system. Neither of them need to dominate the ball to be effective.

This trade made the Magic much weaker in my opinion. Their already thin bench is now even thinner.

wtf were they thinking?
@ noe23: wow you are a dumb@ss… they didn’t need someone to "take over in crunch time" Turkoglu is one of the best clutch players in the NBA and he can create his own shot!
