Some thing that was writen to me

It's ten 23

and i can't wait to be

just you and me

when we're together

things seem so much better

and it's easier to just be

when i'm in your arms

i feel safe from all harm

all nice and snuggley

but we're both at school

'cuz it's the rule

whether or not we want it to be

so we'll just hang tight

until the time is right

and we together we can be

just you and me

Ishmael Beah

What an interesting man in both his book and in the flesh. Last night, I went to see him talk about his book(mostly because it was required) and he was an impressive speaker. He was one of the best I've heard and the people that introduced him just made him look better. In a way I think he wanted us to read his book and take from it something. We should take that thing, anything, and make it as big as we can. Ideas are made real not from just having a good one ,but insted from force of will. Remember that.

P.S. listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhm94a-8SE

Joan of Arc

Think on this every one. Joan of Arc is a saint, drectily responable for a King's coronation, and set in motion the end of the 100 years war. She did this all before she was nineteen. What have most of us done? We're mostly eighteen going on nineteen and how far along are we? However, don't feel like you have to of made a difference soon. Just do what you can for now and one day you might find yourself doing something bigger then you ever imaged.

Grandma's pies

As I walk outside
The sunlight floods my eyes
The birds are chirping
I can smell my grandma's pies
Those smell so good!
No,wait they are lies
She's no longer baking
Because everyone dies

Story Time

English class calls and I must answer with this post!

Though we had been talking for about a month, my future girlfriend and I had never gone on a date. I'm a shy guy when it comes to women, so asking Alyson to a movie took a huge amount of effort and self pep talks. On Friday the 13th I asked if she wanted to see a movie with me! She of course said yes and what followed was the oddest first dat I'd ever been on.

The next day Alyson called me saying" I have so much homework but, I'll probably be done before tomorrow."

"Cool, what movie did you wanna see?" I replied expecting some chick flick.

"I'd love to see Watchmen because all the guys at fencing say it's awesome!" she said back.

In the future we both soon realized the the guys at fencing would be a thorn in our sides forever and the sugestion of Watchmen was the start of the frivolous jokes that were coming my way. Fencing is Alyson's life and the older boys there like her brothers but, without brotherly protection instincts hence the senseless suggestion of Watchmen for her.

That night in my comfortable and spacious compuer room I found out the Sunday showing times for the movie. At the time I had no idea what this movie was going to be like. I would soon find out.

Things I'm tierd of hearing about

How many times have you heard the name Michael Jackson in the past few weeks? Or the Gosselin family? Frankly, I'm surprised that people still care about these subjects because my patience has worn thin. It's hard to care about a man who was on the path to self destrution such as Michael Jackson. Last I heard, his death was being investigated as a murder. The police are trying to blame someone else for the man's death, which was probably his own fault! If he wasn't extremely talented, then none of these investigations would be going on. Now to my real beef: John and Kate plus 8. Their marriage went south and I still have to hear about it months later? They aren't inhuman or perfect, and I don't expect them to be. I enjoyed their show and might even watch reruns of it but, their personal life is their own business. Personally, I'm tired of hearing about it.
