Week 14 - Attempt 2

Twas the night before finals, and all through the college,

The students were praying for last minute knowledge. 

Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds, 

While visions of essays danced in their heads. 

Out in the taverns, a few were still drinking, 

And hoping that liquor would loosen up their thinking. 

Students in their rooms pacing, 

And dreading exams they would soon would be facing. 

Many speechless, their nose in their books,

with so many unfriendly looks. 

The coffee was drained and they started a new pot, 

No longer caring that their nerves were shot.

 

Starring at the notes, but thoughts were muddy, 

their eyes went ablur, they just couldn't study.

"Some pizza might help," one student said with a shiver, 

But each place they called refused to deliver.

 

When all of a sudden, the door opened wide,

And the EMCC golden eagle glowing bright entered inside. 

His spirit was careless, his manner was mellow, 

All of a sudden, he started to bellow. 

"On Cliff notes, on Crib notes, on Last Year Exams. 

On Wingit and Slingit and Last Minute Crams."

with his message delivered he vanished from sight. 

But we heard him laughing outside in the night. 

"Your teachers have pegged you so just do your best. 

Happy Finals to All and to all a Good Test."

Week 14 - Attempt 1

So the background to all of this...I am a huge neat freak, and im a recycling feen! So my connection to this "list" is how i feel and i know a lot about recycling. If this doesnt fit then I can do it again.

1. Good For Our Economy 

American companies rely on recycling programs to provide the raw materials they need to make new products. 

2. Creates Jobs 

Recycling in the U.S. is a $236 billion a year industry. More than 56,000 recycling and reuse enterprises employ 1.1 million workers nationwide. 

3. Reduces Waste 

The average American discards seven and a half pounds of garbage every day. Most of this garbage goes into to landfills, where it's compacted and buried. 

4. Good For The Environment 

Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources, and keeps waste from piling up in landfills. 

5. Saves Energy 

Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials. (Manufacturing with recycled aluminum cans uses 95% less energy.) 

6. Preserves Landfill Space 

No one wants to live next door to a landfill. Recycling preserves existing landfill space. 

7. Prevents Global Warming 

In 2000, recycling of solid waste prevented the release of 32.9 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE, the unit of measure for greenhouse gases) into the air. 

8. Reduces Water Pollution 

Making goods from recycled materials generates far less water pollution than manufacturing from virgin materials. 

9. Protects Wildlife 

Using recycled materials reduces the need to damage forests, wetlands, rivers and other places essential to wildlife. 

10. Creates New Demand 

Recycling and buying recycled products creates demand for more recycled products, decreasing waste and helping our economy.2.5.

Week 16 journal 3

Well today I changed my farm around a little. I only have a small amout of fields, but i have quite a bit of cattle and a few houses. I was able to level up to levels today so that was a plus. I harvested my wheat today and planted some watermelons. Tomorrow I will hire someone.

Week 16 journal 2

Well, I can say that I am addicted to farm town....I hired someone today to harvest all my tomatos and wheat. I made $11,000 off tomatos and $8,000 off wheat. I bout a little farm house and built fences to keep my hourses and other cattle in.  I started planting rice and corm. Even though it isnt a real farm i get the jist of it...and its quite addicting

Week 15- Collage

Story of my life!

I haven't always been that strong in writing. Usually my average grade for a class was a D in high school. I was never able to write what I wanted, what suited me. It was always a set type of paper, always structured, and that isn't me as a writer. 

*****

I wake up with a splitting headache, so unbearable that even when dust would hit the floor it sounded like a bomb going off. I couldnt even open my eyes, the sun was so bright, as if the suns rays were burning holes through my eyes. although my eyes were glued shut, my tears still managed to twinkle out.

He tells me that I have Meningitis, and that its an infection of the brain. Hering those words, my body gets week and my stomic starts to turn.

*****

Then the building falls, and the screaming is like nails on a chalkboard. I then begin to wonder, wasnt my aunt coming home for vacation to see everyone? then I begin to tear up. The thought that my aunt could of died and been one of those planes is something so devastating. The rest of the day was silent, I could hear a pin drop....

*****

Then the brakes on the car in front of you squeal, you try hard to stop, but lose control of the wheel, you skid off the road, and you know you have crashed, the dashboard, is shattered, the windshield is smashed, Minutes like hours, your in treacherous pain, that washes your senses, envelops your brain, the screams all around you are faint to your ears, as life flashes before you, your hopes and fears,

*****

Before I know it, i am crying. I feel so fucking stupid. I don't want to be a wreck. I want to be together for you. I know I promised I would. I failed you. I am so sorry for that. I wish I could tell you how sorry I am for the way I've behaved. My fingertips caress the headstone in the same way you did all those years ago. "I never told you enough how much I loved you." I curl up by your headstone and close my eyes. Tonight, the only place I can sleep is here. With you.

*****

She is the one who has helped me through the worse things possible. She has truly changed me for the better as a person. This person that I speak about is my best friend here at school, her name is Jenn. At first we started as a couple, but things happened down the road and it turned out that we are much better as friends.

*****

I am quite sure you are going to kill me one day. I can still picture your shy smile in my head after all this time. I should be angry with you. But I can't be. I lay back and stare up at the stars. The graveyard is the only place dark enough to see them. I remember going to the planetarium in elementary school and the feeling i got when the lights went out and the stars dotted the ceiling. I feel small, a speck in the giant eye of the universe. It's a comforting feeling for me.

*****

I sit in my dorm room, bored. I stare around the room. My room is a lot like a prison cell. It is a squire concreat box with a window at the end, looking out to dumpster. The walls are white and are cold as ice. Im surounded by four concreate walls and a big metal door. Am i being punished for going to school.

*****

She could of given up on me when she first thought what she did, but she stuck around to see what my real potentual was. Her personality is truly out there, very adventurous and outgoing. She can always put a smile on my face when i'm upset, even when no one else can. I was having a really rough day, dealing with my health problems and she came busting into the room wearing rediculas cloths and says "Hey its time to cheer up!" I had asked "why?" and her response was "because I am here, and theres no need to sit alone and dwell over it, thats why!"

Week 16 journal 1

There is this game on facebook. and I am absolutly addicted. It is called farmtown. Today I plowed my feild, and started growing some tomatos. The I harvested all my wheat and corn. I was able to make a lot of money selling it to the market and was able to purches a barn for all my animals. today was a good day in the life of farm town.

Week 13 - Small to big Rewrite

Whenever i first meet someone they always tell me that what attracts me to them is my eyes. My beautiful blue eyes. Well thats what color they are for now. My eye color changes during the seasons. I enjoy my eyes, not only because its a grabber for the ladies! But also because i enjoy having sight. To be able to see my family, friends, a loved one. I always melt in the wonderful sights that winter brings, the beautiful glimmering off the tops of hills an trees as the sun hits it. Or how about the beautiful colors that fall brings. The clashes of red, yellow, brown and orange is like heaven to me. It cant get any better then that. But not only do i see a wonderful scenery or a beautiful girl. But I see the dispare and destruction that we as humans cause to this beautiful earth. I see the destruction that we do to ourselves as well. I see the winters becoming longer and the summers becoming shorter. Im afraid the end is near. Notradomus  believed that the world would end in just a big bang. That it would happen so fast. I dont see this happening. I see that slowly we are killing ourselves off with pollution and and starvation. Soon all our resources will be gone and there will be nothing left. Our monitary system has been depleated to almost no end. I see the world ending in blood and desease and mutation over countries defending themselves with nuclear war I'm afraid the end time is near.I see  the O-zone being destroyed and we are left to bake in the cering naked rays of the sun. There will be no human, nor the littlest orginism to survive the destruction we put on ourselves. There will be nothing left, just a destroyed rock floating in space. I see all this happening if things dont change and quick in our future.

Week 11 - When words mean more

Ok, so poetic and distortion isnt what you enjoy...so I will try something a little different, and if it doesnt work. then I will try something different....again

I stare at you on my dresser. As I open you i see all the wonderful memories. Hanging with all my wonderful friends. All the summers of camping with my family. Living the life of a teenager is quit an experience. You mean more to me then a simple object, your a part of my life. You grow as i grow, each moment filling up with more and more memories from the past. Ah, graduation! That was the best feeling I ever had. College was the next step in our adventure of life. Life has truly been an experience for me and you help remember them easier for me. My first speeding ticket was rough for me, but I gave you my ticket to help me remember how pissed I was when I got pulled over after just having my license for a month.  Sometimes I ignore you, or dont look at you everyday, but I know you are always around and will be there no matter what. You grow as a grow, and will always be a part of me. My nike shoe box with all my lifes memories!

Week 12 Taking a Risk

You walk into the store and stride down the aisle; you pick me up and try to look casual while you carry me down to the checkout line, You pull out your wallet, you soon will be mine, your friends are observing every move that you make, the clerk asks for your ID You show him a fake, you quickly walk down to the front of the store, your friends are waiting for you, as you step out the door.

You hop in the car and drive away from the shop, then you shut off the ignition and pop off my top, you take a few drinks, and pass me around, thats when you decide to take a drive around town, You turn on your car, and put your foot on the clutch, Im sober, I didnt have very much you say, you pull onto the road, with me by your side, taking occasional sips, as you enjoy the ride,

Then the brakes on the car in front of you squeal, you try hard to stop, but lose control of the wheel, you skid off the road, and you know you have crashed, the dashboard, is shattered, the windshield is smashed, Minutes like hours, your in treacherous pain, that washes your senses, envelops your brain, the screams all around you are faint to your ears, as life flashes before you, your hopes and fears,

Minutes like hours, you plead and pray, Ill never touch it again, just let me live one more day, your mind starts to go dark, it falls apart piece by piece, then you slip into blackness, the pain has finally ceased, Before you entered that store, you should have thought twice, for I am the substance that cost you your life,

Week 10 distancing and alienation

I am quite sure you are going to kill me one day. I can still picture your shy smile in my head after all this time. I should be angry with you. But I can't be. I lay back and stare up at the stars. The graveyard is the only place dark enough to see them. I remember going to the planetarium in elementary school and the feeling i got when the lights went out and the stars dotted the ceiling. I feel small, a speck in the giant eye of the universe. It's a comforting feeling for me.

*****
I first saw you kneeling by a grave, trailing your slendar fingertips across the lettering. Your eyes filled with some unclassifiable emotion. For some reason, I walked towards you laying a hand on your shoulder. I felt compelled by some outside force to erase that look off your face. your eyes met mine. "She was so young." My arms wrap around you and you sob into my shoulder. We'd spend many nights together, crying on each other's shoulders.

*****
The mist rolls into the graveyard, hanging just above the graves. I wish my eyes were cameras so I could take pictures of everything I see when I come here. Everything that reminds me of you. I want to ask if you are here with me but the words get stuck in my throat. I already know you're not here. i am freezing, my blood turning to ice. But you don't make me cold. Sometimes i wish I could seep into the ground and become part of you. I feel like I'm dying. A tiny piece of me every day. I try to maintain control over myself but here? It doesn't matter here.

*****
Before I know it, i am crying. I feel so fucking stupid. I don't want to be a wreck. I want to be together for you. I know I promised I would. I failed you. I am so sorry for that. I wish I could tell you how sorry I am for the way I've behaved. My fingertips caress the headstone in the same way you did all those years ago. "I never told you enough how much I loved you." I curl up by your headstone and close my eyes. Tonight, the only place I can sleep is here. With you.

Week 9 Linked Vignettes

To see her is to breathe. Her smile fills my lungs with oxygen. Her eyes create the air, a soft, gentle breeze that pulls me towards dusk, and past another lonely day.

***********

All the signs and people say that she's to good for me. When she walks up to me, my brain yells so loud, I can't even hear her speak. "come on you fool, get real, she could never like an idiot like you, you babble and you sweat, your not smart enough, or good looking enough, just give it up you fucking loser"

***************

I remember in the third grade, when I put my tongue on the metal of the swing set, in the middle of winter and it stuck. She was the only one who didn't laugh or make fun of me, she ran and got a glass of warm water, and rescued me from my stupidity."I hope it doesn't hurt too bad, JD",
as she kissed my lips and ran away.

*****************

She moved away that spring, without a mention or goodbye. Now she walks the halls of another school with a guy on each arm and her nose in the air, pretending she doesn't care about the simple things in life. But her smile still fills my lungs and her eyes still hold a flicker of who she once was, and who she will be again because the petals said that she loves me.

Week 8 Vignette

Needlepoints of snow pierced my face as I plowed my way to the car. The swirling wind was so bad that snow pummeled me from every direction. "Talk about being jerked around," I complained into the wool covering my mouth. I pulled my scarf even higher and jerked the hood of my coat down over my forehead. Now if I could have windshield wipers over my eyes, I'd even be able to see where I was going. But, this was my front yard and I knew that the only obstruction between me and the car was the lingering darkness. Plus tons of snow, of course! So I closed my eyes for a couple of steps, squinted for another step, closed them...and finally reached my destination. I blindly tugged at the door handle. "Damn! I locked it!" I say in a disgusted tone. I wiped some snow off the door and the windshield, fumbled a bit with the keys in my heavily gloved hand, opened my eyes fully and shoved the key into the keyhole. More snow enveloped me as I opened the door and quickly slid into the seat. I banged the door shut and at least eliminated the blowing part of my world. Of course I had been in such a hurry to get into the car that I hadn't brushed the snow off me. Some of it drifted on to the front seats as the numbing white stuff from my boots settled on to the floor. I removed my outer glove and inserted the key. The car groaned as the motor refused to turn over. "Oh please," I prayed as absolute despair washed over me. Enough already! I twisted the key again and could hear a bit of a half turn. Encouraged, I tried again and the blessed sounds of an unwilling but running motor reached my ears. I sat very quietly just listening to the hard-working engine as the car virtually bucked underneath me. I shuddered along with the car for a few moments and then began scraping the thin layer of ice covering the inside of the windows. As the scraper bit into the ice, a shower of crystals began to cover my gloved hands and the front of my coat. Well, that counteracted any warmth that the activity might have produced in my body. Shuddering was beginning to feel familiar!

Week 7 Character: Rewrite

She is the one who has helped me through the worse things possible. She has truly changed me for the better as a person. This person that I speak about is my best friend here at school, her name is Jenn. At first we started as a couple, but things happened down the road and it turned out that we are much better as friends. She is someone you can go and talk to when something is wrong and she will sit there and listen. For example, I have been going through some health problems in the past few months and she has been here through it all.She has also taught me that nothing can be judged by image. Not to judge a book by its cover so to speak. I had a conversation with her one night about what she thought of me when she first met me.
"Jenn, when you first met me, what did you think of me?"
"Well first off, I thought you were very indimadating, and no personality at all"
"What? you really thought that?"
"Well you didnt speak much when I first met you, then when I got to know you, you were a great guy"
She could of given up on me when she first thought what she did, but she stuck around to see what my real potentual was. Her personality is truly out there, very adventurous and outgoing. She can always put a smile on my face when i'm upset, even when no one else can. I was having a really rough day, dealing with my health problems and she came busting into the room wearing rediculas cloths and says "Hey its time to cheer up!" I had asked "why?" and her response was "because I am here, and theres no need to sit alone and dwell over it, thats why!"
Some people always talk about people and how they help them, and yes there are other people out there that I've met through the years, but none have made an impression in my life as she did. She made me want to be the person i am today, and made me realize that everything in life happens for a reason, even if it isn't good at first, it all works out in the end. I was able to experience my first feeling of love with her, yes i've had relationships in the past, but none was like how i felt with her. Even though the experience was for a short while, i still wouldn't take any of it back. When I told her some things that were going on in my past she was the only one that didn't shed a tear in front of me and didn't leave when so many others did. So I guess what Im trying to say is that people usually only meet one person in their life that truly makes an impression, and I have found that person, and we are best friends. I wouldn't want it any less!

Week 7 Character

She is the one who has helped me through the worse things possible. She has truly changed me for the better as a person. This person that I speak about is my best friend here at school, her name is Jenn. At first we started as a couple, but things happened down the road and it turned out that we are much better as friends. She is amazing all around. She is someone you can go and talk to when something is wrong and she will sit there and listen. She has also taught me that nothing can be judged by image. Not to judge a book by its cover so to speak. Her personality is truly out there, very adventurous and outgoing. She can always put a smile on my face when i'm upset, even when no one else can. My first impression on her was that she was a very quiet girl, who kept to herself. But once I got to know her she truly came out of her shell. Some people always talk about people and how they help them, and yes there are other people out there that I've met through the years, but none have made an impression in my life as she did. She made me want to be the person i am today, and made me realize that everything in life happens for a reason, even if it isn't good at first, it all works out in the end. I was able to experience my first feeling of love with her, yes i've had relationships in the past, but none was like how i felt with her. Even though the experience was for a short while, i still wouldn't take any of it back. She can be a "character" as you describe but its definitely a good thing. SHe has the most unique personality I have ever seen and that is what brings me closer to her. When I told her some things that were going on in my past she was the only one that didn't shed a tear in front of me and didn't leave when so many others did. So I guess what Im trying to say is that people usually only meet one person in their life that truly makes an impression, and I have found that person, and we are best friends. I wouldn't want it any less

Week 6 theme: place

I sit in my dorm look, bored out of my mind. I start to stare around the room to find something to do. Then it dawns onto me! My room is a lot like a prison cell. It is a squire concreat box with a window at the end, looking out to dumpster. The walls are white and are cold as ice as my warm skin touches it. Im surounded by four concreate walls and a big metal door. I sometimes wonder, am i being punished for going to school. The alonenesss that this room gives me is almost unbearable. Im not locked away, but I feel that I am confined to my room with nothing to do. I can feel the walls cloing in the longer I sit here and staire. I hear faint talking through the heater, its almost a faint ghostly voice that sends chills down my spine. The one light that is in the room, shines like a spotlight, as if to look at me and mock me for being in here. The light from the tv sends shadows on the walls, and it looks as if there are people laughing and pointing at me. As I take my shoes off, i feel the chill run up my legs from the concrete floor. Then as I crawl into bed i stare at the celling and it seems to be getting close and closer to me. As if the room wants me to stay where i am. Finally my eye begin to get heavy, and I drift off to sleep

Week 5 Narrative

I wake up with a splitting headache, so unbearable that even when dust would hit the floor it sounded like a bomb going off. I couldnt even open my eyes, the sun was so bright, as if the suns rays were burning holes through my eyes. although my eyes were glued shut, my tears still managed to twinkle out. My mom wispers to me. "should we go to the hospital?" I mumbled to her "yes." The travel to the hospital seemed to take hours, and the pain just seemed to get worse each foot that had passed. We arvided at the hospital, and was waiting in the room. It was dark, I needed the lights off it was to much. The room was cold, and they had me covered up in just a loin cloths. It was so cold, but i didnt care, all i could worry about was my head. It felt as if someone took a sledge hammer to my head, cracked it open and started eating my brain. The doctor came in, and they needed to do a spinal tap. I had to sit up, it was a lot of work just to do that. As the needle pierced into my spine i felt the tingling feeling running through my body. It felt like the needle was going to pierce through the other side, but then the needle was pulled out.  Laying there waiting for the results was irritating. All i could keep thinking about was what is wrong with me? The room was cold, dark and empty, I felt so alone. I could hear the sink dripping, it sounded like a metal band with a drummer going crazy BANG! BANG! BANG! is all i could hear and it rattled my brain to no end. I had to struggle just to get off the bed, and the walk over was hard, I had to feel my way around my room. I felt a cold metal cylinder, it was the sink, i worked my way to find the nob and turned it off. Finally I am free from the irritating sound of the sink. The doctor comes in, and his voice echos through the room as if i were on the top of a mountain standing over a valley and yelling "HELLO......Hello....hello....hello" He tells me that I have Meningitis, and that its an infection of the brain. Hering those words, my body gets week and my stomic starts to turn. But I was informed that it wasnt deadly or catchable, and it is treatable through anti-biotics. I was then hospitalized for 2 weeks. Being confined to a bed, in a small room with just one one window, and a tv thats cable was all messed up was a horrible thing. I felt like i was in prison...It was horrible that I felt as if they were teasing me with the tv, yes it turns on, and yes there was cable. but it was fuzzy and at my distance in the room i could barely make out characters. I food was nasty, it tasted like they rolled it around in cow dung and let it set for 6 hours! Finally i was able to leave, and I can definitely say that was an experience I will never forget

Week 4....Truth or Consequences

1.  Im sitting at a red light, in my car. A girl comes up next to me in a car and waves. I wave back, and the light turns green. We both leave at the same pace and hit the next red light together. We then start to laugh with one another. The light turns green and she takes off to the left. I take off to the right.

2. I pull up to a red light in my black Mazda RX6 and immediately stop. A gorgeous blonde drives up next to me in a blue honda civic. I look at her and she looks at me. Our eyes meet each other. She flicks her hair back and waves a very flirty wave. I wave back with a horny grin on my face. The light turns green! and I hit the gas and begin to speed away, but she keeps up with me. We r looking at each other then BOOM! the other light is red. I sit there, look at her and she looks at me, and i give her a wink. I rev up my engine, till the tack reads 40,000 rpms. the light turns green and I take off squealing to the right, and she takes off squealing to the left.

3. I roll up to a red light with my bouncy black Mazada RX6. I see this lady next to me and we look at each other. for a minute time stops and all i can see is her beautiful firery blue eyes look at me. I rev up the engine, and turn on the lift. I start bounching there listning to techno music and wave to her. I get a amazing smile and flirtatious wave back. SHE WANTS ME! I say, and rev up the engine, and take off as soon as the light turns green, she is next to me for 5 miles, and do not take my eyes off her, the cars in front of me, move out of my way, for they know I am a man on a mission. We stop at the next red light. I open my door and walk over to her drivers door, I swing open the door and give her the biggest kiss. She almost fainted right there, i then rested her back in her car, gave her my number and got back into my car. I then blew her a kiss, and whipped my car around the corner...

Daily Journal Jan 30th

Well today is good. Its a firday so a weekend is coming up! Sadly My hard drive went in my computer last night, so now I dont have a computer, Who knew life would be boring without a laptop in your hands! I feel lost without electronics! It is an inconvience without a computer, but luckyl my room mate has one so i can still keep caught up on all my online classes, so it isnt the end of the word...but still sucks!!

REWRITE: Week 2 History of me

I sit at my desk working on an english assignment then all of a sudden an announcement comes onto the intercom. Its my Principle, "please stop what you are doing and have your teacher turn it on channel 6 news "My teacher gets up and turns the tv on. What I see I will never forget. The Twin towers have been attacked! At my young age I thought ~what is the concern to this?~ As my teacher begins to explain the importance my heart falls and my stomic turns upside down. How could this happen with all the security in all the airports. I remember it taking so long to just reach the plan. Then the building falls, and the screaming is like nails on a chalkboard. I then begin to wonder, wasnt my aunt coming home for vacation to see everyone? then I begin to tear up. The thought that my aunt could of died and been one of those planes is something so devastating. The rest of the day was silent, I could hear a pin drop....I then go home get off the bus, run inside and see my mom at the table crying. i ask her what has happened? what has caused her to be so upset...Then it hits me...My aunt was one of the passengers of the plane...I sit there and cry with my mom. She has lost her sister and i lost my aunt due to a terrorist attack. It took me a long time to recover and still that day will be unforgettable to me, as well to others, but especially to me....9/11 the day the world stood still...

Then came high school. They say that high school are the best years of your life, but I beg to differ, my freshman year was terrible. Didnt make a lot of friends, wasnt much of a people person, and was always getting into trouble. One of the days I will never forget (11/23/05) that is the day I went to jail. I had gone because one of my friends had gotten hurt from someone and I cared for her like she was my own sister. I took matters into my own hands and it wasnt the brightest choice of mine. I was sentenced to 5 years, but I got out on good behavior after a year. I am still on paroll till this day. Jail is a life changing experience, i dont suggest it, but if it wasnt for me going at the time I did, i wouldnt be who i am now.

Its the end of my senior year in high school and I applied to many schools, the wait for the responses were unbearable at times. Then I hear my name called to the office. I receive a stack of letters, they are all from the school I had applied. I open them one by one, and each were denial letters, by the time I got to the 5th denial letter I thought I would never be going to college, I thought I would be stuck with a dead weight job for the rest of my life. Then comes the envelope from Eastern Maine Community College, which was my last hope for a successful career. I open it, and jump for joy, I have been accepted to EMCC for Computer Aided Drafting and Design! That was the happiest day of my life!
Global Warming, do many people follow that? I believe it, there has been a lot on tv with global warming, and that we are doing it to ourselves. A lot of talk about water melting, air thining as well as the ozone. I begin to think, what if the exstinktion of mankind is our fault? Do I want my kids to live in a world that is almost unbearable? It is time to change things. Al Gore is on the tv, discussing ways to change global warming from getting worse. But there are many that mauk him and think it isnt true. But those are people who make money over the things that are ruining us, Gas, Oil, Mills etc.. I hope that things change for this, and I will keep up with the information
I sit in my dorm room and turn on the tv. It is the presendent making a speech, It is time that we take our troops out of iraq, we have shown what we can do, and what will happen if violence still accures with us. At this point I begain to think this monkey is full of shit! He has been using the same speech over and over again sense the war started and nothing has changed. As the time goes by, still nothing. Later on I see on tv in bing bold letters THE CONTERY IS IN RESSETION! Im very puzzled, what does this mean? I begin to watch furthur. The i got the jist of it, basically we are back to the depression, or atleast heding in that derection! What happens with jobs? Money? insurence? i cant live without those things! People begin to start getting laid off from work and big companies begain to go bankrup! What is going on with the world today! At this point prices are dropping. Instead of paying $4.00 a gallon its only $1.70 and I can finnally fill up my tank! It amazes me, I always said that I would go streaking in Acadia Park if gas goes below $2.00. Well looks like its time for me to get down to my skivies!!
1/20/09 at 12pm the Inogralation of Barack Husain Obama. This is truely a day in history! The first African American to become president. Now I didnt vote for either. I voted for the green party, Ralph Nader all the way! It is time that our country is runned by someone who isnt from here, and someone who isnt a family of the country, and what I mean by that is all the Kennedys, and bush's that ran the country. Time to change it up!

Scenes and Dialog

I love sitting a airports and watch all the people around. Last summer i was heading to new york to visit a friend. This was my first time flying. So i was a little nervous. I sat at the gate. and a plane arives. I see a lady with blond hair and glasses waiting at the door. then i hear a high pitch scream. "Oh my god! its you! I havent seen you in a long time!!" then the man with curly brown hair says "i know, its been a long time." They start huging and sit down at the termenal. That is when their conversation gets interesting. He begans to say..."so I have a surprize for you" "Oh ya, what would that be?" Then what I see next surprizes me just as much as it surprizes her. He gets down on one knee. "will you merry me?" he says. At this point the whole airport is quiet, waiting for the decision she makes. She has a puzzled look on her face, then a grin from ear to ear "Yes! I would be happy to spend the rest of my life with you!" Wow! At this point I was surprized! From the way they were talking it seemed liek it was forever sense they saw each other, and then to purpose in a airport? that seems very tacky to me.
Well that was enough excitement for me. And my stomic started to grwole uncontably. It was time for me to grab a bite to eat, after all i had about 2hrs to wait. I head over to get a berito. There are a lot of interesting people at airports, especially at food lines. I begain to over hear a conversation between a lady and her child. "Mom I dont want to go, I want to say with you! Im to scared to go!" The mother gets down to one knee to look at her child in the eyes, and wipe away the tear that has just run down her face, "Honey its ok, your a big girl! and Daddy really wants to see you!" The child begins to have a smile on her face, as if she never was crying. "I know i want to see daddy too, but i will miss you" Then the intercom comes on. "Flight 1233B to calorado is now bording!" The little girl begains to cry. "Mommy that is my plane!" "I know dear, it is time to leave." They begain to walk over to the gate. I begain to have sympothy for the little girl, I could relate to her, I was just as nervious as she was, it was my first time on a plane as well. It was my turn to crab a bite to eat. "Hi I would like a number 3 please." "Would you like fries with that?" the cashier says. "Yes please!" I gave her the money and returned back to my seat.
My phone goes off, "Throw your dollar bills, leave your thrills here with me" I answer it, I thought it was on vibrate! Its my mother.
"Hello my son"
"hey"
"How is waiting for your plane?"
"Its good so far, kinda bored, and axious at the same time."
"Its ok, you will be fine."
"I know, still the point I guess."
"I know, well I was just checking in, make sure you call me as soon as you get there."
"I will"
"Ok well have fun, love you!"
"Love you too"
As I hang up the phone, a couple sits across from me, I didnt look up, just sat there reading my book. They begin talking. "So I packed your lunch, your plane leaves in an hour, all your stuff is all set. and your cary on has all your stuff that you need through the plan, your book, ipod, computer etc.." "Ok mom! haha, I know babe, this isnt my first flight!" "i know, but im just nervious for you, with al lthat has been going on in these days, you cant help but to be extra safe!" "Did you see how much crap we went through just to get through the line? It was insane, if someone were to do somthing I would shake their hand!" She hits him, " Dont ever say that! That isnt funny at all!" "I know Im sorry" "Make sure you call me when your getting ready to bored and when you arive!" The intercom comes on again. "American Airlines flight 1558 to Buffilo New York can now bored at gate 5" It was time for me to bored. I was surprized to how many people are willing to have conversations with strangers around. I almost didnt want to leave, some conversations were interesting. I bored the plane and thats where the story ends from here..

Daily Journal, Jan 29th

Well so far so good today. Again i forgot to write a log. I went to my classes today, inspite how tired i was. I was able to finish my cad assingment today, with was great. And now I am just hanging out with some friends until dinner time. This week has been a great week for me so far...*knock knock* Knock on wood!

Daily Journal, Jan 26th

SO..again I forgot to write my daily journal...I figured to make up for it I will write 3 extra daily logs..I only have to keep them for a week, so i figured that is 7 entries. This past weekend has been good. Although very boring. Ironically I am getting home sick. It is ironic because i usually dont miss home. But with classes and the usual "drama" I ust need a weekend away from here, where i can be around my friends and family and just chill....not have to worry about school or people, and just chill and get nice and drunk! I havent done that in soooo long, im due for a fun night!

Daily Journal, Jan 22th

Well today has been a good day. I actually woke up on time, and my alarm was set the right way! I was able to finish my assignment in my CADD class and next week onto a new assignment! Some things have been bothering me. Mostly relationship problems, but I am working on them. Writing in this daily journal is helping me. I dont like talking to people, but i enjoy writing out my issues, it helps me face them on my own. Keeping feelings bottled up inside I have learned arnt healthy. So I am working on it. And so far so good for me!

Daily Journal, Jan 21th

Well..Today..Lets see...I slept through both of my classes today. My alarm was set, but set for 8pm! I wasnt a happy camper. So i had to run around and get talk to my teachers to make sure it was ok, and get my assignments. that was hectic. Todays lunched looked like they went out back and had a bunch of cats puke it up. Alone with dinner. I dont see why it costs 1600 for a meal plan when the food isnt even half way decient. So i have been starving all day because I am a broke ass college student. Today hasnt been a good day for me at all. Really crapy, but I try to take everything with a grain of salt...the only shitty part is, I FUCKING HATE SALT!!! Tomorrow is a new day. And I hope it was better then today...Well thanks for listening self....

Daily Journal, Jan 20th

So I havent been all that faitful to writing a journal, and I sorry for that. School can be stressfull sometimes and as an adolecent adult, my attention span is quit small. But so far so good for school. The classes are ok. i did my first speech today for class. I talked about my success in getting an award from the governor. Speaking in a group has never been a strong part for me. ive always been the one to be at the back of the room, and just sit there and be quiet. It was hard to have everyone looking at me. and I was so nervious. But I was able to get it done, and I was happy to get it done. Maybe this class will not be so hard if I am able to get use to it!

Week 2 History of me

I sit at my desk working on an english assignment then all of a sudden an announcement comes onto the intercom. Its my Principle, "please stop what you are doing and have your teacher turn it on channel 6 news "My teacher gets up and turns the tv on. What I see I will never forget. The Twin towers have been attacked! At my young age I thought ~what is the concern to this?~ As my teacher begins to explain the importance my heart falls and my stomic turns upside down. How could this happen with all the security in all the airports. I remember it taking so long to just reach the plan. Then the building falls, and the screaming is like nails on a chalkboard. I then begin to wonder, wasnt my aunt coming home for vacation to see everyone? then I begin to tear up. The thought that my aunt could of died and been one of those planes is something so devastating. The rest of the day was silent, I could hear a pin drop....I then go home get off the bus, run inside and see my mom at the table crying. i ask her what has happened? what has caused her to be so upset...Then it hits me...My aunt was one of the passengers of the plane...I sit there and cry with my mom. She has lost her sister and i lost my aunt due to a terrorist attack. It took me a long time to recover and still that day will be unforgettable to me, as well to others, but especially to me....9/11 the day the world stood still...

Then came high school. They say that high school are the best years of your life, but I beg to differ, my freshman year was terrible. Didnt make a lot of friends, wasnt much of a people person, and was always getting into trouble. One of the days I will never forget (11/23/05) that is the day I went to jail. I had gone because one of my friends had gotten hurt from someone and I cared for her like she was my own sister. I took matters into my own hands and it wasnt the brightest choice of mine. I was sentenced to 5 years, but I got out on good behavior after a year. I am still on paroll till this day. Jail is a life changing experience, i dont suggest it, but if it wasnt for me going at the time I did, i wouldnt be who i am now. 

Its the end of my senior year in high school and I applied to many schools, the wait for the responses were unbearable at times. Then I hear my name called to the office. I receive a stack of letters, they are all from the school I had applied. I open them one by one, and each were denial letters, by the time I got to the 5th denial letter I thought I would never be going to college, I thought I would be stuck with a dead weight job for the rest of my life. Then comes the envelope from Eastern Maine Community College, which was my last hope for a successful career. I open it, and jump for joy, I have been accepted to EMCC for Computer Aided Drafting and Design! That was the happiest day of my life!

I stand, waiting in my gown, knees weak, my pams are sweaty, and I feel sick. Then the music comes, I tell myself it is time. Time to graduate! High school will be over! I sit on the bleachers, then my name is called...I stand, and smile, then all my awards and scholarships are listed....I didnt know i received so many, it felt like I was standing there for an hour! Then the ceremony is over. We all rise and walk off...I did it, I finally graduated! Class of 2007!!

Its the end of the summer and now its time to start my future. The ride to EMCC felt like an eternity and my stomic wouldnt stop turning....I get all my stuff and move into my room. Living on my own was never something I had done before, hell i just learned how to do laundry for myself!! I kissed my family goodbye and looked at the door as they left. That was a hard sight to see and I could feel a tear run down my face....It was now time for me to become a man! My first semester seemed to go by so fast, i made a lot of friends. Then came my second semester, as did that go by fast! then third semester. Then I realized, wow I am on my last semester for my degree. I thought that high school went by fast, but college is a blur!

Im now on my last semester of school and I cant be happier. I thought I would never make it to where I am now. Who would of thought it, I would make it to where I am now. A person who was such a trouble maker, and people thought I would amount to nothing. But here I am! on my own and my life has changed! A lot has happened to me in my past, that at the time I thought was hell, and wouldnt be good for me. But I look back and realize that everything happens for a reason, and although i would change a few things, I dont regret what happened to me. Because if it wasnt for my past. I wouldnt be who i am today......

Who I am as a writer.

I haven't always been that strong in writing. Usually my average grade for a class was a D in high school. I was never able to write what I wanted, what suited me. It was always a set type of paper, always structured, and that isn't me as a writer. 

       As you hit college it got much better you were able to get some ideas from yourself. You have always been more of a creative writer then a technical professional writer. You like to sit down and write how you feel, whether it turned into a short story or a wonderful poem that was music to your ears.

He always enjoyed writing poems mostly, the best poems that came from him were the ones from the heart, usually about a family member who had passed away or a more heart warming cause, like falling in love. As long as he had an idea of what he is going to write, and as long as it is open to anything he can usually come up with an amazing piece of writing.

Daily Journal, Jan 12th

Well i don't really know how it is suppose to go on these daily journals but worth a try. Wow! Today was an interesting day. I moved in with my friend into the dorms, and had to go to my classes, I think that this semester will be much easier, because the classes seem to be more fun. The only bad part about it is that they are all early classes and i'm not much of a morning person, more of a night owl, but I hope that this semester goes much better, I have a feeling it will!
