I love listining to my ipod,
you may find it quite odd.
I love singing along to any old song
If left is right, than right is wrong
I don't like rain, but I do like sun
I don't like Maine but I do like fun
I like going to Trollwood, wearing my own hood
I like people that do good, things that they should
I love my life and I love this great day
I have no strife, no work, and all play
I love this place and I love this peom
I love this race and I love to show em

I Dream Of Rectagles
I dream of rectangles in a circular world.
A place where flags are proudly unfurled
If you doubt me, and I'm sure that you do
Just remember that everything I say is true
I believe in rainbows with a heart of gold
At least that's the story that I was told
puppies and unicorns are not the same at all
but you can still buy them both at your local mall
I realize that words cannot describe my feelings
But I also know that floors are just upside-down ceilings
No one ever told me that I was great
But then again, I have never been late
Wait a minute. Surely I can do better than that
I'm starting to sound like the cat in the hat
Except it's not for children, or maybe it is
If only I could ask my friend Dr. Fizz
He's not really a doctor so much as a shrink
But he will help you to sleep, if only a wink
But that's all you need on a night like this
So calm, so peaceful, no deep abyss
I think that I would sleep better some nights
If only I could remember to turn out the lights
Not that I'm usually forgetful, definitely not
Now I had something else to say, but i forgot
A place where flags are proudly unfurled
If you doubt me, and I'm sure that you do
Just remember that everything I say is true
I believe in rainbows with a heart of gold

I realize that words cannot describe my feelings

My Poem
My words are thoughts but my thoughts are sad.
My time is money, but my money is bad.
My love is a pleasure, but my pleasure is pain.
My joy is sunshine, but my sunshine is rain.
My eyes are windows, but my windows are closed.
My poetry is my soul, but my soul is exposed.
My mind is a note, but my notes are confusing.
My friends are a team, but my team is losing.
My actions are a cry, but my cries are unheard.
My hopes are dreams, but my dreams are absurd.
My feelings are sweet, but my sweets are unhealthy.
My insecurities are enemies, but my enemies are wealthy.
My heart is a fortress, but my fortress is defeated.
My poem won't make sense the first time you read it.
My time is money, but my money is bad.
My love is a pleasure, but my pleasure is pain.
My joy is sunshine, but my sunshine is rain.
My eyes are windows, but my windows are closed.
My poetry is my soul, but my soul is exposed.
My mind is a note, but my notes are confusing.
My friends are a team, but my team is losing.
My actions are a cry, but my cries are unheard.
My hopes are dreams, but my dreams are absurd.
My feelings are sweet, but my sweets are unhealthy.
My insecurities are enemies, but my enemies are wealthy.
My heart is a fortress, but my fortress is defeated.
My poem won't make sense the first time you read it.
18 Years
18 years, 18 years, she got one of your kids, she got you for 18 years. I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids, his baby mama car crib is bigger than his. - Kanye West in his one hit wonder Gold Digger.
Yes, Kanye West did have interesting things to say about 18 years. Here is a poem I wrote about turning 18 18 Years
Yes, Kanye West did have interesting things to say about 18 years. Here is a poem I wrote about turning 18 18 Years
- Soon I will be 18, no longer a kid,
wishing time wouldn't go as fast as it did.
I haven't done much yet, but just you wait.
One of these days they will call me great.
I know I can be silly, sometimes downright strange;
but ask yourself, honestly, do you want me to change?
I've been unlucky in love, but lucky in friends.
They've helped my pursue several of my ends.
Such as, singing and dancing and acting, Oh my!
Sometimes I begin to wonder, Am I really that guy?
The one who always takes, but will refuse to give.
Sometimes I wish I had more than one life to live.
I ask so much of you, but yet you're still here.
Even now as I approach my 18th year.
But that stuff is boring, so lets get a move on.
After all it is time for me to get my groove on.
So, 18 years and I can't remember half of it.
At least I still have my sparkling snappy wit.
Hopefully 18 years from now, I'll still be singing my song;
and who knows maybe some new people will sing along.
If I had one birthday wish that I could wish for tonight,
I would wish that I could have just a little more height.
Dracula: A look at the influence of this iconic book
Dracula is probably one of the most well known classics of all time. The original Vampire tale, it does not take much searching to see how it has influenced our culture today. If you’ve ever read a vampire book or seen a movie about vampires and they refer to the legends, this is the legend they are talking about. From this one character has come forth countless others all with their own TV shows, books, and movies. In this essay we will explore all the things Dracula has contributed to our culture today.
This one story has inspired hundreds of authors to write similar fictional tales. These tales can range from vampires being considered evil (as in I Am Legend) to vampires that are just misunderstood (Cirque du Freak) to vampires that are actually very friendly and are the good guys (Twilight) because they don’t actually drink human blood Ever since the Twilight series came out, more stories have been written involving friendly vampires. Even though vampires are usually thought of as mindless monsters, (and still are in some books) Twilight has set a trend for being more sympathetic towards vampires.
Vampire movies are the one medium that hasn’t been influenced by Twilight vampires. Except for the Twilight movie itself, vampire movies have always been, and will probably continue to be, horror films. I’m not trying to suggest a vampire as a good guy is a new idea. Marvel did it with Blade. (Of course he’s only half-vampire) Darren Shan did it with his Cirque du Freak series. It is, however, the first time vampires have been marketed to teenage girls.. But as I said, the movies haven’t changed too much. Vampires are still evil, and will continue to be.
One of Dracula’s biggest influences in fictional tales today is the three-act horror tale. Almost every horror story today (including, but not limited to From Dusk till Dawn, The Mist, Resident Evil, Dawn of the Dead, and countless other horror movies and books) contain the three act pattern. Act One: A mysterious threat is revealed. (i.e. people start dying mysteriously) Act Two: The mysterious force is revealed and the survivors group together and start figuring out how to fight it. Act Three: The survivors (which could range to as many as five or as few as one) meet up with the deadly force or forces, (which can range from zombies to vampires to serial killers) for an epic showdown. This is the one thing that ties every horror movie together. There are not many variations on this plot device, however, it is very widely used. The only large variation on this is how long each individual act is. For example, sometimes the first act can be one hour long and the last twenty minutes are the second and third acts, or sometimes the first act can be fifteen minutes long, and an hour and a half is spent on the second act while the third act is only five minutes.
It is amazing, looking back today, that this one book has had such a vast influence in entertainment today. Thanks to this one book, countless people have been inspired to write similar tales. Even Mary Shelly’s Frankenstien is not nearly as well known and influential as this horrific story.
