The Birds Reenactment

     It was a nice day outside and my friend from college was home for Thanksgiving break. We had just come home from the flea market and we had bought new bebe guns. I walked inside my house and opened up the blinds. When I looked out the window, I saw ducks flying around close to the water in my pond. At that moment in time, a muse popped into my head. I asked my friend Ken if he wanted to go hunting. He gladly said yeah and grabbed the new air soft guns from the back of his car. We loaded the two new guns up and the electric air soft gun i already had. I also grabbed a knife just for some extra protection. Ken and I made a plan that we would sneak down to the lake and find the ducks I had seen earlier. After that he would start shooting at them, then I would grab a baby chickk, and we would run off inside. After we made the plan, we went down to the the lake. It took a while to get withing range of the ducks because they kept getting in the water and swiming to the other side. Eventually though, the ducks got out of the pond and started walking up a hill towards the street. When i saw them, I knew we had them. Ken and I sneaked towards them now that they were on the street. POP, POP, POP. Ken started shooting and the ducks started squawking. They tried to go back to the ponds but we had them trapped. I ran in towards the chick to grab one, but on of the parent ducks attacked. It took flight and started flying right towards me. I hit a juke move and got past it but it turned around, so I passed the chicks and ran in my backyard but the duck still was following. "Ken, what are you doing? Shoot it before it bites my head off," i shouted extravagantly. By this time, I had pulled out the knife I had. I then turned around and jumped on the fround. When I hit the ground, I could see the duck coming right above my head and then hit the ground behind me. When I saw the other parent duck flying in my direction, I got up and ran towards my house. This one did not follow me this time though. I looked back once and it was flying towards the other duck. I ran inside and waited for Ken. He ran in the door a few seconds later huffing and puffing. After he and I caught our breaths we looked at each other and started cracking up laughing. I promised right then that I would never mess with those ducks again. It's a shame that I don't always keep my promises though.

The Life of Nature

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more."
~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

The poetry of the earth is never dead.  ~John Keats

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about.  But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back."  ~Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."  ~John Muir

The serenity of nature

The Fall of the Lovers

Many are to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Some say it was the Friar that set their fate when he gave Juliet the potion, some say it was because of Tybalt killing Mercutio which enraged Romeo and eventually led to his banishment. Many say it was Lord Capulet's disregard of his daughter's feelings that caused her to take the potion and eventually kill herself, but the most obvious point for the lovers' demise is the family feud. Because of the family feud, Romeo and Juliet have to hide their love. Because of the family fued, Juliet's parents would not allow her to marry any Montague so in order for her to be with her true love, she put herself in a deep trance that sealed her death as well as that of Romeo. There can really never be one specific person or reason that someone dies but the most responsible cause is the feud that went on through the centuries.

Creationism

There are many different theories of how the earth was created. I believe that God created it all, the heavens and the earth and the plants and animals. What I am still debating is whether he used the process of evolution, or if he spoke words into existence and humans just appeared. 

Which one

I enjoy playing sports.                                                                                       I enjoy playing music.

Why do I have to play music?                                                              Why do I have to play sports?

Which one will I choose?                                                                               Which one will I choose?

I could be successful at music.                                                            I could be successful at sports.

Maybe I can do both.                                                                                        Maybe I can do both.

No, I need to choose.                                                                                        No, I need to choose.

Which one will it be?                                                                                        Which one will it be?

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU by Whitney Houston)

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, ooh

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye--please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

And I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But, above all this, I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I'll always
I will always love you

This is a great love song. It projects the way people feel when they are in love. It also shows what it feels like when you loose your love.

Describing Myself

I have many different sides to me. I can be very playfull some times and at other times can be very serious. I have an intelligent side, then i also have an athletic side. I have many walls towards people like my parents, teachers and many friends. No matter who you are, you will have walls and different sides of you. This happens because you know that many people may not understand something that you tell them wether it be parents, brothers and sisters, or maybe even best friend.

Do people have a responsibility to avenge wrongs done against family members or friends?

There are many different beliefs about vengence in the world. Many times when people have been done wrong, they say that one day get revenge on the people that did them wrong. Some people think that if you are done wrong, you should just forgive the person and walk away. I beleive that if you or someone in your family has been hurt mentaly or physically, you have a right to avenge yourself or your family member.
