This post kind of proves that I'm a contradiction...

I got a high mark for this one here, the teacher thought it was imaginative.  In my opinion it was quite bland because it had to be about myself.  I could of created an extravagant tale that exists no where but in my mind until I write it down, but no.  It had to be about myself. Well, I hope you guys enjoy the poem!

Wings


I have wings
They take me to places I've never seen
      places I've never been
I've even been to places beyond this world


I"ve seen babies being born
      men dying for what they believe in
I've seen seemingly endless nights
I've seen the most most gorgeous sunrises


I've been to mass on Sunday morning
I've listened to a Buddha's teachings
I've gone to war in the name of a false god
      and I never returned home to my family.


Alone in my room
      clearly vivid thoughts fill my mind
      I imagine impossible possibilities
My imagination is wings to an unknown reality




      one no scientist will ever truly discover
            it lies between the pages of books
                  born through children's eyes
                        waiting to be explored by the open-minded




For those of you who watch Star Gate SG-1, you can see how I was inspired for the third line of the third stanza.  I know I'm a geek!  I'm proud of it too!  When I first started watching it with my family, I thought Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) was hot, where as my mother adored Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson).  Stargate SG-1 is a military sci-fi and is really awesome!  The characters are Hilarious!  Jack and Daniel are best friends, but are completely different!  Jack is a colonel in the military (supposed to be retired at that, twice even) and Daniel in short summary, a nerd.  But a hot nerd who spokes over 20 languages and could adapt to learn more quite quickly.  He died multiple times in the series, all times somehow coming back to life.  Here's a brief summary of the plot (source: wikipedia) :


The story of Stargate SG-1 begins about a year after the events of the feature film. A network of ancient alien devices called Stargatesconnects a vast multitude of planets within our Milky Way galaxy for interstellar travel. Later episodes reveal that this network is capable of spanning not just planets within the Milky Way, but with sufficient power, can provide intergalactic travel as well. Stargate SG-1 chronicles the adventures of SG-1, the flagship team of over two dozen teams from Earth who explore the galaxy and defend Earth against alien threats such as the Goa'uld, Replicators and later the Ori. The composition of the SG-1 team is stable in the show's first five seasons but changes several times in the remaining seasons. The series expands upon many Ancient Earth mythologies such as Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, and Arthurian legend. The 2008 direct-to-DVD films Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum continue the adventures of SG-1.

If you guys plan on watching this tv show (which I HIGHLY encourage you to do), I suggest that you watch the movie first.  There are different actors for Daniel and Jack (the others aren't introduced yet), but it's still a really good movie, and you'd be missing background information without watching the movie.  Well, I hope you all enjoyed this post!  Bye~!

Contradiction

Hello all!  I don't know who's reading this, I hope lots of people do, but I need to let you all know that i have no idea what to post!  I know that I just shouldn't blurt that out like that, but that's just how I am.  I'm now going to try and post a poem everyday, not long ones and not necessarily my best (I don't want people taking credit for my hard work), to fill in the gap until I come up with a theme for my blog.  I hope you enjoy today's, it was a school project that I did a while back for ELA.

I am a contradiction

                              

I am myself

            I am not

I want to make a difference

            I really don’t care

I am surrounded by many people

            I don’t need to be

I am a luminous light

                  A shadow on this world

I put effort in my work

                  It later collects dust

I am making joyful memories

                  In the end they are discarded and unimportant

I am a scientist with a breakthrough discovery

                        I am an unkempt poet with a poem in mind

I am a composed Karate master

I am an insolent child

I am a free spirit

                        Encaged my mortality

                              Prey to despair

I know

                              I don’t

I love

                                          I hate

I give

                                                      I take

                                                            I am

                                                                  Human

Music~!

I have no idea what to say in this post, so i'll just post some songs that i love!

Brick ~ Ben Folds Five

I love this song  because it's so full of emotion!  It's so sad...

Cloudbusting ~ Kate Bush

I love Kate Bush's voice!  You know how there's some music that you just like, but you can't explain why, this song is kind of like that. I love this song for it's feeling i guess.

Babooshka ~ Kate Bush

Another Kate Bush song that i love!  Listen to her album "The Whole Story"!

Don't let it Bring you Down ~ Annie Lennox (originally by Neil Young)

Another song that i can't explain why i love it, i just do!  My favorite part is the lyrics.

Time ~ Pink Floyd

What i like... the usage of instruments... the lyrics... the whole thing...

Nosferatu ~ Blue Oyster Cult

Interesting... very intriguing... i never knew it was about a vampire...  A cool video as well...

I think that enough has been said... i'll try to find time to make better posts! :)

Well.. it's been a while...

I'm so sorry that i haven't posted in a while!  Please give me some slack, i'm in grade 10 taking biology 20 and i also have a ruthless Social Studies teacher!  We are WAY ahead of the English kids in our school, but he says that we're behind and that we need to pick up the pace!  I'm dying as it is!  Oh well...  Speaking of school, we just finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird in English class.  I strongly suggest that if you won't be reading it at your school (or you chose not to for some odd reason) that you read this novel. It's amazing!
"The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill a Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960.  It went on to win the Pultizer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academic Award-winning film, also a classic.

"Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill a Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos.  Now with over 15 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal.  Harper Lee always considered her book a simple love story.  Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature."

To finish i'd like to post some of the songs that i'll be playing in the spring concert this year (remember, i play the bari sax part!).  I hope you like them! ^_^ (i'll try posting more often! >.<)
