Children of the Sea.

I really liked this one. I like how the girl and the guy wrote in journals, about everything that was going on around them, but still speaking to each other. It reminded me of praying, when you pray (or at least from the few times I’ve done it) you think about everything you have done, but you are talking to God and asking his for stuff (luck, money, miracle, etc.)

The love that these two share is enormous, it practically jumps out of the pages and into your SOUL (if you have one). They describe their love with things they see around them (how cute). What makes it interesting is that they are both in some sort of danger.

What is kind of obvious is that the guy is more educated than the girl. That’s not what I wanted to talk about though. I really liked that the girl’s father saved her life, by buying off the soldiers that wanted his daughter. This is what a typical dad would do to save his little girl, and he didn’t think the guy was right for her. Like a normal daddy he wants the best for his daughter and he didn’t think the dude would give her that.

The pregnant girl on the boat, was really cool too, the symbol of her baby being born in the middle of all that crap (literally) is there. Then the baby is born dead, he won’t cry, and she doesn’t want to trhough him into the water, and when she does she jumps in after it, so they both die. A mother’s sacrifice, and everyone else doesn’t give a f***k crap. I guess that the fact that a baby is involved makes it all that more realistic and horrible. =’{

The ending really got me sad, because they make you think that the guy dies, and she is running away from the butterflies of bad news. He didn’t want to trough his book overboard, but has too, she didn’t want to hear the bad news, but hears it on the radio, they are both running away from something, poor souls.

Dear God 2.0 [The Roots Ft. Monster]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIkdkZWlf6g (or if you can play it, it is also on this page next to the doggy w/ a tv)

So this song kinda sorta just CAME to me. It jumped out at me and hit me in the eye. I really didn’t know about the band but I really liked it. The lyrics are great. I mean that’s when you know a song is good, when you like it off the bat, this song was like that for m e. the lyrics go like this. The song starts off kind of slow and normally I hate that in a song, but, I kept listening because I googled the lyrics and they were good, so I wanted to hear how they put them together, obviously it had to be rap (oh yeah). I’m not a crazy rap song fan, but I listen to it a bit. This sing, like I said brings up really good topics (I like songs with a meaning). My favorite verse is:

♫ They said he’s busy hold the line please
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read

Who does the blind lead?
Show me a sign please
If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?
And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybody’s dirty laundry ♫

By “he’s busy...I thought maybe he could mind read” they refer to God. Well people pray to god, and everyone wants their prayers answered, but they don’t ALL get answered. We kind of have to get in line to get “or prayers answered”, God, they say is supposed to read minds, because how else could he get through so many prayers?

“If everything is made in China are we Chinese” haha. ‘nuff said.

“Technology turning the planet into zombies” well, iPads, smart houses, COMPUTERS, they finna take over the world, dude. Maybe not to that extent, but seriously some of us (most of us) now have crappy writing because we are so used to typing things out instead of writing them out. (I can hear my mom saying “Back in my day….”)

“Everybody all in everybody’s dirty laundry” we live in America, no secret is a secret. ‘Nuff said.
So I hope you listen to the whole song, get the lyrics if you must, but the song is good.

You know what? Here are the lyrics, ‘cuz I know you’re lazy:

♫Dear God, I’m trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it’s so hard to believe it…
But God, I know you have your reasons
(Uh huh)

They said he’s busy hold the line please
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead?
Show me a sign please
If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?
And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybody’s dirty laundry
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis
Terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
Cops yellin’ stop, freeze
Shoot him before he try to leave
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
Endangered species
And we runnin’ out of trees

If I could hold the world in the palm of these
Hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
Everybody checkin’ for the new award nominee
Wars and atrocities
Look at all the poverty

Ignoring the prophecies
More beef than broccoli
Corporate monopoly
Weak World economy
Stock market topplin’
Mad marijuana oxycotton and klonopin
Everybody out of it?

Well I’ve been thinkin’ about
And I’ve been breakin’ it down
Without an answer

I know I’m thinking out loud
But if you’re lost and around
Why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?
(Uh huh)

Yeah… It’s still me, one of your biggest fans
I get off work
Right back to work again
I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan

Well, I’m in the world of entertainment and
Trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
If I don’t make it through the night, slight change of plans
Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands

Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
For going on tour and ignoring the court summons
All I’m trying to do is live life to the fullest
They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets

Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
And why is livin’ life such a fight to the finish?
For this high percentage
When the sky’s the limit
A second is a minute, every hour’s infinite

Dear God, I’m trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it’s so hard to believe it..♫

Jay & Nick

Yo. Let's talk about Gatsby using Nick for his own benefits. Gatsby loves Daisy, and he knows Nick is related to her, that should be enough to tell you that something's up. Gatbsy can be considered somewhat of a stalker, i mean he bought the house opposite of Daisy's so as to admire her from afar, and he thouws HUGE  lavished parties hoping she'll come. Gatbsy invites Nick to his party hoping that he would invite Daisy. This guy is really in love, he's crazy rich and he always gets what he wants, if you ask me, Nick is a way for Gatby to get Daisy, the girtl that got away.
Let's be honest, we've all done that at some point in our lives (or will), we somewhat use our friends to help us get with a guy/girl we want. I'ts human nature ;D

The Snowflake Battle. And Hitler

I step out once again into the cold air
My snow-covered car is still there
I feel like like taking a trip, just for fun
I've been a good girl i deserve at least one
My foot prints get deeper as i walk
The sun is gone, it didn't wanna talk
I walk and i walk straight into a thought
the snow, the joy, the holidays, the bliss
the wind blowing on my cheek, a happy sweet kiss
Wouldn't it be great if the snow lasted all year?
The ice skaters, and snowboarders would have nothing to fear
The snowmen would be dancing around
singing of the new hats they've found
Jenny would bring all the jolly happy snowmen to life
while Clara would try to slit their throats with a knife
My friends would surround me all year long in gloves, hats, and glee
We would watch T.V. drinking hot cocoa and tea
Life would be merry if it was always winter
but OH NO! I've walked so far i think i see Hitler!

Thnx for a Classmate ♥

I like my Am. Lit. classmates. That class is full of amazing, wonderful, and different people. This blog however is dedicated to Clear Towers aka Clara Torres. She and i share a lot of the same views, even though i can't speak as fast as she, for she is in Debate, and can pound me. Clara is smart and deep as well. Clara is my locker-buddy. Torres is not a vampire (no matter what Mr. McCarthy thinks), if she were I'd be one too, by now. Clarita is sweet even though she is evil. Clara is AMAZING. This girlie is not girlie, she is Clara Torres [Mexican accent and rolling of the Rrrs].

P.S→ Tony, Serina, Maggi, Anna, Amy, and JiaJia are WOW-tastic←

I am a Plow [story]

plow [plou]
–noun1. an agricultural implement used for cutting, lifting, turning over, and partly pulverizing soil.

I am a  plow, surrounded by cows, i mess around with soil all the time. Soil is my BFF, we chill, even through, in a good fight, i always win. I am a plow, i help Old McDonald on his farm, with the crops. I am a plow, I'm dragged along Soil by a tractor. The Tractor, that mean old thing, feels that i don't deserve a break and just pulls me along anywhere it wants me to go. The Tractor is the reason why i get into fights with Soil, it makes me pulverize Soil. I am a plow, being dragged around by Tractor, the sometimes-friends of Soil, and the helper of Old McDonald. I am a Plow.

Modern Day Slavery..!

There has been slavery for as long as there has been an Earth. People have always used others, whether it be for economical purposes or for personal reasons. Slavery also exists in modern day, although it is not that known. There is slavery used many places in the world. People who are rich, or just have more power (or think they do), take advantage of the lesser powered people. Kids are slaves, sexual and laboral. In Canada there are sex trades, kids millions of them are a part of them, as well as teens. Those are just a few examples of slavery today.
