Snowfall

A snowfall begins to envelop the city. The stars gracefully tumble towards the ground below. Dim light from the street lamps is swept up in the intricate dance of the falling snow. A young couple is briskly walking alongside the closed shops and diners. They are tightly bundled, and as they walk towards their destination, the remnants of their breath float lightly in the air behind them. A solitary oak tree, disrobed by the changing seasons, sways beyond its control in the growing winter winds.

How not to use the English language

The following was found on the floor of my chorus room in senior year of high school (so that would be either 2001 or 2002, I'm not really sure). I don't really know who wrote it or what class it was for, but I do know one thing: it is hilarious. It is presented here in full, word for word (verbatim), from the original (including spelling, grammatical, and other errors). It's been sitting in the same red folder for three years, but now it's time for the official public offering of...

Luke Skywalker- a true epic hero

Have you ever believed in real heroes? believe there are still some true heroes out there today. for example, i think Luke Skywalker from the movie Star Wars, a movie set in space and other strange planets, is a real hero. The movies are about the journey of Luke Skywalker, a young jedi that is looking for clues about his past and information about his father. During his journey he runs into all sorts of trouble. He has to fight monsters , robots and even his own father. He has to decide between right and wrong decisions, fight against the evil. Different people and monsters help Luke skywalker become and learn about being a true jedi master.

I believe that LukeSkywalker is a true epic hero. He has all the traits that other epic heroes have. Luke Skywalker is a wandering hero. He has been searching for his father and who he really is, he has never met him before. He is also searching for his past, where he was born, who was his father, what was he like and all his other childhood memories, Luke Skywalker also have many other friends that help him get through the journey ,this shows that he is loyal to his friends and partners. That is another trait of an epic hero.

Another trait for an epic hero is courage,and Luke Skywalker has a lot of that.He battles monsters in space, he has to go to the Death Star and save the princess, named Princess Leah. Luke also has to fights robots many times the size of him, not one, but a whole arm of them. He has to beat big fat monsters in order to continue his journey. He even has to fight his own father. At one point Luke Skywalker gets his arm cut off from a light saber and has to hand on this ledge, if not he will die, this shows great strength and determination. Another example of courage is when Luke Skywalker helped save the forest with the little furball animals. The furballs lived in the forest, and the enemies tried to take it over. Luke Skywalker was helped by hans solo, r2 d2, and 3 cpo, r2 d2 helps Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo with opening doors which are locked by tight security. The other robot always complains about getting caught and getting killed, he never helps out. Luke Skywalker and his friends get chases through the forest by the other enemy, they race through the forest and the little furball monsters set up traps to help Luke and his friends. They shoot lasers and bullets at the other planes and by time the chase is over most of the enemy army is dead or they lost Luke Skywalker and his other friends.

So I think these are the reasons that Luke Skywalker is a true epic hero. He has courage, determination, he is looking for something and in some cases he is larger then life. That is way i believe Luke Skywalker is a great epic hero

I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose

Are you Kevin Spacey? On one hand that could be cool, cuz you'd be Kevin Spacey. On the other hand that wouldn't be cool cuz then who would be you? Would there even be a you, would you still be as cool as you, and would I even know you? If we're assuming you're Kevin Spacey, can we not also assume that you live Kevin Spacey's life, and not the other way around? If you were Kevin Spacey living your life, then the Kevin Spaceyness that makes him Kevin Spacey would be lost. Of course, we are assuming that determinism is nonexistent and that our two personas are not predetermined to come into contact in any form and that it's purely coincidental. That leaves the possibility open that I could one day meet Kevin Spacey and think back to this conversation and wonder if I would have still met you, had you actually been Kevin Spacey, since I would be talking to Kevin Spacey himself at the time. And that could have been you, and I never would have known.

Dare to do the deed

Blog.

Humans all over the world are sitting down at their computers and frantically typing their fingers away in an attempt to tell us about their lives. Some are funny, some are sad, some are boring, and some are flippin' sweet.

I've spent the last several years of my life keeping my dislike of blogs no small secret. But I've got a confession to make: I read them. I don't know why, but I do. Whether it's to find out what color his bathroom is now, or what she had for breakfast, or what music you currently dig, I keep finding myself following the link to your blogs.

Those of you who are naysayers will probably pose the question, "What the hell? You are a hypocrite and a poseur." I concede the fact, and offer the following rebuttle: oh well.

It breaks down like this. I don't actually want to tell you what happened in class today, or what music I listened to while I did my homework, or what cereal I ate this morning (it was Honey Nut Toasty O's!). I'm not even entirely sure what I'll use it for, but I know this much: it will be interesting. If something is not interesting, then call me out and say "hey this frikking sucks, get a life!" or something to that effect. Believe me, I'm self-aware enough to be conscious of the ridiculousness of someone like me starting a "blog," but let's work together and see if it can be used for the good of mankind.
