Today my first homework assignment for Honors Writing was to write a one-page reponse on a poem of my choice from a packet. I chose an interesting little piece called "Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" by Randall Jarrel. It reads ( Read more... )

Today in Journalism we took an inventory style test thing that was supposed to determine our adult temperment styles for learning. I was sorta bored because I had Mrs. White last semester and took the same test, and I wasn't surprised to find that I'm still a good ol' sensing-feeling kinda guy. I work and learn best when I can relate personally ( Read more... )

Sometimes it really amazes me how I can never realize how good some video games are until I rediscover them and play three years after I've already bought and beaten them.

Yeah, I've been lazy and sick in the past couple of weeks. Haven't updated in a while, but hopefully I'll get back in the habit now that it's closer to a new year and a new semester at school ( Read more... )

"You can't take the beliefs of one group of people and use them to enforce rules on an entire nation because, well, we don't all believe the same things. Roe versus Wade began in 1972 and it taught us all a valuable lesson about freedom and other stuff. Man! I know what I wanna say and I know I had a question for the cons, but I can't think of ( Read more... )

It's always a lot of fun for me because the images are vague and the ideas always seem like the most ( Read more... )
