When I was younger I wrote poems for my mother. They weren’t anything fancy, nothing award winning or of literary sensation—just short, small, not-even-more-than-a-few-lines poems; the kind short enough to be haikus but just lacking that rhyming scheme. I was sitting on her custom designed Windows computer—customized to be an easy-to-use gadget for the blind […]

Hollow Men (T.S. Elliot)
Mistah Kurtz-he dead A penny for the Old Guy I We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats’ feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without […]

After finally reading Meg Cabot’s Jinx, I was browsing my school library’s limited book selection, looking for something sweet, romantic, and Meg Cabot like. And the first book I found was What Happened to Goodbye, about a girl named Mclean Sweet, who made a habit of creating new persons for herself and then just disappearing, […]
So this one time out in Utah, I had come to visit my family for the holidays. While I was there, I hung out with my friend Julia. It was about ten o’ clock when we decided to take a walk. On our way back, we saw a green cart. It was one of those […]

Thank You, Roosevelt.
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse to never have tried to succeed.” –Mr. Theodore Roosevelt. Great words from a great president. Ever notice the accuracy? For example, in high school—students aren’t judged by their appearance but by their readiness to succeed. In fact, I think that happens everywhere. In school, at work, at […]
College of My Choice
So I’m in my College Summit class and apparently I’m missing my “college of your choice” paper. Frowing, I’ve decided to write it, but I have no Idea what to say. When I was in Nebraska I was going to go to Doane College for government, economics, and politics—maybe English and psychology. When I moved […]
If You’re Raging, Say I.
Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? It certainly wasn’t just me tonight when I watched season 4′s 3rd episode of the Vampire Diaries “The Rager”. It seemed that even Elena, Stefan, Damon, and Tyler felt the heat in this developing episode. For starters, we finally see Tyler again after his […]
