Another Dream

When I have a dream, I will write it down. I have just been too tired to realize I had a dream.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find

I read this story in high school and thought it was very intense. I read it in a book with other stories like this including The Lottery. Both of these stories are truly shocking once read. A Good Man Is Hard To Find definately makes me think twice about driving down a dirt road that not many cars drive on. It is very possible for this to happen in real life. there are many people like the misfit out there, we just do not know about them or think twice about them. We hear about them then just forget about it slowly.

In one of my classes we were talking about how there was a halfway house for men who were sexual predators right next to a school. No one knew about this but it was a threat. In this story, the Misfit was well known but no one thought they would run into him or he was a serious threat. It turns out he was and everyone got shot because they did not take him as a threat.

Icarus-"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"

This painting is very interesting.  There is the pretty landscape and two people in the foreground that look like they are working.  It took me awhile to find Icarus in the painting.  On the right of the photo in the water there is a small leg coming out of the water.  This would be Icarus's leg.  The picture looks very peaceful.  If it was not for Icarus, it would look like a "picture perfect" type of painting.  There are ships in the water, trees, rocks, sheep and people.  It looks like a picture painted off a cliff in Greece.  Icarus should of known better then to fly too close to the sun because he knew his wings would melt.  It shows the ignorance of men and how a lot of times they will do what they want.

Childhood Memory

I do not have many great childhood memories because my parents got divorced so I tried to block alot out and somehow i achieved! My earliest memory is when I lived in Encino, California.  I was picking plums out of my plum tree standing on a plastic slide.  I had just picked the plum and I saw a bee coming toward me.  I did not move quick enough and the bee stung me right below the eye.  I got down and cried very loud and ran toward the sliding glass.  My mom came and got me and then cuddled with me.

Ground Hogs Day

I woke up in the morning at 7am.  I got out of bed, walked into the kitchen made a bowl of frosted flakes poured milk into it and walked back into my room.  I then ate while sitting on my bed then walked into my closet and put sweatpants and a sweatshirt on.  After i finished my cereal, I went to my car, and got in it then drove to school.  I went to my educational psychology class, then my geography class then my history class.  After that I went home and made some noodles and then sat on the couched and read.  I read my history book for 5 hours.  At 6pm I went to the gym then came home and showered.  After showering I ate my leftovers from lunch and watched Michael Jacksons movie "This Is It" and went to bed.  I ended up going to sleep around 10pm.  

My life is pretty much the same schedule most days.  Exciting I know....
