Writing As A Gift

Dear Mom,

Mom you’ve always been there for me. I know I say that a lot but this time it’s very special as it’s my senior year of high school and I’m about to go off and live on my own. We will be separated for the first time ever in what seems like the time we’ve been together has lasted forever. That’s just how life is it goes by and we all grow up at sometime. I hope that I’ve made you proud because I’ve been blessed to have a mother like you. I’ve listened to you, I’ve learned from you, and I hope to be successful like you. I know that we will miss each other like crazy when it’s all said and done but I will definitely keep you in my heart and will keep contact with you. We still have this winter break and Christmas together my last one of public schools so hopefully we will make the most of it! I love you so much and thank you for being such an inspiration to me guiding me through the highs and lows of life. I can’t thank you enough.

Love,

   Charles

Final Reflection

1. I can’t really think off the top of my head some of the specific pieces I’ve done although some of my favorites were probably my One Activity, One Shoe, One Story post and my Children's Book. My One Activity post I really enjoyed because the activity that we did with it was super fun and I felt like it was one of my best pieces I wrote this year because it was something I enjoyed and was able to write about. I was also really proud with the title as I feel like it’s my best title out of any of my posts. Looking back on it now I do miss going outside and looking for those items as that was one of the best activities we did. The children's book was fun even though I had a lot of trouble with my images and my printer. It was also kind of difficult for me to come up with a children’s book as I’m not the most creative. I was proud though when I did finish because I was actually able to do it and I created a children’s book. The review the kid gave me who read it was super nice and gave me lots of great compliments! Except for my handwriting could be neater but I’ve known that for my whole life. Those are the 2 posts most memorable to me.

2. Some pieces that I have read this quarter that I really liked were everyones honestly I can’t really pick any favorites from my fellow classmates. Everyone here in this class are great writers and they had great pieces on their blogs! There’s just too many for me to pick to talk about as they all were just so awesome. When I went to leave comments on some of the blogs going through and actually reading them was such a joy just to see what everyone had to say about the same things that you said yourself in a different way. It’s amazing to see all the different thoughts and ideas people have and to be able to compare it to yourself. People really are all different but we each are unique in our own way.

3. Setting uo my blog was pretty nerve wracking for me as I didn’t really want to do it. Thinking of myself with a blog seemed like a no go ever but I did for this class and I’m honestly happy with it. I’ve been able to express thoughts on it while getting support and positivity from my classmates. I came up with the name for my blog just because it’s one of my favorite quotes but it’s also just a simple one. I felt like it’s a good way to describe me simple but thoughtful. I know my classmates read it but some random people might of read it which is just fine with me. I’m fine if people don’t know about my blog as I’m pretty shy but if they find it, I’m going to let them read my posts. I don’t think I will continue to use it but I will definitely keep it as a memory to have of this class when I get older and I look back at high school.

4. Journaling I think is worst then my blog just because you actually have to hand write the stuff you don’t type it which makes your hands hurt more. It’s about the same as blogging except for people didn’t really read what was in my journal which was a-ok with me. The things that are in my journal are a lot of the in class work that we did and just some random stuff every now and then. If I wanted anyone to read it probably just my friends and family yet like the blog, anyone who wants to read it I would let them. I will probably not use my journal anymore just like my blog but once again it is a valuable memory of this class.

5. Big Life Dream: For a while, I didn’t have many dreams growing up. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, or become. I’ve always had a love for sports especially basketball but I knew a playing career would be very tough. Then freshman year, I was watching a college basketball game and then it hit me. I could be one of those guys talking on the TV, a broadcaster! It felt like a great job to me because I would be around basketball and I have a knack for talking during the game about what’s going on in the game. Now as a senior, I’ve realized that being a successful broadcaster is pretty tough but I’m still going to try for it. I’ve already gained experience as Matt and I broadcasted the TOC this past year for Kickapoo basketball. This year we are going to try and broadcast more games and maybe get more viewers. Anyways my dream is to be a successful broadcaster, basketball would be the best, for a great company or school. ESPN is the top goal but a college or professional team would be a success to me as well. This is really the first thing I’m super excited for and I’d love to broadcast for my life. The TOC with Matt was so fun, and I really did enjoy it. I know I can improve on my in game talking but that feedback I got about my knowledge and the things I said during the games was so supporting! This is my big life dream and I will try and make it come true.

6. Haunted Houses Aren’t My Thing:

It was a Saturday night just a couple of days before Halloween and I immediately knew this was a huge mistake. As the car pulled into the parking lot, my stomach was turned inside out. I got out of the car and walked over with my friend RJ and his family. He had invited me to do this earlier in the day and I didn’t want to seem like a wimp so I said yes. I had always been scared of these places which is why I hadn’t gone in like 7 years but today that streak ended. This Halloween, I was going to go to a haunted house. We got up to the line which seemed like a mile long but that was just more time I didn’t have to go into this place yet. It was super dark out or at least it felt like it to me but that line just started getting shorter super quick, to quick for me. My legs felt like jelly as that house got closer and closer but yet I tried to look calm and fine on the outside. Anyways it was time we finally made it to the house it what felt like 10 seconds and as we entered in I could hear screams and just scary sounds all around. I am not a scary person. I get so scared because I feel like it’s going to happen to me in real life. Anyways we started walking as I tried to stay right in the middle of the group to be the safest. It wasn’t to bad at first as it was just kinda scary props with a little bit of light but once we hit the next area that’s when I really got scared. It was pitch black so I couldn’t see anything and that’s the stuff I hate. The sounds got louder and I pumped into a couple of people I think just trying to get through. I thought for sure I was lot and that really put a panic in me but I was actually in the front and saw a light up ahead. There was a guy dressed a clown standing on the side but he didn’t scare me but scared the people behind me in our group. Anyways the rest wasn’t bad as the guys weren’t very scary and once I saw the slide to the end I went for it and slide out so quickly and got out of there. I made it and realized it’s not that bad besides the dark part. I felt so relieved and just ready to go home. To this day I still haven’t gone to a haunted house since that moment about 5 years ago.

7. Some creative writing that I may do when I get older could be related to sports as I do want to become a sports broadcaster. What I got out of writing creatively is it really can show who you are and it’s a good way to show who you are. There are things that you may not even know about yourself when writing some of these pieces. It’s also super fun and it helped spark my creative thoughts that I didn’t know I had. This differs very much from normal writing as first off it’s not super strict and you can be a lot more free and loose. Also you can write about anything but in other writing especially in school, it’s about a certain topic, or you have to write about this. Creative writing is honestly so fun and my favorite type of writing.

8. My words of encouragement if I had any were just to keep going with life. We’ve all been through alot in high school and it’s been hard but we’ve made it here so if we keep going how we are we can make it through college and then life. The attitude that I’ve been going with lately is I can. Remember think that you can because you can do anything.

9. Honestly that is all I have to say. I have my reflection of this class in my journal so I won’t talk about that but I just want to say thank you to everyone in this class and you Mrs. Fraser for making this such a fun class. I went into this class with such mixed emotions and I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy but I realized that I actually really did enjoy it. I’m going to miss it and I wish you all the best of luck!

Food for Thought

Food has always been good but I feel like it’s much better around the holidays when we are with our families. Food is always good but when eaten and shared with family, it just seems to taste better. Everyone is in a good mood, fun stories are being told, and we are with the people we love and trust. The holidays overall are just an amazing time to be with people and food just seems to tie it all together and polish off the great times that we have. Some of my favorite foods I like to eat during the holidays are mashed potatoes. Honestly holidays foods aren’t my favorite as some of the food I don’t really like. Although that doesn’t bring me down as it is the holidays which is about spending time with family having a joyful cheer, and helping others. My favorite food would probably have to be shrimp. There are so many different ways to make shrimp and I would probably like any way they are made. I also really like pizza because it is pizza who doesn’t like pizza. Cheese pizza is probably my favorite if I had to pick just because it’s nothing fancy yet it’s still really good. A food I don’t like would probably be onions. Not only do they smell terrible they just taste plain awful. No matter how they are made onions are a no go for me I can’t stand them. I really hope when I eat something someone cooked that it doesn’t have onions in it because I probably won’t like it but I don’t want to be mean. I sure have struggled to talk about food which is probably surprising because it’s a topic that most of us people love including myself. I’m not sure myself why I had trouble coming up with things for this blog post oh well. Food is good that’s a pretty good summary of how I feel.

Children's Book: Dragin On

Front Cover:

Title- Dragin On  Art- A blue dragon in the back right looking sad and a bright happy little kid using his hand to try and keep him going.

Page 1:

Randolph the blue dragon was past his glory time. He was once a magical flying dragon who was the savior of the land Przetaland. Although his latest defeat has left him as a no one as he has been forgotten in the land.

Page 2:

Darrell is a young boy who is always exploring new places in Pretzaland. His desire for adventure is off the charts as that’s just all he knows. Today he decided to be dareful and go out of the land limits even though he’s not supposed to.

Page 3:

Darrell, in territory he hadn’t seen, stumbled across this big cave and of course being himself he went into it to explore. What he saw was just dark up ahead except for a blueish glow deeper in the cave. He thought he had stuck diamonds and he would be rich!

Page 4:

Looking at his new “treasure”, Darrell ran up into although he heard a loud snoring. This blue glow was actually a blue thing and it was sleeping. Curious as to what it is he gave it a little push swooping it up off the ground.

Page 5:

What he saw next was a blue flying dragon whom he had scared. He told the dragon he won't hurt him as long as the dragon didn’t hurt him. After realizing this dragon was friendly he asked for his name. Randolph the dragon said I’m Randolph.

Page 6:

Randolph! Darrell thought that was that famous dragon I’ve heard all about from the past I thought he had disappeared for good. So he asked Randolph if he was that famous dragon and he told him yes I used to be the protector or Przetaland.

Page 7:

Randolph just wasn’t into talking to this little kid who had randomly come in his cave. He felt good though that kid knew him and thought of him as a legend when he was the protector. Although he just wanted to kid to leave he felt sad again remembering his good times.  

Page 8:

Darrell saw the sadness in Randolph and didn’t want to leave. He encouraged him to come back because he had been such a great guardian for Przetaland. Randolph didn’t want that as he think’s he’s just something lost and wouldn’t want to be wanted.

Page 9:

Randolph said fine I’ll go to the land with you although he was pretty scared to. Darrell was dragging him on as they left the cave saying it’s fine man you’re fine. Randolph said everyone was going to hate him and he shouldn't do this yet he kept going.

Page 10:

As they were flying into Przetaland, Randolph had memories of all the great times he had fought off evil here and so it made him happy but then he became sad again. As they were flying they saw land on fire!

Page 11:

It turns out the Red Dragons had started in invasion on poor Przetaland. They had no chance as this was so unexpected and those 3 dragons were going to burn the city down and take all of their money. Darrell told Randolph but he already knew exactly what to do.

Page 12:

Darrell riding on Randolph swooped into to stop the red dragons. They at first laughed because Randolph was a thing of a fast but once he already took out one of the dragons he knew they meant business. It was such a good fight but the land had enough time to help Randolph. They were able to take the 3 out and they scared them away.

Page 13:

The whole land was so happy as they were saved but a dragon they should've appreciated before. The whole town celebrated and Randolph was once again viewed as a hero for his actions and bravery.

Page 14:

There was a celebration for Randolph in the town and many people went up to him saying they wish they hadn’t of forgotten. Randolph enjoyed all this but had to give credit to his new friend he made Darrell, who is off on another adventure, for dragging him on.

I am going to look up images to use for my children's book on Google. I can't draw so that's what

I'm going to do but I will try to find good images about my type of book to use.

About the Blogger(Author)

Charles H’Doubler is 27 years old who lives in Springfield Missouri. He is from Springfield and went to college at Missouri State. He lives with his wife near the campus of Drury. He loves to play sports and normally he is a quiet person. He developed a passion for writing children's books because when he tutored at an elementary school he realized how fun children's books were so he decided to write them as a hobby. He then took it further as it was his favorite thing to do and here he is now.

A Great Children's Book

The Book is called The Day the Crayons came Home written by Drew Daywalt. There is no information about the author in this book which caught me by surprise. The cover of this book is a green crayon with a nap stack running over some cover of a book. This book was 35 pages so a good amount for a kids book. The characters in this book are Duncan who is the main characters and his different colored crayons. The settings change throughout the book because each crayon has a different story that they tell to Duncan in a letter of where they are. There’s a crayon on the beach one skiing down a mountain one just in the city they are everywhere. Basically Duncan is a kid growing older so he’s disregarding his crayons more and in response they leave and send him letters of what they are doing. Duncan realizes he misses them a lot and wants them to come back saying he shouldn’t of left them. They do come back and so he makes them a house with a place for each crayon. This book doesn’t rhyme, have animals as characters, have monsters or creatures, have adults as characters, have a lovely tone, have lots of words a page, or have one phrase repeated. What it does have is it teaches a lesson, have kids as characters, humor, illustrations, color, and actual photos. My favorite line from the book is “He built a place where each crayon would always feel at home”. I feel like this book is good for 4-8 year olds as it’s a book for starting out and kids really like crayons at that age. I would of liked this book as a kid because I really did like crayons so I would of enjoyed this.

The Childhood

These are some of the questions that I picked to talk about my childhood.

4. What friend did you have in childhood that grew away from you when you got older?

Well that friend was my old best friend from about 4th-7th grade and his name was Knighten. We were best of friends and hung out almost every single day as I would go over to his house after school. We did all sorts of things together like play video games and jump on the trampoline and it was honestly so much fun. I feel like we enjoyed just being funny and silly with each other you know being kids. I feel like the reason we aren’t best friends anymore is because when you get older different things and people distract you and we just weren’t having much fun anymore. We are still friends by all means we don’t hate each other but we are nowhere near close to those 3 years of being best friends.

11. Pick an age and start over from that age.

I feel like I’d start at 12 honestly. That was when I was unconfident and I didn’t have that many friends it seemed like. I decided to quit basketball as well because I didn’t think I was good enough and that was just the time in my life where I felt the worst. I was at my lowest point and sometimes I just didn’t even want to go to school. Things did later get better in high school as I meet some awesome people and I stand much better today than back then. Although I would definitely go back to 12 because that’s when I was at a low and this time I’d stay high and be confident and maybe now I would be different.

24. Describe something surprising about your childhood.

Well something that people probably won’t know is that I went through 2 head injuries that cracked my skull. It was a long time ago and it was on the head so it’s hard to tell but yes I did crack my head twice. The first time was me in about 1st grade and I jumped into the lake off the shore but the mistake I made was I dove and I dove right into a big rock causing a pretty big pain. I was taken to a local clinic and I remember the glued my head back together which thinking about it now may not of been the best idea because there are better options. I still have a mark today but it’s at the top of my head and my hair normally covers it up. The second time I cracked it was when I was playing with my sister in our play room and I tripped over her and my head split right onto the outer rim of the big drum in our drum set. That hurt so bad and it was bleeding pretty bad as well. I also got that glued together so again I avoided stitches. So yeah that’s what happened in my childhood.

38. What did you collect as a child?

I was a big collector of basketball cards growing up and I bought a lot of packs. I just really liked the idea of getting really cool and rare cards and that was my main goal of these cards. Also trying to get one of each card was a goal of mine but that’s just what I really liked about basketball cards. Also the fact basketball was my favorite sport and that’s what I played. I never did manage to get a super cool rare card but I still have a lot of different cards.

That’s my childhood pretty much wrapped up hoped it was a joy to read.

Real Life Dan

After watching the movie Dan In Real Life, there were a couple of questions that I answered from the movie. Overall this was a good movie but sometimes didn’t really pay attention just because I’m not a movie person.

7. Can you know in three days that you love someone?

I feel like that’s a no just because when it comes to love, 3 days is a very short amount of time. Someone you love is someone you want to spend the rest of your time with so it’s a very important person and only knowing the person for 3 days doesn’t really give you a good view of this person. It’s better to spend more time with them and wait longer to see if you would actually enjoy being with this person and if you do love them. But yeah 3 days is much too quick as you could just rush into a relationship and you could realize you don’t really like this person which could lead to future problems.

11. Where was your best hiding spot as a kid playing Hide and Seek?

My best hiding spot had to behing this chair that used to be in my mom’s room that’s in the corner. There’s a ton of stuff lying on it and around it so it’s kind of like it’s not even there. I used to be small enough to fit through everything and when I got back there it was like my own fort and I never seemed to be found when I hid in that spot. It was so good that once my sister couldn’t even find me and she freaked out and called my mom saying I had run away. We weren’t playing hide and seek but I was just mad about something you know classic little kid stuff. Yeah my sister wasn’t to happy when I came out as well as my mom but that hiding spot is so good. I was covered head to toe and there was pretty much no chance of finding me although I had to stay quiet. Those remind me of the good old days as a young kid.

17. Describe your perfect day.

My perfect day would start with me waking up at around 8 but I feel super refreshed because I got lots of sleep. I would then proceed to take a shower and have a very big breakfast of pancakes, fruit, and some bacon. Then after that I would probably get some basketball in with Steph Curry at his own private court. We would just be able to talk and play basketball till about 10 or so. I would then proceed to Hawaii where I would get some fun beach time on a nice and warm day. The water would be the perfect temperature and it would just be a lot of fun and falling into the water. At about noon I would be all dressed up and would go to a very cool tropical museum with lots of colorful fish and wildlife. Then at about 1 I’d have a very good lunch probably seafood because I do really like shrimp. I’d probably eat with Josh Peck just because he’s super funny. After that at around 2 I would then proceed to play video games of any kind I want. I’d get some good video game time in and would probably play with my friends Matt, and Kevin. Then at around 4 I would probably play some tennis just with friends, no one famous. Tennis is my 2nd favorite sport behind basketball. Then at around 5 I’d probably just lay down in a hammock with a great view of Hawaii while listening to some of my music. I may doze off for a bit as it’s just a time to relax and enjoy nature. Then around 6:30 I’d eat dinner although I don’t know what of. Just something else that I really like is what I’d eat. Then at about 8 to wrap up the day would just be a nice party with my friends and there would be a cool fireworks at the end. That’s probably my perfect day.

22. “Life is full of disappointment” Do you think that’s true? How do you deal with disappointment?

I feel like life is full of disappointment. I mean it’s not all disappointment there’s also positive things as well but disappointment is for sure there. There are things in life that won’t go in our way and I mean that’s just how life is. Life is not easy and there will be good things but there will also be disappointments. Life is full of disappointment as well as happiness. I deal with disappointment by doing things I enjoy or talking to the people I trust the most which includes my sister, my friends, and my parents. Things will get better you just need to have the mindset and not stay down about something for too long.

30. Are you a good bowler?

I wouldn’t say I’m a “good” bowler but I’m for sure not really bad. I normally bowl around 100 so I

mean that’s OK right. I will admit I’ve had a game or 2 where I’ve bowled like 30 or so but I’ve had a

game where I bowled like 130 so I’m pretty inconsistent. Bowling isn’t like a passion of mine but it is

for sure something that I do enjoy for fun. It’s just a fun sport to play with your friends and to have a

good laugh and be able to just relax.

Movie Quotes

Star Wars:


Dumb and Dumber:
"Petey bird, little petey bird."

Ferris Bueller's Day Off;

Lights, Camera, Blog

My favorite movie would probably be Star Wars just because I really like the whole idea of what the series is. The scenes that are in those movies are some of the coolest scenes I’ve ever seen and it’s a movie that can actually capture and hold my attention. I am not a movie person normally because they are just too long and it’s hard to sit for that long if I’m not interested in it. Although there are some movies like Star Wars that I actually want to sit down and watch so that’s why it’s my favorite movie. I don’t care for scary movies as they legit scare the living daylights out of me. The reason I can’t handle scary movies is the fact that I feel like this stuff will happen to me in real life so that’s why I get so scared and never want to watch them. I know that I will probably grow out of this fear but still at this moment I can not handle scary movies. I hardly watch movies if ever for the reason mentioned before. When I watch a movie it’s normally with my family just at a movie theater doesn’t really matter where to me though. I’d like to have a comfy seat when watching movies just so I’m relaxed because being un-comfy during a movie is never ok. If possible I like putting my feet up on the chair in front of me if no ones around that seat as it just helps stretch my legs out so I’m not that crammed.  An additional bonus is having popcorn because popcorn is very good. I love having popcorn at a movie but it’s not something necessary that I need. According to that survey I am more emotionally stable and open to new experiences. This survey didn’t really affect me because I don’t care about movies but I guess it’s good to know that I’m emotionally stable. It also showed like what I’m like when it comes to movies but I didn’t read that so yeah. If my life was made into a movie I’d probably have Matt be me because he knows me well and will fit the part nicely. Some plot events would be when I cracked my head open, when I went on vacation to California, when I cracked my head open the 2nd time, and lastly a basketball game where I hit the game winner and felt amazing. It would have a happy ending as it would show me(Matt), walking down the road seeming all happy because I do have a good life and I’m happy to be living it. That is all I have to say about movies.

Haunted Houses Aren't My Thing

It was a Saturday night just a couple of days before Halloween and I immediately knew this was a huge mistake. As the car pulled into the parking lot, my stomach was turned inside out. I got out of the car and walked over with my friend RJ and his family. He had invited me to do this earlier in the day and I didn’t want to seem like a wimp so I said yes.

We got up to the line which seemed like a mile long but that was just more time I didn’t have to go into this place yet. It was super dark out or at least it felt like it to me but that line just started getting shorter super quick, to quick for me. My legs felt like jelly as that house got closer and closer but yet I tried to look calm and fine on the outside. Anyways it was time we finally made it to the house it what felt like 10 seconds and as we entered in I could hear screams and just scary sounds all around. I am not a scary person KI get so scared because I feel like it’s going to happen to me in real life. Anyways we started walking as I tried to stay right in the middle of the group to be the safest. It wasn’t to bad at first as it was just kinda scary props with a little bit of light but once we hit the next area that’s when I really got scared.

I made it and realized it’s not that bad besides the dark part. I felt so relieved and just ready to go home. To this day I still haven’t gone to a haunted house since that moment about 5 years ago.

Iconic Photo

There are many iconic things that have happened in the twenty first century. There was a lot of good pictures that showed this but the one I connected to the most was a dog being hugged by his owner as they found her in the rubble of his house that was torn down by a tornado. The way he’s hugging her and the reaction on his face just really connects to me because I feel like that’s how I would react if my dog got out safely after something like that. I would be so relieved because I love my dog and would be crushed if he was killed so I understand that guys reaction. This kind of connects to an event that happened to me when my old dog got hit by a car. I was very young and I don’t remember to much of it but it was a very scary moment for our family. We were very lucky she was alive although her leg was broken and had to be repaired. If I was older I would of been holding her like the guy is holding his dog in that picture. That is why this picture connects to me because I really do love dogs. It just touches my heart and makes me think if it was my dog I’d do the same thing.

Old Folk Story Time

It was a very, very nice day out in the town of Richmond Virginia. The sun was shining the sky was a wonderful blue, there was a small little breeze in the air which made for the perfect day. Young little Ronald Cooper was a boy who loved to play outside. Today was just the day he was looking for as it had been rainy the past couple days. He had to hurry thought because church was starting soon so he made sure he got up early. It was summer so there was no school and he wanted to play as much as he could. So today as Ronald was running out in the field he saw something in the distance he never had noticed before. Being a curious little rascal he ran over there just to come up to tree. Although this tree has apples on it yummy fresh looking apples. It was also very low to the ground right there for him to pick one so he did. He took a big bite out of it and enjoyed himself a nice ripe apple. When he was done he got up although everything around him had changed like he was in a new universe. There was no field, no cattle, no anything, there was nothing from the life he knew. He was on another planet in his mind. With no idea what to do, he ran around seeing all these weird creatures although they were friendly. He actually enjoyed being here in this random world. It was a nice society and the creatures were friendly so there was no reason to leave. The sky was a dark blue purple color and just a bunch of square and very tall buildings. After all this exploring he picked up a piece of the red grass all around but was very tired and next thing he knew he had fallen asleep. He woke up to his older brother telling him to wake up he was going to be late for church. Everything was normal like nothing had happened although in his hand was that little thin piece of red grass.

This sort of looks like a face It's got eyes and a bird nose. Good enough for me considering there was like nothing else. #doorface

This was a big book series for me in middle school. It's a very weird but also pretty cool book and this is my favorite from the series. #middleschool

Seriously I can't use this door I mean sometimes there's good reasons but sometimes people do just because. #schoolproblems

This painting is so nice and I just really like it. It has so many colors and just a great overall feel to it. #iwishicouldpaintlikethat

This reminds me of Kickapoo because it shows how I got there and I remember seeing it on one of my first days. #thecomeup

This such a beauty of nature. The trees are so vibrant and add great color to the overall picture. #nature

This right here is a kid's dream. A dinosaur is a thing that kids love and they would love this. #kidlife
 

This here is a interesting angle If i do say so myself. This is actually quartz but still it looks weird. #weirdshapes

This is a very rounded shape as it is a globe. This shows everything on Earth. #scientist

To end it this is my good friend Kevin who always makes me laugh. Like in this picture. #Kevintoswaggy

Nighthawks

It’s just been a good night out at the dinner with his buddies. Lots of fun, poker, good food and just a night to enjoy. There was lots of chatter between the men mainly about the poker game. Chips were flying and cards were being put down on the table and the sound of laughter filled the dinner. That all disappeared and seemed like the energy just got sucked into a drain when a women came in screaming about some guys going around town robbing people. Everyone was a little shocked but no one really cared and the mood started to become what it was. Angry at the lack of help, the man grabbed his hat got up and went over to the very paranoid women and said I’ll take a look at this. As he walked out of that dinner it had turned very cold outside but he was ok with the coat he had. He could hear screaming just a little bit down the street and so he walked over to what was happening. What he saw was something he didn’t expect to see but it was three creepy clowns running out of a house with what looked like jewelry and money. Clowns? He thought clowns should be a piece of cake this won’t be very hard. Although those clowns were very fast and pretty creepy but he charged up and grabbed one telling him to give the stuff back that they had stolen. The other clowns saw their friend in trouble so they rushed over to help. Although the man was to fast and to strong he had all three of the clowns on the ground. They knew they had no chance so they gave up and he was able to get all the stuff back. Bystanders who had watched him all cheered and called him the best detective ever. Although he thought I didn’t solve any mystery but I guess I’m dressed like one ah why not I’ll go with it.

Window Poem

Straight ahead I see lots of trees

To the left I can see my neighbor's backyards

Although today there was no sun shining in the sky

But still I love the view that my window provides me everyday

Other small things I notice are the crisp leaves

That get blown off the trees and onto the ground

Last and not least way off in the distance stand a lonely field

With an old torn down farm and a couple of cows

The Artsy Painting

The picture that I had was honestly a pretty simple picture. It seemed like it was located at like a park because there was a couple trees with a nice view of what looked like a sunset. It honestly reminded me just of relaxation and place to be able to watch the sunset, or sunrise. I love beautiful scenery and that is exactly what the sun can do. The way the light can be along with the clouds makes a very, and you could say perfect, wonderful picture. One of my favorite things to do is to get a picture of the sunset or sunrise if it’s really nice. Also just being able to look at it and see all the beauty it brings with it is stunning. Also this picture reminded me of being a little kid just being able to run around freely and just play. This picture seems like an ideal place to do just that. It’s a nice open field of green with a couple trees it’s just a place to escape. Although now that I’ve grown older, there’s not much room to do that stuff anymore because we all have to grow up. It is very fun to look back at those memories and how crazy we could of been as a kid. Anyways I really did like that picture as it was a simple picture and honestly I live my life pretty simply. This was a good picture for me and I did really enjoy the scenery it brought with it as I am a person who does like color as it can indeed print nice pictures in my mind.

The sunset so high

Lots of natural beauty lies

A place to escape

The Dose Paintings

Galatea of the Spheres

The spheres over the face show the true thought

Creating a wavy image like how the mind works

Colors so vibrant the blue creating the scene

The painting itself has life in it

The person inside trying to say something to us

But not a clue what it means

It’s like it’s trying to speak trying to say

Although those spheres keep the words locked up

Just trying to mess with our mind, get into our head

Then all of a sudden it's just a painting, a normal painting

The Persistence of Memory

Hanging by a cliff everything feels different

It’s hard to tell but it just doesn’t feel right

Random clocks all of a sudden all around

They begin to melt just melt

It’s not even hot it’s more of a cooler feeling

It makes no sense it’s like as the clocks are melting time is stopping

If the clocks melt to a liquid there will be no time

Although there is nothing to do but watch

Watch as time fades away tick tock tick tock

And just like that it's dark as the clocks now read no time
