sometimes i get glimpses of it
waiting on the bus stop, before i go to sleep at night, in the middle of the day
the wait a minute can it be? yep this feels like normalcy
but then i wake up and it's hot, so hot
writing unrhyming poetry in my head that has no meaning
maybe these short glimpses are as good as it gets
Since the beginning of high school I've been looking for scholarships. I tried playing sports, but I didn't really like the only sport I was good at that much (Cross Country racing).
I usually hate entering in the abortion debate, since it's rather clear that we have two sets of people who will not budge from their positions. But, this particular aspect of the debate just fueled my fury.
He's my older brother, half brother actually, beause he's from my dad's first marriage. His name is Martin.
Now, I must admit, I know that reading was never really on the Top Ten List of Things Kids Love To Do. But I never really understood why. I'm just gonna say it- I'm a book worm. I currently own more than 400 books and I've read hundreds more. But this obsession is deeply rooted in the fiber of my being (its not just a simple passtime). My mother read books to me from the time I was an infant.
I recently finished the book "War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning" by Chris Hedges for the second time. It is an infinitely interesting account of a war correspondent's experiences in war-torn countries, but it is also infinitely disturbing. Even the title itself makes me shy away, not wanting to believe what I'm reading and this continues through the entire book.
Constitutional rights are a funny thing- not in the “ha ha” sense, but in the sense of strange. They are in the Constitution to prevent the government from infringing on the natural rights of citizens that make democracy possible.
Well, summer's almost over, and most kids are dragging their feet in anticipation of the new year. Or are they?
Most of my friends that I've talked to recently have admitted, if grudgingly, that they are actually looking forward to the first day of school. I must say, I'm ECSTATIC that school is just around the corner. And I think I know the source of this phenomenon- BOREDOM.
