7/7/07

Happy Lucky 7 Saturday people! I day like this deserves some decluttering, so why not declutter your digital life here?

I was at a nearby Art Walk yesterday. There were so many cool things to see! I displayed some of my work too at the senior center. There was a mariachi band at the nearby Mexican restaurant, filling the air with cultural paraphernalia.

So I'm feeling happy and lucky today. It's really an honor to live during 7/7/07, a date that only comes once every hundred years or so. I do have a cold, which made this day a little boring and...gross. I've had it for a week and it just won't go away!

OK, I'm finding it hard to get stuff to talk about. Did you hear about how this one company supposedly created "free energy?" Turns out there hasn't been a working demonstration yet. Steorn just either has to get to work or admit it's a flop. My opinion on whether tearing the laws of physics is possible or not is fairly unbiased. I want free energy to be true, but it might not, but it's possible they could have done it, but they might have not, but...see? A never-ending cycle.

Time to play Yahtzee! I'm feeling lucky!

Art Club Fun! Painting Fun! Blogging Fun! Forum Fun!

I strongly regret not posting for the last few days. I've been busy with the Art Walk, homework, and reading. But I'm back!!! I think.

The Art Walk was pretty fun last Friday. I saw all kinds of artwork and got good comments about mine. Art's really something I enjoy. I'll share some of my stuff in a little while. In the mean time, I'm gonna talk about poems.

Poetry's cool.

There. I said it.

Anyways, I'm getting info about the Civil War shoved down my throat. I have to admit it's slightly intriguing, but not "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" intriguing.

Guess what? I'm really going to talk about poetry now! Woohoo!

So we're doing a poetry unit in school right now. "Okay, cool," you say. But inside you're thinking "I hate poetry." If you're not, I congradulate you. Here are some of my most recent poems. I hope they're good enough for your eyes.

Space

What is space like?
A vast emptiness?
As empty as the unlit moon?
As empty as a thief’s soul?
The stars in the sky surround me in the night
Little spotlights all focused on me…
As if I were some sort of center of the universe


Troublesome Trouble

Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you
Many times I have heard this
The only thing is that trouble hasn’t troubled me yet
So I haven’t troubled trouble and
I don’t plan on troubling trouble for a long time
I may never trouble trouble
Because what has trouble done to me?


Paper

A blank sheet of paper can hold many mysteries
With pencil in hand, I form curves and delicate patterns
For many to behold
Cross-hatching and shading
Astonishing details
And while specific angles continue the realism,
Depth’s illusion runs rampant
Across this thin sheet of bleached wood.
In reality, a sheet of paper is a window into the imagination
For people to observe and admire and think,
“Now that’s a pretty picture.”


Language

One day language spoke out to me
I used to just know it was free
I learned it persuades
And gives me good grades
I consider it now as a key

Tada!

Also this is a really cool forum, created by the animator and voices of Charlie the Unicorn. It's snazztastic! http://www.filmcow.net/forums/

P.S. The title bar at the top of the window in the forum changes every week or so. 640!!!
