Alright, if you have never listened to the lyrics of Viva La Vida by Coldplay, read them now. They are so deep!
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses. -Jean Cocteau

Oh Poetry.....
Fire and Ice
By Robert Frost
By Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Apology of Sincerity
So this is a rhyme that I wrote to my friend.
I'm sorry I punched you in the sternum,
But sometimes when it comes to hits, you earn 'em.
I didn't mean to cause a bruise,
But you should have known about my short fuse.
Now you know, when I give you that look,
you better duck, or you'll get a right hook.

2.The Dog, The Squealing, and Little Blue
So does everybody reading this know how to drive a stick-shift? They are incredibly impossible. I had to drive a stick-shift to school today, and what a hassle. I guess its important to know how to drive one just in case, but i would be leaping with joy if i never had to drive one again. My adventure today begins with me driving to school today. More like home from school. On my merry way, there was a strange noise coming from somewhere inside my car, and so i was trying to shift myself in the car so i could locate where that strange sound was coming from. I turned down my ipod, and started leaning to the left and the right so i could detect it, and the squeaking noise got louder and more high pitched. It sounded like a bomb was about to go off in my car, and lets just say i was a tad frightened. This time I leaned forward because it sounded kind of like it was coming from the hood, and i lean against the horn.
Now, my horn is very cute. Like a little "beep beep" that you'd hear from a car much like Herbie. But today, thats not what i heard. It was probably the loudest thing ever, and i screamed so hard and long, i think i bust a lung. At that very moment, a small black dog ran across the road in front of me. Now thank you guardian angle, because i surely would have died if you had not make that dog run any faster. I swear, the next time i drive, it will not be by choice. Oh, and that squeaking noise? I haven't the foggiest.

1. Probation.
Now this isnt what you think it is. Its really not. Well, maybe it is, because i cant read minds. But i had a recent folly. Now let me tell all you people that curfews are very important things. VERY important. BUT if your daughter(or son) happens to break that curfew, go easy on them. So it started at the football game, i had a pretty good time, as good as you can have where your football team gets slaughtered repeatedly. But all of the side shows were cool. Like the cheers and the marching band. Anyway, i was only a few minutes late, and i am suffering house arrest so no interesting stories as of yet.
