Halloween

Tommorow is halloween and I am very excited. A girl in my grade is having a party and a lot of people will be there. Costumes are required and I am going to be "Rocky Balboa" a boxer from the famous Rocky movies. 10 years ago tommorow, I would have been more excited than ever to hit the streets with my pillow case and fill it up until I puke. Now, it is different, no more candy, no more pillowcases just a bunch of high-schoolers gathering in a house for a party. I always ask myself... why is it when smoeone answers the door and sees a kid that is out of middle school and asks "aren't you a little old for this"? sadly but truely we have grown out of it and i wish we could go back.

Tennis Racquet

I am getting all new tennis racquets. This is wierd for me! I have played with the same racquet for a while but like i said in an earlier blog my wrist is injured. i believe my racquet is the culprit for my injury. I will give this new racquet a shot and hopfully i like it a lot.

Playing with Poetry

Part 1

LOVE

Love is like hole,
Always fall into it,
Hard to get out,
Sometimes deep,
Sometimes Shallow.
Unexpected,
Love lacks lusciousness,
One rough bump and it could be over,
Love is Pure,
Love is forever,
Never leaving my side,
Always wondering what will happen next.
Love is Love.

Part 2

LOVE

Love is like a hole,

Always fall into it,

Hard to get out,

Sometimes Sweet,

Sometimes Shallow.

Unexpected,

Love lacks lusciousness,

One rough bump and it could be over,

Love is Pure,

Love is forever,

Never leaving my side,

Always wondering what will happen next.

Love is Love.

I am very stoked that it is MEA next weekend. It is a great time in the school year for a break. I can hang out with my family, play football, play tennis and sleep. I have a tennis tournament at Gustavus Adolphus College and am excited for it. I havent been playing too much because i injured my wrist but i should be ready to go. I am also just plain and simple excited to sleep. I am very excited to have these two days off of school!!

Emily Dickinson
22

I gave myself to him,
And took himself for pay.
The solemn contract of a life
Was ratified this way
The value might disappoint,
Myself a poorer prove
Than this my purchaser suspect,
The daily own of Love
Depreciates the sight;
But, 'til the merchant buy,
Still fabled, in the isles of spice
The subtle cargoes lie.
At least, 'tis mutual risk,—
Some found it mutual gain;
Sweet debt of Life,—each night to owe,
Insolvent, every noon.

I chose this poem because of the catchy title, 22 made me want to read on. I think the descriptors are very intruiguing.

THe title is about someone owing 22 dollars to buy and recieve goods and such...

One maetaphor is the "sweet debt of life" it is comparing life and debt. She uses imagery when she says "the subtle cargoes lie" bacause she paints an image in the readers head. They create a feeling by having the readers thinking of what it is this person is actually buying.

It is a dull, imaginery tone. I said above the examples of imagery.

Love is Like a...

May if feel said he(I'll squeal said shejust once said he)it's fun said she(May I touch said heHow much said sheA lot said he)Why not said she(Let’s go said heNot too far said sheWhat’s too far said heWhere you are said she)May I stay said he(Which way said sheLike this said heIf you kiss said sheMay I move said heIs it love said she)if you're willing said he(But you're killing said sheBut its life said heBut your wife said sheNow said he)ow said she(Tiptop said heDon’t stop said sheOh no said he)Go slow said she(cccome? said heummm said he(You are Mine said she)



I think this is a very graphic poem and very funny. The author portrays love in a very sexual and inappropriate manner. He uses it to show how sex feels and sounds like saying "she squeal said he".



Love is like a snake. It is windy and can go in an unexpected direction at any given moment. It turns when there is a fight and turns when people are attracted to each other.

Minnesota Twins

I am a very big minnesota twins fan and have always been one. This week they have the biggest series of the season, they play the Chicago White Sox. If the twins sweep them they go a half game up with 3 games left. if the white sox sweep we are basically done. I have tickets to Tommorows game, if we win i might go but if we dont i will probably give the tickets away. I really hope we win and can go to the playoffs.
