1) writing this personal essay has really allowed me to grasp a better concept of bringing my personal experiences to life through words. It was really cool playing around with the diferent descriptions of physical, personal and emotional tools, attempting to bring the reader in my head. I like this more than fiction because I have already lived this experience, and I am able to bring it to life through my experience. It is as if the blueprint has been set, and I just need to do the interior design.
2) The reason reading is so important is because you are able to intake diferent techniques and styles of writers, and understand how writers are able to bring the story to life through the emotional/physical conflict and character/plot development through great/unique description and comparison. The writer would have no inspiration/drive to develop his/her skills. Reading is to writing as food is to a child. Reading doesn't only help writers survive in the literary world, but it helps them grow and succeed.
3) My favorite piece by far was the poem writing section. I view poem/song writing as an art, and a good song can move the world. There is such power within such a short piece, I don't have the literary skills/attention span to sit down and perfect a novel, but I sure as hell can write a kick ass song. My favorite piece that I've written is on my blog, it is called "One Leaf Down Tonight" and I have recorded it and it is really a descent song in my eyes. The play writing was definitely the most challenging because at the time I had no interest in writing plays. I had no motivation to write it and I couldn't think of solid dialogue to make it good. I kind of winged it, and it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't that great. I have definitely come away with a greater understanding/ appreciation for plays....which is very hard in todays world with all the technology/special effects/realism of the movies.

Whirlwinds
Meaning comes, from the soul within
Time put on pause from these whirl winds.
And I have the power to unlock the door,
But I'm a damn coward with my knees on the floor.
All we are, and all we've been
Is time fallin' slowly off this mountains edge
All we are, and all we've been
Is a predetermined destine in these whirlwinds.
Caught between the lines of now and then...
Well there once was a boy, walkin' down a dirt road.
In a cloud of dust, his cries rose above.
With tears in his eyes, pure sorrow he bleed.
Unto the unknown, he walked and he said.
Hey nah nah, oh mama.
Please save me naw naw,
From above.
Deliver me, unto your Kingdom come.
Let thy will be done,
And your song be sung.
Unto Your Kingdom come.
Now I'm walkin' down that same road.
People talkin', erasing the old.
I look up to the sun above,
And pray that her warmth
Will fill my empty cup with love.
But the rains they came, along with the winds.
A hurricane took all with him.
And now theres this boy, walking down a dirt road.
Cursin' the heavens, he's just a child but he's bold.
All we are, and all we've been
Is time slowly fallin' off this mountains edge
All we are, and all we've been
A predetermined destine in these whirlwinds.
Caught between the lines of now and then.
He said, I'm just a pebble lost within this tide.
With the nasty little devil who conducts the ride.
And at night, he strangles every last breath
Of a weary day unto her icy death.
I have the power to unlock the door,
But I'm a damn coward with my knees on the floor.
Hey nah nah, Oh mama.
Please save me naw naw from above.
Deliver me, unto your kingdom
Let thy will be done,
And your song be sung,
Unto your kingdom come...
Can you feel it? I can feel it now.
The love that is all around.
Can you feel it? I can feel it now.
Let us walk as one,
Unto your kingdom come...

unexcitingly pointless blog post
1. What is one principle that guides you in life? This may be something you are consciously aware of as a force in your life, or it could be something unintentional. Some examples of guiding principles could be "I value education," "I value family above everything else," or "I won't be happy without money." There is no condemnation for your guiding principle. State your principle, then explain how it shapes your life. Also talk about why that is a guiding principle and why it is important to you. Write at least 100 words.
One principle that guides me by the hand in my life is kindness to everybody. I value people as individuals and unique bringing different qualities unto my life. I rub off on everyone I meet, and everyone I meet rubs off on me. I have a hard time competing because I have a hard time getting past the fact that everyone has their own unique talents and desires in life.
2. What is one news event from the past year or so that has had some sort of impact on you, changed the way you viewed the world, or made you think. Explain what the event was and take us through the process of how it changed you. Write at least 75 words about it.
When I heard Jamie Lynn Speares was prego with an unwedded loser I asked myself, what is this world coming to? Why is this the biggest story of the month? I find it a pretty stupid stupid story. There are so many more issues to learn about rather than how screwed up the Speares sisters are. I am in awe, and speachless to the meaningless drama molded in society's pointless lifestyle.
3. What is one thing you hope to accomplish in 2008? Talk about why it is so important to you, as well as how you want to accomplish it. Write at least 100 words about it. If you can't say anything more about what you want to accomplish, write about other things to help you write more.
I hope to maintain my chiseled abs. I will not eat, and when I do I will puke it up in the bathroom. I will literally take a hammer and chizzle to my beautiful body to maintain my sculpt. I will apply oil to my abs daily to make them sparkle and glisten in the sun. I will periodically remove my shirt to show off my sparkling abs. I will be constantly flexing my abs, for perfect tone. Then, I will ask Eric Wangongu daily to punch my rock bod as hard as he can, and then we will see who's hurting more prior to that violent act.
