I’ve been thinking…

about a lot of things, actually. Mostly about summer time and the nearing end of school.

My summer bucket list:

  • Hijack  a car (check)
  • Have a dance party in the street (check)
  • Forget everything I have learned in school this year (check)
  • Move to my own private island
  • Get a job…ugh…
  • Think of a job to apply for (pending)
  • Set up a major Slip-n-Slide
  • Slide down it
  • Star Wars Marathon!
  • Bike race with my dad!!

Inspiration

Every time I look for inspiration, I can’t find it. Every time I happen upon it, I forget to use it. Why is that so?

Well, here I am again, looking for inspiration…again…not able to find it…again.

Man, I should write these things down in the future.


Isn’t it interesting…

how time just flies so quickly,

how this school year is rapidly

coming to a close?

Where did time go?

Where does time go?

I think it goes to Facebook.


Oratory

In debate this year, I had the opportunity to write a 10-minute oratory, memorize it, and present it to my judges as part of my competition. They judged me based on my content and presentation. I ended up taking fourth in state with it.

Oratory–Conviction

Just a note, I changed it a little every time. Also, it is dedicated to Tanisha Barker–a great debater who would always get nervous when she spoke.


The Stupid Boy

The Stupid Boy

Yeah, some days I feel like this. Most definitely.


One for All

In this epitaph, One for All, inspiration came to me after (as cliché  as it sounds) a dream I had about a little boy. I could not do anything to help him; however, in the end of my dream, as I draped flowers over his grave, I realized I wasn’t supposed to help him. In fact, he helped me; he helped all the future children by bringing attention to this serious problem.


Blanket

Blanket

I hope you never feel like this, but I think we all do or will at one point or another.


What’s in a Name?

Name Poetry

This is what’s in my name.


A is for Attitude

A is for Attitude

I love the contrast of light and dark (even if it was not as subtle in this poem). This was a just-for-fun poem in Janka form.


The Contingency

The Contingency

This was inspired by Mandy Boully’s oratory. I hope you can understand it.
