where will I be?

Next semester I will be here and the semester after that too. Hopefully, I will be done with taking classes and have my own class. As a writer, I will be able to write a more fluent paper, in my upcoming classes. I have always had this dream to write children books. Who knows, maybe one day I will or have a poem published again.

The peeing at a different height does make a gross sound. Why can't men just pee sitting down, then it wouldn't be so loud to where you can hear it in the other room and they wouldn't have aiming problems. Less clean up:)

Killing Yourself to Live review

I enjoyed this book. Its not everyday you find an author that is straight forward and willing to tell you like it is. I found him to be refreshing and a change for once. I would like to pick up his next book to read.
One thing I had trouble with was reading and stopping every week. I would have rather read the book through the semester by a deadline. It was hard to read and get back into it after a week of not reading it.
Strength was that it was a new type of book for me, I would not have chosen this book if I was in the store. I'm glad I had to read it, I have recommended it for my sister-in-law to read. I enjoyed the brutal honesty of things and being able to have a glimpse of someone day to day life.

My favorite monster is Frankenstein. I remember watching the movie Monster Squad when I was younger. I loved the part when the little boy says, "I kicked Frankenstein in the nards, Frankenstein doesn't have any nards."

The Water Flows

My life is confusing,but amusing.
A laugh, a cry, a smile, and a goodbye!
Everything comes and everything goes.
The day passes as the wind blows.

My life is amusing, but confusing.
A laugh, a cry, a smile, and a goodbye!
Everything goes, it's just the way the water flows.

My body is a mystery, but different.
A smile, and a fear.
Everything comes and everything goes,
thats just the way the wind blows.

The days pass, and the wind blows and more fears flow.
A final cry, and a final goodbye!
Love never wins,
In a world of sins.

The day passes, a flower grows, one more petal to that beautiful rose.
A final raindrop and a final whilt to die.
No one likes to say goodbye!
No one knows just exactly why,
But its something that makes me cry.


What inspired me was life and my husband. Sometime you just feel as if nothing you do is right.
Challenges I faced was I think coming up with what to write. After that it was easy.
I overcome this by thinking of things I need to get off my chest. I love to write poetry. I use to write it all the time.

LISTEN

Here I am
Lying here broken
On the cold wet ground

I speak
No one can hear me
I am here
Listen to me

Does my voice matter?
Im down on the ground

Im not weak
I need to be HEARD!

29. Regrets for things lost (iftiqad)

but regret will not bring it back.
Nothing left to do but turn your

back on it. Tell yourself when you
know where something is

then it is not lost, even though
that something lie at the

bottom of the ocean. Nothing
ever is lost, & that may be

the only thing that is
real cause for regret.

Its been a hard day. I had to wake up, eat and get my diaper changed. What a day! this is what I call relaxing in my birthday suit. Sitting back and enjoying the weather. All I need is a bottle in my hand.

Rainbow Stilt skin

The king decided to walk through his kingdom while looking at the great pride his servants took in their work. The king ran into a miller who was very poor. He said to the king, "I have a daughter who is not the prettiest maiden in the land." The king looked at the miller with surprise and said, "She can make chocolate out of straw." The king was hesitant with the notion of straw being turned into chocolate. He thought and thought. Finally, he realized that if this maiden could spin the straw into chocolate, he would have the finest delicacies in the land. He took the maiden at once. Beauty did matter if he were to decide to keep this maiden for himself.Once inside the castle, the king took the maiden into the dark tower in the back of the castle. The king instructed the maiden to turn the straw into chocolate at once. Teary eyed and confused, the maiden did not know what to do. She sat and weeped until a funny little man dressed in pink tights, purple cape, elf shoes and a straw hat appeared in sight. At a loss for words, the maiden just stared trying not to laugh. Building up courage the maiden asked, " Who are you?" " My name is Rumpelstiltskin, that's who I am." He said with a little giggle. "I am here to help you spin this straw into chocolate." The maiden was excited. But knew she would need to give him something in return. "What will you need of me?" she said Rumpelstiltskin said, I will need your yellow tights and dress. The maiden agreed with confusion. Morning came, and the king was delighted with the taste of the chocolate. "I will be the most prized king in all the land." The king turned to the maiden and said, “Follow me.” He took her into another room with more straw and said, " By morning I want this straw turned into chocolate and I will give your father gold bricks." The maiden was overwhelmed with joy for her father to have gold. The maiden sat in the corner and weeped once again because she did not know how to turn straw into gold. The little man appeared with her yellow dress on. "I will turn this straw into chocolate if you give me your shoes." The maiden looked at the little man with a peculiar look and agreed. Once again, the little man turned the straw into the finest chocolate around. The king was ecstatic. He immediately took the maiden to the highest room in the tower and presented her with more straw. If you turn this straw into chocolate I will wed you and make you my queen. The maiden was delighted with this notion. She would be queen. With such joy she did not see the little man known as Rumpelstiltskin in the room. The maiden said, “I will be queen if I can turn this straw into chocolate." Rumpelstiltskin nodded and replied,” If I turn this straw into gold you will have to cut your hair and turn it into a wig for me to complete my look." Confused and amused at the same time, the queen agreed. The little man turned the straw into chocolate as promised. The next morning as the sun came up and the king came in. The king said,” I will marry you at once, for you have made the finest chocolate in all the kingdom.”
