So its summer and most people are partying and out of town, except for me. Im lonely at home, im finally at my house!! My parents came back from Mexico and im really happy. But its really boring to be at home and not be able to do anything but cook, clean, and watch tv and once in a while talk to some close friends. I wish some of my friends would come and visit me at my house... See ya, Peace out, Have fun.
Later,

I Don't Wanna Say Ggoodbye..Yet
Whoever said that this is the end, they were wrong. This is sort of the end for a new beggining. I know that i will miss each and everyone of you but i know that i will see some of you in the summer and next year as sophmores.
I dont wanna say goodbye yet, but i will only sya it temporarily. There are so many things unsaid and so little time so I'll be brief. I want to thank a couple people before i say goodbye.
I wanna thank Mr.Locke for being a cool nice teacher that made learning fun. I remember meeting you in the summer and telling myself that i wanted you to be my teacher. I will never forget you or the coca cola dance.
I also want to thank the following people:
Olivia- for being one of my best friends who showed me how to have fun.
Bogar- for being there when i needed you and for being one of my best friends that helped me with my good and bad situations.
Daisy- for being a creative person
Gelena- for being sponky and crazy
M&M- for being my friend since elementary
Elizabeth- for being a cool friend for 3 years.
Manuel - for being one of my closests friends that helped me realize good and bad things and for being there when i needed advice.
I want to thank Mr. Hayes also for letting me have a couple of free refreshments and for letting us have fun as well as learn some stuff in your class.
So now i can say goodbye. I know i will miss each and everyone of you but i will never forget you. I will remember all memories that we made. "Seniors O8 " keep in touch.

Grendel
So Grendel is a pretty good book, i liked it because Grendel has a mind and thoughts. Im actually in favor of him. I know Mr. Locke, we're not supposed to be in favor of a monster that eats innocent people, but you can't argue that the good imagery descriptions of the bloody gushy dead bodies isn't appealing.
Lets start a creative discussion people, in other words a debate over who's in favor of who and why. Anyways to the book.
"I Knew, in those days, only my mother really looked at me. --Stared at me as if to consume me, like a troll. She loved me, in some mysterious sense I understood without her speaking it." (17)
This made me feel sorry for him in a sense that he's lonely and only his mother loves him.
" I understood that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears." (22) This is a motif in the book. Grendel always speaks of someone having mechanical characteristics. " they moved like one creaturehugestrange machine" (155)
I like chapter five because Grendel meets The Dragon, which tells him to do what ever he wants because it doesn't matter. I love the philosophy of the dragon. Which is to live life as you please without thinking of consequences. " Things come and go. Thats the gist of it. In a billion billion billion years, everything will have come and gone several times, in various forms." (70) What the dragon is saying its "meaningless", it's "a swirl in the stream of time." (70)
In chapter six Grendel notices that the dragon put a charm on him, he couldnt be defeated with any weapons, but that was soon to change when Beowulf came from the Geat land to slay Grendel. Beowulf told Hrothgar that he would fight with Grendel without any weapons. And may the best fighter win. I think that Beowulf was trying to be fair, because Grendel has the same power as Beowulf and it wouldn't be fare if Beowulf fought with a weapon. They both have the strength of 30 men in each arm.
Too bad that Beowulf won the fight and kept a suveniere. But in a way i believe everyone thinks that Grendel deserved to die because of all the people he had killed, slaughtered, and devoured. "He has torn off my arm at the shoulder!" (172)
What i dont like is that in Grendel, Beowulf is described to have wings and can blow fire. I dont think that was not correct for John Gardner to detail something that was not in the book beowulf.
I love how Beowulf makes Grendel sing about how hard the wall is as Beowulf is pounding him towards it.
Anyways this is all i will write for now. Until next time. See you on the flip side.

Beowulf
Beowulf is a very complicated to understand epic story. At least it is to me.
Hrothulf is the King and Grendel is the monster who is destroying the kings town and Hall.
Grendel is destroying the kings hall and eating his men because of something that he heard from the shaper. The shaper said that Grendel, a monster descended from " Cain's Clan." And Cain bis said to be cursed by God because of what Cain did to his brother, this pissed Grendel off.
Then Beowulf hears of the problems that Hrothgar and the Danes have on their country and comes to solve them. The Geat hero announces himself and explains his mission. " We belong by birth to the Geat people and owe allegiance to lord Hygelac." (260-261) He also says, " We come in good faith to find you lord and nation's shield, the son of Halfdane." ( 266-268) Hrothgar recognizes Beowulf's name and approves his arrival. " I used to know him when i, was a young boy. His father before him was called Ecgtheow." (372)
Then after he is accepted they have a feast get wasted and fall asleep. After that Beowulf tells Hrothgar that he will fight Grendel, but he will give up his sword and shield. " I herby renounce sword, the heavy war-board : hand- to- hand is how it will be, a life- and -death fight with a fiend."(436-440) I think that this sounds a little too cocky because Grendel can take 30 men in one grasp. I think that Beowulf sounded too sure of himself, which really helps sometimes. After Beowulf says this Hrothulf tells him if he wins he will reward him. "This is my hope; and for his heroism I will recompense him with a rich treasure."
" but the troops leader was not inclined to allow his caller to depart alive: he did not consider that life of much account to anyone anywhere" (790-793) To me this quote tells me that he's stingy is a sort of way, not wanting it but not wanting anyone else to have it.
Then after Beowulf fights Grendel and takes Grendel's arm as a suveniere. He goes back to his country. Time passes. Beowulf rules the Geats for fifty years, " the wide kingdom revealed to Beowulf. He ruled it well for fifty winters, grew old and wise as warden of the land." (2208-2210) I think that his confidence and the love of his people helped him succeed to become a good king.
Theme Statements:
" Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of two things: What's said and what's done." (287-289)
" Whoever remains for long here in the earthly life will enjoy and endure more than enough."(1059-1061)

We Belong Together
This is my favorite song. It's by Mariah Carey. I hope you like it too.
Verse 1
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so I should have held on tight I never should have let you go I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself I couldn't have fathomed I would ever be without your love Never imagined I'd be sitting Here beside myself Guess I didn't know you You'd guess I didn't know me But I thought I knew everything I never felt.
Pre-Chorus 1
The feeling that I'm feeling Now that I don't hear your voice Or have your touch and kiss your lips Cause I don't have a choice Oh what I wouldn't give To have you lying by my side Right here cause baby
Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together
Verse 2
I can't sleep at night When you are on my mind Bobby Womack's on the radio Singing to me "If You Think You're Lonely Now" Wait a minute this is too deep I gotta change the station So I turn the dial tryin' to catch a break And then I hear Babyface "I Only Think Of You" and it's breakin' my heart I'm tryin' to keep it together but I'm falling apart
Pre-Chorus 2
I'm feeling all out of my element Throwing things, crying tryin' To figure out where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected in this song Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside I need you, need you back in my life baby
Chorus 2
When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together baby
Outro
When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe Come back baby please cause We belong together Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough Who's gonna talk to me till the sun comes up Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better Oh baby baby We belong together
So..
So how many of you took the Academic Decatholon Test? I did and i thought the math part was hard because i forgot everything i learned for the past months that we've been in school. Hopefully the stone of Felix helped me get a pretty good score. How many of you touched the stone of Felix??.. I did and now i think its disgusting because of the story behind the stone. Eww, i put it on my forehead. That's what i get for being superstitious. Anyways i got to go. See you on the flip side.
This was brought to you by the girl who rubbed Felix's fecees on her forhead.
