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.

Sunday
On Sunday i had one of my Church friends come over and eat. So i had to clean the house really early in the morning. I was tired but i guess it was worth it. My friend came over ate some menudo that my mom made, i didnt eat it because i dont like it. She hung out with my brother because she likes him but my brother doesnt like her, its sad. Anyways later on that day my cousins came over and invited me to go to the Dallas World Aquarium, i would get in free because my aunt has a membership card. So i went and i got to see many fish and birds who i wanted to set free cuz i dont like seeing animals caged up for entertainment. But anyway i got to see flamingos, a panther, and a cheeta. I liked the panther the best, it was black and really big. The bird that i like is called a Macaw. I have one its blue (a real one) the one i saw was red, i was telling my cousin that i was gonna get that one next. Anyways this is what i did on sunday.Hope you wern't too bored.

Hi
How many of you are high off life? Hopefuly that's all your high on. Anyways so how did TAKS testing go? For me it was pretty boring because we could not do anything but sit there and be quiet. Only until 2 something could we talk. The only day that i liked was Tuesday because i got to get out of my boring class and go to the class right accross so i could supposedly watch a movie but instead i was talking to my friend who says she's a wild monkey to my liking, oh and Bogar too. We were making jokes and talking and we were pretty much entertained until we had to leave to 3rd pd. So yea that was pretty much my good TAKS day. But what i think is stupid is that they made us come on friday at 2:00. What was the point, we could of come in the morning for at least an hour or not come at all. Doesn't matter i still had fun on that day because i got to go to Church ( Iglesia de Dios 7o Dia ) its located on Melbourn St. I got to teach little kids from ages 7-9 from 6pm to 9:30pm. And i got to see people that i hadn't seen in 5yrs because i moved from my previous church to the one i am in now. I know i hadn't seen this one guy for about 2yrs, but i didnt get to talk to him then because it was at his grandmothers funeral. Anyways i've known him since i was 5 yrs old and the last time he saw me i was 10. When i started talking to him that day he said he didnt recognize me because i didn't look the same as i did when i was 10. Even his mom said she didn't recognize me anymore. Anyways i asked him when he was coming back and he and his mother said that they would come once in a while. What was so good of that day was that i got to see an old friend slash crush. Well now that you know what happened on friday you can leave me alone. Just Kiding.

O Brother Where Art Thou
Sorry i couldn't blog sooner. My computer is crazy this is my second time writing this. Uh i hate that i have to write what i had already writen over.
Ulysses - Odysseus
Ulysses is the main character in the movie, his wife is going to get married to anohter man. Ulysses tries to get home but there is always something that stops him.
The man with the Shades - Posideon
The man with the shades is shown with fire reflected in his sunglasses. Its ironic becasue Posideon was the lord of the water. The man with the shades keeps impeading Ulysses to get home.
Ulysses wife - Penelopeia
Ulysses wife is about to get married to another man until Ulysses comes along and stops her. She told her daughter that he was hit by a train even though she kinda knew where he was.
3 girls - Sirens
The girls are the sirens because they sing and they seduce the men. Its funny that they thought that the girls turned that guy into a toad.
The blind guy - Homer
the bling guy is Homer becsause Homer was said to be blind. Also because he made Ulysses and the other guys famous. He told their story and made their song famous. The sogy bottom boys were very famous.
Thats all i have to say. Sorry Mr. Locke, I didn't get to blog sooner. I know, no excusses. My computer crashed and today i was gonna publish my first try at blogging but i dont know what happened it didnt publish it so im doing it again. i hope it publishes this one.

The Odyssey
So i thought that the book was great. I liked that in chapter XIX, Odysseus was dressed up as a beggar and was in his house and Penelopeia told the nurse to wash Odysseus feet not knowing who he was. " All this passed through the mind of Odysseus, as the old nurse touched him with the palm of her hand and felt the scar. She knew him." (222) " Both joy and sorrow filled her heart, the tears rose in her eyes, her voice chocked." (222) I like that after so many years the nurse still remembers him because of the scar.
I feel sorry for Penelopeia because she has been alone for twenty years and has had to keep herself together, while having men in the house who keep eating your food everyday.That is why the contest of the bow comes in, the leader of the sooters thought it was easy but it wasn't and he was the first to die. " Then he let fly the arrow right at Aninoos." (243) So Odysseus killed him the arrow which hit him in the throught.
Then later after that came the battle in the hall, Odyssus killed everyone except for two men. Then he hung the women that conspired against him, he said it looked like " trushes or doves caught in a net when they come to roost in the bushes." (252)
In the end Odysseus and his wife get together and Penelopeia test him to be sure it is really him. The test of the bed. Odysseus says " It would be difficult to move my bed for the best workman, unless god himself should come down and move it. I made it myself, and no one else touyched it. There was a strong young olive tree in full leef growing in an enclosure,the trunk as a thick pillar....." (257)
I liked the book and hope we get to read another one similar to it. Bye.

My Weekend
My weekend was pretty good. On friday I went to my aunt's house to make some Tamales, man were they good. I know i know, your thinking oh my god she can cook, yes i can cook. Anyways as i was saying, we made Tamales but i didn't get to eat any of them until Saturday afternoon because i had to go to my house and clean as i normally do. On Saturday night i watched a holocaust movie in my church with some of my youth group friends. Then i went to my aunts house for a supposedly sleep over party. Even though the sleeping part came a little to soon. My aunt made us turn off the lights and go to sleep like around 11 O'clock, but of course i couldnt fall asleep. So instead of sleeping i listened to my cousins cd player until the bateries died out around 4 o'clock in the morning. Then i slept on the cold very hard floor. I woke up around ten and was sore, my ribs, my back, and my shoulders still hurt. Then i went home cleaned the house again and washed my clothes and went to the store. Then on Monday i washed my parents clothes. Watched some TV, not really because there was nothing good on until 2:00 p.m. on channel 23. My novela comes on and thats pretty much all that i watch. I know it sounds boring to you guys but this was probably the best weekend i have had in these last couple of months. I dont get out much beacause my parents wont let me go anywhere without them tagging along. So i dont go anywhere instead. Alright that was my weekend how was yours?

The Odyssey
The Odyssey is a really cool book. Its mostly about a guy named Odyssius who has fought in the Trojan War and is trying to get home. As much as he tries he fails because his men get in the way.
In chapter 9, they meet the lotus eaters, Odyssius men eat some of the lotus flowers and dont want to go home. " 'As soon as they tasted that honey-sweet fruit, they thought no more about coming back to us with news, but rather stay there, and say goodbye to home.' " (102) Then they meet a Cyclops who keeps them as prisoners but Odyssius soon thinks of a plan to escape. He finds a pole hides it in poop then heats the point if the pole and stabs the Cycloped in the eye. He then ties himself and his men under the Cyclop's sheep.
In chapter 11, Odyssius is in the Land of the Dead. He talks to dead people and his mom. He asks her how she died. " ' But do tell me, really and truly, what the cause of your death? how did you die? ' " (127) In my perspective its kinda weird to think of asking someone how they died but i think i'd ask a loved one the cause of their death too.
In chapter 12, Odyssius is with Circe and she warns him of the things he will see and what he must chose. He is warned of the sirens. He msut get his men to tie him to the ship's mast. The men must not listen to the sirens but if Odyssius asks to be let loose they msut tie him tighter. " ' Tell them that if you shout out and command them to let you loose, they must tie you tighter with a few more ropes. ' " (139) And then she warns Odyssius about two routes in which he must chose. He has to chose wether to go through a route with a monster that is sort of a whirlpool or meet a moster with six heads. Either route he will lose most of his men.So he msut chose the best one.
So far the book is pretty good. Even though sometimes i think that Odyssius men should stop being selfish and trust Odyssius and not question his commands and not go against his accions.
In chapter 9, they meet the lotus eaters, Odyssius men eat some of the lotus flowers and dont want to go home. " 'As soon as they tasted that honey-sweet fruit, they thought no more about coming back to us with news, but rather stay there, and say goodbye to home.' " (102) Then they meet a Cyclops who keeps them as prisoners but Odyssius soon thinks of a plan to escape. He finds a pole hides it in poop then heats the point if the pole and stabs the Cycloped in the eye. He then ties himself and his men under the Cyclop's sheep.

Hello
Hello how you all doing? So about the PSAT test how many of you are getting nervous about passing the reall one. Im pretty sure i can pass it if i try hard enough. Im sort of bummed out that my score was sort of in the middle of the hole nineth grade score. I think i could have done better if i hadn't gotten nervous. Ussually when it comes to tests i dont do very well, and its not becasue i dont know the material that im taking it on but that i get nervous and excited that it ruins my concentration. If people watch me when i take a test they will surely see that i get nervous because i start moving my feet and going through the test really quickly. My teachers ussaully tell me not to do that but i do it anyway because i cant help it. So moving on, ow many of you guys other than me like the Odyssey? I like it a lot, I've been waiting to read it, I know you may be asking why i haven't read it if i have been eager to read it, well its because i wanted to read it in class. And yet were not reading it in class but i know other people are reading it and it makes me feel like if i have a question i can ask them. (right?) Anyways i got ot go now. See you all later.
This is only being written for the ask points.

William Shakespear
The film of William Shakespeare was a bit on the notty side. I didn't know he was a player. Will fell in love with Lady Violet Delesups or Jesups. (whatever) Violet likes plays and wants to be a player, in other words, an actor but she is not alowed to be an actor because she is well born and because she is a woman. Will and Violet met when she dressed up like a boy to play the role of Romeo in the play that was supposedly called " Romeo and Ethel the Pirates Daughter" but was in the end called " Romeo and Juiet. "
Christopher Marlo is sort of Will's rival in the play righter world. Christopher Marlo is a play righter that is well known but he doesn't right plays as good as Will.
Violet parents went out of town and will and violet where left alone in the house for about two weeks so you might have guessed what im gonna say so im not gonna say it. Then, violet and wesix were to be married in two weeks but she was in love with will and had already slept with him. So she felt bad becasue she didn't want to marry a man she doesn't love.
What is weired is that when violet was sent to see Queen Elizabeth. The queen could tell what violet had done and told Wesix what she had done. But Wesix didn't know it was Will he thought it was Christopher Marlo.
Burbage is a very horny old guy. Everytime that he came on he was doing his business with some girl. Right away you could tell that he is horny. Its funny though. Anyways Burbage own a theatre and told Will that he could do his play in his theatre because Will's play had been canceled becasue they found out that there was a real woman in the play. So they had tried to cancel it but in the end couldn't stop it from going on. The paly came out alright, Violet got to act out as Juliet istead of Romeo. She was pretty good at it too.
The movie pretty much ended pretty good eventhough both Will and Violet were married but not to each other. Wesix lost the bet that he had made about a play not being able to show the true meaning of love. Oh and Violet didn't get in trouble with the Queen Elizabeth for acting. The queen was sympathetic towards Violet because the queen knows about doing what is normally a man's job.
So i hope you guys liked the film as much as i did. Well it was alright, I know the guys wished they had seen more of the sex scenes than anyone did. I got to go now.

Hello
Hey you guys what's up? Nothin much in my world. Excuse the long time you've waited to read some of my wonderful written thoughts. So i did my R&J Project on Tuesday, it sort of went well even though it could have gone better if we had practiced more than just a couple of times. We only practiced like two times and always someone was missing. I think we got lucky in pulling it off. At first i got really nervous, i thought i was going to throw up because i have stage fright and i defenetly do not like being filmed. I repeat I do not like being filmed. But in the end it all went well. So how did yall's Valentines day go, mine was ok, i got to go to Methodist hospital on a fieldtrip. I got to be with the resperatory department. It was boring at first but then Diana and I got to go to the top floor (the 11th floor) to see baby's. We got to see how they test the baby's hearing. It was all good. I thought it was fun but of course i think everything is fun becasue i don't get out much. (my parents wont let me go anywhere, well mostly my dad, hes very overprotective, that's why we didn't get to practice our scene very much.) Anyways enough about my life in a glass box. i have got to go know. See you all very soon!!! Not too soon i hope....Chow.. Bye...Adiue...Adios...Ovua...In other words see you guys later..

Romeo and Juliet
Hello guys. So lets cut right to the chase. I like Romeo and Juliet but i think that the family's should have put their differences aside so that nothing bad would have happened.
Act 4 scenes 1-5
Friar Lawrence says " I would I knew not why it should be slowed.--(16) I think that if Friar Lawrence would have made Romeo and Juliets marrage public sooner things wouldn't have ended up with so many deaths.
Paris is sort of desperate because he keeps pushing Juliet to marry him, " Happily met, my lady and my wife." (18)
I like the way that Juliet told Paris off. "If i do so, it will be of more price, being spoke behind your back, than your face." (28-29)
" Chain me with roaring bears, or hide me nightly in a charnel house, o'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones, with reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls." (81-84) I can tell that Juliet really doesnt want to marry Paris. She rather die or be with dead mans bones where she might go crazy.
Act 5
I like that Romeo granted Paris's last wish to be put next to Juliet. "lay me with Juliet." (73)" In faith I will." (74)
Capulet tells Montegue " O brother Montegue, give me thy hand. This is my daughter's jointure, for no more can I demand." (306-308) I thought finaly there making piece.But then Montegue says, "But i can give thee more, For i will ray her statue in pure gold, that whiles Verona bt that name is known, ......" (309-311) In the end after competing on what they will give each other they make peace.
The Prince couldn't punish anyone because everything was even.
After all this drama i cant wait till we read another one of Shakespeare's books. 'Till then see you guys on the fip side.

Guess What?
I'm hurt physically because today my mom made me go with her to the post office and i was clossing the car door and i didn't move my hand (pretty stupid huh) and my thumb got slammed between the door. It hurts so bad but i didn't cry, I started laughing because it hurt and it quickly got numb. I keep messing with it but it hurts so much. I can barely write let alone type. Well im dumb don't you think? Thats a retorical question!!!! Anyways hope you get to see my numb, swollen thumb tomorrow. Try not to make fun.....

Wuts up?
wutz up you guys? Im wealling to bet that no one likes reading my blog because its boring. I bet that no one is willing to post comments because they dont know what to comment. Anyways i have nothing to do right now but reherce my lines for Romeo and Juliet. Its going pretty well but im worried that i will forget some of my lines and that i wont be a good actor. Im not a very dramatic person. I think im gonna need help on acting more then i need help memorizing my lines. Im gonna stay tommorow for tutoring to practice but my dad is in suspicion if im really gonna practice. I dont know what i did to make him doubt that i will be in class rehersing. That sometimes gets on my nerves because he wont let me go anywhere and doesn't let me talk on the phone or even email my friends or even my cousins. He thinks their a bad influence. I got to go.
