So lately this past few weeks. ive felt so much emotion about the Natzi' death camp sobibor, run the the S.S that also was all associated with hitler. I watched the movie The Escape From Sobibor in my history class. And its so horrible how these murderers killed innocent people with the gas chambers. I then borrowed the movie from my teacher and brought it homefor my mom to see, and watching it again with her breaks my heart to see that people actually had to deal with this. This actually happend. It doesnt phase people today because we don have to deal with it. But it did happen, people did die, and it soo sad. Does anyone know any thin about this and have similar feelings? have you seen the movie?

"how can you say that the universe developed on its own?" think about it, why is it impossible for the universe to develop on its own, but possible for the "creator" who actually "created" all of it in the first place. out of the universe and God, i would think if there is a God, then he has to be more complex than the universe, right? my point is that it doesnt make sense to say it is impossible for the universe to develop by random chance and to say it is not impossible for something even more complex, God to develop randomly or to have been around forever. anyway, this isnt a rant, just a thought. what do you think?

A Poet From The Moon
Written By Semper Fi Reborn

I was downtown Newark, N.J.,
Corner of Broad and Market in fact.
When the first ship arrived,
Causing my whole face to go slack.

The streets cleared fast,
There were folks hurdling other folks to run by.
One second I'm ordering a hotdog,
And a UFO appears in the sky.

Out of it's speakers,
Came voice that soothed like a croon.
That's the first time we on Earth,
Heard the poet from the moon.

A lot of what I've written recently isn't appropriate for YA. This one is, but if you can't handle religious content please stop reading now. It is not my desire to upset anyone. This was a parable I attempted on a workshop site. Please let me know what you think?

Logos

The flavor you are trying to describe
is found in the seeds
of the pomegranate,
mixed with moonlight, and tears. You will never
forget this taste. I pity you.
Everything will be less
vibrant now—everything will be…
less.

If you had asked:
How are we alike?
How could I deny you?
The stars would still be your blanket.
The garden still soft beneath your feet.

No. I would not have said love—that is not
the image you bear. The sword still spins
to protect this creation from your harsh love.
A love that would crush the Jay in its hands
The blood sings from the ground to Me—
not for vengeance—but in awe.

Does that give you a clue?

I am a Namer. I create with words.
What was light before I said it?
Was it conceived?
You are also a Namer. I would not
take that from you though
your tongue has turned black.
You create also. You do more than define:
The thought gives birth to the word; the word precedes the act.
What was murder before you said it?
You have continued to name

Deceit
Fear
Shame

Each word creates and confines. You still lack patience.
You will not hear me. My words will no longer strive
with your limited vocabulary.
I leave you one word behind.

Hope

It didn’t exist before I said it.
At the proper time you must scream it
to the hills and look up.
You will find Me waiting there,
I never left.
For I too am a Namer,
and I AM patient.

Ive always known what I want to do in life is somewhere between theatre and clowning, but without the seriousness & with the respect of theatre, and without the buffoon-ishness & with the fun of clowning. So recently I found a group that combines this EXACTLY! And I dont know if theyll have me yet, but if they will then I KNOW I am meant for this. So my plan was to completely refocus, take all performance based classes next semester, and basically do what I have to to be what they need. Then if they say no anyway, Id still have more elective credits for a theatre degree.
My main concern is...1. If they wont have me...how do I keep from feeling shot? and 2. If they say they'll have me, it's a LOT of training, which may possibly cost money Im not sure yet, and would involve moving 3 hours away and travelling a LOT.
I just dont know whether this seems too much like "running away with the circus"? but then when I start thinking, I realize they all did it so what's the problem?.........

Okay, so here's the thing~ I've always been a watercolor girl but I really wanna get into oil painting, and like an idiot, I applied all the rules of watercoloring to oil painting = = nd all I got in the end was a smudgy brown blah thing T^T

So are there any Painters, who are experts or at least experienced in oil painting, who could give me some (a lot) of tips? :3 please please!

My usual styles are: postimpressionism, realism (somewhat), surrrealism, and a bit of expressionism and pop art

Usual brushes (are these ok for oil paints?): 3/4 Flat Wash, 8 Flat, 10 Round, 6 Filbert, 6 Flat, 2 Flat

*These are the new paints I got, tell me if they suck nd I could use some suggestions on good oils: Art Studio

No help from non painters please! (Kyle, this means you lol)

Thanks to anyone who actually took the time to read all that stuff

Retreat
Flee from the light of day
Hide your heart in darkness
Close your eyes to the hot
Spears of sunlight
And look to hope no more

Cage your spirit
Erect iron bars around your soul
Lock it in the dark confines
Of forgetfulness
And look to remembrance no more

Turn away from the world
Protect your fragile self
Let darkness and loneliness
Be your haven
And you shall hurt no more

Insidious Demons

An empty darkness is creeping in
Surrounding and suffocating me
Like a heavy blanket; a merciless fog
I feel it clawing at my flesh
Pulling at my soul
It won’t give up; I won’t give in
To this swirl of emptiness rising within

It is a thing eating at me
Wearing me down
Exposing what I hold inside
Tearing away my mask
In a black rage like fire
Its thick smoke chokes me

As thick dark blood
Oozes from unhealing wounds
The deep cut of the knife
That reveals the empty soul beneath

That heavy unnerving presence
Hangs close like a dark cloud
Imprisoned by its bars
I am held by the darkness
It kills all hope and aspiration
As quick as the rain swept candle dies

It is black oil that seeps into my bones
It’s a strangling vine entwining my soul with emptiness
And squeezing life from my heart
It plants its heavy hopeless seeds
Deep into the pit of my being


I feel nausea sweep through me
In a cloud of mind-numbing dizziness
It whispers of all things sour
I feel its arms drape over me like a thick curtain
Its face looms above like a dark shadow
And I cannot run for it finds me
It runs me down like a monstrous beast
Invading my sleep in feverish nightmares
Crushing and cramping till my breath runs short
All around me it twists and twirls like a cyclone
Howling in despair of the soul it must capture
And I cannot escape this frenzy of emotion
This emptiness, this sorrow, this cold lonely fear
That I am not in control
That I am just a pawn
The first sacrifice, that I am nothing
With no soul, no life, no choice

Could the light ever reach me?
In the darkness of hell?
Could it ever bring the sunshine
To my weary soul
Or am I doomed forever
Captured by the demons
That have devoured all that was dear
All that was once in my heart
All that was good and pure
Is now a distant memory
A fantasy I hold
Something that once was
Could it ever be again?

Okay my relative is my cousins daughter, but she is older than me by about 5 months.. Her grandmother is my aunt though. My grandmother had about 13 children so some are about 60 to 30 years old. She claims that we are 2nd cousins is that correct?

Your face is like an angel
Looking into my soul
Your smile is infectious,
Courageous and bold

You have eyes of innocence
Big and round and blue
Life is so much sweeter
Since I was blessed with you

You’re tough and energetic
Creative and bright
Patient, kind and caring
Filling my world with light

I love you dear sweetheart
Nothing compares to you
The warmth and love you give
Will always shine through

Tears are so friendly
when I cry them for you
when you are sad and hurting
I am hurting too
your love is so pure
you do not see my flaws
my child you are special
I am forever yours
the sun will shine forever
on your lovely face
and roses will know envy
on sight of your grace
I will be there always
to love and to pray
that happiness will find you
and bless you today
my sweet little angel
I give this gift to you
my eternal love and gratitude
for just being you


Ok say it's not the greatest but I guess we all have poetry that we would like to improve so this is one of them, suggestions?
