Once Upon an Afternoon...

Once upon an afternoon, a woman ate some pizza pie. Then a pig came and sang a lullaby because he felt sick. Then he found a purple dinosaur which ate a butterfly. Mister Butterfly died and went to Butterfly Heaven. Which actually is a Butterfly Heaven. Which actually is in New Switzerland. Then the dinosaur came to party at the Butterfly Heaven caf'e. A bomb fell upon an Avery with on Thursdays. Now Avery liked to obliterate Lexie. But Lexie was magical but not mortal because she hasn't punched any lepricons, and pink couches. So then a cow floated in on a stripped banana. The banana did a crazy dance with a pink unicorn on a blue whale. The music was so magestically intranceing that they started to burp big bubbles of green glowing glue blobs. This caused blue glowing babies to terrorize the pink citizens of Japan. But the citizens of Japan were training their rainbow rainbows to do death grips against the psychotic melons. The flying purple eating cavemen were eating worlds of purpleness. Purple people of Purpleville were drinking cashiers with magically sharpened electric toothbrushes. The toothbrushes were covered with pink Barbie  insides which tasted like little puppies on flaming pizzas. The pizzas looked gross. But tasted so amazingly that the Thunder Fish started to flip out. Then the glowing weasels flew across the night sky with giant lolliepops. the loliepops soon landed, then they created a giant baby, that they laughed hysterically at while burping blue portholes that leaked silver shiny slugs. They sparkled like a disko ball during a full moon. Soon everyone was sleeping on oily flaming tar. It didn't have babies because it was nudered on a pool table in the dark of the afternoon. the afternoon liked expanding funny endings. Babies will explode into Purpleville where the flying dragons poop rainbows. Those rainbows choked melons while the balloons swam through the golden happy gates of heaven. The End.

The Personalities of Ghandi and Other Righteous Leaders

When will we own ourselves completely? I believe it is through personal traits of goodness that we will become ourselves. Some of these traits are:
• Faith
• Hope
• Charity and Love
• Virtue
• Knowledge
• Patience
• Humility
• Diligence
• Obedience

Faith is believing in things not seen. I believe this is the start in building ourselves. Through righteous things, you are gaining faith, which helps us deal with everyday conflicts. Which is also building our hope in righteousness.

Hope is a trait to become ourselves because it leads us to become optimistic in our everyday lives. It lets us think about the best in things, and gives us confidence to be able to complete tasks. And to complete tasks with Hope and Faith lets us be able to Love what we are doing and to be Charitable.

Charity and Love go hand in hand in every way. When you do Charity, you are able to Love those you are being charitable to, and when you Love those around you, you are able to do more Charity for them more often. To love one another is the greatest Charity, and it also helps us create optimistic thoughts with-in our minds and desires, which is righteous Virtue.

When we are able to have these happy thoughts and desires, We are able to control our behavior and moral standards. To be able to have perfect Virtue would be such a great blessing in my life. To think clean thoughts and to be able to control my action more often in my daily life is the greatest thought ever!

To have Knowledge is very important in finding ourselves too. Knowledge helps us to be able to help others learn from our views and to be able to understand others from their views as well. We need Knowledge to be able to be successful in life as well. When we have Knowledge we are able to understand our jobs, religions, and life styles with-in our cultures.

To be able to have Patience is a great way to become ourselves as well. Patience is the ability to "endure daily obstacles and opposition, or suffering... without becoming angry, frustrated, or anxious." When we are being patient with everyone and everything, we are able to grow our relationships with others, and even ourselves.

Another trait is Humility. To be able to have Humility is to not accept that you have done everything great you have accomplished. You have had help with everything you have done. Let others know that! You will gain great respect from your example, and will be able to become more ourselves.

Work hard and have Diligence! Work on your patience and you will be "Steady, earnest, and energetic, with great effort in your work." When we are able to be Diligent in every work we do, we will be able to find "joy, and satisfaction in all work."

And the last way on the list to become more ourselves is to be Obedient. Be willing to obey rules, and follow the council of any leader we have. If we follow our leaders with obedience, we are acting in Faith, which is going back to the top of the list. This is all connected! Did you notice?

If we are following these guidelines, we will be able to gain the attributes of a leader of so many. We will be looked up to, and we will most definitely own ourselves completely. I do keep forgetting to do many of these things and will keep working on them, but I do many of these things as well. Even now! And so tonight is not the last time I will see the light.

The Jealous Raven

THE RAVEN
-EDGAR ALLEN POE
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
  Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
   As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
  "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
                Only this, and nothing more."

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
  And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
  For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
                Nameless here for evermore.

    And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
  Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
    "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
  Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
                This it is, and nothing more."

   I won't give the whole poem because it is way too long to pay attention to, but this poem makes me "jealous". When I studied Edgar Allen Poe last year in English, I became very familiar with his writing. This one in particular was very interesting for me to read. It made me quite "jealous" and really made me think about my writing. This poem makes me "jealous" because I have never really thought of the words I use. I have always gone with words that rhyme together no matter how crummy it sounds. His thoughts that I feel within the poem make me "jealous" to read as well. What goes through the persons head is quite interesting. I have always wanted to get better at writing like that. (To write what goes through peoples’ minds is an interesting way of expressing yourself.) It also lets others feel the way you feel. Edgar Allen Poe is a role model of mine and I am quite "jealous" of his work.

What Goes Through my Head

Tell you what goes through my head, you say?
Oh I don't know
Maybe little conversations with friends that aren't really there
Maybe conclusions that click somewhere in there, leading me to believe the worst

Why does this happen, you ask?
Maybe because I lost connection
Maybe because everyone chooses to ignore my voice
To pretend I'm not here

Now let me ask you this
What do you think of this?
Give me a reasonable reason why this is happening
I've gone through many senarios and they all come out the same
I end up alone

And now tell me this...
Do you really want this to end?

Why should I do all this?

The thermometer has reached its limit, and I don't think i can stand this anymore
I chose to have my room this way
I chose to put my clothes in the places they are in
I chose to put all this food on my face
I chose to call him that name
I chose each specific color of paint and crayon to put on that wall
Why do you get in my way and yell at me?
What do you want?
You want me to pick all my toys up?
But... But I like where they are. I will know where they are in the future when I want to play with them...
You want me to hang up all my clothes?
BUT IT IS EASIER TO REACH WHEN I WANT TO WEAR THEM AGAIN!
You want me to clean off my face?
But what if I want to eat it later?
You want me to say sorry?
Do you know what he did to me last week?
You also want me to clean the wall?
BUT IT'S MY ART! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! And it will take FOREVER to clean it all off!
What?
Stop Complaining?
I'm not complaining....
You're just being bossy...

What Music Artists think of LOVE

I have no idea what Love is defined as.... So I decided to go with what some Music Artists think about love. I think they sort of hit the  idea of Love..... But do we really understand the definition of Love?
Brian McKnight:
"One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me... girl and...
Four... repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One"


Hall & Oats:
"But You make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer"


Death Cab for Cutie:
"I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved"


He is We:
"Oh, happily ever after, wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know.
Oh, skip to the ending, who'd like to know, I'd like to know.
Author of the moment, can you tell me, do I end up, do I end up happy?"


Hellogoodbye:
"I like where we are,
When we drive, in your car
I like where we are.... Here
Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here"

Flying Man-Eating Oranges

Up in the air
Flying in despair
With some blur of orangeish glow
are where the flying man-eating oranges flow

They dive into bakeries
And eat all the employees
They bullet into Ranches
And slurp up all the horses

Why the flying man-eating oranges do this
We know not, it is only a bliss
But what we do know is 
That if we do not run from these creatures of the acrocyanosis
We will surely be spat at with their orange utensils of doom 
And will drown in their moist delicious juices created for a boom

Boulivard of "Broken"? Dreams

I walk Alone, I walk Alone

The Summer day has turned to a Winter night
The feeling I get is a rush of dry happiness turned into cold dampness that creates more sorrow
The sidewalk where I drag my feet is like black tar, trying to pull me back to my problems
I see light fading away while darkness closes in on me
It is like a blanket that gives no warmth
I am trying to reach out to anything that could be around me
But the blanket is constricting me from moving at all
My anxiety level is rising, now I am starting to shake
Sweaty blood running down my face, I only shut my eyes
Something jabs me
It feels like it's going to split me in two
But then the blanet of darkness cracks and I am free!
I open my eyes to see a hand reaching out to me
I raise my hand weakly to grab onto the opposing hand
I soon feel strong and refreshed and I am not alone
I am not alone

Now we walk together, we walk together

Not Enough Time to Rest

The wind brushing against my face
The grass sliding across my arms and legs
The sky is overcast with dark friendly clouds hovering above me
Misty raindrops start to crawl around and into my body
And soon my mind is clear of all thoughts

From a far I can hear soccer balls being kicked
I can hear birds flapping their wings from tree to tree
And bikes being peddled on the pavement


I can feel the ground becoming wet and moist
The wind now making everything chilly


I get up and hear a song start up
It sings of how great it is living in this lifetime
I bring out my arms reaching out into no where
And I start to circle... circle... and circle some more
I lift my head up to the sky
And the drops of downpour light up my face
They run down my smile
Ready to encircle me in the blessing from above

The Life of the Lovely Flower

I'm standing? Laying? Rooted? On this pile of soil
The earth under me is soft like I am floating on clumps of cloud, maybe rocky in a place or two
The air is so clear, I can smell my neighbor's aroma spinning close to me
The sky is light blue, with only a couple white clouds soaring above me
The sun is bursting and throwing it's warmth around me, hugging me so that I do not go cold
The day is long... But in a peaceful way
I see birds fly
I hear Bees buzz by
I can feel deer running near me without a reply
Life is simple
Until I have to make a decision
I am picked from the soft and rocky earth
A whisper comes from above me
She Loves me... She loves me not
I feel rough stumps pulling at me
My body becoming free
I float away into the wind
Into all sorts of directions
Leading into the forest? The sea? A field?
Now I lay here... So itchy, wet, and comforted
Ready for a new adventure

I Believe

I can do this

I believe
It is not much to handle
I believe
I would like to go back
I believe
There are some things left behind
I believe
There are challenges
I believe
I can beat them
I believe
I am not alone
I believe
There are things I can let go
I believe
People do understand
I believe
People may lie
I believe

Others do not
I believe
There is an answer
I believe
I can escape
I believe
I can be healed
I believe
I am a child of God 

I'm Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you
I'm thinking about you like the morning sun thinks about reaching the high noon sky
Like a child thinks about getting that one peice of candy behind the candy store window
Like a singer thinks about reaching those high notes he has to reach to be able to sing his song
Like a drowning person thinks about thinking about how he wishes to take another breath on this world
I'm thinking about you like how the afternoon sun thinks about being able to setbehind the mountains in the evening
Like a guitar waiting to be played on stage with his fellow instruments
Like an ant-eatter dreams of eatting ants every night
Like your how your mom thinks about which chores to give you once you get home
I'm thinking of you like how the setting sun lowers behind the mountains waiting for the new day to come 
I'm thinking about you because I want to think about you

Direct Orders

You are under direct orders to rock the cow out!
Rock out like you just met your hero and he gave you the chance to become just like him
Like you escaped from death and you chose to become a god instead
Like you just ended your last day of school, and you never have to go back
Like you have been set free of cancer and you were given all the pineapple in the world to eat
Rock out like you were about to go to prison and then your lawyer busted you out with the power of speech
Like you obtained intense guitar skills and you started to shred on the strings of the musical box
Like you went into the future and gained all the knowledge needed to take over the world
Like you are dancing in the rain covered in moist loving arms of happiness
Rock out like you just finished a master piece and sold the art work for $1,000,000,000.00
Like you found the buried treasure of Brick Trout and overcame his forbidden curse
Like you solved an unsolvable mystery and gained timeless fame from it
Like you found the cure for cancer and gave immortality to everyone
Like you were just given your last meal and your are about to get the death sentence the next day
Rock out like this is the last line and you are about to leave class knowing you have achieved your goal

The Righteous INTRO

The name "Righteous Fury" came out of no where. Like how your parents give you a surprise birthday party without you noticing it at all until you walk into a room and everyone jumps out yelling so enthusiastically "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!". It is just a giant surprise! Righteous Fury was actually a giant surprise to me. My brother and I were on the computer and we were thinking of interesting, weird, exciting names we could use as a "pen name" of some sort. We went through some names like "Bro. Montana" or maybe something like "The Bushinator". Soon we went through a whole list and I wasn't sure I liked any of them, so I tried thinking out of the box! I brought out of my mind the name "Righteous Fury Against the heads of EVIL" but it was a bit too long, so I decided to stay with Righteous Fury.
