School. Yay.

So, school starts in a day. Usually I'm super excited. No. I am honestly terrified of freshman year. not because I'm a newbie or whatever. I'm scared of my classes. All honors/Pre-AP??? What am I thinking? I can't do this. Seriously. This is going to be way to much not to mention volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club 3 days a week! I'm really worried about what my heath is going to become at this point. My sanity level is going to be in the negatives. Yeah, this year is going to be fun, we're going to do some pretty cool stuff. But what with my sister and brother going to ASU I'm pretty much gonna be on my own. I know how much all of this is going to help me in the future but let's be realistic. What about the present? It's not gonna help me in the future if I die my freshman year! I know I'm totally overreacting but this is actually going to be hard. I'm not going to die but it's going to be really hard to get what I need to get done, done. I don't have good time management skills. That is a huge factor in getting my work done now. What's it going to be like doing twice or three times the work? Not good. I know I wanted this. I know its my fault. I'm just scared :(.

Creation Story

Just a single dot, blankness all around
Then a pop, and out came a second dot
Then two pops, simultaneously, now four dots
This happened for some time until the final pop came about.

This final dot was nothing special, just like the other
Except for one simple flaw,
There was an extra, smaller dot on this one
This dot could speak and said, "I wish not
to be alone." And so, another, smaller dot emerged

These two were talking and one said, "Let's make some creatures."
"What do you mean?" said the other
"Like this" and so came the fish

The fish flopped around but didn't look happy
And so water was created for the fish to swim

The dots separated and made more and more
Creatures as well as substances

Then they met up, but one looked worried
"I've made a mistake!" it said
"What do you mean?" said the other
"I made a...a...human."
"What is that?"
"I don't know but all it does is eat and create waste!"
"Let's get out of here!"

And so the dots left and the planet was allowed to grow and thrive.
Some creations were ravaged by the humans, others cherished,
And the humans worked there way about this world.

But one thing stumped the humans:
"How were we created?"


This was a story i wrote a little while ago at BSS 2014.

OPINIONS OF A MODERN AUTHOR

This was an experimental poem I wrote a long time ago. Hope you enjoy.

What this is.

So, time to start a blog. For those of you who know me (or nah), the title of this site is based off a poem I wrote. I'll post that poem as well as many others at one point in time. It also has to do with the fact that it will be a site that i ramble about my opinions. Most of my opinions with be either about current events or personal events that I wish to share with you all but I'll post a poem or maybe a short story once in a while. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this blog!
