The Non-Conformist

They are the transmissions of despair The locomotives of ludicrous disaster The pistons of poison rushing through rushing to who Whom what where Ever...they are are... There. The raucous and calamity of treachery - despised but kept, hidden but un-swept, too much often when dealt. They are the caked on slime Dried over time Stubborn mules, the prime Suspects: they subject their objects as prospects of failure never sitting always intending to declare a new charge - invisible, undetectable, but reachable. They win as they wind up and down up and down and around from the sky to the ground... It doesn't help to frown. They don't pay for where the sleep they never sleep - always growing never snoring no need for exploring... Forever imploring. Stop they cannot will not - not like the brakeless training bikes training wheels out of sight big and small like tikes - not like Mike. They are the frenemies that tend to be present endlessly and to change that means to shame their game st

I don't love you. Even though I don't love... You stole my heart. The electricity and fluttery butterflies they made me shake...stiffly You only fooled me... Lying and smiling all the same, but I am okay....I smile on. So what If I don't laugh, and really you don't care? So what if I no longer cry, and you stare... Hopefully... Until then enjoy the latest distraction the Main attraction... I will...

Writing Project Proposal I am choosing to complete the Educational Project, with the three week poetry unit, because it fits into my profession as an English teacher as well as helping to establish my ability to produce quality lesson plans. Being a particularly “young” teacher, I do not have a great deal of experience making unit plans, especially one that covers such a broad range of content. The ultimate goal of the poetry unit is to have students understand the connection between form and content of poetry. They will develop a richer sense of poetic form providing meaning or theme, and how it is a product of its time. This simply means understanding how society and/or environment informs the structure and content, and vice versa. In the end, students will have explored several different forms, the histories, purposes and influences (or results) of the forms and poems written in such a way. They will have also experienced writing their own poems in the different poetic forms

As of late, I've come to realize that everybody ain't happy for you to be happy. It's funny, because happiness should bring happiness, but people start in on their own lack of happiness and things get ugly... I am happy and am in love. Haters are real. Jealousy is real. Envy is real. Why me? I don't have all there is to have in the world that money can buy and I'm not exactly where I want to be in life, so what's the big deal? I am happy for you, for all that you have done, will do, and are doing. You've made gains in your personal and spiritual life it seems, but there is something, some thing that is keeping you from living in your happiness. I remember a sermon stating that in order to have happiness things have to happen in your life. Things have happened in my life, both good and bad, but I choose to relish the good. How do we get back to love? I have grown. I've grown up. I am grown. I am no longer the girl looking for love. I lost sight

New Year. New You. Same Resolutions. The Alternative: GOALS. Make short-term and long-term goals that are attainable, realistic, and worth achieving. If you want to reach an ideal weight, make that your long-term goal in a reasonable amount of time, and your short-term goals can weekly (or bi-weekly) weight goals. My Fitness Pal App is awesome for this particular goal, and it allows to enter the foods you eat while setting you with a daily calorie intake. Of course, exercise is a must. If you want to increase your self-esteem/-concept/-confidence, look in the mirror and accept the nose, eyes, lips, and hair that you have. Smile, and accept that too. Do daily affirmations in the mirror. Then, as you grow more confident, do things that are challenging for you. If you want to be happy, at peace, or feel complete, pray. Just pray ask God to forgive you, make you new, teach you how to be who HE wants you to be, and move you completely out of the way so that HE can reign i

I guess it would be completely out of order to skip out on wishing everyone a happy new year, so Happy New Year! (And, did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Oh. It doesn't matter anyway, it wasn't about you, right?) Of course, with the ringing in of the new year in a church, home, or club, we have the never-ending, over-indulgent, unrealistic task of making resolutions. Ha! Well, not everyone, but all in the media, the questions pour in and the answers seep between the lips of liars like smoke. (Ok, so no one lies, it just doesn't work out the way you planned it...right?) Resolutions just aren't what they should be. Messy, drama-filled people say they won't let nothing worry them and that they're going to do them. Lazy people say their going to stack their money up. Lost, disconnected, and discontent people say they will find the right person to be with this year, and it's going to be real. The discouraged say they'll go back to school
