Sonnet 8

Oranges, they are just totes delish. I love them so much. A bit hard to peel, but very much worth the effort for the sweet treasure within. (The tiny ones like Cuties are not quite as wonderful)
Today I was doing school at my neighbor's house while her kids slept and she and her husband were at the doctor's office. (I think that is where they were) I was reading a book as quickly as I could. I had to bust out 20 chapters today. (Not quite done yet.) I read from about 7:15 until about  11:00. I read 18 chapters. (I suppose that is really slow. I am no speed reader.) While reading, I had this strange thought. After I finish cramming all of this knowledge into my mind (A week's worth of history every 1-2 days) I do not know what I will do with myself. Even now, when I take a break because my eyes are too tired to read another word, I crave more. I am going to be so mentally bored after all of this. I think I will read Bill Nye's new book that I heard about on the news. I am sure that will entertain me. Show me what the atheist believes. Perhaps I will listen to his debates with Ken Ham. Perhaps I will devote all of my now free time to writing. That would be a pleasant thing. 
Recently, a young fellow (probably about 16 years old) has adopted me as his confidante, his place to vent his frustrations. I am not sure how I feel about this, so as long as he keeps his language clean, I will let him vent. I find it strange that he trusts me; he hardly knows me. I hope that by venting he is able to just let all of this go, I don't want negative emotions to take over and completely ruin him. (I have met people like that) 
Yesterday I asked the head lifeguard (The one with the nice beard, who intends to be my boss next year) if he knows my name. He said that Mr. Tangerine Speedo (That is what I am nicknaming the one that was my instructor.) and one that I met at driver's ed know my name. I was like well yeah, another one knows my name too. (I gave her my number) In short, the head guard does not know my name. I know his name though. (He cussed with surprise.) I left without telling him my name. (I like a bit of mystery.) Now I will give you a poem. Let's see.... I will make it right now. (10 minutes later) Actually I will have to post it tomorrow. Someone is telling me to hurry up. (You cannot rush art.) Um, lets see. Sonnet 8 then.

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear:
Mark how one string sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire, and child, and happy mother,
Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee, 'Thou single wilt prove none'.

Why does the music make you sad?
Sweets do not fight with sweets, joy delights in joy
Why do you love what makes you sad?
Or do you enjoy receiving what annoys you?
If good music
By unions created (married...wink wink nudge nudge)
They do gently chide you, who surprises
In singleness the parts you should bear
See how one string is the husband of another
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering
Resembling father, son and happy mother
Who all together sing a pleasing note
Whose speechless song sung by many (voices) sounds as one
Sings to you, "If you stay single, you will only last one generation."


Sorry my post was late again. I do not think I have to babysit tomorrow. Have a good day.

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

Master's Camp 2018

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th per...
