Hey guy and dolls

new URL taken from the poem I just posted.

www.animmenseanatomyofsound.blogspot.com

thought I'd let you know.

peace

Attention, Beeyotches.

We all have talents and we all have skills. And since I don't see anyone getting paid or recognized in any way for any of the content of this blog or our personal blogs, that means that nothing here is anyone's "thing". The whole point of writing club was for ALL of us to be able to just write and post whatever the hell we felt like, and maybe get some feedback. THE POINT IS TO WRITE--nobody cares if you are J.D. Fucking Salinger or not. If you guys keep adding these passive aggressive little, "well I'm not as good as _____ " messages, no one's going to want to post anything. So knock it off.

If you like something someone wrote, tell 'em. If you don't, tell 'em as kindly as possible, with some suggestions. If you can't live with this kind of writing community, GTFO. There will be no snowflakes here.

(P.S. This has nothing to do with any of you personally--it's just a rule for the group that I intend to enforce from now on. If you post something with a qualifier like the one above, I'll delete your post.)

Grumble. Snow. Grumble. Read SLHS kids.

Due to the snow day, finals will be taken tomorrow.



For those students that need to take finals, you STILL have to show up.



For those students that DO NOT need to take finals because of either perfect attendence or have missed 2 days and still maintain an A in a class, DO NOT have to show up tomorrow!

The assembly was cancelled so those that do need to take finals have more time.



THIS IS A URGENT! WE NEED TO COPY AND REPOST IT AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE!

Send out mass texts, facebook, myspace, blogspot, or any other source to comminucate with a mass majority of the school.



Mr. Adams is trying to get this on the radio but Mrs. Lizardi thought Student Council could spread it just as fast. So if you have any questions, message a Student Council person.



Thanks guys and repost this!

Frankenstein, as told by De Lacey (memory games)

Pertaining to what occurred in the cabin

In the cabin I was left alone
When someone knocked
and entered my home
I let him sit
and he didn't mind
my old age
or the fact that I was blind
He began to tell me his story
He told me of his worry
He wished to befriend a family
But of rejection he had a fear
I told him not to worry
As approaching steps we did hear
He suddenly confessed that this family
Whom he loved, in fact, was my own
And I realized that in teaching Safie
A knowledge of French was in him sewn
He had been restocking our firewood
and shoveling our snow
He had watched and loved us
He had been alone
But before I could learn his identity
My son entered, attacking this man
And although he only did it to protect me
He was frightened and he ran.



Impressions of the Creature

He was courteous and self controlled
He was respectful of the old
He was honest and polite
He tried to do what was right
He was alive, just like you
He knew what he did do
He longed for a friend
but his appearance did not lend
He knew love and hate
Though his temper wasn't great.




Feelings of fear and woe

I had no Idea
of what was going on
So I was full of fear
Until the man was gone.
After things were explained
I wasn't scared at all
Except, for that poor creature
Who's faith in man would fall.




A Means to an End

My own daughter had fainted
And my daughter-in-law had fled
They all feared if we stayed their
That we would wind up dead.
So as soon as we possibly could,
We packed up everything we knew we would
Need to keep with us, as we should,
And moved away, for our own good.

Editorial in the White Mountain Independent

I didn't write this, but we all know who did. It was published in the newspaper! I'm so proud of Blake.
=]


To the Editor:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

As of one week ago, Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States of America.
For those of you who dislike Obama:
"Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House -- a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share..."
"As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies, but friends though passion may have strained it, it must not break our bonds of affection. And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too."
- Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2008
Before the discontent towards our new president begins, whether you do not like him because of his race, age, experience, religion, backround or policies, remember this:
This man, the newest "commander-in-chief" of this great nation, is about to embark on a journey to raise this country from the ashes. He hopes to build America back to the state it should be and hold it there by building it on the foundations our forefathers left for us: the ability secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
He has a rough path ahead of him. He enters in war time, with the economy at its lowest since the Great Depression, party lines are rarely crossed, and America is no longer the superpower it once was. He needs our support now and he will need it even more these next four years. Give the man a chance.

Blake Anderson, Show Low.
