Rainy Wednesdays

So for the past thee days it has basically be non stop raining, which is not good when I want to skate. See when skaters get desprate to find dry places to skate it's bad. Luckily my friend has a warehouse whig we turned into our personal private skate park sanctuary which is always open and includes ramps and rails for us to skate. Once we got bored of skating the warehouse we decided to start lurking for some parking garages. The art to skating parking garages is to know when all the office personal go home that way you don't get spotted by any bitter civilians who would like nothing better than to yell at you just because You wanted to skate and stay out of the rain. Of course we know th perfect parking garage downtown which is totally enclosed And four stories high, first we just drive straight to the top of the garage where there is the definition of a perfect curb. For those who don't site it is basically a concrete curb with tons of wax on it to allow our skateboards to grind and slide across it. I'm hoping that it will be dry enough for me to skate tomorow, but if not it will be back to the streets lurking for those skate hideaways just for me and my homies.

The Claim Paragraph Based off of JimmehFTW's Claim

             In Walton Ford’s painting “Dying Words” the eyes are magnetized to the distressed song bird spread out in a tragic way, as if calling for a second chance at life. The gritty and detailed picture really makes it seem as if it should be people instead of song birds in the picture. The bleak tone over this entire picture shows an unsightly and grotesque picture of a dying bird. The dull reaction of the birds towards the dying birds makes it seem as if the death of a fellow bird means nothing to them, and maybe it infers that the bird is just a number and no body really cared for it.

Books Read: The Colorado Kid

1) She turned and he was coming for her. It was Jack and yet not Jack. His eyes were lit with a vancant, murderous glow; his familiar mouth now wore a quivering, joyless grin.

2) "Oh dear God!" she screamed to the Overlook's shadowy lobby, and buried the kitchen knife in his lower back up to the handle.

3) Then, as he closed on it, he recognized it and horror closed his throat. Not a wolf but a lion. A hedge lion.

4) "Cane him for it, Jacky my boy, cane him within an inch of his life."
5) "Glad you asked because curiosity killed that cat and it was the HOPE of satisfaction that brought  him."

The Colorado Kid by Stephen King

So last weekend I asked my mom if she had any good Stephen King books because I really loved reading the shining it gave me goose bumps as I turned every page of horror. She gave me a couple different choices one which was Frankenstein but after my experience with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein I didn’t want to risk another reading such as that one. When I came across this book with a lovely lady on the cover looking kind of scandalous, then I looked at the author and it was Stephen King! I read the back of the book and it really seemed to interest me. The sentence that really caught my eye was “With an All-New Investigation into the Unknown.” Doesn’t that just make you want to pick it up and start reading into the whole story?! It started the story off in a diner where The Weekly Islander writers have just walked out unsatisfied with the information they have gathered and they left two fifties under the salt shaker. That’s a lot of money. It then goes on between a conversations with the people still at the table talking about how there is a customer tab that each customer holds and it is all on the waitresses back if the customer pays or not. For example a person could come in eat everything off the menu and run and all that money would put the waitress in debt for paying for that dinner. Which I think is a really dumb idea because it would be real easy to make the diner go out of business just by dinning and dashing. The beginning of this story is kind of bleak, but that is with any introduction to a new story. You first have to know the base line material before you get into the creepy mystery crime story. I really wish it just jumped into the mysterious story line. Because although I loved the shining it did the same thing that this book is doing. Which was start with the back story and memories instead of getting to the creepy parts of the story. The creepy parts were probably the most exciting and heart pounding moments of that book, and I hope that The Colorado Kid  does the same for me like The Shining  did so well.

Claims of the Day

JimmehFTW -The painting's gritty texture, balanced use of space, selective use of colour, and dark tone leave the viewer a sense of depressing realization leading to a climactic finish.

To Kill A Mockingjay-Proenza Schouler's somber color scheme, seductive shape, and aggravated music choice, conveys a creepy and polished look for their fall 2010 collection.

The Average Life of a Teenage Bookworm-In this flash mob by Todrick Hall, the mischievous and adventurous expressions, jubilant sounds, and bustling moves, show the explosive creativity and confident energy of the dancers.

Look Up...(Now!)-This refreshingly bright photograph taken in the environmental center reflects an existence of both dreamlike tranquility and effortless freedom.

Bud in the Garden-Leonid Afremov's vibrant use of color, flowing appearance, and realistic, silky texture illustrates a feeling of whimsical relaxation and majestic euphoria.


I think that JimmehFTW does a really good job at describing and chose very interesting words to tell people about the painting. Look Up...(Now!) I really liked how they used an original picture from around Fort Wayne and it was really creative.

Sentances of the Week

1) She turned and he was coming for her. It was Jack and yet not Jack. His eyes were lit with a vancant, murderous glow; his familiar mouth now wore a quivering, joyless grin.

2) "Oh dear God!" she screamed to the Overlook's shadowy lobby, and buried the kitchen knife in his lower back up to the handle.

3) Then, as he closed on it, he recognized it and horror closed his throat. Not a wolf but a lion. A hedge lion.

My favorite sentance out of the little pages I read would have to be number one. At this point in the story Jack has indefinetly lost his freaking mind, he now believes that Wendy and Danny are planning aginst him to take the hotel from him. He now is out to kill Danny and Wendy with a roque mallet, how brutal is that!

Top Three Poems (so far)

1) "Gee, your so beautiful that it's starting to rain"
     - This poem really stood out to me because it really used surrealism in its poem, I also thought it was clever to use a report card at the end of the poem.

2) "First Kiss"
     -This is another poem that stood out to me by kind of tricking the reader. At the begining of this poem you think its just going to be another "roses are red violets are blue" poem. But in fact after  it gets past the gushy love part it tells us that after that it says that the girl is then just sitting in a room all by herself.


3) "Dust"
     -I liked this poem because it says god comes with his black wings which is different you would think they would be white.
