reflection
This was an intresting assiment, I may have not have written as much as I should have but I wrote when I could. One difficulty I had in writing these blogs was finding the time to write them. I love writing freewrite and all that I write starts out as a freewrite and I go back afterwards to do corrections. I loved the promts I found to do this and I believe I would love to continue this assiements and continue writing. I am sure with practice my blog entries would grow in numbers other then getting one or three a week. I also like the comments that I got and reading others blogs. I did find issues finding my peers blogs and only read blogs to people who comment to my blog postings and then read from people who commented them. I also found the formating a little weird and that I couldn't get a regular back ground to my typeing and the organizing of the blog confuses me. This was a fun assiment but it also kinda got pushed to the back burner of everything, I write every day but usually its in a journal or on microsoft word. But on google I rarely use it and only use google docs as a back up.

10/1
Use
these words: Plastic Bottle, Hockey puck, dirty handkerchief, crumpled note,
unhinged door. Ok I lied about not using Fan fiction characters, this was
unplanned but this is what came out when I started writing. The Characters are
from the anime Axis Powers: Hetalia and this is not based in the same universe
as the cannon.

Matthew sighed as he
entered his dorm room, his duffle bag slung over his shoulder and his school
bag by his side. Closing the door Matthew crossed the room and went to his side
of the dorm that he shared with his twin brother. Setting his duffle bag
heavily onto his made bed, Matthew sighed pushing his hair out of his face.
Setting on the bed Matthew pulled his shoulder bag to his side and started
going through it before realizing his duffle bag was to close to the edge. With
the pressure of him sitting on the bed the duffle bag fell off hitting the
ground with a heavy thud. A hockey puck
rolling out of the side pocket, sighing Matthew fell back wondering if anything
else could go wrong that day. A bang startled him out of his thoughts causing
him to jackknife up.
“Yo Mattie you hear!” A
loud voice called.
Matthew winced at the
loud tone, and stood up resting his shoulder on the door frame of his bed room.
In the living space of the dorm, he saw his brother Alfred moving around the
room, dropping his bags and books as he went. Plopping on the sofa Alfred
drained his water bottle and tossed the empty plastic bottle towards the trash. The bottle bounced off the wall
and landed into the trashcan.
“Do you have to be so
loud Al?” Matthew asked still leaning on the doorframe.
“I’m not loud, I’m just
to awesome to be quite. Maybe you should be louder, people can’t hear you half
the time.”
“Only because they are
to deaf to hear me after talking with you.”
Alfred stuck his tongue
out before turning to the TV, they had searching through the games under the
small table between the sofa and TV stand.
“Don’t you have
homework?” Matthew asked entering the room fully.
“Nope, finished it
before practice.”
“With or without Arthur’s
help?”
“I can do my homework
without his help for your information.”
“Sure Al.” Matthew said
before turning back to his room and grabbed his shoulder back.
Shouldering it Matthew
walked through the living space towards the door.
“Where ya going Mat?”
Alfred called from the floor in front of the game station.
“Someplace quit to
study. Knowing you the volume will be all the way up.” Matthew said leaving the
dorm before his brother could say anything else.
Walking through the
dorm building Matthew left the building and went out onto the green lawn of the
campus. The school was a high school or sorts but it was mostly used to get
people from different countries together and form friendships all while
learning together. Matthew and Alfred were from the United States, but Matthew preferred
to be associated with their Mother’s country Canada. They found out about the
school in their 9th grade year of school and they thought it was interesting,
and would give them experience with other people from other countries. They
were now in their final year of school. The architecture was a mix of regions
in hopes to help the students and staffs feel at home. Walking across the green
Matthew looked for a spot to sit in the shade, a few students were outside most
either still in class or in an after school program.
“Alfred.” A voice said
causing Matthew to stop.
Looking to the side Matthew
saw Arthur walking towards him.
“Alfred I was wondering…”
“I’m Matthew Arthur.”
“What? Oops sorry
Matthew.”
“It’s alright, Al’s at
the dorm.”
“Thank you and I do
apologize.”
“It’s alright, it’s not
like it’s the first or last time someone mixes us up.”
“So where are you
heading?”
“Just looking for someplace
to study.” Matthew said shrugging.
“The grove was clear
last I checked.” Arthur said before hearing his phone chirp.
Digging through his bag
Arthur pulled his phone out dropping a muddy handkerchief. Arthur read his text
message and looked at the ground frowning.
“Sorry about that.”
Arthur said picking up the handkerchief.
Noticing Matthew’s puzzled
look he explained.
“Francis dropped it
into a puddle when we were arguing.” Arthur said holding the dirty handkerchief up. “Any way you
should try the grove.”
“Thanks Arthur.”
Matthew said waving good-bye
and headed for the grove of trees, that was popular with students. Walking
through the trees Matthew found a low stonewall and sat on it before pulling
his books out and leaning his back against a pillar at the end of the wall.
Pulling a notebook out and a clip board Matthew started doing his assignments
enjoying the quite scenery. Half an hour passed and Matthew was doodling in his
notebook when he felt something hit him. Looking down Matthew saw a crumbled up
piece of paper on the ground. Frowning Matthew leaned down and picked up the
paper. Opening it, he realized it was a note assigned to him; frowning Matthew
looked around but saw no one. Reading the crumbled
note Matthew frowned at its words.
Matthew,
Met
me in the library in two hours.
G.B.
Confused Matthew sighed
guessing who sent the note, slipping it into his pocket Matthew stood up and
figured he might as well drop his stuff off at his dorm and get something to
eat before he goes to the library.
~two hours later~
Matthew stopped at the library
entrance looking around for the person he suspected gave him the note. Not seeing
them, Matthew entered the library. Nodding to the librarian Matthew quickly
made his way to the history section having an idea where to find the note
giver. The history section was large and had any topic you could think about
from history. Moving to the Germanic section Matthew noticed white, changing
directions Matthew approached the table sitting in the chair across from the
Whitenette. Sitting quietly for a few seconds Matthew tapped the book that the
man was reading, the man jumped started but quickly grinned upon seeing
Matthew.
“You came!”
“Of course, but couldn’t
you just came to me and ask?”
“What fun would that
be?”
“You are so strange
sometimes Gilbert.”
“I’m awesome like that.”
Gilbert said grinning.
“So is there a purpose
to this meeting?”
“Not really I wanted
company while I did research.”
“Since when do you want
company? You may act like you are a people person but you don’t like being
around people that’s why you annoy them.”
“Your different you are
quite and don’t talk about useless things. Take today in class for example we
were suppose to talk about the formation and movement of Germanic tribes but
instead we got into story time when someone almost unhinged the door.”
“May I ask who almost
unhinged the door?”
“Who do you think, your
idiot of a younger brother. He forgot the door opened the opposite direction
and bent the hinges when he ran into it.”
Matthew laughed “Well
at least you know his training in foot ball is going great.”
“Who cares about foot
ball, we are in class for a reason not to have story time. The only good thing
that happened was when the teacher had Alfred fix the door.”
Matthew smiled and
leaned back in his chair “So what are you reading?”
Gilbert quickly perked
up and started talking about the different German tribes that were around Roman
times his face lighting up and his motions animated. Matthew shifted comfortably
in his chair and listened glad he came.

Rant
Hey everyone this is just me ranting and such, you may learn something about me in this but I need to do this. Maybe I will be able to finish a story after this. I love writing and I experince writers block just like everyone else. But one thing I hate more then writers block is being overwhelmed by plot ideas. This lasty week I have created six diffrent plot ideas for a site I go onto all the time called Fanfiction. For those who don't know what Fanfiction is let me explain. Its something someone does when they write something envolving someone else's characters that you do not own. I have been on a fanfiction website since July 14, 2012, it has helped me learn to write and expand on plot lines and diffrent styles of writing. I have a total of 26 stories posted on the site and more are in the making. But having Fanfiction in my head also makes my head cluttered due to my own characters and plotlines. I have been creating some of my plotlines or characters since 5th grade. One of my oldest characters is my take of the myth of the bringer of winter, his character is based off of a mix of legends about the bringer of Winter. His name is the norse version Jökul Frosti, his relationship with spring is similar but not quite to the legend of the Russian Father Frost. His personality is the mixture of the two above with the additive of Grandfather Frost and Jack Frost. But he isn't my only character, I also have a character named Väi. He is one of my most abused characters, when ever I have a bad day he always ends up suffering. I don't know why but when I feel sad I start to push that feeling onto him, he is one of my more depresing characters but his personality is kind and friendly. But with all these characters in my head last counted I had over 200 named characters I could think off the top of my head that are my own characters and at most that many I work with in fanfiction. I see insperation for all these characters every where I go. It could come from what I see, hear, or even an arguement I have with my sister. I love writing but sometimes I feel overwhelmed and just want to be by myself. Some may think I am crazy because I seem to have arguements with myself and whole conversations and I may be a little bit. But I talk to figure out conversations and I act out what my characters are doing. Thats why is anyone watches me when I start talking they can see i move from place to place and look as if I am holding things or I change the way I stand. This post was complety random but I need to put this out, my other posts have hinted to my characters. I try to seperate my personal stories from my Fanfiction so don't expect to see me talking about my stories in Fanfiction, I will only use my own characters through this.
Thank you for being patiant with this rant and hope I didn't bore you.
Ciao.

Prompt: You're in a room full of people and you're the only blind person there. Describe the room and the people in your mind.
A/N I chose this prompt because I figure it would give me practice for writing one of my characters who was born blind. Also just finished writing it and I didn't stick with what the prompt says my bad wasnt paying attention to what I was saying.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I lean against the wall, the cool hard stone pressed against my back and the air in front of me hot and stiffling. People walk by me not seeing me or anyone else lost in their own worlds, they are to busy to stop and listen to their enviroment. They can't hear the splash of the fountains, or the pitched laughter of children. They can't feel the breeze thats steals its way into the building, making them shift their jackets without being aware of doing it. There voices a deafing sound constently overlapping and envolving all who were near by. At a kiask a man from the sound of the voice and the heavy shift of his feet, dropped some of his change pulling out of his pocket. No one stopped, the sound of the man dropping to his knees making a muffled thud. One of the coins rolled to my boot, kneeling I felt for the coin. The coin was smooth with a textured surface and a bumpy edge, the size telling me it was a quarter. Stepping from the wall, I begain to dodge shoppers some not even bothering to apologize when they ran into me or I them. The man stands before I make it to the Kiask, I can hear moving to talk to the owner. With out a word I set the coin down near the man, then turn and walk away extanding my cane. the sight of the cane makes people avoide me, reminding me why I hated having the thing. Making me wish I didn't have to relly on this piece of plastic and medal to make sure I didn't trip over something. And make people realise I am not like them and they either see me as below them or they pity me. I am just like them why can't they see that? Why are they more blinded then I who by defination is blind.

In 400 words, write your ideal place.
A/N this is 399 words long so close enough.
_________________________________________________________________________________
A/N this is 399 words long so close enough.
_________________________________________________________________________________
My ideal place would be wide and clear, nature all
around me. There will be thickets of conifers scattered across the open fields
of grass and snow. The wind will be clean and cool, and pull the snow from its
slumber on the ground and dance across the air. Herds of deer would wonder from
wood to wood, and the howls of wolves could be heard in the distance. There
would be scattered villages with wood board houses and smoke curling from the
chimney. The people would be a community living in a simpler time and welcome a
friendly new face. There would be gathering around the fire and stories would
be told and songs sang. Back to the country there would be signs of winter
everywhere even in the depths of summer. The songs of winter will play year
round and though the days could be grey, you can still see the beauty in
everything. The forests will be quite havens to all who enter and be a
completely different world. Everything would be quite and you can feel the beat
of something ancient pulsing under your feet. Like a church the forest will
give a presence of something greater then you and you will be safe in its
recesses. Above you can hear the songs of birds, and feel the touch of the sun
as it streams through the branches. The sounds of the beasts of the forest will
alert you to their presence and if you are lucky could see the grace of an old
stage, or the sight of a laughing wolf in the confines of the woods. As you
walk further you can feel something guiding you, deeper into the forest to the
heart. You can also smell the sharp scent of cedar and pine as you crush there
needles under your feet, and the crisp smell of snow. In the heart you would
find a massive structure of white marble. A city seemingly grown from the
ground reaches towards the sky, the top of the highest tower gleaming in the
winter sun. Around the city are empty fields and the boundary of the woods and
city marked by white tiles of marble. The city is left empty and perfect the
power of the world radiating from its walls, and if you are quite you can hear
the knowledge of times long since passed.

Look at a magazine and find a picture that appeals to you. Cut it out, paste it in your notebook and write about it.
Picture is from Fairbanks Alaska and I do not own it.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Picture is from Fairbanks Alaska and I do not own it.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I am changing this due
to the fact google images is easier to get then from a magazine. Now that I got
that little detail out of the way, let’s begin. Please be warn I will properly
make this more like a story and most of this will be a free write without me
going back and rewriting it.
The
sun stains the sky with pinks and purples as it slowly sinks below the horizon
masked by a screen of furs. Distant from the heavens is the cold ground, where
ice creeks and groans as it spreads its deadly fingers across a glossy surface,
and the slumbering trees. In the distance a abandon farm lies pass an iron
bridge, that once carried the lives blood of the land. Closer was an impressive
estate that even in its faded state still gives a glory that ravels the nature
that slowly chokes it. In front of the estate lies a black river of ice that
crumbles more and more each passing season. The people are gone, but the trees
that slumber in there icy cocoons remember. They remember the laughter of
children who skated across the frozen recesses of the pond, and the yells of
mothers who beckoning their young ones in for night was near. The fathers came
from the barns, and woods bundles of wood clutched to their sides. They
remember the bellowing of cattle in the barn and the whinnies of the horses.
But those are gone now the only sounds being that of a lone wolf, or the
screams of a pheasant as a fox kills it. The pond is empty of children and remains pristine in its natural state, waiting for the thawing of spring. The trees bow their branches in the cold wind, that signals that winter has only begun and that the emptiness will remain.
Tsubasa Chronicles - Break the Sword of Justice
Please ignore the figure in the middle, this song is a character song for one of the characters in the anime called Tsubasa Chronicles.
Sound tack of my life
If you were to select music for a soundtrack of the day you’ve had, what songs would you play in the background? Why?
_________________________________________________________________________________
Also sorry about posting this late, I wrote it but for some reason it didn't post to the site. Also this is a thought I just had after rereading what I have I will be putting on attempting to put all the songs I have in this on my blog.
_____________________________________________________________________________
If I had a sound track for a day I have had I would have a wide range, I will pick a day from my Junior year of High school. The reason for this is due to the fact that I always had my MP3 on me and the songs I always played to fit the class I was in. I also experience some moments where the song would mention something I was talking about seconds before. So here is a start of one of the days in my Junior year, please note that I may mix somethings up so please don't assume that the topics in the class were happening at the same time.
Waking up 6:00 A.M.
Song White Night True Light English version sung by Vic Mignogna.
This song was an actual song I woke up to for multiple reasons, for one I loved the song and the other is a deeper reason. But before I tell you those meanings I believe you should know what the lyrics are.
Darkness of white
You can through the sadness take your flight
And become the wings
That pierce the veil
Spreading strong and true tonight.
Brought into the light at last
By the cold exposing sun.
I was granted freedom tamed
To become the chosen one.
Through the mirror,
Night reflected;
Miraculous to see!
My soul threw away the mask
That hides the deeper me.
Breaking the dark of night,
Piercing through the painted white.
Cut it all away
From yesterday
'Til an new era's in sight.
Unlock the heart within,
Let it spread its wings and soar.
Rising up in flight
Through the night of white
And fly on forever more!
When ever I hear this song I always think of new beginnings and how one should put the past behind them and look forward to the future. This I believe is a great song in my opinion to wake up too.
At school before the bell rings 7:20 to 8:05
Song:Hey Brother by Avicii
The reason for this song is the fact that this is my only chance to talk to all my friends at once. I am the oldest of my friends and the only one to be in Junior year. My three closest friends were Sophomores and a Freshman. This song is in a way how we worked and how we saw each other as siblings and we will do anything for each other and we are still friends till this day.
First hour: Math Algebra B
Song:Bone Shatter (Never say Never) by Hedley
I pick this song because no matter how much I dispise doing math, I have to keep doing it and get better at doing it.
A Bone shatters, fall apart and hit the floor
If it doesn't thrill you it doesn't matter any more
Bones shatter, maybe don't go out this time
No matter where you've been or who you are
If it doesn't kill you it's sure to leave a horrible scar
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time
So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
I've been better seen a brighter side of life
But any friend of the failure's a friend of mine
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time
So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
Ill be fine
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over
Second hour: Graphic design
Song: Winter Breath by Adrian von Ziegler
This song is purely instremental and I picked this because it insperes me and make me want to draw and be creative. I can draw so many diffrent pictures just by listening to one song. This can bring peace to a scenery or tradigy. I picked this specific song due to my habit of drawing winter scenry and my color palat being winter colors.
Third hour: Personal Finance
Song: I can go the distance by Michael Bolton
The reason for this song is the fact that in the class we learned how to manage finances, and to manage our money. I see in this song that someone who wants to be successful and to have a family. And that no matter how hard things will get they will keep going to find their happy ending.
Lyrics
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
Fourth hour English III
Song: Final Solution by Sabaton
The reason I chose this song was because at this time we were reading the graphic novels Mous and I commonly listened to music while I was reading. Other songs that I listened to while in this unit were; Screaming Eagles, Panzerkampf, Attero Dominatus by Sabaton, Greenfields by Celtic Thunder, etc.
Lyrics
Lunch
Song:Je Suis un Homme by Zazie
I am having the English translation in the lyrics but the song is in French. I picked this song because it is how I see my diffrent classmates and how we represent a small portion of the human race and each line in this represents what each of us will do in our lives and futures.
Homeroom/fifth hour
Song: Keep your head up by Andy Grammer
I pick this song becuase its the middle of my day and it can be the most boring class, and this would be a song that would get me to remember to keep going and be the pep talk I would need at that moment in time.
Lyrics
I've been waiting on the sunset
Bills on my mindset
I can't deny they're getting high
Higher than my income
Incomes bread crumbs
I've been trying to survive
The glow that the sun gets
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you turn out fine.
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kicking these rocks.
It's kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buying into skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes
I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to compromise
My life and the purpose.
Is it all worth it?
Am I gonna turn out fine?
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
It's a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again.
I said,
Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
It's a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down.
I said oooh
Sixth hour: Zoology and Botany
The reason for this song is that sometimes our homework was for us to go outside and record what we find. So I am taking when she says "I went into the woods to see whay I could find" literal right now.
Song: Into the woods by Cilla Jane
Seventh hour: Geography
Song:Wavin' Glag by K'naan
At this moment in time we were near the end of the year so I was doing my last country project and the country was Canada so I was listening to many songs about or were from Canada. One song I grew to find really annoying was the English version of the national anthem due to being unable to find the mute button for a site that I got most of my information. I also would use the songs French Perfume for this due to it saying some land marks in Canada and it also tells a true story. But for this post I will use the song Wavin' Flag by K'naan. The usagae of this song is because we talked about the geography of the countries and how people work together because of the geograohy and this song I believe fits the comraidery of people and how they can work together.
Lyrics
Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it's around us, every nations, all around us
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day.
We all say,
[Chorus:]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me 'Freedom'
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes...
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
But violent-prone, poor people zone,
But it's my home, all I have known,
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
Accept no defeat, surrender retreat
[Bridge:]
So we strugglin'
Fightin' to eat
And we wonderin'
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away,
But for now we say:
[Chorus]
So many wars, settlin' scores,
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way
Love is the answer, that's what they say
But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Eighth hour: Study Skills
Song:Break the Sword of Justice
This is instrumental so no lyrics but I picked it because it is an upbeat and adventurous tone, so like how I can't wait till the last bell rings. But its also is a little dark so its also me feeling like it will take forever till the bell rings.
3:40-9:00
This is my free time and so I can have many different songs to fit in the mood I am having at that time. I also may have homework so I may be wanting to do something else but am stuck doing school work. In that case I would put "Some Beach" by Blake Shelton. But if I was working with my characters I would use a wider range of songs. I could use "Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet, or "Sleepsong" by Secret Garden. I can also put "My immortal" by Evanescence. I can also use instrumental songs from a full orchestra or one instrument. These can go from Celtic, or folk, or even the Phantom of the Opera. I think for this I will use "My Immortal" by Evanescence because it fits the way one of my characters think and how other characters react to him. And this character takes up a lot of my time in when ever I have a bad day I use him to help me get over my own sadness and be happy and positive.
Song: My Immortal by Evanescence
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
...me, me, me.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Also sorry about posting this late, I wrote it but for some reason it didn't post to the site. Also this is a thought I just had after rereading what I have I will be putting on attempting to put all the songs I have in this on my blog.
_____________________________________________________________________________
If I had a sound track for a day I have had I would have a wide range, I will pick a day from my Junior year of High school. The reason for this is due to the fact that I always had my MP3 on me and the songs I always played to fit the class I was in. I also experience some moments where the song would mention something I was talking about seconds before. So here is a start of one of the days in my Junior year, please note that I may mix somethings up so please don't assume that the topics in the class were happening at the same time.
Waking up 6:00 A.M.
Song White Night True Light English version sung by Vic Mignogna.
This song was an actual song I woke up to for multiple reasons, for one I loved the song and the other is a deeper reason. But before I tell you those meanings I believe you should know what the lyrics are.
Darkness of white
You can through the sadness take your flight
And become the wings
That pierce the veil
Spreading strong and true tonight.
Brought into the light at last
By the cold exposing sun.
I was granted freedom tamed
To become the chosen one.
Through the mirror,
Night reflected;
Miraculous to see!
My soul threw away the mask
That hides the deeper me.
Breaking the dark of night,
Piercing through the painted white.
Cut it all away
From yesterday
'Til an new era's in sight.
Unlock the heart within,
Let it spread its wings and soar.
Rising up in flight
Through the night of white
And fly on forever more!
When ever I hear this song I always think of new beginnings and how one should put the past behind them and look forward to the future. This I believe is a great song in my opinion to wake up too.
At school before the bell rings 7:20 to 8:05
Song:Hey Brother by Avicii
The reason for this song is the fact that this is my only chance to talk to all my friends at once. I am the oldest of my friends and the only one to be in Junior year. My three closest friends were Sophomores and a Freshman. This song is in a way how we worked and how we saw each other as siblings and we will do anything for each other and we are still friends till this day.
Hey brother, there’s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Hey brother, do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Hey brother, there’s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
First hour: Math Algebra B
Song:Bone Shatter (Never say Never) by Hedley
I pick this song because no matter how much I dispise doing math, I have to keep doing it and get better at doing it.
A Bone shatters, fall apart and hit the floor
If it doesn't thrill you it doesn't matter any more
Bones shatter, maybe don't go out this time
No matter where you've been or who you are
If it doesn't kill you it's sure to leave a horrible scar
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time
So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
I've been better seen a brighter side of life
But any friend of the failure's a friend of mine
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time
So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
Ill be fine
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over
Second hour: Graphic design
Song: Winter Breath by Adrian von Ziegler
This song is purely instremental and I picked this because it insperes me and make me want to draw and be creative. I can draw so many diffrent pictures just by listening to one song. This can bring peace to a scenery or tradigy. I picked this specific song due to my habit of drawing winter scenry and my color palat being winter colors.
Third hour: Personal Finance
Song: I can go the distance by Michael Bolton
The reason for this song is the fact that in the class we learned how to manage finances, and to manage our money. I see in this song that someone who wants to be successful and to have a family. And that no matter how hard things will get they will keep going to find their happy ending.
Lyrics
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
Fourth hour English III
Song: Final Solution by Sabaton
The reason I chose this song was because at this time we were reading the graphic novels Mous and I commonly listened to music while I was reading. Other songs that I listened to while in this unit were; Screaming Eagles, Panzerkampf, Attero Dominatus by Sabaton, Greenfields by Celtic Thunder, etc.
Lyrics
Country in depression, nation in despair
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger, the Führer's orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price?
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger, the Führer's orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price?
Wicked propaganda turning neighbors into foes
Soldiers of the Third Reich searching homes
And then their former friends are watching
As they are round up one by one
Times of persecution has just begun
Soldiers of the Third Reich searching homes
And then their former friends are watching
As they are round up one by one
Times of persecution has just begun
Ever since it started on Kristallnacht '38
When liberty died and truth was denied
Sent away on trains, sent on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates, Auschwitz awaits
When liberty died and truth was denied
Sent away on trains, sent on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates, Auschwitz awaits
When freedom burns the final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
There was a country in depression, there was a nation in despair
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was rising hate and anger, the Führer's order still apply
Who was to be blamed and sent to die?
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was rising hate and anger, the Führer's order still apply
Who was to be blamed and sent to die?
Ever since it started on Kristallnacht '38
When liberty died and truth was denied
Sent away on trains, sent on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates, Auschwitz awaits
When liberty died and truth was denied
Sent away on trains, sent on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates, Auschwitz awaits
When freedom burns the final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
When freedom burns the final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn the curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
Lunch
Song:Je Suis un Homme by Zazie
I am having the English translation in the lyrics but the song is in French. I picked this song because it is how I see my diffrent classmates and how we represent a small portion of the human race and each line in this represents what each of us will do in our lives and futures.
I am a caveman
I am an ape or a fish
On the earth, all year round,
I run in circles, I run in circles
I am an ape or a fish
On the earth, all year round,
I run in circles, I run in circles
I am only one, then millions
I am a man with a lion heart
At war, all year round,
I run in circles, I run in circles
I am a man with a lion heart
At war, all year round,
I run in circles, I run in circles
I am a man full of ambitions
Nice car and nice house
In the bedroom, in the living room
I run in circles, I run in circles
Nice car and nice house
In the bedroom, in the living room
I run in circles, I run in circles
I make love and revolution
I analyze the facts of the matter
I go forth, go forth backwards
I run in circles, I run in circles
I analyze the facts of the matter
I go forth, go forth backwards
I run in circles, I run in circles
You see, I'm not a man
I am the king of illusion
At heart, may I be forgiven,
I am the king, the king of fools
I am the king of illusion
At heart, may I be forgiven,
I am the king, the king of fools
I've made the world my way
Cast in gold and concrete
Caged body and prisoned heart
I run in circles, I run in circles
Cast in gold and concrete
Caged body and prisoned heart
I run in circles, I run in circles
Sitting in front of my television
I am the negation of man
Pure convenience goods
I've had it, I've had it
I am the negation of man
Pure convenience goods
I've had it, I've had it
You see, I'm not a man
I am the king of illusion
At heart, may I be forgiven,
I am the king, the king of fools
I am the king of illusion
At heart, may I be forgiven,
I am the king, the king of fools
I control fire, I control the game
I control the world, and behold what I've done with it
A frozen land, a scorched land
The land of men that men forsake!
I control the world, and behold what I've done with it
A frozen land, a scorched land
The land of men that men forsake!
I am a man with his back to the wall
Like a freak of nature
On the earth, with no other reason
I run in circles, I run in circles
Like a freak of nature
On the earth, with no other reason
I run in circles, I run in circles
I am a man and I consider
All the horror of my nature
For my trouble, my punishment
I run in circles, I run in circles
All the horror of my nature
For my trouble, my punishment
I run in circles, I run in circles
Homeroom/fifth hour
Song: Keep your head up by Andy Grammer
I pick this song becuase its the middle of my day and it can be the most boring class, and this would be a song that would get me to remember to keep going and be the pep talk I would need at that moment in time.
Lyrics
I've been waiting on the sunset
Bills on my mindset
I can't deny they're getting high
Higher than my income
Incomes bread crumbs
I've been trying to survive
The glow that the sun gets
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you turn out fine.
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kicking these rocks.
It's kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buying into skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes
I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to compromise
My life and the purpose.
Is it all worth it?
Am I gonna turn out fine?
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
It's a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again.
I said,
Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
It's a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
I know it's hard, know it's hard
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down.
I said oooh
Sixth hour: Zoology and Botany
The reason for this song is that sometimes our homework was for us to go outside and record what we find. So I am taking when she says "I went into the woods to see whay I could find" literal right now.
Song: Into the woods by Cilla Jane
I went into the woods today to see what I could find
I saw an owl and he told me
That he was wise
I went into the woods today to see what I could find
I saw a fox and he told me
To run away and hide
He said take your chances
Run and hide
(x2)
I went into the woods today to see what I could see
I saw a deer and she told me
That she was free
She said stay a while
Don't be afraid
(x2)
I went into the woods today to see what I could find
I saw an owl and he told me
That he was wise
I went into the woods today to see what I could find
I saw a fox and he told me
To run away and hide
He said take your chances
Run and hide
(x2)
I went into the woods today to see what I could see
I saw a deer and she told me
That she was free
She said stay a while
Don't be afraid
(x2)
I went into the woods today to see what I could find
Seventh hour: Geography
Song:Wavin' Glag by K'naan
At this moment in time we were near the end of the year so I was doing my last country project and the country was Canada so I was listening to many songs about or were from Canada. One song I grew to find really annoying was the English version of the national anthem due to being unable to find the mute button for a site that I got most of my information. I also would use the songs French Perfume for this due to it saying some land marks in Canada and it also tells a true story. But for this post I will use the song Wavin' Flag by K'naan. The usagae of this song is because we talked about the geography of the countries and how people work together because of the geograohy and this song I believe fits the comraidery of people and how they can work together.
Lyrics
Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it's around us, every nations, all around us
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day.
We all say,
[Chorus:]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me 'Freedom'
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes...
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
But violent-prone, poor people zone,
But it's my home, all I have known,
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
Accept no defeat, surrender retreat
[Bridge:]
So we strugglin'
Fightin' to eat
And we wonderin'
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away,
But for now we say:
[Chorus]
So many wars, settlin' scores,
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way
Love is the answer, that's what they say
But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers
[Bridge]
[Chorus]

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years

Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal

There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
...me, me, me.
9:00-10:00 Time to get ready for bed and go to sleep.
I will pick Sleepsong because its a song that is like a lullaby and is a great song to play while one falls asleep because it gets rid of all the pains of the waking life and sends you to a calming sleep.
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
[Chorus:]
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
[Chorus]
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...
