La la lala, Spring is in the air and I'm a flower with nothing interesting to say.

     Spring is great. The indications that spring is on it's way is snow slowly melting away the days and nights are getting warmer and more humid. That is my favourite kind of weather. Misty warm mornings... just the best.
     My birthday is in the spring time so... yay.
     "They call it daylight savings but do they calculate the cost?" Sweet song.
     ANYWAY! The assembly today was the best an assembly can get which isn't saying much but at the same time it's saying a lot... ya know?!
I would have enjoyed it much more if he didn't recycle some of his jokes that he told two years ago like the trip over cracks 'n stuff.
Also the ending story, though touching, seemed staged I don't think any kid in high school would be saying things like "It's waying heavy on me and I need someone to help carry the weight."

Whelp! That is all. Good assembly. A Bug's Life rocks. Spring is great 'cept the rain.

Politics in Schools.

     Well, with Co-Prez speeches within the next hour I guess it's fitting to talk about 'em.
I think there is no politics in schools it's just pretty pointless and I'll talk about why soon enough.
School don't need Co-Presidents. Straight up. What do they do? What has anyone in the past done that you really noticed around the school? Recycling bins in the halls? I don't even know if that is something the Co-Prez's have done. My point is that the Co-Prez's are pointless.

     Oh yes, the Co-Prez elections are definitely a popularity contest because if you're promising stupid shit that no one cares for but you're friends with everyone in the school then you've got it in the bag. But if someone not as popular runs but has great ideas they may as well give up while they're ahead.

     I am not voting today because I haven't for my entire time at this school and I don't want to break the Co-Prez tradition... also I don't have a student card but I still wouldn't vote even if I did.

There's a hidden message in there. Look for it. *snicker*

What the world needs now is...

     Dear, Wolverine

     I know that we've been fighting in this epic battle for quite some time and I understand we will be fighting again on the 15th. We've called each other names, you've had me broken and bruized, I've had you begging for mercy but, there's something I need to say.
     We need to put this senseless fighting aside because, well, I love you Wolverine! I always have. The way your claws shine in the high beams of Doctor Doom's massive flying carrier, the way you're anger is conveyed through your brute strength. The way you always know what I'm going to hit you with next may it be a Shoryuken or Hadouken you perservere through it all. I guess I just thought... we could maybe, team up this time around and be partners... or more. I know I have Ken but I don't care!
     I needed you to know this. It's been weighing heavy on me ever since I first layed my eyes on you on October 4th, 1996 in X-Men vs Street Fighter.
     So, on February 15th, we'll meet on the battlefield you, a mutant. Me, a street fighter. If you don't feel the same way I understand and we will continue this rivalry that we've kept up for decades or you can come and meet me half way on these feelings and together we can conquer all.

     Sincerely, your lover and rival, Ryu. xoxo

Nevermore.

This poem, written by Edgar Allen Poe, is titled The Raven it is definitely without a doubt his most well known poem. Or the most well known in the world.
Hell, Simpsons did a parody on it!

Alright, I chose this poem for it's suspense as the man tries to hide from his fears and tension between the character and the Raven.

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more."

That right there is a perfect example of the suspense in this poem. It's just so good!

"But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!"

"Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'"

BOOM! The tension between the Raven and the main character is palpable. So pretty much this is awesome. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys poetry. I don't even enjoy poetry that much yet this poem just gets to me... it's powerful.

If you can't read without pictures like me, then check out this awesome version of The Raven with art by Ben Templesmith!
Templesmith has great and unique art. Look 'im up!

Now, I don't read much poetry but The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is my favourite poem.
