Mom And Dad Young Woman
972 wordsSlowly I rowed my canoe toward Hide Away Island, my island. The oars glided gently over the water making ripples. If you had been standing on the shore looking at the scene, Im sure you would have found it very picturesque. The setting sun was reflected by the water, and over head birds flew. I didnt take the time to enjoy the beauty though, because I know with each stroke of the oars, I got closer to my refuge. The minute my canoe scraped the sandy ground, I let out, and tied it securely to a b...

Hand On My Cheek Gave A Small Josh
1,730 wordsI saw him again. A couple of houses down from our own little bungalow, a family of four was also spending the summer on the island of St. Croix. I yelled at my 12 -year old brother to hurry up and slung my backpack over my left shoulder. Ive noticed a guy around my age down the street. I didnt know his name but I heard Dave, my step-dad refer to his family as the Williams Family. I watched as Jerry came running out of our beige summerhouse and leaping down the few concrete steps. What took you s...

The Poetry Of Black America
1,994 wordsThe Poetry of Black America "YOUR LAUGHTER and your song, your pity for the human condition, your poetic prophecy, the deep seriousness that pulses through your poems exemplify the ancient Grecian concept of the poet as the shaper and maker of our destinies, pointing the way to that one divine event toward which the whole creation moves: the brotherhood of man. " (Rampersad 364) This was the citation, with which Langston Hudges was awarded his second honorary doctorate by Howard University. One ...

Art Ive Feel
461 wordsTo see a scorned, beaten, and crucified man lying dead in the arms of his mother is an image, which can inspire overwhelming emotions within the heart of an observer. Yet, for the longest time Ive had such difficulty looking at Michelangelo's Pieta or any piece of art in this way. To me, art has never been about expressing oneself or conveying a message to others, but simply creating an image for the sake of beauty and perfection. When I look at the Pieta I see a cold, solid mass of marble carve...

Three Years One Day
1,650 wordsGood morning. I dont think I can even begin to relate just how terrifying this is, so heres what Im gonna do instead; Ill mumble, speak much too quickly, avoid all eye contact, and use overly-dramatic hand gestures. And since its too early in the morning and school year to picture any of you naked, this have to do. In my lifetime, my family has owned and sheltered over one hundred and fifty dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, and various other species. My residence has acted as both a foster home ...

Computers And The Internet Billion Years
1,946 wordsDo you see fragmentation in the Linux distribution market to be a good, bad, or neutral thing? Do you think that the media frenzy over Linux tends to harm other worthy OS projects like the BSDs and BeOS? Do you think that big businesss entry into the Linux market will change the gift-culture aspects of Linux, or will the businesses in question adapt to Linux? Or both?

Dont Love Great Deal
3,924 wordsTom Comes Home page 84 TOM was to arrive early in the afternoon, and there was another fluttering heart besides Maggie's when it was late enough for the sound of the gig wheels to be expected; for if Mrs Tulliver had a strong feeling, it was fondness for her boy. At last the sound came that quick light bowling of the gig wheels and in spite of the wind which was blowing the clouds about, and was not likely to respect Mrs Tulliver's curls and cap-strings, she came outside the door, and even held ...

Make You Feel Existence Of God
3,641 wordsEither God exists or He doesnt. There is no middle ground, and any attempt to remain neutral in relation to Gods existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a moot question, because if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. This is kind of unfortunate for someone like myself, because Ive always lived on that nonexistent middle ground. Until now Ive never been put in a position where it was questioned. Th...

In most cases, that person would work very hard to accomplish their hearts desire. However, a person may feel life has nothing to offer him, or her in this world; People who think this way are either ignorant or are deceiving themselves.

Buster Keaton Cary Grant
2,315 wordsThe Meaning of Chow (Its In His Mouth) Ultimately, it comes down to his mouth. Chow Yun-Fat is the coolest movie actor in the world today, and the only way I can explain this is to talk about his mouth. He does cool things with his mouth. Smoking cigarettes is no longer an emblem of cool in the USA, but Chow does wonders with cigarette smoke in Prison On Fire. Director Ringo Lam understands this; like most of the great Hong Kong directors, he loves using slow motion and freeze frames to pinpoint...

This note should be pretty easy to understand.

Although there is noone to my knowledge that has a copyright on the names of feds and wrestlers etc. But I have experienced some angry wrestlers that were arguing of the rights to use the name Hard Time.
