One Of The Biggest First Time
496 wordsI sat down on my couch, as I came back from a grueling day of school. Wait, grueling isnt the word, more like exhausting.

Uncle Frank Young Age Smoke
1,052 wordsThe brilliant person who spent their time sitting around and one day decided to pick up some of the tobacco they were growing and smoke it must have been out of their mind.

Critical Analysis Of One Art Poem
717 wordsThe art of losing isnt hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster (lines 1 - 3).

Poor Kitty American Wife Cat

Computer Systems Year 2000
290 wordsLawyers circling over 2000 time bomb Summary In the year 2000 on January 1, there will be a shutdown of half the computers world wide. This is due to the much talked about year 2000 bug. The bug deals with a computers ability to read years as two digits such that 1997 reads 97 and 2000 reads 00. Unfortunately the 00 is understood as 1900.
