Music Rejects Stan

I am music, and Stan, you don't deserve to listen to me. Thats right you just got rejected. Now the next time you put on those headphones you better not press play cause i don't feel like flowing through your ears anymore. Just kidding, music doesn't have a preference. Go ahead and listen all you want.

My Love

I love you Slightly Stoopid. You are one of the greatest bands I have ever listened to. Everyday when I'm stressed out and need to chill out I can listen to one of your songs and feel better. I still have yet to hear a song by you guys that I don't enjoy. I love your unique style and how much of a variety of music you produce. I also love your ability to keep reggae and rock in a lot of your music. Thank you Slightly Stoopid and please continue to make amazing music.

Macbeth

Macbeth has been alright for me so far, but I am having some trouble comprehending whats going on. A lot of the language used is complicated and i have a hard time making sense of it. When we go over it as a class I understand a lot better. I don't think it's that gruesome yet but I can tell it will get a lot worse, knowing there's a murder in each act. I enjoy being able to listen to the story and follow along which I think may help me to realize whats going on.

Thomas A Becket

Thomas A Becket was an Archbishop of Canterbury and was born in London on December 21, 1118. He died on December 29, 1170. He learned how to read at the Merton Abbey and also studied in Paris. Becket was murdered at his altar by a swift swing of a sword, and this was blamed on King Henry II. Becket was canonized in 1172 and a shrine was created for the mourning of his death.

Writing

When I was a freshman, my papers were always horrible. I did not know a lot of the terms used in high school such as thesis and hook and i did not know how to compose the huge essays i do now. I still have troubles when writing today and I really don't enjoy writing a lot. Researching and citing are also really time consuming and annoying. If I'm writing about something I really like I'm sure I could deal with it but I would rather not be working on big essays and reports that take hours to do. I know that writing is going to be a key skill I will need in college so I'll keep going at it. -"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say." ~Anaïs Nin

My Hero

My Grandpa Cunat would have to be my hero. He passed away on July 22th 2008, at 91 years old, which was a very hard day for me and my family. My Grandfather was a medic in World War II for eight years and earned four bronze stars. He got them for being on the beaches of Normandy and for bravery. He was also an electrical engineer for WCPO television station for 30+ years. When i was a young child i spent a lot of time with him and we would always take long walks at Woodland Mound Park. He taught me many life lessons that you cant learn from just anywhere. He would go to church almost everyday and was a very holy man. My Grandpa was the wisest man i knew and i miss being able to have conversations with him. He showed me how to be a man and how to live my life the right way and i don't think most people have a Grandpa like i did. I hope to someday be like my Grandpa and live a long fulfilling life like he did.
