Rough Draft

In a beautiful part of sarasota, after a creepy mansion on the right, before the Ringling bridge, near the quiet splash of the sea, on the darkest of nights, with romantic wonder, among the smell of the ocean, we walk hand in hand through Marina Jacks! : )

Who has fed the fire in me???

Mr. Harvey..........He was the greatest teacher ever. I was lucky to have him my 5th grade year, seeing how he retired after my class. He was HUGE on language arts and that is my favorite subject! Yet, it's the one that I struggle with the most. Mr. Harvey gave me a challenge! At times I felt like he was setting me up to fail, but I did my best and pulled through. That was the year I got my first "A" in English. That "A" went straight to my head too, because I started to do homework right when I got home from school, rather than waiting until the last minute. That was the first time I felt smart. I started to irritate my mom by correcting her grammar. I still do to this day, and every time I do I think about how Mr. Harvey changed my life and lit the flame of perseverance inside me. Lately somethings been trying to put that flame out, but there are a few people, including teachers, that are trying to fuel it once again. :)

She walks in beauty...

I lay on the ground

How did I get here?

I take a quick glance around

There's a bright light somewhere near

It's now coming toward me

Should I run, Should I scream?

When my vision cleared enough for me to see

I knew I must be in a dream

The flow of your dress

Barely touching the ground

Over her I knew I would obsess

Just her presence ceased all sound

Her dress was pure white

her skin, smooth as cream

everything about her made me feel right

But could this be as real as it seems?

She walks in beauty

Leaving me behind

Her presence still seizing all sound

One last glance left me impartial and blind....

Pounding Heart...

This is a poem I wrote to my girlfriend Nicole before we even kissed...

Enjoy!!!!

I'm sitting

My feet are planted firmly on the ground

My arms are on my lap, signifying that I'm slightly uncomfortable

I'm not sure what to do

I've never met a girl like her

She doesn't realize how perfect she is

But the fact that I know she is puts a lot of stress on me

I wanna make a move

Even if it's just to hold her hand

But I can't!

I can't bring myself to do it, I don't wanna ruin anything

I look to my left

There she sits

Posture perfect

She looks over at me

I'm struck with fear!

Frozen solid in my seat, and I can't look away

My eyes locked onto her beauty

Her dirty blonde hair rests on her shoulders

Behind her glasses she hides vibrant green eyes

I'm freaking out!

What if she thinks I'm one of those creepy guys?

I can't help but stare at her

Her beauty is mesmerizing

Then, as all my fears are going through my mind, she smiles

At this point my heart is pounding and I'm probably perspiring

I feel warm inside

I wonder if she feels the same?

The dark auditorium seemed to glow

The movie seemed to have come to a stop

It was as though time itself had stopped

I can't feel my body

I don't know if I'm smiling back or not?

I hope I am, this is my chance

Before this feeling goes away I need to make my move

She moves closer to me

Moves her right hand into my left, and performs a gentile squeeze

My throat becomes parched as I move closer and bring my right hand to her flawless cheek

She closes her eyes and leans in

I do the same

The kiss feels endless

I don't want it to end

Her pretty pink lips are soft and luscious

I've waited a long time for a girl like her

As we released, I looked her in the eyes

I brushed her hair to the side

Only to kiss her again

Through her kisses I felt pain

Pain that would make her stronger

How anybody could put her through so much pain is beyond me

No one deserves that

Especially not her

She's one of a kind

And hopefully,

Destined to be mine! :)

Congrats!

I just won $100,000 dollars!? If I could truly say or scream something like that, I'd probably have a huge grin on my face. :-D If I had to give half to charity I would definitely give it to the Red Cross. They stand for a really good cause, I know because I was a part of their disaster camp two years ago over summer break. We got to run in a vacant building and hide. Then we pretended that the building was on fire and fire fighters came. They stormed the building trying to find all of us. I hid under ruble so it took them a while to find me. I just thought that was really cool that they would help fire fighters do practice runs. Thats just something we did at the camp, but they do so much more! Now for the half I get to keep.....I would definitely use it to buy a new car! I want a new car so bad, you don't even know! I would also use the money to buy the dogs I want. I want a Dutch Shepherd and a Wolf Hybrid breed dog. I want to train both like police dogs. If I had enough left I'd take them and have them trained at the K9 Academy in Texas! Thats what's up! ;)

A nat at a barbeque!

I get annoyed by everything! One thing that annoys me the most is when you clearly don't want to talk to someone, but they just keep trying to carry on a conversation. You can only ignore someone for so long, after that it just gets irritating!!!! Most of the time i'll just walk away from those people.... but sometimes they catch me when I'm sitting down, so i'll just gesture hints that I'm not in the mood to chat. Rednecks! They are the most annoying people on the planet. Where do they get the idea that its cool to dress like that!? Nobody wears boots anymore, and i had when they bust out the camo! Unless your in the military or hunting, nobody should be wearing it. I also get annoyed when girls can't make a decision! When i ask you where you want to eat, i expect you to answer. Its not a life changing decision! I expect an answer within three seconds. Thats a reasonable amount of time to decide wear you want to eat. We are in Bradenton, there's like three places to eat. It's not difficult!!!

American soldier!!!

Dear American Hero,

If I was in your position and I had to stay overseas for the holidays I'd be pissed! I don't know if they do anything for you soldiers during the holidays when your over there, But I hope they do.... Anything is better than nothing, though it's understood that it's not the same. It isn't the same saying it through a letter, but I appreciate everything you're doing and everything you stand for. If everyone in America had your honor, pride, and courage, the U.S. would be a better place. Unfortunately, not everyone has your guts, so thank you. Thank you for serving our country, thank you for putting your life on the line, thank you for your sacrificing your freedom to save billions of lives....
