Post Secret

The post secret is a great website that allows people to let out their feelings when they have no one to talk to or just can't talk about something. Some of the posts were really sad and you could feel the pain the author wrote and some of them were funny. Like a poem, the posts were short but had powerful meanings behind them. The one that caught my eye was my boyfriend gave me up for lent. No my boyfriend didnt' give me up for lent but I think my best friend needs to give up her boyfriend for lent. The past few months she has been going through a rough relationship with him and no matter how much I talk to her and say you need to leave him or atleast make your relationship more healthy she doesn't listen. Its frustrating as her friend to watch her happy one day and the next day she spends crying over him. I understand that relationships arent always going to be happy but more often she is upset than happy. Although when I ask her, she says she is happy. It doens't appear that way to me and I think if she gave her boyfriend up for lent it would give her time away from him to really think and decide if this relationship is right for her. There is so much I still want to talk to her about and their relationship but I dont want to loose her as a friend either.

I chose to do a concrete poem, a heart.



Love is a uniquely felt feeling
that is described differently by all. Last
year, I found my true love. My love brings me
comfort that lasts all through the night, he grants me
an eternal smile and butterflies in my tummy. Our
love continues to grow each and everyday in different ways. We made a bond that no
one else measures up to. Three powerful
little words, I Love You, just never
seem enough to express
my love for
you.

My life last week

This week I finally got my acceptance letter to Madonna University! I'm so happy, I can't wait to start the diatetics program there and begin my career. I'm ready to be done with taking all my general classes. Also I saw the movie Dear John. I loved it so much except the ending jsut ended. I guess the director just wanted to leave the end to your interpetation. I took it as John and Savanna were still together and meeting up together. She smiled at him through the window as she waited for him. I cried at the movie but after I was left with a warm feeling in my heart. They had true love and was an awesome movie. Also I found out the my other cousin, Katie is having a baby that is due next winter. My cousin Jennifer baby is due at the end of March. My youngest cousin in going to be a freshman in high school next year so it should be intersting having little ones again running around the house at the holidays. Spring break is coming up in a few weeks and I can't wait to have some extra free time and of course I need to catch up in my classes. Yikes not the greatest idea.

Poems

The first poem that I read was by far the most interesting one, Sam Pink "I am going to jump kick your face and then kiss it"


The title definately caught my attention and as I read it,the poem was getting more and more interesting. It was contradictin itself, the person wants to inflict pain by jump kicking someones face, but then make it all better by kisses. When we are little our moms would kiss our injuries to make them magically feel better. You can't inflict pain on someone wheither its physical or emotional pain and expect a kiss to ease the pain and make everything okay.This poem seemed so violent but the mental picture i got after reading made me laugh too. I was expecting the poem would be more traditional but I liked the fact that it wasn't, to me it was more interesting.

The second poem I read was by Chad Sweeny # 30.

Dance inspires me so this one caught my attention too. After reading this poem a few times i pictured two differen't scenarios. The first one being an amazing dancer performing for a big crowd of people a difficult dance. As she is performing this difficult dance she is feeling pain, discomfort, and fatigue but her face only shows the joy she has as she performs on stage. She gives the audience a performance they have never seen before and as for her herself she can only feel happiness thinking about the journey she has taken to get this good as a dancer. The other scenario I pictured was a girl sitting in the audience watching a dancer and feeling the emotions only a dancer can experience on stage. She is dancing vicariously through the dancer on stage. The girl in the audience experiences the rush of energy as the dance begins, and feels the fatigue after the dance is over. She experiences the emotional journey the dancers has when she is on stage.

The third poem I read was also by Chad Sweeny #20

I felt like the poem was about life and the journey we take. Some people have it easier than other and are handed stuff ( bow and arrow). And some people have difficult obstacles to overcome but they still reach their goal( bully's eye). It was saying that the difficult road isn't easy but its more rewarded when you reach your desired goal. Hardwork will pay off because life is about the journey and lesson learned along the road.

The poem I wrote was:

So pretty in pink
with a little bow
they fit like a glove
I put my best foot forward
so pretty in pink
she glides across the stage.

Inspiration

What is my inspiration? I am inspired by dancing! I have been taking lessons since I was in the fourth grade. It's my true passion and while dancing in the studio I felt like nothing else in the world matter for that time. I was able to leave my stress and troubles behind me and do something that I truely loved. It taught me alot about life, that if first you dont succeed then try, try again. That not only applied to the studio but also to life. Another reason I love dance was it inspired me to try new things and that it was okay if i didn't get it right away. It wasn't alway about succeeding but the journey I took to reach my goal. I the feelings i had while performing in competitions and shows is undescribable. I was in a frame of mind that I couldn't experience any where else. I dont currently dance but I hold close to my heart the memories, the hard times and good one, and the lessons about never giving up on something that truely made me happy.
