Hey,

Happy Thanksgiving!

As I walk forward,
my shadows refuse to follow;
they stray the opposite way.
I am a contradiction.

Detroit Lions

I'd like to formally thank the Detroit Lions on the impressive victory they had against the Cleveland Browns yesterday. Who would have thought we'd win two games this early into the season? You boys have really stepped it up, you have enough victories this season alone to let you coast through the next couple of years. Maybe next week we can do what Kansas City did to Pittsburgh.

Really?

Did anyone else watch the Red Wings game tonight? Why does the league hate us?

Quick Write- The White Rose

Like many of the students in our class, The White Rose article really stands out to me. I can relate to it not only because Hans, Sophie, and Christoph are of similar age as us, but because of their rebellious actions. As I mentioned in class, I believe we are living in an age where rebellion and "individuality" is adhered to greatly. We all like to think we are different, we all like to think we stand up for what's right, and we're not just doing things because it is the "norm." These are values the members of The White Rose truly believed in.

Reading this article makes me thankful for what I do have; freedom of speech. I have the right to legally state what I believe in, share it with other people, and the opportunity to overturn an act that I believe to be unethical.

Life Long Tragedy- Hey Death!

This song reminds me of The Book Thief, not because it deals with the holocaust or anything, but simply because it personifies death.
You probably will not find the song appealing because it's loud and messy, but if you read the lyrics, you'll understand that it cannot be done any other way.

If you enjoy this stuff, I really suggest you check out the rest of this bands music. I'll even send it to you.

"Black eye date tonight with what's left of my life
'Cuz I've been livin' like I'm staring death right in its eyes
And death stares back at me and whispers in m ear:
"The way you're living now, it won't be long 'til you'll be here."

Hey Death, I don't know much and this may sound trite,
But what the fuck is wrong with life?
My broken generation, we fantasize
Of being washed out with the tides.
And I'll miss my memories but they've always been behind me.
And looking forward, I doubt that many more are coming.
Hey do you ever wonder why you're alive?
Just think right now might be your time to die.

Hey Death, I'm a fucking mess.
Can you stop this beating in my chest?
It's time to sink into your sins, 'cuz just after this short life ends
You'll get to meet one of my closest friends, permanent darkness.
It'll know all your secrets,
It'll know your deepest regrets
Like the chances you forget to take
So find what's yours before it's too late.

Hey Death, I'm a fucking mess.
Can you stop this beating in my chest?
A minute of your time is all I need
So I can finally accept the fact that I'm dying."

Upload your presentations on youtube!

I made a Youtube account for our class, so if everyone can log in and upload their video, I'd be appreciated. If you have any questions, leave a comment.

I love Christmas, but I can't believe my work is making me put all the Christmas stuff out right now. Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet. It seems that each year, Christmas appears earlier in stores. It ruins the fun of it!

Speaking of Christmas, does anyone know when the Hines Drive Light fest starts?

Thankful

It's a shame when a tragedy is needed to rekindle a friendship.
Today was my first time seeing my best friend in almost two months. I've had chances to see him during the two month period, but I was to ignorant to do so. He was in an accident earlier today, but thankfully, he's not hurt.

Do you know the saying, "if you care about someone, then let them know?"
Some statements are cliche for a reason.
