Movie Journey

Shrek

Ordinary World: Shrek. By himself. In the swamp. This is the part where he is enjoying his life, loving being alone and doing whatever he wants. Being a straight up Ogre.
Call to Adventure: All the fairy creatures get dumped on his swamp. So he goes to Farquad, wins the duel, and demands his swamp back. Farquad says he must go rescue the princess Fiona and he'll give him back his swamp.
Refusal of the Call: Shrek says no. He doesn't want to go on a stupid quest for a princess.
Meeting the Mentor: Donkey. This is when Shrek met donkey. Through donkey's perseverance and to Shrek's annoyance they become friends. Donkey gives shrek advice along the way.
Crossing the Threshold: They go on the quest. Donkey and shrek leave the swamp and venture off into the unknown.
Tests, Allies, and Enemies: This is there long journey to the castle with Donkey never failing to annoy Shrek.
Approach the Inmost Cave: They are at the castle. Crossing the lake of fire and stinky brimstone on an old rickety bridge.
The Ordeal: Fighting the Dragon
Reward: They get the princess out. (and to Shrek that also means the swamp, and thus it's a reward)
Road Back: Their journey back to the swamp and Farquad. They have to stop every night. They fight bad guys in the woods (Fiona does) This is also when Shrek and Fiona fall in love.
Resurrection: Fiona is getting married...to Farquad. :( The ressurection part is when-with Donkey's help, (and dragons eventually) Shrek reappears at the Wedding. "I OBJECT" Then Fiona turns into an ogre. Surprise. and Shrek and Fiona are in love.
Return with Elixir: They go back to Shrek's swamp. Make it a nice place for two. Beware of ogres signs with their pictures included. Donkey visits often. and they live Happily Ever After. For now. :)

Check Yes or No by George Straight

Once upon a time there was a little boy that loved a little girl. It started in 3rd grade, when he wrote her a little note asking if she loved him. She checked yes. After 20 years, they are still deeply in love and they are living happily ever after!

6 words

During life, I made mistakes perfectly

A die hard clipper fan, always

Didn't go to church, my bad

turned out bad, had good intentions

a dolphin peed on me once

smile, love, play, eat, and pray

I can not make a decision

Live everyday like its your last

I worried more than was necessary

I'm weird, but definitely not boring

Bad Poetry

Mr. Somebody
Your heart is as soft as iron man
But You help me see like glasses can
You're too hot, in case I see you I carry a fan
I have memories of walking barefoot through sand
You make me sing like rockband
Someday we'll grow up and have our own bit of land

Direct Orders: ROCK OUT

Rock out like you just won American Idol. Rock out like the Los Angeles Clippers just won the playoffs. Like your highschool team just took state and every college scout was watching YOU. Rock out like you do when your favorite song comes on the radio. Like when you are driving in the car, with the windows down, and don't stop rocking out even when the car has to stop @ the stop light. Don't stop-never stop-Rocking. Rock out cause the spotlight is on YOU. Even if your stage is just you dancing in the headlights. It won't last long- don't miss it. Rock out cause you're alive. Rock out like you just lived through a near death experience. Rock out like every guy wants you. Like the man of your dreams only has eyes for YOU. Rock out like Jack Johnson came to sing to you. Like it was a song written about YOU. Rock out like your on your senior trip. Like you're boating. Like you won a million dollars. Like you could defy gravity. Don't stop-never stop-Rocking
Rock Out!

Love is...

10.Love is a haircut

9.Love is the sunshine

8.Love is a blank book- waiting to be filled

7.Love is the leaves changing colors on the trees- change is new, scary, and different but beautiful

6.Love is fire

5.Love is a pair of jeans- you've got to find the right ones for you

4.Love is waves hitting the beach- sometimes you can't help but fall hard

3.Love is a fruit tree

2.Love is your favorite song playing on the radio

1.Love is money- you've got to invest in it if you want it to last

I'm thinking about you...

I'm thinking about you like Weird Al Yankovitch thinks about being weird. Like music thinks about lyrics. Like instruments think about hands. Like hands think about gloves when the steering wheel is cold. I'm thinking about you like legs think about jeans. I'm thinkin about you like pepper thinks about salt. Like an ostrich thinks about flying. Like a cheetah thinks about running. Like a cage thinks about holding. I'm thinking about you like sleep thinks about nights. Like nights think about days. Like I'm thinking about you always.

pen name

I picked the name Rowly. Rowly is a funny, happy, chubby kid. He is a really good friend and nice person. He doesn't let things stop him from being happy and having a good time. I want to be more like Rowly and find joy in the simple things :)

I enjoy playing and watching sports, hacky sack, reading, being outside, playing with family and friends, food, and music. I don't know what the future holds, but I know that's it is close and that I'll do what I can to make it a good one. So although change can be scary I look forward to it. :) I took creative writing because of all the reasons Mr. Nelson said on the first day of class and I'll be honest- I really thought I'd enjoy it.
