NOW

Looking back, what do you see?
Do the things I've done represent me?
What memories do I hold closest to my heart?
First place to start
is with what sets you apart.
like the way only I interpret a piece of art
like the way I laugh when someone farts
like how my favorite ice cream at Frogurt is blue berry tart
When was I the happiest?
Easily the time when I did something the craziest.
Sometimes just letting yourself splurge
is when your grandest moments emerge.
Who influenced me most?
When I was sick, they're the ones that'd bring me toast
All the people who stayed close.
They taught me about life and showed me the world.
Gave me tips to become a successful girl.
Made me see you can't win
when you hold it all in.
That I shouldn't dwell on, but learn from looking back,
Then to pick up the slack
and live to gain anything I previously did lack.
Take the Risk
don't be another ingredient in the bowl, controlled by the whisk
I'd bet
we More often Regret
not getting our feet wet
than the discomfort of it making our toes cold.
So DO something fun before you're too old.
Then next time I'm asked
about my past, I won't want it masked.
When questioned, What do you see?
I can share with them the life I wanted to Represent ME.

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
