A book that I would recommend for someone who likes action and suspense. This fictional novel takes you into a world full of risks and close calls. These characters have a deadly mission. They, an  escaped criminal, a professional thief, a young crime lord, a demo expert, and the best guns men around. They must first must get into the most heavily guarded enemy base. Than they must find and retrieve a captured genius who holds their world in his hands. Than, this daring bunch of misfits must get back out of this prestigious prison. But only for a price.

Memories from this School Year, 2015-2016

Sitting in the hall,
staring out the window,
eating,
talking,
laughing,
Not wanting to go back to class.
Lunch is just so great,
I mean,
you just sit around and talk with your friends,
it's like a free 45 minutes of socialization.
Sitting under the big trees,
feeling the grass,
the breeze,
the shade.
Or sitting in the cool, dark hallway,
the lights in there went out,
and they just never fixed them.
It was nice.
School was fun,
until about half way through,
that was when all the excitement of a new year was gone,
the stress of homework was building up,
and that's when you start counting down the days until break.
Don't get me wrong,
I love school,
most of the time,
but it just gets old after a wile,
just doing the same thing at the same time each day.
You start to miss the freedom of summer,
and of course the sleeping in.  
But this year was overall, okay,
lots of good times, and of course some bad.
But I will treasure the memories I have. 

'Guernica' by Pablo Picasso

This blog is about the painting 'Guernica', painted by Pablo Picasso. He painted this oil on canvas painting  in 1937. Picasso was born on the 25th of October, 1881, and died on April 8th 1973 age 91.

This painting is abstract, which means it douse not follow any specific guidelines. There seem to be a lot of screaming, possibly decapitated heads. One of them slightly resembles a dog. There is also an eye with an up-side-down light bulb in it, hanging above everything else.

There are also some spots in this painting that if you look at it differently it becomes something else. Which is something that is amazing to incorporate into a painting. Again, there are not just decapitated heads. There also seem to be some detached limbs struin across the floor and scattered about the painting. As well as a few broken swords, a gas lamp, and a small plume of smoke.

Personally, I like this painting. I like how it has different layers and how you could look at it for hours and still find new things. I like the complexity, it is a work of art.

Nature Haikus

Laying in the grass,

staring at the sky, bright blue.

A great place to think.

Running through the woods,

jumping over rocks and streams,

the sun shining bright.

Clouds hang in the sky,

a fierce wind blows through the fields,

gray, and black, and wind. 

'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa' by Katsushika Hokusai

This blog is about 'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa' by Katsushika Hokusai. He was born supposedly on October 31, 1760. He died on May 10, 1849, age 88.

At first glance this painting simply depicts a huge wave over taking a boat. But look closer, an you'll see much more. You will see a mountain with snowy peaks in the back round. You will also see another boat a little farther back.

There is also the sky. Which looks like the clouds are glowing with sunlight. But the sky under the clouds is dark and gray, and it gets darker the closer it gets to the ground the darker it gets. I think that this represents that the sky or nature, started out clean and pure. But that humanity has polluted and taken it for granted. That humanity has filled this world with violence and weapons of destruction.

I think that this painting is a work of art. The water looks so real I could reach out and touch it. The boats are detailed and well made. Most of all, the sky is simply magnificent, the blending of colors is just perfect, I also love the contrast. 

LOL Front Yard Poem

Birds, chirping and singing in the trees,
the sound of cars driving by,
the rustle of the leaves in the soft wind.
The feeling of the grass,
the trees,
the wind blowing.
The smell of tiny new flowers,
the smell of the cars,
he smell of the large lilac bush blooming.
The hot sun finally dips behind a crowd,
the short moment of coolness is short lived,
the sun is out from behind the clouds,
the heat and brightness soon returns.

Nothing Gold can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf is a flower,
but only so an hour,
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
so Eden sank to grief,
so dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
