A Meaningful Quote

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them." -Marilyn Monroe

I found this quote not too long ago by Marilyn Monroe and for some reason it appealed to me more than others. It is a quote that can be used in the real world, by people of all ages. For me, this quote reveals how I feel about what others think about me. When you first read the quote, it kind of seems as if she is implying she is better than everyone, but once you read it more, you understand what she is really trying to say. The quote sends out the message that people can think what they want to think, and if they care enough to bother with what I'm doing, or who I am, then I'm already above their level of maturity. Now days, people tend to worry more about who fits in with what group, or how someone acts, rather than the more important things in life. No one appreciates individuality anymore, and it seems by reading this quote that Marilyn Monroe did. I agree with her, and I respect her for being herself no matter what people said about her. Even though it doesn't seem like it, individuality is important. You can fit in with a group, but you can still be your own self. In this world, the people around you try to make you someone else, but it should be a goal to be true to yourself, to be an individual and to be proud about it. This quote is what has inspired me to not bother with what other people think, and to always be myself no matter how hard someone tries to change me.

Fortune Cookie Quote

"Keep on dreaming, because otherwise sleeping would become rather boring."
~Unknown Author

Good quotes can go a long way. This quote can relate to many people who say that have nothing else to do so they do time wasting activities or even harmful activities. If you have a dream to strive for then life will never be boring. To me, this is good advice to any person. I can say this from my own personal experience. I know that being in band and studying other music along with being in school I always have something to do. I would like this quote to get out into the open instead of just on a fortune cookie and directed to all adolescence. It can open their eyes and show them that right now their "dream" or goal should be succeeding in school even if they have other plans for their future. Some teenagers may not like to do this because they are not confident they the could do it in the first place. Didn't they use to say, "Reach for the stars," even though it seemed impossible? Well, we reached them eventually. I want this to point out to everyone that they should have dreams and when their done with one then create another. Like reading a good book: when your done are you just going to quit reading? You should find another good book.

The Crazy Cotton

The cotton-white; soft
It ran its' demise
For it fell from a loft

Once when the ball only hammered
Tis Hammered the roof away;
He thought he was quite pampered;

Eager he grew; but foolish awhile
For, upon losing his balance
He fell to a stick pile

Onward to The hospital; he rode and rode
The doctor cotton saw him and said,-
"Keep your eyes closed"

Tis on his way home he ran out of luck
For upon hitting a marching ban;
His car just simply blew up!

Higher; higher; tis in the sky;
The cotton released a shout;and hitting the ground;
He Died!

-Buckie Noble

The Match's Game

This is the personification poem we had to write about the object we received with Mr. Howard.

It started with a strike-
Then it came to life-
Excited she'll dance-
And start the romance-
And watch quietly.

A stalker so slow-
She might let me go-
So I can fly free-
With all liberty-
Alongside my own flame.

Slowly, slowly it dies-
With all it's fire that flies-
My chance has past-
My faith did not last-
As it all ended with it's staff.
