Summer…Now What?

Summer is nearing soon. While we all rejoice at the additional seven hours in the day, what is to become of this blog? Our class’ edublogs were created to create an online journal of assignments and literary insights. I cannot speak for my classmates, but I am very satisfied with the results. However, with the end of school, the purpose sustaining this blog now becomes obselete, and a new one must be drafted. I intend to continue this blog, although I expect it to be challenging. My writing has always been crafted for prompts in other classes, and now it will be taking its own form/direction.

Generally a blog has a theme it revolves around. I believe the topic I will choose for now will be learnng – my learning. We are supposed to learn something everyday, and so writing about it for other people will both strengthen my foundations and aid those who read it.

It’s not the most interesting topic- to create a knowlege bank – but learning is my passion, and that is something to write about :-D .

Heroes

what, a hero?
an icon of people’s good
my father, an icon such

how, a hero?
any can be a hero to those that see
i merely see him better than others
many lessons of life originate from our roots
and i feel powerfully about the strength of mine

truely, a hero?
those helping many, true heroes of tera
they protectors of hope, vangaurds of justice
tending to our dreams with their beating core
but underneath all that fame and glittery light
a hero lives as a heroes heart does in hindsight

Human. A hero

A Panda in the Wild

I’m not sure if it’s just how I naturally am, but the Panda Bear seems to be cute. Just a little.

Now ignoring that my masculine pride is forever scarred, I’ll have to say that Panda’s are one of my favorite animals. They’re basically teddy bears, but without the I-am-a-viscous-carnivore-that-can-eat-you kind of feel.

Really, who could resist that?

An old friend of mine who used to live in China once talked about how Panda’s would come down the mountains for a drink of water. They would gorge themselves and get “drunk” from too much water. Queue a sleeping, live, Panda for seeing up close. The local zoo has nothing compared to a real animal in its natural home.
