Killer Faceless Gingerbread Man

There was a gingerbread man
Created from the best stuff on earth
Created with care
Love
Integrity
Passion
Carved with skill and excellence
Cooked for perfect amount of time
Till a nice sweet golden brown
So crisp
The smell mouth watering
Done.

The baker is done.

The ginger man .
How could it even be a man
No face
The baker forgot it's face
The Ginger is so sad
It can't even cry
It has no eyes
Itcant even tell anyone that his no face
It has no mouth

Poor Ginger
Faceless Ginger
No one wants a faceless gingerbread man.

No one eats it.
It dries up lonely
Into little Ginger crumbs.

Poor little faceless gingerbread man.




Later. One year to be exact.
The crumbs rise from the dust.
This still faceless gingerbread man.
Limp to the bakers home and takes away the face f the baker.


From that day on.
If someone makes a gingerbread man
without decorating a face on it
U will loose ur face

Sports In My Life

Sooo believe it or not.. i used to be a tom-boy.. I have two brothers and my mom used to always work so i always had guys around me. I hated Barbies and girl things basically. So because of this I played hella sports. I played basketball, soccer, i did gymnastics, ballet and swimming... I dropped out of ballet because it was too girly tho.
SOOO yeaaaaa...I always did sports at Harrison Park in Pilsen because my uncle owns it.
My favorite sports to do were gymnastics and soccer. I was really good at gymnastics and i eventually stopped all my other sports to concentrate on it. I made the pre-elite team when I was only 7. I really wanted to be on the elite team because i would always watch gymnastics on t.v and i would watch all of the older girls at the gym... gymnastics was a real passion of mine. I eventually had to stop because i was involved with a lot of educational programs and being on a team in gymnastics takes up a lot of your time. Soooo around 6th grade i stopped.. and i started to become more girly... i was in dance and started cheerleading... and when i started highschool i made the cheer team... but i would never say its a passion of mine... i really miss gymnastics and i always will do a couple of back walk-overs and splits so that i wont loose my basic skills. When i use to go in the park in elementary school i used to do pullovers on the bars and filps on the platforms to not loose skills as well.

Now i dont really play sports unless its with my cousins... not my brothers tho.. they are not athletic at all... so im like the most sporty kid out of the three. like im the kid who watches sports on t.v with  my uncles....I love to watch hockey and soccer.. those are my favorite... I watch football and baseball too.. those are my second favorite.....ehh i wouldn't say too much basketball... but i watch it occasionally. BUT i will always ALWAYS watch gymnastic when it comes on.. :D

Open Letter To Cormac McCarthy

Dear Mr. McCarthy,

   I think your book was alright. It was really depressing. I am not a depressing person so it didn't really appeal to me. Like do you really think the world will end up like that? People turning into cannibals and stuff. I don't think so. I think thats crazy. I wonder if all the books you've written are depressing and crazy. Are you depressed and crazy? Actually for class i had to read about your life... and you're sounded like it kinda sucked.... didn't u live in poverty because u pursued writing? Thats a big risk... I would never do that... well not for writing at least. Although, I do respect what you did cause that means you were really had passion for your writing. Like you did what you loved regardless of the fact that you didn't have money. ANYWAY, you seem like an interesting person.... like because you had the guts to go into writing and you wrote a crazy book, i wonder how you are in person....I don't know if that sounds weird... it's not like i want to meet you in person.. I was just wondering. OKAY BYE.    
                                                                                                                      -Lauren Spearman♥

Defending The Poet

Charles Bukowski writes about the world very negatively in his poem.
Even tho some people think it might be extreme i dont think so.

I feel like we are all gonna extinct.

Like as time goes on we are all just gonna die....

i dunno how else i can explain.

Technology is gonna take over the world.... people will fight to be in power.... and the world just be so chaotic.

I dont see that coming soon but i just know its gonna happen.

my momma say i be psychic

A Direction The Class Needs

Classrooms will improve if they were more interesting.
I think sitting and reading and homework are boring.
If teachers taught material in a creative way that appealed more to students then perhaps grades will improve.

I've had teachers assign a couple of projects or homework that did help me understand material better and i was actually interested and understood what they were talking about.

For example, when i was a freshman my American Lit teacher assigned a project dealing with music.... since i enjoy music they project was easy for me and i understood how it related to the material we were learning.

If the class was more interactive and hands on .... i feel like that would appeal to students... we never go on anymore field trips... i think we should do that too....

I feel like homework shouldnt be assigned and there should be more in-class activities... but they have to be fun and interesting..

Thats all i really have to say.... but i only have like 160 words....now like 167....

I just feel school is stupid sometimes....y cant we all just live.....
well i know school is important....but sometimes ....its boring.. and i get alot of homework...
okayyyy now i have enough words...well for me..

imdone.

Mother & Daughter

I love mommy....she's actually just left for surgery this morning and I hope everything goes okay.
My mom is the hardest worker and loving person I know. She would do anything for me. My mom made sure that my brothers and I had a better life than her when she was a kid. I don't have a relationship with my farther so she plays both roles in my life. She would sacrifice anything for her kids and thats what I love.

Now that i think about it I know i should be nicer to my mom... its not that im like a horrible kid or anything or a troublemaker... but maybe i should let her know that i appreciate everything that she has done for me.

ANYWAY. me and my mom have a really good relationship. I'm her only daughter so i was always really spoiled in my family. I try to tell my mom everything..... well some stuff... she knows my personality the best and she knows about any guy that I like, she knows the people i don't like and other stuff.

Thats it.

How Do I Know What I Know

I know what I know from experiences and what people have taught me.
 Everything that I have gone through, all my mistakes and successful moments have all shaped me as a person, as well as everything that my parents/teachers have taught me.
Sooo Basically all my knowledge has been given to me from personal things and people who have taught me lessons in life.
However, there is the option not to take in any knowledge that is being provided to you. I have done this and I am sure everyone has. For example.....If you have been taught your whole life that God exists and you do not want to believe this....then you do not have to.
Sooo I know what I know from things that I want to know? Or I know what i know from things that I find true...
I don't really know...... but I just only know what I know….. I know that what I’m writing probably doesn’t make sense. I know that if anybody reads this they’ll be really confused….I know that I am just typing to make it to 200 words, which I almost at.
SO IN CONCLUSION: I know what I know from experiences and what people have taught me.

Our Meaning

I think the purpose of us being on earth is nothing. Not nothing nothing.,but its whatever you want it to be. If I think the purpose of my life is to become rich a and famous then that’s it. If I feel like my purpose is to help others then that’s it too.

I believe this is true because nobody has the right to tell other people what their purpose on earth is. Therefore, people can make their own meaning for it.

If we wonder why humans are on this earth and how we were put on here, then we are wasting our time. 

Your meaning is whatever you want to be. If you want to reach for the stars then go ahead. If you want to reach for nothing....... then that great for you.

For me…… I’m not sure what my meaning it yet…… and I am not going to waste my time trying to figure it out.  I feel like all of us will have an epiphany one day and realize why we were put in this earth.

I believe that all of us do have a purpose. It is your choice if you want to figure it out or not.

God in 2010

I've noticed that a lot of people these days don't believe in God.

I always ask my friends what do they think about God now days. The majority of them say there isn't one but there is a higher place when we die. Some of them say there is no Jesus but yea sure there is a God. 

In time everything changes. 

For example, back then many families or a culture made people believe in what they thought was true. In modern times people are more tolerant and respectful to what you believe in. People also aren't forcing you to practice a certain religion because Americans are free to worship whomever they want.

Basically because of this people can say, "There is no God," more comfortably. 

There is no one pressuring you, usually, to become part of a religion many people are open-minded and respect your choice. Also God is and will always be a questioning topic and honestly some people don’t care, which makes it easier for them to say that God doesn't exist

As time goes by I believe that views on God will eventually diminish. This is because everyone always questions, nobody knows what to believe, and in my opinion I feel like it’s easier for someone to say that they don't believe in a God then to try to convince someone that there is one. 

In a Sum, either you believe in a God and your cool with that, or you don't believe in anything. In 2010 the atheist level has defiantly risen and I feel as if it will get even higher as time goes on.

Candide

Candides punishments do not fit the crime. I feel as if this whole book is exaggerated , and that is what makes it a parody. The first unfair punishment was when he got banished from the castle. He was just "experimenting" with Cunégonde. He got kicked out into the real world not knowing anything about it. How could you do that to the guy? Then the next thing that comes to my mind is when Candides skin is basically ripped  from his body because he runs the gauntlet twice. A gauntlet is when u walk and people like throw weapons at you. Who does that? He got this punishment because he decided to take a walk, and he didn't know what the consequences were. That is so tragic and disgusting.  I kind of feel bad for Candide because he doesn't know any better. He lived in his own happy bubble and all of sudden somebody popped it and he had to face reality. The thing that sucks is that he has to face all of these tragic beatings and his new brutal life out of no where. I'm not saying Candide should get special treatment because of his situation, but someone should give this guy a break because he doesn't know anything.

The modern day Socrates is John Mayer.

John Mayer is just a normal musician with his own opinions like everybody else.  Although, his beliefs have gotten him a lot of bad publicity and he has lost many fans.

For Example, John Mayer has a lot of African American fans and was asked would he hook up with a black girl. His reply:  "My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick."

Example two, John Mayer even has his own crayon philosophy.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation... so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type... I'm like, 'hey girl, magenta!' and she's like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, 'no - I want magenta!'"

I’m not trying to make John Mayer look bad if that’s what it seems like. I actually really like him and feel like he is entitled to his own opinion. That’s how I feel with Socrates, he was criticized for his independence and undermining the Athenian society but it was what he believed in.

Socrates was sentenced to the death because the majority of the society didn’t agree with him and didn’t like how he spoke his mind. John Mayer speaks his mind and is talked about so harshly because first off many people think the things he says are hurtful. Second, he’s a celebrity and people, like Perez Hilton, will find any gossip about a celebrity to make them look bad.

In a sum, John Mayer is a modern day Socrates because he speaks his mind and puts his beliefs out there no matter how anyone feels.

The Unexamined Life Is Worth Living For.

I honestly do not agree with Socrates statement "the unexamined life is not worth living for." I don't really understand why in order for me to live I have to examine my life. Why couldn’t people like Socrates forget about everything and just live? I don't really care why the earth is round, or why I have two legs etc. Even if or when we find reasons for all of these stupid questions, how is it going to affect me? Yes I will think about the world differently but in theory nothing really changes. 

All of this questioning and searching for facts is a waste of time to me. First of all we are never going to get answers for half of the questions we have.  Secondly, usually when we find an “answer” how do I know that that  “answer” isn’t something that someone made up, which brings me to the question Why?, which will ultimately leave us in an eternity of us trying to figure out this problem.  

Actually, there not even problems. There just stupid questions.  So to me I feel like asking unsolvable questions that waste my time is not worth living for.

I must say that the many questions that people have about life are interesting, and me myself would like to figure these unsolved mysterious. But I have accepted the fact that we are never going to get a 100% answer for anything. For all I know everything that I have ever learned could all be a lie. It’d be really funny if the earth was actually flat, but I guess we will never know.

Eulogy

Lauren was always such an outgoing positive person. She never liked being sad or mad so she never surrounded herself around that kind of energy. If she could be here with us right now, she wouldn’t like all of the depression and tears. She would probably crack a joke or go get some food. Lauren always liked food. I even remember her favorite.  She loved strawberries and Reeses. Her favorite dessert was strawberry cheesecake or passion fruit sorbet.  Laurens favorite places to eat were Chipotle and Jamba Juice. That’s all she needed to survive.

Lauren was such a loving person. She cared about her family and friends. She only surrounded herself around people that made her laugh and kept her happy. This is because Lauren was always joking around with people and she loved to make others smile. She was open-minded about many things and treated people with respect. She was a caring, helpful, and a supportive friend. That’s why she was such a wonderful person to be around. She was also always listening to music, and she would sing aloud but was always horrible at it. She didn’t care though, it just reminded everyone how free spirited and care-free she was.

This girl was always eager to have fun. She hated dull and awkward moments. I remember whenever it was really quiet or if she was ever really bored she would always find a way to make everything a million times better. Lauren always had something on her mind. This meant she always had something to talk about. She was such a HUGE talker. She just talked all the time about anything. This at times could get annoying but I wouldn't want it any other way. Lauren was only quiet if she needed to be because of the setting she was in or because she was upset about something. But then again Lauren rarely got upset. Lauren would be extremely mad but still have a smile on her face. It was weird but it was because she hated drama and she just wanted everyone to be happy.

It’s so heartbreaking that Lauren cannot be here with us today, but we will always remember her smile, laugh, and bubbly personality. She loved and cared about everyone and never was cruel or mean to anyone. Lauren is greatly missed but we will continue to remember her in our hearts.
