College
I think I've figured out something about college today. I was sitting in the chairs of Goodwynn Hall listening to my friends chatter about biology class. They were complaining about how their teacher was never specific enough, would ramble on about the subject, and never told them what to expect. This got me to thinking, maybe he doesn't have to? Maybe college isn't about just learning something new, but maybe it's supposed to get you to see connections so when you DO face something new, it's not that complicated. I don't know how few people really realize this, but now that I think about it it seems really self-evident. High school is about info, but college is about experience.

Sir Greg
The two men fought valiantly for the hand of Lady Berchuss. Their swords clashed in a constant harmony sounding off each swing of the blade. Sir Greg knew that Benjamin would stop at nothing to take the lady as his own, but he was determined not to let that happen. He would fight on for as long as needed to stop such a fate. Back and forth the battle swayed as one gained an advantage then the other. The lady looked on in awe as the two waged a never ending war. Finally Sir Greg caught the leg of his opponent with his and brought him tumbling to the ground. Benjamin had not even moved to get up when he saw the tip of a blade in his face.
"AHA Sir Benjamin! You have been bested!"
"I might have you knave, but take no pride in your victory!"
"And just why not?"
"Because your bride is..."
"What say you?!"
"SHE IS A DOG!"
"WOOF!" barked Berchess as she rushed over to lick the fallen child. Greg threw down his stick in defeat.
"You're not supposed to say that. She's a lady."
"Well, it let me win didn't it?" Ben laughed at the sight of his friend's downcast look which suddenly became a smile.
"Yeah but it's still cheating." Greg said spitting a big raspberry his way.
"KIDS! TIME FOR SUPPER!" It was Greg's mom calling the kids in for dinner. The children rushed off with Lady Berchess nipping their heels leaving the land of the brave for now.

Fight or Flight
The moon peaked out from behind the clouds on that dark night as four men stood on the edge of a canyon, preparing to meet their fate. They each checked their black vinyl wing suits making sure every ruffle was right.
"So, any last requests?" the oldest of the four asked.
"Yeah, a bottle of Jack and a girl from home." The men laughed but quickly fell silent as the leader looked back around. He was tall and looked as though he could tear a man apart with his hands. His stature was that of a man who had seen it all, and he had, twenty years as a SEAL has that kind of an effect on you.
"Glad to see you still have a sense of humor in a time like this Gus." Joseph smiled.
"Does this look like a face that's joking to you?" he gave the leader his most serious look before he burst back into laughter. "Joseph, you gotta lighten up. Might not get the chance to after tonight."
"Yeah boss, here I got somethin' for ya." Randolf reached into his pack and pulled out a bottle of 100%, all American moonshine. "This'll put a kick in ya step." He took the bottle and filled each man's canteen cap before proposing a toast. "To the history behind us, the fight before us, and the legacy we leave behind. Let the world know that the four lost behind the lines were found amidst the bodies of their enemies. AYE!"
"AYE!" they all said in unison as they turned up their caps.
"Alright men," Joseph said as he threw his cup to the ground, "grab your guns and get ready for a ride. A storm is coming and we are the lightening as it strikes upon the ground. We will make them feel the force of desperate men in desperate times. So make the jump boys, and keep your fingers crossed. Now let's go!" He screamed as they leaped from the edge and flew like angels of death upon the camp below where the prisoners were held.
Come hell or high water, they would charge through the camp and release every one of the captives while giving one hell of a fight. The four would fall as soldiers, but in the eyes of those they rescued, they would live on as heroes.

Descriptive Practice
Tim Finnegan was a tall brutish sort. His tangled red hair hung down to his drawers, and his beard down to his boots. His kilt was a plaid, green as the grass, his pipes hung about his chest, colored to match. His face was wrinkled with age and time, and his scars bore the weight of his youthful shine. A voice that was loud, and a stature that was proud, Tim Finnegan would fight any about. He walked with a cane through the streets where he was born, always muttering about the modern day, object of his scorn. A hat would sit atop his head, as he would walk back to his stead. He slammed the door shut and turned out the lights, for Tim Finnegan would not see through the night.

ok one thing I hate
I hate more than anything, these people who drag around and feel sorry for themselves all the time. Not the people who have a down day once in a while (hell I have em too) but the ones who are consistently like that. The ones who don't try to look up but find it much easier to be down. I don't know i'm just tired and a wee bit irratated but this helps some lol.
