3. As a person of course I want to leave an impact. As a person I want to know that through death i won't be forgotten. That people will stop and take a pause when passing my resting place. For many this is hard to obtain from people outside of their family. So what could I, a normal guy in a world of 6.2 billion, possibly do to leave my mark? Yes, I know you want to hear it Mr. Miles, I could write, but that isn't how I hope to leave my fingerprint on this planet. I want to be remembered by those that I have touched personally in my life, through devoted time and loyalty beyond measure. Through the love and the generosity I have shared. There are people on this Earth of ours that we all care for, even the most disgusting and vile of people has someone that will love them. My goal solely is to put my mark on the lives of those I hold dear, and only once that is achieved will I move on and try to change the world.

2. It's true things are both forgotten and remembered with the pass of time. So what makes the remembered special? When it comes to literature I believe its relatability. Writtings can live through centuries if it's still able to be applied to people's fantasies or day to day lives even then. People are only intrested in what they know and are comfortable with, or what they wish existed, such as a great romantic fantasy.

#10 ....derp.

1. A friend of mine once told me shes sees God everywhere, in everything, that everything has some kind of good and some kind of beauty that shines through. I couldn't have disagreed with her more, for my vision is the exact opposite. When I look to people I'm only to see the negative, the bad, the flaws, the evil, what ever people want to call it, and I feel nothing but disappointment. People are ugly creatures with a distorted view of life, it has become a social habit to pressure one of another into this unobtainable ideal way of life. People around the globe are now paying doctors to mangle their natural body in an atempt to create this figure that never seems to be good enough for this planet. I've watched a friend of mine as she destroyed her body by starving it, by puking after every meal, just to join this pointless quest for perfection. Teens everywhere are popping out babies through unprotected sex because they feel to fit in they have to get layed. Just recently I heard a story from a co-worker about 4 guys at her old highschool. These 4 guys made a bet to see how many girls they could get pregnant by the end of the school year, for the fun of it, they got to 17. I have seen videos on the internet of 2 guys dousing a sack of kittens in gasoline and lighting it, all for shits and giggles. I helped my uncle recover from being nearly beatten to death becasue two guys in Chicago wanted his wallet. I read stories everyday of how so and so of how ever few years old dies due to gang violence. I met with a public speaker, a girl who in highschool was slipped GHB, the date rape drug, and raped repeatedly by over a dozen guys, they video taped it, she took them to court and lost. Because she wasn't saying no... this is the kind of world we live in. It is not a beautiful place and there are more things on this planet that disturb me then I could ever begin to count.

Happiness #9

1. Happiness is the warm fuzzy feeling deep inside filled with smiles and rainbows.
2. My friends, hands down. They are everything to me, they are what defines me. With them I'm comfortable with anything, seriously I highly doubt there is anything that could embarrass me in front of them. Having people to joke, and people to rely on, I believe that's what brings me happiness.

That's just a short list of people who have ALWAYS been there for me, and I know always will. I've realized this recently, that going away to college no longer scares me because i know I could never lose these people, no matter how hard I tried.
4. I'd have to say the same people listed above, I make them smile as much as they make me. It's just one big mutual family
5. Aside form the basic body essentials; food, shelter sleep and water, I'd have to say it is happiness, no human can survive a life with no happiness, it's not possible. The human brain becomes sick without happiness, which will later makes the physical body ill, and will shorten life span dramatically, it's impossible to live life without happiness.

1. The short stories, by far. They are almost completely open assignments so we can write about whatever. I feel that the short stories are also the best so far that test our actual abilities as writers, the prompts just get us thinking, and well poetry is just poetry, short stories were actually able to write something worth reading.

2. I think the newest short story, my creepy one, A Smile Worth a Thousand Screams. I feel like it's well written and it's a piece I actually enjoy.

3. I need allot of quiet, I'm distracted VERY easily. If I get at least something to start I'm able to go off the idea fairly well. I also found I tend to over think my writing allot, I compare my own pieces to those of others and just never seem satisfied with my outcome.

4. I'm fine with whatever I guess. I'd definitely would like to continue these open topic short stories.

Journal Assignment #6

1. I LOVE FEAR, I know I might sound a little sadistic there, but it's true. I live to be afraid. It gives me a little rush of adrenaline. I thrive on being afraid and scarring other people. I have perfected the art of silent walking to sneak up on people when I want to. But I'm also a huge fan of horror movies, they are my favorites.

2.I'm not easily easily frightened though, it kinda sucks, but I can be a little jumpy. If there is a loud noise randomly in a quiet calm environment I'm going to jump, I love the unexpected. The only thing that TRULY scares me is the thought of losing my friends and family, without them I am nothing. There is plenty in this world that is horrific, I'm not one to deny these things but I'm defiantly one to try and ignore them. War, genocide, famine, disease, our president, all these are things horrific in this world of ours, I just try not to think about it, I'm more optimistic.

3. Well killing one's cats is DEFIANTLY up there, but I would say true madness is when someone justifies a horrible crime like murder in their own head.

4. Aside from a few diseases, the best answer I could think of would be a great loss. Losing something/someone of imense personal value.

Journal entry # 4

part 1.

b. She has trtaits people can relate too. I don't care who you bring to me they will care about their appearance in some shape way or form. And from that first paragraph there is something EVRYONE can relate to, though some more then others it's still intresting to read about someone who has become what they have become because of the vanity of their mother.
c. I think the biggest one is how vulnerable girls make themselves. They are so judgemental to themselves and their friends that often they break down and have no more self confidence left to continue. They start making rash decisions in order to feel a little bit of love, in this case, Connie decides to get into the (VERY CREEPY) guys car just for a small sense of appretiation and love she thought she could get. Another problem is often the pressure a mother might put on their daughter, to look pretty but not be fake, to get work done and all that kind of stuff.
e. I think she sleeps with him. After that its hard to know, but I think that she sleeps with him and likely finds and unfufilling and abusive relationship with him that goes on for god knows how long...

part 2
I think the most import pieces are characterization and plot. With so little space to work with in a short story you need to get a strong character and a detailed plot accross, not only to get readers intrested but to give them something to relate to. Without putting alot of detail into either of those a short story is sure to fail.

Assignment number TWOOOOOOOO!!!

Part 1: Prompt, question 1
A time when i was supprised I liked a book was 9th grade, To Kill a Mockingbird. This book was possibly the first book that I enjoyed that was a school assignment. I was able to take a life lesson from this book on equality and morals. To Kill a Mockingbird, is one of those books that change people's lives, and I know for a fact, it helped change mine.

Autobiography

My names Tyler, and this is my creative writting blog. I work at a bakery and currentlybeing trained in as a manager. I've kinda given up keeping a straight schedual for sports so i just work out on my own time. Back when I used to kickbox, wrestle and swim, but now I'll lift weights run or take acasual swim when I feel like it, I'm lazy like that. Favorite shows are LOST, Rescue Me, and South Park, and I'm just starting out on 24, we'll see how it goes. Favorite movies is way too hard for me to decide, I usually just end up going with the movies I've seen recently, right now I'd probably say SuperBad. Favorite music is hard too, my second favorite song is One, by Metallica, and I always keep my number one spot open for whatever good music is out at the time, right now it's The Pretender by the Foo Fighters. I'm not a huge reader so I have no favorite author, a good book is a good book that's all I need to beleive. In the next 4 months I don't know what I'm going to be doing, probably wishing school was out. Anything else, just ask me.

A piece of my writting:

Times pulling,
Pulling hard.
Takes me Forward,
gaining speed.
People passing,
left and right,
faces silent.
Approaching places,
left behind,
forgotten with the pass of Time.
It's grasp settles,
I'm slowing down.
Now I'm left lying down,
People surrounding
so familiar,
Our gaze's meet,
My breath is shallow
Theres a pause,
Time has stopped,
and enters an old friend of mine,
The Reaper.
Hi welcome to my creative writting blog
