What A Night" well, here it is, what I wrote yesterday, and tomorrow I will post what I wrote today, and so on. I hope I'll have my internet working again tomorrow, but we'll see. For now I'm borrowing a laptop from someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This poem is called Arithmetic Warfare, and is a poem geared towards children about the horrors of war. It's not exactly my best work, but I think the ending is pretty powerful, so perhaps your excuse it's fallacies once you reach the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span

type='text'>O! What a Night!</title><content type='html'>This poem samples lots from different places, I took a line from the movie A Clockwork Orange,"Oh it was Gorgeousness and Gorgeosity made flesh", I took a line from a song by The Unicorns "But.... it yet remains"(an AMAZING rock band, if you're into really raw sounding pop-punk, they're for you), and I took a song title from a Babyshambles song (another amazing band, they're a british-indie-pop-rock band fronted by Pete Doherty) "La Belle et las Bette" and changed it around a bit, "&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_cpMain_BulletinPost_BodyRO_Textbox"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Il était la belle sans la bête"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. But, this is all my original work, I just think it's fun to allude to things like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used an online translator for the French in the very last stanza, if anyone knows French, it would be WONDERFUL if you could post a comment that just translates that phrase exactly, and then maybe you could post what the proper grammar of it would be in French. Thank you, because I honestly don't know ANY French, but for some reason I have a strong desire for those two lines to be in French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I used to long for your gaze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now I can’t bear to see it again&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I wanted your lips to touch mine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And we’d be as one for a while&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But since I have seen you with him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I don’t think that we could reconcile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Well, I had and I hadn't. I had already started writing another short story, but I had never finished it. I never really had a solid idea of where it was going, and I never really had a solid grasp on what it was even about. Now it just sort of reads like the opening 4 paragraphs of the first chapter of some book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about religion, and I don't know why. I'm not religious, nor am I religiously atheist, so I don't know why the subject constantly pops up in my writing. I don't mean it to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here it is if you're interested:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    “And they have brought the wrath of God upon us. They have created a utopia. Just as we wish to, but theirs is not for the worship of Jesus, our lord and savior, it is not for God, the one true God, the God of the Israelites, and the God of you and I. NO! They have created a Utopia for Satan himself. Sinners run rampant, The women are whores, the men are immoral, and all the children illegitimate. Is this the world you want your children to be brought up in?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    Apparently it wasn’t. My family followed Samuel Parker into the hell that he called “Paradise on earth” in order to escape the tensions and so called “Sin” of the modern world. It was where I was born, where I spent my childhood, not knowing of the outside world, and then, in 2023, the year the US army decided to take military action against the horrors going on within our “paradise’s” walls, where I watched Samuel Parker sacrifice my mother and father (along with 50 or more other couples) in order for God to protect us from the wrath of “Satan’s Army” as he called them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    Perhaps it was the sight of my mother and father slitting each others throats with the knives stained (maybe not physically) with so much blood from so many people. Or maybe it was getting my first glimpse of how these so called “Sinners” lived, and that the outside world (or their “Utopia of Satan”, as Samuel called it) was a much more peaceful, and loving place than the utopia he had created. But whatever the reason, on that day I abandoned religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    I was thirteen and when rescued from Samuel Parker’s hell (as it later became known) I was placed in foster care. Five years passed, and nearly as many foster homes. Each one worse than the last. Every time they tried to instill a sense of faith in God, hope in prayer, and security in knowing that the afterlife brings better things. But I never bought it. After seeing the hell that Samuel Parker established in the name of this same God I should now love was enough to turn me off of the idea of religion forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;    But I am now eighteen. I am eighteen and never have to live with another fanatical religious family. Looking back, I can understand why they tried to place those religious ideas in me after what I had been through. I know that Samuel Parker’s form is not the real religion that drives so many other people, but in my mind if there is a God, then he allowed those events to unravel, and therefore he is not the one I wish to commit my life to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It still sort of wraps itself up in the end, despite me thinking I was going to return to it.

I've been reading and rereading it since I wrote it months and months ago (actually it's probably been about 4-6 months now), and have decided that it's good enough to post, in fact considering I haven't experienced any of the things I talk about (love, first kiss, complete and total feeling that all is right with the world) in this I'd say I fake my way through it pretty well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, here it is. It's called "Love (A Short Story of First Kiss, First Love, and Inner Peace)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I turn the corner and there she is. Her face like a Goddess. No, not like a goddess, she is a goddess. Her perfect brown curls trailing off her face like shaves of the darkest chocolate you could imagine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And then she smiles at me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her teeth are as perfect as you could imagine, two rows of the whitest pearls I’ve ever seen, like the bones of skeletons on Halloween her teeth glimmer back at me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She runs up and hugs me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Why do I deserve this? Why was I given a goddess? The very definition of beauty is standing in front of me. She wants me. And I can’t even imagine, in my wildest dreams, a girl half as beautiful wanting to spend a single second with me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She opens her mouth to speak. Rattling off  theories of Nietzsche and Socrates, her voice is perfect. Her intelligence matches her beauty, if it were physically possible, I would say surpasses, but I know better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She doesn’t want me. She can’t want me. Perhaps this is a dream. I could pinch myself and wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But I don’t.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I don’t wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now she’s laughing. She saw me do it. I explain to her what I was doing. She understands. She actually understands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;******&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;If there is a God, I don’t worship him. If there is a greater being out there, I don’t believe in it. I haven’t been to a church since I was 12. I haven’t wanted to go to church since even earlier. This girl can’t be a reward. I haven’t done anything a controller of things like this would want to reward me for doing. And I sure as hell aren’t perfect enough for this girl. She doesn’t seem to care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The next time I see her she says something, something to make me laugh. I laugh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The smile fades from my face and I look away. Not for long. Just a second. Just long enough for her to know that that leg of the conversation is over. I look back towards her and flavor explodes from my lips. Coffee and cigarettes. I’ve never tasted anything as wonderful. The twang of her lip gloss helps as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I’ve never been with anyone like this before. Not intimately. Not like this. It’s my first kiss. I’m 16 years old, and it’s my first kiss. Thankfully she seems to be leading. I don’t know where to go next. I follow her. Her mouth opens. I open mine. Her tongue enters my mouth. In the past I had always assumed this moment would be awkward. Maybe even disgusting. But I have never before done anything that felt so right, that tasted so wonderful, that gave me this feeling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I have been with her three hours today. My friend set me up on the first date.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Before last week I had never really even been able to talk to a girl without feeling inadequate, feeling pathetic. But Sam. Sam is different. I finally feel like, for once, perhaps everything is right with the world. Nothing could kill this moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;******&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I follow her to her room. We both lie down on her bed. Our lips break for the first time in what feels like hours, but I know to only be a minute. I wonder if I should have brought something. I wonder if she expects certain things out of me tonight. I wonder if she wants me. if she really wants me. She doesn’t. We just hold each other. It’s a cold December night, and we only need the warmth of each other’s company. But it’s better this way. I don’t need to be inside her. We don’t need to be one. Whenever we’re in each other’s company we are one. That is when I realize what Sam and I share. This is love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8979178597215296203-7744778442281122073?l=frameofworldview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/feeds/7744778442281122073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8979178597215296203&amp;postID=7744778442281122073' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/7744778442281122073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/7744778442281122073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/2008/01/love-short-story-of-first-kiss-first.html' title='Love (A Short Story of first kiss, first love, and inner peace)'/><author><name>Mat Wojcik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05703722624363161445</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979178597215296203.post-6027261208141329396</id><published>2007-12-23T15:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-23T16:18:12.988-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Well, my aunt and very good friend Megan (of &lt;a href="http://amonthoftodays.blogspot.com"&gt;A Month of Todays&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://dotintime.blogspot.com"&gt;A Dot In Time&lt;/a&gt;) tagged me for this. I like these things. They make me think deeply about myself, and it helps, especially at a time when I'm feeling so lazy and trapped as far as creative ventures go. So, here it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I have three options for after high school, and I don't like any of them. One is stay in Texas and go to school here, another is go to school out of state, and the third is not go to college, they all have their obvious downsides, but to me, they're all evenly matched. (I used to think that not going to college was something only dreadful incompetents did... now I realize either it's not, or I am one of those incompetents). I dream of finding that catch, or loophole, or getting that big break that will keep me from the dreaded halls of another school after I'm done with my current one, but I know that dream will probably never come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I feel like I have realized my true passion too late in life to fully adapt and create a career out of it, unless my odd knack for getting really lucky kicks in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I think in sentences, and often times talk to myself in my head (although it's more an inner monologue than a dialogue).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. My biggest fear is having to work in an office the rest of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I (like most teens) wish my parents' rules were more lax, although I really do think I have more reason to than any other person I've met (Although, again, most teens would say the same thing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I often become very deep and depressing when filling things like this out, I think this is because my innermost thoughts are much darker than the outward appearance I portray to people. I wouldn't call myself a depressed person though, on the contrary, I'm a very happy person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I wish I were supported more in my creative aspirations than I am. It's not that my parents don't support me, or don't try to support me, it's more that they (no matter how hard they try) can't understand that to me, music and movies are much more important than grades and school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shall tag a couple people, but I only really know two to tag...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://ne29.blogspot.com/"&gt;Inspired&lt;/a&gt; - The only blogger that actively comments and reads everything I post.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Savannah - of &lt;a href="http://highheelsandlowstandards.blogspot.com/"&gt;Miss Self Proclaimed Artistic&lt;/a&gt; - the only person I know my age who is as creatively varied as I think everyone should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The way it works: In a post on your blog, link to the person who tagged you and share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself...or make them up...who would know? Then tag 3 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs, along with&lt;br /&gt;"the way it works." Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. Hope you find some fun with this.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8979178597215296203-6027261208141329396?l=frameofworldview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/feeds/6027261208141329396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8979178597215296203&amp;postID=6027261208141329396' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/6027261208141329396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/6027261208141329396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/2007/12/well-my-aunt-and-very-good-friend-megan.html' title=''/><author><name>Mat Wojcik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05703722624363161445</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979178597215296203.post-7745535821233739204</id><published>2007-11-02T18:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-02T18:42:32.880-07:00</updated><title type='text'>O! How I hath forsaken you, dear blog!</title><content type='html'>O! How I hath forsaken you, dear blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed today that I have been neglecting this blog. So, here is some of the stuff I've been working on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I wrote a short story called "Love" (the title may change) It is in the process of being edited/rewritten and proofread by a couple close friends who I trust to be brutally honest. When those are done I'll post it here. I've been told it's really good, we'll see what you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Songs. LOTS of songs. I have been writing a huge number of poems and songs for my band Changes White. And here are a couple of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nothing Wrong With Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;There’s nothing’ new&lt;br /&gt;Under the sun&lt;br /&gt;Now that everything’s&lt;br /&gt;All said and done&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know what to do&lt;br /&gt;What to say&lt;br /&gt;You aren’t even the one I want&lt;br /&gt;anyway&lt;br /&gt;So I say farewell to you&lt;br /&gt;And your friends&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps you’ll be much happier&lt;br /&gt;In the end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because there’s nothing wrong&lt;br /&gt;With love&lt;br /&gt;But you’re just not the one&lt;br /&gt;That I’m thinking of&lt;br /&gt;I won’t even miss you&lt;br /&gt;When you’re gone&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this is why&lt;br /&gt;We are done&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to see you happy&lt;br /&gt;In the end&lt;br /&gt;But not with me&lt;br /&gt;Not my friends&lt;br /&gt;When I’m with you it’s as if there’s&lt;br /&gt;Nothing new&lt;br /&gt;Under the sun&lt;br /&gt;And I just want to be with&lt;br /&gt;Anyone&lt;br /&gt;But you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing wrong with love (y’know there’s nothing’ wrong)&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong with love (now that our pain is gone)&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong with love (and we can love again)&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong, nothing wrong (with love)&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong, nothing  wrong(with love)&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong, nothing wrong&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong with love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;And this next one is slightly pretentious. But it's always fun to create new things, and push the limits of the line between art and pretension. Besides being slightly pretentious, it's extremely depressing. Anyway, here it is. It's called:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One Man's Descent Into Madness After Break from Longtime Girlfriend and Lover Samantha Tucker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Introduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Common interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Happiness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inner peace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Love?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lust?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Love?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lust?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jealousy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Realization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Confrontation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Explosion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Break-up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Repeat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Confrontation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Explosion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Break-up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Repeat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Breakup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Repeat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Breakup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Repeat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;breakup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lonely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nostalgia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Insecurities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Depression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Paranoia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Self-mutilation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Suffering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Self-mutilation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Death&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Repeat?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Well, I suppose that's a happy enough note to end on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8979178597215296203-7745535821233739204?l=frameofworldview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/feeds/7745535821233739204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8979178597215296203&amp;postID=7745535821233739204' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/7745535821233739204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/7745535821233739204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/2007/11/o-how-i-hath-forsaken-you-dear-blog.html' title='O!

I am not entirely sure the "vfe" word, but I am fairly certain this translates to something like "Their dances which they use at their huge feasts" or in more "correct" English "They dance (as shown) at large feasts"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It made me wonder when I saw this in my United States History class, why did the language change? Was it just progression? the V's changed to U's? Some words just lost letters after a long time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was my first thought, and it is probably true, but it is also very strange. Because this sentence was written in the 1600s. Just 200-something years ago. Or, to put it in better perspective, it was written just 100 years before the constitution (which uses 'proper' English) was written. The language hasn't really changed much in the past 100 years. What happened between the time that sentence was written and thought to be proper, and the time the United States constitution was written? Why did the English Language change so much over such a short period of time? why did it obtain new rules so fast?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did a bit of research, because and found out that apparently what is written above isn't "Old English", as my English Teacher claimed. it is actually what is referred to as "Early Modern English" where words and rules used today were beginning to form, while still taking some of the grammar and pronunciation rules from Old English. The time line (according to Wikipedia) goes like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;450-1100: Old English (like how Beowulf was written)&lt;br /&gt;1100-1500: Middle English (author Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in this)&lt;br /&gt;1500-1650: Early Modern English (what this was written in, and Shakespeare)&lt;br /&gt;1650-present: Modern English&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old English is apparently a mixture between Germanic languages and the Romance Languages, It was largely pronounced phonetically, and had few grammar rules.&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoyed this. I find it crazy how language changes over time.

I hope it is recieved well. (wait, that would be e before i... I always do that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here it is, a poem I wrote that was originally going to be a song with my band, but we are having great difficulty putting it to music, and still fitting it into the frame of our style. We may do it eventually, but until then, you can enjoy it right here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Below her smile lies depression and  torment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And all the years of sadness and pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She, over time, began to experiment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;With everything she could obtain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Colors burst forth from the canvas and palate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her eyes ripped open and could finally see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The sounds in her ears, like a string quartet,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Opened her up, and her heart was set free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Patterns arose from the smoldering depths&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They enthralled her, and made her believe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That something out there, more important than love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Could change what everyone could achieve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Soon the magentas and bright turquoise explosions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Began to fade from her peripheral view&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her only true hope of better excursions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Was with the help of a psychedelic cue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Soon the only thing that people could see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Was the false exuberance she displayed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;She buried her true identity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in the drugs that had initiated this charade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When the colors burst forth from the canvas and palate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her eyes ripped open and could finally see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The sounds in her ears, like a string quartet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Opened her up, and her heart was set free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Patterns arose from the smoldering depths&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:

/&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Could change what everyone could achieve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For her, the pain and suffering had just disappeared&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;But for family and friends there was a long road ahead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And eventually the call meant just as they feared&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her happy existence had put her on her death bed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As the world gathered ‘round her final resting place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And the sea of tears filled the void in their hearts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;They did not understand what had happened to her&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As her soul left her body, and her grave counterparts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That was when the colors burst forth from the canvas and palate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Her eyes ripped open and could finally see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The sounds in her

type='text'>Test... Test</title><content type='html'>I started this and thought this would be my photography blog. It didn't work out like that. I thought of a better name for a photography blog, it wasn't taken, I took it. I really enjoy other types of art though. I have a film blog. I have a band website. I now have a photography blog. So, finally, here it is. My writing blog. I write short stories, abstract ideas that come to my mind when I'm thinking too much, and poems. I write a lot of other things as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think words are very special. It's insane how you can put them all together and create something. Create something that, depending on how they were put together, not the point you are trying to make, can be beautiful, or really ugly.&lt;br /&gt;They're just words, but they're fun do mess around with, don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have written some poems, I will post those later. This will probably be updated just about once a week. Perhaps more, but I doubt it. Words are hard to come by. I don't want to run out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8979178597215296203-3741396472273323276?l=frameofworldview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/feeds/3741396472273323276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8979178597215296203&amp;postID=3741396472273323276' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/3741396472273323276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979178597215296203/posts/default/3741396472273323276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://frameofworldview.blogspot.com/2007/08/test-test.html' title='Test...
