Santa Claus
Magical Figure
North Pole
Dear Santa:
I'm on the edge of being on the naughty list. But it isn't my fault. You can blame the girlfriend for that. She just can't resist me. Can you blame her? Look at me. I'm sexy and I know it. Anyways other then that I've been fairly good... I guess. Okay maybe not on the mats. Because I've been tossing people like rag dolls lately. IT'S SO MUCH FUN! Can't guard me! There are other incidents that might put me on the naughty list but let's just skip the details. Let's just get to the wish list.
Okay Santa here's the deal. I don't want or need that many items but there is a few things you could get me. Firstly I would like a fender strate. To rip it up like David Gilmour. He is god on the guitar! Secondly having a bowflex would be great. No pain no gain! I love that burning sensation. Lastly I know this last item might question my uh... yeah. A pink with purple lining singlet. Don't ask why I want it. Personal I think it will give me a psychologial advantage. Plus the look on my oppostions face will be rich.
Sincerly Landon

To text or to not to text?
"It isn't professional. It's saying, 'To hell with all of you,' " says Pamela Eyring. The article depicts that people are losing their "one-on-one people skills," and the ability to maintain focus in conversations. This is a growing concern in our society and for future generations. It continues to discuss that people are becoming selfish or "cell-fish" with the respectful use of using cell phones in social encounters.

Today
I am the stop sign of serious
You people been to oblivious
It's time to let loose
It's time to be curious
let go of your excuse
The woman in front of me in the line
I'd say was at least a nine
I recited a sonnet
She thought it was cute but said "no I'm fine"
I walked away from that brunette
My friends die from laughter
That I tried to chase after
I'm glad that they laugh
I have nothing to regret from hereafter
But it feels as I've been hit by a giraffe
They do not speak of fun and jokes
Pretty sure soon they'll die from strokes
It's time they have fun
They are too serious of folks
Maybe I'll buy them a water gun
I'm rifling through the pockets in my mind
pretty soon I'll be outta time
To show you how to live
When I'm gone look at my rhymes
And I'll arrive
I played Icarus in my school play
That was such an awful display
I probably was the worst
But did I astray
No, I went in head first
Inside the old box
Nothing but blocks and rocks
But give it to a child
He'll be as free as a fox
You'll never see a bigger smile
You people been to oblivious
It's time to let loose
It's time to be curious
let go of your excuse
The woman in front of me in the line
I'd say was at least a nine
I recited a sonnet

I walked away from that brunette
My friends die from laughter
That I tried to chase after
I'm glad that they laugh
I have nothing to regret from hereafter
But it feels as I've been hit by a giraffe
They do not speak of fun and jokes
Pretty sure soon they'll die from strokes
It's time they have fun
They are too serious of folks
Maybe I'll buy them a water gun
I'm rifling through the pockets in my mind
pretty soon I'll be outta time
To show you how to live
When I'm gone look at my rhymes
And I'll arrive
I played Icarus in my school play

Nothing but blocks and rocks
But give it to a child
He'll be as free as a fox
You'll never see a bigger smile

Fairy Tales of Perfection
Nothing in the world is perfect. Why do writers usually stereotype perfection in poems and stories? In the poem "puce fairy book" by Alice Major and the article "Forget Prince Charming" by June Callwood the authors justify that looking for perfection in relationships isn't going to happen. Alice Major would probably agree with the grandmothers advice to her grandchildren.
Alice Major uses the more common fairy tales to prove that wanting or looking for perfection in romance is never going to happen. She compares herself to the fairy tales and she "with thanks, and honour," doesn't want to be Cinderella. Her foot was "too big to fit," in the glass slipper. That men have to stop looking for the "perfect" woman in a relationship and stop making their expectations so high. To stop comparing average woman to fairy tales. Because no girls hair will "grow long enough," like Rapunzel.
June Callwood in her article "Forget Prince Charming" explains what to look for to find a stable relationship. She explores the aspects to find the "perfect" relationship. The grandmother doesn't believe "that a perfect mate exists," and tells her granddaughters what to seek when looking for happiness... (ran out of time)
Alice Major would mostly agree with the advice given by the grandmother to her granddaughters. The grandmother tells them to look for someone that can compromise, that is honest and the ability to collaborate. In the poem "puce fairy book" indicates that romance isn't perfect because not every girl has the same shoe size to fit the "crystal slipper." This is why Alice would agree with the grandmother. That she tells her granddaughters that looking for perfect won't result in a strong relationship. Both show that looking for character will be better if you want to "live happily ever after".
