Why Twilight Sucks: A Comprehensive Analysis By A Writer Who Actually Read It

Murphy's lawless — Sun, 19 May 2013 23:46:17 +0000

Based on everything I'd heard about Twilight, including a basic synopsis sprinkled with some finer details (like the sparkling), I could only assume that Stephanie Meyer was yet another author who managed to squeeze out a literary turd and somehow convince a publisher that it was solid gold. Still, I had never read the book(s), only skimmed them and read a paragraph here and there, so it didn't seem fair to criticize this alleged turd without sifting through it.

MATH. Mental Abuse To Humans

This might explain my struggles with simple problems as of late…

I actually had a problem like this in my math book.

Turned out the authors thought it might be funny.

Not always, some problems are just pain free to lull you into the idea that math is safe.

I saw one of these with the subject of tacos! wtf?

Below are some links to work sheets and math related articles.

King and Lionheart-Of Monsters and Men. Song meanings? (Old unposted articles #2)

Well, I just think that perhaps she’s the one who keeps him, the King, going on. The Lionheart, the bravery that keeps him from cowering away… is he one thing that keeps him going and holds him up, her love is what keeps him going, that makes him brave, strong, a King…. She’s what he needs to be the King, his heart, his bravery, his strength, his love, none of it would be there without her… she’s always behind him whatever he does she’s always there to catch his fall, always there to keep him up and keep him strong, always there to save him, help him, keep him safe from himself.

So, I’m back. Contrary to rumors that I died of heartbreak I’m glad to inform you that I was only maimed. Since then I have been through a lot of ups and downs in life. Such as finding a twenty dollar bill in a shirt at Goodwill but then finding out that it was the old mans shirt from the changing room next to me… So needless to say, my life was about as steady as a teeter-totter. One day school is good another day it pours rain and I feel like I’m drowning in it. Well, you get the point anyway.

Meeting my crush….. O_O

Murphy's lawless — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:02:50 +0000

I might get to see my crush that I’ve had for four years on Saturday. The down side to that is that I’ll be skipping a math class and losing about sixty bucks to do it. This is one of those times that I dislike the feelings I have. It would be so easy to just not go see her, however i don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t. God, why does she mean so much to me? Why do I feel the need to be, not just to impress her, but to actually be a better person? It scares me. I’m only nineteen! What did I do to deserve this? However as afraid as I am, I wouldn’t want to be with out her in my life for all the stars in the night sky or the sun in the morning.

I don’t have money for coffee to keep me awake.
I’m going to fall asleep at any time, I can see it.

Also, can it be Friday already.

Happy Thanksgiving! (Okay. Yeah, I know it’s Sunday now but I just hadn’t had a chance to tell you.)

But I’m glad that you guys still read my blog every now and then, considering the ever widening substantial expanse of time between my posts.
