Movie Quotes

Love Never Dies
Pirates of the Caribbean (I love any quotes from this movie)
Pocahontas
Dead poets Society 

"Reel" Life


I honestly have no clue what my favorite movie is.  I have multiple movies that I love but I have to be in a certain mood to watch them.  If I had to choose it would probably be Les Miserables, I know no surprise.  I love that movie so much just because well its a musical and because of the dynamics and the emotions that are in it.  I kinda know all the words to all the songs and when I am watching it, I sing along without even knowing.  The only problem that I have with this movie is that it is so long so I do not get to watch it as much as I wish.  
I usually do not go for the stupid comedy, I just cannot laugh at that stuff.  Most of the time I laugh at peoples facial expressions and witty things people say.  
Anytime I watch a movie, I always have to have a blanket and my water bottle, which means that I usually get up 50 times to go to the bathroom during the movie. I might have something to snack on but it isn't necessary.
The top two results that I got from the quiz that was posted was the information-seeking and socialization. The information-seeking means that I like to watch movie that I learn from, which can be true.  but for the most part I am the socialization. This is extremely true for me.  Most of the time when I watch movies I watch it with a group of friends and that is when I find a lot of the movies I enjoy.

Forgotten Station


     The man whipped off the sweat off his brow, after a long day in the summer heat.  He had worked hard to keep his business in good shape, but again, he did not have any costumers that day.  He took a deep breath and wondered over to the edge of his cement patch, where his gas station ended and the field begin.  This was one of the reasons he never had costumers.  His business was in the middle of nowhere, no one ever came out here, it was a deserted town and he had only stayed because he could not stand leaving his childhood behind.  Everywhere he looked was familiar and he would never have to worry about getting lost.  Friendly smiles greeted him at every turn and he felt wanted in his small slice of the world.   But he could no longer afford to live here.  He used up his entire life savings to live in his hometown but now he knew he could not stay.  He had to take in the view of his field and the trees while he had the chance to see that freedom.  He would miss it, it would become part a desire of his to come back here and show his grandchildren where he lived.  He thought of all the wonderful memories of his life time in this town, but then his mind wandered to the bills sitting on the kitchen table.  At that moment his teenagers ran outside with a old beat up soccer ball in there hands as they shoved each other back in forth.  They ran out to the field to play soccer for their entertainment of their evening, because they had to sell the television to pay the bills.  The kids had given up so many opportunities in their childhood because they could not pay for it.  So, he would give up his hometown and move somewhere where they could make more of a living and had the comforts of home.  He had decided what he was going to do and he had to do it before his determination ran out.

Window


A cement path leads to the backyard,
To the left the vegetable garden and someone bushes are against the house.
Today the grass is trimmed but still has the brown dead color.
When I usually look out there is a bunny sometimes hiding in the divot of the yard.
The sun comes down at the horizon peaking through the trees.
The road buzzing with cars on a distant road brings back memories 
I see my childhood in this yard and the thought of adventure.

Love is in the air
Or at least with a little help it is
Some suggest that cupid is responsible for couple's "happily ever after"
But it is really by chance that two people meet and fall in love
After all there is love at first sight
But that is all wrong
If people did fall in love at first sight it would be for looks,
Not personality.
But how should I know,
I am just a high school student.


Hear no evil,
Speak no evil,
See no evil,
we try and avoid all evil by blocking it out
but does that really work?
Evil is still present in the world,
But we are oblivious to it.
So why do we try to hear no evil,
or speak no evil,
or even see no evil?

Sarah Stockstill's Floral Life


     My mom is an amazing painter. We have at least five of her paintings hanging up in our house and one of her drawings.  I love her style because it is a bunch of landscapes and beautiful  sunsets. She even did a paper mosaic of Jesus but then someone stole it, she talks about it often because it is one of the things that she is most proud of.  When she was out of college she stopped painting and started to focus on her career and having a family.  She would paint every once and awhile, most of the times it was simple stuff, like painting the walls of our bedroom with a border across the room.  At our old house my room had carousel horses around the top of the walls and our kitchen had flowers that grew out of our baseboard.  That's the one thing that I remember about my old house and it is the thing that I probably miss the most.  But when I was in middle school my mom decided that she was not going to pay 100 bucks for a painting that she could make herself.  Now that painting is hanging above our TV and almost any new guest in our house comments on it.  She hasn't painted anything new sense then but I have been trying to get her to start again.  I will pull up photos on my phone and ask her if she can paint it, she always says yes but she would have to find the time. I hope that eventually she can find the time to someday wonder back to something she is amazing at. 

The flowers blended
but barely noticeable 
still living on
