This is a commentary about the nonsense that is haiku.
Haikus don’t make sense,
But they don’t really have to.

New Post Numero Dos!
Forgot to mention this last post Mrs. Morrison but my internet was down and this was my first chance to post because I’m using Janet’s laptop, I hope my grade will not be affected.
I wanted to take some time to discuss another nerdy topic: Magic The Gathering. It is a card game where you fight with creatures and magic and all that type of garbage. Me and my boys have quite a bit of fun playing it. The game breaks down like this: you, the player, is known as a plains walker a mage who moves through different plains of existence to learn different types of summoning spells and abilities. There are 5 types of magic, black, white, blue, red, and green. Black uses offensive death spell type magic, white is holy healing type magic, blue is defensive magic, red is direct attack damage, and green is creature summoning focused. It’s a crazy amount of fun.

It's D&D!
I'm currently playing D&D with my good friends. We are messing up a bunch of Goblins and a dragon. Anyhow, I greatly love being a nerd, especially because I still get to have a hot girlfriend =D. Erik Lupton just hit a goblin with some fire, good times, good times. Annnd I just died...for the second time... this is getting to be ridiculous! We’re about to win! But I’m still dead. This is rather fun, I can’t imagine what whoever might be reading this would think haha. I sound nuts…oh well life goes on, unless of course you’re dead, like me. Ok now we won and now Janet is going to heal me, this is good. Anyway, I really enjoy these types of fantasy games; I wish life was a real adventure: slaying beasts, saving damsels on distress, helping the weak and helpless. Being a true hero! Yes I am a super nerd and I am proud.

Character Backstory
This was my character, Patik’s, back-story from the monologues.
Patik was born in present day India long before the countries were divided as they are now. He was born to a family of moderate wealth and social standing. As a young man he was arranged to married to the beautiful girl in his village whom he fell deeply in love with. By the age of 16 they were to be wed, but she fell ill and died. Heart broken, Patik set out on a journey that would take throughout most of the known world. He studied several different martial arts and held conference with several religious figures and gurus. He became a master of the arts and the growing and preparation of food. Years later Patik was visiting his brother in the village of his birth when he stumbled upon a child, no older that a few days, weeks at best, abandoned. He waited with the child for several hours for the young boys parents to return. When no one came Patik searched high and low to no avail. He adopted the boy as his own and raised him as the son he never had.

Alphabet Poem
Frantic, foolhardy, frenzied, freak
Gains, gainsay, genial, goodness
Half-baked habits, half hearted hate
Is idle, ill-advised, inane
Just jovial jubilee, jolly journaled journey
Keeps, keeper’s, keepsake
Love’s, lover’s luscious lady-love
My mind makes me mad, my mistress makes me mirthful
Gains, gainsay, genial, goodness
Half-baked habits, half hearted hate
Is idle, ill-advised, inane
Just jovial jubilee, jolly journaled journey
Keeps, keeper’s, keepsake
Love’s, lover’s luscious lady-love
My mind makes me mad, my mistress makes me mirthful
Marching Band
The dull roar of a crowded room,
everyone sets up while all horns tune.
The shine of the drums, woodwind, and brass
at long last comes the beginning of class.
B-flat warm up, it's time to play,
and find that every instrument has something to say.
Percussion booming, while woodwinds hum,
the brass crescendos in with a loud buh-bum!
In heat of summer, in the dead of night,
On the bleachers, or decked out for sake of Halloween’s fright.
Drummer roll off, let cadence begin
Fingers crossed that our team might actually win.

Old Scene
A bit delayed but here it is...
Spiderman- Pete Imbesi
Doctor Octopus- Jose Garcia
Woman- Alison Farrell
[Spiderman is minding his own business, swinging through the city and searching for trouble.]
Woman: EEEEEEEEEEEK!
Spiderman: That came from the bank on the other street... Better check it out.
[At the bank! Dr. Octopus is grabbing moneybags from a vault.]
Dr. Octopus: Good funding is so hard to come by these days... Thankyou for letting me make a little withdrawal... Heh.
Woman: Just you wait, Ock, Spiderman'll get you for this!
Dr. Octopus: Hm! Unfortunately, I won't be around long enough to allow that irritating arachnid the time to get me.
Woman: Just you wait- Hey! Spiderman!
[Spiderman swoops in, looking defiant and awesome.]
Spiderman: Drop the money, Ock!
Dr. Octopus: Punctual as always, we were just speaking of you.
Woman: Get him, Spid-AHH! Help me!
[Ock grabs the woman in his claws, and holds them over her head ominously!]
Spiderman: Let her go, Ock!
Dr. Octopus: Make one more move, and she loses her head.
Spiderman: Put her down.
Dr.Octopus: I'll put her down, once you've gone on your merry way.
[Spiderman begins to back away bit by bit, but at the last second, shoots a web at Doc Ock's face, leaving the villain to panic and shoves the woman away. Spiderman keeps the woman from falling, giving Doc Ock enough time to escape through the bank entrance.]
Spiderman: Huh... I wonder what he's up to.
