.... see how this would help us in any way; my place was straight ahead about one minute away. Ben was all too happy to go as well, so I had no say. I think the walk was meant to savour the moment, which wouldn't be that bad. I felt content and I think the others felt the same way. We walked up a dark street, lit only by streetlights, just talking about nothing. We turned into the first road on the right. I thought this was going to be a small detour before we'd return to my warm room for the third film. The cold air was only going to have a few minutes to find a way into my impenetrable jacket. It tried getting through my zip, up my sleeves and down my neck, but it still didn't s ....

.... the period, Chris would be diligently working. Chris and I did not have much in common, but one thing we did share was our Algebra II class that followed the lunch period. Most days Chris would still be studying while I was on the way out of the cafeteria. One day in particular, the bell that marks the end of the lunch period had just rung, and I was heading out for Ms. Henyon's math class. I saw up ahead of me, Chris frantically flipping through his Algebraic Concepts text book. I approached Chris and asked: "Did we have any homework we were supposed to do?" "All we had to do was study for the test today," Chris replied. As usual, I had forgotten another quiz; either ....

.... biggest rivalry west of the Mississippi. Anyway the point was to treat it just like any other game, and not let the massive crowds get to you. As I was driving around the school Thomas was looking for a parking spot, we saw the girls over in the corner looking at us like we were gods. “You know why they are looking at us right” busted out Thomas. Yeah I know why, because we are the big men on campus and they will look at us even more after we win that Glendale game tonight. Later that morning Thomas and I meet up with the rest of the guys from the team, they were all as nervous as we were. Knowing that there was a lot riding on this game, and for some it was even more ....

.... in their heads. "And I dropped down, and down," in other words, Emily just passed out. Not only was Emily passed out, she was also having near-death experiences according to the poem "My life closed twice before its close." Maybe she was trying to kick the habit and became depressed. "It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me" means that she is worried about dying and she wondered if there is anything for her after this life. Once again, in her poem "Because I could not stop for Death," Dickinson is writing about her death, only she's talking in the past tense like she's already dead. Depression? Withdrawal? Crack? Will someone please tell me ....

.... in the past but that happens to everyone. I used to be against all forms of authority, in general, I did not think anyone had the right to tell me what to do or where to go. Along with that belief came the outright rebellion against the normal. Also, a whole anarchy thing was in my life for a long while. I do not know why I believed in it at all, I just did. It was probably from the whole rebellion aspect of my life. I started to slack off a little in school and my attitude was changing a lot, for the worse. This got a lot better as time passed. Ahh the present, the me as I am right now. Just recently I have gotten a massive dose of reality. I do not know how, or what from, o ....

.... spoiled little brat that always got my way. Secondly, going to the mall with this girl is an absolute nightmare. It’s her goal to embarrass the crap out of me. She’s very self-conscious about herself and so anything I try on or think I might buy she practically screams about the high price or how slutty she thinks it looks. I always leave the mall empty-handed when I’m with her. The funny thing about this, however, is that a week later she usually ends up buying these clothes for herself. I just smile at her and tell her how nice they look on her. Finally, she’s most jealous of my other friends. She’s constantly telling me ridiculous things about them in hop ....

.... whether or not we were of similar backgrounds. After that day T.W. and myself were what you could call best of friends. Travis Walker Gerron is a light complected, red headed, freckle faced, god fearing, honest individual. When I say freckle faced, I don’t mean it literally. What I really mean is that if I had a dollar for every freckle on his body it would be palm trees and coconuts from here on out. Red headed is just a polite way of saying, are you sure your not Irish? Nevertheless, he has always been and still is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. This is the type of kid who made A’s in every class and couldn’t wait to get home and do his ....

.... Well it was about three hours before the game, and one hour before I got through with work. All of a sudden my phone rings, and it was my mother-in-law "wondering" if I wanted a couple of free view box tickets and a parking pass, for that nights Ranger game. I couldn't have been more excited, much less believe my luck. After I got off work , and picked up the tickets, I raced home to get my wife and son ready to go. Over the next half hour, I almost regretted having to bring my son, what with the hassle of getting the diaper bag packed , the traffic, and fighting the crowds while pushing a stroller. It was hectic, but I survived. Finally we were situated and rea ....
