  1. help with a lesson plan

    I'm currently planning a lesson to do with 4th-6th graders as part of a practicum in my Education program at university. I was hoping to select a poem that is very descritive to read to the kids as they draw what they see through the words. My initial idea was to use Coleridge's "Kubla Kahn," but I've since decided that this will probably be too difficult a poem for 4th-6th graders (based on experience I've had with 'em).

  2. Should I forgive you?

    Should I forgive you?

    I am alone, with my broken heart

    Struggling with past memory

    Trying to mend my heart

    Trying to stand on my own

    I am so confused,

    I just don't know what to do,

So for a one hour routine you can figure 30 minutes of cardio, 20 minutes of strength, and 10 minutes of abs. Another principle is exercising all three levels in a workout: ...

    Ok, I feel like blogging but I have no particularly interesting thoughts currently so I thought I'd tell you a story about me as a child.

    When I was young I was obsessed with pigs. The only animal on Old MacDonald's farm I cared about was the one that went Oink, to hell with the stupid cows and ducks, I only wanted to hear the verse about the pig. Somewhere along the line, I got it into my head that it would be tremendous fun to ride a pig.

    Anyway, there was a TV show ...

  5. Chapter 7 -- "Rescued!"

    Chapter 7 -- "Rescued!"

    Anthony woke up in the dark, freezing. He managed to rummage around and find a nice thick sweatshirt. Taking a drink of bottled water, he saw that the sky was clear and it looked as though the stars were hanging down low, relaxed, as if backstage, unobserved, after a tiring performance. Anthony saw the big dipper tipping precariously, well above the horizon. The sea seemed fairly calm and he paddled a bit to rotate his barge. Immediately, a swirling
