Page Turner 411

I stand before the massive clocks Made of copper and gleaming bright And as the clocks begin to chime Their sides shine in the light With a loud tick, a grinding sound With a boom the hand slowly moves And as I stand there I can see The hand won't move when I choose Surrounded by small clocks And clocks that reach the floor I'm surrounded by old-fashioned pieces In a room without a door The sunlight comes from somewhere Softly into the room That would, otherwise have been, A ticking timeless tomb And as I watch the face Of an old clock on the wall My eyes fix on the clock And I begin to fall I'm in a swirl of color Of memories, of light As the world is spinning In fractures of day and night Sound and music blur the air Ribbons of color are free And suddenly, as I stand there I see my life before me Each second is flying by I see the choices I've made The acts I've done throughout my life In Technicolor display When the whirling stops,...

Hi, Page Tuner here! Have you ever seen "Finding Nemo ", "Tangled, " or pretty much any other Disney movie? They pretty much have a few things in common: 1. They all have singing 2. They all have heroes 3. And they all have a point in the story where I'm sobbing     The second point is pretty true for almost every movie, book, or television show ever created, right? A story can't function, not really, without a hero. What would the point of the Avengers be without the Avengers? Or Aladdin without Aladdin? Or " The Princess and the Frog" without the princess or the frog? (Also, hero's get their names on movies a lot!) So what makes a movie hero a hero? Well, mostly bravery. Not many hero's end up with their hero cred by cowering in fear or running away. To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer." This reminds me of a movie....            Have you eve...

Hi, Page Turner here! Whew! I made it through Monday. I've always liked Tuesdays, so hopefully today's going to be a good day! I was categorizing my post and realized I have very few posts about writing, so I'm going to write about writing, if that's all write. Here we go!           Okay, so writing's one of my favorite things to do. God's given me a love for writing, but it's not always easy. I did find there's a couple of axioms in writing, though. For anyone who's ever written any fiction, they'll know this is true.  1. When you write fiction, the characters seem to grow by themselves. You begin writing, and you've got a couple basic traits for this person, but as you write, you get to know them better as your imagination kicks in. As you're writing, inspiration can hit and you're left with a more few characters than you started with, and characters that are more real than when you began! 2. When you write, it's kind of lik...

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. Monday isn't the best of days, so I'd like to let off some steam by revisiting one of my favorite things to do: debate about movies. Oh, yeah. Today's topic? Who is the best Avenger? (Yeah, uh oh. This could conversation could get heated :) The following post is my personal opinion and I'd love to hear yours in the comments!        Okay, so we've got, what, like, 10 Avengers now? Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch...I'm leaving out a few, but you get the gist. I'm going to just focus on the original: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk. Now, pretty much all of these guys are pretty cool. Natasha's like a secret agent/karate fighter, the Hulk can turn green and smash buildings, Iron Man's like a techno Superman, Thor can, well, control lightning, Hawkeye's Avenger's version of Katnis, and Captain America'...

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back from an Easter weekend and I'm back into Mundane Mondays, singing the Mama's and the Papa's, "Monday, Monday." Mondays can be pretty rough. Back from the weekend of fun and relaxation (and homework) to a busy school week of tests and quizzes or a workweek of, well, work. God's always with us--even through Mundane Mondays. He doesn't stop being God, just because Easter is over! He is still the same, and the joy is still the same. I advise trusting in God everyday---advice I need to heed. God's always going to be there for us, even on those bummer days where literally everything goes wrong. Hope you have a good day, and trust in God. Page Turner, over and out.                                                   ...

Happy Easter! The King is risen from the dead! Hallelujah! God is worthy of all praise! Happy Easter                                                                                                      ----page turner

Hey guys, Page Turner here. As we think about the amazing gift of grace God has given us, I want to count other blessings he's given to me. I am blessed to have such an amazing family, and a wonderful dog named Fox. My three cats are pretty sweet too, and God's given me a love for writing. I love spring, and eating pizza, and reading books by L.M. Montgomery. God's given me an awesome life, and I've recently had some time to spend with friends. Aren't friends the coolest? As a pastor once pointed out, our greatest happiness isn't found in things, but in people. And God is the greatest Person of all, where our joy is found in. He died in our place, and gives us life in Him to those who believe. He is amazing!  Page Turner over and out!                                          ...

Today is Good Friday, and the weight of this day is overwhelming. The Lamb of God, who is perfect and holy and good, was tortured and killed. Many know about Easter and acknowledge Good Friday, but the importance of it is sometimes hard to comprehend.        C.S. Lewis was blessed with an amazing writing talent, and created a beautiful analogy known as the The Chronicles of Narnia. It's commonly been told from Lucy's perspective, and as the stories progress, from Eustace's. But I think that the important character to identify with is not the heroic Peter, or the brave Susan, or even faithful Lucy, but perhaps Edmund.     Edmund was not in a good place. He resented Peter that bordered on hate for his older brother. They had moved to a large estate in the English countryside during World War II, living with an old professor. When Lucy came running during the middle of a game, saying she'd found a fantastical land, Edmund was jealous and his ...

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. As you've found out, I've found out pages. The one at the top of the screen entitled, "The Write Stuff" is the one for writing, because God's given me the passion for creating stories. This is all about stories, writing, and so on and so forth. (Look, it's late, okay? Just go with it...:) Hope you have as much fun reading it as I do writing it! Page Turner, over and out.                                                                                                     ...

Hey, it's me and I've found out how to make pages. The one above, "Fun Trivia and Random Fact" is for fun facts and trivia, just because I like it and it's super fun to find. Thanks for reading! Page Turner, over and out.                                                                                            ---page turner P.S. People in Japan eat crackers made with wasps. Look it up.

Hey, me again! Guess what! I found how to give my blog pages. Yeah! The above, "Movie Reviews" will get you to my movie reviews. (And there will be many :) Anyway, I got pages now. Yeah! (Again.)

Hi, Page Turner here! I just did my review on Zootopia yesterday, but after a brief conversation about movies with my friends yesterday, I need to vent. There are some movies I just don't like, and some that I think are awesome that other people can't stand. So here is my list of movies I'd wish I'd never seen, and some movies I want to defend. If my view is different than yours, cool! Can't wait to here some of your favorite movies in the comments! Here are some movies I could have done without...Beware of spoilers. I hope you like my mini reviews! Lost in Space : Okay, if you've ever watched this, you know that it started out great. I mean, overworked dad in the future takes lovely wife, genius kid, rebellious teen, and his daughter, the doctor, onto an adventure in the solar system. Together, with a suave pilot and an evil uncle, they voyage through deep space on a scifi adventure. Then--BAM---they fly through a wormhole the kid made, change the course of t...

Hi, Page Turner here! I recently got to go see Zootopia. I'm here now to let you know if the Disney Studios new movie was really the bees knees or if it deserved to be in the dog house. Hop onto the nearest monorail out of Bunny Burrow, keep your paws, tails, and ears within the moving vehicle and beware of spoilers!            Zootopia is the city where anyone can be anything. At least, that's what young Judy Hopps was told as a small bunny born to carrot farmers in Bunny Burrow. And if she can be anything, she decides, she wants to be a police officer, a job usually reserved for predator animals. When Gideon Grey, a kid fox in the Burrow, bullies her and tells her that she'll never be a cop, she gets both a resolve for her dream, and hesitation for foxes. Many years later, with a graduation from police training at the top of her class, Judy Hopps leaves her family to go to Zootopia, to fulfill her dream as being on its police force. A...

Hi, Page Turner here! (again) I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be putting a post up on my blog every day before 4:00 p.m. I know it's a real bummer to look at a blog day after day, and there be nothing on it, so unless I'm gone, or sick, or SUPER busy, I'll try to put one up, okay? (Okay, so this is partly because I have, like, zero memory to write and this might encourage me.) So yeah! There's my update. By the way, what are you doing on the computer? It's March, for Pete's sake. Get up! Go outside! Talk to your family! Play games, read a book, write an email to a friend. God's given us each time on earth to love Him and glorify Him and learn about Him....and I don't want to waste that! Encourage me in keeping up with my blog by reading it...and I would love some comments from whoever is reading. Have a nice day!                            ...

Hi, Page Turner here! It's been a while, but I'm back and a lot's happened. For one, I've seen Zootopia! (Watch out for a review on that) Disney stuff is all around us. Peter Pan inspired his own collar, fake syndrome, and countless movies and TV shows, including, "Finding Neverland," "Pan", "Hook," "Jake and the Neverland Pirates," and many others. Ask any four (or twenty) year old to sing "Let it Go," and they'll know the lyrics and many people know the basic plot of Star Wars. Cinderella has inspired new movies and endless amounts of brick a brack, and many know who Prince Charming is. I could go on, but let's just say that Disney movies create new things in our society. Ever heard of the Peter Pan Syndrome? That's when a young adult over the age of 25 stays in their parent's basement and plays video games, thus 'they don't want to grow up.' Yeah, that probably rings a bell now. Well, I...
