An Ode to My iPod


 iPod, it was a normal day.
You've been my friend for so long, I thought you'd be okay.
It was sunny, like normal. Nothing seemed wrong. You gave me music to run to.
Suddenly, the sky broke open.
I didn't think anything of it.
I'm sorry, poor iPod!
You kept giving music to the end
I laid you beside the computer and went on my way
But then!
You wouldn't work, dear iPod.
Oh, my distress! What happened?
Did water get into your heart?
Oh, iPod! I can no longer listen to you as I run.
Exercise will be mundane.
Late nights of listening to audiobooks are history.
Dear, iPod, I miss you.
I've done all I can for you.
The Basmati rice isn't helping draw out the water.
Is there hope?
Are you dead, dear iPod?
Or will you awake?
Running hasn't been the same without you, iPod.
There's not any music in life.
Wake up, little grey iPod.
If nothing works, I shall have to say good-bye.
I may have to get another iPod...
But it won't be the same.
Good-bye, little iPod.
I shall always remember you.

Calling All Lego Lovers!

     Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today.      If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts.      Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats.      In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight.        The U.S.S. Martin  is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Back Again

                Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope that everyone is having a great summer! One of the things that I am really excited about this summer is reading. With school and everything else going on, I haven't made time to read a book in a really, really long while. I feel like God gave us books, and that reading the right books can be a blessing in our lives. They can inspire us to be creative, teach us lessons, inspire us to love one another, and move our hearts to both a greater understanding and a greater love for our Savior. I feel like a few hours with a good book are a great use of time--and I plan to be doing just that this summer!       Over the next few months, I really hope to revisit some old books as well as some new ones. I know I can't read all of them, but I also hope to at least take a thoughtful review of some books that I feel God has used to impact my life. That's why I've made a non-definitive list of 15 F...
