The Painting

Hi, guys! Page Turner here again. It's been a while since my last post. Some friends of mine have had some personal tragedies, and I haven't really been in a writing mood for a while. Also, I'm trying to get up early and get more stuff done in the day. Unfortunately, my responsible mindset pushed out my blog! Well, I'm back guys, and I'm going to be more consistent. I already have a few posts in mind for the rest of the week. Anyway, sorry about the delay. Even though the past couple of weeks have been busy, God's still been with me. It's hard to see and feel Him sometimes, but He's still there. Oh, yeah! I wrote a poem. Hope you like it!

                                                     The Painting
                                     There was a painting on the wall
                                   Of sylvan brushstrokes, fair and tall
                               Of soft blue breezes, and gossamer lines
                           That spoke of seasons and stopped the time
                                       Of fractals of shattered light
                                   That glowed upon the line of sight
                             Of swaying blue blades and purple trees
                                   Of a golden beauty played in a key
                               So soft and beautiful and sweet and rare
                                That music and paint were again a pair
                                   A man stood before the painting
“                                 What artist painted this?” asked he
                                      “The masterpiece is priceless,
                                         It’s a work of sheer beauty”
                                      Someone who was watching him
                                      answered the dumbstruck man
                                    “That wasn’t painted, sir,” he said
                               “Those strokes weren’t thought or planned
                                    The painting isn’t a work of art,
                                            Nay, nor was it made
                                  But as the revolving globe spins on
                                         Time must make its trade
                                The poor, wondering man walked on,
                                      Leaving the second alone
                               Thoughts of sadness and utter lost
                              Plagued the first one as he walk home
                              There are three, however in this story,
                                       The two were just a part
                                For behind the men talking there
                                 Was the one who made the art

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,...

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Book 1

             Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope you are having a great summer! I like to read a lot, and one of my very favorite books is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. While a sad book, it is one of those works of literature that you feel has profoundly changed your life.

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...
