riding the storm ravaged waves(in the calming dark of night)

riding the storm ravaged waves(in the calming dark of night)

of

your jet-black trestles,           so curled

were the fingers that bled through

my shirt

as you twisted at the cords of maroon

keeping my heart in my chest

 we could have been much

more, had you not poisoned

my wine with your sweet nectar, cursing my name

with your perfect lips

that I couldn’t

have

 they called me(tentatively first then

assuredly) crazy, for loving you after

what you had done( leaving me thirsting

for blood)

I could not have let go (you only kicked me)

faster than I did, and for it I

only fell faster off 

the edge, and into the stormy waves

in the silence of the night

as clear as the day you left.

Symbolic Act: The Glasses

The symbolic act that I would have extended is when Billy had his glasses knocked off before/after (I forgot) the dance for the song “You’re a loser” . This scene was sort of a symbolic foreshadowing of the future events of the musical and it could have been extended to mean a lot more (Not that it needed to be extended, the musical was actually pretty damn good and good job to the cast and crew for all your hard work and practice!). The scene was meant to symbolize how Billy was temporarily spurred into forgetting his previous values and beliefs for the opportunity to be considered “cool”, the cool kids that are teasing and pushing him around are those who actually end up as zombies in the ends and their bullying is making Billy want to ditch his life as a “loser”. In the end Billy is faced with the similar decision to join Biff, Zero and the mindless drones to become a slave to Biff who is a symbol of the classic definition of cool and all the stereotypes behind it (EG The leather jacket, the hair, the walk and all that good stuff) and chooses to opt out of the societal definition of cool and stick to his own. The thing I would have added to this scene is a sense of conformity and “oneness” between all the dudes that bully Billy and that more be done with the symbol of the glasses. Like, for example, they could have had Billy’s glasses stolen by someone in the mob and then the glasses would end up in the hands of Zero somehow through one of his goons as retaliation for the spray painted insult that Zero is hunting Billy down for. Then Billy would start to struggle without his glasses to the point of frustration and when Biff comes to life, he would adopt a new pair of sunglasses when he received his makeover from Biff. But in the end when it all climaxes Tina comes out with a fixed pair of glasses for Billy when he finally joins Tina’s side.

Evocative Line :Lover's Discourse Poetry Slam "What I Love About You / Plastic Barbie Doll" - Kassy Horan

The line I chose as evocative is the line "I can be a plastic barbie doll" ( Yes I now someone already did this line). This line to me defines the modern idea of love for some people. People of the younger generations don's seem to grasp the concept of love and instead turn it into something social, plastic and synthetic. The idea of love begins to transcend into public serenades, gifts, and Facebook status updates. This has occured as the popular culture has begun to take over the trends and fads and all that good stuff to turn love into a joke. Love should be personal and intimate not publicly holding hands walking circles through the hallways repeatedly. The whole idea of Valentines seems artificial to me as well, in a relationship, you should know the person well enough to not have to get the usual bouquet of roses and a dinner and instead give them tokens of appreciation or something that you shared together, after all Valentines is about relationships not about 2 people and the things they spend money on.

Adorable: Add-on to Thomas's Tumble

Original:

"The resonating of her laughter in my ears is adorable"

Addition:

The resonating of her laughter in my ears is adorable as it travels through my blood warming my every cell and forever echoing in the 4 chambers of my heart.

[the-arvember]

Adorable

Adorable is the look of pure unfiltered joy and laughter she goes through in a moment of personal connection and conversation.

Adorable is also the gleam of excitement in a junior high students eyes when they talk about growing up in high school. So wrong....so foolish....

Death of a Salesman: Blocking in Act 1

The scene I'd like to talk about in Act 1 is when Linda an Willy are in their room talking. At this time Willy is talking about Biff and how much he is making. As he talks he stands up and looks out the window and Linda is sitting the whole time just listening. This symbolizes that Willy is talking nonsense and in his dream state that he contantly falls into and he cannot escape reality so to compensate he looks out the window instead of at Linda. He doesnt want to see her face and be reminded of the truth so he looks out to the small block of apartments and barren land that once held his memories of football and children and goals that seemed real. This also is a sign that he refuses to believe that his belief in the American dream and what it entitles is something he and Biff cannot achieve. At the same time, Linda calmly sits down as oppose to someone like Biff who would confront him. She knows that he is lost to the American Dream but still has a good heart and deserves to be heard and fantasized with. She cannot stop feeding his dream of his life because she knows he means well. So she takes a seat to him and lets him have his time on top of the world.

The Bachelor French Pose and Top 3

Effronté- Unashamed

This is the pose I chose for my choice. You know my POV on the show and that does affect my choice. This is in response to the girl who came back after being thrown out like a dog. To be on the show, you need to first be prepared to lose of self consciousness ( not a good thing in this case) and be prepared to adopt a constant social behaviour that is similar to that which can be seen commonly in the "club" scene. This social behaviour entitles you to act in any way, shape or form with one goal which is to take someone or thing home with you. For a proper textbook demonstration watch any episode of "Jersey Shore". The show turns this club scene into something completely different when they take out all the other boys in the picture leaving the girls to publicly display their tactics to take this man home this time under the guise of wanting a full-blown relationship instead of a one-night stand. This situation calls for the contestant to throw away all their social values brought by their parents and just go for the meat like vultures.

My top 3 are :

1) Britt

2) Jade

3) Kelsey

[the-arvember]

This is the song I would choose for "Death of a Salesman". The songs lyrics as well as its tones and the ups and downs of the music seem to fit the end of the play well. The song starts of slowly and his voice is always quite, somber and the song starts slowly. The lyrics talk of being alone in a world that you have become accustom to already and how you have only a few more years to go. It talks about being strong and someone who was loved at one point or another. Then, it comes in with a louder and harder sounding part where a major event occurs with the lyrics "Suddenly I'm Hit!" and then ya.

The Stupidity of the Modern Lover: The Bachelor

Ok. Firstly I'd like to establish my perspective on  the show "The Bachelor(ette)". The whole concept of the show is incredibly stupid, demeaning and vomit-inducing. Just the thought of having a set of girls/guys line up to fall in love with a man/woman they have never personally met or talked to, basing their seemingly obsessive and bloodthirsty need to find love off of a TV appearance and as much online research as they could scratch off of the face of the earth, makes me sick and worried about the generations of Romeo's and Juliet's to come. The 30 girls chosen are faced with the stark task of introducing themselves as they step out of the limo, that had taken an hour to arrive so the TV Networks could milk solid gold out of the cash cow that is the teenage heart as much as possible, the women giggle with glee as the limo pulled up to what would be their soon-to-be spouse. What sort off mail-order-bride system is this in which the women give their consent to their own demise and even offer to compete for the love of the man who paid for them to be snatched up like a piece of meat. The girls themselves were all fracking insane themselves, embarrassing themselves on live television, showing exactly how desperate they really are to find someone they could forever take pictures with and pretend they have a happy life with. I could go on but...who am I kidding I probably will, right after I figure out what exactly this assignment was about again!

       Ok, so the reason I think Britt received the First Impression Rose or whatever piece of s*** (excuse my french, I am extremely fluent tho) thing the makers of this show tried to use to dress up the corpse that is this show, is probably that she didn't come out with her heart on a plate (or in this case a cooler) or get completely drunk in order for her to carry through with the worst decision to take part in this show or come out twice in order to make sure the guy sees "all of her sides". She did however just plainly come out of the limo, give a nice long hug and introduce herself like a girl should instead of just dive at every man that has even the slightest iota of a muscle like girls tend to do. She then had a casual talk with a man she had an attraction towards and did not try to sell herself as a "Country girl" or literally scream out "I am normal" like I heard one girl scream out as she exited the limo. The girl I liked least was the girl who came out of the limo TWICE so she could showcase her apparent country side and then her side that was a lot less country. This made me cry inside and it took a piece of my soul  along with it as the tears circled the drain and whirpool-ed in.  How desperate could you be to just keep coming out of that door and just try to spill your soul into his eyes in a first meeting. JUST STOP pls.

To finish I would like to apologize to Mr.Tulner for this. This show clearly made me mad. If anyone was offended by this............neat. ;)

Game Pieces: Claiming/ Warning *Please read all of this or suffer the consequences

Ok guys this is me claiming these 4 Batman characters and styles of toys for my groups gamepieces! Also, Mr.Tulner has asked that all other groups after my group should not buy/acquire their game pieces yet until he says we are allowed to. After this point, any game pieces that are bought and brought in to be claimed by any group shall not be considered yet. No Excuses! Sorry I'm trying to be as clear as possible here.

Try to reblog this/ spread it around so that no one has an excuse of not seeing it! Thanks! 

[the-arvember]

This is the song that I would choose as a ringtone for Mr.Tulner. The reason behind it is that for some reason I can see a young, tall, lanky Mr.T in this song. I see him in some odd 80's (Consider that flattering Mr.T) night club doing whatever "Scatter Dancing" is, which in my mind looks something like a mix of hopping up and down and swinging of arms and legs to the rhythm of some odd "Rockabilly" song.  Also it happens to mention the Montagues and Capulets. That is all.

P.S: I just realized the cover of the Album is a dude smoking.... something. Sorry Mr.T! What happens in Amsterdam, stays in Amsterdam!

[the-arvember]

This song is the song that I would choose to use for "Great Expectations". First off, the genre of the song is obscure but it is something that I have recently discovered(Psychedelic Rock). This band is just amazing, after discovering just one song, I was immediately hooked. You need to just open Youtube and dive into their music head first. Their lyrics are sometimes few and repetitive but they have music about so many obscure topics that seem to relate to me more often than not. So back to the actual assignment. I would fit this song somewhere around the time when Pip is trying so hard to get Estella when they are all grown up. This song follows the story of a desperately love-broken boy who is in pursuit of a girl that hardly realizes his existence. This scenario is not foreign to me and I'm sure many other men/boys who have gone through this. This is sort of a topic that is taken up in the poem by those 3 dudes on the desk. Emphasis on the "sort of". So the main line that sticks out to me is "She remembers my name!" this is because it emphasizes the notion that a boy will start to latch onto anything and take it as a sign that the girl is interested or they will consider it a big deal in their "progress" of love. Try to listen to the song atleast once completely through.

A Kiss ...is A Night in Las Vegas

The feeling of pure stress lifted off your chest as you leave your world and enter the world of Nothingness and think of all the things you could do. When your mind draws a blank....and it feels good. You cruise around the only vacation destination in the world that has no destinations, in a world where not only does the city never sleep but sleep doesn't exist, and it doesn't matter. Nothing really matters. People are working, in stores, clubs, bars but no one is really working. You walk down the sidewalk pushing through crowds with your hand in hers, and no one else exists. You go down to the ferris wheel on the pier, as you stop at the top, you realize the meaning of love. No concept of time,mind or body just you and the one you love. There is no feelings of remorse for what you do or say, only truth spill from your lips, that is, after all the effect of intoxication. You can never see her the same way, the way she smiles, the things she says, everything! Whenever you need to remember that night, all it takes is a peck on the lips and you die all over again, floating on Cloud 9 all the way to heaven. What a night!
