Lebron James

Bar Napkin Sonnet by Moira Egan

Bar Napkin Sonnet #11

BY MOIRA EGAN

Things happen when you drink too much mescal.

One night, with not enough food in my belly,

he kept on buying.   I’m a girl who’ll fall

damn near in love with gratitude and, well, he

was hot and generous and so the least

that I could do was let him kiss me, hard

and soft and any way you want it, beast

and beauty, lime and salt—sweet Bacchus’ pards—

and when his friend showed up I felt so warm

and generous I let him kiss me too.

His buddy asked me if it was the worm

inside that makes me do the things I do.

I wasn’t sure which worm he meant, the one

I ate?   The one that eats at me alone?

I like this poem because it is very unique poem. What makes it so unique is that its uses humor to express the way they love this person. Also I have a great sense of humor so I could really relate to it. The poem is also so well described, I almost feel like I'm at the same bar as they are talking about.

How do people live up to their dreams?

People live up to their dreams by staying focus on their dream. By staying focus I mean they don't let anything get in their way of achieving their dream. Along the way of living up to there dreams something may distract them but you have to be strong minded enough to stay focus. Also to live up to your dreams you have to be dedicated to whatever your dream may be. To stay dedicated goes "hand and hand" with being focus. When you are dedicated to something you have to have a tremendous amount of focus. People usually don't live up to their dreams because they lose track of what their dream is along the way of achieving their dream. They tend to have a little trouble in trying to complete their and they give up because they are not determined enough to live up to their dream. I think the most common reason why people don't live up to their dream is because they are not willing to put the work in to achieve that dream. Which in some cases is sad because they give up when they were so close to achieving their dream. If you have a dream that you are passionate about then you should try to do everything in your power to try and accomplish that dream. And you shouldn't give up till you have lived up to your dream. Because you never know if you could have lived up to your dream until you try.

Lebron Blog Reflection

I found a incredible blog about Lebrons 2012 playoff run and his other accomplishments written by Tom Ziller. The layout of the blog is genius. After he write about a certain game or moment in the game he includes a video or photo of the moment or highlights of the game. I also like how the writer added how Lebron James failed in the NBA finals the year before. That made the things he accomplished seem just as greater now. The writer also includes a little humor to the blog. He has video of Lebron dancing after he won the Gold medal and he also has a video of Lebron dancing before his game against the New York. Overall I love this blog because I'm a huge fan of Lebron and I admire the way he played during the playoffs and finals this year after playing not so well in the last finals against the Dallas Mavericks. I also play basketball and its just cool to see that other people share the same thoughts about how great Lebron James.

Blog Reflection

As I reflect on my previous blogs since August, I realized that i have became a much better writer than when I first started writing blog post. My favorite part about some blog post is posting a picture with my writing. The picture helps me express what I have to say easier. I think my best blog was the mash up of Othello lines and a Wiz Khalifa song. It was fun to use a song that I love while also learning about Othello. I think my weakest area in the beginning was the length of some of the blogs. I had the tendency  to only write only a couple of sentences. But over the months my blog post began to become a little more lengthy. I want to try to get more views on my blogs as well because the material is so well written I think it should be seen.

Holiday Times

The holidays are a great time because that is when my brother comes
 down from college. My family are big sports fans. So during the holidays I usually have basketball tournaments and there are a lot of great NBA games on television. My family come to my games to watch me play and then we go home and thats when the fun starts. My mom and sister comes home and cook A big dinner and we all just sit around and watch NBA games. Also we all get together and fix up the christmas tree. We sometimes go to one of my family members house to eat dinner on christmas eve. After we eat dinner we go home and watch movies till its time to open gifts.
