My thoughts have engulfed me into a room full of screams. Some are positive, but most are negative. It’s like I’ve been put in this hole trying to scratch my way out of it looking for the lit up, neon sign that reads ‘Exit’. It’s been about eight years, and at the dark end of what I thought led to nowhere finally showed the red neon sign. I see my future of hope, and along with that came the cold, wet streaks that ran down my face. As I get closer to the exit, I was blinded by red, green, and blue beams of light that someone could easily mistaken for as a UFO. My body started vibrating and music erupted throughout everywhere. ‘There it is,’ I thought, ‘there’s hope.’ This past year I’ve experienced a wildly long series of horrific events. …show more content…
At those moments, at the those horrifying moments, I would cross my foot over the other, spin around, and make my way back to the place I first woke up from. Every time I laid my body into those warm, comforting, fuzzy covers, I traveled to what seemed like a whole other universe. I would plug my ears with the white plastic microphones and would turn on the album that brought me peace; Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots. I have gone on two road trips filled with enjoyment with my sister Brooke to see the two people who understood me most: Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn. They are the two legendary music makers that created the Blurryface album. They ARE the ones that brought hope back into my life and helped me catch a glimpse of my future that was filled with heart throbbing emotions; obviously they are emotions filled with joy, not sadness. As I was looking out the window, I saw the Iwireless Center in Moline, Illinois pass through my vision. My body filled with an emotion that was so incredibly unexplainable. I was stuck outside in the ticket line, but my body didn’t feel cold. I had these hot sensations …show more content…
I know they understand me and the thoughts that slowly inch their way across my mind. The minute I was introduced to the album, my life made a 360 degree turn. This album, that brings a rare feeling to not only me but many others, allows me to escape to a world that doesn’t exist in reality. If it wasn’t for this prized possession of mine, my present life and my future wouldn’t have the hope that I need to get through this crazy life of
Through My Eyes Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow is a book about his life. It started out in the very beginning of his life, right when he was born. He was born in the Philippines in 1987. The reason he was born there was because his family was on a mission trip, but at the same time they were living there, and his mom went into labor. The Tebow’s stayed there for a while longer before they decided to move back to Jacksonville.
I remember him saying ‘Racquet back, turn sideways, step in when you hit the ball’ my dad said, I remembered those three fundamentals forever. Hi there, I'm Christine Marie Evert, most people know me as Chris Evert. When I was a child my 4 siblings helped me become who I am today and that's why I'm such a world wide known professional tennis player. But most of all it was my two parents, Jimmy and Colette, that made me who I am today. My parents also taught me how to raise kids of my own, which I had 3 children in fact. You're probably wondering how old I am, well right now I'm 63. I always loved Christmas and my birthday because I got a lot of presents because they were so close to each other as a matter of fact 13 days apart. I started
The storyline is cute, but the writing needs work-a lot of work. Some of the sentences just did not make sense, punctuation was missing, grammar was lacking and simple misspellings made reading this book cringe worthy.

Peter Singer is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor at Princeton University and the University of Melbourne that studies Bioethics, Philosophy and Public Ethnics. This essay “Visible Man: Ethnics in a World without Secrets” focuses on transparency and personal privacy. One can see after reading this essay, Singer is in favor of openness, but he also notes that the government misuses these technologies. Privacy is defined “as the claim of individuals, groups to determine when, how and to what extent information about them is communicated to others”. Goldman explains surveillance as “a close observation of someone to catch them in wrongdoing” (326). Sousveillance is “recording of an activity from the perspective of everyday lifestyle” (“Sousveillance”). Before 9/11 the government respected individual privacy and acted accordingly by not spying on its citizens to the extent that it does so now. This makes one wonder; do American citizens really have a right to privacy? The answer to this is no. Because events like 9/11 have happened, the government now has the right to invade its citizen’s privacy by, preventing prejudices between authorities and citizens, installing security cameras and reading our social media accounts .
Everything was so new and yet so familiar. Places I have seen and places I have not. A new and funny feeling swam through my body unsure what to think about this feeling. Never felt it before, and I somehow knew it wouldn’t be that last.
It was an early morning. I was taking my normal routine to go to the store. I woke up, got dressed, made myself some breakfast, and headed out. It was a cold morning in Cleveland, but I should’ve expected it, it was December. Ignoring the cold and bitter air, I walked to the bus stop.
A giant navy blue blanket pulls over the sky with shimmering stars sew on as buttons. The boundless sky above held varying hues of vermilion rays striking through the soot covered cotton balls. The rays provided a weird warmth and reassurance that they would come back again. However, with much of the warmth and reassurance, tears ultimately still rolled down my face much like the rain droplets run down the glass panes. The swing moves back and forth to the pace of the tip of my feet, kicking off the bare black mat floor. With each additional creak of the moving swing, the accumulation of tears and snot intensified. A tingling sensation finds itself in my bright ruby nose from the jarring wind.
A time in my life when I faced disappointment was when my dance team didn’t place at our first competition of the year. We had gone to the competition in Sauk Rapids. I’m only on our kick team, not jazz. Our team meets usually about once a week to practice our routine and dance skills. We start in September and go to the end of May. The first half of the year we learn a routine to perform at our competitions throughout the season. Our song for this year is “Something in the Water,” by Carrie Underwood.
For many, if not most people, the town or city in which they grew up in occupies a place in their heart that nothing will ever take the place of. I never truly accepted my hometown for the unbelievable place that it truly is until recently. The change in my outlook did not, however, simply come from nothing, but from the words of a country song I heard on the radio driving home one long weekend from Belmont University. That perception altering song was “May We All” by Florida Georgia Line. Sometimes, a song is simply a melody that takes over your subconscious, causing an endless loop of the same few notes to play in your mind far longer than you ever wanted them to. Other times, a song is a catalyst that opens your mind to forgotten memories,

Everything around me began to blur, including the line between reality and something strange, a place where nothing exists. I could feel myself detaching, but there was nothing I could do to stop it. I was unplugged and could not find the cord to reconnect myself, my thoughts were screaming over one another and it became impossible to single one out. Everything was fake in that moment, my memories, my feelings, my family, my friends, it was all a hoax that I was stuck in, that I had to be released from. Feeling deceived and unhinged, I remained inert and supine in bed. I covered my face, which was daubed with my tears, and listened to my thoughts all telling me the same thing. I sat up and began to wobble towards the stairs. I heard my sister call out, “I’m leaving Emma!”, and my anxiety intensified. Everything blurred into a combination of panic and tears as my sister tried to calm me down. It took hours to bring me back to
I think i found my destination. Sheer magnitude of energy arose from my body. I felt unreal. Seriously. Have you ever stop and question your existence. Who am i and why am i here? Detachment and utter numbness of “reality”. This anomalous out-of-body experience rush must means this is the end me? “ Mike i have to go to the hospital i think i'm dying.” I said panicking at my inner experience. I was an onlooker of this universe - at least it seemed. “ Brenda please relax, youre not dying. and stop crying!” he said as he walked me to his car. “ come on, I am going to take you to my house.” . From this moment i knew this isn't what i wanted to
As mentioned last week, even though Mike Campbell recently turned 90, the long-time New Victoria resident still laces up the blades three times weekly to play gentleman’s league hockey. Campbell, by the way, walks regularly, shovels snow and during the summer, cuts a heck of a lot of grass. To be sure, resting on a hammock with a book in hand and a cool drink by his side “ain’t” for him.
I felt overwhelmed with so many emotions, my heart was beating with every beat of the music. Smoke started to cover the stage and four boys emerged from the fog. I sound crazy saying this, but I do not think I have ever been more overwhelmed in my life. Screams, crying, and singing are all echoing around me as if I am completely still while everything is quickly moving around me. I could taste the cigarette smoke in my mouth from the woman behind me. The concert was filled with so much laughter, singing, and crying. I even made friends with a girl beside me with a green bandana, long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. As the lights faded, the boys left the stage and the stadium became quiet, however all at once, again everyone was talking and crying as they left the packed stadium into the chilly night.
