A Forced Revolution

A Forced Revolution  By: Carmen Cooper The burning of all but easy difficult of making graces with you, I barely know I am indecisive, I use to know what it fell like to fall, I cannot remember I'm lost in the translation of my words, I don't understand either If I had courage I could stand up and quietly, redeem myself from holding you back But at last I cannot make it go away Forget all that was said, I fail to understand I care, I told you last night you can I do not deny, I know you are lost But I found you I will not say sorry You want it, you are the owner of your emotional breakdowns Hurt holds you by the shoulders but push it away It isn't real, just a nightmare So wake up, you are not dead yet; open the coffin and walk out from the shadows Let the light beckon you You fight it but it is forbidden No more No more No more You plead, so shut up Don't stand there Fight Fight Fight And cast it away ...

Caring Hurts

Caring Hurts By: Carmen Cooper Caring hurts. Love is a heartbreak. A heartbreak is love.   Truth is a liar. Doubt is having faith. Fear is being brave. Courage is being a coward. Lying is hearing the truth. Death is life. Life is dying. Quitting means to keep going. Go on means to stop. Losing is winning. Winning is when all is lost. Love is a heartbreak. Truth is a liar. A heartbreak is love. Caring hurts.
Part Four of A Gift From Venus Who is there? I trip over a sock as I enter my bedroom. There is nothing like the smell of dirty socks as you come home from school. I pull off my pants and slide into my computer chair immediately. I can hear the sounds of Korean Drama ringing in my ears but I can watch anything I hear my cell phone ring some two seven four number appearing on my caller ID. I was told not to pick up for numbers I didn't know but I was curious so I did it anyways. "Hello." My voice echoed through the phone so loud I thought I had scared the person off. "Hi." A male voice shot back at me. "Who is this?" I asked politely. "Who is this?" He asked me back in sort of a mocking tone. "I asked you first." I crossed my arms. "Well I asked you second." He laughed. What I said to myself. That makes no sense. "Look," I began but then I stopped because I needed to come up with something good I was not goo...
Episode Four Aelric appeared before his very eyes. He bowed and then smiled a mischievous grin."Hello old friend, you didn't think I would let you go about this journey by yourself." Rowland stood up and hugged his dear friend, then slipped his dagger back into his holster . "How are you?" Aelric scanned Rowland looking at his red dreary eyes. "How are you? Looks like you had some trouble before I got here." Rowland nodded. "I am fine. Thanks." Aelric patted  Rowland on the back. Still looking at him with a little concern but decided to leave the subject untouched because he figured it was about her. Only she could make him cry. Rowland squeezed Aelric's shoulder firmly and pulled him in for a hug. "Oh what took you? I thought you were only going to be in London for two days?" Aelric stood back then thought about it. "Well, I ran into some members of the  A ntiquarian. So I left and went to Vienna." Roland's ey...

Episode Three Rowland hopped down from the crates that lead him into an abandoned apartment complex. He snickered thinking about Pablo and Elion, what they had just told him. Such fools like he would believe them. The A ntiquarian was getting smarter. So then he had to be smarter. He had to outsmart them. He walked farther into the complex away from the window and looked around. There was dust and pieces of a broken chandelier covering the floor. Little antiques lay spread out with missing pieces. He sat down on a broken sofa with a missing leg, trying to catch his breath. This whole time he had been running from the  antiquarian, he just wanted to find Aritetta and go back to his time. Rowland sunk low into the sofa letting himself relax and drop some of his guards. He sighed, opening his pocket watch. It held a picture of Arietta and him together. The only picture they had taken together before she died. He had to get back to her house before it happened...
Part three of A Gift From Venus Going Home I slid back in front of my computer. My goal was to finish my introduction to my essay before lunch. I plugged in my headphones and turned on Youtube, trying to tune out the loud irrelevant thoughts in my head, but unfortunately the music from my favourite songs was in favour of dis tracting me instead of helping me focus. Soon the bell rang and lunch was in session, I sighed and logged off my computer. Okay, so when I get home, my goal is to finish my introduction to my essay. I got off the bus with my friend Brady, the ice on the sidewalk was shining from the light in the sky or the sun making an effort to peep out from behind the clouds. I jumped on top of a sheet of ice and slid down the sidewalk. Brady, was behind me, my best friend who I had adopted as my brother, we automatically connected and became friends after one conversation. Brady was a splitting image of me only younger and a boy. We would laugh together and stop...

*Beautiful Creatures Review*                                                    This movie surprised me. Maybe because I didn't read the book, okay that might be a factor in it.. but  when the main character, Ethan, began talking I was taken aback that he was country. Trying no to spoil anything: it's an intriguing and very cute romance involving a girl, whose name is Lena. She moves to the small country town where Ethan is staying and then mysterious magical events begin taking place. So far she is convinced that there is no one there for her until she meets Ethan. He then lets her know that nothing can come between them not even Sarafine, Lena's evil mother. They band together to stop Sarafine and keep their love, only to keep Lena from going dark but she has no faith and must constantly be reminded of who she is. A sacrifice of her loved one pay...

I remembered seeing this movie in Family Video about two years ago. Every time I went back to the video store I got distracted and there was something else that sparked my interest. So I always procrastinated on watching it but then when I discovered YouTube had it i immediately turned it on! At the end, and I apologize for starting this off like three sentences off: at the end, you like what the hell, but the movie has been out for a while. I mean c'mon Lindsey Lohan guys? But anyways, at the end, it made take a recap to Parent Trap you know that other Lindsey Lohan movie where she has a "twin" and I was just like "I thought she was bipolar or had a personality disorder or something. (clearly, because I can't spell schizophranic) but anyways, the whole movie I thought I was watching was not. I thought she somehow morphed into another being and she was her but she wasn't; and everyone around her was confused! Not the other way around. You feel me? Seeing ...
Part 3 of The Sun Seeker He was going to steal the sun back; the reason why he was born to The Shadow People in the Dark Lands. Inside of him fear swam deep and and threatened him. He didn't know where to start. How was he supposed to be the hero and savior of the village, he sat at the table and swallowed all the worries and doubt along with some mashed potatoes. The fact was what that he might turn out as a failure. The fact which was exactly what? The elders said the prophecy pointed to him. In all, he was preparing himself mentally for the war that was in the process. As a twelve year old boy he was still having difficulty picking up exactly what was going on. He wondered why the war had started and why if it was the war the elders had predicted, why twelve years later. Although, he had been hidden The Outsiders knew of his existence he had not really been a secret after all so why take away the sun now?

So I, Cleo made this Frozen art note for Art History class and I thought I would share it with you because Frozen is an awesome movie!!!! And Olaf Rocks!!! To the snow people!!!  Frozen Romance One day me and my friend Emma was talking on the phone about this new cartoon that had just came out called Frozen. She had been screaming her little head off about the lady from Wicked and how she sung this one song for a character in the movie. She would not stop playing me songs from the movie and all I could do was nod, smile and laugh at her. I finally had to break the news to her that I haven’t seen it yet. Her disappointed sigh was easily brought back to excitement when I mentioned that I would try.   The next day my aunt came over and brought my cousins with her. I thought that was really cool and exciting because I finally had something to do. Over the weekend I was extremely lazy and had been doing nothing but sleep, dance, liste n to m...
Part Two of A Gift from Venus   Friday I looked over at my friend Erica. A sly smile spread across my face. She looked back at me. “What?” I tapped my fingers on the computer desk, “Oh nothing, no big news.” She turned back to her computer and shrugged her shoulders. “Okay.” I slid over closer to her and rested my head on her shoulder. “Yes?” She replied. “Oh well, since you’re on edge, I went shopping yesterday!” I exclaimed. I sat my foot up on the table and showed her my shiny new converse. "Those are nice" She said. "But aren't your feet cold?" I thought about it and nodded. "Yes but I like them and I had to wear them just for you." She shook her head. "Yeah, right." I laughed. "It is true! You know you like these!"
Part 2 of the Sun Seeker Lyric follows his mother around, trying to make her laugh but her biggest reaction is her eyes get wide then they return to their natural sad state. She has been moping around with blank stares on her face all day. His father was drafted to join the army, Lyric looks down and plays along like he is making her feel better, but once he thinks about his father he understands how she must truly be feeling. They arrive at their cabin and he stands on the steps, looking into the murky swamp water. His reflection is there for a second until a crocodile pops its head through. Lyric smiles and throws it a piece of meat that they keep on the veranda in a jar. It was common to feed the crocodiles in the Dark Lands, those were some of the only animals that the people had. You had to take care of your home. A lot of the people there took them in as pets. This one in particular he had not seen around, claimed by anyone in the village. He scanned him for some form o...

The Sun Seeker In this swamp, there lies the heartbroken. It beholds all of the zombied bodies that have fallen for what they couldn’t have. The people here rely on the little light that they can see through the sun, regardless if it doesn’t rise. This swamp has no life because the broken hearted, are not living themselves but yet there is hope when a boy is born and is given a cheerful name, the village is put at a somewhat ease. The rally against The Outside has begun, meanwhile the boy who must be kept hidden is discovering his true calling. A boy named Lyric was raised amongst these sad people. He has grown to be strong, a rare strength he has been prompting himself to have. With everyone in his village raving in hysteria because of the war he spends his time preparing to fight in the war.  The sun has not come up in thirty days and some of the elders are preaching that it is The Outsiders controlling the light. It is his duty to be the sunshine and bring joy to his peop...

WORD OF THE DAY:  OPT Definition:  to   make   a   choice;   choose
Song Lyrics: This is just something I thought of.. I was sitting around and came up with a song..  Seeing You Again By: Carmen Cooper There's a tide coming in... trying to drown me before I can even swim I'm getting my hopes up just like you said I would praying to gods I don't think exist Chorus But I would cross the universe Steal the stars and still make this work Get down on my knees and swear nothing is happening Jump off the highest point  Close my eyes and ask for one more kiss Break all the rules and light the darkness with what we have Because I'm no fool, you know I look forward to seeing you, seeing you again Okay I will play along Like we don't matter Let's lock this all away and come to ground Because the world is moving and we can't keep up The distance is too far to travel Chorus But I would cross the universe Steal the stars and still make this work Get down on my knees and swear noth...

A poem sculpture! This sculpture has my poem "The Play" written on it. I wrote in pen to give it some kind of the writing on the wall theme. Then I found a lot of random items around the house to symbolize a word or phrase or the whole poem in general.
The Play By: Carmen Cooper The darkroom where I am currently meditating  Provided for thinking, summarizing time Transparent is the box, of you Currently under construction Previously the stage has been difficult to conquer The accepting world does not see you I, however; maintain strategies A future queen, whether you see me My ultra violet light, grabs attention Unless you continue on Predicting such direct actions will not angle a work of art into me I don't want a part in this play For me to conquer the world as I am This warrior must make her own images

my stomach just growls in distraught.. I can't live without that piece!!! Why are people so selfish!
E pisode Two Groups of people were all around. The sun made it hard for Rowland to distinguish the different features on faces. Shadows of people moving back and forth. He searched the crowd for familiar faces, particularity Arietta's but hopefully Aelric was going to meet up with him. He had met him in Italy, 1705 and he was the only friend he had made with the same time traveling power. (Besides the antiquarian)  It was a relief to learn some self control especially when all the time you keep disappearing into new worlds. It would be nice to hang around for a couple years and enjoy the view but that probably wouldn't be possible at the moment. Two tall men walked toward him. Their dark expressions froze his thoughts. It was hard for him to think of other things when all he saw was their cold stares. He looked around cautiously. There apparently was no way to get out of this one right away. He turned and walked slowly down a dark alley,...

It Stared With A Kiss (A Taiwanese Drama) Review  But it didn't start with a kiss... It began when Yuan Xiang Qin tried to hand her love letter over to Jiang Zhi Shu (her prince in shining armor) he didn't accept it he walked on and continued his life as if she wasn't there. In truth it all began as if Xiang Qin was invisible. Zhi Shu was not interested in seeing her, he was focused on his own life, until she moved into his house, only to become closer to him. Meanwhile, A-Jin has a crush on Xiang Qin. He goes out of his way to protect her from herself, Xiang Qin is a really clumsy girl. She falls over everything and when she does fall A-Jin is there for her, but she is too busy to see him because her attention lies elsewhere. The rivalry begins between A-Jin and Zhi Shu but Zhi Shu sees it as no challenge. He is a catch and can do everything: cook, play sports , and even is at the top of his classes. Why would a boy from Class F give him a fight? .    ...

I was first introduced into this band last year. (Falling in Reverse) Now I was very slow about looking them up and listening to their music for whoever knows what reasons, just being lazy, I suppose but then when I finally listened I was amazed by how good they were. They are now one of my fave bands thanks to my friends pushing me to listen to them.  This song "The Drug in me is You" is one of my favourites because it goes into how you hide behind those things you think keep you safe, I guess, in a relationship or even in daily life then you turn around and it all gets you back. So it's like you have to be careful what you say or do even though you might think you are being cautious, sometimes it isn't enough to save you for what you truly have got coming.

"I agree with this" I thought as I scrolled through Google Plus.. but then yesterday I received like two balloons from little cousin. She felt very happy and achieved that she blew them up by herself. (Afty several of them popped.) lol not questioning her abilities but still I accepted them. She is four and a very smart four year old at that. I just wish those balloons and my babysitting gigs weren't covered in slobber...

This video is about how you feel when you are dancing. Like what you might dancing for and what you might being trying to accomplish as you dance. When I listen to this song it makes me think about why I am out there dancing.

Opretta Cosply- Seeing this reminds of the time I first cosplayed: It was Halloween and I was aware of what Cosplay was but I was still new to how experimental you could be with your outfit so I fashioned my outfit from store bought clothes and things I already owned. I was the type of person who didn't want to be to far-fetched but I still wanted it to look like the character I was portraying but I didn't want it to be over the top. So it ended looking something similar to this. Simple but still what the character looks like.
In the Hollows of my Mind By: Carmen Cooper The window of my mind opens to a world of dreams A doorway that I would know to keep shut but I keep opening it As much as I want to understand the happening of now The weight of me can’t be held My unbalance with the outside is not equal I am confused The paths that are made out to be right go left Everything is foreign Nothing makes sense In my mind the shadows don’t stand over me I tower above the lands and present myself The truth is pages don’t turn like that The passage way leads else where Reality bites back in lust You only want your name to be on the entry list The deep puzzles of the labyrinth twist the ending game There are no instructions for how to be The inner circle I force my way Bleeding the lies and paying for them Society strings me like a puppet I follow quietly with one foot dragging The invisible hand I have not yet slapped away Holds me upright The hollow of my ...
