Lost in American Horror

I have been excited to see the new FX show American Horror for a good month.  It premiered Wednesday, and the wait was certainly well worth it.  Although I cannot imagine this series going for many seasons, it is going to be an amazing experience watching it try.


American Horror has all the aspects of a great horror movie, but it is broken up into episodes.  I found myself asking, "What the hell is going on?", more than once.  I have not been this confused since Lost.  This show is not quite on the Lost par, but it might be in the running.  Who is dead?  Is anything that happens really happening?  All my readers who are Lost fans know these questions well.

Basically, I am saying everyone should check this show out.  Although it could end up being a huge disappointment, I stuck all the way through Lost (and that was the worst series finale I have ever seen), so I am willing to give this series a chance.  Fingers crossed that there will be no dissatisfaction in doing so....

NUMB

This is a creative non-fiction piece I am turning in for class and I promised some creative writing to be posted soon, so I thought I'd start with this one... She felt sick. It was third period and she asked to be excused to use the bathroom. 11:00 am... In the bathroom, she throws up, yet it did not make her feel better. Thank goodness it was a half day of school. Once she walked to the elementary school to pick her sister up, she could finally go home and rest…something  didn't  feel right though. What was this feeling?

Worth It?

     Driving home from MI tonight, I became inspired by Taylor Swift's lyrics from her record Folklore . I haven't been inspired to write much in years. I wrote a Haiku yesterday in three minutes and it felt great. Poetry usually isn't my thing, but some of my creative writing students asked if I'd be their advisor for Poetry Club and I am delighted that I agreed! For the first time in nearly six years, I'm writing. Anyway, here is an erasure poem of the song "This is Me Trying" by Taylor Swift.     Worth It? I've been having a hard time adjusting  I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting  I didn't know if you'd care if I came back  I have a lot of regrets about that   Pulled the car off the road to the lookout   Could've followed my fears all the way down  And maybe I don't quite know what to say  But I'm here in your doorway  I just wanted you to know   That this is me trying  I just...

Why I like my Friends...and Other Stuff

This fourth of July I spent with some great friends. Why are they so great you ask? This mix of people is politically and religious just that; a mix. It is actually amazing that we can all hang out and have such different opinions on things. Gun laws, God, etc. Some of us agree on some things and others on other things, but there is always someone with the opposition. Perhaps that is why it is so fun. Ok, anyway, back to my point...
