What makes me come alive?

What makes me come alive? Well paintball is what makes me come alive, it's the rush of paintball for the few short minutes. In the few short minutes nothing else in the world matters, does not matter if you just got a ticket, your girlfriend just broke up with you, you failed a test, or that you just got in a fight. It's the only time my mind is clear and I have no limit to what I can do. A fire builds up inside of me and then when I hear the bell go off I can let it out and just be me, there is no trying to be anyone else it's just me. I feel the most comfort in the world. That is what makes me come alive.

Creon Voki

We chose the devil because he represents creon and is a tyrant, he has no respect for anyone and he gets angry when ever he thinks someone disrespects him or does not respect his laws and does not like his ideas. Creon is a angry person, his emotions control him, and he disrespects all women. Creon's point of view is that no one is as good as he is and that he is a lot better than everyone, also he thinks that everyone likes him but antigone, but really no one likes him.

Five People

I do think that Rohn is correct, because if you think of all the people you hang around and how they act, most of the time your friends are going to act like you and talk like you. I think the main five people I hang out with are Brandon Jones, Daniel Oakley, Jack Wallace, Brice Snow, and Brandon Combs. I think I have accepted a few parts from them because I feel the most comfort when i'm around them, making me act more like my real self. I don't think that it bothers me because if you are not going to be yourself anyways then why bother acting like somebody that you are not just to fit in! I feel that it does make me a better person, more of the person that I was supposed to be. I would say yes, I completely think that the statement "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." is correct!

What I would change

Honestly I don’t think that I would change anything in my life. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that this is how my life is supposed to turn out, but if I was going to change one thing I think that I would change is what I did in the first grade. I did something bad; I don’t really know what it was that I had done; but somehow I got a red light. I knew that I would get a whooping if I came home with a red light, so I came home went straight to my sister’s room and got her markers and for some reason I thought that black would be a good color to make the red go away; not thinking about when the teacher saw it, so when my mom got home she had asked for my progress report for the day and I handed her the card with the black light on it and she looked at it and said “What does a black mean? What did you do to get a black light?” I just looked at her and thought about it long and hard and finally said “I don’t know what I did to get a black light.” She just continued to look at the card and then finally just signed the card and put a note at the bottom of the card saying “How did David get a black light and what does that mean?” I don’t remember what happened after that but all I know is that to this day I have not told my mom or dad that I was the one that made the black light!

The Hunter

The mask was hot and slipped slightly on his head.  This equipment had not been made for him.  He had to move.  Staying still was a bad idea.  Instinctively He moved to the next place of cover along the east side.    He was just over six feet tall and he had tucked his brown hair into his helmet as much as he could.

He kept his gun close to his chest and listened.  I got one!  Move left!  Move up!  Cover me!  He felt invisible almost excited as slight movement in an abandoned van caught his eye.   He turned slightly and looked down the barrel of his gun and executed two precise shots through the van window: one to each eye.   He ran again.  

Some old oil drums concealed his body from his pursuers.   Two shots to the head!  Move to the right!  Watch that side!  They were better trained than him.  They had years of hunting, stalking, and winning.  There was no time to be afraid. He got down on his stomach and peeked out from his hiding place.  

Then he saw the flaw.  He had been forgotten.   There they were: the last two enemies.  They were laying down fire at his friend.  This was his moment!  He ran noiselessly and pointed the gun at the first man his body was painted with splotches of green.  Then he rounded the barrier and pointed at their leader.   “Freeze, dirt bag!”  It was all he could think of to say.  He collapsed and threw up his hands and with tearful laughter, he conceded, “I surrender.” The rest walked on to the field.  A young blonde man reached down his hand to the man on the ground and said, “Sorry Gunny, my best friend is awesome!”  He took off his helmet and said, “three out of five guys! I like this game!”  As the sun went down on a great day, he smiled and thought, “I am a beast; I can play paintball with Marines.”

The Show Goes On

The Show Goes On

I think the Song is trying to tell you to be yourself, to get your dreams high and remember where you came from. Meaning it does not matter if you are broke growing up or very well off you can do amazing things when you put your mind to it. Also that you don’t have to get people to like you by changing yourself, others should like you for you and not for whom you are not but by who you really are. I think that the artist composed this song to show that he made it big and he grew up most likely very poor or with not a lot to look forward to. You can have a bad childhood and still do great things in your life.
