Semester Over for the Fall of 2012

Well had my last final yesterday for my English 250 class which is about MYTHOLOGY. Have to say that was a fun class really enjoyed reading the material Susan Suntree had given us. The one book we had to read for the class was GILGAMESH that book was a joy to read, it is a book everyone should read. Another book that was part of our class but not the whole book was THE MYTH OF THE GODDESS now that book just loved reading it. I am planning on finishing the book because I want to know more about these GODDESSES from these myths that we read. A lot of interesting stuff coming from this book.
Yesterday was of course our final, which was to present our project, what we did our paper on. I did mine on whale characters in myths from Indian tribes and in literature as well as in the movies, it was fun to find how these whales are portrayed basically everywhere. Wasn't really prepared I had a book to show but speaking about my project well what I wanted to say did not come out the way I had hoped it would. Besides that the ones that presented what they did was really interesting to hear what they found out.
Going to miss this class it was fun to come to for two days a week.

GILGAMESH by Stephen Mitchell

Read this book for class Gilgamesh what a great read this was. Did not really expect to enjoy reading this but have to say that I'm in love with this book. Set like a poem to be read and a pretty fast read at that.
Gilgamesh a man who believes he can have everything he wants, especially with the women, the people of the village do not like this one bit and ask the GODS to send some help to stop him, send someone they do, his equal. Enkidu turns out to be his equal, his best friend, and his brother.

Together they are unstoppable they take care of things that need to be taking care of and when they take care of a situation they upset the GODS and that was something they should not have done.  So they take something very dear to Gilgamesh and now he is at a loss, a loss that sends him searching for answers. HOW DOES ONE DEAL WITH DEATH? This is what Gilgamesh is on a search for. 
What do you think of Gilgamesh?

Halloween

HALLOWEEN, man can remember when this day used to be fun, couldn't wait to go trick or treating, but now I love passing out the candy to the little one's. But these past couple of years have not seen that many costumes on these kids. A couple of years ago I had a bunch of kids that I seen with cool costumes, but last night I had more high school kids then I did little ones, not that I mind having these high school kids but love seeing what the little one's are wearing. 
Taking my niece out last night to go get candy did not really see that many homes passing out the candy, we probably went to maybe seven homes while she was with me. Then where her mom and boyfriend came and took over I went home to pass out candy, because I love passing out these things. We didn't get a lot of kids around seven-thirty was when we got more trick o treat kids to the house.
Why can't people celebrate this holiday anymore?

Been Awhile

So it has been a while since I have been on here, well not a while but a couple of years since I was on here, been busy with other pages. But since I am here now, I will try and post some stuff at least once a week if I can. A lot has been going on since I last posted, just have to say that I am happy in the direction of life I am heading towards and look forward to  a bigger life, a happier life, a life of change.
