"Where art thou Romeo"

    From the moment that  i heard the story "Romeo and Juliet" i thought;"What a weird story." first off i was very confused when i started to read in my 11th grade class but i made it by. Then over the 2011 summer i decided to read it online. I felt i needed to refresh my memory.
     The main characters are obviously Romeo and Juliet. One is a Montegue and the other a Capulet. Both families dislike each other greatly and if given the chance, they would take the other out.
     Many people already know the general plot of the story. The problem with that is we think we don't need to read the story. So now you don't actually know what goes on in the story. So there are kids from the two house holds that fall in love but they're not supposed to. Its basically a romantic drama.
     To my absolute delight i hated the book even more than before. The first time i read it i didn't like it a whole lot. It drove me nuts trying to wrap my head around the fact that they would do such dumb things. It reminds me of another book Shakespeare wrote, Othello, which i also hated. Its also the type of book where the events aren't right in front of you. You need to think in the time period. But wait, if you're the type of person that love his books then by all means this is the book for you. Be WARNED. It ruined my persona of the Romeo and Juliet story.

Kids Gone Wild

     "Hoe, your in the band!" "Why yes little monsters," which is all i could think of when he asked me that. But all i really did was nod and say yes. Many may already know that i'm in the band here at Kahuku High School. Whenever the band heads out to the stands, it's a struggle because you're attacked by little kids that constantly try to hit the percussion instruments. Well, anyways, they stare at us as if we dont see them playing the drum, let alone hear it. I ask them in my most polite manner to stop " hittin der drumm!," but that never works.
     Now imagine if they had just a weebit of control when i tell them to stop. Then they'd be controlled proper kids- at least close to that. Parents should disipline their children so that they'll follow what is asked of them.
     Also another thing that these kids love to do is hang out underneath the Kahuku bleachers. During the past years i've noticed that they've been doing more and more things without parental supervision. If someone were to get hurt then it would likely be the schools fault. And yet they're not supposed to be there.
     For me it just doesnt make sense why parents are so "invested" into the game, that they put their children in second place.

Beetle Dung

 
  I chose this title simply because i thought it was funny and random. Its also something that i would find interesting and that i would want to look at. Its not neccessarily a thing that relates to me, its just a name that popped into my head plain and simple.
