I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.

The longest title for the longest sonnet I will probably ever write in my life.

I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.
Cj Williams

Shall we catch a movie of outrageous proportions?

Where characters blind us with their looks and pecs.

Explosions and sex is what we humans eat up.

So forget the art in movies and show me machine guns that are bigger than my hips.

Maybe we can skip the movie and move onto a house party?

Where people of multiple classes meet to go on a hallucinogenic journey.

Where we don't care who we meet but what we eat.

Where the drink can matter less, we want to be gone so we don't remember.

We want to wake up in the morning next to a stranger who we don't know but fell in love with.

Skip the party and head to a Mcdonalds.

The cheapest food for the cheapest bridals.

Shall I impress you or take the easy way out.

Maybe I'll consult my friends who've never left me alone without a doubt.

But my friends are disappearing, where have they gone?

Am I too blind to see that I'm all alone?

What is this curse that you've put on me?

When you leave then who will I be?

Will I be depressed and no longer have a life?

No. I refuse please bring me up to speed I have a long life that I need to see.

I will not linger and I will not pout, this is my life along with many others.

Let me see me in a moment of heat, under the sun where the grass touches my feet.

I am not Shakespeare, I am not Aristotle.

I am the simplest of all forms, I am me.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
