Shot's Fired!!!

Brah was out, drunk, running around shaking your dreads and I (on the top floor of the Hotel) yell at you to stop "hootin and hollarin'! and go to bed!" You refuse to stop and so go to my drawer and pull out my old 45 revolver and yell, "If you don't stop now then I gonna shoot you!" You yell something at me and take a shot, miss. And another, miss. I go back to bed, too tired to deal wih this "nonsense" while you are ranting at my in your Carribean accent. Thus creating a feud between you and my old white republican self.

My 1st Interaction

I annoy Valori Getz everyday with my boring stories. I bet she's heard them all at leas twice, but I keep on telling her. I see her everyday in the hotel since I live on the top floor.

Bobby Wallace

My charactor's name is Bobby Wallace and he is a 68 year old man who lives with his wife in the rundown Hotel. He was once a professional golfer that is always living in the past. He lost a big golf tournament a long time ago and regrets it everyday. He is really hard to get along with and plays golf at the golf course a long way away. He is really cocky and no one wants to hear his stories of the good days.

Live or Die in LA

If I had the choice between living a short life, but be famous for 2000 years or live a long quiet life; I would choose the long quiet life. I think that even if you are famous it still would make a big difference in the world. I don't think that It would matter that some one in year 4000 says "remember that guy that who did that thing." I believe it would matter more to me that I lived a long happy life. I think that life is only meant to live long and happy. There are a few exceptions to this, but I think life is precious and you are not meant to die young.

The Things You Carry

If I were to be drafted into the army I would take these 10 items:

1. I-Pod, because music sooths me and I would feel more calm about the situation.
2. A golf ball, because I love golf and It would comfort me to think about playing golf.
3. Pictures of Family, thats pretty self-explanatory.
4. Fried Chicken, because it tastes good and its a comfort food.
5. A mini-fan, for the hot weather.
6. A book, to pass the time by.
7. A game boy, also to pass the time by.
8. A rabbit's foot , for good luck.
9. A four leaf clover, for good luck.
10. A journal, recollecting events that happened to me in war.

Antigone: The Feminazi

Since Oedipus's time the majority of society wants women to sit a home and do the everyday household things. This type of thought was evident in Antigone's story. Until the 20th Century women we revoked thier rights on the basis of these thoughts. In Antigone's story Antigone was one of the first feminists to stand up against this Idea. She didn't want be discriminated against and she would go aginst her ideas. She felt one way and even though Creon felt differently she refused to step down. This is the way most of the feminists today think.

What's in the Bag???

I believe that I can control the smallest and largest decisions in my life. In my opinion, we don't have a predetermined destiny. We control where we go and who we become. If there were a predetermined destiny then what would be the point in working hard in life? No one can prove either beliefs; it's just what's your opinon. The truth of it is; is that you end where you end up. No one knows if it were predetermined or your choice to end up where you are.

Fate vs. Freewill

From the text:
The entire chorus song during the prologue.


In Oedipus Rex, the main theme is the belief in fate. Fate is the deciding factor in his world. Today, I believe that the deciding factor that we belive in is freewill. Most of us today believe that we can decide our own fate. There were very few people in those days that believed that they could control thier own fate. Oedipus believes the gods decide what his fate was; as did most during the sophocles era. This play shows that Oedipus could not avoid his fate no matter how far he believed he was from it.

Blind, Deaf, or Mute?

Blind, because my other senses would be strengthened. If I were blind then I could still hear and get around. If I were mute then I couldn't communicate without sign language. If I were deaf then I would have to learn sign language to communicate with others. However, if I were blind then I could not drive and would need a dog and a stick to go anywhere. I would not want to be deaf, because that would include being mute and deaf.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm too young to have known him, but since I live in atlanta and get reminded everyday what a great man he is. I was in NY for King weekend and they replayed the "I have a Dream" speach and it gave my goosebumps all across my back. His actions makes me realize how much we should stand up for our beliefs. He was a great man and revolutionized the ideas of non-violent protest and standing up for what we believe.

He was one of the major leaders of the NAACP and the SCLC(I think). Martin Luther King changed the face of this earth as we know it. Back then the black people dealt with injustice and prejudice everyday. I believe many people fealt the same way that Martin Luther Knig Jr. did, but they didn't stand up and speak. But once Rev. King stood up and spoke; it was the start of creating a better place for all americans.
