In the song, Don't Wait by Joey Graceffa, Joey starts the song by writing, “I know you've got a strong heart/ It's written in the stars/ Behind the castle walls/ You've hid your light.”this creates the feeling of being committed, but still being a little unsure of when to come out. The text says, “Behind the castle walls you've hid your light, but when you let the past go, your story unfolds.” this shows he has been hiding his life in, and if he shows it he, will start this big adventure of…

Blink 182 has been playing tongue-in-cheek pop punk since 1994. To date, the band has released six full-length albums, each album more mature than the last. Though they had moderate success with their first and second album, the band really took off after the 1999 release of Enema of the State. The trio of Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom DeLonge (guitar, vocals) and Travis Barker (drums) went on to sell millions of records, and play to millions of fans live across the globe. Though they have…

Modern Art and Modern Fame Pop art, the product of fame and modern art, was created by Andy Warhol. Warhol’s early explorations in art was a result of catching chorea, making him bedridden for extended periods of time. His mother, another artist, taught him how to draw. His career was filled with ups and down, but this gave way to the birth of pop art. Influenced by the lesser known British artist who invented the start of pop art, Warhol made an Americanized version of pop art. Warhol used art…

Prologue “Could you please tell me where you are from again?” “The Island of Udatnosst, your highness,” King Eli Pound repeated, growing agitated at the King of Roch’s inability to neither recognize nor pronounce the name of his kingdom. “Unclench your jaw.” “Cannot you read, sir? I would be willing to spell it. It has a silent D and a guttural O. You have to say it with gruff! Use that large throat of yours and try it with me. Yew at N oooo st.” “Do not insult me, Eli.” “I, as well, am a…

Darkness befell upon the sky as I was getting closer to my destination. I was meeting up with my girlfriend for a date, our first since we became a couple. When I arrived, there she was standing so elegantly as the gust of night gently blew her hair in way so mystically. If I didn’t know who she was, I might have mistaken her for an angel. However, I knew all too well that she could not possibly be an angel. Much rather, she was a fallen angel. One born of a disturbed heart in which god would…

Chapter Three The final roster for the Power Cheer team would be posted on the bulletin board by the gym at lunch tomorrow. Frankie had high expectations, and she knew it. She may have not been the best tumbler at the tryouts, but she definitely made sure to have a smile plastered across her face. A cheerleader needed to show spirit and energy, and spread optimism to the entire crowd. At the end of the day, that’s what the co-ordinator was looking for. It was all a part of the plan. Keisha knew…

“It was terrible, but it leads me to this question: How can you willingly leave someone you love so much? Or do you not really love Carina?” Not love Carina? What kind of madness was that? A frustrated Ulrich explained, “I love her! More than anything.” He reached down and fumbled in his belt pouch for the betrothal ring and held it out to Merlin. “I was planning to ask for her hand a few days ago,” he said, brandishing the piece of jewelry. “I’m leaving because I love her. Because I don’t want…

A big human male with a sword squared off against 23, while a short man with his back to her, with broad shoulders and long arms faced off against Corny with a…

It is the year 2002, my great grandpa was still alive and I frequently visited his farm with my father. This is a story about the events leading up to one visit that was very much like most visits. I was a young quick witted five-year-old bursting with energy. The summer was bright and filled with the joy of youth. I awoke in the morning and did my usual routine of showering getting dressed and brushing my teeth before venturing my way upstairs past the green walls of the corridor, the red…
