Snow blower

song I 'm obsessed with, Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson. I light another cigarette then neared off to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take them out and look at them. The one thing that…

miles were covered in snow. The cold felt like thousands of needles dancing on my skin. I looked up towards the sky. It was a pale blue with clouds as white as the snow that surrounded me. Everything here amazed me. A small smiled appeared on my face. This was like a dream I didn 't want to end. I start laughing to myself. Too bad this was a dream, and it soon was going to end. I sighed deeply. Might as well make the most of it, right? I walked around the trees watching as the snow landed on the…

Close your eyes and imagine. Imagine a small boy wearing a small blue winter coat, standing, at the top of a peak reaching 14,114 ft into the sky. Now imagine that small boy peer over the edge of a cliff who knows how high. Imagine this boy seeing this and being afraid, being afraid he’d fall. Imagine that this fear prompted that little kid to lay down and stare over the edge of that cliff until the fears overtook him too much and he ran away from the deadly edge. Fears can come from anywhere,…

stopped for a minute and got out my hand warmers and used them, and checked my watch. I was out there for 2 hours man! So I was freaking out more than every now and I rod the snowled board thingy all the way and then I found a snow plow just a plain old boring snowplow. Well the snow plow was on a path that said caution now someone's probably like, well you wouldn't go down there find another way around, NO! I put my board on and just started cruising through the that caution tape. I followed…

A gentle breeze on a crisp fall morning passes through the windows in the kitchen. The wind blows the chimes on the porch and they play a beautiful melody. Off in the distance, the first snow storm of winter begins to brew. Many every day happenings, such as these, often help us to remember or feel a loved one’s presence. This presence in particular, is one of someone that is no longer living. “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep,” argues that a person doesn’t really disappear from the world after…

base—“sandwich papers and empty bottles and peasant women singing Stand Er Auf” (Stephen, 222), but that still as a mountaineer he looks at the alps in awe at the “imperishable majesty” (Stephen, 222) because of the memory of scrambling in rock and snow to…

When it snows When it snows what comes to your mind? Maybe snow angels, maybe sledding, or hot chocolate. I love when it snows because I love winter. I like having to wear big jackets, scarfs, and boots. It usually feels like winter to me around the end of November or at the beginning of December. Snow makes me want to cozy up with a blanket in my warm pajamas and fuzzy socks and watch Christmas movies all day while drinking hot chocolate. In 2014 my family and I had a competition…

No Barriers Reflection Imagine every sport you love playing being ripped away from you. One day, you’re able to hike up mountains to see a breathtaking view, and the next you can’t see two inches in front of you. This is exactly what happened to Erik Weihenmayer right before his first year of high school. Although he didn’t go blind out of the blue, it was still as if the Earth had shifted from right beneath him. Erik always new his juvenile retinoschisis would one day claim his vision, but…

Imagine someone pushes a snowball down a hill as it rolls down the steep hill someone else give it an extra push. Who's fault is it when the snowball, massive in size, hits a pedestrian and injures them? The one who initially pushed the snowball down the hill or the one who gave it the extra push? This is what happens in Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, the witches gave the initial push to Macbeth while Lady Macbeth gave an extra push all leading to the murder of many. Before all of this,…

With the temperatures falling, you're most likely searching for an activity for the entire family. Ice skating is a terrific way to get much-needed exercise in the winter when it's too cold to play outside. Whether you're an adult skating after a long absense or lacing up skates on your children for the first time, there are ways you can avoid injury on the ice. When it's your first time skating, you should choose figure skates over hockey skates. The blades on figure skates are longer and…
