Web Gallery Of Art

This is a picture by Vermeer. This picture reminds me of what we were just learning about in global class. In global we were learning about baroque art and we learned a little about Vermeer. We learned how since he was a dutch baroque artist he painted very plain paintings. All of his paintings are very pretty to me this one in particular. This picture is of his view of Haarlem from his vantage point. In my opinion Vermeer was a very talented artist and i very much enjoy looking at his work. When ever i look at this though i am reminded about global class. Global is my favorite subject and even though my global teacher is pretty hard this year I am still very interested by it. So when ever i see this picture I am reminded about that. Also one of my favorite books when i was little was Chasing Vermeer. I loved that book and i must have read it at least 4 times. So when ever i look at this picture i think of that as well. Also this picture kind of looks like the view from my grandparents house and that also makes me happy. Over all this picture just makes me happy when i see it.

A new voyage will fill your life with untold memories (155)

A new voyage will fill your life with untold memories (155)
This quote is very relevant to me it means that to gain new memories you need to do something new. These memories could be either good or bad you never know but you won’t know unless you try. During my life I have made many new things and some have ended up bad but many have ended up good either immediately or in the long run. Joining the cross country was a very big decision and it ended up very well for me and now I have great memories. Also joining the cross country ski team and track were decisions that let to good memories. I didn’t want to join track originally but my friends convinced me and I was a great decision. Not only did I enjoy it but I also have great memories of it. Everyone should do new things for fun.

Writing With O

Oreos, they are my favorite cookie. Once and a while i get the limited edition Halloween ones. Oats are another one of my favorite food. Oatmeal is a great food and i eat it for breakfast during the winter. Orbit gum is my gum of choice. Occasionally i also chew 5 gum. Objects that are in my room are a bed and a dresser. Other things that interest me are running and technology. Opera does not interest me at all, in fact it bores me. Over all this was very hard for me, you would be supprised how hard it is to write with the letter o

Poem

Stop wishing through windows we know have been shut
Or our dreams will keep on getting smeared on the glass
Stop living in the past
and learn to live in the present 

Stop worring about issues in the past
they dont concern us now
Dont worry about others problems
they dont concern you either

Stop worrying about the future it's not here yet
You can worry about it when it comes
Stop worrying in general there is no need for it
And if you can do this than you will be a much better person
