Waist-Deep In Walmart on Wattpad

     This "Book of the Week" isn't actually a real book. In fact,this is actually a story that has not yet been published and made into a "real book." I know that once you read "on Wattpad" you thought "What is Wattpad?" Believe me I was thinking the exact the same thing the first time I saw Wattpad. This is a free website where people read and write stories/plays of different genres.

     Going back to the story this story takes place in Sandwich, Massachusetts. This setting might seem fake but this small town actually does exist in the state of Massachusetts. This entire story starts due to Ellie's mom who makes her go out to Walmart, during a hurricane to buy... Toilet Paper.The store is closing when Ellie arrives and she sneaks in to buy it. The catch is that she finds out that her crush, Anthony is in the store, and they both end up "Waist-Deep In Walmart" for three days. Due to... You guessed it the category five hurricane.

     This is a great story for anyone who likes to read funny stories that have a bit of romance, but not enough for it to be a FULL romance novel. I believe that this story can brighten anyone's day with the funny tales of Ellie, Anthony, Julius, Caroline, and Mason. I'm sure that this story can make you laugh each time you walk into a Walmart for the rest of your life.

My Proof that Sandwich DOES exist.

My Top 5 Songs of the Week #1

Top Songs of the Week:

1. Counting Stars By: One Republic
2. Hurt By: Christina Aguilera
3. I Told You So By: Carrie Underwood
4. My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark By: Fall Out Boy
5. Starlight By: Muse

     Now I know that if you know your music you would have realized that these songs are outdated, whether its by a lot or a little. 

     Counting Stars by One Republic is my top song right now because of its catchy tune and catchy lyrics. I have to say my favorite lyric would have to be "Old, but I'm not that old. Young, but I'm not that bold, and I don't think the world is sold. I'm just doing what we're told..." This song is great to lift you up when you are sad or just feel like being a bit more happy than usual.

     Hurt by Christina Aguilera is a great song despite its sad lyrics.This song can be interpreted in any way you think is correct, but I have to say that I believe it is telling us something very important. It tells us to make sure that we treat people right because we never know when it could be the last time we see them. This can be better explained with its lyrics, "Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you everything I just couldn't do, and I've hurt myself for hurting you." 

     I Told You So by Carrie Underwood is also a very good song. The name basically implies what it is talking about, except she is the one receiving the words "I Told You So." This song is very catchy even though it could make some people a bit sad. I Told You So can teach us life lessons that could take us years to even understand, such as thinking before you act.

     Fall Out Boy is not usually my type of music, but I have to admit that the first time I heard it... I couldn't get it out of my head for a long time. This song is very fun with its fast lyrics, and catching melody. The best part would have to be when he says "Fire!" This can be very fun to try to sing when you have nothing to do, I recommend that you try it.

     Starlight is my last top song of the week, this song is sang by a great band called Muse. If you never heard of them before I really recommend you to look them up. Starlight is a fun song to try to sing because it has lots of ups and downs in the pitch. Muse has some very difficult songs, but Starlight is definitely one of the more fun ones to sing.

Book of the Week #1

Graceling

By: Kristin Cashore

Graceling (Graceling Realm #1)

     This book is great for everyone who enjoys reading about older times, and loves adventure stories. Graceling takes place in the times where there were kingdoms, voyages on ships, and traveling on horseback. In a short explanation Graceling is about a girl named Katsa who was born with a great skill, also known as a "Grace." In these seven kingdoms anyone who is "graced" is either feared or exploited by higher authorities to achieve what they want. 

     Katsa despises what her grace is, because her grace is being a killer. She is a great fighter and almost invincible, but her uncle king of the Middluns forces her to punish and torture his enemies. Then, she meets Prince Po who becomes her friend, who is a great combat fighter.

     Graceling is not only a great story but can also teach you a few things along the way, and keep you entertained at the same time. If you are a person that does not usually enjoy books like this I recommend that you give it a try. This story might be able to change your mind, and leave you wanting to read more. If you already enjoy reading stories like this, Graceling might make that liking grow.

Weekly Poems #1

Requires Hard Work 

By: Rudolph Patrick T Muteswa

"Inspiration is the key to overcoming challenges in life. For it gives us strength to continue.

Inspiration comes in the form of ideas and people. For when you hear and feel another person's life story and the steps you begin to take in life become meaningful and calculated. My inspiration is you Sunshine.

Inspiration encourages one to learn from mistakes and know there is a hurdle called failure. For with inspiration when failure pushes you over, it will help you get up and start all over again.

Inspiration keeps the mind dreaming and looking forward to success. For with your inspiration I believe I can achieve, discover endless possibilities and talent within me.

Inspiration makes me believe I can do anything in life. For with inspiration I fear nothing on this planet and I wish to leave a legacy of good deeds, success career, wealth, philanthropy, prayer, and love.

Inspiration is defined by you Sunshine and your tireless integrity."

Rudolph Patrick T Muteswa Poems

    Inspiration is all around us whether it be the weather, our friends, or our family. Most of us don’t stop to think of who or what inspires us in life. We only realize our inspiration when we are asked who or what made us in to the person we are today. Inspiration is usually not a thing that just randomly appears one day. Inspiration is all around us and we don’t know that until all of the things that inspire us make us think of life-changing things.

    Inspiration makes us continue living and working through all of our daily struggles. Life is full of hard work, but the hard work we go through makes us become better people along the way. Life is not made up of just problems, but is also made up of happiness. The is the most important key to life. Without happiness or inspiration our life would not have a meaning and we would have no purpose.

    This poem shows all of these things in just a few stanzas, and makes us think of everyone that made us into who we are today, and why they have made such a big impact on our lives.
