Too Much.

Sometimes, too much of something can be too much. If someone is eager to do something, they do it all of the time and it gets old. If someone loves something, they let it go. If it comes back, it is meant to be. That can go for many things. Too much of anything can be too much. By using imagry, Robert Frost conveys something coming to end, and someone being exhausted.
            Sometimes, someone’s surroundings tell them that there is a certain kind of mood in the air and they tend to follow that mood. When a person is around something and it gives off a sad vibe, the person will tend to be sad. Like Frost said, “I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight/ I got from looking through a pane of glass/ I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough.” The season is coming to an end. It is getting cold and there is frozen water. Someone is sad that this is coming to an end. At the same time, another feeling is being conveyed.
            When someone does something for so long, they will get tired of it. Someone can only do something for so long before they get bored and tired. Frost said, “For I have had too much/ of apple picking: I am over tired/ of the great harvest I myself desired./ there were ten thousand fruit to touch/ cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.” A reader can tell that Frost is tired of what he is doing. He has had too much and he is over tired, but he once desired that great harvest. Is too much of a good thing too much?
            By using imagery, Frost conveys something coming to an end, and someone being exhausted. Even though someone might love an activity with all of their heart, if they do it all of the time, they will probably get bored, exhausted and overall done with that activity because they did it all of the time. Sometimes, too much of a good mechanism is too much.

My MISTAKE.

Think of these quotes.
"I already gave my best. I have no regrets at all."
"There are no regrets in life, just lessons."
"I have no regrets about my life."
     I agree 100 percent with these quotes. I would not say that I regret anything in life because I feel like everything happens for a reason. While I may not have any regrets, I do know I have made many mistakes in my life. If I knew then what I know now, I would fix my mistakes, not my regrets. One mistake that I tend to make too often is to forgive a person too quickly I feel like this is a mistake because when I forgive someone too quickly, that usually give them the incentive that nothing ever happened and I am allowing them to walk all over me. They always tend to do the same exact mechanism again. I consider this a mistake rather than a regret because it will always be a learning experience. If I regretted it and I wanted it to have never happened, I would have never learned from it. That is why I do not use the choice of words, "what do you REGRET." I enjoy using MISTAKE instead.

Basketball, My Love.

     My favorite activity to do is to play basketball. Basketball is the only sport I really stuck to. I have done cheer leading, golf, shot-put and discus in track, and basketball. So, I have done some very diverse activities.  I really enjoyed pondering around in different sports and activities, such as crocheting. I also really enjoy camping, theater, being on the boat at the beach, or just going on joy rides on the boat. Well, back to basketball. I started playing when I was five years old on our  cardinal youth league. I played on that through forth grade. In fifth grade, I played for the Jr. Lady Cardinals travel team.Then in sixth grade, I had back surgery in November so I could not play that year. Then, I tried out in seventh and eighth grade and got cut. I was very upset. I always loved playing basketball. I am starting to play again, in hopes that I might play next year, senior year and throughout college. Even though I am not the typical tall basketball girl, I refuse to let that stop me from trying. I always loved the challenge basketball put you against. You have to be aggressive but not foul and you need to always be on your toes, ready to run down the court and catch a rebound if someone messes up and doesn't stop the ball from getting down there. I will prove that you can be short and still do an amazing job in this sport. I love basketball with all of my heart. Even if I am not on a team, it will always be a part of me.

My favorite band.

         All Time Low
Sparks The Rescue
My favorite band is Sparks the Rescue. They play alternative rock songs. I started listening to them after I want to a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus concert in May. I love their music because it is fun and gets you up and jumping around. I am married to the bass player, Mike Narran. Just like any other band, they do play some slow songs. They are just as amazing as an upbeat, fast pace, fun to dance to song. My absolute favorite song by Sparks the Rescue is We Love Like Vampires. It is a cute love song, but it fast pace and fun to listen to. The music video is very funny too. I could not choose which band to write about, so i am going to write about my second favorite band. This band is called All Time Low. Like Sparks the Rescue, All Time Low plays alternative rock music. I am planning to see them in concert on October 15th with a group of friends. My favorite song by them is Weightless. It is a fast pace song and also fun to listen to. I think it has a great meaning behind it as well. It is about just having fun and not taking things too seriously. I feel like I can relate to that. I like to have fun and not worry about little things that could bother me. It is never as fun to watch people have fun than it is to be the one having fun. That is how both of these bands are. They both just like to have fun and live life for today. They inspire me. They started off with dreams. Now they are living their dreams after much hard work and dedication. I hope to be as inspiring as them one day and live out my hopes and dreams.
