This is one of the poems I wrote for school. We had a poetry project where we had to research 10 different types of poetry and write our own 10 poems from our research. This is one of my poems that I wrote. It's an ode poem. I hope you like it. Fell free to give me comments. Here it goes:): Memorial Day Those who have defended us for years Who have never been afraid to fight for what's right For without them, we would have no rights We would be in poverty, ruled by a weak ruler They have given us everything that makes us unique Our right to vote, to speak our minds, even the right to eat Also to be individuals, this all comes from them Their personal sacrifices and their families' sacrifices Have helped us more than we think They love their country more than life itself We are very proud of them The ones who have fallen, to the ones that have survived And everyone inbetween We honor all the men and women of our armed forces on this day This day is Memorial Day

The 'LITTLE' things. As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that day. Another fellow survived because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One person was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident. One of them missed his bus. One person spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore! To buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.. Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose. AMEN:) I just thought I would share that with you guys. I hope it brightend your day at least a little. Remember to take life one day at a time and that god is always watching over us. ;)

My friends are always sending these strange chain-letters, so I thought you guys might like to see some of the funny ones. This is probably the strangest one they have sent me so far. It's really freaky, but it's kinda fun. Try it: Here is the deal. Try typing your name with your tongue. Yeah your tongue. I'm not kidding. Don't cheat. Use your tongue only and don't backspace if you misspelled your name. It's okay. Just don't forget to type your correct name so everyone will know what you are trying to type (this time you don't need to use your tongue). For example... ashkey- Ashley See, don't worry if you spelled your name wrong. I did. Try it in the comment section for this blog. Tell me how you did. :) Have fun!

Finally! I am now aloud to post pictures and colors. Yay!

I found this on some website and thought it was kindda funny. Well, here it is: This is a good one!!!......... Spend three minutes taking this "test". Then laugh, and resume your stressful duties. The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Scroll down for each answer. The questions are not difficult. ***** 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend? Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions, correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities. 4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the animal conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
