Desperation

For my writing class (one of the many at Kent) I had to write an essay expressing the importance of a piece of artwork and "demystify" it for the reader. I chose to do my project (the first of the year!) based around the song "The Approaching Curve" by Rise Against (not to be confused with Rise Against the Machine... *cough* mother *cough* ).
Sadly, there is no video, but I doubt that any video could capture the magnitude of the song. It took some time to find a proper home-grown video that had good sound quality, but here it is!



Feel free to read my essay below. It took me for ever to finally figure out a way to put it up here since Blogger would not accept the way I had it designed in Microsoft Word. Finally I just posted it to my Google docs. I've yet to publish something with my Google docs account... so, I hope this works!

Well, I must come back to read the essay and *cough, snarfa-snarf* it in its intendedness.

Because you GOTTA know I'm sitting there beside your doofy mom thinking about The Matrix song.

I love Keanu. And The Matrix. He is THE ONE for me...

Okay, I'm back tomorrow when my brain cells are at 75%.

(They are never at 100% just so you know.)

So...how'd you do? Do you have a grade on it yet?

Beth said...

I got a C on it. Not too shabby, considering the three people around me got Ds and Fs.

bad word, bad worditty-word

Yanno, I would have loved reading about your teenagery gushing or headbangery over Twilight.

Or high school.

Or whatever.

Where ARE you? Can't you just burp or something?

DiAnne said...

Oh, trust me, she can DEFINITELY burp.

BTW, I wish her damn mom would write a post, too. Bad mom. Wait...I'm her mom. Crap. I need to write a post. Drat.
