Thursday, October 30 - Steven Spielberg

Jaws, ET, Indy and Jurassic Park
What new film shall I make today? I need a creative spark.
But whatever I decide, the world will behold
For everything I touch becomes cinematic gold
So I sip my coffee and look out on the West Coast
I'm Spielberg, my films are so good I don't need to boast
Like Michael Bay who is all about the big explosion
But subtlety and adventure are the true Hollywood notion
No one wants real world conflicts and strife
People watch movies to escape normal life
And so I come up with the next summer blockbuster
While Michael Bay's career sits in lackluster.

Tuesday, October 28th - IDEK

Walter White woke up on the beach of Never Never Land. He scratched his head and blinked hard. Everything was so different since he left New Mexico. After killing everyone he ever knew, he faked his own death and moved to Far Far Away, and into the small beach community of Never Never Land. He met a woman named Winter, and together they had a daughter which they named Snow. Walt walked back to his beach home and went down into his basement where his meth operation has grown exponentially in size. The three pigs where working diligently pumping Methelyne Blue into the vats. He nodded and liked what he saw and went back up to the living room. Snow White came into the room with all the teenage angst a 15 year old would have.

"Can I take the Aztec to school today?"

Walter looked disgruntles at the request.

"I told you Snow. I haven't finished cleaning out the guts from that cocaine dealing Wolf yet. I had to hit him 4 times. Not an easy cleanup."

Snow gave him a very angry look and responded frustratingly

"Why didn't you just strangle him with a bike lock like you did Peter Pan to end his 'pixie dust' operation, Dad?"

Walter flipped the page on his newspaper. The headline read "Giovanni "The Gingerbread Man Gambini takes over family, organize crime explodes in Far Far Away."

"I already told you, the FBI would be suspicious of that."

She screamed as bratty teenagers do, and the arguing continued while Scruffy the family dog happily ate all the papers out of Snow's backpack, even the textbooks. She stormed off to school and failed out, forcing her to turn her focus from college to taking over the White family business.

The End.

Friday, October 24th - Pirates

It is day 82. The first mate Hennington Nickelbaggs and I are the last survivors on board the Jolly Roger. Ironically, Captain Roger was  the first to go, and he was not too jolly about it. We were sailing through the Himalayan Sea on our way to the Monopoly Islands, then disaster struck our seadog crew. They were fast and merciless. They were too much for us to handle. It is the thing of all mariner's nightmares, the thing that makes most naval officers avoid the Himalayan Sea. Yes, dear reader. I am talking about the dreaded Yeti Crabs. They were first spotted by our navigator, Crusty the Narcoleptic Pirate. Upon seeing these creatures he was struck with such strong fear he just fell asleep, and fell out of the crow's nest. The battle was swift, all hands were lost save a few. I wear the corpse of one of the fallen Yeti Crabs as a hat to strike fear into their hearts. As our ship ran up the coral reef and was rendered unseaworthy, I looked upon the nearby beach. There was a boardwalk where many a pirate ship and merchant ship alike were moored, free parking. I saw the gardens that were kept by Marven, the island's groundskeeper. I saw the green siding on the houses and the red brick hotels. We had arrived at Monopoly Island.

Thursday, October 23rd - Puns

There is a place in dirty slums of the city, where you can't quite tell if that smell is from the open sewer drains or the people sitting next to you at the bus stop. But this is no ordinary bus stop, the bus lines that traveled through here have been gone for some time indeed. You are searching for the mysterious underground competition that only the most hardcore of street-dwellers know the location of. But there is a way to enter with the help of an inside source, and this bus stop is the meeting place. You wait, and then suddenly a black hostage bag is placed over your head and you are taken and thrown into a van as it speeds away. You cannot see, but you feel the van descending an incline, stopping, and you hear the driver give a password to someone. You hear the sound of concrete moving along concrete. You ask yourself: Am I in the parking garage on 5th? The van moves on and stops, and you are thrown out onto the ground and the blind is removed. You look back just in time to see the large concrete wall slide back into place, a hidden door. You get up and dust yourself off, then look at the new place you have arrived in. A large stage and a gallery where hundreds of screaming fans cheered for the men on stage. Blue, green, and yellow laser lights and strobes illuminated the room a frenzy of colors. The men on stage were battling with mics, one dressed as a dapper gentleman and the other a mad scientist. The scientist opened with his first line.

So I'm reading this book on anti-gravity, it's impossible to put down.

The crowd roared and cheered at this declarative showcase of wit. The dapper gentleman took his mic of the stand and made his way across the stage to make his retort.

Whats the difference between a dapper on a bicycle and a poorly dressed man on a unicycle? A tire.

This continued on and on, and you recognized the men on stage. They were two of the best punmen in the world, battling right here in the underground Pun Pit. The scientist was thrown off the stage and you are ushered onto the stage. You pick up the mic, and see the sea of people cheeering. You look up and see a large throne in a balcony over the crowd and immediately know who it is. The rather rotund man in the throne is none other than Attila The Pun, the most undisputed master of puns to ever exist. This underground tournament is to select a successor. You start out, and are not nervous because your stage name proceeds you. You declare into the mic that you are Brosideon, King of the Brocean, eater of Brotato chips, listener of Brohemean Rhapsody, conquerer of Broseph Stalin, part time Brodeo clown, ancestor to Han Brolo space pilot, and descendant of A-bro-ham Lincoln. The crowd falls silent, and Attila the Pun gives a slight nod. You are carried away by the crowd, who no longer cheer but "ohm" in a religious manner. You are taken to the balcony where Attila The Pun personally hands you his crown and steps down into retirement. You seat yourself in the throne, take the scepter and look down to your people.

"Let the games brommence."

Tuesday, October 21 - Deja Vu

Black cat crossing the door
I'm half sure I've seen these things before
Half sure twice makes two halves, make a whole
Crawl through the hole to the mind's console
The door behind which the origin is shut tight
Subconscious barriers from my own insight
Using a mirror to see what I'm sure saw in the past
Take that saw and cut through the door to see at last
What I'm searching for doesn't exist at all
A glitch in the matrix caused the double-event I saw
A glitch in the world or a glitch in the perception?
A glitch in the mind causing its own deception

Thursday, October 16 - Rain

Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun

Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
Go away and stop ruining all the fun.

Because truth be told I'm pretty tired
with the way the rain puts out campfires
when I'm trying to enjoy the great outdoors
the rain has to go and turn the sky a dull bore
So go away rain and don't come back 'til you're needed
But while you're here, level 3 needs to be defeated
video games are the only entertainment indoors can provide
so go away rain so I can just go outside

Wednesday, October 15 - I Remember When

Anthony, my dear boy: 

I remember when they reemerged from the shadows.

They had exited our world centuries ago, only leaving behind the remains of the fallen. A grand testament to a great race of beings only surpassed by ourselves in being the most dominate species this planet has ever seen grace its surface. We thought them to be long gone, what we know of them learned from what they left us to find. This could not be farther from the truth. They didn't leave, they never left. They only went into the shadows. Advancing their technology as we advanced ours, growing their civilizations as ours grew. We thought we were the most advanced lifeforms in the universe, then they decided to reclaim their spot on the throne of the world. The technological advances made by the ancient species were far superior to our own. The beasts had developed laser weapons and attached them to their  large frames. In addition to powerful jaws and killer instinct, their Generals were near unstoppable. The creatures are on their way to London, conquering every territory they pass through. I have enclosed a photograph of the war. Keep it safe, my son. I shall return to you soon, but my duty to the Eastern Front are not yet over. The Mecha-Dinosaurian Human war is far from over. 

Your Father:

Friday, October 10 - Pet Peeve

Ever played paintball? If you answered no to that question, then I am truthfully sorry that you have not begun experiencing life to its fullest extent. But if you have, you have ran into everyone's least favorite paintballer, the wiper. There is a special place in Hell for people who wipe hits when playing paintball, right next to people who talk during movies. This is by biggest pet peeve, because being an avid paintballer and advocate for the sport, wipers kill the game for new players as well as aggravate me to no bloody end. Its even worse when you hit a player, you see them cheat and wipe, and they shoot you out of the game. This will send any paintball field "regular" into a rage. First you are tempted to stoop to their level, but then you realize that would mean becoming the very thing you hate most in this world. So like a respectable sportsman, you play by the rules and call yourself out. Then the equivalent of the Satan of paintball starts trash talking about how he demolished you in the last round and how you didn't have a chance against his skill level and super expensive gun. The rage gets to be too much. How do you solve the problem? Well dear reader, I will tell you. In the next game you run up to his bunker and blast him point blank with several paintballs in the back of the head. This technique is called bunkering in the tournament paintball world, and it is especially useful to take care of cocky cheating punks. This is my numero uno pet peeve. The moral of this story: Don't be a tool.

Tuesday, October 7th - Flip Side

Sitting in Creative writing trying to think just what to write
I think to myself perhaps Kaitlyn might have some insight
So I roll on over and shes immediately irritated and writing stops being so active
This is MY space she says, go away, but I know she finds me attractive.
But by now in this class she should really know
This is OUR space, not hers or mine, and her aggravation with this fact really shows.
But when I leave "her" space she immediately enters "mine"
She wants me around for entertainment but won't accept this space is both hers and mine.
Sooner or later she will learn that I'll never go away
Because once someone and I become good friends, I'm here to stay.

***

Here I am trying to write, hoping it doesn't happen again but I know it will.
Yep. There he is. Rolling over on his chair with wheels.
Invading my space, reading over my shoulder, I'd really rather he not
Always in what he calls "our space" annoying me, at least he's kinda hot.
I tell him to leave but my efforts fall fruitless just as always before
And when he does go back to his space, it leaves me really bored.
And as all double standards go, this one is the same.
"our space" only exists when I want to talk to him, I write the rules to this little game.
Even though he's annoying and won't leave me alone to write.
He is a comic genius with humor that can make any day bright.

Thursday, October 2

Once upon a time there was a science student named Tony. Tony was in biology class, with a frog pinned to the metal tray in front of him. he takes a sharp scalpel and is about to cut into the frog when he hears a voice.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Tony looks around for the source of the sound. No one around him seemed to have said it. Not an unusual occurrence, because Tony had no friends.

Down here.

Tony looks at the frog. It was talking to him. He leans in close. He had never met a talking frog before. Tony speaks in whispers.

What do you want?

The frog replies in an aggravated and sarcastic tone.

Well I'd like some Burger King, but first I would like to be set free. Also turning into a human would be nice.

Tony ponders the situation.

Well how do I turn you into a human?

The frog goes over the question in his head.

Ahh, I heard this one guy was kissed and that did the trick for him.

Tony immediately shook his head.

Nope. Not gonna happen.

The frog thought a while.

Alright, I have a idea but you have to do everything I say. Here's the plan...

***

Mr. Daniels looked up from grading last weeks labs, only to see Tony arguing with the dead frog on his desk. Tony then picked up the frog and held it to the heavens, chanting something and spinning in circles, smashing lab equipment and slapping Sammy's head with the frog, causing him to stick himself with the scalpel. Great. Another incident report Mr. Daniels had to do. As Tony told the frog it was not the boss of him and he was his own man and then proceeded to throw the limp frog body out the window, Mr. Daniels wondered why schizophrenic Tony had to be in his class. He decided tomorrow he would just call in sick.
