The Sapphire Skies: Sinners Waltz

I'm living in a reality
That I made in a half dreamt dream
I tried to make perfection
But I'm still a far ways off
And you can ask, how was this done?
A trick of fancy a feat of fun?
I could try and reveal the answer
But I don't know how myself
For what demons lie behind green eyes
They're waiting for my soul to fly
And take me to reality
Where all my worries dwell
So lead me to the goblin king
Hide me from a heartless queen
A false hope understanding
All fancies fly on wings
So take me to a world of friction
Where hearts a line and fact meets fiction
Save me from this life
I am an elder son
And paint me with my velvet faults
And dance along, this sinners waltz
Is just a small comparison
To the hatred of the pure

I do not seek for retribution
I only ask for revolution
Fight against the judgers
For there's only one allowed
And Hide me from the world unfair
And take me into peaces lair
The world is ending soon
And I do not wish to stay
They paint me with my velvet faults
And make me dance a sinners waltz
But they are not my masters
They are not my judge

V for Vendetta Introductory Monologue

I'm wishing I had done this for my Public Speaking class. It's clever and really cool.



The Only Verdict is Vengence...A Vendetta....

The Sapphire Skies: Sadness is a Friend of Mine

Sadness is a friend of mine
I have him hope, he gave me time
A bitter friend but yet he’s kind
Sympathizes with my mind
And I don’t care if he’s a ghost
He’s actually there when needed most
When heartbreak is the masters will
Sadness’s got some time to kill.
He held his hope I held my time
Sadness is a friend of mine.

Sadness is a friend of mine
He came to life when you left mine
What have I done to make you so unkind?
You don’t notice? That’s a lie.
I’ve paid my time to the devils son
He looked at me and started to sob
You had it all, then you threw it away
I'd never trade lives with you any day
I said, “My souls been broken, don’t you mind?”
Sadness is a friend of mine.

You broke my heart, then left me dry
I broke down and lost my mind
Insanity is now my home
Hatred is a common foe
And no one seems to even see
The broken hearted in the city
Come with me, you’ll never cry
Sadness is a friend of mine.

Sadness was a friend of mine
He understood and drank my wine
The bitter cup but now I'm fine
Flying high and chasing time
Yet I know he will return
When my heart again will yearn
I'll have to hide my crimsoned lies
From the girl with sapphire eyes
And too my heart I will remind
That sadness was a friend of mine.

Welcome to the BYU Pokemon League

Yes, you have just graduated from High School. But now you have to go to the great big thing that is called "The Real World"....It might be dangerous. You're only a freshmen. But wait! You have the ability to do something that could help you out in this real world!....COLLEGE!

It's Dangerous out there. Here, choose one of these:

Fine Arts Major: Good at interpreting. They grow fast. A good beginner Major

Science Major: Good at observation: They grow slower, but worth it.

Business Major: Sturdy and reliable. Grow at normal rate..but room to expand!

Have you chosen? Good.

Now we start our journey. First you have to fight your rival. If you chose Fine Arts Major, you're rival chose a Science Major. If you chose a Science Major, he has chosen a Business Major and if you chose a business Major, you are fighting the Fine Arts Major.

In case any of you disagree, here is my logic
Science Major-----------Disproves, over analyzes, and using logic-------------defeats Fine Arts Major
Fine Arts Major----------uses beauty, abstract thinking, and pretty colors---------defeats Business Major
Business Major---------Argues, uses aggression and strong hotheadedness--------defeats Science Major


You face your first gym match.....general education. Some of the classes are easy to defeat while others just don't suit your desired major. But you have to defeat them.

What's This? 14-16 credits? Your Major is Evolving!!
Congratulations! Your...
Science Major is now a Biology Major
Fine Arts Major is now a Music Major
Business Major is now an Economics Major

Now you are fighting your next semester. Again, it is a gym where some of the subjects are suited to you but others aren't. But you no the drill so you probably got a couple more skills to fight them with.

Men!...and some Women (because you can choose to go on a mission)....you have been given a free skill set!...Language Training! What will this language training turn into? If you want, you can keep it the way it is and it will become a Western Humanities Major.
If exposed to Spain, Mexico, or any state side speaking mission, then it will become a Spanish Major
If exposed to Canada, France, then it will become a French Major
If exposed to Russia, Russian Major.
Etc. etc.

It you develop it and you love it, it will probably become something like a Spanish Literature Major or a French Humanities Major.

If you develop it and don't love it....it will probably run away....

Oh No! It's Team BYUSA!!! They all have and English or Performing Arts Major!!!! and they are trying to capture the Legendary Majors.....The Legendary Trio....The Physics Teaching Major, The Applied Physics Major, and The Astrophysics Major.

If you are lucky you can capture all three, there fore guaranteeing your graduation.

Wait! What is This? Your major is Evolving again!
Your Biology Major is now a Biochemistry Major!
Your Music Major is now a Performance Major!
Your Economics Major is now a Global Supply Chain Management Major

It's time to face the Elite Four and the Champion! Unlike your other gym battles, these are one on one duels of logic with each of these majors.

First: Philosophy Major. Seems easy to fight at first, but watch out! They have a strong attack!

Second: Chemical Engineering Major. They have strong logic, but they have one major hole in their attack and defense....The Performance Major would come in handy here.

Third: Genetics and Biotechnology Major. He is fairly well rounded and can attack on many fronts. Just be patient.

Fourth: Neuroscience Major. This will be your most difficult battle. Since the thing they study is the human brain, they will be able to parry and block most attacks. They are basically the psychics. The only way to beat them is to either let their sense of superiority take them down or resort to the thing that all psychics fear...physical attacks....

The Champion: What could possibly be so terrifying that it beat all the elite four? It is a Chemistry Major that teaches Organic Chemistry! Not only that......but he is an American Heritage TA!!!

If I were you, I would give up hope.

But Wait! You have captured the Three of the most powerful degrees (not as powerful as the champion, but combined....maybe) Simply use the Physics Trio and use the two most powerful attacks that every single major is weak to: The Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics!!!

Congratulations, you have just beat the champion. Now you have the chance to catch the two legendary majors that supposedly created the world Particle and Theoretical Physics as well as the three legendary teaching Majors: English Teaching, Physical Education Teaching, and Elementary Ed.

And you know what the great thing about this league is? There are a limited number! There are other Leagues like the Harvard League, the Julliard League, even the UVU League, but they all have around the same majors. None of this 600 and some-odd crap.

Hope you enjoyed this.

(Note: I used stereotypes when I described Majors and stuff...don't be offended...I know plenty of people who don't fit any of the descriptions)

Lookin' like a Gent

I am here to share my newest theory: The Barnabas Paradigm. 

It is named for Barnabas Stinson (a man of good taste except when it comes to morals) from the TV show "How I Met Your Mother". The theory itself is old as time. It states that a man becomes more attractive to the opposite gender when dressed up in a suit.

To even further the point, here is an experiment. If you saw me walking down the street randomly would you react differently if I was wearing this?


Compared to this?


Or even This.....



Lets be real, the suit is the obvious winner. The second one would be decent but it's just not that classy and that second one would be cool for a rock star...but you know who wore suits while rocking out? The Beatles and Buddy Holly...what gents....

So my brothas! You want to look good and impress the girls? There's only one thing to do...SUIT UP!!
