in "82" i thought of U

...In "82" Where Were YOU....
She sat there watching the sea gulls gliding on the ocean air
Does it matter, she thought, should i really ...care?
Are the feelings eve, really beyond .. .compare?
He left me once
without a word,
and the song from my heart
he kept.
this way? for him?
The sea gulls kept up
their cries, and laughter. But she didn't see,
she could'nt feel.
i don't like this....
she said to the wind!
i need more
she cried to the sky!
And the sea gulls kept up their relentless circling, diving over and over.
Over and Over, Over and Over
-the ocean-
-the sea gulls- -the surf-
Those quiet moments, of silent desperation
that we all-know-----

ney
Why does it have to be ...
Why can't i be enough...







IF TIME WERE----BUT A MOMENT
I remember the gentle breezes
DRIFTING through the air. I remember---knowing
just how much you cared. Each moment that we shared
still finds it's way to me. I still remember--the girl
but the woman's lost to me. I remember the seagulls
as we sailed alone.
The talks---we shared
the dreams, the things, that we let go.
I can still feel the vision I still can feel the rain
I know the woman I once knew,
is different----
but still the same.

Well i was sitting in the back by the railroad track
waiting for the train to pull in
The guitar is strung
and its sitting on my back and i'm gona sing the blues again
Ya, i'm gona sing the blues again
Well i left that show
back in Albercrcy
and i guess i'll never see you again
But i got a little stash
stashed, stashed away
and i'm gona sing the blues again
Ya, i'm gona sing the blues again
Here i go (instrumental)
Well my best friend's been the moon above He's the dark side
if you'll have it that way
And those white lines
down that old highway keep me from going astray
Listen to the tunes
in the Frisico bay
the girls are mighty fine in New Orleans
I got some good smoke down in Mexico
and the whiskey
was pretty damn mean
But you never did show down in Albercury
So, i guess
i'll never see you again
But i got a little stash
stashed, stashed away
and i'm gona sing those blues again
Ya, I'm gona sing those blues again
Well i was sitting in the back by the railroad track
waiting for the train to pull in
The guitar is packed
and it's sitting on my back and i'm gona sing the blues again
Ya, i'm gona sing the blues again
Well she never did show down in Albercury
So, i guess i'll never see her again
But i got a little stash
stashed, stashed away
and i'm gona sing those blues again
Ya, I'm gona sing those blues again

when the vision is goneeeeeeeeeeee

W*H*E*N T*H*E V*I*S*I*0*N is gone

When the vision retreats when the dream is gone,at least i have these writings
to show me where i was.
When i was living in Kansas, i took some photographs.
i took pictures of many people, it is the images that last.
When i was a younger man,
i make a record of this life.
The situations that i would see, and the different people in my day.
Now i look at the pictures
and try to recognize,
the different people i have known the the dreams that could have been.
Some are special and bring tears to my eyes. Some I'm sorry i have known.
Some are greedy and tell white lies.
Some are pure as the driven snow.
Sometimes i wish i could have said, the things i did not say.
Some i've known and wish I didn't, ----open my mouth that
day----
But always--there is a time of healing, always there is that day.
Always there is a time of bellying, and the love that comes my way.
i've had so many days that were full,
i must have had my share.
i know the difference between the people i need, and the one's that fade away.
i took the best that i could find, i gave what i could share.
i did this all before the change, when i was young and still had hair.

Today I taught a lesson; I thought it went well for more information check lesson plan reflection.

Friday October 3, 2008
Today Mr. G let me do an in class reading with the students.

So I started reading the passage it was only one page front and back and what I had them do was I would call on the first person then they would read and then after a few sentences they would call on someone else that was everyone had to pay attention and stay in tune with the readings.

For the most part it went well, the problems that arose were students not speaking loud enough and I think I could have done a better job of addressing this issue like taking the time to stop and have them start over louder.

It is important for students to learn public speaking skills because at some point in their lives it will be useful.

Another issue was that this exercise really highlighted some of the students reading levels.

They struggled with words, or mispronounced things and if I had a better understanding of the class dynamics I would have known this would happen.

But this can be beneficial because if forced to read aloud maybe they will want to improve so they aren’t embarrassed.

I should have regulated more the class because when someone was struggling often a few people would jump the gun and say it for them, so I should have prefaced that we need to be respectful of those reading.

But over all it went well, if I had seen the reading before I think I could have done a better job of asking questions throughout to check for understanding but overall it went well.

Today we watched a movie in class titled Liberty it was a PBS production and I thought it was a good documentary.

But I am also older and a history buff. I felt that the content of the video was tailored to a more advanced audience and the wording was not at the middle school level.

It was an interesting documentary because they used letters and documents from the time period and had the actors have a sort of monologue of sorts, but the language was really flowery and hard to understand I thought for the students.

Plus many of them were distracted talking with their neighbor or just not paying attention.

The teacher would have been better off if he had a worksheet or something giving the students guidance in watching the film so they had things to look for as they watched.

This activity would have been more productive if there were more structure.

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in ten books; a second edition followed in 1674, redivided into twelve books (in the manner of the division of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the Judeo-Christian story of the Fall of Man; the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is "justify the ways of God to men"[1] and elucidate the conflict between God's eternal foresight and free will.

In the early nineteenth century, the Romantics began to regard Satan as the protagonist of the epic. Milton presents Satan as an ambitious and proud being who defies his creator, omnipotent God, and who wages war on Heaven, only to be defeated and cast down. Indeed, William Blake, a great admirer of Milton and illustrator of the epic poem, said of Milton that "he was a true Poet, and of the Devil's party without knowing it." [2] Some commentators regard the character of Satan as a precursor of the Byronic hero.[3]

Milton worked for Oliver Cromwell and the Parliament of England and thus wrote first-hand for the Commonwealth of England. Arguably, the failed rebellion and reinstallation of the monarchy left him to explore his losses within Paradise Lost. Some commentators such as the artist and poet William Blake say that he sympathized with Satan in this work, in that both he and Satan had experienced a failed cause.[citation needed]

Milton incorporates Paganism, classical Greek references and Christianity within the story. The poem grapples with many difficult theological issues, including fate, predestination, and the Trinity.
