road side shoes a writing assignment (contest)



I always wonder when I see shoes beside the road.. What is their story? Why are they where they are? Did someone get mad and put her boyfriend out beside the road and throw her shoes at him as she drove away? Did he "step in something" So I thought it would be fun to do a little creative writing assignment today. What do you think the story behind the shoes above is? Post it in comments and the most creative story will get kudos with a link to your site posted here, on my facebook, zazzle, and myspace pages. So lets hear what you think..

to become immortal

It's no secret, its just something that is commonly over looked or misinterpreted. Fact is we all die. But there is a way to live on past your death... In the memories of those you touched. My grandfather will probably live forever because he led such an adventurous life that his stories will go on for generations to come. My mom still tellls me stories of my grandpa's adventures and misadventures and I tell them to my kids who will likely tell them the their kids because they are good stories and it gives you a sense of pride to know that the blood of the man who did "that" also runs through your veins.

So I tell you friends and neighbors.. The key to imortality is rolling down hills with your kids, making mud pies, fishing with marshmallows when you have no bait, having soda pop wars with canned sodas, those are the memories that will live live on way past your life time. Those are the stories your cildren will tell teir children with a smile and a sense of pride because the blood of the woman who "did that" also runs through them.

Sure enough, your friends might roll their eyes, your neighbors might think you are nuts, it might seem like no big deal to you, but your kids will think you were the greatest person to ever walk talk or breath and when they tell those stories to their kids they will smile and laugh and remember the moments with you. and in that way in their words you will never die.

my gun or my child



I was shocked today when I visited my daughters facebook causes page to see that she had recruited more of her friends.. Infact almost double the amount of friends to promote the cause "right to bear arms" than she had either of two other causes, "child abuse awareness" and "cancer in children".

Where is the humanity in being more concerned with being allowed to have something that kills people than with a cause that helps children?

Dont get me wrong I think we shoiuld have the right to bear arms too, but I don't believe being able to kill should takje precedence over promoting something that could potentially save a child, or any human life for that matter.

"now little Tommmy, Im gonna look the other way while your daddy beats you, and it sucks that you have lukemia but on the bright side if you live to be an adult you'll have the right to carry a gun because I supported that right for you" Im sure little Tommy will than you all..

Im just saying...
