we are done

I dump the cup over. The lizards scurry out eager to get home or to a place where they won't be found.
one 
two
three
I watch them scurry by free of the jar.
I realize I have my last slice of life today.
I walk back inside the air-conditioning is cool vs the hot Texas air. I walk inside and lay on the couch. I look at my surroundings. 
I have always liked my grandmas place. I look at the toy solders on the mantle, the seem to be frozen as if someone pressed pause in there lives and brought them here. 
My mom and my grandma are off to the grocery store, which either means they will be back in under 20 minutes, or in over an 1:30. I look at the time and decide its more likely to be an hour and a half.
I glance at the computer on the counter.
Write your slice of life Sloan I invasion the computer saying
I give it a glare and turn on the TV
Write your slice
"Shut up" I say
I turn on the TV and scroll, not particularly looking for anything just bored, and hungry...
Do your slice and get food Sloan
As I walk over to the computer my mind thinks of an excuse to not do my slice
Why don't you eat first and then do your work maybe some good TV might be on too
I know I am not going to get my work done anytime soon but that's ok another hour won't kill you.

sol 30/31

I lay in my bed. Not wanting to get up to deal with the horrors and complications of breakfast, but not wanting to stay in my spot because by now I am awake. I log on to my computer scroll through my email. I look at the time
8:21
I peak through my shutters and look out at the street. I watch as people walk to school in small clumps. I am sick today, so but I don't have much to do. I open up my computer again a watch Family Guy on the disk that my dad gave to me on my birthday. 
I personally think the show is dumb and horribly written, but hey sometimes it gives a good laugh. 
An half hour ticks by. I pause the show and look at the time
8:53
I know I should start my slice of life soon, but by the time I get on the computer I will have found an excuse to not do so, plus I don't have any ideas.
Maybe I should just nap awhile.
By the time I wake up I will have at least one idea.
Maybe I could write about my dream
if I have a dream
I will probably do that...

I boost myself up on to a the first branch. Then I grab the second and hoist myself even farther upwards. I look down as my cousin tries to follow me.
Tries I think
Not succeeds
One thing I want to be
Alone
I keep on going higher and higher until I reach the point where all the other tree limbs are unsteady.
I smile and grab some candy from my easter basket I have conveniently stashed up here.
I pop in my earbuds and press shuffle. Man in the mirror starts to play and I quietly look out on the street and garden below.
I count the cars passing by and just relax.

I love and hate easter. One you get to eat candy but that one has kinda changed for me (obvious reasons). Another is that I get to see my grandma. I love old people, they are caring and considerate unless of course there not which is rarely the case for me. Plus my grandma makes a killer roast beef.
Maybe I should go inside and get some more
but my cousin might catch me

rain

I watch as the rain makes beads that run down the window. I love rain, the way it drums on the roof and soft feeling of it.
The problem is we aren't allowed outside because my friend Brittney has just gotten over a cold z. We watch the rain thump down and eagerly stare at the window.
"Please mom"
"No"
"Please mom"
"No"
"Please mom"
"Fine"
We smile like we had just won the lottery and run outside without even putting our rain gear on. We start to run around and throw worms and leaves at each other. The clothes cling to our wet bodies as we run around and play. Eventually the rain slows to a stop we just sit there looking at the clearing sky.

sol 26/31 princess wars part 1

So earlier today I was scrolling the internet and something interesting came up: a disney princess bracket. I had to fill one out and now I have decided to post my thoughts on how the battle would roll out. So lets start.

Cinderella vs Merida

Battle: I imagine the fight would go something like this. Cinderella calls upon her furry friends (classic disney princess move) Merida shoots her in the face or Merida asks her mom to maul her. Game, set, match.

Winner: Merida

Mulan vs Jasmine

Battle: I think that Jasmine would first send her tiger to maul Mulan. Mulan would either cut the tiger in half or send her dragon to set the tiger on fire. From there the dragon would burn Jasmine to death or Mulan cuts her in half.

Winner: Mulan

Belle vs Pocohontes

Battle: Pocohontes draws an arrow to shoot Belle. Belle summons Beast, Pocohontes can't kill any animal (she made an deal with her tribe plus she probably a vegetarian but then again aren't all disney princesses) and sadly Beast mauls her.

Winner: Belle

Anna vs Daisy Duck

Battle: Anna calls her boyfriend to stab it, heck even Olaf could kill Daisy Duck. Her boyfriend kills it. Game, set, match.

Winner: Anna

Belle vs Anna

Battle: Beast mauls Anna.

Winner: Belle

Belle vs Mulan

Battle: Belle has beast Maul Mulan, Beast gets either Blade or Blaze from Mulan. Mulan walks over to Belle and stabs her.

Winner: Mulan


I hope you enjoyed my fight I will do this tommarrow too, bye.

an abundance of katherines

I like this book butI don't think that it has gotten to a point where it is interesting. This book is about a boy who is extremely smart and is has just had a break up. To cheer him up his friend takes him on a road trip. I like this book to a certain degree. I haven't gotten to a point where I am very invested in it. I still would recommend this book to people who are enjoy John Green.

sol 24/31

So recently I have been thinking about princesses. Everyone either wants to be them or hates them. So thinking about this controversy I decided to make a list of my top ten disney princess out of the top ten that are in the princess line up. I am judging on talent, brains, independence, and weather or not she is a good role model.

DISCLAIMER: Is I don't add a princess that you liked I am sorry. I am just adding the ones from the current line up (look up disney princess line up if you want to know what I am talking about).

10. Aurora (Sleeping beauty)

pros: She can sing. Actually Aurora was voiced by an opera singer named Mary Costa who had a rewarding career afterwards.

cons: Aurora is lazy. She sits in a cottage baking pies and cakes all day, while being accompanied by birds and squirrels, and waiting for her prince to come, and don't make mention the crazy fairies who raise her. These fairies drive me crazy and always will.

9. Cinderella
pros: She can clean, she is kind, and she has a fairy god mother.
cons: She does nothing besides clean. She is like a pretty vacuum. She doesn't have guts, like when the prince comes with the slipper she doesn't even say "hey I danced with you it was me". Instead she sits there in the door way and watches as her sister cram there foot into the slipper ( actually I kinda would do the same because then you get to laugh at the sisters but still).

8. Snow White
pros: She is kind hearted and thinks of others.
cons: She is dumber then a sack of hammers.
I personally like Snow White but when you think about it she is not smart. She breaks into somebodys house and eats there food, when she is hiding away and praying to god the queen won't find her she lets in a strange women from outside, surely they won't hurt her.

7. Ariel
pros: She's adventurous and optimistic
cons: I hate her outfit. Seriously disney you are going to market her off to young kids and this is the clothing choice you choose. Also she is always complaining even its pretty and in song (part of your world) its still complaining

6. Jasmine
pros: She is adventurous and has a tiger for a pet
cons: Like Ariel the outfit bugs me but I have always had a soft spot for her so I put her lower on the list. She is the damsel in distress in most cases although she plays in like she is in control.

5.Rapunzel
pros: She can heal people with her hair, she has a frying pan as a weapon, and she has a pet lizard
cons: She is emotionally attached to many people/things.

4.Belle
pros: She is smart and cares for others
cons: She has Stockholm syndrome. 
Belle is in love with a bipolar werewolf who is keeping her captive in exchange for her father.

3. Pocohontes
pros: She can fight
cons: She falls in love with someone unworthy of her companionship. I think that she could have done much better and found someone who rivals her awesomeness.

2. Tiana
pros: She is hard working and has her mind set on something besides falling in love.
cons: She lets her friend overshadow her for most of the movie until the end.

DISCLAIMER: alright not all of them are part of the disney princess line up but still this one I could help but add on the list.
1. Elsa
pros: She can shoot Ice anywhere she wants
cons: she can't control her power but she's still awesome

Silence of the lambs Review
Last night I watched silence of lambs with my grandparents ( and no this was there idea) and here is my  review from 3 points in the movie and my overall review as the third.

1. First I see a girl who is a going through obstacle course without anybody acomponing her. My guess is that in the next five minutes. Nope I am wrong, here we are introduced to our main character Clarice Starling( played by Jodie Foster), a student training to become a agent of the FBI, and is told she must interview the mysterious and dangerous serial killer, Dr Hannibal Lecter ( played by Anthony Hopkins) who would eat his victims.

2. Now Clarice is searching for Buffalo Bill the gruesome serial whom kidnaps his victims keeps the hostage and the skins them, with the help of Hannibal. Hannibal helping Clarice by giving her riddle like hints 

Review: Overall I loved this movie. It had a lot of suspense and was cleverly written. But my favorite person was by far Hannibal. Anthony Hopkins was spectacular in his role, he gave Hannibal a clever aspect and made her fearful yet likable. If Hannibal wasn't a crazy psychopath who eats people I would worship him. I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye ~ Hannibal Lector

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

I listen to these lyrics and think about the song. Its like breaking to reveal the true you. I like it (and no I haven't seen Frozen). What would happen if everyone showed there true selves, wouldn't it be easier. But instead we hide in our shells that we have created, that we have woven, the people we want to be seen as, not the people we really are.
I try to brake this shell, everyone does, but when we approach we cower because we are scared of the consequences.

sol 17/31 why Leprechauns will kill you

Leprechauns. They may seem cute sweet and maybe even innocent but on the inside they are cold soulless creatures.
 For years now Leprechauns have had an underground conspiracy with the mermaids and the werewolves to make the human race there slaves.
The evil soulless Leprechauns have planned that on the 20th of march 2020 to send out the werewolves into the major cities and take millions hostage and then from there take over the remaining groups of human resistance and make us there slaves. From there we will build giant glass balls that the mermaids will swim around in.
From there the Leprechauns will stage an attack against the mermaid people which was "delivered" by the Werewolves. Then the Mermaids will use lasers from there minds to turn the Werewolves into Tacos which will never run out that they will feed the homeless with. 
But the Leprechauns want the world to themselves so they blow up the mermaids in there little glass balls and turn them into chocolate cupcakes which will make them fat.
Then the mighty Zombie Unicorns will rise and step on the fat Leprechauns with there hooves.
And then man will kill all the Unicorns and make Zombie beef jerky which will turn everyone on earth into a zombie.
So prepare for the Zombie Unicorn/ Mermaid/Werewolve apcolipse because its coming

sol 16/31

I honor of the sixteenth post and the fact that this challenge is almost over (yay!) I decided to make a top eight list of my favorite songs ( get it eight times two equal eighteen, hey at least I tried to be funny) and why I think there good or bad.
My Favorite songs list
1. Rehab by Amy Whinhouse
 I love this song no madder how out dated I am told it is. I think that the lyrics about the struggle between wanting to not going rehab because she does not want to be want socially shunned, but at the same time knowing that she should to cure her alcoholism. I love this song i think the music video is dumb but it still a good song.

2. Your Song from Moulin Rough
 I personally think this song is so sweet sure its long and even though I haven't seen the musical ( ok sue me I haven't seen the musical that my favorite song is from) it still is touching and sweet. Yes I know I made two rants about how stupid love songs are, and this is sorta hypocritical, I think this song is original and beautiful.

3. Yeah by Usher
I am not quite sure why I put this up on here, maybe its because I used to be obsessed with this song when I was a little for some strange reason. The lyrics are shallow and are the generic pop star "I can't think of anything else to write song" but for some reason I love this song.

4. Stan by Eminem
I think that Eminem can write a really good song when he puts his mind to it and this is a product of that. This songs about I crazy fans obsession with a rap idol and his fan letters to this pop idol who won't answer his mail. I like this piece because its a story and Eminem tells i

5.  Happy by Pharell Williams
 It has minions need I say more.

6. Stacy's Mom by Fountains Of Wayne
I think this song has the strangest lyrics I have ever heard.  In the music video its a ten year old who's in love with his classmates mom who is four times his age. Its messed up but its catchy and kinda different so its going on here.

7. I'm Yours Jason Maraz
This song make no since whatsoever I am pretty sure that Jason Maraz was smoking  something while he was writing it, but it has a child like innocence and feeling to it which sets it apart from all these other songs.

8. Thrift Shop by Macklemore
I just like this song its so strange makes no sense and is a total hipster song but it's funny and really catchy, like really catchy.

14/31 sol love song rant part 2 (letter to taylor swift)

Dear Taylor Swift,
I enjoy some of your music and I think you have a good singing voice. I mean the following in the nicest way possible and this is not meant to hurt your feelings.

Lets start with the lyrics shall we

The lyrics in most of your songs has little to no meaning. It seems like you don't even try your songs can be represented by these three sentences.
"OMG your so hot will you be my boyfriend'
"OMG your the worst boyfriend ever I hate you"
"OMG I love you so much will you marry me"
( and yes the OMGs were necessary)
It's almost as if you date crush on somebody, write a song, date them, write a song, and break up with them and what do you do then YOU WRITE A SONG. It's a pattern and by the end you have an album. This is my theory on how Taylor Swift songs are made, actually it's not a theory it's a fact. All Taylor Swift songs are about your dumb break ups, and newsflash nobody cares.

Now we will move on to the songs in general.  I liked Taylor Swift songs when they first came out they were sweet and full of feeling songs like tear drops on my guitar, they are relatable and well written. Now let us move on to her current songs.

13/31/ love song rant

I am guessing at one time or another you've a heard or love song one time or another, on the radio, off the internet, or you've bought one from iTunes. I will agree that this does not apply to all love songs some are original and have some meaning to them. But a lot of love songs are pointless pity holes (Taylor Swift) that are put to a good tune so you buy them of iTunes and that artist can make millions of some dumb rant about how horrible or hot there love interest is. For example if someone came up to you and said
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe

If I were you I would probably leave as soon as I could. 
I do not think that all love songs should be shunned but the one that are dumb and have no meaning like this one:
We are never ever ever getting back together,
We are never ever ever getting back together,
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like, ever

(seriously Taylor if anyone is ever going to take you seriously you have to quit writing songs as pointless as this)

I hear the door ring and jump up ready to open it. The doorbell annoyingly chimes three more times and I know it's time for me to run I grab my laptop my charger and my book and run downstairs. I run into the exercise room that my dad asked for because he was going on a "diet" so now it's my hiding spot. I often use it to do homework, watch TV, and last and best of all hide from my evil cousin. As I open my laptop I hear the front door pulled open and hear her saying hi and asking where I am well the rest of her family let's themselves in and make themselves comfortable.
I hear her calling my name and walking around upstairs. I smile because I know she won't come down here she scared to death, all I had to do was tell her saw a mouse down here once for her to be terrified. I put my headphones back on and press play to the movie I was watching. I laugh because I know she would hate watching Top Gun with me and probably make me watch something dumb like
Barbie and her mermaid friends save the fairy princesses of unicornlandia
I smile as Tom cruse get promoted and they high five I don't see Alice walk in.
"Hey girl, how's it going I brought some movies lets ditch this place and watch them"
I give her a fake smile
" I would love too but I am watching Top Gun maybe later" I say
" OMG your the worst cousin ever. I hate you and like when that movie made 1960 whatever."
"1986" I say gritting my teeth
" Well anyways its a loser movie now lets watch something fun like… oh I know Barbie a Mermaid Tail"
I don't want to watch your dumb barbie a mermaid tail for the 33rd time I want to watch Top Gun alone without YOU
" Sure but don't you think thats a little old"
"Oh it never gets old you'll see"
ten minutes into the movie and I am wishing that the computer will go up into flames.
I get up fed up and start to walk away.
" Where are you going?"
"To get popcorn" I say not turning around
"Well hurry back she's about to turn into a mermaid"
at this point one thought is on my mind

After a few hours of attempting sleep I close my eyes and bite my lip and stay like that. The first few minutes is a struggle of keeping my eyes shut and then I slowly drift off into a dream…
I wake up in a house, this house isn't mine but for some reason I know I am at the top. I look out the window and see a deep pit that seems to never end. I walk down a spiral staircase that takes me to the bottom of the house and walk out the door.
There I see a girl her name is Carmen. She's wearing a knee length black skirt with a black hood I realize I am dressed in similar attire but with one small difference she has a silver chain around her neck with a red diamond I have the same necklace but mine has a small crack that for some reason I keep secret.
"Come on we will be late for temple" She grabs my arm and drags me away from my house. I realize that she is in black and white so is everything and then I realize that I have a slight pigment to my skin so slight that it was barley noticeable.
Carmen dragged me into a old broken down house where we go through a wood corridor we run down the corridor. It's dark but there's a faint light ahead. I notice that the wood has turned to to black stone with hyroglifics glowing red on the walls. We come to a room the same type of stone but this time it has a story. I some how knew the story it was of the girl who's crystal broke.
One day her crystal was busted open and she was given color. The people pushed her into the deep pit and she was never seen again.
I look around and realized that millions of people have gathered and are touching a glowing orange stone that stood on a pedestal in the middle of the room. everyone touched it then walked back down the corridor. I knew I couldn't touch it or they would know. I am not sure what they would know but they would know something they shouldn't.
I ran away people noticed and started reaching out to grab me but I pushed forward. Through the corridor, with people scratching me and trying to bring me to the stone. I ran to my house locked the front door and ran up the stairs I got to my room slammed the door and locked it I look out the window to see a angry mob of people coming to get me. I sit on my bed hyperventilating.
The crystal bursts. I look as it shatters in to millions of pieces. I watch the mob bang at my door.
The door gives way.
I scream and try to open the door to go down the backstairs and escape.
I unlock the door and try to open it, the door stays shut. I push it again but it won't open.
I hear the mob close by almost up the stairs. I look for another way out but nothing is available, nothing but… the window. I look out it down into pit bellow I cry but know I can't touch the stone.
I stand on the edge look out at the dark pit bellow in terror. I know I have no choice I take a deep breath bite my lip and…
I wake up in terror looking around at my surroundings.
it's my bedroom, just my bedroom
I sit up and tuck my knees to my chest and take a deep breath.
If it was hard sleeping before it will be impossible to sleep now
I lean back against the wall take a deep breath and lie down.

This book is pretty good. It has a nicely timed out pace and a interesting plot. This book is about a forensic sculptor whom discovers she's being targeted by the killer in one of her cases.

The flossing light with adds Buy Carlton's Toothpaste doctor recommended  or Try mcdonald's new cowboy burger.  It reminded me of a beehive, people scurrying around like the workers, advertisements telling them what to do as if they were commands from the queen bee.
I laugh as I picture the queen bee saying something ridiculous like "Buy Carlton's toothpaste and that's a order".  I smile one sat time at the thought and walk away scurry to catch a cab just like the other bees.

I am close to exhaustion we have hiked up the trail for the last hour and a half, its dark steep and hot and I feel like if I have to take another step I will collapse.
"Perfect" my grandmother says with a smile on her face.
My dad lays down the blanket on top of the grass and then lays another on top we have learned from experience that laying down just one blanket is a misery waiting to happen. Last year we tried that tactic but my grandma decide that year that the "perfect place to stop" was in the middle of a patch of rose bushes, a mistake made once, one time to many. This year we chose a spot closer to the top of the trail.
I plot down next to Jack and pop open a soda.
"Cheers" Jack say smiling
"To he fourth of July" he says
"To our country" I say
"And all that crap" we say together
Jack and I have a tradition of saying this before the fireworks every forth of July. We sip our soda and watch as the fireworks begin. The first one is small but soon they blanket the sky in color. I just sit there and watch until I fall asleep.

sol 1/31

I glance at the clock. 
12:08
I had given up sleeping a few hours ago and had been sitting in my bed alone confined to my own thoughts. I look out the window into the street. I lay back down wishing I had something to do. I glance out the window a second time and watch the snowflakes fall. I think of all the poems and word written involving snow. People talk about how beautiful snow is, and how gracefully it dances to the ground but to me, it's just snow, plain beautiful snow. 
Most people write about how beautiful the world is and ignore the things that are ugly. Like if someone called you a flower you would consider it a complement. But if someone called you a bull, like a bull you would charge at them completely unaware of there intent. 
I close my eyes roll over and hope I can get some sleep.
