“Shut up, I love you Spanish Girl.” It would be the last thing I would remember. Today I will go away forever and this is the last thing I will remember. An old homeless guy swung the baseball bat and I closed my eyes like the shutter of a camera just my eyes would never reopen. Time passes as I struggle in the alley until I finally let go. No ones there to watch me die so nobody can help me. It was the homerun swing that led this homeless man to happiness. I became what I finally wanted to be and that was somebody that would from start to end benefit somebody’s life. I can see him in court pleading his case saying he was only trying to defend himself. I see the light and I’m holding onto a rope that will keep me alive. I let go, I have spoken to the world and left my last remark on it. I have lived the life, it has not lived me. The water was finally clear to me. It is time to go. I go to the light, and away I fly. I carry onto heaven where the clouds are distant. The guard is Bernie Mac. He said to cheer up, your in a better place now. All I could say was that I was I had the courage to change the things I could, but I am sorry for the ones I couldn’t help. Bernie Mac for some reason did not seem the same. He lied comfortably on a golden cloud. He wasn’t ready to make a joke, it seemed like it was the retiring home. Then he said one last thing, have a doubt in fear. If you don’t, then you will always be afraid. Then I kept started to fly downward, like I was heading towards hell but I made a hard thud into my frozen body. Then my vision was affected by the sirens of the police cars that had arrived at the scene.

"Beautiful Girls" Song
Sean Kingston is one of my favorite artists. He wrote two songs that are both very good. Most people have heard of the first one because it was so popular. It is called “Beautiful Girls.” The second one is my favorite of the two; it is called “Me Love”. Unfortunately, Beautiful Girls has more personifications in it so will talk about it. But first, Sean Kingston is one of my favorite artists because everything he sings about is from deep down. It is always touching. Also, it is very calm and relaxing music. I like to listen to rap usually but when I need to relax I listen to Sean Kingston because he is so soft in his music.
The song “Beautiful Girls” has two lines that are personification. First is “Oh when you took my heart that’s when we fell apart.” Somebody can’t literally take away somebody’s heart. The significance of this line is that it is talking about love and it is expressing a break up. I think it means that he really didn’t have a say in the break up. She may have been cheating on Sean Kingston meaning that she “took his heart away.” This left him no choice resulting in the break up meaning they “fell apart.” With a song like this, I’m sure there are other girls out there for him.
The second line of personification is “But you mush up my mind.” Again, whoever she is, she can’t mush up his mind literally. All it really means is that Sean Kingston was getting confused. This meant that she was changing constantly to him. She was nice and then she was tired and annoyed and she was never the same. She was acting abnormally as if something else was going on. The cheating is what I think was going on. The fact that she was acting awkwardly and was mysteriously having to leave was confusing him. No matter how you break down the song and figure out what it means, it is still a very good song.

Ny Name stanks!
Justin means righteous and Sunseri means a pork butcher or a renderer of lard,
What kind of a name is Justin? I mean Sunseri isn’t any better but the combination of both is even worse. Justin Sunseri. What the hell. Oh, I forgot my middle name, Mark, Justin Mark Sunseri. If you just say Justin Sunseri, you almost stutter. Well, at least I do. But when you put Mark in the middle of it, you pause to say it. I hate it.
Oh, I almost forgot, my grandparents think they are so cute and funny but they just give me something else to be mad and upset about. They came up with the idea of just-in-time, which isn’t even catchy. But they got even smarter and even cuter when they realized they could put my brothers name into it. His name is Nicholas. So, the phrase became just-in-the-nick-of-time. How depressing could my name get? Even worse!
The meanings are even better. Justin means righteous which is okay I guess. But, my middle name is Mark which I didn’t necessarily hate until I heard what it meant. It means dedicated to Mars. That’s really weird and awful. But it still isn’t the worst of my name. My last name, Sunseri, means probably the most ridiculous thing in the world. It means a pork butcher or to render lard. What is going on? My day was ruined when I figured out what it meant.
I think the story behind all of this is my parents hate me. I was born and they thought this little thing is going to ruin our lives. So, to get back at me, they made this horrific combination of a name that I would have to live with. But I guess it is kind of cool. Its what makes me me. Nobody else has this name, so I guess it is kind of cool.

CHANGE with OBAMA
Since Obama is president, change will most definitely occur. What I would like to see change would be the tax prices, the unemployment rate, and gas prices. If he really is going to lead a revolution, then he could change the small things as well as the important things. The tax prices are very high and I think that they should be lowered. The unemployment rate also is very high. Gas prices have sky rocketed since this war has started. Some change is definitely necessary and Obama is the man to make it happen.
Tax prices are paid pretty often. Every time you get paid at a job, you are taxed. Chances are that every time you reach into your wallet, it is going to cost you extra on whatever you are buying because there is some sort of tax on it. They are everywhere. For them to be so high is almost ridiculous. I wish I new where all of this money was going. If Obama is the man for the United States than taxes should be the first thing he deals with.
The unemployment rate is huge in America. So many poor people need jobs but they can’t find a job. I feel that Obama should be making more jobs available for these unfortunate people. There needs to be some sort of small jobs available for anybody that needs to acquire money. The fewer jobs there are available, the more people there will be that will become poor. If the change is made, the less poverty there is in America.
Gas prices will be declining since Obama is going to be president. They became so high from the war. We got our oil from Iraq and since we are at war with them, they raised the prices on us. Lately the price has become lower but they still aren’t low enough. Somehow, there needs to be a better way to get our oil that will cost less. Hopefully, Obama will find a way to make everything cheaper.
It really shouldn’t be an issue with Obama (a black man) as our president. So what if it isn’t the usual white man. It is something different, just like what this country needs. We needed change and everything about him meant change. He has promised so much change. Wait till he enters office. We will see if he is all talk or not. If he keeps his promises, I think this country has a bright future ahead of us.
