Yes

Quote by Stephanie Johnson

Here is a quote that I think ties into The Glory Field.

"If we do not come together, right now on this field, we too, will be destroyed."

-Remember the Titans movie

This is the part where they go to Gettysburg and see all of the tombstones in the graveyard that was once a battlefield. Denzel Washington is the one who says this quote.

Mystery by Taylor Tomlinson

Unlike most, I have actually been watching the blog for more stuff to come out, but sadly, I've been disappointed. Here is a little poem I wrote in one of my bursts of inspiration.

A trick of the eye
Was it a passerby?
Or a ghostly hand
Reaching desperately for land?

Was it what I thought?
Something no one would've have sought?
Something so black and dangerous,
So dark and treacherous

I might faint from the fear
Of that very slight smear
Or was it just a passerby,
A mere trick of the eye?

Hello! -Alison Carter

I'm so glad that school's almost over and that CRT's are over! 8th graders still have a chance to go to Raging Waters! Wahoo! :)

a few words spoken by people:

"One of the most difficult things to give away is kindness, for it is usually returned."
-Mark Ortman

"Hey, this little kid gets roller skates. She puts them on. She stands up and almost flops over backwards. She sticks out a foot like she's going somewhere and falls down and smacks her hand. She grabs hold of a step to get up and sticks out the other foot and slides about six inches and falls and skins her knee. And then, you know what? She brushes off the dirt and the blood and puts some spit on it and then sticks out the other foot again."-Myra Con Livingston

Daddy- A poem by Jasmine Crespo

Okay people of Honors 8! We are getting LAZY! So stop whatever you are doing and BLOG!!!! School is almost over! We aren't going to be eighth graders anymore! So take advantage of the few days you have left! In the spirit of that, here is a poem:

"Daddy"- By Jasmine Crespo

Daddy would you be proud of me?

Of all the things I've done?

Daddy would you be proud of me?

Of your daughter who misses you a ton?

Would you clap at all the things I've done?

Cheer me on while I perform?

Sit in the front row?

Oh why did you have to go...

Daddy would you scare away?

All the boys who come to play?

They're just friends, but you'd tease.

Made me laugh with your joyful ease.

Daddy would you tell me?

The things I want to hear?

If only you were here.

Daddy would you be proud of me?

I did the thing I dreamed!

It was more spectacular then in my wildest dreams!

Daddy you were proud of me.

If I would only know it.

Because when you were around me,

I was too blind to see you show it.

Daddy are you proud of me?

Of how I asked you ,

If you were proud of me?

Daddy I ask this for I know the answer.

If you were here you would be proud.

You would tell me not to listen to the crowd.

To be the girl I want to be.

The girl inside who's really me.

Daddy why did I feel you there?

With others instead of you warm stare?

I'm not afraid of my dreams anymore.

I just wish you were here to say,

Daughter I'm so proud of you.

You turned out better than I dreamed.

I wish too that I could be there with you.

Daughter how did you turn out so good?

When I was oh so bad.

Why did I never say more how I was proud.

So daughter I'm so proud but saddened for you to say aloud.

Daddy are you proud of me?

Daddy are you proud of me?

Jokes by Dallas Anderson

Hey guys,

I was reading Stephanie's joke (which by the way is hilarious) and I started looking for other funny jokes. Here are some I've heard or that I got online:

A sincere marriage gift
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!" The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house.She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.Bob has been missing since Friday.


Only three doors
An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a lay over in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight. The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"


Two zebras pondering
Two zebras are talking and one asks the other, "Am I black with white stripes or white with black stripes?" The other replies, "Well I don't know. You should pray to God about that and ask him." So that night he did and God replied, "You are what you are." The next day he said to the other zebra, "I still don't understand what I am because God just said, You are what you are." The second zebra responds, "You must be white with black stripes or else God would have said, Yo is what yo is."
