Can We Be Friends

 No sharp-edged words will fall from me,

No need to dim your light so I can be

A little brighter, seen a little more.

A chance to speak with you, that I implore.



A masterpiece, a vision, divinely spun,

A truth you hold within, unknown, unseen,

Unless I find the strength to bridge the gap,

And voice the wonder held inside my map.



My tongue is tied, a knot within my chest,

The very thought of speaking puts me to the test.

Your voice, a melody, a current I could ride,

Intelligent words, a captivating tide.



Poised and charismatic, a refreshing breeze,

First, beauty caught my eye, if you would please

Forgive that shallowness, for deeper lies the truth,

It's in your heart, your mind, a captivating proof.



Outer beauty fades, a fleeting, fragile thing,

But inner brilliance makes the spirit sing.

I cannot let this moment slip away,

I need more time to find the words to say.



To be myself, or wear a polished mask?

First impressions, are they the hardest task?

If truth is veiled, a charade put on display,

Then what is real, and what will truly stay?



So patiently I'll wait, observe, and see,

Prepare my thoughts before approaching thee.

I understand you might reject me outright,

So mind will lead, and heart will guide my light.



Is this love's first spark, a sudden, vibrant flame?

On understanding you, that all depends, it seems.

And in this fledgling dawn, my whispered prayer ascends,

That friendship fir

st might bloom, and perhaps love transcends.

Discovery Island: A Scary Story

The sun beat down on the turquoise waters of Bay Lake, the sparkle almost mocking the secrets hidden within. Most guests at Disney World, blissfully unaware, only saw the monorail gliding by, headed towards Cinderella's Castle. But squint hard enough, and you could just make out a verdant, overgrown lump in the middle of the lake - Discovery Island. It had been a vibrant place once, a botanical paradise teeming with exotic birds and curious creatures. Families flocked there, eager to marvel at the flamingos, the toucans, and the playful alligators lazing in the sun. Discovery Island was a jewel in the Disney crown, a tangible escape from the manufactured magic of the parks. Then, in 1999, it simply...vanished. Not literally, of course. The island remained, but the tourists disappeared, the staff vanished, the animals were relocated, and the gates were locked. No official explanation was ever given, just hushed whispers and unsettling rumors. Some said diseases had ravaged the anima...

Kevin Hart

 I don't find Kevin Hart to be funny. I do understand why people think he's funny, I just don't. I do like most of the movies he's in ok. I wonder how he really is in real life.

Animal Planet

  In the year 2045, the world had reached a crescendo of technology and humanity's connection to nature had deepened. Cities thrived with towering skyscrapers, lush vertical gardens, and automated systems that kept parks pristine. People often found themselves lost in their screens, oblivious to the simple wonders of life that thrived just outside their doors. But it was in this lull that mankind would face its most staggering revelation. It began as the usual hum of daily life, punctuated by strange occurrences. Pets acted oddly, showing signs of intelligence beyond the normal bounds of animal behavior. A dog named Max had suddenly begun arranging his toys in elaborate patterns, while Mia the cat intercepted signals from the Wi-Fi network as if she were deciphering an ancient language. These were small oddities that sparked momentary curiosity but soon faded from the daily concerns of life. But then one Friday, the skies darkened in a peculiar manner. A cosmic storm, unlike any we...
