|Colonialist Oppression in "Marrakech" - "Marrakech," an essay by George Orwell, accomplishes a key balance by providing descriptive imagery, literal and direct views that are presented through the diction, and transitioning the narrator from one setting to the next. This balance allows the reader to fully grasp Orwell's intent of showing the reader that colonialism has corrupted the views of the white society, leading to their lack of acknowledgement of any dignity that the most unfortunate people in humanity may have. Orwell is clearly trying to get a point across to the reader, and he wants to make a lasting impression with it.... [tags: European Literature]

The Lie of Imperialism Exposed in Literature -
If postcolonial literature is the "process of dialogue and necessary correction," of misconceptions concerning colonialism, then a comparative study of colonial and postcolonial works is essential for attaining a full understanding of the far-reaching effects of European imperialism (Groden and Kreiswirth 582). Reading colonial literature in dialogue with postcolonial literature engenders a more complete interpretation of the effects of imperialism by creating a point of reference from which to begin the revelation and the healing of cultural wounds resultant from European colonialism....

|Things Fall Apart - Things Fall Apart Things Fall Apart was published in 1958. Its fundamental theme, in Achebe's words, is "that African people did not hear of culture for the first time from Europeans." It is a celebration of the depth, value, and beauty of tribal society. Also of the "dignity that African people all but lost during the colonial period. This novel has been translated into over forty languages and has sold well over three million copies. The title of this novel is taken from a W.B.

|The Immortality and Blindness to a Dark Continent - The Immortality and Blindness to a Dark Continent Joseph Conrad's s novel "Heart of Darkness" portrays an image of Africa that is dark and inhuman. Not only does he describe the actual, physical continent of Africa as "so hopeless and so dark, so impenetrable to human thought, so pitiless to human weakness", (Conrad 2180) as though the continent could neither breed nor support any true human life. Conrad lived through a time when European colonies were scattered all over the world. This phenomenon and the doctrine of colonialism bought into at his time obviously influenced his views at the time of "Heart of Darkness" publication....

|Pepe le Moko - Julien Duvivier's film "Pépé le Moko" is a remarkable story, and a powerful personal account of French colonial life. The socio-political subtext of the story is an important one, which brings to the forefront the particular allure of Casbah and the idiosyncrasies of its inhabitants. This subtext of the narrative connotes the desire and fascination with the exotic. Jean Gabin's character is a thief, who while running from the law becomes immersed in the maze of the city of Casbah. In light of Edward Said's ideas of Orientalism, specifically in terms of the cultural exchanges that take place in the affiliation of colonialism, the foreign element (as an "other") can become a model with which Western civilization defines itself....

Aime Cesaire's A Tempest Clarifies Shakespeare's The Tempest -
Cesaire's A Tempest Clarifies Shakespeare's The Tempest "Negritude, originally a literary and ideological movement of French-speaking black intellectuals, reflects an important and comprehensive reaction to the colonial situation of European colonization" (Carlberg). This movement, which influenced Africans as well as blacks around the world, specifically rejects the political, social, and moral domination of the West. Leopold Senghor, Leon Damas, and Aime Cesaire are the three pioneers of the revolution. The founder who expresses his ideas more broadly, though, is Cesaire, who uses literary works to express his viewpoint on colonization. An excellent example of such a tactic is his play, A Tempest, which is a revision of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Both Shakespeare and Cesaire accentuate the greed of Europeans in their plays. However, Cesaire is more obvious in his approach to exposing it. A comparison of the two plays demonstrates that Cesaire's version, written in the late 1960's, is written as a confrontation of Shakespeare's play. He is attempting to comment on the corruption of Colonialism and the European domination of the New World through such strategies as making seemingly minor changes, switching the main character role, and altering the storyline itself....

Light and Dark in Heart of Darkness -
Light and Dark in Heart of Darkness The brightest of lights can obscure vision while darkness can contain truths: one must not be distracted by the sheen of light, which conceals the deeper reality present in darkness. Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness illustrates this idea with the use of several symbols. White Europeans are used as symbols of self-deception, and objects with an alabaster quality are symbols of barriers to inner truth. Black is the foil of white; it represents the inner truth beneath the white surface reality.... [tags: Heart Darkness essays]

Kitson argue that few scholars explicate the relationship between Romantic texts, British colonialism, and imperialism. Fulford and Kitson point out that the "Romantic period is a watershed in colonial history," marking the inception of a British empire based on the political philosophy of the "white man's burden" (3). By reading Romantic texts in the historical and political context of colonialism and imperialism, Fulford and Kitson hope to return Romantic texts "to the context of material, colonial processes contemporaneous with their imagined versions of colonized people and places" (9)....

Revealing the Heart of Darkness in Apocalypse Now -
Revealing the Heart of Darkness in Apocalypse Now Often a novel filmed as a movie departs from the original story, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. However, many great works of literature have inspired movies, and served as the basis for a great film, even though the film may approach the literature in a different way. Such is the case with Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, which was inspired by Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Coppola and the screenwriter, John Mileus, took a story written nearly eighty years earlier and used its basic theme of the inner darkness of man and the idea of the journey up a river into the unknown to tell a story about one of the darkest, most confusing chapters of American history: the Vietnam War. Coppola's alterations to Heart of Darkness serve to exemplify his overall point, namely, that the United States' involvement in Vietnam was itself a descent into the "heart of darkness". Coppola was able to make a movie with such a theme for an American audience that was still dealing with Vietnam. The movie came out five years after the last troops finally left Vietnam, and the American public was still asking itself what had been accomplished and why we had been involved, while the troops who had served there were haunted by memories of the horrors they had seen, and were left wondering what it had all been worth as well. Coppola found a story in Heart of Darkness that dealt with the same issues of darkness and confusion, and he applied them to Vietnam to accomplish the task of demonstrating the darkness that was the Vietnam War. Coppola uses the basic plot structure and theme of Heart of Darkness to convey a message that America was wrong in the Vietnam War, and he comes to the disturbing conclusion that the only way to win a war is to be as ruthless as Kurtz, a message which differs from Conrad's Kurtz but still draws from the theme of the heart of darkness....

Roosevelt proposed a trusteeship principle, in which the subjugated nations of Asia would prepare themselves for self-government, under the supervision of the imperial nations. FDR had 'genuine humanitarian principles'[1] and was aware of the conditions under which colonial people sometimes lived. He also realised that the colonial system was detrimental to US interests.

Ethics of Affirmative Action -
Affirmative Action: Staying on the Road to Equality "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" (Declaration of Independence, 1776). Who would imagine that in a country under the blanket such a brilliant, ethical and proud statement of equality, there could be so much dissention about equality. Our nation has interpreted this statement differently since it was written, and still, more than two hundred years later, we are on the road to a truly equal society.... [tags: Ethics Morals]

|Code-switching: An Essential Skill For Bilinguals - Language is the primary way to communicate, learn and express identity. People, who have native-like control of two or more languages or are simply bilingual, establish their identity through code-switching. Code-switching refers to using more than language or variety in conversation. Code-switching is an essential skill for bilinguals. People with mixed cultural identity require the proficiency in code-switching to show loyalty to more than one cultural or social group. The need to learn code-switching can arise from a variety of situations where people are required to become bilingual.... [tags: Language]

It "underlines the fact that colonialism made its impact on bodies and minds, as well as on material conditions" (Waugh 346).

Here, the issue of textuality is raised; while politically, the protection of American countries by the United States suggests a benevolent intention, the idea that America had indirect authority over its neighbors indicates an imperialistic social context that Professor X ignores. Monroe explains that, "only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced [do] we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense," and if this holds true, then the basic foreign policy decisions stipulated throughout the Doctrine suggest that maintaining and preserving the Americas from colonialism was an inherent American political "right." Similarly, if America held this power to be an inherent right, then the inhabitants of these potentially colonized nations received little agency within this international equation....

Images of Africa in Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart -
Images of Africa in Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness portrays an image of Africa that is dark and inhuman. Not only does he describe the actual, physical continent of Africa as "so hopeless and so dark, so impenetrable to human thought, so pitiless to human weakness" (Conrad 94), as though the continent could neither breed nor support any true human life, but he also manages to depict Africans as though they are not worthy of the respect commonly due to the white man. At one point the main character, Marlow, describes one of the paths he follows: "Can't say I saw any road or any upkeep, unless the body of a middle-aged negro, with a bullet-hole in the forehead, upon which I absolutely stumbled three miles farther on, may be considered as a permanent improvement" (48). Conrad's description of Africa and Africans served to misinform the Western world, and went uncontested for many years.... [tags: comparison compare contrast essays]

Heart of Darkness - Reform Piece or Racist Trash. In 1890, Joseph Conrad spent four months as a steamship captain in the Congo. Like his character Marlow, Conrad became both physically ill and greatly disturbed as a result of his experiences. The Congo haunted Conrad, and despite the fact that he spent relatively little of his time there, he felt compelled to write about his experiences years later.1 Indeed, the Congo had a profound influence on Conrad.

Common to all three epics is a plot structure that involves a protagonist who longs for home but who must first endure a life-altering change before he returns.

What is the one thing that every new student should bring to campus?
Personal goals! Come up with a list of achievements you want to make during your time here at WKU, and hold yourself accountable! Sometimes promises to yourself can be the hardest to keep. Don't forget why you're here
Tips you would give students about getting involved are:
Keep your eyes and ears open to information about campus groups, organizations etc. Don't be afraid to attend an informational meeting. If you find you want to join, great; if not, keep looking. There's something for everyone here!
Other campus organizations in which you are involved:
WKU Housing and Residence Life
Phi Upsilon Omicron
One piece of advice you would give an incoming freshman:
Have fun! As much of it as you can…but not at the expense of your education. Every class, every semester counts. Don't rely on having "4 more years" to fix grades that are less than ideal. Bringing a GPA up can be hard work, so start off strong! This is the year that sets the tone for your College career, make it one you're proud of!

Word on these mean Internet streets is that Rozay just signed Omarion to Maybach Music.

Birdman and Lil' Wayne are not the only ones signing established acts. Rick Ross has been busy putting together a dream team of his own. In the past year he we have seen him sign Meek Mill and Wale to Maybach Music Group, becoming one of the hottest label crew's in hip hop. Well it looks like Rozay isn't finished.
Word on the street is, Omarion is next to sign to Maybach Music Group. Last night, The R&B singer was seen on stage at Rozay's concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
In 2009, Omarion signed a deal with YMCMB but rumors surfaced that he was dropped. Later Omarion responded to the rumors, stating that he asked to be released from the deal. After seeing the success Young Money is having, I am sure he had some regrets. If this rumor of Signing with Maybach Music Group is true, I guess Omarion will no longer have any regrets since Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group are at the top of their game at the moment.
I see said the blind man. And now…
Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

Albany-- Don't be alarmed if you wake up to find a strange sign in your front yard. It'll give you the chance to help those in need.
The Southwest Georgia Food Bank just started a creative, new program called "You've Been Sacked by the Food Bank."
A big sign shaped like a sack is placed in unsuspecting people's yards. They then have to pay to have it removed. The program will raise money to feed people in 22 Southwest Georgia counties.
Food Bank Board Member Sam Shugart was first to be sacked. He now has to pay up.
"It's $35 to actually have the sign removed the first time. It's $50 to have it removed and to designate another yard and it's $100 to do both of those as well as buy the sacked insurance for a year," said Shugart.
Sacked insurance protects you from being sacked again. Shugart says he has a few people in mind who may wake up with a sack in their yard soon.

It's not a secret that I love the Hipstamatic. If it weren't for the novelty of my d-slr, it would probably be my go-to camera. Here's a quick DIY for cute Hipstaprint notepads (aka "Hipstabooks") that are great for tossing in your purse or giving as gifts… in fact, I'm giving one away to our Blog Better Challenge winner! Check out the tutorial after the jump…
1. Â Assemble your supplies:
- Hipstaprints (mine are 4×4″)
- Cutting tools (I use a rotary cutter + ruler, but you can use a paper slicer if you have one)
- Pages, cut to match the size of your photos
- Cardboard, also cut to fit your photo
- Printable labels
- Label maker – I use my Xyron for almost everything; got it for <$10.
- Binding machine and binding wire
2. Affix a label to your photo
3. Â Stack the photo, pages, and cardboard backing the way it will be bound.
(At this point, if you don't have a binding machine, head on down to Kinko's or OfficeMax- they'll be able to bind it for a few bucks.)
4. Follow the directions for your binding machine (mine is a Zutter Bind-It-All) and punch holes in your cover and pages. Make sure you aren't punching more at one time than it can handle, and double and triple check to make sure everything lines up!
5. Thread your binding wire through the holes. Make sure you follow the directions for your particular machine to ensure the binding ends up in the right place!
6. Smoosh it. Again, this is probably machine dependent and it's important to follow the directions!
7. Admire your book*!
Easy! Obviously, there are a hundred ways this could be customized. Do something fabulous and show me!
*Yes, I did notice in the photo that step 7 is actually labeled 8. Â Oops.

[Just Push Play]3 Reviews
One man's reality is another man's nightmare.
[Just Push Play]
Just one more time.
Ray, Mikey, Frank, and Gerard all sat with each other at a Starbucks bench outside. They always went to Starbucks every Sunday. The summer sun beat down on them like rain. It was cooler than most summer days, but it was still hot.
"Hey, Gerard. Did you listen to that new Green Day song? They totally topped the charts! They're getting more attention than that rap crap! " Frank asked. They have been sitting in silence for the past ten minutes, just sipping their drinks, and it was killing Frank. He needs some socialization now.
"No, Frank. For the billionth time, no. I did not listen to it." Gerard sighed. He just wanted to sit and enjoy his drink. But Frank always has to make noise and have his attention.
"Oh…" All Frank wants is Gerard's attention. Nobody else's.
Frank is highly determined to win over Gerard's attention. He isn't in love with Gerard. He isn't in love with anyone. In fact, Frank is pretty sure he doesn't even feel love at all. It's just that, Gerard has something to him.
Fact: every living organism has an aura. Gerard just has a different kind of aura to Frank.
The next day, Frank walked into the Way house.
"Hey, Gerard, I…" Frank was interrupted by Mikey.
"HOLYFUCKGETTHEFUCKOUTOFHERE!" Mikey screeched.
Frank screamed in reply to Mikey. Once they both calmed down, Frank said:
"Dude, are you okay? What the fuck is with the screaming?"
"Some lady who looked just like Alicia was walking around throwing cats at people. Probably rabid cats." Mikey shivered at the memory. All the horror!
"Eww. I hate cats. I'm more of a dog person." Frank said. He would probably freak out if he saw that. Cats are not his friend.
"I know that."
"Hey, do you wanna hear my new song I wrote?" Frank squeaked. He originally wrote it for Gerard, but Gerard isn't here. So Mikey will have to listen.
"I guess so." Frank pulled out his cell phone to play the recording for Mikey. The song was about two minutes long. It didn't have the usual, super cool riffs that Frank normally plays. It sounded different. It was boringly slow, yet excitingly fast at the same time. It was one of those songs that makes you think when you listen to it.
"Um… wow. That is good." Mikey Way was at loss for words. He didn't know how to describe it. In fact, he didn't even know if he even liked the song at all.
"You really like it!?" Frank beamed as Mikey fed his ego.
Frank walked over to the local comic book store, where Ray, Gerard, and Mikey were waiting.
"Hey, guys!" Frank greeted. The other three grinned and greeted him back. "What's new?"
"Nothing much. My mom gave me twenty dollars to buy lunch later." Ray commented. Frank grinned. He loved it when Ray bought lunch. He was always so generous – he didn't force him to eat off the dollar menu; it wasn't go cheap or go home with Ray… Unlike the Way brothers.
A loud smash was heard. It sounded like a gunshot shattering glass. They looked over to find the glass window gone. A person was hovering over the mess while holding an old fashion television set. They boys each whispered "shit" to each other as the security alarms went off.
The person soon fell to the floor, rambling nonsense about the bible, reality, and bullets.
It was now Sunday afternoon, which only meant one thing. Starbucks.
"Hey, Gerard, do you wanna hear…" Frank was interrupted by Gerard,
"No." Gerard was just sitting at the table, playing on his cell phone like a teenage girl. Why can't he just take two minutes out of his day to pay attention to Frank?
Frank just wants to be heard…
"Dude… look!" Ray shouted quietly. He pointed table to a young couple sitting at their own table, eating something. The female wore a black T-shirt with a red X on it; the male wore a white T-shirt with one black stripe going across it. "What are they eating?"
Frank ignored the couple and Ray. He just continued to stare at his untied shoe lace, while sipping his drink sadly.
Frank noticed that Gerard gave the couple his attention; he wasn't staring at the cell phone anymore. Instead, Gerard looked confused. Scared even.
Gerard narrowed in his eyes – the two people were eating something hard. A … book? It had fake leather around it. Small white and black pages of paper were floating around the people.
That wasn't any ordinary book. It was a bible. The two people were eating a bible!?
"Are they actually eating a bible?" Gerard asked.
"What is that on their table?" Mikey asked back. On their table, beside their drinks, was another bible, and something black. It wasn't a book… but a gun. "Why are they eating a bible? Why do they have a gun!? Are they gonna eat that too!?"
"I don't know…" Gerard replied. The two people soon sensed that they were being stared at. They had too much attention.
They stared back at Gerard with evil in their eyes. The female grabbed the bible that was on the table. The male grabbed the gun that was on the table. Two seconds later, a gunshot went through the bible that she was holding.
"We should go." Mikey whispered. And they four boys were gone.
Later on, they found themselves at Frank's house. The boys were getting ready for a sleepover. This was great for Frank; he would finally get the chance to play his song to Gerard. Maybe Gerard will give Frank the attention he needed. That'll work. It will.
"Hi, Gee." Frank said. He has got to play it subtle. Cool. Slow.
"Hi, Frank." Gerard replied. He wasn't glued to his cell phone like usual. He probably thought that would be extra rude.
"Guys, look at the news!" Ray shouted. He and Mikey were staring at the television. The news channel was on.
"Holy fuck." Thousands of people were running around a giant building, each of them carrying something in their hands. One lady had a cat. Another person had a stick. Everybody had something different in their hands. Chaos would be an understatement.
"Wasn't Green day supposed to play their concert today?" Mikey asked Ray, who shrugged.
"I think so."
"Hey, Gerard did you –" Frank asked, but stopped in mid-sentence. He doesn't know why he stopped. He just stopped.
Two weeks have gone past. Things on Earth aren't right. The people seemed to go crazy. Mental. Insane. Nobody really acts how they normally would. They would go and smash stuff, like windows and cars. They would go and rob any store they wanted as if there weren't any consequences. Some people even walked around the streets naked.
Maybe they were turning into zombies. But that wasn't true; they still had a heart that works. They were all living and breathing. They weren't zombies. The people… they were just… insane.
The worst part of everything, Frank was gone. They three boys haven't seen Frank for two weeks.
Oh, how much Gerard missed him. Gerard missed him so much that his heart hurt more than usual. Gerard wished that he would have listened to Frank's stupid song instead of pretending to play on a boring phone. Gerard wishes that he had Frank's attention. Gerard misses Frank's attention so much. He isn't in love with Frank; it's just that Frank has a special aura to him.
Gerard, Mikey, and Ray were all walking around the streets at about three in the morning. None of them were able to sleep. At all. Ray was able to sleep, but that had stopped after a little incident with Mikey. About a week ago, while Ray was asleep, Mikey had cut off Ray's curly fro because he can't pull off straight hair.
Ever since that had happened, Ray started wearing hats. Mikey, for some odd reason, started carrying a bible with him everywhere he goes.
"Do you guys feel that?" Gerard asked. A cold misty rain sensation was coming from their left side. It wasn't raining at all. The water sounded like it was processed. The boys all looked over to see a tiny, pale, dark haired male getting naked. He was standing under a hose – that explains that water. He must be taking a shower.
"Holy shit." They all gaped like fish. It was Frank! "Frank! Frank!" Gerard shouted. Frank could clearly hear him speaking, but he still ignored him.
"Frank!" Ray shouted. Frank jolted around and grinned. When Frank did turn around, he had a painted on black X over his chest.
"Hi, Ray!" Frank waved brightly.
"Oh, Frankie! I have been so worried about you!" Gerard shouted. He rushed over to give Frank a tight hug. "I wrote a song for you while you were gone. It's called "Kill All Your Friends." I really want you to hear it!"
"Kill All Your Friends, huh? That sounds very neat." Frank grinned. Gerard grinned back.
"I played the song for Ray, but Ray said that it was too hard and complicated for a song." Gerard said.
"Oh really?" Frank asked.
"Yeah, Ray said that he had to think about the song at first." Gerard added. Frank "I also played the song for Mikey. Mikey said that he really, really loved it. Thinking is good for the brain. Mikey is so smart."
"Is Mikey really that smart? Are you sure?" Frank asked. "Mikey!" He called out to Mikey, "are you really smart?"
"I think that I like, and I like hot. Straight. Bent. In a circle. Pierced." Mikey replied. When Gerard and Frank both looked at him, Ray had disappeared. He was gone out of sight.
Frank could see the way Gerard was eyeing Mikey. He could see it. It had to stop.
Frank walked closely up to Gerard, and reached into his front pocket. Next, he pulled out something small, but heavy, and metal. It was a gun. Frank waved it in the air, and aimed it at Mikey.
The trigger was pulled, and Mikey was knocked to the floor. The bullet went to Mikey's heart.
Gerard didn't even flinch. He didn't even care that Frank had just shot Mikey. But that wasn't the weird part to this.
The weird thing is no blood was spilled. Mikey was totally clean. No redness was seen. Nothing.
A couple minutes later, Mikey said, "oww. Damn it, Frank. That really fucking hurt." Mikey stood up from his spot on the ground, dusting off his pants.
Maybe they were turning into zombies. But that wasn't true; they still had a heart that works. They were all living and breathing.
Mikey wasn't a zombie. His heart still works. He was living and breathing. He was… they all were… insane.
"Good." Frank said in reply to Mikey.
"Now I have to get a new bible." Mikey complained with a huff. He pulled out of his front jacket pocket, a bible. "This one is totally ruined… ruined… ruined."
Frank felt something tug at his heart. It wasn't love.
Gerard felt something tug at his heart. It wasn't love either.
Mikey let out a loud screech, obviously in pain. Black smoke started flying everywhere like ashes.
Then Mikey was gone.
Frank walked over to where Mikey's ashes lay, and picked up his bible.
Gerard woke up in his bed with a jolt. His mouth hung wide open. He tried to recall what had happened last night. He got home after a light night with Frank, then he listened to some music – Green Day to be exact – then he went to bed. Now, he just woke up.
And it was all just a dream. None of that had actually happened.
Gerard let out a loud, relieved, shaky breath. His hands were shaking slightly. He looked over at the clock: noon. And it's a Sunday. Sunday is Starbucks day.
Gerard arrived at their usual Starbucks table twenty minutes later. The sky was dark and grey; it was going to rain today. He saw that Frank was already at the table, but nobody else was there. Good. They must be late, or Frank is just early.
"Hey." Gerard greeted. He noticed that Frank had his jacket wrapped up on the table.
"Hey, dude, what's up?" Frank replied.
"Nothing much, you?" Gerard asked. Frank handed him a small cup full of coffee. That is why Gerard loved Frank so much.
"Same. Hey, Gerard, did you listen to the new Green Day song yet? They totally topped the charts!" Gerard loved how enthusiastic Frank was about good music. That was why Gerard loved Frank. He loved that Frank is willing to show him this much attention. He loved that other people could only hear Frank, while he could feel Frank. He could feel that Frank only wanted to be heard.
"Yeah, I was listening to it last night! It was such a great song! It had so much meaning and story behind it. Like, you hear it for the first time and it leaves you hanging. Then you listen to it again, and… it, the song, Green Day, they just made me stop and think." Gerard replied, happily.
"I know, right? Green Day just sends out a great message. Like, they want you to hear what they are saying. Their music isn't too complicated either. It's just…" Frank said, and Gerard finished:
"Perfect. They're perfect. Like you." Frank blushed so hard.
After a few more minutes, Green day started playing. Gerard reached out in his pocket, and shut his cell phone off.
"What was that?"
"Just my alarm clock." Gerard said, tossing his phone back into his pocket.
"You have your alarm on now?" Frank giggled. Gerard blushed and shrugged.
A few more minutes of silence went past. The quietness was starting to kill Gerard slowly. He wanted to interact with Frank right now. He had to.
"I had the weirdest dream last night." Frank looked up. He didn't look concerned, scared, confused, or anything. Gerard continued, "you were in it. Everybody was in it. Actually, you killed Mikey. In my dream."
Frank continued to stare at Gerard.
Frank soon, stood up from his chair. He grabbed his jacket and unfolded it. He placed something hard right in front of Gerard. It was small, but dense, and torn.
Gerard looked down. There lay on the table, a book. It had fake leather, and dust on it. It was a bible. But not any old bible…
A bullet in a bible.
Gerard looked up, but Frank was gone. He had disappeared. The only two things that were on his mind were confusion, and Green day's latest chart topping song.
He only wanted to be heard…
*Author grins deeply*
In case I didn't make that clear enough, Green Day made every body go insane. All though, while My Chem makes me go insane, I enjoy every second of it.
Review this, and then go watch Bullet In A Bible. Then go watch In The Mouth Of Madness.

Reaction to Paul Kelly's firing as executive director of the NHLPA continues, more than two weeks after his early morning dismissal in a Chicago boardroom.
NHL player agents J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson of CAA Hockey have tried to make sense of Kelly's fall, specifically the process in which it unfolded, to help the players they represent understand the sudden change in union leadership.
However, Brisson and Barry who represent a number of NHL stars including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Patrick Kane, Dany Heatley, Daniel Briere and Mats Sundin, plus NHLPA executive board members, Robyn Regehr, Shawn Horcoff and Maxime Talbot, believe the "process" in which Kelly was fired was flawed.
The veteran player agents today issued a statement, outlining their concerns.
"We have had numerous discussions with our clients and other players around the League regarding the dismissal of Paul Kelly as Executive Director of the NHLPA. Some of the things we have learned about the process are very troubling to us. We are encouraging each of our clients to educate themselves with union matters so they can understand how these types of decision are reached. We believe that a strong and unified voice is necessary. In order for that to happen, the majority of players must be heard." - J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson, CAA Hockey
On Friday, Crosby released a statement to ESPN expressing his concern.
"I would just say that I agree with Pat's comments and that I definitely want to know how things happened," Crosby told ESPN. "I am part of the union like every other player and I think we all deserve a good explanation."
Add veteran defenceman Rob Blake's name to the list of NHL players eager to learn more about Paul Kelly's firing and why the PA's full membership wasn't included in such a significant shift in leadership.
"I don't think we can make decisions of that magnitude without complete involvement," Blake told TSN.
"It's going to take further discussion and investigation, but the timing was questionable. Had they (executive board) waited a few more weeks, teams would have been in camp and the players would have been easily accessible," Blake added.
Blake applauds Sidney Crosby and any young player who steps forward in search of information.
"They have a lot to gain from the players association and many of them will control the league. Crosby and other young stars need to understand and have their voices heard, so this is nice to see."
The current NHLPA constitution doesn't require the full memberships involvement.
The vote to dethrone Paul Kelly was determined by the 30 NHL player reps who make up the PA's executive board.
Veteran NHL defenceman Chris Chelios is a member of the executive board and he echoes Brisson and Barry's issues with how Kelly was let go.
"I agree that our abrupt vote was questionable without being able to explain our position to our teammates," Chelios told TSN.
"But, at the end of the day, we had advisors and PA staff and not once did they say...we need to wait. There's no doubt the procedure was questionable," Chelios added.
Chelios says his Red Wings teammates were very unhappy over the fact they weren't consulted before the board made it's move.
"As a player rep, my role is to gather information and report back to my team. Following that I speak to the board on behalf of my team and in this case, we didn't do that."
Chelios acknowledges he played a key role in bringing Paul Kelly in to the players association and recognizes the vote to have him fired included 22 in favour of the change; a sound majority.
However, his experience tells him more time was needed to make such a significant decision.
"We've been down this road before. We should have been more patient,"Chelios concluded.
Chelios believes the NHLPA may require some structural changes to give the next executive director more flexibility to do his job.
But Toronto Maple Leafs player representative Matt Stajan is confident the executive board made the right decision based on the facts of the situation.
"We had everything laid out in front of us," Stajan told AM640 Radio in Toronto on Friday. "I'm fully confident we made the right decision. I don't think anything I hear can change that."

Mirko Reisser
ERROR: Content Element type "cce_centerpaging" has no rendering definition!
The complex 3D style of Mirko Reisser, aka DAIM, is still today the signature feature of the Lueneburg-born artist, who has since the early 1990s been among the most active and notable of the German graffiti activists. After having pursued a degree in Fine Arts at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland, Mirko Reisser (DAIM) returned to his Northern German homeland, while, at the same time, making a name for himself through various solo and group exhibitions on both national and international scales. Counting among his significant activties have been his roles as co-initiator of the legendary Urban Discipline 2002 project and as editor of the eponymous publication.To date, Mirko Reisser (DAIM) has without fail remained loyal to the genre of graffiti, while simultaneously never having ceased to revolutionize his medium: he has always looked beyond the significance of his own name, his own ego, or the familiar letters absent of any deeper substantiality. Through his technically perfected and, in terms of form, highly complex three-dimensional style, the symbols of Mirko Reisser (DAIM) take on a tangibility that departs from the two-dimensionality of the wall, bursting forth straight into the real world. The writer-name, otherwise condemned to rigidity, here assumes a unique dynamic that deviates from the stringent conventions of traditional lettering to undergo a perpetual process of transformation. As such, the four letters D-A-I-M represent considerably more than just a calligraphic style and the rendering of a name: they stand for the sovereignty of each individual character, for the challenge of probing and continually elaborating one's own writer-personality. But it also illustrates how immalleable perceptual structures on the part of the viewer can be pushed ad absurdum through the never-ceasing ambivalence of two- and three-dimensionality, placidity and dynamism, fantasy and reality.

Senator blocks Interior's Salazar from receiving pay bump
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was on track for pay raise that would have brought his salary on par with other Cabinet secretaries, until Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) gave him a quota. Until Salazar each month approved six new deep-water permits to allow exploratory oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Vitter would block the raise.

This limited edition bookplate is one of two Kickstarter-exclusive rewards.
Sorry fellas, these ladies are already engaged….
Sweater Weather
This is Molly, one of the protagonists of Lexxy's "The Cloud Factory" webcomic. I'm not sure what she's doing happily parading around and walking into puddles. She's a latent witch, she has her secrets.
By the way y'all should go check out The Cloud Factory; it's only 7 pages into the first chapter, but it's goddamn gorgeous and so far all the concept art and world-building tidbits I've seen are incredibly promising!
Today's final Fanart Friday Feature!
Molly's secret puddle-jumping compulsion is now canon.
Vol. 0 Preview: Mini-prints #2 and #3! Molly & Théo cameo portraits.
These serve a dual purpose, both as interior art for the book and as standalone mini-prints for the print pack. I wanted a classic look for these pieces that would be typical of the times, so I tried to channel my inner Rockwell. There's a little bit of Leyendecker in there too, I think.
The Cloud Factory is a fantasy adventure webcomic by Alexandra Douglass.
