   Compositions by YOU!
  Okay, so far we have a series of "your desktop" and "your picture" threads, now its time to extend this "your ____" thing into the area of writing.What I want in this thread is works by you, such as songs and poems that YOU have written. Get some advice on your work, suggestions, etc. It all just sounds like a good idea. I''ll start this off with the first verse and chorus of a song I attempted to write a week or two ago, but am at a complete loss for what to write in the second verse.Good EnoughHere we are--hanging by a moment.Not a clue of where to go from here.We''re drowning in a sea of lost hope.Stuck without a clue without a care.Hoping on unspoken expectation,coping with obscure limitation,waiting on true procrastination,it all just leads to aggravation.I''m takin'' shit for you,you''re takin'' shit for me.That''s good enough--good enough for me.Just thought I''d go out on a limb and start a thread like this. HAVE FUN!Trent(ShiningKnight)trent@voxelsoft.comThe Official Site of All True Programmers
  I''m not sure I should post the lyrics to the songs I have written. The songs themselves say it all ;  Ah, damn, you should''ve posted this about half a year ago, when I was almost hopelessly obsessed with a girl. I wrote a lot about her, but later deleted it all.quote:Examinations, though designed to be unbiased evaluators of knowledge and skill, fail at their attempt because of the methods employed and processes utilized.  Instead of capturing the full essence of the knowledge contained, examinations project the individual onto a singular score, and in the process objectifies them: the individual becomes a score.  What was once a multifaceted human being has become a number, a number imbued with power through its use by institutions.  Conformity to the exam is forced; the examination immediately changes the individual, but the individual cannot immediately change the exam.  The individual may, however, respond exactly to the requirements of the exam by constructing an image of competency.  This is possible because examination tests not knowledge as intended, but instead tests the ability to take the exam.  Demonstrated, constructible aptitude, socioeconomic factors, and various other external factors are all recorded in the score.  Allowing aptitude to be constructed, and treating the score as if it was a pure representation of ability is the biggest flaw in the examination device.  As long as external factors influence examinations, they can never be truly unbiased tests that gauge the true level of understanding and knowledge an individual possesses. ;  I wrote a 150 page novella for a girl once.

Didja know that chicks DON''T dig love poems featuring armadillos? REALLY?! DAMNIT! No wonder she never liked that "Ode to the armadillo of thine heart" poem I wrote.seriously, though; I wrote a 16 page epic poem for a girl; what... the... HELL... was... I... thinking?!along with 14 sonnets, 3 artistic word-placement poems, and 2 Robert-Frost style poems.I always wanted to be a writer.    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strike not the drums of war; I shall heed the clarion no more.  ;Without Lenin my "ode" to Communism sung to Eminem''s "Without Me."It''s rediculous how much stuff I''ve written.  If I ever stop being lazy I''m going to compile it into a manuscript and take it to a copy shop to get it bound into a book finally.  I have enough material for at least 3 books.I used to write poetry for this girl I was dating like so:As I sit and watchThe sighlent stars go byI often think and wonder whyIt is to be that we can seeBut to touch is not to beThey are little diamonds in the skyAlthough more precious then jewels are theyFor though they number more than the sandsThey can do as none otherCause someone to lie and wonderAs the stars drift slowly by"The Butteryfly" and "Is It Only Lust Instead" I think are probably two of the best I wrote.
