Flexibility and skills

I believe in skill and flexibility. I believe that everyone in the world should have these traits, because with them, there would be no wars. I want no wars, just peace. Please read my essay on these beliefs.

Dreams and Me

I chose these poems because they suit me. The poems describe me, so I decided to do it. I chose a short poem, so I had to do a second poem to maintain the length of the movie. I took the literal approach to the ideas and images, because I believe that that would deliver a deeper message. I altered this approach for my own poem, just showing that I was the main thing, “the sea”. It is important that I got the message across, I believe that I got that point across.

Everyone has a talent

I am just amazed at what this video has shown me. The amount of people who are willing to just go out there and dance, even though it was being filmed and put up on youtube, it just shows how many good and happy people in the world. This is all just amazing because even though there are some people in the world who are unhappy and angry, the world is still a happy place. I also agree with Matt that people are all connected by common hobbies. Not all people are, but a lot of the 6,775,000,000 people that live on this earth are connected.

Inspiration and Awe


When I first saw this video a couple of days ago, I thought that this was just another performance by a wanna be. And it was, but the person was actually full of talent. I think that this shows that the human generation is doubtful and mean sometimes.

We don’t know if we are wrong or right until we have actually seen what they can do. This also means that because we are shaped by society, we judge people by age, clothes and gender. This is racist and mean of us and we need to change our way of thinking.

The connections to the Langston Hughes poem “The Dream Keeper” that I can come up with is that the poem talks about the person catching dreams and holding on to them so that they can survive the onslaught of the world. This clip matches this idea perfectly.

Me: The Seas






The Seas

I am the sea

Embracing the world

With green-blue waves

Destroying the world

With shear power

Unpredictable yet predictable

Raging yet calm

Choppy yet flat


I am dominant

My waves reach

All corners of the world

And break on all shorelines

I am unique

And only me


I am a natural force

Often underestimated

I provide life

And cause death

By way of raging winds


And high frothy waves

Crashing down

On the sandy beach

I am opposites.

I am the seas.

I am me.



I chose this image because it fits the poem perfectly. The sea is a powerful element that crashes around, constantly moving around. Just like me.

Skiing: Gloves


Don't you just love the freezing, biting wind on your exposed face. Ski gloves are my item because I simply love to go skiing. It is such a sensation to be on skis rushing down a steep white mountain. Your face becomes rosy after that long walk in clunky ski boots down to the ski lockers underneath the hotel. Just because we live somewhere warm, does not mean that we can’t enjoy winter activities.

Liquid Fire

I chose the blog title liquid fire because liquid fire is impossible (that is what I think) to create, and I like the theory of someday doing impossible things. It is fascinating, to know that we humans have come from the stone ages and will progress much further than we are now.
