Short Story

Short stories are very difficult when you don't know what to write about. This is why we brainstorm and do an outline so that all of our ideas are jotted down on a piece of paper. I think that writing a short story is very easy if you know what you're writing about. Once the main points are written down you can go back and add detail to the story to make it more interesting. Like a wise man once told me, a short story is suppose to "smack you in the face and end". I think that my short story did that because it makes the reader think about what would have happened if the ending was explained. 

Short stories should make the reader think more then learn. They should learn from themselves thinking. Short stories should make our minds go bizzurk and make it try and connect the dots. 

Thanksgiving DOOMS day

Thanksgiving day might be a day of giving thanks for something someday in history. Pretty much who cares right? All it is to me is the worst day of my soon to be ended life.

It all starts about a week or two before Thanksgiving arrives. Hunters grab their guns and wait for us to fly up into the sky. Then at the correct second, we hear a loud bang and it's all over. I understand how the system works. We eat the fish, the fish eat the worms and the worms eat the dirt. It's the circle of life.

By now your probably like, "Okay Mufasa, what does this have to do with your story?"

Anyway, so after seeing fellow ducks get shot down I have noticed that it is not always the bullet which kills the duck. Sometimes it just clips a wing making it hard to fly. If the bullet doesn't kill you then the fall into that pond at 40 plus feet probably will. If the fall doesn't, which I have seen once in my life, those evil four legged things they call "dogs" will. They jump into the water and bite your neck so it's impossible to breathe and that is how we die and they get a Thanksgiving meal.

Once captured, our dead corpse is dumped into a small black bag and shipped to some kind of factory. There they pluck our nice feathers, one by one, and send us to the packaging place to get packaged for your nice Thanksgiving meal.

We sit at stores for hours on end waiting until one "LUCKY" customer strolls along and snatches us. Not caring for the well being of us, they just throw us into the cart and take us to the checkout counter.

At home you cook us and fry us and stuff us with some nasty stuffing. We just sit there on a fancy plate just starring at you as you pray. You pray for the food you are about to eat, which is me. All I have to say is you wouldn't have to pray for me if you didn't kill me. 

Man, it's not cool to be a duck in November!!!

Big 12 Needs to Change Policies

The weekend of November 29 was a very interesting day in college football. We saw some trickery in the Colorado, Nebraska game which ended up back firing and causing a touchdown for Colorado. We also saw some amazing catches like in the Oklahoma game. Most of all we saw probably one of the most interesting and most controversial topics when it comes to college football... The Oklahoma Sooners overtook The Texas Longhorns in the BCS standings. If I were a Texas fan, which I'm not because I can't stand Colt McCoy and Texas, I mean who names their kid after a baby boy horse? I mean c'mon... But if I were a Texas fan I would be furious! How can a team which Texas beat in the regular season be ranked higher in the BCS standings. How can this be? Oh and on top of that they aren't even playing for their conference championship! I don't understand how a three loss team like Missouri can be playing in the Big 12 championship with three losses.

The facts are that the Big 12 South is so much more competative then the Big 12 North. I mean who is in the Big 12 North? Four teams which are 500 or less in the conference. The Big 12 South has four teams ranked in the top 15. The Big 12 needs not to have a conference championship between the North and the South but between the two best teams. That is the only way to make it fair. All I have to say to all you Texas fans is... "It would stink to be a Longhorn now."
