The Artist by Iyan

A painter with nothing to paint, a writer with nothing to write, and a singer with nothing to sing. These are some of the things artists run into. Some of them rise from it. Others believe that they will never be inspired. But for those people, they are in the blind stage. They can't see all of the inspiration in the world. One of my inspirations are miracles. Like a solder bleeding to death behind enemy lines, but a native nearby comes to his aid. Or someone in the hospital dying, but the next morning is healthy. These are some of my inspirations. So find your inspiration.
Because this is what artists do and breathe life into your art.

My Favorite Things by Senorita Jorge

With the Christmas Season comes a bombardment of holiday songs. Once such song is "My Favorite Things." You may recall this holiday favorite from Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, "The Sound of Music." Because of this song, I have been reflecting upon my favorite things and I thought I'd share a few. (Please keep in mind these are in no particular order).

• Cell phones and text messaging
• British accents
• J.M.W. Turner
• Teaching kids how to read (There's nothing better)
• The words: fabulous, fantastic, and brilliant
• Maeve Binchy novels
• Black licorice
• Christmas lights
• DVR
• Honey-baked ham
• My bed and fluffy duvet
• TLC's Miami Ink
• Being called, "Little One," by my mom
• Carbs, especially soup bowls
• Television
• Cold Stone's Cake Batter Icecream
• The Muppet's Christmas Carol

I'd love to hear what tops your favorite things list.

Why I hate bees by Zach

When I was little I used to get stung a lot by bees. On day my brother, some friends, and I was playing in my grandma's yard. My grandma said she would give all us five buck if we poled weeds in the back yard, so we said "OK." We started to pole the weeds. Then I poled one weed that was hooked to a bees nest. I got stung in the eye. I couldn't open my eye for two weeks. My brother had bees all over him. My uncle had to spray him down with water. My friends got stung a couple times. That is why I hate bees.
