hey, i'm gonna blog about peotry (again)!

for school this year i'm readin a book called "americans' favorite peoms", it's a bunch of peoms that american's like a guess. it's kinda funny becuase most of them are actually peoms in other languages that have been translated into english, like this peom i'm about to blog about says "Translated from the greek by Kenneth Rexroth", interesting. now i'm writing about this peom for a few resons, partly becuase i like it, partly becuase it reminds me of all my RTS (real time strategy) games, partly becuase it has good advice, and partly becuase i disagree with it. sound confusing? good, i enjoy confusing you. now here is the peom, try to guess what i like, what reminds me of games, what i think is good advice, and what i don't agree with.

Will, lost in a sea of trouble

Archilochos

Will, lost in a sea of trouble,

Rise, save yourself from the whirlpool

Of the enemies willing.

Courage exposes ambushes.

Steadfastness destroys enemies.

Keep your victories hidden.

Do not sulk over defeat.

Accept good. Bend before evil.

Learn the rhythm which binds all men.

now, you guys guessed right? now i'm gonna show you how you did, i will explain about this peom (i know it didn't rhyme, but it was translated from greek, come on). those beggining 3 lines, are just cool, i like them. the next to lines, about courage and steadfastness remind me of my games. the next to lines are good advice, don't show off your victories, going "i'm so great! i rule! your heads on fire and mines not, i'm better! ;-)". be humble. then "do not sulk over defeat", this is important, if you sulk over your defeat you've just lost all over again. and now here's the part i argue with, "accept good. bend before evil."? no way, man. you got it waaayyy wrong! i would say "embrace good. stand fast against evil." you don't bend before evil, what kind of loser advice is that? if all those super heroes had bended before evil where would we be today? ;-) and if your gonna accept good, why not good all the way and embrace it?

so anyway, that was my deep thought on the subject of this peom, i hope you didn't get too bored. i just want to say how very, very! dissapointed i am in you! no one (except one person) has comment on the question i asked!!! i asked you all to comment!!! come on, it only takes 2 minutes, are you really that lazy? well anyway, i'm gonna ask this question again for the youth group at the corps they asked this question and i want you guys to try and asnwer. now here goes.

Where are heaven and hell?

now i want you guys to pick up your big fat lazy fingers and COMMENT!!! thank you...please just throw out any opinion, you can comment as anonymous if you want, i'm sick of just writing, i want some feed back! ok, Cya!
