I just finished reading a book by Billy Collins called, "The trouble with poetry." This book was a collective of Billy's poems. Billy is a very famous poem and he seems to be the only poet that could ever make it onto the bestseller's list while writing a book about poetry.

My favorite poem from this book was "The Trouble with Poetry." In this poem, Billy analyzes how poetry is something similar to a natural resource and one day poetry might end. He says that if we continue to right about things that the world has and we run out of things then that will be the end of poetry. I agreed with this theory because time and time again I have made the mistake of writing cliche poems that are boring because someone already wrote about the topic. Once we all use up all the things in this world then we will be left with pages and pages of clich poems.

I love reading poetry. I just finied taking the course Poetry Workshop with Sally-Bluimus and it was a really good class. We wrote journals on poems and we wrote poems throughout the semester. I learned alot about myself when I would write my poems because i contstantly wrote about my father and my mom. I had to read this book for that class and now I will definitely read more poetry even after the class. I definitely recommend this class to my friends because you can learn alot about yourself. I will also try to keep my own poetry book. I love writing poetry because poetry helps me to show my feelings without saying it to someone and that opportunity is very beneficial to me.

Stuff black people like: #48 Acting loud in the movie theaters

How many times have you ever went to the movie theaters to watch your favorite movie that you are excited to see and there are obnoxious people talking. The worst times are when these people are black. It’s so annoying when it’s a scary movie and they are yelling, “Don’t go in there (...) I told you not to go in there.” I feel like throwing something at these people in their faces when they are loud. If I would have spoken my mind to every person that I have heard talking in the movie theater, I would have got into a lot of fights.

A few years back I was with a recruit that was trying to come to my school and he was so annoyed by the people talking. I was in a movie theater filled with kids and obnoxious people. The movie that I was seeing was SAW IV and after every scary scene, someone was yelling. I kept looking back to show them that I was about to lose my cool but they continued. Finally I was sick and fed up and gave them a piece of my mind. I asked them aggressively, “Can you please stop talking. Some people are trying to watch the movie.” That was the worst mistake that I have ever done. They started yelling even more and started throwing things. When I turned around to see how many of them it was, I realized that I had no chance if I wanted to keep my life. I simply sat and watched the rest of the movie and didn’t say a word. I never went back to that Kings Plaza movie theater. Now I go to the LOEWS in Port Chester.
