R.I.P: Robin Williams

R.I.P Dear Robin Williams

 I can't believe that yesterday we lost a beloved legend, Robin Williams, to depression/suicide. I grew up watching him and his movies. He was a great encouragement to me. He will most definitely be missed! <3

   Dear fellow bloggers, and readers, I just want you to know that you are loved. So very very much. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, sadness, grief, self harm, or anything else, I just want you to know that you are loved. You are worth something. You are special. So if any of you are sitting alone in your room, thinking of way to end your life, or dwelling on all the pain you feel inside, if any of you are looking for a sign, well them I'm happy to say this is it. Take this as your reason to fight one more day. Know that you are worth more than what you think. If anyone needs someone to talk to, please, I am here! Smile! I love everyone of you beautiful people out there! :)

If anyone needs someone to talk to, contact me on any of my social media sites(links below), I would love to hear from you! :)

Nameless

Nameless, my soul is empty...forget empty...my soul no longer exists. 
There is an emptiness in me that can't be explained. 
I'm worthless, I'm nothing, I'm forgotten, and that's exactly what I'm suppose to be. 

I don't embrace my nothingness because that would make me strong. 
I don't except it either. 
I'm told what I am and that's just what I am. 
You may never understand unless your told you are nothing. 

You must become the nameless. 
Your soul must become lost forever. 
When you become the nothing that you are, then...you will be free. 

Hey guys! Darcy here :) I hope you liked that little thing I wrote. The inspiration for that came from a book called The Book Of Names by D. Barkley Briggs and is the first book in a series called Legends Of Karac Tor. Here is the book description: "Magic. Ancient portals. What if the legends are true? Teen brothers Hadyn and Ewan Barlow are forced to adjust to a depressing new life when a tragedy strikes home. Then a secret viking runestone opens a door to a world in peril, and they discover a crisis larger than their own pain. In the hidden Lands of Karac Tor, names are stolen from the young and darkness spreads. Hadyn and Ewan become targets of war, forcing them to make a reluctant choice: join the battle and risk losing each other and their home forever." It is an amzing book, one I for sure recommend you read. This is one of those books that has so many little things and quotes that you wanna always remember. In fact the copy I own has a bunch of my own personal bookmarks and I've also taped some of the things onto my wall. Amazing book! I've included the text as to where I got my main inspiration for my writing.

  " 'Do you have names?' He said quickly, to cover himself. 'Real names?' Grayday offered a wan smile, as if at a memory. 'Come on,' Hadyn said carefully. 'Everyone has a name. You know...what your parents named you when you were bor-'  
  "Names mean nothing. Names are illusions," said the leader. "I am called Shameface. But in truth, I am nameless."  
  "All right said Hadyn slowly. "But I don't really feel right calling you that if that's okay." 
 "I am nameless also," Grayday joined in. Her eyes were a cradle of wounds, her lips a plastic grin. "My parents named me something else, once. Then they sold me in the village to a fisherman who had lost his wife. He wanted a cook, a maid. He had...needs. My parents couldn't feed me, didn't care to try. They already had five mouths beside theirs and mine. I was one too many, they said. A mistake. Said I should go be somebody else s mistake, not theirs." 
  Solemn, matter-of-factly, she did not lower her eyes or look away. Hadyn did. But Grayday was not finished. "Hider will not tell you, but he was the son of a wealthy merchant. His father called him pig. Said he was slow, stupid. Fat. Worthless. Shameface was the son of a blacksmith in Bitterland. Trained to make pickaxes and hammers for the miners. He was a poor apprentice, made soft hammers that broke on rock. He brought shame on his father. His father cast shame upon him, as did all the village. The Bitterman take pride in their metal." 
  "Our old names were lies," Shameface explained in monotone. "Nemesia has given us new names. Truer names. We borrow them only to speak to one another. The new names tell a story, stripped of lying words. And we are glad." 
  "Birth names lie. Names of pain do not," Hinder mumbled. Grayday brushed a hair from her face. "You see, life is pain. So..." She waited for Hadyn to catch on. When he didn't reply, she finished for him. "...only the nameless escape."...........

 (Shameface talking to Hadyn about his name)
   "Hadyn is a name of a memory. Memory linked to hope. To hold on to your name is to always remember the falseness of that hope. You, that boy, the one named Hadyn- you are the one who has felt the sorrow of a mother dying. Hope and life promise. Lies, all of it, for they died with her. Another bot with a different name has not felt these things, because he has not borne your name. But you have, and so you are bound to that name. 
 Hadyn reeled. Hinder spoke softly, "Those hopes will never come true." 
  Grayday still wore an eerie smile. Almost singsong, she said, "The nameless are free." 
 As if on cue, Shameface pointed to the other prisoner. "This girl. She is rich and unwise. She thinks she is loved. She has no future. But she belives she does. What good is such a worthless one, clinging to lies? Clinging to old words and names. We have offered her truth. We offered to let her soul become lost, as ours. She refused." 
  Shameface scooted near the girl, who shivered at the awareness of his unfelt hand. The boy looked at Hadyn, then rolled the girl, hands bound, off the raft, into the water. His face was blank as stone. He didn't even turn to watch her writhe and kick for help.
  "No!" Hadyn cried. He tried to leap to his feet, to wrench his hands free. But like the girl in the water, he was bound. As he clumsily gained his legs, Hinder slammed a knee into his stomach, doubling him over. He was clubbed again on the back of the head. Collapsing to the raft, darkness closed upon him swiftly. The last sounds he heard were that of the girl, thrashing in the water. 
 Thrashing. Screaming. Then burbling silence. 
  And Grayday, almost sounding pleased, said, "Now she is nameless. Now she is free." 



Thanks for baring with my guys through this long post, but most of all I hope you enjoyed it :)

Darkness

A nightmare...that's what it's like. 
A nightmare you can't wake up from. 
Wounds that never heal, the pain never seems to dull. 

Madness is everywhere. 
The darkness engulfs my soul. 
The light is forever dimmed. 

My world is taken over by demons and dark spirits. 
There's no longer a heaven and hell or anywhere in between. 
It's all one world now. 

It's too late to undo the decisions made. 
There's no more questions to ask. 
The cards are on the table, the wheel of Fate has been broken. 

There's no changing what's to come...what's already here...all that was once good doesn't exists anymore. 
All that's left in this world and time itself is darkness...unchanging, untouchable Darkness...

Friday Playlist: Independence Day by 5 Seconds Of Summer

   

     Hey guys! I know it's not Friday, but I figured since I was gone Friday and didn't get the chance to put one up I would just do it today. :) This weeks song is Independence Day by 5 Seconds Of Summer! I love this song so much! I actually heard it for the first time after I bought their new album from Target. I for sure urge all of you to go out and buy their new CD, its amazing! Every last song. These guys are a talented bunch of Aussies! This song actually has a lot of meaning to me. I know its a breakup song but I take it a little different. I relate to it because this is kinda how things have been with my friend. It kinda gave me the courage to take a step back from my best friend who wasn't really being a best friend anymore. It was like a little confidence boost. I was done being dragged around. I was done putting up with hurt just so I could keep a friend. It's time to let go. It's time to live my life for me. It's my Independence Day! :) And it sure feels good. Nothing better than a good song to help you through those moments in life when you're confused or hurt.
   So I hope you like this weeks Playlist song! The link to listen to the song is below, just click it to watch. Plus Ive included the lyrics themselves right under the link! :)

                Independence Day Video


   

Ooooh Ooooh

You're telling the same old story
And that I need to change
If you're not living my life for me
You make it feel that way

You know you know
We're losing control
I gotta pick way
And nothing's gonna change

You've got to go
It's the end of the road
No matter what you do or say

Baby you're not what I need
I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day
I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day (x2)

Suddenly my picture is looking perfect
Since you're not in the frame
And deep down I never meant to hurt you
But you're the one to blame

You know you know
We're losing control
Before it's too late I'm making my escape
Now that I'm gone you're on your own
No matter what you do or say

Baby you're not what I need
I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day
I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it could've worked out right for us
I know you fight for all we had
But it didn't feel right

Heart down our sleeves
We lost tonight
And there's no looking back

I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day

I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it would've worked out right for us
There's no looking back

This is my independence day (x2)

        
    

Starting Fresh

    Hey guys! So today I just wanted to talk to you guys about a couple things. First one being I'm sorry I don't put up new things every week, but I just get so busy(and honestly lazy) to sit down and write something. I hope you guys will forgive me. I really want to get back to blogging every week. And that's another thing I wanted to talk to you guys about: I think I'm going to start doing more than just reviews. I believe I will keep the site name the same and everything, but I want to start just doing blog post so you guys can get to know me a little more and so I can get to know you guys! :) I'll also just be putting up some of my poems and just little things I write. So I hope you guys are okay with that :)
  And the last thing I wanted to talk to you guys about was my YouTube videos. Ive recently started getting into singing and I put up a couple covers on YouTube already. So just go look me up as Darcy Quinn if you want to take a listen. Leave me comments and let me know what you think! I would LOVE feedback from you lovely people! 
  So I guess that all I have for today! I hope to be back soon! :) 


P.S. I'm trying to come up with a cool outro for all my post and videos, so leave me some ideas below! :)


  ~Darcy Quinn~

My Poem (also my "I'm sorry")

Wow guys! I am so so so so sorry! I haven't posted a review in FOREVER, but I hope to get one out to you guys soon. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see a review on let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear from you guys. Who knows, maybe you guys will even recommend something Ive never heard of before and I will gain a new favorite! Also let me know what you think of the items I post about. Give me your opinion. I wanna know what everything thinks and feels about certain songs or books or even shows. But anyway, this is just a little poem I wrote when I got bored. Its not a review or anything but I hope you like it just the same. Also my feelings about love aren't really like this. This is just how a lot of my free writing ends up. So don't take this the wrong way. :)


     Time stands still. 
My heart becomes like shattered glass. 
My breathing slows. 
 And in this moment, I know the nature of my reality. 
Nothing is the same anymore. 
Nothing can ever be the same again.
 

   Do you believe in love? 
If so, I caution you dear friend. 
It hurts. 
It takes. 
It destroys. 
It leaves you in ruins. 
Once you are shattered, you never can rebuild. 
No matter how hard you try, and trust me, I have.
 

   What makes us believe in love in the first place? 
Is it the beautiful lie we are told that love completes you? 
Or that love is a force so strong that it can conquer all? 
Well, maybe that last part isn't such a lie. 
Love does conquer all. 
It conquers your soul. 
It conquers and takes control of your life. 
You are left with a numb feeling inside you. 
You no longer have control. 
You become the living dead.
 

   At first love can be amazing. 
It can be powerful. 
It can transform you into someone or something you never could have imagined. 
It feels freeing. 
But do not be sucked into something so evil yet so sweetly coated. 
Hold to the things you can control. 
My dear friend, I do not say these words to scare you but simply to ensure that the ends of time do not unravel your future. 
For love holds power. 
A power no man can wield.

Friday Playlist: 19 You+Me by Dan+Shay

Hey guys! :) This week for the Friday Playlist is 19 You + Me by Dan + Shay. I heard this song on the radio just a couple weeks ago for the first time ever and just completely fell in love with their voices and this song. Not only is it a cute song, but these two boys have an amazing voice that sounds like that of an angel (if you couldn't tell...I love their voices). I actually loved this song so much that I got the whole album! And I will just say...it's totaly worth it. Every song on the album is just as amazing! If you wanna check out the video click on "19 You + Me" right down below! :)Warning...You will experience major feels! 

  19 You + Me

Lyrics:  It was our first week
At Myrtle Beach
Where it all began

It was 102°
Nothin' to do
Man it was hot
So we jumped in

We were summertime sippin', sippin'
Sweet tea kissin' off of your lips
T-shirt drippin', drippin' wet
How could I forget?

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me

We had our first dance in the sand
It was one hell of a a souvenir
Tangled up, so in love
So, let's just stay right here

'Til the sun starts creepin', creepin' up
Right then I knew
Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of
When I looked at you

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
...you and me

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me

First week in myrtle beach where it all began..

Friday Playlist: I See Fire by Ed Sheeran

Today's song is I See Fire sung by Ed Sheeran. This song is from The Hobbit. An amazing book by J.R.R. Tolkien that was turned into a three part movie. So far two parts of the film have been in theaters and the third and final film comes out December 17th 2014. Amazing book and amazing movies. I've read the book over and over and seen the movie just as much! If you wanna check out the video, click "I See Fire" right below. :)

  "I See Fire"

   Lyrics:  Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side high

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

Book Description- " "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" ad attracts dozens for mind-bending tests readers may try. Only two boys and two girls succeed for a secret mission, undercover and underground into hidden tunnels. At the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, the only rule is - there are no rules."

   First things first, I am so so sorry I didn't get this out till FRIDAY!! Wow! That's WAY late! So very sorry, it has just been a crazy week. 
   I love this book. For many reasons. The first being its definetly a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from begining to end. This is only the begining of a journey of 5 books. 
The second reason I love this book so much is that you feel as much a part of the story as the characters. You are left to figure this mystery out along with the characters. I feel like this is a very interactive book. 
  The third reason this book is so great is because I feel like you learn so much. Whether its thinking outside the box, or being a friend to those who need one, or figureing out just what you're capable of.
   I definitely recommend you read this book, it wont let you down! 


    *SIDE NOTE- I'm again so sorry this was late and also sorry its so short. I wrote this last minute and didnt really have time to plan a review and make it well written. I promise to get a head start on next weeks review and make it a good one! :) But on the plus side...you guys get a Friday Playlist song today!

Friday Playlist: Human by Christina Perri

Okay guys, this weeks Friday Playlist song is Human by Christina Perri, and honestly guys, this song means a lot to me right now. Ive taken this song on as my theme song. The lyrics are beautiful, and so is her voice. This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. It's one of those songs that I can relate to, especially at this moment in time. I hope you guys find this song just as meaningful as I do...If you wanna listen to the song just click "Human" right below. :)

     "Human"

   Human lyrics:
 I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

who am I today.

Okay guys I know this isnt a review...but I love this boy and his story is a good one. Very touching. <3 Please share the love!

Identity Theft by Anna Davies

Book Description: The third title in our exciting relaunch of Point Horror!

Hayley is going to have the best year ever. After years of careful planning, she's ready to serve as student council president AND editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Ivy League, here she comes!

However, just before student council elections, someone creates a fake facebook profile for Hayley and starts posting inappropriate photos and incriminating updates. It must be the work of a highly skilled Photoshopper, but the attention to detail is scary. The embarrassing photos of "Hayley" in her bathing suit reveal a birthmark on her back--a birth mark Hayley has never shown in public. . . .

The situation escalates until Hayley's mother reveals some shocking information. Hayley isn't an only child: She has a twin sister who was adopted by a different family. And that's not all. Soon, Hayley discovers that her long-lost sister isn't just playing a prank--she's plotting to take over Hayley's life . . . by any means necessary.
  Okay guys, in all honesty, I didn't really like this book very much. I love the idea she had for the book, it just wasn't very well written. And while you may be able to relate to certain things in some of the characters life, Its not one of those books where you bond with a specific character. I found the characters (especially Hayley) very annoying and very hard to handle. You spend most of the book wondering when she is going to become more approachable (in a reading sense). The book is kinda short so it didn't take me long to finish, so I was able to read the whole thing, but I think if this would have been a longer book I wouldn't have made it through. It just wasn't well written and it was hard to sit through. So if you would like to read this book, I recommend borrowing from a library...not one I would recommend you go out and buy.

Friday Playlist: The Only Reason by 5SOS

Its that time of the week again (and I have to admit its my favorite part), its time for the Friday Playlist!! And this weeks song is one of my new favorites The Only Reason by 5SOS! I absolutely cant wait to see them perform at the One Direction concert in Chicago this summer! Amazing vocals and amazing song! :)This song is one I think many teenagers can relate to! I know I can... So just click "The Only Reason" down below to hear the song! :)

     The Only Reason

   "The Only Reason"

Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
Tell me, is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line
Taking back the time we can't replace

All the crossed wires,
Just making us tired
Is it too late to bring us back to life?

When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason

I feel you burning under my skin
I swear I see you shining
Brighter than the flame inside your eyes

Bitter words spoken,
Everything broken
It's never too late to bring us back to life


Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason
Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason

Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?

Merlin

Sorry I didn't get this out till today but I hope you like it.
  Okay guys, I'm like really excited about this weeks review! This is a show I absolutely love and have become incredibly addicted to. For those of you who don't know, this is a take on the story of King Arthur before he became King; And Merlin, a young warlock who must keep his powers a secret in hopes of saving Prince Arthur from troubles and making sure Arthur becomes the great king Camelot needs. I love watching Arthur grow as a person and also the friendship between him and Merlin grow. They start off not being very fond of each other but grow to become good friends and learn to rely on each other.
   Now Ive only seen the first two seasons, but fell in love within the first few episodes. It's a great show about loyalty, bravery, and standing up for what you believe to be right. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions that will affect the people around you and sometimes secrets must be kept, even from those you trust and care about. Merlin has the weight of the Kingdom on his shoulders and one wrong move and Camelot will fall.

    Classic

 Song Lyrics:  Hey! Where's the drums?

Oh whoa-oh-oh-oh

Let's go!


Ooh girl you’re shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don’t make you like they used to
You’re never going out of style

Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you save me
Who can blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?


I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this


You’re over my head
I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you,
Baby you’re so classic

Four dozen of roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style

Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it reel to reel in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle


I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this

You're over my head
I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic

Baby you’re class and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever til we met
A star in the 40s, centrefold in the 50s
Got me tripping out like the sixties
Hippies Queen of the discotheque
A 70s dream and an 80s best
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massive
Girl you’re timeless, just so classic

You're over my head I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You’re one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic 

May Bird and The Ever After by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Book Description- "Most people aren't very comfortable in the woods, but the woods of Briery Swamp fit May Bird like a fuzzy mitten. There she is safe from school and the taunts and teases of kids who don't understand her. Hidden in the trees, May is a warrior princess, and her cat, Somber Kitty, is her brave guardian. Then May falls into the lake.When she crawls out, May finds herself in a world that most certainly does not feel like a fuzzy mitten. In fact, it is a place few living people have ever seen. Here towns glow blue beneath zipping stars, and the people- the people?- walk through walls. Here the Book of The Dead holds the answers to everything in the universe. And here, if May is discovered, the horrifyingly evil Bo Cleevil will turn her into nothing. May Bird must get out. Fast."
     This book is geared towards the younger crowd, but honestly, I loved it! It's just a fun fantasy story about the supernatural. A girl on a journey through many realms in hopes of finding herself. She travels with her kitty companion, along with a few friends she meets along the way. May Bird becomes best friends with a timid ghost with a pumpkin shaped head, naturally of course, named Pumpkin. This book teaches that sometimes, being different can be just what you, and the world, needs most.

Friday Playlist: Half a Heart by One Direction

Hey guys! Ive decided every Friday I'm going to do something called Friday Playlist, and its just going to be a new song every week that I love (or don't). This weeks song is one of my favorites by the British/Irish boy ban One Direction. Click below to listen!

Half a Heart

Here are the lyrics to it(though the link above take you to a youtube lyric page):  So your friend's been telling me
You've been sleeping with my sweater
And that you can't stop missing me
Bet my friend's been telling you
I'm not doing much better
'Cause I'm missing half of me

And being here without you is like I'm waking up to

Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best,
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you

Forget all we said that night
No, it doesn't even matter
'Cause we both got split in two
If you could spare an hour or so,
We'll go for lunch down by the river
We can really talk it through

And being here without you is like I'm waking up to

Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best,
With half an arrow in my chest
'Cause I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you

Half a heart without you,
I'm half a heart without you

Though I try to get you out of my head
The truth is I got lost without you
And since then I've been waking up to

Only half a blue sky (only half a blue sky)
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best (half a man at best)
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you

Without you, without you, half a heart without you
Without you, without you, I'm half a heart without you

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

Book Description- "After saving Olympus from the evil Titan lord, Kronos, Percy and friends have rebuilt their beloved Camp Half-Blood, where the next generation of demigods must now prepare for a chilling prophesy of their own: Seven half-bloods shall answer the call. To storm or fire the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Now in a brand new series from block buster best-selling author Rick Riordan, fans return to the world of Camp Half-Blood. Here, a new group of heroes will inherit a quest. But to survive the journey, they'll need help from some familiar demigods."
    This is the first book out of five in the Heroes of Olympus series. If you're a fan of Percy Jackson and the Olympians then you will LOVE this new series that continues the story of Percy and other demigod friends. The writing is amazing and there are cliff-hangers at every turn. And more surprises than you can handle. If you haven't read this book, or the series for that matter, then you must! I mean it, right now! Get up and go buy it. It's just that good.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Book Description- "One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions- Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peace

ful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions. Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one shes determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous."

   Loved this book! Praise to Veronica Roth for writing an action packed yet touching story. This book makes you want more after every chapter. Impossible to put down. Not only does it teach the importance of being brave, but also honest, selfless, peaceful and intelligent. I don't think any of us can be described with just one word. I believe we are all a little...Divergent.

Falling Skies Review

  At first glance Falling Skies may seem like another alien invasion show some geek made up at some comic book convention, but Falling Skies is anything but! This show portrays the importance of family and courage. One cannot give up even in the hardest of times. In this show friendship is valued and cherished. As the characters bond with one another, so do you with them. You begin to relate with eaches personal struggle on a deeper level. The actors of Falling Skies give life and emotion to the characters that were once just on paper. I believe each one of us can understand what its like to struggle with being brave and doing whats best, just like the characters of Falling Skies, even when skies are falling all around you.
