Poetry On Odyssey: I Know Many People

I know and knew many people, but they sadly never knew me...

Poetry On Odyssey: I Know Many People

This is a poem that I wrote a while ago that I have recently revised. It's special to me because of how all of these "people" changed my life. Each of them has become like a close friend and some even helped me through rough times.

I will never forget and never stop thanking them for all they have done. They shaped me into the person I am today and they always and forever will hold a place in my heart.

I hope you enjoy and can relate in some way.


I Know Many People

I know an alien from time and space.

A River was their closest companion.

They had the ability to change their face

And has suffered things you couldn't imagine.


I know a pair of brothers

And a fallen angel of the Lord.

They dedicate their lives to helping others,

Protecting them iron, salt, and sword.


I know a highly functioning sociopath

He lives on Baker Street

With his friend who suffers war's wrath.

They are the best sleuths you will ever meet.


I know a boy, part mortal, part god

Thrown into a world, a boy among men.

The extent of his powers is very broad.

Defending the world with a transformer pen


As for witches and wizards, I know a bunch.

The Chosen One with a lightning scar,

A red-headed family who don't have much,

And the brightest witch of her age, by far


I know a greedy Scrooge, who is growing old.

He'd lost all he held dearest

And turned his heart cold.

His soul was saved, by three Christmas spirits


I lost a woman who dreamed a dream,

A girl whose love was a personal illusion,

A man who broke parole to be redeemed,

And many who died for the French revolution.


I lost the Half-Blood Prince,

A loving, free house-elf,

One of the joking twins,

And a loyal owl who sacrificed herself


I know and knew many people

But they sadly never knew me

Yet I still think they're all special

For they are fictional, you see

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
