We're All Monsters

A poem about reality.

145
We're All Monsters
Pixar Wiki

I’m surrounded by monsters.

The flesh eating Wendigos

who lack social skills,

but not to be confused

with the decaying zombies,

who, to be honest, just want a brain.

I hate the screeching banshees

who gather together with other banshees

& squeal at 2 am

when I’m trying to Netflix.

& the group of trolls who makes

a drunken tribute to Dionysus

every weekend are lacking in social depth.

Did I mention the fight

between werewolves & vampires.

It’s an important hassle but

The best fight happens every four years.

I wanted this old wolf with glasses to win

but I can settle for the She-wolf.


I’m surrounded by monsters

But I’m a monster too.

My father was a hell hound & my mother

a nymph.

I’m stereotyped as a hot-blooded hybrid

that is only good at two things.

Do what I’m told & humping.

Sometimes it’s true.


Yeah I’m a monster

but we all put on our shoes the same way,

one paw, talon or tail at a time.

We aren’t that bad.

compared to those other monsters.

The ones that you don’t expect

to stab you in the back.


I may be a monster

But I know what I am.

& if I ever see a human

I’ll run like hell

They are the real monsters.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
