Poetry

What I decided to post as "poetry" are lyrics to a song that I know:
You may go, I'll let you go, may god bless you
You'll be mine, wherever you may be
It's a warning, to say Aloha
'cause you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
Oh no you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
You may go, I'll let you go, may god bless you
You'll be mine, wherever you may be
It's a warning, to say Aloha
'cause you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
Oh no you'll never find another Kane'ka like me
Oh no you'll never find another people like us

The actual song: Hawaiian Like me - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Fahrenheit 451 Motion Picture

I am currently reading Ray Bradbury's book "Fahrenheit 451" and as I am reading I stopped (at about page 124) and thought to myself, "Why haven't they made a modern motion picture for Fahrenheit 451?" I just find it completely ignorant that the Film Industry hasn't put together a modern motion picture that could make them MILLIONS! So many Movies and Films have been total failures and it just makes me wonder... Why they wouldn't produce Films based on books that are great (like Fahrenheit 451)? Producers usually look to books when they feel lost and need ideas, so why haven't they turned to Fahrenheit 451? That is a question that no one will understand. Anyway, I better get back to reading. See you next post!

John Mayer - Daughters

If you haven't heard this song yet, then you should ;)
