CARPE DIEM REVIEW

CARPE DIEM

Seize the day

Without love

your spirit will be a flower

picked up without purpose

and thrown on the ground

to be trampled by anyone.

This is my favorite line in this poem, because it visualizes what people feel like when they are lonely. It is very true when a person lives without love, he or she's either lonely or free. People need reasons to live for, but when a person don't have any needs or purpose, they will be eaten by the space growing inside themselves. Love is an antidote, for loneliness, for sadness, for life. People need things to fill up their blank space, some uses work, some uses drug, some uses game, but love, it distracts people from everything, when a person stays with their other part, the bond can be so strong, nothing in the world could break it apart.

Review:

My tone can be a little bit better, it is very clear that I am not capable of being a good performer, I do not have enough experience to control such character. I need to remember my lines and combine them with my performance, and I shouldn't have turned my back on to the audiences.

Monolog of a Nuke

I’m a nuke, and there is something special about me compared to the other week missiles. I can only be set off by one thing, the button. No matter how much you punch me or shoot me, I won’t blow up. Although, if you touch my button, ohh I swear to god, there won’t be an ash left of you. So if you want to be safe around me, leave my button alone!

My life you see is very fun. I get to stay in the launch station all day, and the best is, I don’t even have to move! Those little two legged things come to check me every day, super comforting, only if they could set an tv up, that will be better.

Something happened today, I was sitting and starring at walls just as usual, but a few hours ago, a few of those two legged thingy came in to a room full of monitors, they are wearing white, but one man he wears a suit, he stares at me and said a word, I couldn’t hear it, but the other little things seem to freaked out. Hmmm I really wish it’s nothing.

(Yawning) what’s that sound, why is my room red, what, are those count downs, no no no no no! Guys we can still talk about this, we don’t need to use violanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Some Performance Stuff

I can't really remember the last performance I was in, I mostly am the director, and maybe out of 20 pieces of my work, I was only in one of them. Although, a few years back I've watched a fair amount of performances, for example, Wicked, Lion King, also Chicago The Musical. They were really good, although when I was watching Chicago The Musical, I fell asleep, cause I had jet sick back then. My favourite one is Wicked, when I first heard we are going for a musical, I wasn't that excited, but the reality slapped me in the face, it was really really good. There is a very very interested coincident about this musical, because before going to the musical, in the morning, we learned the exact music in Wicked in our music class, and when I sat down in the stadium that night, I was so excited, I was bragging about it all night and the next day in school.

This is an object that can represent me. Actually, its the things that this controls. I am like a giant, but I am peaceful, no matter how much you hurt my feelings or hurt my body, I will never grow a lot of anger towards you. Although there is one thing about me, is that, if you dare hurt my friend or the people I care about, you pushed the nuke button, I will erupt and you will feel my wrath. So you can do whatever you want, but know this, leave that button alone, you don't want to touch it.

Standing at the bottom of the building,

Looking up,

You smiled and took a sip from the hot beverage handed you by the police,

All you can see is bright

Waking up and look out the window,

Rain pouring down,

Wind blowing trees,

You walk to the window and says,

'Hello, world.'

A smile slowly grows on to your face,

'You look just like yesterday.'

Wind growling outside the door,

You make your self a hot beverage.

Life is hard,

So what?

You living in it,

Can make it better.

Why is life so hard?

Don't ask me, ask god.

Life is hard, but you are still living it,

You want to end it, but, does it worth it?

When you sat on the side of a building,

People are watching from down there,

Siren on the police car covers all the noise in the city,

All you can feel is peace.

You know that all you need is to move a little forward,

and it will all end.

But when your hands behind you are ready to push,

Your heart starts to shake,

Does it worth it?

To just push,

just push,

push.

Life is hard.

When you are enjoying your life, remember this, it will end.

Every time you tell yourself, hey, life is great!

It's not.

A few minutes ago, you were enjoying the sunshine beside the beach,

Now, it's just pouring rain and bone freezing wind.
