My Own Metamorphosis

Change to me is a very difficult thing to deal with. Whether it's changing into a new quarter or something more complicated as my parents getting divoced and remarried. Either way it takes me a while to find different ways to cope with it. I'm sure a lot of you have either gone through the same types of things, or maybe even worse...It sometimes sucks having new things happen, especially when it's out the norm for you. I was always used to living with just my mom, dad, sister, and a dog. But when they divorced, all of that changed. At first it was just the part of having two different places to live, but when my mom remarried, and then a couple years later my dad did...things got even weirder...My step-dad was someone who in some way took the roll of my dad. But then my dad, who remarried to my ex step-mom that was a different story down a long long road that we won't take the time to travel over this blog. He's now engaged to a woman, who i'm still not too fond of, but she does have two little girls who are awesome and a lot of fun. Once the change sets in, it's easy to look back and say, "what in the world was i freaking out over". But in the mean time, if you're going through change, read a book, listen to music, or pick up a hobby...it def. keeps your mind off of things, and seems to make time go by faster :) but that's just me..

Position

This word is used a couple times within the first chapter of Metamorphisis. When Gregor is trying to find a comfortable spot or position to sleep. He also tries to find the right position to help himself get out of bed in the morning. This word to him become much more difficult that it used to be. He's also put in a bad position by not being at the correct train. He's so worried about not being at his train on time and how he could be fired, he doesn't even care that he's a giant bug. Also when his manager comes to his door he isn't able to get out of his room. He's put in many difficult positions as a bug.

Tattoo

For class we had to pick a piece of writing to explain and describe what it was about and how it made us feel. I choose the lyrics "Tattoo" by Jordan Sparks. It's a pretty popular song right now, so i'm sure most of you have heard it once or twice. To some people it's just a song, but to others, who can relate to it and understand what it's really about, are going to understand it's importance and reason for it.

"No matter what you say about love,
I keep coming back for more,
Keep my hand in the fire,
Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for.
No matter what you say about life,
I learn every time I bleed
the truth is a Stranger
soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free to
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind"

Basically she's almost addicted to love and can't help but get involved with someone. And everytime she does get involed, sooner or later she's bound to get hurt again because that's how love works. When you put your feelings into something, and it doesn't go as you wanted, you won't be happy. And everytime you do get hurt, you're not expecting it, because you're blissfully ignorant. So in the song she eventually decideds to leave it all behind and not hurt herself anymore because it's not worth it.
