My Name's Jon,And This Happened To Me When I Was On Holiday In Seville,In The South of Spain.


I was having a coffee in a bar when a man came up to me.He was quite smartly dressed,and he looked very respectable.'Do you speak English?'he asked.He definitely wasn't Spanish,but I'm not sure where he was from.'I'm very sorry to bother you,but I have a serious problem,'he continued.'I'm here on a business trip,and I've lost my briefcase-it had my passport,my wallet,my money,my credit cards,my mobile,my address book,everthing.Could you help me?I need to borrow 60 euros to get the train to Madrid-my...

Another poem by me. This one came out kinda lame,but I'll let the rating be the judge (assuming there will be any).

That Girl

Have you seen that girl,
That goes around here and there?
Nobody knows where she’s going,
Is she even going somewhere?

Pretty face, pretty hair,
Nobody knows her name,
She seems sad, what a coincidence,
I’ve been feeling the same.

She seems lost,
Doesn’t even know where she’s from,
I’m a nice guy so I invite her,
To stay in my home.

She seats in the couch,
My, is she pretty?
I wonder what I can say,
To comfort that girl , so dreamy.

Sarah,
She tells me it’s her name,
She feels sad,
Funny,
Because I’ve been feeling the same

I find myself in a dungeon. I walk down the dungeon hall, looking into cells. I eventually come across a cell with a little boy.
"Hello sweetie. What are you doing in there?" I ask gently. He faces me and I see his eyes are empty, soulless, like he's dead inside.
"Mummy?" He asks with a British accent. He must be really far from home. "Are you my mummy?" he asks me innocently.
"No, sweetie. I don't know where your mummy is," I tell him.
"Mummy, mummy, mummy," he continues.
"Don't waste your time dearie. He never says anything else," the little man in the next cell tells me.
"Okay. And who are you...

In the West,cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh.The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained.Even though it is very funny,a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years.In wartime,for example,they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda.Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short,sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of...

Writing and design have always been two passions of mine. When someone first approached me with a writing opportunity for their blog, I was shocked. It hadn’t crossed my mind for a moment that the two could be brought together harmoniously. I still remember writing that article and building my first brainstorm of topics. I found myself asking, "What makes a good article?"




But, to hell with good articles. Anyone can write a good article. I wanted something that would floor everyone–that would make everyone say, "Who the heck is this guy, and why haven’t I read his stuff before?"

I’m always...

Third part. Comment, fan, but above all... enjoy. :)

Recap

“Where am I going to take care of you then, Tye?” I ask, already worried for my new little brother. That’s how I thought of him anyway, a little brother! I’ve always wanted one.

“Not sure… Let’s pretend we’re orphans and walk around see if anyone has the heart to take us in.” He snickers. He really is my brother! I laugh then knuckle bump with him.

“Hey, I get a new name now, right? I’ve always liked the name Dean, can I be Dean?” I asked excitedly. I need to start acting like a guy, puh…

“Ha ha! That sounds...

Jonas and Gabriel laughed as the ride ended. He could still hear something that he had never heard before. Perhaps it is what Giver called misuc, he though. Gabriel, who was smiling and chuckling with delight, was now quiet tilted his head in one direction as if he heard something. Then he yelled out, "Bird!"
Jonas, thinking that he meant that there was a plane near by, quickly picked up Gabriel and seeing that there was no where to hide, layed flat on the snow holding Gabriel tightly. He heard a cry, and looked up to see a white bird flying to the south. Instantly he remembered a time when...

The next day at school they had an athlete tryout at lunch time in the stadium. “Alec, there you are I’ve been looking all over for you, why are you watching the tryouts, man” Said Marley. “Nothing, just supporting people” Said Alec with a big smile on his face. “Your perving on the girls aren’t you?” Said Marley. “You know me too well man; take a sit, perv with you fellow friends” Said Alec with the same smile. ‘I’ll join you guys” Said Nathan while watching a girl sprint. “You guys are such pervs, man” Said Marley even though he was sitting right next to them...

When the movie was over, I had no idea what I'd just seen.

**************************************************

We sat down in a restuarant.

It was so easy to talk to him. Not in the "Tia" way, but just that I felt I could say anything and not be judged.

I told him about the Michigan boyfriend, and he didn't stop laughing for a full minute.

"So I should probably not mess with your mom," he said.

"Probably not," I agreed, as I tried to stop laughing by forcing myself to take a sip of coke.

I ducked my head in an attempt to prevent another laughing fit, and the irritating piece of hair that...

Another day at another life, I thought to myself as I walked home. I won’t go all emo about it and tell you my life sucks, because to you it would most likely be heaven. My family is rich, I am in the popular group every girl in my school is obsessed with my brother. Everything about me is picture perfect, my looks. I have wavy blonde hair to die for; my eyes were very light green almost yellow. I was slender I had always been. And to top it all I have a jock boyfriend, I know how cliché. I let out a deep sigh once I looked at the clock, it was nearly...

Prologue:
"Harper! Aren't you happy she's eating with us?" Gwen asked happily. Harper shot her sister a glare. "It shouldn't be a big deal that your step-mother decides to eat with you." Harper spit out, looking back at the book she was reading. Gwen's face fell. She didn't care what Harper thought, she was going to make the best of this. Their step-mother, Lyn, hadn't eaten with them in 2 months. Gwen walked down the hall toward the kitchen, her sister's words echoing in her head.

In the years following the war the Ministry of Magic struggled to regain the public's trust whilst people struggled to find peace of mind in the uncertainty of Voldemort's disappearance. In 1985 letters start appearing with a very concerning or very hopeful kind of message, depending on your point of view and personal beliefs. They are so anti-establishment, in parts so truthful, and thus potentially dangerous that the Ministry controlled Daily Prophet won't publish them or any talk about them on the Readers' Column.

The letters lay out a vision of future where the Ministry no longer exists...
