Civil wars

Right now there is a lot of talk about the golf superstar, Tiger Woods, and his recent show of behavior that suprised many people, including myself.

Woods was found to have had an affair with his wife with over 10 women, and had taken drugs, like HGH and pain-killers. When news got out, many people wondered if Tiger would ever recooperate and return to the game of golf to try and defeat Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors.

As I watch the news on golf, I hear different opinions on this. Some say he should be able to return to the game with no penalties and try to forgive and forget of his mistakes.

On the other hand, there are some who say Tiger should NOT be able to return to the PGA Tour because of his bizzare behavior, and for taking the drugs.

In my opinion, I think Tiger should be able to return to the game. He made a mistake just like every other human does. I also belive the PGA should be more strict about the use of drugs on tour. Currently there is no rule on the use of steriods, and no tests are given to the tour players for other drug uses. If they were to crack down on this policy, then I think there would be fewer problems with the pro's personal life.

"SQUIGGLY LINE"

Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid.
I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy, squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh squiggly line, it's alright. You are forgiven!

"Grinds My Gears"

You know what really "Grinds My Gears?" When teachers assign tons of homework, and don't give us enough time to work on it!!! Especially when the assignments are pointless and teach us nothing about the course!!! That is what really "Grinds My Gears."

"Book Talk"

I have recently finished the book, "The Red Badge of Courage" by Stephen Crane This book was an assigned read to my english 11 class. I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would when it was first assigned. The plot is a camp site along a riverbank, during the Civil War. The main character Henry Fleming, is scared that he will run in terror when his group decides to march again.This is a great story and an exciting, yet emotional read.
