Poem By Dylan Thomas

Well, here is a poem that my English class read together and deciphered. After going through its meaning I really liked it. So here it is

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

Thought Wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, 
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, 
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

----Dylan Thomas.


I will leave it up to you to get to the meaning of this. Colin Out!

A New Adventure

So, I didn't think that I would have anything to write about on this, but I am corrected. Today at about 6:00 pm, as I was driving home from work, an event happened that will forever change my life. I was pulling up slowly to a red light when out of the corner of my eye I notice a car next to my driving into my lane. The car bumps into my and scrapes up the Trooper.. At first I panic thinking of all the damage that could be done. I start fearing what will happen, even though I know the accident was her fault. A young girl steps out of the car and walks up to my drivers side window and I open the door to see what has happened. A car to the side of me tells me to back up and that no damage will have been done. So I back up and I hear the scraping of my car against her mirror. After I pull over to the side of the road, I discover that virtually no damage has been done to my car! Instantly I felt the Spirit of Forgiveness take over me and I felt no anger or hatred towards this woman. I was glad that nobody was injured and that almost no damage but paint swapping was done. So it was quite an exciting time for me, I had never been in an accident before, and luckily nothing happened to either car, and we can all go back to normal life!
