Dear Mr. President

As November 4th draws near, I ponder who will be the next President of the United States. I believe that the candidate John McCain is to be the man for the job.

McCain is morally more where I stand than Obama. My main issue is abortion. McCain is against abortion which makes me very proud to say I would cast my vote for him. However, I wish he would try to get an amendment passed to outlaw abortion all together instead of letting states individually decide.

As I right a letter to the the future President, John McCain, my goal is to try and persuade him to make abortion illegal.

Sci-Fi as a Genre

Having just finished reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, I have confirmed my belief that Science-Fiction is a ridiculous genre. Sci-Fi has never been my type of genre to read. To me, the books are pointless. I would much rather read about something that has happened in the past or something that is happening now in this day and time. Something I can learn from. Aliens and Bigfoots have never appealed to me.

"Why," I wonder "can't such talented writers produce something actually worth reading?" For example, when I read about something that happened in the past, the feeling is as if I have learned something. When reading Sci-Fi, I feel my brain slowly filling with nonsense about Spaceships in New Mexico.

Some people that read Sci-Fi live in a world all their own. I prefer to live in the present where I know what is happening and remember what has happened in the past. I find myself perfectly fine with not knowing what will happen tomorrow.

The Life of Ms. Lucious Lips

In the world of Sparkle n’ Shine, Ms. Luscious Lips is always saving the day. She is very easy to recognize, since she is the only woman armed with a mascara wand. Flying about in a long diamond studded evening gown, she reminds women of just how gorgeous they really are. Ms. Luscious Lips has perfect make-up as well. Her hair is always curled in tiny spirals and left to dance as she soars through the air and through the minds of the women she helps. Ms. Luscious Lips also has dazzling superpowers. With the slightest tickle of her wand upon a head, in she goes, prioritizing the ladies’ minds. Beauty, of course, always comes first. While the patient is asleep, Ms. Luscious Lips gives make-over after make-over with her wand. If Luscious Lips wants it, the wand does it! Lashes cured, nails painted, and ears pierced. Ms. Luscious Lips being the sweet person she is never wishes to wake or startle her patient. With a suspicious glittering powder she sprinkles her head, making her completely invisible. All she leaves behind is a note stating where she got the beauty products, so if the woman desires, she can continue to use them. Without Ms. Luscious Lips, where would the women in Sparkle n’ Shine be?
