What's the point? Well, in stars, there's five. General MacArthur, Eisenhower, a few others, but they weren't top dog. An older general, still alive, was technically over them, but that may have been another war. Would that make him a six-star general? Who knows? There are also restaurants. I've been to a number of those. The fondest memories from Italy, some of the best food I've ever tasted. In Venice, we wandered down the streets until finding this little place at the end of an alley, a literal hole in the wall. I ordered an olive-oil based pizza, something truly Italian. My classmates ordered a pepperoni pizza in their redneck accent. Classic. They got a salami pizza. Then, we got a fantastic meal of pasta on the way to Assisi. They showed us how they made it, and we ate the noodles they'd made during the previous group's meal. It was in this little house in the Italian countryside, straight out of Assassin's Creed II. Assassin's Creed, now there's something else that's five stars. You get to go through history and meet all these famous people, all the while fighting an evil order. I binge played Assassin's Creed: Odyssey this past Christmas. Why they even bothered making two story-lines, one with Kassandra and the other with Alexios makes no sense to me. The character just fits Kassandra so much better, and it adds so much more depth for it to be a female lead. Either way, though, you can't beat running around Ancient Greece during the Pelopponesian War, trying to bring your family together again and kill the Cult that tore you apart in the first place. Yes, you heard that right. (Or is it read?) A cult! You're getting to hunt down cult members, also fighting legendary creatures, like cyclops and Minotaur. You can tame wolves and bears and leopards, and you have a pet eagle. It's bad-ass. My stream is running dry. Five star, restaurants, steak place in Chicago, Phantom of the Opera! I first saw Phantom in Chicago for my sister's sixteenth birthday. For mine, we went to New York City and saw Wicked on Broadway. Both five stars, but a new one I love is (not Hamilton, although good) Six. It's a retelling of Henry VIII's wives, and they're arguing over who suffered the most under him. It's one giant roast session, and it's great. Speaking of roast, C.S. Lewis knows how to roast his own characters. My evidence? The Chronicles of Narnia! He regularly roasts and is brutally honest about his own characters. Oh! Class is over. Time to go!

Creative Writing
PoetryThis semester, I'm in a Creative Writing course, and I figured I'd publish some of the things I've written in it thus far. Some of them have very specific formats that are going to be tricky to write on a laptop, but I'm going to do my best.
