A New Poem

Secrets (Spoken from the nine years wisdom)

I have a secret,
Do you want to know?
It’s bursting inside of me,
And I’m not meant to tell,
But if I don’t tell someone,
I’m going to burst!

My secret is that baby brother,
Tom,
DREW ON THE WALL WITH HIS CRAYONS!
But mummy does not know because I cleaned it,
Except mummy knows when something has happened,
You can see it on her face,
But she does not know yet.

I’ve another secret,
Something to tell,
It’s special and sacred and surprising as well,
This secret is bigger and bolder,
It may upset some people,
Promise not to cry?

My secret is that I forgot to do my homework,
My teacher knows…
But my parents don’t,
I took the letter and feed it to the bin,
How will they find out except mum always knows when something is wrong?
She is staring over now,
What must she be thinking?

Ok, here’s the deal,
Another secret to tell,
As long as no one else finds out?
I missed school today,
And yesterday,
I went out with my new friends,
They think I’m cool,
And we are not going to school tomorrow.

My exams are coming up,
And I’m starting to worry,
Maybe,
I should have gone to school,
Mum can see something is wrong,
But she does not comment,
Still.

A secret that’s inside,
Makes me wonder if I should tell,
It’s substantially bigger than before,
I’m guessing it’s good to talk,
I get this feeling that is great,
Whenever I see Simon,
But I can no longer tell if it’s Simon or the needle that makes me happy,
Because Simon is my friend,
At least that’s what he says.

My mum does not know,
Nor does Katie,
Or,
God!
I went to Simon and we kissed,
(I kissed a boy!),
We did more than kiss.

Today,
I am going to the doctors,
Because there may be a problem,
I am having bad nights,
I’m finding it hard to breath,
My head hurts,
My eyes are bad,
The doctor takes a look,
Am I sexually active?

Here’s another secret,
It’s important that you know,
Except others must not know,
They will stare,
They will point,
I am ill,
I have an illness,
They don’t look hopeful,
It’s called AIDS,
My mum’s face now tells a different tale,
She can tell something is wrong,
And she still won’t talk.

One last secret for me to tell,
Then you will know me better than anyone else,
I have gone away,
And I am not coming back,
This is my requiem,
My song,
My warning.

Here is another poem, my newest-

Don’t dabble in depraved, immoral, shameless,
Imperfect, unscrupulous desire,
Stay clean because my mum’s face now tells a different tale,
She can tell something is wrong,
And she still won’t talk.

Anyway, an explanation about why the new poems... now... Last year, I entered a poetry competition called The Foyle Young Poets of the Year where I sent loads of poems in after it being advertised at school and recently I was sent a letter with the book of winners from last year and a letter to say that entries for this years competition are now being accepted and so here starts the new writings due in for July 31st.
The McGillian came out last week and it was great! People actually read it and I have heard from different people that they liked it and are looking forward to the next issue- the beginning of my initiative to get people reading and writing and finally using their imaginations! In just a few weeks, is the beginning of the road to the next issue.
Oh! The wonders of online shopping, is it an addiction, seriously! I opened up an HMV account the other week and since... well, let's say that the HMV server could be in overload. It's not that I keep buying... well, I am but it's that I keep looking around at different things, looking at the prices and sales :D Well there you are... Amazon, HMV... could I get the clothes.... uh.... no.... I have to try the shows on before!
Been watching quite a lot of Friends recently... I finished season 9 & 10... and again pushed myself to the last episode :( So good, funny and yet really upsetting because it's the last one!!!! Oh! What to do! Well, I have started again, back to season 1 and every time I watch it, the funnier it gets and the more I understand, certainly the earlier seasons were gr8! What other TV has been entertaining? CSI, Torchwood, Ashes to Ashes, Damages, Skins, Dexter, The Big Bang Theory, Echo Beach, Moving Wallpaper & Hotel Babylon are all really entertaining me... Sure there will be some reviews soon/// this week the new series of HolbyBlue, House, Dirty Sexy Money & The Friday Night Project starts!
Shows which I have already seen that are coming, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Kyle XY & Grey's Anatomy... this is amongst other shows that I have been recording which are yet to watch, Mad Men, The Last Enemy, Lark Rise to Candle Ford and Reaper... of course back to the life of Ollie!
What can I rant about? iTunes overcharged me!!!! I have decided that illegal downloading is not the way to go and iTunes Store got my details over night... I have been getting their free single of week... which in the last months have actually been pretty good... and then came to the fact that I am going to buy songs... pay money to the artists who have put SO much work into their artfrom and perhapes get their song into the download chart! So far, I am looking at artists that are not major in the UK and are able to buy from iTunes.... which so far has been good but they overcharged me! £0.79 and instead they charged £1.58... why do that.... they could not do anything... then the money was put back and taken again... this happened again this evening... let's just see what happens in the account over the next week!
Hmmm... finished Media CW which is looking great.... we had to do a crime tease... the bit before the credits at the beginning. We planned (for ages!), recorded and then edited (for even longer!).... music done, it's in black and white, there is no rubbish in there and there is loads of other stuff... it is looking good and now done!
I got a clipboard on my wall... it's made of cork and looks great! There is pictures and messages and letters on there... awww... how cute!
And on a final note, my new heroes... Mark Ronson (musician) & Josh Schwartz (creator of The O.C & Gossip Girl)... What do you want me to say about them... they both do the greatest things which entertain me the most and I must say, Version, the Ronson album is great!!!! Here is the new Ronson song, Radiohead cover, Just, with the lead singer of Phantom Planet (the band who created The O.C theme)!

Ollie///Beauty is remembering to blog :D

Well, here it is... another blog. Anyway, what has been happening? Plenty of shows have been on television recently... new series of House, HolbyBlue, Dirty Sexy Money & The Big Bang Theory.
I have officially decided that CSI:NY is better than CSI because the stories are grittier, the setting is must more atmospheric and I prefer the characters...
I am quite tired and am going to leave you with a poem... OH! BTW, I have started writing some new material because the poetry competition (explain more next time) has come around again but currently they are on my memory stick, which is downstairs and I cba to go and get it... but here is one from last year.

Clouds of Dreams

As I watched her sleep,
Peacefully in her bed,
She slept and dreamt alone.

In her dreams the bosoms of love surrounded her,
And the sweeping sensation of the silence,
Which took her to the arrival of the lamb.

In the dream that night,
She was alone on a cloud,
A cloud on which she was allowed to scream,
Deep depression of unknown sympathy
And monotone.

The dream of which she dreamt that night,
She received the unperceived gift of laughter,
And she saw in the far away distance she saw the red,
The sun on which the food is raised,
An oven ready for fought battles.

A thief of succession and fortune,
And calligraphy of the cover of placebo,
The name of the cloud on which she took the name in vain,
Returning to the dream in which she dreamt that night.

She woke in the morning,
She felt no different,
She could not remember,
Me watching her,
Asleep,
The sad unfortunate warrior.


And on a finishing note: Mark Ronson is my hero and I break up for Easter in one four days... all the more time for revision, the exams are just a couple of weeks away now!

Ollie///Beauty is nature of my day

It's Wednesday, I'm sitting here writing this post and watching My Family on DVD, has anyone noticed how much Zoe Wanamaker smiles in this?
Anyway, I have the common cold or 'acute viral nasopharyngitis' as I like to call it. I have not slept properly in the last two nights because when you lay back, your nose blocks up and so you spend about 20 minutes trying to get into the right position with the large number of pillows, the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Did not go to school yesterday, so I caught up on my lying down, my moping around, to be completely honest, I can't bare not going to school, I hate catching up on work.
Before I continue, I am going to give you my playlist for the week.

1. Van Tramp - Help Me Make It (See video below)



2. Elvis Ain't Dead- Scouting for Girls
3. Ride A White Horse- Goldfrapp
4. Ready for the Floor- Hot Chip
5. Highness- Envy & Other Sins
6. Middle of the Night- Sherwood
7. Broken- Lifehouse
8. Moving to New York- The Wombats
9. If I Had Eyes- Jack Johnson
10. Leave It Alone- Operator Please

Over the past few weeks, an idea has been forming, that idea... The McGillian. To make things clear, the house I am a part in at school is called McGills and because of my partiality to a bit of writing, I thought, 'hey!' why not start up the house magazine again?
Well to cut a short story, shorter, three weeks later, several conversations and hours of computer publishing, the magazine has been created *Dr.Frankenstein's laughter, it's alive!*All I need now are the articles, the modern and intellectual magazine about the house, for the house includes all the latest news about the pupils, what they have taken part in and what we have done to make the school a better place. Of course that is not it, in the 12 pages, we also have reviews, discussions and interviews. There are plenty of pictures and hopefully will be well received, so far, the few friends who have seen the design have liked it.
Brain storm the other, was had, says Yoda. I thought, why just a magazine? Why not bring the tradition into the 21st century? 100% of the aimed readers have computers with internet connection, so why not open a website as well? http://themcgillian.blogspot.com was then created, this will have all the articles from the current issue but because of the half termly release date, the site will be updated with all the latest news as it comes in... My head is full of ideas... OOO... :D
In other news, let's look at more reasons why this blog is not just another nobodies blog, why read the commons's student's blog? As well as the mind boggling discussion? The reviews, the works by myself and of course practice for my massive career LOL///
The beauty of the nature of the day, was the topic of choice and today was filled with very little but in the magnificent void that was today, I planned many journey.
The life list ATM!:
1. Get AAAB at AS
2. Get AAA at A2
3 Get into a gr8 university (There are some in mind :D)
4. Do brilliantly there and decide on the career of my choice, I want to be one of those gifted people who gets the choice...
5. Get jobs///Find love///Move country///Be happy...
Of course the very last point will take a very long time and as Peter Vardy (philosopher...) said last Friday at a special lecture for RS students, people always want to be happy. He was not being cynical, he was being (what's the word- it's when he is not talking rubbish and although you may not like the truth, it is the truth!) Anyway, he said that people always want to be happy but they won't be because something is always bound to go wrong, well if that is the case Mr.Vardy then don't let my succeeding get in the way of your opinions.
Between each of my life list points of course are things for the here and now- like I hope the first issue of The McGillian is liked and that maybe at some point in an English lesson we will be able to finish 'Heart of Darkness' and that we will finish 'The Second Coming' in R.S!
Tell you something funny...(who is he talking to?) Today in Media, the best subject I (Heart) Media! Um... well yesterday on my sick day, my class watched Britz for the exam and so I watched it at home but saw further than my class saw, well let's say I used the wrong word and changed the meaning... I said to my teacher, I surpassed you, when I meant to say passed you... he found the joke in this, HEHE!
We were learning about Type A today in Psychology- if you are Type A then you have a set of characteristics that includes being impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about one's status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. The Type B personality, in contrast, is patient, relaxed, and easy-going. There is also a Type AB or Type X mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized and have a combination of both types of personality. In case you are interested, I am a mix of the two, Type X!
Time for another piece of music, number 5 for the list above, Envy & Other Sins



Hope you liked :D

And to finish, time for a poem:

River Sins

She moved out across the stepping stones,
Head in hands,
Her tears fall slowly,
And the blood flows thickly.

As she feels the pain of the her murder,
She looks upon the meaning,
As she see’s his ghost,
They were once lovers,
Within each other.

Her baby kicked hard,
His baby kicked harder,
Slowly she looks up,
And see’s the darkness around her.

She played the game,
And she lost,
She saw the game played,
And joined.

The devil met her beyond the river side,
They met beyond the sea,
In another world the baby cried,
Blood of tears,
And river of hate.

She looked at a book,
In which says we are sinners,
And she reviews her situation,
She reads,
And her life is in review.

Watch out for a review, coming any day now :D
Beauty...
