The Lion King....

Ideas of Movie titles before we finally came up with the one that worked best.

(Something I think the creators had gone through before their final decision).

(I)Kingdom of the Wild Cats

(II)Royal Felines

(III)The King of the Pridelands

(IV)Princely animal Ruler

(V)Emperor of the wild

(VI)Lion Guard

(VII)Simba- The Next Heir

(VIII)Mufasa's pride

(IX)The Jungle leader

(X)Simba's life journey.

Timon: 'Okay these all seem great crew, but let's at least come up with something else. Any bright ideas people?'

Pumba: 'I got it. Tell me what you think ´bout dis one Timon? How does this ring in your ear/mind: "The Lion King"!'

Then the story was ready to venture out to all parts of the world for family time, suspense, full Joy and laughter.

A ten different lines with the same meaning poem tittled “she is dead”

She is dead,

Silent till judgement day,

Kicking the bucket she can't pick anymore,

Maintaining her age forever,

Lying on one spot till eternity,

Her heart, tired of beeping.

Eating pizza along the milky way,

Lost in between time,

Occupying the world of her imagination, 

Shivering under global warming,

She is really gone too soon.

looking at myself in the mirror

pulling apart myself 

tearing at my confidence 

fucked up by reality 

drowning in my sorrow 

broken down and loaded with unwanted thoughts of living 

walls of the past caving in 

hollow shallow heart 

knives sharping daggers 

body in fetal position

nails  piercing my conscience

ghost apart of my shadows 

hands arthritic and bent up 

constant plans screwed up hope 

faith mythical in believing in god will save me from going under 

two fingers down the throat puking up the truth 

spewing cutlets of facts 

no pretty words to cover up these opinions 

only the truth matters 

I am empty inside 

I don´t feel alive 

no I am picking myself apart 

and trying to pick up my heart 

my past breaks me 

my present revives me 

no matter how I began this story it ends the same 

I am broken and loaded with pain

Where’s Caden?

Mommy and Daddy look so worried.

-

I want to ask my daddy what's the matter, but he doesn't like it when I ask him things while he's on the phone.

- 

Caden, Caden, Caden, my mean older brother's name spoken softly. 

-

Caden didn't come home from school today.

- 

I don't mind so much that Caden's missing, because he always hits me when he's here.

-

Mommy is crying so much, and she says that Caden is gone.

-

The police officer asks many questions.

- 

Daddy promises that we will find who killed him.

-

I don't think they can really catch the killer, but I nod anyway to make Mommy and Daddy feel better.

-

They would never think I killed my brother.

The Death of a Boarder

The boarder in my room was a nuisance, so I wasn't exactly sad when he went missing.

The old man had a wobbly tooth, whiskey breath, and kissed my wife.

"Mr. Robinson, we're with the LAPD, and we'd like to talk to you about Nathaniel Gibbons."

"These damn immigrants."

I greeted the Irishman with an offer he couldn't refuse.

"Inmate 857135, please step up and state your name."

Sweat poured down my face as I continued to hack through the body with the ax.

In the summer of 1918, Mallory and Lana Callaghan made a grim discovery.

The genealogist looked at the woman solemnly.

In 1918, Gary Robinson and his wife Betsy were apprehended for the murder of an Irish boarder.

Destiny’s Choice

1. Carinna reached for something solid to grab hold of as the ship lurched violently in the raging waters.

2.Carinna's heart rallied as the storm took everyone's attention and allowed her to run and hide.

3.Knowing she'd be found out soon enough, Carinna, silently whispered her thanks for this timely storm that would afford her a moment to sort out the truth.

4. "what have we here?" a huge drunken sailor chortled, grabbing hold of Carinna's already bruised body.

5. This was no ordinary storm at sea.

6. "Man your stations!", was the last frantic cry Carinna heard as she slipped into oblivion.

7. Carinna had prepared herself for a little rocking of the damned boat, But now nausea warned her it was not enough.

8. Finally, safe in her little cabin, Carinna reached under her right breast and with trembling fingers, she held the illegal and priceless stone.

9. Holding on, white knuckled and ashen-faced, Corinna suddenly let go and gave herself to the monstrous wave that swallowed her there.

10. "I - will - kill Columbus for talking me into coming with him," she vowed as another wave exploded on deck sweeping two mates past her, into the furious heart of the sea.

7) Last night, I thought I was about to be kidnapped by a UFO, but I was wrong.

Onward to a Great Adventure

I'm free, the world open to me.

The wind rushes by as I begin my adventure.

Time is meaningless as the skies fly by and the flowers embrace me.

The magic words set me free.

Nothing is restricted, I've past all those limits.

Voices echo around me and I know I'm home.

The lock is finally broken and the doors glide away from each other.

The warm air seems to bring promises of never ending pleasant dreams.

Happiness spreads through me and I can't wait to start.

She's smiling, her eyes shut, and her body cold as they lower her to the ground.

A Summer in England

1. The Bailey Castle was a formidable site to behold.

-

2. I had no intention of visiting the Bailey's that week, but a friend, curse him forever, somehow convinced me to join him in the country side.

-

3. Oh the woes of finding myself at the wrong place at the wrong time.

-

4. Lord Bailey had been murdered and for some reason everybody suspected me.

-

5. There is much to be said about the English country side; I have only been there once, and I think that was quite enough for me.

-

6. If only I had paid more attention in history class, perhaps I could have avoided the touchy situation I found myself in at Lord Bailey's castle.

-

7. I was at once thrilled and slightly intimidated by the chance to visit and stay at the Bailey Castle.

-

8. The sky was very blue that morning.

-

9. I was fascinated at the prospect of going to England, slightly less so about the circumstances that gave me such an opportunity.

-

10. I fancy myself a bit of an intellect, but I was thoroughly bamboozled by the Baileys.

(P.S. I am now very curious about where this story might go. I don't, however, feel like I could write it.) :-o

East London- 1982.

1- "You fucking nonce, now what have you done?"

2- Vince scrubbed back and forth muttering curse after curse at his friend, who had, as usual. ruined it.

3- Terry clasped his ear as the painful ringing echoed throughout the night, it was soon that he would realise his error.

4- "You should probably put that down before so..." The man starts, but is cut short as he whips back at the sound of a shot that rattles around London.

5- "a few things happened, but in the end, we escaped the gangs, and the police. Even our wives, while making a killing doing it"

6- "I'm just a car salesman, why am I involved in this?" Vince thought as multiple armed men burst onto the forecourt.

7- "Terry where did you get this?"

"Well I nicked it didn't I"

"You fucking idiot Terry" Vincent wheezed at the car sat in front of him.

8- "Hey?"

"Yeah?"

"You ever think that this might go wrong?"

"All the time, you thought it up after all"

The blond haired man replied as he zipped his flies and walked out.

9- the van rattled and shook as it trundled down the cobble lane, in the back sat 4 men, all looking like they had just run a marathon.

10- the camera snapped and the cell door shut, but the man smirked, in 2 years he would be rich.
