When is the last time you've heard of a boy and his employer going to dig up famous people's skulls to study the brain and some one's characteristics? Well that's the exact case for Matthew, an orphaned boy after his whole family died from the cholera epidemic. He has had to dig through trash cans, make shelter out of the streets, and survive with no money. Until now. Dr. ABC and Matthew will go on a wild ride to find the perfection of human kind.
Matthew Morrissey was born and raised just as every child is. But once death strikes his whole family, he is on his own. He lives on the street until one day, he comes past a help wanted sign for Dr. ABC and his phrenology business. He goes to the address that it says on the sign and ends up on the fourth floor of an apartment building with a short, plump man named Dr. ABC. Dr. ABC is in the business of phrenology which is the study of the mind that can detect a person's personality and characteristics. Dr. ABC hopes that some day, he can make man-kind perfect.
To truly test Matthew's loyalty to the him, Dr. ABC, puts him to his biggest task yet. Dr. ABC and Matthew go to the prison to dig up none other than Henry Bedlow. Matthew was tentative at first but eventually followed through with the plan. Dr. ABC wants Matthew to become his apprentice phrenologist when he grows up so Matthew studies many subjects including french, Latin, biology and many more subjects. For now, Matthew just cleans up around and helps Dr. ABC with his appointments. Dr. ABC's business was running really low and nobody was coming. Matthew decided to make a sign and the people started to flood into Dr. ABC's workplace.
Once Dr. ABC and Matthew got enough money, they moved onto many many more cities. Well there was one major news line that came up. The French were going and digging up Napoleon Bonapart. This was great news for the two for he is one of the greatest leaders to every step foot on the earth. They obviously went and while the French waited until the 25th anniversary of his exile, Matthew and Dr. ABC came up with a plan to dig him up while nobody was there. While they put their plan into action just 2 nights before his digging up by the French. They ran into a brick wall on their way. The bodysnatcher. While Gin attacked the bodysnatcher, Matthew and Dr. ABC didn't know what to do. Eventually, Matthew tried to pull Gin off because they were on the edge of the cliff. It was too late. Although Gin was alright, the bodysnatcher had fallen onto the rocks that lead into the ocean. He was gone forever. Dr. ABC and Matthew had not gone to do their duggery on Napoleon and left him to the French. They returned back to the ship with not a sense of pride but pitty for they had wasted at human's life.
Matthew and Dr. ABC were two phrenologists on a mission that is yet to be completed. Though they made a vallient effort, they did not succeed but still have a bright future ahead of them. They have created a great bond and a friendship that will last forever.

The Poetry Within
The one thing need for life
A brain
The only thing that is hard enough to hold it
A head
How it is studied
Bumps
Where is it recorded
The divine place that keeps everything
How do we know it's there
Everyday studies
Who will make it possible
Everyone and Anyone
What does it make known
Personality and smarts
What makes it realistic
Phrenology
When will it save all of the people in the world
Right now
A brain
The only thing that is hard enough to hold it
A head
How it is studied
Bumps
Where is it recorded
The divine place that keeps everything
How do we know it's there
Everyday studies
Who will make it possible
Everyone and Anyone
What does it make known
Personality and smarts
What makes it realistic
Phrenology
When will it save all of the people in the world
Right now

The Meaning of Love
What is the meaning of love. Is there a point. If you ask yourself, what is love, what would you say. Everybody has love and uses it daily. It's what separates us from good and bad. Love is a healthy behavior that helps us through everyday life. What makes us happy when we're sad and brings us up when we're down. Love is a life-long needed skill and is always needed no matter where you are, when you are, and what you are.
Love is a word that cannot be described and will not be defined. It defies all odds. It doesn't give and doesn't break unless you make it break. Love doesn't control you, you control love and it will do everything and anything. It can make your day good or bad but it always pushes and exceeds expectations. When love brings you down, it is always the thing that once again, brings you back up. It is the light in the dark. It will make anything and everything good if you want it to. It can and will make a foggy day clear and will fill a picture that is black and white, with color.
A world without love. What would it be like. If you ask me, it would be a world of hopelessness and chaos. Without love, nothing would be the way it is and everything would take a wild turn down the drain until the world is one of not happy, helpful people, but a dystopic, sad, world full of hatred. There would be no holidays, no giving of thanks and no helpful hand to hold. There would be no guide to life and it would be one big mess and there would be no point of living. Nothing that wasn't right at first would not be set right. A world without love is a world of treachery and despair. No beginning, but always an end.
Anyplace and everyplace is filled with love. It is only certain places where you can make your heart flow and pour out everything that you have. It's a special place in your mind and only you know where it is. It's where you can do anything and everything with your heart and you are isolated for the moment and go to the place where you want to be at that moment. You can be you and no one else. You are the only thing that matters. It is where anything that is built up inside you, comes out. Your heart can pour out what has been locked inside for what feels like ages and nothing can be filtered out but everything is real and true.
When you think of love, the only way to describe it would be a passion because everyone has their viewpoint of the meaning but it is all something that has to do with passion. When you think about what love means to you, there are millions of answers and almost all are different. Love is one thing that everybody shares and is one of the only thing everybody shares. It is the thing that brings the world as a whole together. It is the thread in a scarf. It packs us tightly together and helps us become acquainted with each other. It bounds us together as a whole so that we may communicate and understand one another like never before.
Love is like a endless circle. It just keeps on coming. It is a relentless act that keeps pushing to make everything happy. It is the thing that makes your heart pump with joy every day. It makes your heart pound with ease. It makes you relax into a different world that is like no other. It is a world full of happy things. It makes a world that when is damaged, can be healed. It repairs hearts that are scarred with many filthy truths. It is a clenser that will flush out all evil and hold onto all good and make the world a bright place to live.

Brooklyn State of Mind Lyrics
Chandler: In Brooklyn, look in the Nolans home. They gotta child named Francie. Dat where she roam. Living in the time before telephones. She works all the time to pay off the loans. Her bosses voice drones, and her peers give her threatening tones. To top things off her brothers not mature. In a tough world as serene as a picture. Yeah in Francie’s world she’s still believin’ that there are better places that she could be leavin’. Francie’s dreamin’ that she could go to places worth conceiving. She’s livin in a world with more danger than not. She has to overcome things like a dad on shots. He drinks all night and sleeps all day, they all know he’s throwing his life away.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, that’s where she roam. Brooklyn, Brooklyn, dats Francie ’s home.
In Brooklyn this kinda stars a rarity, but she’s tough she don’t accept no charity.
Bradford: Johnny is a poor hopeless man, going through life without a game plan, but on the other hand. his singing voice he could start a band and His dance moves could be the best in the land, yes this guy is definitely not bland. Yeah all this booze will make him lose, but this kinda life will make him choose. But to truly tighten his noose, is for his family to cut him loose.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, dat’s where she roam. Brooklyn, Brooklyn, dats Francie’s home. In Brooklyn this kinda stars a rarity, but she’s tough she don’t accept no charity
Bradford: Katie, she’s the kind of lady, who’ll never act shady, yeah she works all day scrubbing the floors, getting in between all the doors, ya know she got a million chores, and the soap damages her skin pores. The story of her life will be in Brooklyn forever more.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s where she roam, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, dats Francie ’s home.
In Brooklyn this kinda star is a rarity, but she’s so tough she don’t accept no charity.
Mattie T: The little brother is another who never wants out of brooklyns cover. No he doesn’t want to learn even though his mom yearns for him to turn that way. No every day he says that he ’s a feller living a stellar Brooklyn life, even though it’s filled with grief and strife.
Bradford: Yeah Katie is another mother living under cover without a lover, with a daughter and a son, she thinks hes the one. Gotta husband on the drink, hes always on the brink of surviving off drinks. Yea gotta finda way to survive another day, cuz hes just another castaway, gone to pass away, yea we going fast today, cuz hes gotta last another day. Francie, what with that girl, she’s so nice she rocks everybodys world, she sets everyone’s mind a twirl, yeah she reads, with her hair in beads, gets all the leads on the news today, just from where she stay. Yeah in Brooklyn these streets will blow your mind, filled with wunderkind, yeah day and night , life’s tight, countless fights, lives waiting to be filled with light, with people mad who bite, so people roam slight. Gotta pick trash in the street. Gotta get these people on the beat, and straight to sleep, Cause they all feel the heat.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s where she roam, Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s Francies home. In Brooklyn this kinda star’s a rarity, but she’s so tough she don’t except no charity.
Mattie T: Neeley yeah he belongs to a clan, while he’s tryin to be man, but hes been drunk once, and he was in a funk once, he was a little punk once, and hes getting all the junk out, but hes still gotta family that cares for him handily, yeah his sister’s gotta job so she doesn’t have to rob,
Chandler: Yeah we got a Brooklyn, Brooklyn state of mind, the serenity here, heals the blind, oooh the racial tension, your house’s pension, people don’t pay attention, oh and did we fail to mention what went wrong, we been in Brooklyn too long. Come to Brooklyn to stay and see, all victims of discrepancy, poverty far as the eye can see, but splendidly we closen our ties, they’re there forever until somebody dies. We find the neglected, and the disrespected, and the unprotected, can we stand together, whether or not, we own a lot. We need a little land, a place stand, built by hand, or have we stranded, have we been branded inferior, by our superior.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s where she roam, Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s Francies home. In Brooklyn this kinda star’s a rarity, but she’s so tough she don’t except no charity.
Chandler: Sissy, she’s been involved with tons of men, and nobody knows where she’ been, with her dresses she wants to be someone’s bestest. Yeah she only wants a baby, but with the problems it’s a maybe, with the deaths it’s operation no go, so she’s forced to go solo.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s where she roam, Brooklyn, Brooklyn that’s Francies home. In Brooklyn this kinda star’s a rarity, but she’s so tough she don’t except no charity.
Mattie T: Yeah, before the times of Jay-Z Brooklyn’s kinda crazy, lifetimes get hazy, people getten spacey, wearing dresses so lacey, when there was nobody named Stacey. Yeah the brother’s getttin a little lova. The people in Brooklyn get so so scary when there was no Mathew perry. Yeah , there’s some creepy convicts, they ask what’s the verdict, as they try to predict, what the future holds, fates in bold, bonds of gold, street corner mold, what they all where told, before they grew too old. We ask are you fo sho, what’s the total, escape is our motto, where’s your afro our bro.
Bradford: AAAAAOOOOOHHHHHHHÿÿ!

Walking Home
Aaron, Brad and I all walk home after school. One day, we did some really strange things. First, the UPS guy has an eye on us from now on lets say. Every time we would see him, we would wave to him and run back and forth across the street as many times as we could before he came. If that wasn't enough, we would talk to him a little bit and he would never respond. Next, Aaron left and Brad and I got to SS and the entrance to Steeple Chase and there are two big signs that have Steeple Chase written on them and lights shining on them. Well, me Brad decided to play the statue game in front of them. Every time a car past, we would stand perfectly still and act like a statue. We got more into this game and we decided to play dead on the sign of Steeple Chase.
Eventually, this got a bit boring so we started to try the rope trick. If you don't know what the rope game is, all you do is act like you have a rope in your hands and you stand on opposite sides of the street and act like your pulling tight on a rope and try to get the car to stop. If they don't you jump and look like the car pulled you along with it. We tried it on some people. I never worked but some of the people were amused by it, others were not. For example, we tried it on some high school guys. They were not in a good mood. They drove right through and beeped at us.
Now if that wasn't enough for a walk home, we put our musical talents and displayed them to the world by singing Hey Jude to the World. Some people were amused but yet again, others were not. It didn't affect us at all. We just kept singing. If you haven't noticed, we don't really care what anybody says about us, it just flows. If that wasn't enough to do on a walk home, we were cutting through someones yard and there was a huge dog right on the porch that we didn't see. Anyways, it barked and we ran but it chased us but luckily, it had an electric fence. Well that's it. Trust me, there are plenty of more adventures to come.

Sledding
Jack, Aaron, Kyle, and me went sledding last weekend. We went to this ski hill in Waukeshau. This hill is like three times as tall as Dead Man's Hill and is the same steepness. The only downfall is that people always get in your way so you have to like slow down halfway down the hill and you never go that fast. It really sitnks. Anyway, there are four different hills that you can go down. We went down the 2nd fastest and the last fastest. The fastest one was filled with creepers and it was like 5 at night and was getting really dark outside. There was a jump on both of them but the other one like stopped you from going but we kept trying to do it. We went off the jump for the other one like 4 times each. I had two good launchs but that was it. We then went over to the other hill not know that it was really slow but there was like nobody there so we figured that we would try it out. We would get a big running start and go off the jump there. One time, Jack ran up and over-jumped the sled and did a faceplant right into the snow. It was really funny and me and Kyle were cracking up. Aaron didn't really see it but Jack had snow in his mouth and ears and everything. We took one slide down the good hill and then we had to leave. I was finally going really fast but then Kyle ran into me and ruined it. It was really fun and funny.
