I'm going to relate some norse legends with christianity. It may be weird, but I'll try to get my point across.
First of all, there was Sigmund, a man sent by Odin, the Chief norse god. He was brave, fearless and strong. Then he up and died and the only trace left of him was a magical sword. See, I think the magical sword could be like Eve's faith, once she saw the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God told her not to eat. Her faith was broken immediately.
Then Regin, the dwarf, tried to rejoin the sword to use it for evil, just like Satan the Serpent did with Adam's faith. Sigurd (Sigmund's child), like Adam, was tricked into killing a dragon that was Regin's brother. Sigurd was ashamed.
But later, Regin was defeated. (You can learn much more about the legend in Wikipedia. Just look up "Ring of the nibelungs") This is like how Jesus, at the Cross, at Calvary, at Golgoth died and defeated the devil.
So the lesson of both stories would be dealing with obedience, not to stray away like a lost sheep.
That's it. I just wanted to show you what I thought.
This blog has comics on it that make you think about things. Enjoy.

Major Motion Picture: Salt
Movie: Salt
Star: Angelina Jolie/Evelyn Salt
ABOUT THE FILM
The movie begins with the release of Evelyn Salt, a russian spy. Two years later, Salt is in the CIA, spying on people.
At this time, no one longer believes that Salt is a spy, and when a man is questioned at CIA, Salt is found is found to really be a spy, because the man exposes her and his neuroscan is found to be truthful.
Salt sucessfully gets away, and then she reunites with her teacher in her spy-training, who is also the questioned man. But when Evelyn Salt discovers that her teacher killed her husband, she murders him, right after he tells her that her mission is to kill the president of the USA.
Then, Salt goes on crazy attacks at certain places. Right after an old friend at the CIA (who turned out to be russian spy) kills the president, completing Evelyn's mission, she discovers he was actually a traitor that betrayed Salt and set her up, Evelyn kills him as she is captured.
Then Evelyn is taken away in an airplane. But she escapes-AGAIN.
Likely to have a sequel.
MY OPINION:
I recommend this movie. It's action-packed, filled with drama, and lots of great escapes.
Movie Rating: 9/10

THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET
Author: Psudonymous Bosch
Protagonist(s): Cassandra (referred to as "Cass") and Max-Ernest
Antagonists: Ms. Mauvais and Dr.L (Full name discovered nearing to the end)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Sorry, I've only read two of the books, I don't know if there's any information about the fictional author Psuedonymous Bosch.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The book starts by saying that the book is nonfiction but that none of the names of the characters were changed "for your safety as well as mine".
Then it talks about a girl named Cassandra, a "survivalist. But then she comes across a box labeled: The Symphony of Smells by Gloria, a realtor that salvaged the box from a fire that took place in a magician's house, who is presumed to be dead. As she is investigating the box, a boy named Max-Ernest, a boy with a mental condition that psychologists argue about, as his parents argued about his name, walks up and introduces himself, and asks what she is doing. Then Cassandra lets Max-Ernest learn about The Symphony of Smells. Together they solve a code that reads "Help".
After seeing that, the kids' schedule is to go to the magician's house. Nothing is burnt there.
Soon, the children find the magician's diary, but they have a close encounter with a woman named Ms. Mauvais and Dr.L who want the Symphony of Smells, but Gloria tells them that she gave it away. Ms. Mauvais sees Cass, but only for a millisecond, and the kids run off.
When reading the diary, the children find out that Ms. Mavais is evil. And then the kids solve lots of mysteries, including missing people, elixir, and A Confusion of the Senses. And Cass tries to rescue a boy by committing fraud!
This book is not a major motion picture yet.

A Book Review: A Series of Unfortunate Events; The Bad Beginning
Weird, I know. Instead of poems and STORIES, it'll be poems, movie reviews and book reviews.
THE BAD BEGINNING:
Author: Lemony Snicket, aka Daniel Handler
Illustrator: Brett Helquist
Protagonists: Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire
Antagonist: Count Olaf
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lemony Snicket
(This is about the fictional Lemony Snicket)
Lemony Snicket, according to my research, fell in love with a young woman named Beatrice (the Baudelaires mom). What I THINK happened was that while at a party at her mansion, a fire occured. Lemony Snicket knew that this would happen, so according to my logic, someone purposely started the fire. Lemony Snicket was the only survivor, and as this happened Lemony Snicket's heart was broken as he saw that Beatrice's heart belonged to a man named Bertrand, who was the Baudelaires father since fourteen years ago. That's what I think happened; most of what I told you wasn't even revealed in the books. But then again, there still is much to be revealed in the books, even though the last book in the series has been published. Discover for yourself...
Lemony Snicket is convicted of false felonies reported by the Daily Punctilio, a sloppily written newspaper, and because of those reports, Beatrice did not want to marry him. But his trial was delayed, so now he has time to write about the Baudelaire orphans.
ABOUT THE BOOK: (The First in the Series) The Bad Beginning
After the Baudelaire Parents (Beatrice and Bertrand) die in a fire (which I think turns out to be arson), the Baudelaire youngsters, Violet, Klaus and Sunny are informed at Briny Beach by Mr. Arthur Poe (identified throughout the series as Mr. Poe), a banker in charge of the fortune that the Baudelaire parents left to their children.
The Baudelaire orphans are put into the care of Count Olaf, a disgusting, greedy man who wants their fortune. He attempts to do this with a play called The Marvelous Marriage, but with a real Justice of The Peace (A contract that people sign to make the marriage official and legal) When a person is married, then they have any and all rights to each other's money. And they can marry while under eighteen with permission from their guardian. Count Olaf pretends to be an actor in the play, but tries to marry the Violet, fourteen years of age and the oldest Baudelaire child. Can the Baudelaires stop Count Olaf's despicable scheme?
This book is now a major motion picture, entitled "Lemony Snicket's: A series of Unfortunate Events," portraying 3 out of the 13 books by Lemony Snicket.

The Little Angel
This is the story of a little angel.
As some may know, when a little child dies, he is turned into a little angel. Now one day, there was a little child named Aafie. His parents were wonderful.
But one day, the child had a fever. He died holding a red rose in his hand.
Aafie had a vision of an angel. The angel asked, "Are you ready?" Aafie instinctively said "Yes" and the next thing he knew, he was in heaven, still holding that rose.
Everyone had to give an offering to God in heaven, like their favorite things, drawings, etc.
But because the boy was good, he gave his heart and the rose to God.
God gave the gifts back, and Aafie went to paradise. Sadly, though, the child missed his family.
He cried. One tear fell on the rose.
Suddenly his family walked right out of the flower and greeted him while they were sleeping. Aafie could visit his family in heaven every time he wanted to.
And that is how you can become an angel in heaven. You must give your heart to God.
I know, it's sad. But it has a happy ending. And I hope everyone will have a happy ending.

Don't you Understand?
Don't you know?
How far I'll go?
I've got feelings, emiotions,
And no love potion
Can give you what you gave me?
Don't you know? Don't you understand?
Will you see?
Open you're eyes,
Don't be blind
I'm in a bind
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah,
Don't you know,
How far I'll go?
You gave me, gave me somethin'
I love you!
Don't you know? Don't you understand?
Woah-oh-oh-oh,
You've got my heart rom the very start-
Can't you see?
You can sing this if you like.

A Silly Poem About Baseball Players
There was a man who had sat,
Sat at the bat
He wouldn't get up to his feet,
All he wanted was a treat,
The pitcher
Was quicker,
Not a nose-picker,
The umpire,
Was a liar,
Yes, his pants were on fire,
"Help, yes you at the bat,
Get some liquid, a vat!"
Then there was the pitcher,
He said he was quicker,
And without a snicker,
He grabbed a vat of water,
He poured it on the umpire,
Yes, the liar,
His pants were no longer on fire!
"Get up, yes you, the batter!"
"Oh, it doesn't matter!"
He performed the feat
Of bringing the treat,
The man got up,
All nice and neat
And the man swung the bat,
Yes, Him, the man who had sat!
I think it's very silly. After all, you can't be serious ALL the time, can you?
