April Fools

 Ah yes, April Fools. The first day of April where everyone pulls pranks and shouts "April Fools" at the top of their lungs afterward. You may be wondering how this holiday came into effect, or you may already know. I myself began wondering how it was started after a friend asked me if I knew. 

Off the top of my head, I assumed that the holiday must have been started with something silly. Like how the "got your goat" phrase stemmed from racing horses therapy goats would get stolen which caused them to run erratically during the race, costing their owners money (don't quote me on this fact). It also feels like April Fools isn't a real holiday to me. It's like one of those random things that some people remember to do and some people don't. Unlike with Christmas. Everybody remembers Christmas, some people just don't choose to celebrate it. Anyways, I'm getting sort of off-track, onward with the facts!


Gottem

Yes you can bully my art skills


You thought this was a real blog post? It says it right in the title. While this post won't be going over the origins of April Fools, you can read this CNET article I found that lists various pranks.

Also, I know I kinda skipped making a post last month. Sorry. Anyways, if you have any questions or comments, leave them below, thank you!

Eggs' Bizarre Glasses Adventure

Three months. I've spent three months freaking out over getting a new pair of glasses. It's a multi-part story with action, conflict, and plot twists! True friends were made and enemies were revealed! I cried! Okay, I may be hyping this up more than how it actually was, but things actually felt this intense. Like, my sight was messed up for weeks. Imagine losing your sight when you've been seeing your whole life! I need my eyes to work -- to write this blog. I'm writing this wonky story with a humorous twist to make myself feel better about it. Anyways, without further ado, I will try to summarize this high-stakes action into four parts. Part 1 - Innocent Eye Check-up It all started with an eye appointment on January 22, 2022... I thought it was just going to be a harmless little check-up where I could trust the doctor's judgment. I'm not going to state where this eye exam was because I don't want to get canceled. Anyways, after a rather stressful examinatio

How to Write (Somewhat) Good Poetry

 In accordance with my last post  about why  you should write poetry, I present you with this post about the how  side of things. I don't mean to brag, but people say they like my poetry. So, I'm going to share some of the things I keep in mind while writing poems and maybe it might help you write decent ones as well. Choose a Topic iStock Choosing a topic and sticking to it is really useful when you're just starting to write a poem. A friend of mine shared with me On Beauty  by Kahlil Gibran. Pretty obvious, but he's talking about what beauty is. But it isn't that simple. Gibran uses a multitude of metaphors and other literary devices that I can't remember the names for. Overall, it is such a beautiful poem in my opinion. So what you can do is find a topic and then come up with some ways to add a little flourish to it as you talk about it in your poem. For another example, I write an unhealthy amount of poems related to love. Love would be the topic, but then I

First Post, Yay!

Unsplash.com Have you ever felt a sense of accomplishment in your life? Like you finally done something good for once? Used your skills for something good? Well, that's what I'm feeling right now. I finally started this blog today after briefly mentioning it to my friends a couple months ago. It used to be a fleeting dream, but now it's actually here! I hope to have monthly posts up, but maybe I could eventually kick that up to bi-monthly, and even weekly. Ambitious I know, heh. But I can't really contain my excitement. I just hope I don't burn out. Type of Content Dreamstime.com I'll normally post reviews on things I have done or seen in the past. But I am also hoping to post about my first impressions of things before I actually try them. So, this blog is like a giant mosh-pit of my thoughts and feelings on things, I guess. Maybe it might even evolve into something more. Who knows? What's Up with the Name? VectorStock.com You may be wondering why I decided
