O.J. got away with killing two white people, no problem. That was more because the police fucked up their investigation than anything, but it's still unbelievable.

Keep in mind that many professional football players have committed crimes, convicted or otherwise. What Vick did to dogs was terrible, but other players have committed murders of people and remain on the field. This was stated on ESPN2

Haha no not anything like that. But I guess most of what I write starts out as songs I make up while I'm doing something mundane and I'm surprised because people have somehow picked that up just by reading

Ha, it's funny you say that because I made it up as a song and wrote it down as a poem while I was doing some stuff for my parents. Thanks

In addressing Jennifer H. ; I wrote this with the dual-role we play in our personal stories starring as central theme. Protagonist + Antagonist ... play on words. As for the grammatical thingies .. "Correct", "Correct". I'm not in the habit of intentionally spelling words wrong unless I make them up, hence Prantagonist. Perhaps I was drunk, high or literally suffering a serious and dehabilitating concussion. All three of these are genuine concerns because I am usually shitfaced.

Because I sing songs while mowing the lawn and they usually have nothing to do with my life

IMAGINE WHO THE READER IS
- Disagree, I dont really care who reads it
ARREST THE READER
- Haha yeah
KEEP THE READER'S ATTENTION
- Agreed
BE SPECIFIC - DON'T GENERALIZE
- Depends on the situation
DON'T WRITE ABOUT FEELINGS
- Yes in a way, but mostly no. I'd say write in a way that exudes emotion, but does not actually make a direct attempt to describe the emotion itself
NO SENTIMENTALITY OR GUSHINESS
- Couldnt agree more ... well, at least not for the sake of being gushy
DON'T ALLUDE TO OTHER LITERARY WORKS
- True
USE SAME TENSE THROUGHOUT
- True but I doubt I actually keep this rule sacred
KEEP SAME VOICE THROUGHOUT
- Sure
DROP ARTICLES IF POSSIBLE
- I dont know what this means
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ALLITERATION
- I love alliteration. I think writing skillfully with rhyming and alliteration takes the most talent
PERSONALIZE, IF POSSIBLE
- Yes
DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH WORDS
- Thats the idea!!!
PAINT A PICTURE WITH WORDS
- Sure, but try not to be lame about it
A POEM IS NOT JUST AN ANECDOTE IN LINES
- sure
DON'T USE WORDS ENDING WITH 'ING
- Hmm .... idk if I do that or not. prolly do
DON'T USE WORDS ENDING WITH 'LY
Same as above
SPELL CORRECTLY
Of course

I figured that was Dave Chappelle on bottom. Also speaking of Adam and Eve, one of their children had to do it with his mom or sister, which turns me off to religion because I think incest is kinda nasty

woah I actually didn't know what constabulary meant at first, but now it kinda makes since. The world may seem bad but if you think about it, back in the medieval ages anything went pretty much. People were way more horrible then. So, if you're talking about mass consumption of natural resources, then yes. But otherwise, probably not much different

Yes, and people are notorious for pronouncing Iraq wrong too. Even the newscasters suck at it.
