Beautiful Darkness Beautiful Darkness, it’s all of me.

From head to toe it’s all you see.

You may see a smile. You may feel a kiss.

But in the end does it mean I’m worth it?

All my life you’ve told me that I’m not.

Well I’m here to tell you fools I’m hot. With these rhymes you know I’m on top. You should know. You held me down, I came up.

You sit around wishing for luck.

But fool you should know, I can do good all on my own.

Sadness and sorrow I used to be.

But now you’re gone I finally see.

That I am beautiful, even though there’s darkness in me.

Music Review: Yesterday by Atmosphere I like this song because the words he raps are all real and I connect to what he’s saying. When my step dad passed away this was the song I was listening to 24/7 because it’s exactly how I felt. He’s talking to his dad who passed away and he talks about struggles and feelings in life and I really like the message this song gives off. I love all of his music especially this album: When life gives you lemons. Yesterday is my favorite song in the album because of how well I can relate and connect to his words. I’ve been to two Atmosphere concerts by SLUG and they were the best concerts of my life <3 By NC

What’s Hot- What’s Not Today in women’s fashion they're bringing the 80's back. Short flared skirts are in and long ones are out For women heels are a BIG DEAL :} Wearing heels make your legs look longer and your butt look bigger:0 And Pink is so in Beards are so last year Also tattoos and piercings are so in And jerseys and snap backs are perfect for your swag But ladies keep it classy And men keep it fancy by AM.


 * Is a really fun game. It is a game when Mario switches back and forth between 2D and 3D and have to fight against Count Bleck the Dark Lord.**

Wii Sports Resort Wii Sports Resort is a really fun and time consuming Game! It has over ten games and they all have tons of levels. I spend at least an hour playing this game, and with peers it’s a blast. Bowling is one of my favorite games. I really recommend that everybody should play this. I rate it as five stars. By CJ

//__ Grand Theft Auto 5 __// I think this game is really cool. With every person in the game you have special powers. I like the cars in this one a lot more than the other games. You can create your own story and do it in any order you want. The detail s are really good and the missions you can do in this one are better and more exciting.

My Favorite movie is 21. It’s about a kid that learns to play black jack and turns out to rob Vegas’ casinos. The kid says that he wants to earn just enough money to go to Yale, but after a couple months of doing it he earns so much money and doesn’t wanna quit. Then he makes a mistake and loses it all. So it motivates him to earn all $$$$$400 k back in one weekend. The kid gets the girl of his dreams, he gets to be rich and it all plays out good in the end. J

Goodbye Artec!


 * I will be leaving Artec ,about two weeks from today. I can’t wait to leave. I have learned so much between her e and Decker Lake. I have learned a lot of life skills, patience, critical thinking and really just what I want to do with my life. I have bettered my communication with my family and set a bunch of goals for myself. I am really close to graduating high school which I am soooo hyped about! When I leave, I will continue working at my job at La Caille where I have worked for two years now with my mom and sister. I am moving to Maui, Hawaii the first week of September to work with some of my friends and surf on our days off. It will be so rad, I'm way stoked. When I get back from Hawaii, I already have my college plans in line. Fortunately all my college is paid for which I am so grateful for. I honestly am kind of burnt on going to college but I would be stupid not to go. I am going to go to school to study neurology. Over the past eight months of my life, I have experienced so much. I am a changed person and can’t wait to get back out in the world to show everyone, and most importantly myself, what I can do. **
 * If I could give any advice to anyone reading this, I would just say that everything gets better. Sometimes things seem so hard and unmanageable to the point where you just want to check out. Just keep pushing. Life rolls on. You are an amazing human being playing in this game of life. You can do anything you want. Your life is yours, you can do want you want with it. Weather you believe you can or you can’t, you’re right. Love is all you need. Believe in yourself. **

Chinese Secret By: AS. There’s this Chinese secret going around that most American citizens don’t know. The classic, but famous Chinese take-out box is actually a box and a plate. They’re known for being very helpful to take food home if you’re in a rush or using chopsticks to eat out of the box. Most people don’t realize that those nicely folded extra pieces of box on the sides are there for a reason. Here’s what you do to make a old time favorite Chinese take-out box into a plate.

Step 1: **Get a take-out box** Step 2: **Open the top part** Step 3: **Peel the two folded pieces on both sides** Step 4: **Spread the box apart** Step 5: **Push the folds down** Step 6: **Eat out of the Chinese take-out box plate

Video games that are cool!!!!

Resident Evil 4 is the coolest video game for the PS2 besides, Black; God Of War. What you do is you kill zombies and bosses. The main characters are Leon and Ashley and you have to face Big Cheese and it’s awesome. You are able to unlock certain costumes for the characters.

Oh and I’m not ever going to smoke met ever again J thanks Linda for being such a great therapist and being one of the only people in my life that doesn’t judge me for crying. It means a lot. And Vince my house counselor thanks bra for helping me get through the program J I’m so excited to leave so I can finally watch a sunset then a sunrise. By: KB.
