The Bests:2010 ~ Best Film
True Grit is my pick for best film of 2010. It has the perfect balance of amazing storytelling, raw emotion, white knuckle excitement, and great humor. The casting is pitch perfect, everyone brings their best to the table. The score is beautiful and haunting, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the direction is tight. The Coen Brothers has done it again, making an another modern masterpiece!

Music Is My Muse by David Mayer
Music is my muse
My great inspiration
Queen of my emotions
Goddess of my thoughts
Her lyrics are insightful
Her notes are beautiful
She makes my happy
She makes me sad
From the most uplifting ballad
To the most mournful dirge,
She inspires me and she rules my mind

Thinking In Pictures by Wesley Mayer
I’m thinking in pictures
No words or phases
I’m thinking of lost chances and lost opportunities
A picture of a woman reminds me of lost loves
A photo of a mentor reminds me of way things could have been
They say a picture is worth a thousand words
To me a photo holds an infinite world of possibilities
Of the past, present, and future

The Faded Memories by Wesley Mayer
Faded memories from my childhood come back to haunt me
For unknown reasons
As I watch home movies, I feel like I’m watching someone else
Because I have changed so much over the years
Fights and accidents replay in my head
Bad memories of school plague me
As they fade, the memories become fragmented and scrambled
Making memories into unknown and untold lies
Age makes us wiser and our foolishness...

In a time of constant uneasiness and deep unhappiness, suicide is an attractive option. It would put a stop to all my problems at once, although it would bring a few problems to others.
One doesn’t want to rush the decision, and eventually has to consider reasons for and against the idea. A few…
