Black Ops

I didn't even think that I was going to get the new Call of Duty, but when I saw it in the store I had to have it. All my friends had been talking about how awesome it was and it had only been out for a few days. I figured Game stop would be sold out, but to my surprise they had hundreds of copies. They actually had a whole wall designated to just Call of Duty. I asked the store clerk if I could acquire my own copy of the game, and he went back and grabbed one of the shelves. Something he had probably done a hundred times that day and it wasn't even closing time. I handed him the 60 dollars, wondering if it was the right decision to spend money on it.My family continued their shopping in lincoln. We got all the necessary and unnecessary things we were looking for.

When we pulled in the driveway I got out and helped my parents unpack all the groceries and goodies we had gotten that day. I then grabbed the game, ran downstairs, popped the shiny new Blu-ray in the PS3, and assumed my position on the couch where I would remain for the next few hours. Me and my brother have been enthralled with the game ever since. It definitely has many awards in store for it.

My deep map outline

My Outline

The out line of my deep map is the Ford mustang symbol. The mustang is my favorite car, and has been that way since I was ten years old. The ford Mustang has so much heritage. As with every other muscle car that is still around today. It symbolizes a changing person.

In the head of my mustang which represents Who I am, I have several things. I have My two favorite sports which are the only two I play. Football, Which is a huge part of your life in highschool. It is pretty much a year round sport. but after this season I will have a little more freedom. And golf is just for fun. It is a fun sport with very little physical activity. I put my car there too which is  a big part of my life. I am always in it. The A+ represents the grades that i strive for. And the Honda wing represents the bikes that I ride.

Next I have where I am. Which, unfortunately, is at school. This school has way too many rules and regulations to follow. so I described it as a prison. The road represents where I am when I am not at school. My dad says I spend too much time on the road but I don't think of it like that. I see it as fun that i am having with my Friends. Because I don’t usually drive alone. That just isn’t fun. I have the football field where countless hours have been spend throughout the years. So many that i do not want to even think about it. And last I have the golf course. It is a serene, quiet place. That is when me and my friends arent on it. People golfing have to hate us. We actually try to have fun while golfing. but all these places make me who I am.

My portion of “what is my purpose” is left very vague. I do not yet know my purpose, but that little that I do know I put on the page. I have a diploma which represents high school and college graduation. And then I have a money symbol, which represents my future money making.

   

My rendition

Inspiration to Write

After indulging in one of the many poisons Robert and Jimmy enjoyed, they sat and took in the nature of the Bron-Y-Aur estate. It was fall and it was beautiful. That is why the band chose this place for their inspiration. With the leaves falling and the wind bristling between the branches, Jimmy began to write. He used the peacefulness to his advantage and let his hand do the work. He looked into the meadow, which brought him so much inspiration. Just the thought of their history brought chills to his spine and lyrics to his parchment.

    With notes and chords going through his mind, he wrote. He wrote for hours while taking in the surroundings. The band had been here for weeks. It was a much needed break from their touring life. Their nation wide tours were legendary. A new sold out venue was waiting for them every day of the week. It was hard for the band to write with this kind of schedule. They had no free time, with the after concert parties and traveling, they needed a break. With all the distractions out of his head Jimmy was able to write uninterrupted. While his pencil was whirring he knew it was going to be an epic song. He imagined playing it in front of thousands, something that did not happen often. At this moment he knew it was going to be a great piece. He used Robert’s symbolic vocals to his advantage and wrote this one for himself and Robert.
    By now the time had disappeared. It was nightfall in the quiet country-side and the song was nearing completion. Jimmy had grown tired by now, due to the intense writing he just partook in. He leaned back on his chair, took in the rich air from the British countryside, and wondered where the time went. His writing trance made the days time disappear. So many times this happens. Especially writing in a place so rich with inspiration. From the first step you take you are engulfed in ancient farm ground. The estate with its cobble stone driveway and its river rock walls was the most beautiful place the band had ever stayed. Far greater than the tour buses and hotel rooms of their past. After thinking about all this Jimmy grabbed his materials and headed across the meadow to the estate. All the while soaking in as much of the country side as he could. He knew that this amazing place would not be in his grasp much longer. Once inside, he joined his fellow band members around the fire lit room. While they dabbled in meaningless conversation, Jimmy let his body fall into the chair. With the crackling from the fire soothing his tiredness, he slipped into a deep sleep. The rest of the band waiting only minutes before joining their guitarist in his activity. Bron-y-aur estate was once again sleeping.

Ramble On....

In the beginning he bids his friends and family farewell. He tells them of how grateful he was for all the good times, but now he must be on his way. This to me resembles the town of Aurora. my whole life so far has been spent in Aurora, and once I graduate, I will be leaving for college and possibly a career. This will be my “rambling on” I will tell my family and friends good bye and then leave indefinitely. One of my favorite lines in the beginning is “got no time for spreadin’ roots, the time has come to be gone” This really represents me because I HATE being stuck somewhere, especially in a small town like this where there is absolutely nothing to doLed Zeppelin, One of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, made some of the best rock and roll songs of all time.. They made rock what it is today, and they are my favorite band of all time. They were known for insane concerts and lyrics with meaning. That is why the song I chose to represent me is “Ramble On” by the one and only Led Zeppelin. It tells a tale of a man trying to find his way in a long ago land. He “rambles” from place to place. Residing at one place for a while and then moving on to another place until he wore out his stay there.. Unlike other people I will be ecstatic to graduate and go to something bigger and better. And that is what this song is about... moving on.

The next verse is about the adventures the main character goes on. He explains the events prior as “a tale that can’t be told” which to me represents some pretty crazy things that he must have gone through to get to where he is now. He then goes on to talk about how he met a girl in Mordor, but Gollum took her away from him. If you have ever read or seen a J.R.R. Tolkien book or movie, you would know exactly what Robert Plant was talking about while writing this song. And you would know that one would never find a girl in the fiery depths of Mordor, possibly a few orcs but that would be all. So, he is obviously talking about something bigger and more meaningful. What he is probably talking about is the ring of power found in the “Lord Of The Rings” books. The Ring of Power to me would be getting my diploma and finding a great career. “Gollum” would most likely be me, getting side tracked, and flunking out, which hopefully does not happen! After all, Led zeppelin would probably not be a good place to get inspiration from. Their track record is not the best.

Little did I know that one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs represented me so well. Hopefully I do not follow the main character in the song, but in the game of life you never know what’s in store.
