Upcoming Posts

Hiya Dolls,
I apologize for not being that active lately, I've been crazy busy, however, now I will be uploading some more content. I just finished reading 2 books, Insurgent, which is the 2nd book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. I will be posting book reviews on both of those. Also I will upload my film reviews that I wrote previously for FilmGamesEtc.com, as for some reason they are no longer on the site.  I will add some personal blogs and thoughts about upcoming Call Of Duty Tournaments, What's been going on in my life, and events that I have/will attend. Thanks for all of your support, oh and I have a youtube gaming channel Youtube Channel . ^-^ Live, Love Life and Have Fun!

Addiction

My hair is darker, skin's paler, heart's heavier without you,
This looming soul drifts farther from the light,
Concealed, diminishing, strength, taste and sight,

A never ending trance, circular bound,
Polarity's dance, resounding sound,
Rolling, thumping, sweats a dew,
Seeking whispers..."I Love You"

Teasing, Tempting, Racing shreds,
Pumping, thrusting... colored Red,

Magnified Ambitions, Intensified thoughts,
Crumbling temples left to rot,
Stone by brick, reshuffled and scaled,
Crashing nights, exploding trails,

The cup of your essence refuses gravity's grip,
My tongue's desire, craving a sip,
Chills, Cold Sweats and fumbling chains,
HATE IT! WANT IT! Needled Pinch in my veins,

Relieving simplicity, Harmony's bliss,
Anxiety erupts, Addictions Kiss, 
But its more than a kiss, its a full blown affair,
I bite my lips and tug at my hair,

The feelings surge, hormones awake,
You take what you want again from my plate,

I know I can't trust you, the cycle repeats,
I try to resist but the hits are too sweet,
Highs are so high, Stars tremble in Awe,
Till the fuel decimates and I crash to the ground,

Searching for a Unicorn who donates his flakes,
The delusions are too real, but I refuse to break...

Weekend With Friends pt 1 Swamp Safari Excursion

Good Morning Friends,

I apologize for not updating this information more quickly, however, I have been a little busy and straight out procrastinating lately. Anyways, I had an amazing weekend with my two best friends Kelly and Tiffany. This past weekend 3/13/14 did something that we will remember for ever, We CAMPED IN THE EVERGLADES!

That's right, filled with angst, excitement and curiosity, we planned a surprise trip to Billie Swamp and Safari. The suprise was in getting our friend Tiffany to go. Basically we never told her where we were going. It was hilarious because Kelly and her boyfriend Dan and I, had to sneak and pack Tiffany's clothes and things into the car without her seeing. Once we arrived we pulled up to a camp of chickees (traditional Seminole Indian lodgings) and unpacks. It was hilarious seeing her face as she pieced together our overnight excursion. The accomodations were everything you'd expect, rustic, airy and free from electricity. Our Chickee had a deck over the swamp, and as we roasted marshmallows that night, became surrounded by gators gravitating towards the heat. I have to admit, I WAS FREAKING OUT!!!! Every coulple of minutes I made sure to shinne my flashlight around our lodging area to ensure that there were no gators creeping up on us.

Earlier that day, we met a family of 3 who told us about the 20ft (a length that seemed to get larger at each telling of the story ^-^) gator who met them in the middle of the nature trail! Of course when we asked the exact coordinates, they explained that it was near chickees 9,10 and 11.... we were in chickees 9 and 10 lol. The family explained how they were yelling for help for about 5 minutes, with the gator blocking their exit path and snapping its jaws shut. I would have been terrified... needless to say the nature trail was off for us lol. The other family enjoyed the rest of the Storytelling campfire with us and we all headed towards the nighttime swamp buggy ride. This ride was amazing, we were able to view plenty of animals within their natural habitats on the Seminole Tribes 2200 acre safari property. I was able to view, water buffalo, ostrich, coyotes, silver foxes, deer, panthers and more.

The time after the safari was filled with roasting marshmallows over an open fire and recounting the day with each other. Once we finally fell asleep in our Chickee, I was awaken throughout the night by the echoes of the wildlife outside of my hut... that and the constant turning of Tiffany due to her fears of being eaten alive lol. All in all it was an amazing night. My next post will detail out Saturday experiences ^-^

Concealed in Death (Book review)

    Intrigued by mystery? Addicted to trying to solve a case before the ending is revealed to you? actively invested in crime drama's? If this is you, I highly recommend reading "Concealed In Death" by J.D. Robb.
    I recently completed this book and found it absolutely entertaining. Growing up I've always harbored an  affinity for solving things, whether it was puzzles, riddles or the villain on Scooby Doo. With that in mind, I tend to gravitate towards any mystery/thriller piece of work.
    This installation stemming from the "In Death" series, follows Lieutenant Eve Dallas as she's faced with an unthinkable situation. Roarke, her billionaire beau is an accomplished professional who uses his business savvy by brokering a sweet deal for an abandoned building. With renovations at the fore front, Roarke oversees as his employees begun the demolition and reconstruction process.... when BOOM! The walls reveal a secret! A Body! But wait, there's another one.... and another... final count... 12! What sick creep would "conceal" 12 bodies in an abandoned building? That's what Eve and Roarke intend to find out.
    This novel touches on all of your typical core emotions, ranging from shock, and panic to passionate exchanges. I admit, I engaged in this world during my workday by downloading the audio book and listening to the story. No matter if you take the traditional method and read the book or utilize the audio book approach, you will not be disappointed. Some of the terminology that appears throughout the text can seem pretty cheesy for my taste, mainly due to the setting taking place in the future, however, the depth of the book is enticing and will grab the reader from page 1!

Short Story Problems

So I started writing a short story using the basis of Hansel and Gretel and placing a spin on it. But I think I'm going to stop and start a new short story, the reason being is that I struggle with the "Voice" of the story. For this reason I think I should write something easier to me first. So I am taking what I heard on Eat, Sleep, Write and I am going to write at least 1700 words a day on something I;m passionate about... Villains! Oddly enough, growing up I strayed away from the typical heroes of things and either gravitated towards the sidekicks... or more interestingly the villains. An example of this is I love Scar in the Lion King... of course I still cried when he caused Mufasa's death, but his character was intriguing to me. I dislike bugs bunny and mickey mouse... and I loveeee Daffy Duck and Donald. Most notable I like Freddy Kreuger and The Joker from Batman. So now I will write a short story about a villain and see where I end up, I dont want to plan it out... I WANT TO WRITE! Once I'm inside the head of my character the story will write itself :)

Wish Me Luck ^-^

Food and Wine Festival

Hey guys. This weekend I attended the annual Food and Wine festival in my town Orlando, FL. This is my 4th straight year going and each experience is a blast. I try and culture myself into trying different foods, activities, writing styles etc. This festival takes place in Downtown Area alongside Lake Eola, which is the city's park/fountain lake area. Basically different restaurants around the city setup booths and menu and serve dishes from their venues. As an attendee, you purchase admission and then food and beverage tickets that's serve as the currency of the event. Each tent has a set number of tickets for their dishes and you order, give your ticket and enjoy. When it comes to the wine, you can sample the wines before committing tickets for full glasses. If you've never drank wine before this event can help advance your pallet.
 
This year I tried a few new items. My favorite was the Pineapple Creme Brulee... it was awesomeness in my mouth. So good in fact that I went back to the tent for seconds. I also tasted bruschetta which is toasted bread with a tomato medley spread which was very good. I had bacon wrapped chicken that was amazing and volcano California roll sushi. Mostly everything else I ate was things ive tried before like kobe's noodle and shrimp bowl and tibby's bread pudding with rum sauce. i did sample a few different wines as well. Cupcake Red Velvet wine and my favorite so far Little Black Dress Pink Pinot grigio.
 
Other then eat, my friends and I started dancing in the street to the DJ. We also help start a group dance line for the wobble, cha cha side and our throwback Kid n Play dances. I really had a blast this year and of course am looking forward to next year's event as well. Food, Wine and the Best Friends... regardless of anything else, yesterday was amazing.
 
Did I mention the weather was beautiful? Even though it rained off and on it was about 76 degrees and breezy the entire day. I love Florida ^-^

Upcoming Weekend Plans

I will probably blog about the experience this weekend as well ^-^ well that is all for now I hope your weekend will be as fun and productive as mines!

Fiction

Your words paint illusions of a forbidden valley too sacred to view,
The slick shades of autumn's leaves drifts past our eyes; craving to sip its dew,

A trist of peace and love as long as we conform,
To preserve the existence of ancestors unborn,

Clever FOX seeks minimal action,
Keeping the forest tamed with tales of fiction!

Well fed in his hole,
Whilst the rest of us starve,
Suggestions of danger,
For animals who dare leave the park,

Cunning little FOX, with words so thick,
Tear apart our morals, Keeping us sick,

We can drink from the river,
You'd often say,
Thirstier then ever
You take it away,

Here feed on this nectar,
You try to console,
Storms brewing this way
Rations tucked in your hole

Mischievous FOX we continue to listen to thee,
As our bodies rot and our knees bleed,
Our intellect's standardized lacking conviction,
We're trapped in your world, enticed by your FICTION!

Release

Knotted inside my Brain,
Can't scream or shout,
Broken, tenacious bars,
Reluctant to thaw out,

Schitzo-Paranoia-Phobia
Thoughts transcribed through dreams,
Wishing, Wanting, Waiting
Nothing's quite as it seems,

Illusive distinctions
Have trapped me here,
Silent incantations
Increasing my fear,

Redundant reprise
pushes further away,
Rhetorical queries
Sours in every way,

Insight is not lost
Confined imagination,
Cautioned fears that I dread,
Are my own creations,

Partake from the Chalace
Promise to forget,
Drowned sorrows combined,
Having no regrets,

Supple remorse
Trickles from my tongue,
Delicious Deceit
Consumes my time,

Dark budded Rose Tint,
Feeds into my skin,
Piercing thorns surround
Ultimate decadence,

Silk stroking the rim
Ringing round and round
Lifting ever so gently
Lifeless underground,

Dehydrated walls
Crystallized glare,
Vacant inner mind
Surface undoubtedly fair,

Revitalize the source
Anxiety's deceased,
One day at a time,
Praying for Release...

Shallow

I've recently come across some interesting blogs relating to Faith and Opinions which I will link below. These 2 blogs have really opened my eyes to the thins that I want to strive to do. I really enjoy writing, have for as long as I can remember, but I must admit I have fallen off writing for maybe 10 years. I'm slowing trying to ease myself back into it, but its harder then it looks... For one I DISLIKE everything I have written currently. I Love the arrangement of words and cleverness of Phrases, but I'm not really feeling any emtion when I write. It's like i'm trying to FORCE my EMOTIONS out by placing a few interesting sentences together to produce IMAGERY. My writing right now is SHALLOW....

In 11th grade I met a teacher that truly changed my life, Mr. John Stoddard. He was my AP English Lit teacher and at the start of the semester almost everyone I knew was about to transfer out including myself. We've heard rumors about this teacher from our Senior classmates and at the beginning of his course he flat out tells you in a snarky tone that his class will be difficult and you will not like him. I was no stranger to hard work, but the way he spoke to me I felt as if he would be more of a hindrance than a helpful asset. Something happened, I can't quite remember what.... and I decided to stay in his class... BEST DECISION EVER. Every paper I wrote was an A or B.... but he pulled me aside and spoke these words..." LaQuita your writing is great, I enjoy reading it... but I can tell that you Fluff a lot of work. Grammatically and aesthetically your paper is correct and I cannot dock you for anything, but YOU ARE MORE THAN FLUFF!" At first I was taken aback, and I realized what he was saying.... MY WRITING WAS SHALLOW! From that point forward I researched, participated and wrote like nothing before. I was taking College courses simultaneously from 10th through 12th grade, and I can honestly say that his class changed the way I thought. Then I graduated... and fell back into my normal tendencies. Ten years later I'm here.... and now I will work the way I did before to not be Shallow. Each day I will write something, no matter how stupid, or boring or contrived. I will write and write and read and write until I get back to a satisfactory role. I WILL WRITE!

Currently I contribute to www.FilmGamesEtc.com and other than that I am writing on this blog. Hopefully I can get to a place of Peace and Write with Emotion again.

Live and Let Live
LaQuita

Head Case (Limerick)

Driving deeper with less feeling,
Spinning, Dizzy Hearts are reeling,
Single patience time has stopped
Creeky Buildings, airy knocks
Floating Higher past the Ceiling.

Nirvana

Gust cruising the plains,
Inhale Heaven, Exhale Bliss,
Pure collapse avails...

Naive

Why must you sit here and buzz in my ear I have to paint myself white to try and disappear you're ridiculous tendencies will buzz in my head expecting me to talk to you when this is it my bed nag nag nag will your mouth ever closed pushed closer to the edge yeah I'm forced to hold on to the rails that bring me peace I wish I could snap dormant anger released.  Slurp smack chew is this really my life? when you smile at me asking what causes my strife. but I can't say you so I'll sit in between because as far as I've observed you're still naive

Creation

Leisurely taking a day,
Accesses the way,
For daring dreams to become,
The path followed by one,
Revealing your Sun's inner ray.

Riddled Haiku

Bare, lofty canvas a float
Taunting, Teasing frenzied beast
Veiled despite delay...

What Am I? 

The Plunge (Limerick)

Endless Thoughts, Floating Pier,
Traversing the leagues as they appear,
Jagged Edge, Rocky blinded sight,
Dark shawdows above have taken flight,
Crashing down on squawking ears.

Introduction

Welcome to my Freestyle Writing Blog! 

Ever since I was a child I've been fascinated with the life of a sentence. How the words connect to tell a story and or express a deeper meaning. I started writing short stories about lands I would want to travel, such as magical valleys, waterfall canyons or just a place where I can ride unicorns all day. The more I delve into writing, the more attached I became to poetry and poets. Their writing represented a faster escape for me to express my feelings or dreams. I wrote and I wrote and I wrote... and by college I'd stopped! No idea why. I couldnt formulate a sentence that made me happy... Here I am years later and the passion has resurfaced due to a recent Movie Review that was posted on FilmGamesEtc.com of The Nut Job. And now... I write... and Write and Write. Let's see where it takes me. I can't promise to be brilliant, or cheecky... all I promise is to be me and to see where that leads. If you decide to take this journey with me, I am forever grateful. This blog is called Freestyle writing because everyday I will post something, whether its a poem, short story, riddle, quote, mantra.... whatever comes to surface at that time. Well let's start, and if you want to follow me on Twitter I will be sure to follow back :) @scoobygirl23
