I say [DECOR] y'all buy blue, gold/yellow, white (optional) streamers - you can do a lot with this: write words, frame, make shapes.
[THEME] Do a pirate theme; draw some pirates ships, pirates; buy a lot of oranges because pirates need vitamin C so they don't get scurvy. get some pirate hats for everyone to wear it at all possible, else eye patches.
[THEME] "I'm on a boat!" Listen to the song if you don't know what I mean. Ppl can come as Pirates (just combine the themes why don't we), preppy ppl in blazers, polos, sun glasses, T-pain.
[DINNER] Could do pastas of various types - ziti bake, shrimp scampi, etc., meatballs and sausage (any Muslim brothers????) or chicken parm \, pesto/garlic bread and bruschetta - that would be foolproof. Salad mix. Green bean casserole. Potatoes and steak. ...how about just get a turkey? hahaha
[DESSERT]: big cake white&chocolate from Big Y, cookies, fruit pizza, brownies, make a pirate ship shape cake.
[DRINKS]: Rum because Pirates drink rum. Hawaiian punch. Refrescos.
Dear Pledge Class,
I hope my ideas will give you a good start to the party planning and success. It will be a lot of FUN.
I am no longer pledging. I looked forward to this event the most and had thought about it and wanted to leave you with some ideas.
I hope you will shoot off even more ideas and make it even BETTER.
Though I haven't talked to everyone I can see you all are so UNIQUE and full of potential.
Anyways, don't forget some speakers!!! (for the party) And the coke (for the rum & coke).
Sincerely,
Sandy =)

"I would rather be ashes than dust!...I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom in me magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist." - Jack London
"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there: I did not die" - Mary Elizabeth Frye
"Truth lives in the midst of deception" - Friedrich Von Schiller
"To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice." - Confucius
"At times our own light does out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us" - Albert Schweitzer
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - Rocky (2006)
"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a touch, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt."
Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?

A Suburb Among a Forest of Trees
A Suburb Among a Forest of Trees
It was many and many
months past,
In a suburb among a forest of trees,
Where the volume and treble switched to full blast,
By that boy next door with tease,
Of a rich family they chose modest land,
Why next door, why here, geez!
I was a student and he was a student,
In this suburb among a forest of trees,
I hated, he hated and we hated each other,
We would never feel at ease,
Just when I start homework,
I have not a moment of peace,
The vibrations disturb my whole being,
In this suburb among a forest of trees,
Pumping beats from the BMW, Jetta or Maxima?,
No, rather from the minivan at lease,
Even at ungodly hours as I conclude my work,
He would pity me no piece of peace,
Exploding beats into the chilly night,
In this suburb among a forest of trees,
Truly he grins at my misery,
Having nothing better than to my life seize,
No! I can't accept that,
(As all should not allow, in this suburb among a forest of trees),
On the highest settings, approaching from a distance,
Pounding and sounding, I seek it cease.
Urgently to the deck overlooking the cars,
In my house mother scolds me for no ease,
In my mind this is how I'll seize for all a piece of peace,
I implore to turn it down, and incredible,
I back inside, the rumbles dissipated; ah, the power of please,
Sweet silence stay, stay in the nights with me,
To me much help on nights I catch no Z's,
For so long torture I underwent, I had so much of him to vent,
Although the music has ceased, it is not yet I have peace,
In my head the intense beat resounds, so with this if it insists, if it pounds?,
Will he ever end disturbing of the peace?,
I implore no more, I conform til everyone hears the storm,
The trembling beats, shaking me and waking me,
In the silence there among the trees,
In the stillness among the changing trees.

How do you feel about kids?
Kids are cute.
Kids endlessly cry.
I look at kids and I think about how they carry billions of zillions of bacteria all over them.
