Dreams (The First Part)

A deafening roar issued from the army as it surged forward as single unit. The red and white flood raced forward across the field away from the safety of their towering stronghold. I couldn’t hear my own battle cry, lost among the masses of the other voices, but I knew I was screaming myself hoarse. I was at the front of the charge, sitting atop a glowing white horse, brandishing a silver sword over my helmeted head. I glanced down at the hooves of my horse, at the green grass flecked with multicolored flowers as it all sped past at mind-numbing speed. I looked back up at the ugly horde before me. They had ragged banners scattered randomly through their ranks. I didn’t know what any of the myriad species were exactly called, but they were all of the hairy, fanged or just plain disgusting variety. With a roar just as loud and twice as haunting as ours, the motley assortment of red-and-black-clad beasts charged.

The Best Part of a Brand New Computer

Windows Vista, every teenager's prison dream. Always getting to be logged out at only nine pm, never having to worry about the internet criminals of the world, because the leash is set to where I can't even go to Myspace. But who really wants a Myspace when you can have an AIM profile instead. The new age version of computers only wants to be protective though, and make it so that you aren't sitting down all day communicating and socializing with friends. But this program doesn't run itself on random, no, no, no. The things holding me back from going certain places on the internet, and staying up all night on the computer is a little amazing thing you would call parental controls. I mean who doesn't want to be controlled by your mother 24-7? Not me that's for sure. The newer the computer you have, the tighter the parental controls you can have, and that means a whole lot more fun. And I am most definitely not kidding around, if you know what I mean.
Now, there are many features on this program that a computer from maybe last year does not have. If you are one of the people who has an outdated computer, you must get a brand new computer with the new programs and tell your parents to get on with the parental controls. Who wouldn’t want to miss out on so much fun? In order to get parental controls on your computer, you need to have two usernames on the ‘log in’ screen. Your parent’s username is obviously the administrator’s username, meaning the computer’s control freak. If it is your mother who is doing the controlling, then she’ll have to make an account on the computer along with a hidden password that you will never be able to find out because you aren’t even aloud to be in the same room as her when she is typing it in.
