Grand Theft Poetry

Trying to find peace and mind
The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek
Of total silence to show myself
Trying to hear what those three girls are plotting
But like a nightmare I wake to
The world beside may murmur
By drinking a glass of milk a certain way
In all that is natural and holy
Having forgotten the law of gravity
The same night whitening the same trees
On this green bank, by the soft sand
The nightmare song
Im as a cold as a toad
The crips, the bloods, the kings
But you got to try hard
Caught up inside his fist
Took one step forward
Your poem will fly away
And that has made all the difference.

Second Draft (Bad Poetry)

Upon the tee i firmly stand,
My trusty driver in my hand,
And just before i take my stance
And start to swing, I cast a glance
Ahead of me ah, all is nice,
For I invariably slice
And to the fairway's right all's clear.
I do not have a thing to fear.
This is, for me, the snap of snaps;
To left, alone, rough and traps.
And so, without a further look,
I take my stance, and swing and hook.

Very Bad Poetry

Allllrighttt!!! hang in there
dont let me down when i tell folks
your the best.... bad weather player in the west.....
better than me & all the rest!!!

Four Alarm Fire

Just as I'm about to go home, the alarm sound goes off. From then I knew that it was going to be a long night. My fire crew and I rushed to the burning building driving down the empty streets at midnight with our red siren's lighting up the dark streets.

The fire was terrifying! Everybody running around scared as can be. We, got to work as quick as we could. We did our best to put the fire out! The building was just burnt as can be, inside and out. There was nothing else that we could of done to have saved the building.

There's been many times when I've wanted to quit being a firefighter. But, then after every fire, saving people and making the best of things. Makes me want to stay a firefighter.

Introduction

I was born May 12, 1970 in Sarnia, Ontario. I was an only child from my parents. I loved playing all kinds of sports but i never knew which one that i should just stick with for the rest of my life. I started playing lots of golf and i really liked the sport. So I stayed with the sport through Middle School, High School and through College. I graduated from BYU (Brigham Young University) in 1992. I was an All-American for golf. After College I turned Pro and I first started in the Canadian Professional Golf Tour till I could get things going for me. I didnt make it to the PGA tour till 1997. From there things started to go really well. I didnt win my first PGA tournament till 1999. Since 1999 I've won 14 Tournaments and 1 was a Major (The Masters). I'm now married with a couple of kids and live in Draper, Utah as of right now.
