About Me

I am an odd person. I love books, break out into dance randomly, and gesture wildly when I speak with friends.

PIGEONS in my Life (March)

As my friend the Idiosyncrat and I were looking up a PIGEON of March we came across this rather amazing picture. You see here a ROCK PIGEON and a Red Squirrel battling over some seeds. Now in my personal opinion the BATTLER GOD PIGEON will win hands down but I do admit that I am biased. The Idiosyncrat favors the Blood Demon Squirrel of Death. Either way enjoy the picture.

PIGEON of March

Hey sorry it's a little late but here is the PIGEON of the month for March. The CARRIER PIGEON was used with great success in both world wars. As St. Patricks day was celebrated this month it seemed only fittting to have an Irish PIGEON of the month. And what better PIGEON to honor than Paddy the CARRIER PIGEON. Paddy is the only Irish PIGEON to be awarded the Dicken Medal for bravery. Paddy made a flight from Normandy to Carnlough, France to Ireland, in a record breaking 4 hours and 50 minutes. Go Paddy!

PIGEON of February

For February I choose the white dove for the PIGEON of the month. The white dove is, as the name suggest, all white. It is a symbol of love, peace and death. White doves are often released at weddings and funerals. They are also commonly used in magic shows.

Of No Concern to PIGEONS (Poetry Out Loud)

    Today I competed in my school's Poetry Out Loud competition. I made passed the preliminaries but did not place. Last year I competed and won but this year had better competitors. The two poems I recited were "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe and The Tyger by William Blake. I just realized that I know no poems about PIGEONS! I will have to correct this oversight quickly.
