WHY
I cannot understand how someone can be naive enough to park in the middle spot in the parking lot. It completely blocks off the exit and causes a major traffic backflow. It is obviously not a parking stall. The lines are only there because they haven't been removed. With a shortage of parking as it is, students try to scan the lot for a spot to park. We try to drive around the lot, but an exit is blocked off by the fool that parks in the middle spot. It causes a huge inconvenience when school ends and parents come to pick up their children. They end up having to reverse through the parking lot with students walking every which way. It is a real hazard and endangers the lives of many people. The individual that is inconsiderate enough to park their should be fined and made to pay the price.

My Top 3 Cars
Cars can be ranked by a number wide criteria. I am going to rank my top 3 cars based on firstly exterior styling, horsepower and acceleration.
The Bugatti Veyron is an obvious first. It's exterior is sophisticated, while still maintaining a sporty appearance. The air vents and two tone paint are strategically placed to follow the lines of the car and the engine housing shows off it's monstrous W16 engine. With it's W16 engine, which essentially is two V8s fused together, and 4 superchargers it is the world's fastest accelerating car and is capable of highest top speed for any street legal car. It can reach a speed of 407.47km/h and has over 1000 horsepower.
The car that made the second spot in my top 3 is the Lamborghini Reventon. This car's exterior styling is quite drastic with sharp harsh lines that seem to flow together somehow. It has large aggressive air vents and a very low profile. It has a maximum speed of 340km/h which is put out by a 6.5L V12 and 650 horsepower. With only 20 Reventons being produced it is an extremely rare and expensive car.
The 3rd car on my list is a Porsche Carrera GT. The exterior of this Porsche is very sleek, it follows authentic Porsche lines and is very distinct. It is powered by a 5.7L V10 producing 612 horsepower and has a maximum speed of 329km/h.

POETIC NOVELS
http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/family/poetry.asp?poem=18379
This poem relates to the novel Candy because it deals with the main theme of addiction. In the novel the main characters are both addicted to different substances. Candy is addicted to heroin and Joe is addicted to Candy. He has to watch her deal with her heroin addiction and faces many hardships. "Because An Addict I'm Not, But I Must Watch [Her] Be", exemplifies what Joe deals with as he watches Candy become engulfed by heroin. Joe denies his addiction to Candy even though he does not directly state "An Addict I'm Not". He denies his addiction by trying to keep it secret form his family and friends. He leaves his band when Mike gets in a fight and says he is helping his sister, but in reality he is more concerned with what has happened to Candy and where she has gone.
