Hamlet and more

Now might I do it pat, now he is praying;
And now I'll do't. And so he goes to heaven;
And so am I revenged. That would be scann'd:
A villain kills my father; and for that,
I, his sole son, do this same villain send
To heaven.
O, this is hire and salary, not revenge.
He took my father grossly, full of bread;
With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May;
And how his audit stands who knows save heaven?
But in our circumstance and course of thought,
'Tis heavy with him: and am I then revenged,
To take him in the purging of his soul,
When he is fit and season'd for his passage?
No!
Up, sword; and know thou a more horrid hent:
When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage,
Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed;
At gaming, swearing, or about some act
That has no relish of salvation in't;
Then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven,
And that his soul may be as damn'd and black
As hell, whereto it goes. My mother stays:
This physic but prolongs thy sickly days.
-Hamlet

No matter how overstated it may sound, I believe Shakespeare is truly a genius. Having manipulated the English language so dramatically, Shakespeare has set a standard so high that very few, or maybe even none, can surpass.
I have to memorize this for extra credit for English class tomorrow and it is really hard.

Lately, I really like the weather. Some may feel that it is gloomy and dark, but the rain actually makes everything feel very...fresh - don't know why. Maybe its just the smell of the asphalt and the dirt. Driving is definitely more fun, and sleeping is way more enjoyable. I absolutely love sleeping in the rain! Hmm, that makes for a great song title.

-BTW- please check out my music website. Infrequently, I post up some little "shorts" I make when I'm bored. Hopefully, in the near future, I can improve on some of the "beats" and "melodies". But for now, I guess I just want you guys to check it out - and let me know how it is, good or bad, sall good in da hood.
