Reflection on Act II of 12th night
I thought that act 2 was better than act 1. The plot thickens considerably, with new romances being born out of seemingly nowhere. I personally thing that the duke is an annoying ass, and should be smacked around a bit to put him in is place. I can't wait to see what happens with malvolio and olivia when she sees how he is dressed.

ADHD?
Apparently, allowing ADHD kids to bounce around and dance in their desks in class is better for tier learning because it helps them stay foucused. It would be like a caffeine of some kind for the kids. Personally I think we should not aloow tis to happen. It would be annoying and a distraction for the other kids. If we subdue the kids they will learn that it isn’t ok to be distracting to other kids.
Well, there it is.

American Pie XD
There are some metaphors in the song that im gonna put here
But February made me shiver,
Buddy Holly died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm.The news came to most of the world on the morning of February 3, which is why it's known as The Day The Music Died.

And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
It's unclear who the "rolling stone" is supposed to be. It could be Dylan, since "Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) was his first major hit; and since he was busy writing songs extolling the virtues of simple love, family and contentment while staying at home (he didn't tour from '66 to '74) and raking in the royalties. This was quite a change from the earlier, angrier Dylan.
The "rolling stone" could also be Elvis, although I don't think he'd started to pork out by the late sixties. It could refer to rock and rollers in general, and the changes that had taken place in the business in the 60's, especially the huge amounts of cash some of them were beginning to make, and the relative stagnation that entered the music at the same time.
Or, perhaps it's a reference to the stagnation in rock and roll.
Or, finally, it could refer to the Rolling Stones themselves; a lot of musicians were angry at the Stones for "selling out". Howard Landman points out that John Foxx of Ultravox was sufficiently miffed to write a song titled "Life At Rainbow's End (For All The Tax Exiles On Main Street)". The Stones at one point became citizens of some other country merely to save taxes.

Basically this dude loved buddy holly and worshiped him. which was actually pretty weird. At any rate the song is pretty good and is very deep.
