Some Old Blind Guy in a Library

So I was at the library the other day, where I work BTW, and I met some old blind guy while re-stocking the shelf's. He appeared to be reading a book, but it wasn't in braille. So I thought he was crazy.
Well, as I was about to leave, he began talking to me. He asked me if I liked Lewis Carroll, and when I said yes, he handed me the book he was reading. The title was "The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll"  by Lewis Carroll, adapted  by "J.D.". I asked him if it belonged to the library, and he said it was his own. And then told me I could have it, as he had no use for it being blind. When I asked him how he could read it, he said that he has read it so many times he had it memorized page for page. When I asked if he wasn't always blind, he replied "Yeah, something like that.". He then got up and left the library.

On break, I sat down and began to flip through the book. It really was all of Lewis carroll's works. "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland", "Through The Looking Glass", and "The Hunting Of The Snark". There was even a section for Illustrations. However, they weren't the normal John Tenial ones. They were original, and strange. Drawn in a gothic cartoony style, simmilar to the art in the manga "Bizenghast". Dark and creepy. I might take a few pictures and upload them.

Well, thats all for now I guess.

"And The Mome Raths, Outgraaaaa~aabe~!"

About the random poem lines on my previous post

Those were a parody of Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" from his book "Through The Looking Glass".

Just for reference, here's the original one:

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.



"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
  Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
  And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
  The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
  And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
  He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
  Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
  He chortled in his joy.



`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware The Chatterbox I guess

Twas grulling, and the swanty toves
Did gaia and gimble in the meme:
All bishi were the borogoves,
And the gcd raths outgrabe

Hello people.

My name is Charlie Nite. Well, I go by my middle name, Albus.

So Hi, I'm Charlie Albus.

So this blog. Its for an assignment in English class. We have to make a blog. It doesn't matter what about, so mines just gonna be random stuff about my life.

I had to create a gmail just for this assignment, hah.

Well, yeah, about the title. I really like Lewis Carroll's work, and am a big fan off all things "Alice In Wonderland" related. I watch "Once Wonderland" every week, (or would, if it wasn't still on hiatus.) and yeah. 

You get the point.

So I'll be updateing this frequently, maybe.

Beware the Chatterbox, my son!
