I'm either a stalker or a psychic. I just can't tell the difference anymore!
We got the most awesome assignment today. Split into two groups and rewrite an act of Macbeth. Tomorrow we'll act out our versions of the play in more modern in English. We decided to write in ghettospeak, only it's not just that, it's so much cooler because, well... the rest is secret so that we'll surprise the other group tomorrow. Anyway, I had to write Act II Scene IV. It just came out so much funnier than I had anticipated, so for your reading pleasure...
Act Two: Scene Four
Old Man: In all of mah past seventy years I ain’t never seen anythin’ so strange before dis whack night yo.
Ross: It’s like the heavens are messed up cuz of man’s deeds foo.
