Today has been long. Yo estoy very tired. I would love to share with you the trials of today, but I can only do so much BECAUSE I'M BLOGGING FROM MY PHONE.
"Why is she doibg this?" you might ask "The keyboard is so small, her fingers will surely cramp up!"
You're right, it is small, they are crampping up...but I have no alternative because my computer is sick and in the computer hospital and I don't know if it will recover. :(:(

"'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see"
It's a John Mayer kind of day :)
"So young and full of running, all the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming,
"I have to have you now"
Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours"

Processing the Process
Processed, wrapped and packaged,
Injected with cornstarch and drained of all things real,
My words taste better when they’re organic
Over thought, preplanned and stale meanings
My words are products of endorsement deals, steroid injections and pressures introduced by the media
Of course I can’t completely rely on my own garden
Some words rot, taste bad, and have weak roots
I try to make room for my garden to grow
But cooperate America has infiltrated
The soil smells of Lysol,
The sun is blocked by skyscrapers,
Am I planting the right seeds?
The little water I have goes to swimming pools
And watering fake laws, adorned with lawn gnomes
My words, like me, are overwhelmed with today

Dear Spring Time,
Have I ever told you that you're my favorite time? There are many sensations I associate with your presence. I love your gradual appearance. I feel like fall sneaks up on you, the trees don't seem to shed their leaves gradually. With a blink of the eye the luscious vegetation of the past two seasons are replaced with skeletons of the months previous.
I love your smells; warm air, cut grass, young flowers, hose water, the mixture is intoxicating.
From October to April complexions are watered down, and drained of summer color, but as you reintroduce the warmth of the sun, complexions brighten only to accentuate smiles, that's another thing I love about you Spring Time, the sunny smiles and warm complexions.
Along with pale complexions Winter & Fall also force us into dark clothing that comes in bundles. I hate the itchiness of wool, and the stifling quality of fleece. Spring clothing is delicate, light cottons are everywhere and the colors are eye catching. Walking around in open toed shoes, shorts, sundresses and t shirts is bearable, and appreciated.
Finally I love the optimism and excitement that only you can bring. Students begin the countdown to summer, retailers reorganize their stores, ice cream parlors higher extra help, and the outdoor swimming pools prepare for business. You're like the "ready, set, almost go" of an epic summer.
Spring time, I love you and I'm glad you're here.

Literary Withdrawals
What's up Blogspot, did you miss me? With the chaos of completing Winter Quarter, enjoying spring break, and starting spring quarter, I've found it hard to find time to blog. But as I sit on my bed, cozy, on this rainy night, I feel that it's time to continue with my blogging efforts! And, I have an exciting experience to share with you!
Last weekend I braved the snow storms that plagued the pass to make it back to the west-side of Washington for a concert, not just any concert mind you, but a Muse concert. Lemme tell ya, it was SOOOOO worth it. If you aren't familiar with Muse's music stop reading this and familiarize yourself with it. Let me give you a break down of the show in the most inconvenient, unorganized way possible, a poorly made list:
1) Maddie get's picked up from her house around 5pm.
2) Maddie and friends arrive at the Seattle Center, and Maddie pays the $12 fee for parking (DEAR SEATTLE CENTER, WTF?).
3) Maddie and friends go into the Key Arena, get wrist bands (because Maddie and friends are so cool and have General Admissions tickets).
4) Maddie and friends proceed to enter the Arena and are shocked by the multitude of speakers and lights that hover above the awesome stage.
5) Maddie and friends head down to the floor and get spots ridiculously close to the stage.
6) Around 6pm Maddie and two of her friends go to the merchandise table and Maddie buys an awesome Muse T-Shirt. Maddie immediately puts it on, because you gotta represent!
7) Maddie and friends return to spots.
8) 7pm, Silver Sun Pickups (Muse's openers) start.
9) 7:30pm Maddie enjoys the Silver Sun Pickups, but begins to become restless as she starts to think about how awesome Muse will be.
10) 7:35pm Maddie get's pissed and uncomfortable as the crowd becomes rowdy
11) 7:37pm Maddie contemplates punching the obnoxious drunk guy who keeps ramming into her in his bald head.
12) 7:50pm, Silver Sun Pickups end their set, and Maddie breaks through the crowd and goes to the bathroom before Muse starts.
13) 8:15pm After waiting in a ridiculous line for the bathroom, Maddie realizes that she will not be able to relocate her friends in the massive crowd because she does not have her cell phone.
14) 8:16pm Maddie realizes she's okay with not finding her friends because she doesn't want to participate in the intense moshing that will occur when Muse starts.
15) 8:30pm After finding a good spot away from the potential mosh pit, but still close to the stage Maddie begins screaming because the lights have gone down, and graphics have appeared on the three cloth covered pillars on the stage.
16) 8:31pm A cord is played, the fabric drops, and there, one on each pillar are the band members of MUSE!!!!
17) 10:00pm After rocking out to the most visually, ascetically, and musically appealing concert ever Maddie, with a smile on her face, proceeds to find her friends.
18) Maddie and friends dine on burgers and fries and speak with raspy voices about the magic they just encountered.
Well Blogspot, I hope you enjoyed my 18 point presentation, I'll try to make my next absence shorter! I'm fairly positive it will be significantly shorter because I'm going to another concert saturday, and my readers deserve to hear about that one too!
Hopefully it will be full of more of the witty banter, because this one was rather bland, MY B.
Peace.
