woah.

Up before 7am, who am I?

The Little Things

There’s a sweetness in the world
Hand in hand, fingers curled
Fingers strummed along guitar strings
The melodies intertwined with rusty swings
Long days, and shorter nights
A gentle breeze that flies kites,

I can see the happiness in your eyes
No remnants of a disguise,

Pure of heart, sweet with soul
Diamonds that require no coal
Good things, extracted from bad
Days upon days when you’re never sad,

Sometimes it's hard to appreciate the little things
Like warm grass and summer flings
I can always count on you for a smile
It’s a charge that can keep me going for miles,

It’s nice to appreciate the little things
When you’re having trouble finding your wings.

Bottles

I want to write now,
Let the ink flow from my pen and the words from my fingertips
I want to collect the sunsets and falling leaves,
I want to remember this moment with creativity and vivacity
So I can always hear the tone of your laugh and feel the warmth in your embrace
I want words to guide me down memory lane
And keep me sane down main street
If I could bottle the touch of the wind and your rosy cheeks I would
If I could capture the connection I would,
If I could entrust this all to a memory, I would
But I can’t.

Mark your calenders...

It's that time of quarter again, folks! Registration time! Tomorrow at 7am is my time of glory! And if all goes well, I will have a quarter for class-less fridays, AGAIN!

More later!

Over, Under, Away

Too much thought
Dark ideas mixed with cigarettes
Ideas bounce around my stomach like indigestion
Bundle up-
Warmer pajamas
Sweatshirts
Extra blankets
Even the excessive warmth isn’t enough to subdue me
I’m over thinking this
I’m over working this
I’m over analyzing this
I’d do anything to get over this
I need clarity like I need a tall drink of water
I’m overwhelmed
I’m overloading
I’m overheated
Like a computer
But I can’t crash
I just hover over implosion
Maybe I should get out and do something
Walk in the cold
Cut my hair
Make art
Itunes is putting me on edge
I'm too warm for tea
Over this
Under this
Next to this
It doesn’t matter, I just need to get away from the unhealthy this.

INFORMATION FOR YOU.

Herro,

Sorry for the delay! I've been busy with school work and various projects. I'm not fully back up in running the blogging sense, this entry is more about letting the people (you guys) know about some pretty cool shiz coming up! Shiz that I'm involved in.

#1
All of you CWUers should join me on the Thursday, October 28th down at D&M Coffee for their Open Mic night! I WILL be preforming and it WILL be awesome!

#2
I am putting on my own Open Mic Night for my COM 202 class. This is a display of students utilizing their First Amendment rights! It's Called 'Got Beef?' and anyone can get up on that Mic and just talk about what pisses them off about central. It should be really cool, informative, and possibly a good stress reliever? I'll work on uploading one of the flyers later but for now here is all you need to know:
It's tentatively (we're still waiting to hear back from the reservation people) on Wednesday, November 3rd (same day as my dad's bday!) at 7pm in the SURC Pit! If you want to preform you can basically just show up and get on up there!

Alrgithy then!

P.S. If that informative entry didn't have the pzazz/artsy edge you were looking for, here's a poem I just wrote. Be kind it's only 30 minutes old.


Broken Board Games
I love the feeling of a fresh razor on prickly skin,
How the hair just glides off,
Just like you just glided away, that way, in the opposite direction
What the fuck, man
Leaving me here, alone as the bitter spinster
The girl on the outs, ego in the gutter, right?
Wrong.
While you might think your hand is higher,
I hold the marionette strings
I control the situation
That’s right you should walk with trepidation
Every step you take towards me, every word you throw at me
I’m ready
To block the step and catch the word
Because the playing cards are bent, the dice are loaded and the monopoly went bankrupt
The games over

Hola!

On friday I developed my first camera! I got 25 pictures.

Here were the issues:
-I'm pretty sure I took 28 pictures.
-One picture was too dark.
-a majority were washed out.

The good news:
-I was able to semi-save a portion of the washed out pictures.
-The ones taken outside had fantastic lighting and turned out better than I hoped!
-I'm on my way to discovering how to properly use these disposable cameras!

I'm pretty sure that I should straight up not use flash outside, try to avoid taking pictures when there is just bad light, use the flash inside with dim lighting, and lastly I shouldn't use the flash when the room is full of good natural light.

I got a little trigger happy over the weekend so I have a second camera just waiting to be developed, and a third camera waiting to be used...but I'm going to be using this last one more sparingly because I refuse to buy another one this month.

Here are a few examples of my outcomes:

One I was able to save:
















One that was past saving:























And a few that turned out just as I had hoped:








































Hopefully I'll have the next one developed within the next few days.
Comment if you would like the link to my flickr to see the rest!
