I wrote.

I wrote many words.

I wrote it all down,

and then I held my finger on the backspace key.

I watched it all disappear,

and it was a nice thing to watch.

No one should ever be up this late on a Tuesday, or Wednesday depending on how you'd look at that, but here I am trying to make sure my first big assignment is perfect.

Writing for Media Markets is my favorite class for a few reasons:

-It's interesting

-It's fun

and

-It matters

So here's to hoping that things work out great tomorrow.

Despite the night's inability to end at a decent time, it has been a good night. I know I'll be tired tomorrow, but as all college kids are tired this just means I'll have joined the ranks of the average once again. So what makes a person somethings special anyway?

Edge of the Ocean-Ivy

There's a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won't you take me there with you.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

There's a world I've always known
Somewhere far away from home.
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

Take me to the edge of the ocean...

Take me to see these...

The Beautiful, and the Damned

Cry Cry Pretty

Pretty

Why is the word pretty so underrated? In November the leaf is pretty when it falls. The stream grows deep in the woods after rain. And in the pretty pool the pike stalks. He stalks his prey, and this is pretty too, The prey escapes with an underwater flash. But not for long, the great has him now. The pike is a fish who always has his prey And this is pretty. The water rat is pretty. His paws are not webbed; he cannot shut his nostrils As the otter can and the beaver; he is torn between The land water. Not 'torn he does not mind. The owl hunts in the evening, and it is pretty. The lake water below him rustles with ice. There is frost coming from the ground, in the air mist. All this is pretty; it could not be prettier. Yes, it could always be prettier, the eye abashes. It is becoming an eye that cannot see enough, Out of the wood the eye climbs. This is prettier. A field in the evening, tilting up. The field tilts to the sky. Though it is late, The sky is lighter than the hill field. All this looks easy, but really, it is extraordinary. Well, it is extraordinary to be so pretty. And it is careless, and that is always pretty. This field, this owl, this pike, this pool are careless. As Nature is always careless and indifferent. Who sees, who steps, means nothing, and this is pretty. So a person can come along like a thief-pretty! Stealing a look, pinching the sound and feel, Lick the icicle broken from the bank, And still say nothing at all, only cry pretty. Cry pretty, pretty, pretty, and you'll be able Very soon not even to cry pretty. And so to be delivered entirely from humanity. This is prettiest of all, it is very pretty. Stevie Smith My best friend posted a poem on her blog, and upon reading it I thought of my all time favorite poem. It's good to remember.

Alright.

It's four twenty eight in the morning, and I'm just not tired. Insomnia is rather inconvenient, I'd say everyone agrees.
