Day 61 - Hang

I finished the poster for save the rainforest,

that's pretty much the legitamacy of my day.

I also read a beautiful story in creative writing today but I don't know who it's by.

Every society can be modelled off of a city. It'll help you understand people.

Open your eyes to your surroundings, and see other angles.

Because the only way to defend your point of view,

is to understand the oposing one.

Day - 51 -60 - Memories on Fire

All these lives pass before you when you walk the streets, and I find it crazy to think how many people affect you at once.

How many people have the potential to change the life you live forever, and how you pass them muted everyday for fear.

I guess it all comes down to fear, a blind fright that something negative will come from throwing your emotions like a life preservor into the sea, and watching to see if anything grabs hold

Because eventually you'll just pull it on back, and it'll be harder if someone latches on, but oh so worth it.

oh i will Never Forget These Years.

Day 50 - Warped

I went into New York City with my photography class today. Missed all of school for it. It went a lot faster than last year, and I only saw two exhibits at the MoMa in like, two hours. But it was pretty awesome, and I had a great time.

And about twenty minutes ago I was overcome with this feeling of sickness, ah. It was remarkable how quickly the feelings overtook me, and now I'm having trouble seeing straight.

Ah life, you're a funny guy.

What is true to me may not be true to you,

And what is true to you may be true to everyone,

but me.

Because see, i'm different, not what you think

So don't sync your ideas to me like a machine,

You can't link your mind to mine, because you see,

I'm me. You're you.

And then life starts over anew.

Day 49 - On a Whim

*The First photograph actually, the fire singed the hair on my arm, my camera lens almost got lit up.

This entire weekend was constructed through a web of last minute plans. All of them were worth it. Whether it was my Dad showing up at my friend's house and coming into the bathroom while I was showering to tell me to hurry up,

Or if it was watching flames rise tens of feet into the air and being obnoxious teenagers

I love life. I swear it's all up for me.

If you steal my sunshine.

Days 44-48 - This won't happen again

Science is the currency of discovery,

Creativity is the currency of philosoph

And Creative Science is the currency of the world.

Quite the week. I didn't stop taking pictures, and will endeavor to make haste with the posting of said photographs back to a daily basis.

Love you, whoever you are

Days 40 - 43 = JKHFDASKLGFAKG

Don't be afriad to play the game, even though you may lose.

That tree stump is the tree that was a few posts earlier.
Everything eventually dies.

Day 39 - I Can Wait

Good day. Colder than the others. Yesterday my thermostat read 80. It's 53 degrees outside. The weather needs to stop having it's period.

Tomorrow my town is having the Saint Patrick's Day Parade, even though it's April. We got rained out the day it was supposed to occur. Come to think of it, that's the day I took the SATs.

In school today we had a guest speaker during my free block. I was about two minutes away from not going, since I can go anywhere during my AEP block, but I decided to go.

It was one of the most life changing presentations someone put on for me. And it taught me a lot about life in general. It really showed how everyone is connected and CONSTANTLY affecting one another. I think that's beautiful.

It could be a lot worse. I love my life.

Day 38 - Plagued by Joy

..still 80.

Day 37 - HEAT

89 degrees.

Day 36 - Ouch

Today, oh today was a day. That just happened.

But as I tell the people I know, time is the most powerful medicine, too much and too little can kill you.

It's supposed to be 89 degrees tomorrow. My room has been a steady seventy five degrees for the last three days, without fail.

This warm weather is keeping me from being cold inside and out,

Literally and metaphorically.

Sweet dreams world.

Day 34 and 35 - Dirty Minds and Keeping Words

Yesterday was a cool day. I worked in the yard for four hours for free, had an awesome dinner and saw old family friends.

Then today had school, not a bad first day back and designed my independent study. SO STOKED. Photojournalism.

aaannnd helped out some friends. Ah the trials and tribulations of growing up.

You come here for life, and that's exactly what they take from you. But if you just breathe the clean air and remember thousands have been in worse situatioins, and gone further then you have yet, then maybe we can all just push forward with our lives and become a sad story poster example for some kid growing up.

So when you transform into an ancient being, seized by dementia and other ailments, you can listen to the words complained by young bloods around you. and think.

Damn, I was there.

Day 34 - "Screw it, it's the last night of break"

I saw Eric and Leah, the fellow photographers who instigated the creation of this blog. These kids, something about being with them just makes me laugh.

Later that night, I left the house to go and walk around my town when the street lamps glow, and I spent the entire time on the phone. Eight hours. :)

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Day 33 - Green Walls

I'm not in a story telling mood. Let the photographs tell the story.

I love you

Day 32 - Enfin

Enfin in french means finally, which is exactly what I ment for today.

I got to see some people who I truly, even while i was driving to her house, didn't think I would ever see again.

But lo, that just happened. Time crawled by, and the mighty beast used it's powers to lengthen the day and reinforce our friendship like a metal plate holds bones when they can't do it alone.

Hold onto that paper, my girl. It'll keep you safe one day.

See you on the other side ♥
