The Words In My Mind(a little piece I wrote yesterday)

Words swim in my consciousness and subconsciousness.  They tell me to jump in, so I do.  No, not jump in.  I dive in, put both arms first, not both feet.  Twisting myself into vibrant and vivacious flips and turns as I ready to slip smoothly in and descend into my mind.  The words swarm towards me, a motley mix of angry, excitable, feisty  pensive, indecisive, and a myriad of others that are waiting to be processed, refined, and set out on paper. But even if I spend my earthly life transferring them from my mind to a page, I'll still have a plethora of orphans waiting to be adopted into its home story.  And sometimes my words aren't tractable and they decide to run away to the unmapped territories in my mind.  Most of the time, they get lost and never find a way back.  But occasionally, they return.  And those words have the best stories to tell for they may still be young, but life has aged them.  They may still be spitfires, but they are no longer imprudent, time having taught them to be concise.  They tell stories of the battles and glories, hardships and failures, etc. that they slowly accumulated knowledge about to share later.  These are my words.  Some still are young and they haven't quite learned how to summarize, or how to be themselves.  But time will teach and, eventually tell their fate.  And all I have to do, is wait.

Rant

So one day I was sitting in science class and I saw this dude holding a paper clip..... while looking at the electric socket.  At first I thought big deal, I mean he's fifteen, there's no way he'll stick a paper clip in the electric socket.  But as I watched in disbelief I saw this idiot stick a paper clip in the socket, and all I could think is, "O my god he's such an idiot." I mean what teenager doesn't know that metal and the electric socket DO NOT go together.  Even worse was that we had to have a fire drill because the teacher thought we were having a fire.  I guess I shouldn't be so surprised though.  My cousin told his little brother to stick a fork in the electric socket because he would get super shock powers......and he did.  I think this is just a guy thing, like they think everyone boy has to stick something in the electric socket before he become a "man" or something.  I love, love, love my cousins but sometimes I wonder if they're ok.  They do some interesting things.

A Page From My Journal

The Chair
Shadows play upon the walls of my heart,
giving me brief glimpses of knowledge that
something else I'm not aware of is there.

They allude to darker sides of myself

that are only illuminated when the spotlight

is shown on them.

silhouettes on the wall,
nothing of substance in
my grasp ... yet.
How do you combat shadows

any more than you can

talk to a character in a book,

see the wind,

or fight the ghost of an old memory

Shadows play upon the walls of my heart,

leaving me nothing but the sense

I'm not getting something just out of my grasp,

but not out of my sight

Tantalizing and torturing at the same time,

leaving me alone in my Chair.

Sometimes Words Sound Different Than They Are Spelled

Have you ever read a word aloud based on how it looks only to find out that it has a completely different pronunciation all together?  I have.  You know the word ‘colonel’?  It sounds like it’s supposed to be pronounced ‘ka-lo-nel’, but it’s not.  It’s actually pronounced ‘ker-nel’.  What?!  Why would you make a word that looks nothing like how it is said?  SO I have a bone to pick with the English Language.  Please stop making words that don’t look like they sound.  I mean, think about people that are trying to learn English as a second language.  Do you really want to make them suffer?  Do ya really?  Since I’ve already berated you and scolded you, I’ll be nice and give you a couple words that you need to work on.

1.       Featherstonehaugh     pronounced Fan-shaw (really?!  You couldn’t have just spelled it that way?  It’s a real word, by the way.  If you don’t believe me, look it up.  And no, I didn’t look it up on urban dictionary.)

2.       Ghoti    pronounced ‘fish’ (okay, really now?  I know this seems implausible, but it’s true.  I had to look it up for myself.  Apparently, the ‘gh’  is a ’f’ sound, the ‘o’ has an ‘i’ sound, and the ‘ti’ has the ‘sh’ sound as in creation)

3.       Chutzpah pronounced ‘hut-ba’ (…..?)

These are just a few of them… So  yeah.  Hope you enjoyed. :)

Annoying People

So this semester I decided to take a photography class.  I walked into this class thinking “Ahh, this is going to be relaxing compared to my other classes”, sadly I was mistaken.  At first, all was well, the other students were easy to get along with and the teacher was always free to help.  But by the 2^nd or 3^rd class one of the students was taking all of the teacher’s time.  Which I personally think is amazing since he never printed or developed any pictures……  at all.  I want to know how a person can talk for 3 hours non-stop about absolutely nothing.  I mean this dude never finished a project, not even one.  Yet he was always talking to the teacher about what to do for his projects.  I have to give him his props for that, because I don’t see how a person could have so much to say about a project that does not even exist.  On top of this the dude was a douche.  He was always asking stupid and unnecessary questions, but he was also really prideful too.  He always thought he was right.  It’s like he thought that no one else could hold a candle to his brilliantness and no one could tell him he was wrong like ever.   All I wanted to ask this dude is: “how does such a know-it-all, like yourself, need to ask so many god-awful questions.” I mean I figure since he was so brilliant he would know everything and wouldn’t need to ask any questions.   Don’t you hate when you have to deal with annoying people????

Awkward!!

Everybody knows that feeling you get when you're caught with your pants down (metaphorically) and the only thing you can say is AWKWARD!  Well here are some moments that I have had and maybe you can identify with them.
Hey, you know that awkward moment when:
            You almost walk into someone but don't, then can't figure out how to get around each other?
            Everyone gets the joke but you're still clueless?  Like what do you do, say you don't get it or laugh with everyone else?
            It's really loud so you shout something to your friend just when everyone else goes quiet?
            One of your friends keeps commenting on every one's looks and the person they are currently talking about overhears and turns around to stare at YOU?
            You try to give someone a high-five and they don't see you?
            You raise your hand to give your friend a high-five and they give you a fist bump?
            You're trying to hand something to your sister in a crowd and youtouch someone else's butt?
            You're sitting down and someone stops with their butt right in your face and starts talking to someone?
            Someone thinks your dating the person sitting beside you when it's actually your cousin or someone you don't know at all?
            You see someone you know, get their attention and realize it wasn't who you thought it was -- in fact, you don't know them at all?
             You're talking to a friend about someone you don't like and you find out they are related to them?

These are just a few moments that you can only laugh about when it's not you or after they're over. Hope you enjoyed it.
