Late Night

I find it funny that when you want to write something, nothing comes out. Thoughts can swirl all around your mind but nothing comes onto the digital page! As I sit here wanting to scream from the fury that is inside, from the angry that speaks in my mind, but nothing comes out but the breath of defeat. A silent sound incasing the room, where awkward silence becomes the normal and voice becomes the stranger.

We are living in a time when thoughts and beautiful language exists deathly on a digital screen. We get to visually see the words work together like brother and sister, but don't get to hear the relationship as we read.  Is this a problem or not? People have hunched backs and crooked necks as the beep of a text rings in the air, but next to them a friend remains silent as they walk down the road. Both texting each other as they walk, is this the world we live in?

Will we ever get away from the impersonal relationships that have been formed from the silence become our friend and the digital life becoming the universe? Will we ever step back and se that this was all a mistake and humans need to have a physical life where their inner thoughts come on a page?

I don't know about you, but it is loud in my head, screams of thoughts and ideas swimming in a pool of emotion being held back by the damn of a virtual world. Will it end?

I wanted to publish something today, and I have been sitting here, thinking of something to write. When I decided to write the thoughts in my head, and this come up. I did what my professors have always told me to do: Force yourself to do, work past the wall!

Have an amazing week! This week we are looking at some cool things! I will give you another update on Challenge 365 I have made it to day 20!! I also want to tell you about the library programs I have been working on. Finally, I am planning something huge this weekend! STAY TUNED!

Have a great week!

Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

It can be a crazy time, for sure! Today marks that last day of the month, 37 days till graduation, and the 5 week mark left of school! 

Halloween a Christian holiday? Orginally Halloween was a Christian day, it existed as a time to remember, pray, to the saints and the recent loved ones who pasted away. 

Many different cultures have different ways celebrate. Some will give offering for the dead, showing them that they are welcome. Also lighting candles to light the way.

Now Halloween has a larger background,  with so many differnt culture. If you want to read more about this holiday then google it! 

I wanted to just give a snipet!!

As we approach a time,

One that many fear. 

My shorts get scared,

The pants beg for attention. 

The land is fearing,

As the temp tips down. 

Soon green will be gone,

White will be here. 

Bring joy for some,

Hate for the rest.

Just stop with your antic

Just stop with your annoyance

I am done, I won't, I don't.

How can I be more raw? 

I scream it loud as thunder,

You stare blankly as you repeat. 

Just stop with your Frantic

Just stop with your flamboyance 

I quite, I move, I leave, 

Goodbye.

Tic, tock, tic, tock

The time clicks on.  

Tic, tock, tic, tock

Wasting like a con.

Tic, tock, tic, tock

Mood, a dying swan.   

Tic, tock, tic, tock 

PLEASE stop the pawn.

It hurts, kills, destroys

Respect your fellow friend

Tic, Tock, Tic, Tock

The joy of the mornings

Having the world to yourself

Where imagination creates without warning. 

Maybe one yellow spotted elf,

That wake you with his snoring. 

Maybe a giant snake sitting on your self,

That tells you your mothers is calling. 

 Maybe a purple, two headed giraffe who cleans himself

That watches all the sports and does all the scoring. 

Maybe a 5 legged, 16 armed, kola that cleans itself,

That loves to go walking. 

Whatever your imagination creates, 

You have the power to do it all. 

Have an adventures morning.

I wish I never

I wish I could go back

Form that time I posted that. 

I wish I could rewrite

I wish I could try again

From that time it changed everything. 

Mistakes happen everyday

They can eat us up 

They can tear us apart

Shred your confidence 

Only if we let it. 

When we look at the M word

Let's face it as we ready for battle. 

Charge head front and conquer 

Battle until the M is smaller then an atom. 

Take your experience, apply it. 

Own it for future use 

Until the next battle, prepare!

It comes soon.

The day of the dead,

The past that bled red

Awake, all misled. 

They walk around, unsaid, 

Hunger for a loaf of bread,

We yell for them to go ahead,

As we see one in a creek bed,

Who simply looks misread

All he wants is his old wed. 

Can we help this undead?

-Sukup

10.5

When we write

We let our emotions pour out

So everyone can see our rawness. 

When we are able to do this

People will experience the greatest gift of all

The experience of human. 

To have this affect on a person

Will give us great strength 

However the question remains

Do we write for them or 

Do we write for us?

-Sukup

That is it for this week! Come back next week for more poems, more memories, more fun, and maybe a new series!;)

Have a great night
