It's October and I am awake, aware, and more alive than usual. It is something about the screaming death of the trees and the cool autumn breeze that heightens my subconscious. My surroundings feel vivid and yet surreal and my dreams are crisp and full of sensations. October moves me, if it was any longer than 31 days I think I would abandon all responsibilities, build a hut outside, and live alongside the trees with my camera and my notebook. Good thing October ends right?
Ringo my puppy is in his rapid growth stage where he increases in size dramatically every few days. Right now his head is much too large for his body which makes him hilarious. He is constantly banging his head on his cage, on the walls, and has even tripped over the weight of it. He doesn't let these blows to the head affect him though he just carries on as if they didn't happen. Possibly his defense mechanism against embarrassment. I feel guilty that I am not around as much as I feel like I should be for him. He is a growing pup and I feel like I miss out on a lot because I am always working, at school, or busy doing school work and internship hours at home. I am very thankful because Matty and his mother take him several days a week and shower him with attention. I suppose it does take a village so hopefully he wont grow up to sell crack or join a gang and resent me too much.
I am anxious for election day. I am sick of all the slander all over the television in the morning. I am tired of watching people ring eachother's necks over who they "know" the best candidate is. I've heard intelligent and ignorant people from both sides. I have also seen equally appalling commercials from both sides slandering the opposing candidate. Enough is enough and Obama can you pleeeease stop emailing me and facebooking me harassing me for donations? I clicked the little pledge button to be your supporter because I support you and what you stand for, not so you could send me endless emails persuading me on the importance of giving you money. This country has bigger things to worry about so can we go ahead and vote now?
