Topic? I am supposed to write on a topic?


I should be reading Harry Potter right now so I can finally complete the series, but I am not. I am barely into the book. It seems to me that Rowling is taking a long time to get to the action. I’m sure it will pick up soon. I, however, will continue, to your delight you by blabbing on and on about nothing.

I did start out with two goals in mind as are stated in my opening line. (Look at the Binder.) These are the goals that a how loosely danced around and then cast aside, because they are only two parts of who I am.

Who am I? I have a strong narrative voice. Can’t you hear it?

I can stand the heat very well apparently because I am outside cool and happy while the air conditioner is making the inside an ice box. It seem that ever since I went to Florida I’ve had a new definition of hot.

While in Florida, we walked past the Art Deco Beachside in Miami; we stopped at a Starbucks where I had a Green Tea Frap, my favorite Starbucks drink. My sister picked up some Postcards at a visitor center. She collects postcards. We all got a little sun. By all I mean my mother, three sisters, and me. My sister, if I haven’t told you before is a Flight Attendant, which is a much harder job than it sounds; just think of the hours on an overnight flight with babies crying, people drunk, and everything just miserable. Well my sister can handle that and more. She is a professional.

It is just beautiful weather out here and a view as good as anywhere. A deck were the paint is cracked, and a yard with two balls left there from a game. A cat is sleeping on the deck.

Yes, it is run down, but the trees are old as well, old and healthy. There is one of those Red Maple Trees (maybe its call Black Maple I forget) in front of me as the sunlight passes through it you can see a hint of green on the other side. Next to it at a good distance for growth is a normal green maple.

Sure its not the Mountains of Alaska or the Beaches of Florida, but it is quiet.

I like it here, but I still want the school year to come. I am getting nervous, maybe I told you this before, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg with a meatball on top. This year is going to be different from all the rest. It’s that Senor Project I keep on talking about. You know, I’ve talked about this with you before and yet I cannot get my words to match my worry. I want to do what I am doing now. I want to write my way through a topic until all the ends connect. I want to create a complex picture through words. I want to write until I know what to do.

The Ponderings of a Calm Medicated Mind


I am outside in the sun. There are trees all around me. There is an oak behind me that is hundreds of years old. If one branch should fall onto the roof it could cause serious damage, but the tree remains healthy. I am out here to get a little sun so my skin can work a little of… I forget which vitamin, but one thing is for sure sun in little bits is good for you. It is also good to listen to the wind blowing through the trees even if it is overpowered by the sound of the air conditioner.

I have concluded that I am still healthy. After my hospital stay, the doctors told my family that I was close to causing some serious damage, but as it is they never sat me down to talk about anything. I’m guessing this means that there was nothing worth noting.

I’m wonder that if I continue to watch Naruto will Sasuke sooner or later grow up? I wander what he would be like grown up? I’m guessing that he wouldn’t be that charming. He can get away with all his antisocial behavior, and violent behavior as a young ninja, (its understandable being a little off key when you have been taught to kill all your life) but if he turns out like his brother he just will not be likable anymore.

I am sure that after reading so much about Naruto you are rearing to go out and watch the series, do not be afraid, just because I stopped watching them doesn’t mean they are not good. I had other things on my mind at the time. Things like death. In fact it would have been good for me to keep watching the series, than when I was tired between classes I would have had something to do other then sleep.

It is pleasant writing out here in the sun. My computer is getting a little hot, and if I don’t keep a close eye on it, it might catch on fire. Mac’s have been known to do that.

Lets see my time outside is running out (battery life is low). Today is a good day. I woke up in good time, I think I have finally adapted to the sleepiness caused by my medication, I will however take an earlier bedtime for a while.

Ok, I have gone inside, and after walking a little over three miles I am back. You know that saying that you never forget how to ride a bike, well it’s a lie. I used to be able to ride and now I just fall over and twist my ankle. The longer I wait the more foolish I will look out in the road trying the best I can to remember the secrets. I guess it is good to give the neighbors a good laugh. The funny thing is that I learned quite easily the first time.
