Rain and cheap FLYING!

Like a bright camera flash, lightning illuminated the living room window, then rolls of thunder growled in to join the springtime storm. Weather's been weird lately- but I think it was absolutely magical to wake up to several inches of puffy, white snow on Monday, and bone-chilling rain isn't as bad as the adjectives make it out to be.

The weather has given me a chance to try out my new hiking backpack - I've been getting gear lately, let's see, I have:
*Hiking backpack
*decent sleeping bad
*Hennessy hammock
*a cool headlight
*space blanket
*water hydration pack
What else do I really need? I'd like to start buying fruits and veggies and dehydrating them, but, really, you can only plan so far in advance! Sometimes I hate planning - a lot of time can be wasted on it...

ooooh, it's loud now! It sounds like the sky is fighting with itself - as if an earthquake has shattered the firmaments into two sides and they are being forcefully clashed into each other.

I like thunderstorms- sure, some bad memories are associated with them, but incredible ones are as well. What would it be like to sleep in somewhere like Seattle or Peru in the rainy season under a tin roof?

Check out Spirit Airlines for crazy cheap flights!

I do what I do not want...

To Do:
(and is not due)

A list that never ends-
and always needs re-writing-
redone, recycled,re-envisioned.

Nothing else is capable of spawning;
such hatred guilt waves
of remorse

A stack of useless words
given power to show me
in plain writing
that I have not done
as I wished to do.

I run away
from these
straight, English lines
--my heart does not speak English

English as a Second Language,
logic, emotion, thought as first
sensibility tells me lists
need outrank
other thoughts I think
surpass pains I feel(occasionally)
-for nothing is more real than the list

I see homework
I see projects
I see virtual posts
I see a list with all of these things

Icy rain, tufted snow
deter me from classes
and computers to type up drudgery

Give me a pen
paper'd be preferable
perhaps a book for my mind
-if you don't mind-
those would profit more
-more than homework-
see through my eyes:
we're all not the same.
What works for some drives me insane!
