Where there were no $500 cell phones that had to be replaced every 2 months and people could just walk down the street and if they wanted to say hello. And people weren’t going into debt because there was no reason to have a cell phone that could show videos and $3,000 TVs with HD. When there were no airplanes that could crash into buildings and guns that encourage crime.
And where people could ride off into the sunset on a chestnut colored horse because they were no cars, so they didn’t pollute the air.
Let’s go back to when the water was so pure you could drink it right out of the stream and you didn’t have plastic bottles that would become litter and most likely not get recycled.
The Age when everything was biodegradable and the world was dying from toxic wastes.
The times when people grew their own fruits and vegetables and they didn’t have to be worried about bad chemicals and e-coli in their spinach.
Where obesity wasn’t a word and people didn’t live off of McDonald’s and Taco Bell.

Thank you for continuing to put money in my back account even though I my internship ended several weeks ago.

I haven’t been this scared in a long time and I?m so unprepared,
so here?s your valentine bouquet of clumsy words,
a simple melody this worlds an ugly place,
but your so beautiful to me.

“The college years”
University at Albany, fall 2006
Interpersonal Communications 201
Professor: tall gangly man who wears fancy suites [tie and all], and a different pair of sneakers every day
Small class
every time someone responds to his questions- he repeats what you say only in a question [aka makes you look stupid]
Speech Communications and Presentation 203
Professor: Super-cool graduate student with a nice accent and who most definitely received “best dressed” in her high school year book
Another small class, but that doesn’t matter because you have to give 5 speeches throughout the semester.
I, for one, am not good at speaking, especially in front of people I don’t know where the guys most likely aren’t even paying attention because they are easily distracted by large breasts.
Financial Accounting 211
2nd attempt at this course [first professor handed out financial statements the first class, and I said "what the hec am I suppose to do with this"]
523 students enrolled in the class
If you don’t get there at least 10 minutes early-you have to sit on the floor
Professor: super-cool. In 10 minutes she made 10 confusing weeks at Citizens Bank finally make sense.
And finally…
Communication Studies and Persuasion 465
Professor: Graduate student. Asian [can't understand/or hear a damn word she says]
But the class always gets out 30 mins before it’s suppose to [so who's complaining?]
It’s going to be a fun year.
Only 2 more semesters after this one!

It has recently occurred to me that I do not have a green thumb, which is why I will only buy cactuses now because you pretty much can’t kill them. This was my beautiful orchid [my favorite flower]:
The flowers wilted off a few months ago when I moved….and they’re suppose to grow back within a few months. I did everything the book said. I even put candle wax on its “wound” after I cut off the stems. But nooo.. My Venus fly trap pretty much withered away after I repotted it. It was flourishing, and so I decided to give it a home, a cozy terrarium. It’s dead. Also two other plants are now dead, and yeah the 4 jumbo plants on the back deck [that I spent a $100 bucks on, including new pots] are now turning brown.
However, I do have this cool little guy…It’s a sorrel.
Sam gave it to me….aww
We thought it died, but it miraculously came back to life. During the day the leaves opens and grow towards the sun.
And the other good news is I have 4 healthy cactuses and 5 healthy bamboo stalks! Whoopee!
