Pumpkins And Candy in the Dark

Good Evening my technologically connected friends,

Today is October 31, to some of you this means Halloween, to others it is simply an other day. I'm sending this message to all. In order to cater to each group I say happy Halloween to some and offer a hollowed eve to others. With some of you I stay in constant contact, others I have met only a couple times or once. Still others,-who will remain nameless-it seems has dropped me from their social lists faster than a rotten pumpkin.

Atmosphericly this day is framed by nothing more than the dark, costumes, pranks and overly expensive candy. It is a day or night rather, that is illuminated, not by lamppost but by jackal lanterns ;so that in the darkness ,instead of white or yellow of fluorescent, you see faded orange. I imagine in some neighborhoods the sound of cars roaring up and down the streets have been traded for the hollow echoes of feet, hails of children empowered by nightly gales. Door bells that refuse to cease until night exchanges for dark day--prank or plea, you'll have to open the door to see. Streets will fill and bowls will lighten; boys will shriek and girls will frighten. Some will wait to bestow, others will come to be given, so be ready those who wish to stay and wish not to play, you will be besieged on this lantern lit night by children and by those who still claim to be. So whether you pass the night in play or you stay guarding the coveted bowl; or maybe you pass the night away with a little literacy from a guy named Ray--who likes this occasion quite a lot. So as you survey the children go, seeking what they know to find and leaving their cares behind to be picked up the next day. For this night they can break away and let fall the worries into the dark, forgotten. Well this discourse of nights not seen by the writer's eye has come to an end. Accomplishing its purpose: bleeding me of this nightly whim, but I do know something to this end: I shall send my kids into that night fearing not the tainted, for my children need to know this dark beyond the window. Their echoes of glee will be added to the chorus. For why fear pumpkins and candy in the dark?

Farewell to October and to you, my reader and friend

Higher Education

Forgive the "settling silence" valid busy adapting to college. Aside from my usual writing catharsis I'm here to evil several notions. Along the way, it is certain, that I was drenched my creative median since I am under no duress from any English inclined higher power. So college, an institution that frames your life, gives you the ability to move on with life through certification. The force that can reward and change and enlighten you. Yet, somehow, that same in lightning force cane terrify some. Why is that? Why is college so scary to certain individuals? Unfortunately, I cannot enter that question for I am only one person. Despite what some professors think I am not able to answer for anyone else but me. Why was I afraid of college? Preconceived notions have a lot to do with it. They accompanied the regular and anxieties of moving from a place to another. There was also the realization that I'm living relatively on my own. You're responsible for your daily activities. This service is no longer free nor is it mandated, you must pay suffer. As such the professors expect that the individuals present wished to be there, at least the majority of the time. Now for the denouncing process.
I shall now trying to go through a small list of falsehoods as they relate to higher learning. First, there is the notion that all professors are removed. By this I mean that they do not teach a simply assign work take papers and take your money. So far, for me, this has not been the case. I even had one professor teach us dramatics that are supposedly learned in a middle school. A college professor stood at the front teaching 18 and 19 year olds have to use commas. Needless to say, I was rather surprised. Moreover, he actually condos or informed us that there is the role actual written in rules for the reasons behind commas-this was news to me. For as long as I could remember, teachers only said something like this:, search be placed where ever there are positives in the Senate. This, as I found out, is a rather crappy way of teaching grammar. It just so happens that there are seven weapons to the basic uses of the comma, who knew?!
I shall now chart to impart them to my readers, that is, if I have any
1., search be used when dealing with numbers (1,000,000)
2., search be used in the date preceding the day and coming after the year
everyone knows those two
3. Commas is to be used after a introductory phrase or word
4. Commas is reused to set off a direct quotes (according to Paul,...)
5. Commas are to be used in listing
6. Commas are to be used in connecting independent clauses with a conjunction
7. Commas are to be used to isolate parenthetical material, that is, extra information that is not necessary to convey the idea a sentence
there you have it, if you care, information I could be used many many years ago. College will indeed awaken you to many concepts the rule find for. Some of these concepts will disturb you. Others will enlighten it is up to the individual to comb through all those stimuli and decide what to partake.
Exams are no longer something you do in school to pass the time and give the teachers something very exams are now the meet behind your success or failure. You must learn the information that is presented, take the test and pass or you will fail and waste money. Money should never be wasted especially not now.
Despite living in the college life I still find it a mere necessity to obtain the appropriate certification that supposedly says I know what I say I know. That brings me to another point, in this day in age college is mandatory, not legally but it is permission during my experiences I have gone from being idle till it hurts to lose in my head over the obstacles placed before me. Such is the lane with this particular ride in now that I have lapsed into mine less rambling I will in this edition and go back to expensive suffering
