_^?/66/22/15 I am graduating later today so there is a sense of urgancy both in my mind, my peer's minds ans my families. people moving on are the same as people remaining stagnant, except for the fact hat the future is mysterious and, in a sense, unwritten.urgancy is a mysterery all in itself. a sense of excitment, fear and anticipation are all bound togetherer, with, obiviously the knowledge that time is not like wealth, and cannot simply be retaken. time is effortless , much like a a golf score, whereit is easy to up the number, but the goal is, and in our current minds, not to. no one wants to advance in time, but everyone does and wil.

thank you for your time 6/22/15

a friend of mine recently asked me to rate him on a scale from pretty to smart. i gave him a 3.5. i told him if he were as smart as he was pretty, he would have to be in mensa. what a booster of egoes i am. i am trying to publish an anthology. does anyone give a shit about the lives of some precocious stoner teenagers trying to evolve into people.

my grandmother was the 1940 new york state typing champion at the tenderage of 16, so i feel pretty crappy anout not knowing how to use this thing.needless to say, im 9enjoying this taste of the past pretty (much i mean very mych. i think that if she was alive and lucid enough to see this, she, would be very pleased that us kids havent been totally corrupted and are still using or rathere sampling the technology that ruled her life

Then a second thought occurred: maybe my bright light ios the reason I belopng here. She turned to her father and he said "I know what you are thinking, and I have always loved New York." And then he said "Love is all that matters so always believe in it. Always have faith in New York."

katie wiped her brow and continued running,she laughed happily as she reached h destinatin new york she expected it to be big and bright and flawless but as her eyes ajusted the lihghts of times squre seemed less bright to her. And theasphalt that was tightly packed beneath her suburban feet seemed no better than the dirt roads her dusty feet were used to. After spendimg over an hour staring expectantly at the bright blurry lights. She realixze, maybe new york just wasnyt for her maybe her lihgt was bright enough.

Dear Mom,I miss you. You taught me how to type on the manual and then on the electric. In high school i wondered whether to learn typing because it had "secretarial" associations. But it is how you wrote and wrote stories, news features, letters to family during the war, and across an ocean an play soo, and the newsletter and swimming instructor games. And here i am touch typing, having lesrned to text eith my thumbs snd to read and write.
