Goodnight Moon

"And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon" -Shivaree, Goodnight Moon

The closer the end of my matriculation approaches, the faster I realize that I need to come up with ways not to lose my mind.

I thought about Mary Jane, but I remembered that I don't smoke. I thought about alcohol, twice. But I remembered that me and alcohol aren't on friendly terms. So, the next best thing is food, and FIKE to make up for my renewed passion in food. So I propose that FIKE places an automatic queue that is based on your time of entry. If you know that your routine is to enter, go to the treadmill, chill out on the bike, do a few seated leg presses, you should have the option to enter this data in - that way the chick who has been on the treadmill for 45 min (when the limit is thirty, are you in training for a marathon?)has an automatic cool down entered in mid jog. Yes, I know that there is a probability that she will fall of due to her lack of stamina, but really, after 45 min of running, you really shouldn't event be alive right now. Call it a favor.

So I think of new ways to think. New ways to explore the universe. New ways to broaden my horizons without broadening myself. Like trying to figure out if a cracker is just a hard cooked piece of bread, or stale bread with a few extra additives. Maybe trying to figure out if organic products are really organic. Half of the time, anything with any health additive only needs to have 10% of something in it to be considered "enriched." Half the time isn't only "partially healthy" because the healthy additive is outweighed by all the other junk in it. Like Nyquil. If you're going to take Nyquil, you might as well just take a shot and call it a night. I'd rather the shot, at least it will taste better. I'm just saying.

So, the next time you're walking on campus, and you're trying to find a better way to make you day interesting take something you see everyday and analyze it differently than how you usually do. For instance, I walk by the reflection pool a lot. Now rather than thinking of it as a degenerate cesspool of toxic waste, I see the wildlife, and appreciate the acid- I mean water- that sprays on me as I walk by on a hotter than hell day. I have yet to lose an eye, so I think it's pretty safe.



Or not. I'm just saying, don't take a dive or dip your finger in it. God didn't just trouble this water, He made it "bitter" i.e. poisonous. Don't do it.

In the end, new ways of life promote new ways of thinking which promote new educational endeavors. Save a planet and think, before you drink, before you wink. The only society that's a dead society is a stupid society. And did I mention that fear of God is the beginning of all knowledge? I'm just saying.

'Tis All.
