emily & claire. bffz.

for my mom

her grey hair shows
only when the when the wind blows
a silver undercoat
shivering against her red overcoat
she doesn't mind growing bolder
she'll always be younger than the wind.

life of pi

“I know zoos are no longer in people’s good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both.” -Pi Patel

Pi is a University of Toronto graduate who studied zoology and religion. His intense passion for the two seemingly extremely diverse subjects allowed him to connect the two subjects metaphorically. Although I am not religious, this quote made me think deeper about the reasons why so many people are. Pi has constantly heard the argument that animals are not happy in a zoo, because it is not their natural habitat. He attacks this justification by explaining that the animals are born in captive are perfectly happy because they have never known anything else. That is, they haven’t known anything else than having food provided for them regularly, a clean territory that is a haven from predators, and many other luxuries. So why would they desire to enter the wild and face the hardships of real life? The same can be said for someone of religious beliefs. They may be living in a false world, but it is a safe, and happy shelter. They could easily step outside the cage, and face the facts if they wanted to, but these people would rather live by the mantra, “Ignorance is Bliss.” Why shouldn’t they, if they are so happy in doing so.

sun day moon

its a quarter to midnight

"the old cold tea spilling on cement
reminds me of a grey cloud on a windy day
my memories blow outside the closed window
to take a closer look
my mind stays in
seatbelt fastened
just in case
something were to ever happen."

hello, hello, hello is there anybody out there out there?

hi emily. i love to talk to you on the telephone.
you're my best friend.
lets start writing letters again.
xo, your friend claire

Soo..
since nobody reads my blog ( don't worry, i KNOW nobody reads my blog, i have a site tracker that would tell me if such an absurd thing were ever to happen )
I have decided to go blog-happy so to say.
I'm going to start blogging my life away... maybe.

what better day to start, than this cold dreary one. Some would call it a grey, sad, rainy day.
But it is so not like that. The bush outside my window looks so intricate and interesting silhouetted against pure white sky, the slush on the ground makes such a satisfying sound, the cool crisp january air is just cool enough to turn my cheeks red but not enough to make my nose cold. People around here don't notice that anymore.

everyone knows that one of the most common "small talk" ( or "i dont have anything better to say" ) conversations is the weather. Has nobody else noticed this pattern but me? Its always complaining about the weather! What is the deal with that?

before my weather rant gets weird, i'm going to change the subject.

Today was my first day back to school.

I dont know what else to say about it...

It was that eventful. Infact, I dont even remember what happened.


This post is so boring and poorly written- but guess what- it doesnt matter, do you know why?
BECAUSE NOBODY READS MY BLOG ANYWAYS (:

i think i kind of like it this way. lets keep it like this.
