Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
by Dylan Thomas

i like this poem just because of the depression. but i dont see why he's so intent on not dying.

Living

To live would be an awfully big adventure. - Peter Pan

Silence

silence is golden but words are silver.
i think thats it. i probably messed it up but you get the general idea.

Neighborhood Pets

Like four months ago we got an email from the home owners association with a subject line saying : Found Pet. so we click on it and it says.
We found a small tan goat wandering around the neighborhood. If this is your pet, please come and pick it up.

Funny right? Apparently in Georgia goats are pets. The other assorted animals on the poll live in the pond and/or park.

Elections

i know that this is gonna tick people off but hey, if ya don't like it dont read it. im debating Clinton over Obama for upcoming elections. for my fam voting rebublican is so not an option. personally i would vote for anyone who would pull out of Iraq now, don't care what they do about anything else. ok i might have a personal interest in this (my dads in the military. he hasn't been deployed yet but it's coming) but when you know a bunch of the guys over there its a big deal. im thinking Obama mainly cuz the world isn't ready for Hilary.

Water

i am (as you now know) an environment freak. one of the things i hate most is water pollution. probably a result of living, first by a bay, then by the Mississippi, and then by the ocean. anyway it makes me really mad when people just throw their trash in the ocean.

Back To Nature

its time to go back to nature. hiking swimming tying flies. no computer. oh well. ill miss you ink. *sob sob*

Grass

i am slightly obsessed with grass. its another freak thing. my lawn has tons of crabgrass. i think it should stay. after all it is a part of our natural environment. my parents think that it should go. it looks bad. my parents aren't really shallow. we just live in an upscale neighborhood. everybody else who lives there freaks out if their lawn starts looking like it might need a trim within the next two months. ALL the time. unfortunately for me this means if i want the crabgrass to stay... i mow.

For The Record

Just for the record ink never told me that the snake was fake. if she did i must have a really bad memory.

environment

anyone can tell you i am obsessed with nature. mainly preserving our natural environment. dont kill snakes (or allow your cat too), dont litter, dont destroy forests. that kinda stuff. of course i tell this to people. and this is the reaction i get. if you dont want to kill the crabgrass, mow the lawn!!! (my mom) so what if he chews on it, its just a stupid snake. (my friend, i later found out the snake was fake. i was not aware of that at the time. ohh it was her cat doing the chewing.) ooookkkk, sure, ITS A BUSH!!!! IT DOESNT CARE IF I HIT IT!!!!!!! (my brother) but i still do it. im wondering why...

Youre nuts!!!!!!! (everybody i know)

Nature

this is sort of about my summer and what we do. and then, its sort of not. we have a cabin in the woods. we have all the amenity's. running water(inside!!), electricity, and a phone. this comes complete with bare stud and plywood walls( no insulation for those of you who are not construction freaks) and no heat or air conditioning. i totally love it. we've been going there for like 8 years so im used to it. but this summer i got kind of bored. your choices for entertainment are reading, hiking and swimming. so i started thinking. oops. now i wonder why that is called nature when everybody in America lives in the suburbs in a nice house. im still trying to figure that one out.
