And So
Some pretty neat things have happened to me in the past few days.
My buddy Graham and I were walking out of English and saw a bird. It wasn't moving and we weren't sure if it was dead or not. We got up really close to it and it moved its little head around and blinked its hugs round eyes at me and stared, turning its head slightly to the left as if it were more confused at me stopping then I was of him not moving. He was breathing just fine and we didn't notice any broken bones and he wasn't limping at all. Graham and I were petting him and a little crowd gathered around us. Graham nudged him a little and the bird hopped to the right revealing a small pile of poop he had been sitting on. This bird was able to hop, breathe, move, blink, and walk, but just decided to let us enjoy his presence instead. The group around the bird grew larger and larger until it had reached about 25 people, all equally amazed at this birds actions, or lack there of. One girl was standing near the bird in one of the closer proximity rings that had formed of onlookers and gawking southern college students, and with her foot in her sandal, proceeded to nudge the bird slightly. Before her foot was 4 inches from his slick feather chest, the bird looked forward, and took off. Hovering for an instant in place while his wings flapped wildly, and yet in some sort of precise fashion. The bird flew through some overhanging branches and we did not see it again, but we all let out a simultaneous and confused laugh at the site we had just witnessed together. That was definitely one of the coolest things i have ever seen.
I'm having to do articles for English class. We have to find an article a day and post it on our blog site. Yesterday I found the article about the Condor egg found in California that could potentially safe the Condors existence. But today I found an article on a man who is selling real estate on the moon. He found a loop hole in the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty and is selling earth surface for 20 dollars and acre! i thought it was ridiculous. "Buyers include Hollywood stars, large corporations - including the Hilton and Marriot hotel chains - and even former US presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. George W Bush is also said to be a stake holder." How about that for sanity.
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU BETTER THAN THAT CARTER!!!! hahaha
No government has acknowledged these sales as legal transactions, but i think the entire idea is ridiculous.
I had a really good day today. It started kinda glum, but i cheered up a whole lot. I went to the HOPE meeting and volunteered myself to be in the Ad and PR group and head it up almost. There are 2 of us as of right noe in Ad and PR. I think this will be one of the neatest experiences, HOPE. It will be my job to get people to notice homelessness. That what i really want to do and I found a way at my school to do that :). The entire experience so far has made me so happy, and it's only been 2 meetings haha. There's going to be a lot of work to come, but i know it will be so worth it. And its a work that isn't bothersome by any means, it's a passion.
I've been working on a lot of music lately too. If this week continues to be as relaxed and resting as these first two days, id expect maybe a new song out by friday, so check my purevolume page ; ). thats www.purevolume.com/reidphillips
Im also trying to get a job for this summer. Im trying out all sorts of places in Greensboro, climbing gyms, and backpacking stores mostly. If anyone out there has any kind of suggestions, please tell me. Right now I just want a job, I need the money.
Things are just getting a lot better and EVERYONE is becoming a lot happier, which makes me a whole lot happier.
Spring hardly did its job this year, but summer will take its place. Spring should have made everyone cheerful and bright, but with cold fronts and pouring rain, its just been gloomy :/ Summer will be here soon enough. Just a few more weeks of classes and then some honest to God rest. None of this fake-ass rest we call the weekends or trips home. Some real, no more worries, bring on the fun and sun rest. My mind just feels like it has to have a real good rest form all this work. And I honestly can't wait. So many things lined up for the summer, and so much time to spend with the love of my life <3
