Repressed volcanic energy of an ancient mariner
I love being to wordy,
This leads me to making more nonsense than sense which is my ultimate goal. Making nonsense out of sense is more like it ,,,, Unfortunate my ambition outstretches my skills and my maturity. I take fragments of my influences- titles, images, and world views. I wish to have a deeper meaning come thru but if it isn’t there it isn’t there. So my new goals are to achieve new goals.

I was acting according to mine: lacking the claws and teeth to defend my tree I had to use the tools I bought from home depot, the wise man avoids conflict whenever possible; the fool avoids it in any cost. During WW2 George Orwell made a well-reasoned argument that British pacifist by refusing to take up arms against Nazi Germany where actually acting on behalf of Nazi Germany. These Nazi squirrels needed to be stopped.

    Too often we focus on having what we want at the end of our efforts; we overlook what we will need to be successful. This is a thought that occurred to me while reading an article for an assignment in my English Composition class at SNHU. The article was “Me Talk Pretty One Day” written by David Sedaris. In the article, Sedaris writes about wanting to learn the French language, so he moves to Paris and enrolls in a French class. In trade for his tuition, he is granted juvenile discounts and a teacher that openly detests him.…

    We came across three bulls and cut them off before they could get to the swamp with the car. We sped in front and I jumped out and started firing, Wilson and I brought down two and we had to hop back in the car to chase the third, but we successfully brought him down before he escaped.
