Una Carta de Vida

Hola todo el mundo.

I know...I know...I posted yesterday, but I'm scheduled for today in reality. (These two a weeks are going to be the death of me... -__- ) Anyways...this next piece is a personal letter to a girl I met some time ago. If it's a bit sappy, you're not crazy, but simply not seeing the purpose. Anyways, here's my scheduled piece for the week. Read on readers.

Dear Audrey,

We floated above the clouds, can you recall?
You lied in my arms.
You looked a wild mess;
     your eyes shined with surprise.
Every bit the damsel I expected
     the year before when I first
          kissed your ruby red lips.
Our feet rejected the ground
     as my will saved you from the crowd.
Lovely, you looked so innocent!
Those three words you spoke...
The tone of each syllable
     matched dangerous colors
          even as I carried you to safety.
"Should we tell them?" you asked,
     yet all I wanted was to keep
          our love my secret.
Even as I kissed you in that painted sky
     we knew the world wouldn't give us peace.
So I spoke so softly, even the air was deaf.
Can you recall?
I whispered,
     "I'll never let you fall."

Alex

As an after-thought, for the past few weeks I've been working with a student-run newspaper called The Pulse. Primarily, the newspaper focueses on political issues, but a few of the lead editors and myself are working on creating a creative writing section for the website's Art section.

If you want to check out the website and read about all the goodness The Pulse has to offer, just click on the link.

If you have any questions about The Pulse, or my writing in general feel free to e-mail me at brinque38@gmail.com. I'm always happy to answer any questions.

Until next week,

Carpe diem et provehito in altum.

The Antidote for School Blues... WINTER BREAK!

Konnichiwa!

So here's the first day that I will be working on my assigned day!

Winter = cuddling season

So to start off, I'm sure you have noticed the new festive background. ;) I made it specfically for the christmas holidays :D! Secondly, the crew have all been following a theme of "happiness" this week, so I'm pushing from my normally gloomly writing and bringing a taste of light-hearted happiness. So here's my post for the week.
--------------------

     I’m lying on my bed; still in my street clothes from the awesome night I had hours earlier. My friends and I had just gone to see Tron Legacy, along with playing in the snow. Tron was easily one of the best movies I have ever seen, but that’s not what made this night stick out. No, it was simply because of one person who made the night first-rate.

     I rolled over in my bed, and spotted a picture in an orange and blue frame. In the photo were me and another girl. The girl who made my night notable. She had long dirty blond hair, which failed to glisten in the light. Her eyes were a cute blue, yet nothing more. Her body didn’t quite have that hourglass figure, but was still attractive to the eye. She didn’t have any exalted talents, yet she was above average at everything she did. She didn’t have the right answer all the time. She is just a normal to everyone else.

      To me however, she saved from my self-inflicted disease. She is my antidote. I may not be the happiest person alive, which may be the reasoning behind my lack of happy thoughts. I always thought that since I couldn’t have the first choice in life, I could never truly be happy. But if she’s the alternative… well then I guess I’ll be sleeping with a happy thought tonight. Now, all I have to is stop thinking long enough to actually sleep…
===============================

So how'd you like it? Check back in on Sunday for an additional post. ;) (hint, hint) Well my friends stay tune for Alex tomorrow, and remember to "Always put Life into Words".
