This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.
– Gary Provost, quoted in Roy Peter Clark’s Writing ToolsWe drank together, we laughed together, we even hooked up with each other and it wasn’t awkward. We are the originals and I’m sorry to say you will never be like us. We had Cho Gao nights, kick back session at State, jamming sessions etc. We knew everyone and we welcome anyone. Heck we even made Cloud 9 one of the best parties of this year. But good things had to come to an end, or maybe this is just a break. I miss you City Group.
P.S If you weren’t in any of the photos either that means you weren’t in our group or I haven’t taken a photo of you in our group outings. But if I saw you regulary and I always give you a hug every time I see you that means you were in the group.
Ahh memories. I think I’m starting to tear up. D:

Leadershit.
Everyone wants to be a sheperd, but sometimes, especially when you lack some, or most of the characteristics that a leader needs, it’s best for the group if you stay a sheep.
You need to be brave, but not too confident, you need to be smart, you need to be inspring and you need to show initiative. You also need to know when to tell people to be quiet, or for yourself to shut the fuck up.

What a well layed out rant. Did you know there is a person who fits all of the above criteria? Bitch.
You’re never too grown up to miss and hug her.
Some people take their mothers for granted, but along with everything else, you never know what you’ve got, ‘till it’s gone. The unconditional love that a mother gives, no matter what you’ve done, the sanctuary she provides.
“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”
Show her you love her today, because she might not be here tomorrow.
I never knew Americans were so stupid.

Here are a random assortment of quotes from your everyday Americans.
“How many Eiffel Towers are there in Paris?”
“I’d say about ten.”

“Four?” (another woman) “There are no sides…one?”
”What religion are buddhist monks?”
“Islamic? I don’t know.”
“What are Hiroshima and Nagasaki famous for?”
“Uh…..judo-wrestling?”

Before the first time, feel like I done found a way out.
