#4- Life in a snowbound cabin
It's day 250 stuck in this cabin. I think the walls are starting to close in. It's very white outside, I haven't seen outside in over a week. I am almost out canned food. The water well is frozen over. At least my food in the ice chest is staying cold. I have fashioned a hunting bow out of a stick and some string I found. I am using my knife blade to make the arrows sharp. I am planning on going hunting for a deer or maybe a moose. I need some meat to eat and the fur will make me a nice coat and maybe a blanket too. It's very cold in this cabin too. I need to go venture out and get some firewood as well. I have a little stack left but need to dry out some more wood. I wish I had a telephone, I would call someone, being stuck in this cabin by myself is kind of boring. I keep winning at chess. Murphy my dog isn't much company, he's pretty lazy and naps all the time. I will find a way out one day, a way off of this mountain and find civilization again. If it ever stops snowing.

#5- Write a letter to your landlord.
Dear Landlord,
 I am the tennant in apartment 76. I wanted to write to you so you would address some issues. First there is a strange odor coming from across the hall, from apartment 79.  It smells like stinky old socks and it is quite strong. I haven't seen the little old lady come out of there in a few days. I knocked, but she did not answer. So I believe she is not home, but I would like you to please address the odor. Everytime I walk by her apartment, it just wafts out from under the door. Secondly, the garbage room is over filled, I think the garbage men are on strike but that doesn't mean you can't take care of it. It's quite gross, all the old pizza boxes and bag upon bag of garbage. It's time to invest in a new system of disposing of garbage. Maybe relocating the garbage room. Thirdly, The little boy who lives in apartment 12 was trying to sell chocolates door to door. After closer inspection I discovered these are not at all chocolates, but I believe they come from the resident cat you have living in the foyer downstairs. Could you please get rid of that cat so the little boy stops profiting from his "chocolate" sales. And lastly, there is a man living in the laundry room, I don't believe he is paying rent and he is kind of creepy looking. He keeps asking if I have anything that he can sell and for some reason many residents are complaining that clothes and laundry soap are disappearing. Could you please kindly evict him since I believe he isn't paying rent.
Sincerley, the tennant in apartment 76

#4- You are an astronaut. Describe your perfect day.

Being an astronaut is hard work, everyone thinks I just float around and do flips and twirls in space. Well that isn't the case. That isn't a perfect day for me. The perfect day for me would be laying on a beach somewhere, staring up at the sky, knowing I have flown higher and farther than the blue sky stretches. That I have encountered little green space men running around the busy planet. That I have collected thousands and thousands of samples from different planets. The perfect day would just to be lay there and watch the ocean and look forward to the next adventure when I fly into space.
Being an astronaut is hard work, people just think I sit back and let the spaceship fly into space. It takes lots and lots of energy to put a trip to space together, hours and hours of countless training. I would much rather just sit and do nothing on my perfect day.

after a long hiatus...I'm back...

So I have a new wind if you may....a new perspective on how to keep this blog alive...finally! After months and months of empty promises...yada yada yada...that my blog would come back. I finally have taken the time to make it come alive...so I went to chapters today and picked up a book. "642 things to write about." Now I started writing in it and after sometime have realized I am completely writing it in wrong. So I figured why not write the internet blog version of it...I will continue to write in the paper version now that I know I can completely make stuff up and it doesnt have to directly correlate with my life. Isn't that what writing is about? Fiction, non fiction? I am excited to introduce to you: 642 things to write about....the blog version...

Topic #1- what can happen in a second?
What can happen in a second, thats a very interesting question. I think in a second I could be in love, I could be out of love. I could be happy, I could be sad. I could be rich, I could be poor. I could be breathing or I could be on my last breath. I could be an influence postively or negatively on someone. In a second your life can change, you never know what the next second may bring.

Topic #2- A houseplant is dying, tell it why it needs to live.
You need to live, you really can't die on me. Far to many plants die on me. I kill plants actually. I dont think many plants live the life you have lived (inside my house). I need you to stay alive because your leaves are green and pretty and it would look bad if I had a dead houseplant in the corner of the room. I probably would just toss you out with the trash then if you died and replace you with a brand new plant. So you should try to live, so I dont have to replace you.
