Thoughts

I'm sitting here listening to John Lennon, while going through old photos and just thinking. About nothing in particular, i just haven't really had time to myself in a while. It's nice, and i miss it. I'm always there for everyone, and never for myself. I'm also just now realizing, that i haven't eaten in two days.

Now I'm looking out the window, still hearing the faint sounds of Lennon's soothing voice behind me. As i gaze upon the crisp autumn day, it brings back memories. It has always been my favorite season. I remember how captivating it was, back when i used to view the world with such innocent eyes. I would look out the half cracked window in the backseat of the car, while driving down the open dirt road, on the way to my grandparents house. All i could think about was how the trees looked like fire and the grass looked like gold. My eyes would be glued to that window in hopes to see a doe and her fawn roaming through the grass. Then once we arrive, i would form a pile of leaves and jump throughout them. I sort of want to do that again, the leaves thing. Just be free and play like a used to.

In a few weeks, i might be going to one of my favorite places. The cider mill, i know this sounds a bit childish. But, its the one place that catches the true essence of autumn. We take strolls down the path that is colored with orange, yellow and red, due to the fallen leaves. To the right is a little river. Where you can see leaves floating so freely, when i was younger i thought of them as boats for the little bugs to ride on. Then, when you're feeling a bit chilly. You walk into the little shop thats filled with the aromas of cinnamon and apples. You get a nice fresh cup of cider and a warm cinnamon donut and reminisce about the amazing day you had and past visits.

Alien encounters

It's amazing what an over active imagination and sleep deprivation can do to ones mind. My night consisted of ghost shows on SyFy and alien stories on the internet. This is nothing new, I love ghosts and aliens... But something was different this time. It started around 11 pm and continued until about 3 am. Keep in mind that I have been awake since 10 the previous morning. Well around 4:30 am the house was still and silent, everyone was asleep, and the only light was the little one attached to a book I was reading at the time. I start to hear a very high pitched sound coming from outside, at first I thought nothing of it. Then I heard the leaves rustling around, this is when it started. My mind was trying to think of a logical reason for the noise, one that wouldn't cause me to have to investigate. After a few minutes pass, I somehow talked myself into believing there was an alien spacecraft outside my house. That's not the worse part, I actually got up and made sure all the windows and the door was secure. Then I went in the living room, I noticed I could slightly see outside one of the windows and became a bit paranoid. I was afraid that maybe, just maybe I would see an alien.. you know, big head little body with huge eyes. My craziness faded after about an hour. To top it all off, I couldn't fall asleep until either my mother or brother woke up. That wasn't until around 9 am, now I cant help but to laugh at it. I'm not the type of person to get scared by things like this, it was definitely shocking.
