Kids These Days

When looking out as the days pass, I really do despise it, not because of what I had chosen but because I no longer have my dog, Duckie to acompany me when I am observing. I really miss him, my he's so ugly he's cute dog.

Although despite my dog, the mystery spider has now dissapeared but I have noticed it web has expanded uncomfortably in the corner where I stand, which proves to me that it is not dead (even though a part of me wishes the spider was gone its larger almost invisible maze still appears new. observation notes 10/8) yet. The sky's unchanging beauty is a relaxing mixture of red that fades to purple, and the pine needles that fall helplessly by the wind and land in my balcony do catch my attention and leave me looking up at the tree. I find the common mountain chickadee as usual and possibly a dove but every time I see it, it reminds me of a pigeon, it has the colors of a dirty gray with a light tan combination and when it flies it's tail and wings spead, and expands to show it's hidden pure white color from underneath. The bird reminds me that there's always there's always beauty hidden underneath. 

Despite the beauty of nature floats above the apartment complexes, the kids that play are always a reminder of childhood, these kids are so full of life, and have little worry of future problems that await them except for maybe future releases of technology that will bring them out of date and wishing they can catch up. Even though they say this generation is robbed from their childhood due to new technology, these kids that are always out and playing prove to me otherwise. They all have some sort connection to each other and no kid is a stranger for to long, it's amazingly rare to see the grass and cement not filled with a child's foot steps, or the reminiscing laughter, cries, and talks. I don't like children in general, especially when I'm looking out, they are weird, gross, funny, small, daring, and annoying, there are so many words to describe them but the more words I can think of, the more there are that describe me and the child that I use to be. Which is why I don't think that they're being robbed, just because I am constantly looking at a screen doesn't mean that everyone else is, I remember watching tv from only three channels, which is consequently why I had played outside so much, but the generation before us has a choice and these kids are choosing to live a life of play, and take their risk because they're still not influenced by our opinions and challenges ahead of them.

An Unknown Creature

As I watch over my balcony, I had always thought that it was going to be pretty weird and boy was I right. These kids that run though the complexes of the apartments play these 'games of dominance without knowing it." (observation notes 9/25) Some shy away and are to scared to ask for chance to fit in, while others are brave enough to take on any bold "dare".

 Some times I wonder what their boundaries are, I try not to pay attention to them because I
want pay attention to the sky, especially the sunset, looking out at the blue sky that slowly fades to orange then lavender, and the clouds, for a moment are a color of pink that makes the sky stand out. The sound of birds chirping and others squawking blocking out the noises coming from the streets. they're small and very common and frustrating, they used to eat my dog's food while he sat around staring at them with hungry eyes.

speaking of animals I remember well, a spider that always happens to be crawling around the corner in which i stand. Its brown and black fuzzy body terrifies me, I wanted my sister to kill it but I figured  would observe that as well.

I honestly wasn't really sure what it was and if its even a spider. It doesn't use it front legs it has them up as if it as going to grab or attack something. When I had tried researching I got the result of a wolf spider but it wasn't nearly as big as what the others look like in the pictures,which scares me more, I dont like to be oblivious to things especially insects.
