not have to be
I’d like to do some
crafts in the greenhouse
mostly illusion close to
mostly illusion close to
no suffocation from air weed
and lastly confusion
leastly how it’ll be
and lastly confusion
leastly how it’ll be
sober delusion
stoner realitytroublesome goose
weather is harder now
we fucked with the earth
The rivers don’t flow as fresh
we filled them with shit
The ocean keeps reminding us
our wings are getting tired of this wind
And happiness
sadness
And happiness
sadness
nothing
except everything
flying home
ahead of the flock
that one troublesome goose
flying home

module 2: writing strategy class notes
The Runny Nose Analogy
You'll be completely stuffed up for 2 days unable to breathe before it starts to run and doesn't stop.
When you're well nothing comes out. But when your sick, it won't stop coming.

The Great Conversation of Humanity
Humanity converses through literature. It is important for writers because even though it is sometimes a one way conversation, conversations can take place completely separate from the original author and his or her time and place.
One conversation: The author is reading things and then commenting on them with her own writing. Another conversation: When she hands in her paper to the teacher and gets it back with marks.
Writing as a Social Activity
Everything you write is for an audience. Everything you write depends on the influence of society. For example, Lindemann quoting Lefevre writes: "Even when writers are acting alone, they are pervasively affected by their relationships to others." The writer receives praise, encouraged to continue.
Creativity is Both Nature and Nurture
Nature means you are genetically predisposed to be creative.
Nurture is the process of capitalizing on your creativity via education, practice, and repetition.
Creativity has no rubric.
The Importance of Revision
Feedback is essential to Nelson's revision process. A writing community fosters feedback.
Writing is recursive.

translation ideas
big ideas:
translation of Amendments 18 and 21 into "50's jazz musician"
Rules:
1. Refer to people as "cats"
2. End phrases with "ya dig?"
3. Always use "gonna" instead of "going to"
4. Use language that "bounces" or "rattles off"
5. Refer to jazz greats by their nicknames or first names
6. always refer negatively to the police
7. break into song at any moment
8. use scat
9. go off on incoherent tangents
50's jazz slang is a combination of AAVE, Hippie, and Stoner.

Amendment 21 - Amendment 18 Repealed. Ratified 12/5/1933. History
1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

potential slang types:
carl sagan slang
"There are in fact 100 billion galaxies, each of which contain something like a 100 billion stars. Think of how many stars, and planets, and kinds of life there may be in this vast and awesome universe."
"We find that we live on an insignificant planet, of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy, tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe, in which there are far more galaxies than people."
"extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence"
"And we, we who embody the local eyes, and ears, and thoughts, and feelings of the cosmos -- we've begun at last to wonder about our origins. Star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of 10 billion billion billion atoms contemplating the evolution of matter -- tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet Earth and, perhaps, throughout the cosmos." -- Carl Sagan
rules to think like carl sagan:
1. use "us" and "we" alot
2. lengthy descriptions (thats us, everyone u love, everyone you know, everyone you every heard of, every this, every that..inventor and explorer, every saint and sinner...etc.)
3. always look at the bigger picture
4. always remind us how small and unimportant we are
5. use scientific terms, for example, refer to us as "our species"
6. rely on hypothetical situations (let's imgaine...
7. be extremely imaginative

Ericmadis53 is right, a lot of these old cats stayed in a chord in a progression a long time, lightnin hopkins even said "lightnin change, when lightnin won't' too."
