Tatau(Polynesian Meaning)
I can't blame the news for theft, murder, or death Just like I can't expect life to understand I can't expect honey from vinegar and wishing for gold alchemy will never make me rich Being sick takes on new meaning when you're sick and tired Just as being lost is scary with no direction or sense Alone is worse, until it's like a leveled level between good and bad Trust is that luxury to ignore until poor Mirrors are there to remind us who is responsible

The Conceptual Planet: Into Outer Space-Micah's Story
Days blend and continue on undisturbed for the most part. There is a lot of waiting in between workouts and eating. There is one repair we are working on. Other than the repair it's all monitoring and stand by. Monotony feels more tirtiring than his workouts and work. Days ends come around and sleep is attempted. We all are adjusting and have interacted minimally so far. We seem humbled by our surroundings and task. Sutton is the crew member easiest to be around. Today passes uneventfully. Sleep comes after counting to around 89. Probably out of boredom and a desire to stop counting.

The Conceptual Planet: Into Outer Space-Micah's Story
We are all fallen flowers. Fallen flowers on a street. Have you ever walked through beautiful fallen flowers. It feels almost royal. To be amongst them. So much beauty. So much life. Then you return after a few days to the decaying remains. Brown and dead remnants of beauty lost to time. The inevitable aging until no flower is recognizable as it once was, as even a flower. Its past beauty a memory. It exists if you look with appreciation. This is everything's fate. The fate, once plucked from the original plant. The process may be longer or shorter for some, with no explanation. Inevitability is inevitable. We are all fallen flowers. 15 years, is what I have to accomplish what I need to. After that, I'll become an observer of everything that is the future.

Conviction
The movie 'Conviction' is quite a movie. Sam Rockwell, Hilary Swank, and Minnie Driver create compelling characters to watch. They form believable onscreen relationships. Due to the content of the film I will withhold a black and white analysis of good and bad. The acting is fantastic, the story compelling, the real life implications heart wrenching. The story is successes hiding in a tragedy. The injustice is maddening and at times as a viewer you want to give up, but seeing how Betty doesn't, you somehow can't.

Bunny Hop Hop
The sign reads: Handmade, A locally made product. The price reflects these two factors. A beautifully painted ornament hangs on a branch just beyond the sign. The ornament depicts a holiday scene outside of a house that happens to look like her childhood home. The family is playing in the blankets of snow. A sunset is just starting, shown by the presence of sky blue still being present with slight tints of pink, purple, and orange behind the silhouettes.Wendy could almost picture it already on her parents tree amongst the other ornaments. Each ornament adorning her parents tree was a gift, or purchased from a trip, or representing some special moment. The Christmas tree was more than just a decoration. It was a patchwork of their lives together. The tree was a photo album, of sorts, of years passed. The problem was purchasing the ornament without being seen and without being suspected of shoplifting. Of course the ornament was a one of a kind, which added a bit of anxiety around putting it back. It's not that the others were bad, but they felt lacking next to this one. She heard footsteps approaching behind her. Wendy shoved the ornament under the tree, hoping it was hidden and out of sight.
