Captain Kirk sent Calvin the message by de-magnetized scrabler. The message stated to Calvin of the recent Kling-off invasion of the third moon of Jovan. The message also stated truth, justice, and the United Federation Way. The Kling-offs represented the symbol of eneminess. The slime people of Jovan were in need of help. Calvin readied his strato-cruiser and prepared his favorite meal. Frotos and crasberry bread will be just the nourishment during the long journey at warped-out speeds.



In the West, most people associate the art form of bonsai with Japan. Although most bonsai designed today by Western artists follow the traditional philosophies and techniques for bonsai that have been developed in Japan, the roots of bonsai are in China.



Approximately two thousand years ago, the Chinese literati, men of great wealth and education, would travel from the cities into the countryside to contemplate nature, write poetry, and paint.



They soon discovered that they could also create artistic representations of nature by collecting small trees from the countryside, placing them in pots, and training them to resemble their full-size brethren.



Using wires, weights, and levers, these early bonsai artists created trees that had the look of majestic, old trees that had weathered the extremes of nature and survived.

Writing, Dreaming, Remembering

I wish I didn’t have to write like I do. I wish I would just think in a narrative and the words would form on the paper. Or, at least I wish I could write as fast as I think. So many stories and ideas I think up are left unrecorded. My mind seems to be most active right before I go to sleep. It’s the only time where there’s nothing else I can or should be doing. It’s the only time I don’t have to think of anything, so I’m allowed to think at my own leisure. All of what goes on in my head while I sleep I’ll never be able to record. I seldom remember what I dream. All I can remember is how strange or extraordinary or amazing it was. Even if I do remember, I don’t remember it enough to write it all down. I don’t remember things as they initially were when I thought them up. I will think of something and it will be forgotten, maybe because I think too much. One thought comes after the next, piling up quickly and soon they replace the previous, lost forever.It will probably never be thought of again. There are too many things to think of. My thoughts are story ideas, sayings, analyzing, poems, songs, what I need to do, what I want to do. Thank god for paper or I would never remember anything. Events slip away. I would really have to think if you asked me what I did yesterday. I remember routine, but only because it is routine. The things I do remember, I can’t always remember the order when they happened.
