Sara Rodriguez-Fiction Piece 5: Memories pulled from a Jar

This is once again an attempt to use the epistolary style of writing. This is supposed to look like a bunch of random memories or just tid-bits of information pulled out at random from a jar. I actually have a jar of random memories and journal entries that I keep which is where this idea came from. I think that I’ll go back later and pull out some memories of my own to add to this entry. I think that it would be fun to pull out memories and mix my reality with my fiction.

Memories found in a Jar

Memos 05 Oct 2006 12:01:01 AM

Things I’ve saved from years past but seem to find no use for.
Maybe someday I will but for right now they'll just sit here like shoes in a closet which are too small to fit you but too big to fit your siblings.
Thoughts keep flowing from my brain but there is nowhere to put them.
They’re so inconsistent and so useless that I don't even know why I bother mentioning them.
Someday they'll serve a purpose but for right now they just get in the way.
Like that song you keep singing that reminds you of a special time and place. It brings you back to your past yet you can't remember exactly why.

You listen to it over and over again and still can't find meaning to it even though your subconscious does.
Lord, why can't I remember? Why can't I know ahead of time?

Why must everything remain concealed until the moment it's needed?
It brings a mystery to life and yet takes enlightenment away....


Religion is… 06 Sep 2007 05:50:05 PM

the ashes of our souls
will burn into the ground
and even though we scream
there will be no sound

the hole of hell will open wide
and those who are full of arrogance and pride
will be swallowed up
their souls and hinds

while those who worship the Lord
will be glorified
they will rise above
and live at rest....

I don't know. I was thinking of all those different religions that we're studying in Mr. Elder’s class and it made me write thing. Now I know now everyone has these views and I respect that. But the point I am trying to get across is that almost every western religion views this as the fate off all mankind....why do you think that is?

Every time I see her face.
Every time I see his face.
I want to barff.
And they haven't done anything to me.
Well not that they can think off.
I haven't seen them in months and still I get this feeling.
Grr.

What the hell is wrong with people?
Just wanted to ask...no one needs to answer.


So Today 19 Sep 2008 9:28:36PM
Today was very interesting.
Everything went so fast.
So many people said so many things.
I got yelled at.
I got my "future told".
I watched/read in cold blood.
I’m watching my back b/c I’m scared.
Not really scared just getting images in my head.
Images of...well yeah. Amber knows.
So now...now...what?
Lace 08 Oct 2007 10:21:21PM
Is starting to get on my nerves. She asks me to tell her sooner when I can't do something b/c then she is left with nothing to do. Okay w/e and she doesn't care that she's done that too me more than 19 times. She talks about ash and how she was ignoring her and not going to shows...but she acts the same way. From now on I’m going to try and go more with Tallman, Autumn and Dave. That way I can go and enjoy myself and don't have to worry about tag-alongs. At times she is worse than my brother...at least he can take a punch!

There is really nothing much I have to say except that today was very interesting.
Also, I want to go bowling with Alek, Janie, Logan, Macy, and various random people. Doesn’t really matter who.
Another thing that’s up is that right now I’m too lazy to get up and do math h/w.
and and...Every time I hear a certain song it reminds me of my trip to Mississippi. Now that wouldn't be so bad if it had all unfolded it the way I wanted it to. But it didn't so that upsets me.
Btw I am now trying to fix my brain b/c it keeps going and thinking things I don't want it to. Amber knows how my head thinks of things.

Confusion is nothing new.

So, yeah...now I want to go outside and start walking and keep walking and never come back.
Like I want to get up and drive downtown and sit on royal with all the pot heads.
Or maybe go and sit next to the Spanish plaza and dip my feet in the water and then run down the river walk.
Or or or...I can go to cafe du monde and get some coffee and then go to Julia street and cruise the art galleries...

goodness I love this city.


Je te adore… 06 Sep 2007 11:03:18 PM

I tried to pick between one option and another
I gave up on the first option thinking that I would do better with the second
but then I tried to give back the second option and work with the first
and then I discovered that I had no options at all
except the third option
which left me with nothing tangible.....
Does this make sense?


I tried to figure you out 06 Sep 207 08:39:24 PM

I tried and tried with all my might
yet all my trying did not a thing
to bring your mind to agreement with mine
I thought I figured you out
but now all I’m left with is doubt........
