· · ·  Method Via Madness

I have a midterm for my Introduction to Marketing class tomorrow. While I'm hard(ly) at work, I thought it would be interesting to show you how my thought patterns flow:

There are five uncontrollable, environmental factors that are part of the marketing process. To remember these, I think of the environment. Nature. Water. Flowing. Remember that LifeSavers commercial that had the candies swinging in the jungle and on the slopes of Antarctica? I take the latter vision of the icy lands and convert it to Certs. They're white with a blue center and resemble icy cold lands where the environment is issue number one.

Certs, therefore, deal with the environment. CERTS. Competitive, Economic, Regulatory, Technological and Social.

Bring it.

· · ·  A Ninety-Nine State Of Mind

on and on and on and on

i stared at her as she spoke on about him. earlier (months ago), when i had asked her simply "has there been anyone you think you've fallen in love with or were quite close to being in love with?" she had answered with his name. today, she once again brought him up. apparently she spoke to him last night about his life, his plans, his future and whatnot. you could see her eyes sparkle, light up, her cheeks get mellower, her eyebrows relieve themselves, her lips implicate joyous implications.

what she spoke of him during class was not enough. when we took our usual walk through the halls as we do everyday, she continued speaking of him. it made me happy and sad and joyous and melancholy all at once seeing her speak of him. it was as if this aphroditic beauty was flying out of my weakened reach and into the arms of her herculean prince.

we talked about fate one night until dawn. we talked about how it would be to know that the person you might be searching for all your life may just be in front of you all the while.

this afternoon, i happened to come across a thought: maybe she is suited for him, and he for her.

maybe it was always meant to be.

yea, like the beat goes on

on and on and on and on --> halcyonic stylee
