Excercise #3
Yellow. Daffodils are yellow, and have no smell. My name; it reminds me of yellow. Literally speaking, my last name is yellow. Huynh is spoken in the dialect in Vietnamnese. In Mandarin, it means yellow. Unfortunately, I am not yellow-skinned. Which is not a bad thing. Yellow, it's also the color of the sun. The sun provides us with what we need to live with. It's getting hot in the summer, and no Simon, it's not because of you. The fireworks yesterday were partly yellow, but there weren't that many yellow fireworks. Chicken isn't really yellow, it's more of a tinged brownish color. Yellow fruits. Lemons! Lemons are yellow. I like lemons, especially lemonade. Some kids on the sidewalks sell bad lemonade. I remember in sixth grade there was a game I used to play called lemonade stand where you would try and get people to buy lemonade at ridiculous prices. Gosh, I wonder if that cawing bird is yellow. I don't think so. Yellow birds are rare. Maybe peacocks are yellow, but only the tail feathers. Animals don't usually have bright neon colors as their skin colors. But there are yellow fish! Like Nemo, except that he's orange and white and he's a clownfish. Pencils are yellow. But then there are those funny pencils that are decorated and have funny logos on them like "You're Number 1!" even when you're flunking Algebra. Sticky notes are also yellow. I love sticky notes and how they're stick and you can write stuff on them. The neon green ones are better though.

Chocolate is tasty. Chocolate is also very fattening though. Caffeine? I didn't know that. I only thought that Coca-Cola had caffeine in it. Chocolate is edible and very good. The chocolate of happiness is not a very good metaphor. Chocolate should be associated with tastiness, and not happiness. Although chocolate does give me a lot of happiness when I eat it. I had a cookies and creme chocolate bar that I got from Pat Brown's today. It was ninety nine cents. I thought that I had to pay tax but I didn't have to. I wonder how Hershey's made the chocolate bar white. White chocolate is good, but I'm afraid that there are more chemical pigments in there than dark chocolate or milk chocolate. That would be weird if I turned into a white chocolate. That's Micheal Jackson.

Chocolate reminds you of fat? its i had a cookie, not i had a cookies...dont make fun of michael jackson...THRILLER ROX! Good punctuation and spelling. Your capitalism is good too.

Cookies and creme! I did not eat "cookies" and "creme chocolate bar" but a "cookies and creme chocolate bar." I've never heard Thriller either.

Water is H2O. It is made of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom to make a molecule. I drank water today, and it was inside a dented plastic Arrowhead water bottle. It was one of those weird water bottles with the gigantic dent in the middle of the bottle so that you can hold it more easily. Those were weird when I first saw them, but they're okay now. Although I've come to accept those weird funky water bottles, I still like the other water bottles better, where the water bottle is straight and not really dented at all. If I had a big pail of water, I'd dump it on that annoying bird thats cawing away happily on the roof of this building. Perhaps it's drinking water from the gutters on the roof, but that wouldn't be too sanitary. Gutters are something that have and will always puzzle me. They creep me out for some reason, and I'm scared that when I walk under them that they will fall off and hit me. Then after they hit me and I'm unconscious, then my withering body will hit a withering flower that will desperately need the water inside the gutter. But then because I'm wearing clothes, then the water inside the imaginary gutter that will hit me, and the water inside the gutter will hit my clothes and my clothes will absorb the water that used to be inside the gutter. Then the poor flowers won't be able to get any water because my clothes will be absorbing the water and my unconscious body will smush the withering plants that desperately need water.

Yellow, is a color of a fruit that you can eat. Lemonade comes from lemons, which are yellow, and are very tasty. Chocolate, is also a type of food. Both chocolate and lemonade are both food, although they don't go together very well. Water is another edible food, but it might be more of a drink than food. My connection with water also related more strongly to the subject yellow than chocolate. With yellow, I related to daffodils, which are a type of gorgeous flowers. The withering flowers I described in my rampage about gutters weren't daffodils, thankfully, but a type of poisonous flowers that were blessed by God last week. Despite the fact that chocolate and water don't go as well as water and yellow, or chocolate and yellow, I did find some similarities between them. They're both food.

- blessed by God last week
- rampage about gutters
- smush the withering plants
- cookies and creme chocolate bar

The cookies and creme chocolate bar was blessed by God last week. God had gone on a rampage about gutters because they weren't the correct tinge of rusty brownish red. God ate the delicious cookies and creme chocolate bar while he sat down on a flower bed, not noticing where he was sitting and accidentally smushed a withering plant that was desperately in need of vitamin water.
