As Perry walks thinking to himself about what just happened a lady jumps out of her car and yells Michael’s name. It was Perry’s girlfriend from high school; she jumps on him and gives him a big hug. In one moment Perry recalls a random night that he would never have thought about if it wasn’t for him remembering the smell of her “spearmint kisses.” No words were needed to be said, all it took was his nostrils inhaling the sweet smell of her fresh breath and the memories flashed through his head. Being a paramedic, nurse, and firefighter, Perry tells some stories that are very sad and seems to put him into a lower mood. Some of the
When eating the pineapple, it melted in our mouths and exploded with brilliant flavors. After eating breakfast, we took a tour of the hotel’s marvelous sites. In the middle of the hotel stood an immense, beautiful waterfall. Draping the tranquil flowing water were enormous palm trees standing on each side like Roman slaves waving palms to cool off their master. Also in the hotel were two energetic, talking parrots with bright, vivid colors of blue and red on one and charcoal grey, green, and yellow on the other.

As I handed my ticket to the middle age man with his recent receding hair line, another man smiled and said “welcome to the ball park” in a ear piercing voice. I proceed onward stumbling through the waves of team accessories realizing that I stuck out like a sore thumb wearing only neutral colors. The aroma of ball park food hit my nostrils like a car crashing in to a wall. The food ranges from hot dogs to cotton candy, Nachos to cola anything you can think of the ball park had it. After nearly drowning in a sea of fans, families and Television workers I finally made it to my seat directly across from third base.

Positive Effect It was beautiful day sitting in the courtyard on this summer afternoon. There was a warm gentle breeze in which the nearby palm tree waved in the wind, the sound of students as they hurried past on there way to and from class, and some birds playfully chip in the Oak tree I sat beneath. I couldn’t help notice a plane passing in the almost cloudless sky, and thinking how it must look from up there on a day like today. Two attractive young women sit on a bench in the shade gossiping about today’s latest news, and giggling every few seconds. An older man with gray hair stands against the wall discussing on a cell phone what to have for dinner, and in the background the hushed sound of crickets twittering was almost most calming.

I remember looking down into the water and seeing a crab nestled on a rock. There were Buskers playing piano accordions, and the music followed us as we walked down the boardwalk. It was the perfect day to visit the ocean for the first time. The city is surrounded by tall, thick, green trees; slowly changing color to yellow and orange. As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping.
