On a better note...

So I tried to understand why the phrase was, 'good night's rest' and I found that one could simple explain this stating that there are good nights and bad nights, each having either good or bad rest.  Or how my boyfriend explained it was that the rest that you obtained from the night which was personified in a way... but then we began arguing about the different ways that one might perceive the rest and the night.  Take for example, Father's Day.  My boyfriend believes that Father's Day is possessive because the day belongs to his Father and each individual only has one true biological father, therefore the day belongs to your father.  But I believe that it depends on how you perceive the holiday, such as the day belonging to all fathers (Fathers Day), the day belong to your father (Father's Day), or the day belonging to multiple fathers (Fathers' Day)... I mean each of them are correct in a literary sense right?  I'm not sure why I'm asking you, the reader, but I thought it was fascinating because I have never brought myself to understand fully the variation in possessive forms.  You learn one thing and you think of it as the only truth... or perhaps that is my generation... if that makes any sense at all.

I still have quite an awful time simplifying my thoughts... in an English 121 course last semester, my professor always blamed me for 'smartenizing' everything that I had to say or write.  After thinking more about it, I fully agree with my professor because to be quite honest, I have nothing profound to say... ever... and most of what I do say (of which contains any coherent thoughts) can be summarized in short and simple sentences.  So why is it that I have to constantly subject my friends, family, boyfriend to my long and perhaps agonizing monologues?  I really don't know.  Maybe I feel like if I don't, people will think I'm stupid.  Or maybe that I think if I use fancy words that people will think I'm smart when I'm really just pulling out the flashy bells and bingbobs or whatever the saying is.  But whatever the reason is, I cannot neglect the fact that whatever it is that I'm doing has helped me build my vocabulary!

There was something that I wanted to write about today, but alas it is 7:24pm and I have homework to do :(  Until tomorrow!
