On my walk it was as if my mind had exploded. The thoughts where coming up left and right, but i never really stuck to one long enough for me to understand when I was thinking about that person/thing/event. In a way, it was such a refreshment from my usual life. All the thoughts I hide away during the day can now be brought to my attention. It aloud me to think so clearly afterword, and the rest of my day was continued with ease.
Romantic writing is "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" Which was exactly what my walk was. So anything that follows this is then considered romantic writing.

Levi commercial (Explained)
the poem is "The laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski
this poem is about being you to your entirety, not bowing down to something bigger then you. This is ironic cause in a way you are bowing down by buying their jeans, which they claim will give you freedom.
OF COURSE this poem reflects Charles Bukowski! This poem has his name written all over it (besides the fact he wrote.) He was a man of the people and he lived as a civilian so what he wrote really touched other, likely for the reason they went through the same thing.

"Aha!" meanings, signs, and symbols
An "Aha" moment for me was from the chimpanzee section in the first article. I can now say with out a doubt that I understand what a sign is. "In bringing (something else) to our minds, signs give meaning to our lives." When I read this it was completely an "aha!" moment. Thought about how we as humans communicate and perceive words or object where now very clear to me and shed some light on little things that I would normally never take the time of day to understand.
