Intro and the Stillness of the Snow

If you didnt notice, i changed this up a bit. I was looking for something to do and figured id continue this. I got the idea of awesome things when i stumbled across a website that listed 1000 awesome things and thought it was a good idea.

A while back, i was either walking to class, or to meet some friends for lunch, and it was one of the first snows of the season. I was walking beside duckpond, behind triv-nasty watching the snow fall (theres not a whole lot prettier than falling snow) and it hit me that it was completely silent and still. Even though there were a few other people on the sidewalk walking, you couldnt hear a sound, except for the occasional car passing. It was incredible. I dont know what it was about that day, but i was astounded. I dont know what it is about snow, but when its falling, everything is so peaceful, still, and quiet. You can go outside and it seems like the world stops along beside you and enjoys the snow falling. its immaculate.
