College Writing

I felt since far too long has passed since I posted something of at least some meaning, that I would give a crack at some school work to pass the time, until I can regain a steady flow of though again.

This paper was written without using the following word(assuming I didn't miss any instances): is, am, are, was, were, be, been, it, thing, get, gets, got, gots, goes

The highlighted words are weaved and connecting sentences(or at least supposed to)

So without further a do(mind the error in transition around the middle, that is not supposed to be highlighted):

Sailor’s Integral Command
Ascribing a concrete integral definition to sailing presents an enigma. Sailing encompasses an ancient skill that spans back to some of the earliest men. That very skill, born out of navigation needs of the time and evolved accordingly. The skill and my love for the subject evolve far too broadly to ascribe solid concepts. Sailing bears little evolution of concept, historically amid growing technology. The practice has fundamentally remained unchanged throughout the historical lifespan, other than advancements in knowledge of mechanics.
Sailing knowledgably would come about pegged by most as a hobby being that not many professional options for employment exist. This notion further informed by professional organizations such as the Heart of sailing foundation which spends time informing others about sailing and such respective merits. Magazines such as Sail Magazine, including at times National Geographic also do quite a bit inform readers.
An object or idea being said to posses integrity or appear integral implies necessity. The integrity or integral parts of modern computer hardware for example partake the following subjects: mathematics relating to geometric concepts and arithmetic’s, and sciences relating to hardware material. Whatever the subject, integrity presents success or failure relating to the “big picture”. Imagine trying to attempt successful medicinal tasks without the fields of biology or sister fields. The task would appear daunting, even if standard. No one picks and chooses; standards being the reason. Many reasonably backed fields navigate as such.
 The integral structure of sailing and practice go hand in hand. Professional’s community website A-B-C of Sailing suggests: “Navigation seems to be a complicated subject, but you just need to understand the basics.” Recommendations would follow a miniscule complication path; such as the knowledge of terms, navigation tools, beacons and buoyancy devices, and pilotage. While true that these appear as standard terms within the field, at the same time one has difficulty. The wind for example, appears necessary if you plan to go sailing, but remains difficult to master. The Yachting organization of Western Australia approaches hands on fundamental to mastery with the fields of: rigging, practice sessions, close hauling, how to jibe, and towing procedures. These two sites slowly introduce a universal “practice makes perfect” method. These methods remain mandatory. Without this mandate, one cannot sail. To sail reveals a single universal. That universal appears as adaptation. Adaptations do not mold the concept nor skill, but the practitioner.
Such molding of the sailor while sailing hopefully leads into integral consistency. Not all conditions in sailing become consistent with expectation. Thus nothing presents a situation expectantly to similarly reflect past experience. Instead, experiences should serve as a tool for the future. Many can demand from many futures, but few shall receive. Although receiving appears great, that signals no reason to stagnate.
I hope to refute stagnation and push only for growth. The path of growing largely does present opportunities for abstract application. These abstract lessons include what I someday hope will teach me lessons far beyond the reach of a boat. Teaching ensures the passing of such knowledge towards forward disciples who may yet utilize these concepts in ways I could not.

Blog Color choice: Scientific Good

Other than the obvious reason of choosing the "Awesome" design pallet for the blog, I'd thought I would narrow down a more definitive reason for doing so. It is a beneficial one at that, and one that I'm sure some people will come to appreciate. Indeed, the dark color pallet was not chosen for personality or some abstract reason, but in actuality for a common good among viewers. Allow me to explain a bit on the situation.

The dark color pallet is easy on the eyes for one. The harsh contrast presented by white reflective LCD screens tends to strain the eyes, especially as the day winds down, at which some readers or friends tend to access such. The darkness is itself working with you to make the experience smoother. Even in broad daylight a darker screen isn't so much a bad one on reading, though experience may vary I'll admit on position on the globe.

It's not to say that other sites using the overtly white design are bad, far from it, but that I find the darker color more inclusive and something to relax a person, in light of it's other changes. In hopes of continuing that experience I will leave to color be. I know some people(myself included) do spend times of the day revisiting sites, even in near darkness. This is among my shorter posts due to the brief explanation of the circumstance and something I felt I had to share.

I hope my reasoning suits well with a like of the design. If not, then I apologize and may well look into an alternative blend for future reference. Feedback is appreciated on the design, and if your some sort of art dictator who will tear a person to shreds over simple mistakes...I wouldn't mind hearing from you either. =)
