When I have a bad day I go to Target, a.k.a the holy mecca of America. I 've loved Target ever since I was a little girl. Some people like costco or even walmart, but I am a Target fan hands down. When I got my first car, my target trips became much more frequent. I 'd spend hours just walking up and down the aisles, admiring everything the store has to offer. I 'm not sure if I can even explain how much it means to me. Not only do I go when I 'm having a bad day, I 'll go when I am having a great day, or even an okay day. I go when I need to kill time or even to avoid other things I don 't want to do. I 'll go to see the new home decor for the upcoming season, smell the different candles there, feel how soft the quilts are, walk past the CD’s to remind myself that it 's not the 90’s anymore and I shouldn 't buy more CD’s, I 'll head over two aisle down and look at the cook books to convince myself that i 'm …show more content…

Infact so many people feel trapped in Albuquerque, the people that live here changed the slogan of the city from “The Land of Enchantment” to “The Land of Entrapment.” Don 't get me wrong I love where I am from and I think it is beautiful here. Growing up here has made me who I am today. I 've grown to appreciate the stunning sunsets that happen every night, the amazing weather, driving and seeing the trees along the river turn more orange each day in the fall, seeing the Sandia Mountains when I wake up in the morning, and of course the wide variety of targets in this city. Being raised in Albuquerque has taught me to make the most of everything and appreciate the

Dusk had come, silent, ceremonious, which brought her painful but pleasant memories in the diminishing light. Her shaking hands and arthritic fingers from the passing of time were holding the record player’s metal arm. The stylus hopped, moving lightly and quickly over damaged grooves from excessive use, landing very deep in the vinyl recording. She attempted again, one of her hands embracing the other, to the point where the overture’s rewarding hop and crepitation signified the precise spot. The incongruous speakers passed a faint melody of music.

The worn brass saxophone buzzed with arcane energy as I picked it up for the first time. Verdigris and rust crept out from underneath the joints binding the horn together and pockmarked the body of the instrument. Dark pits and long, deep scratches, like scars on a battleworn samurai of the Yamaha clan, covered the keys. The lacquer had been stripped off the body of the horn, but not the keywork, which created an odd, slightly unsettling contrast between the matte and shiny finishes. I almost thought that a vigorous rub would cause a genie to unfurl from the bell.

The glossy white surface of the boat is blinding because of the reflection from the early evening sun.
