The Tower Formerly Known as Sears

A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.

knowing

I love you without knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you simply without problems or pride,
i love you in this way because i do not know any other of loving but this,
In which there is no I or you,
So intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
So intimate that when i fall asleep
your eyes close.

....knowing

what a lovely message

Not knowing

It's the opposite of knowing. Do you no what knowing is? If not, that's not knowing.

I was forced to watch Twilight, not knowing the incredible lack of plot, character development, or anything that would make a good story
