WOO-HOO! July 22, 2008

 

 

 

     DO NOT SLEEP WITH CONTACTS!  

 

  Seriously, just don’t I am learning the hard way the reasons why you DON’T sleep with contacts. Don’t think it won’t happen to you! I have been wearing contacts for almost four years now. NOT a good idea, you can a scratch cornea, or worse an ucler! http://www.citybeachvet.com.au/HealthyPets/Dog_Corneal_Ulcer_clip_image002.jpg     They are not fun!

 

 

  Okay, so I have a very odd interest into the things that people should know but aren’t aware of. I don’t know what other people are interested in, there is too much out there to know everything. But, I enjoy reading like medical stuff. The reason why whatever it is happened, if it is preventable. I find the human body mind blowing, and the things it can do. And my lovely Uncle Pete helps me when I have a question about anything related to the medical field. Seriously, I think it should be mandatory to learn about the human body in school. I mean, not the stuff that they force you to watch in middle school about puberty, but more about the whole anatomy.

  Anyways, if your looking for something cool, or interesting, you don’t have to look far I mean our anatomy is something we should know more about, because it is actually useful.

  Does this mean I want to become a doctor or nurse? No not really, I don’t think I could  be able to be a doctor or nurse, to stressful.

 

   My week has been so crazy, and when I think about it, I barely did do anything. I did find that I like Stacy’s Parmesan Garlic & Herb Pita Chips. They are really good, and not filled with grease and does NOT have Corn syrup! Also, Corn syrup, tells yours brain that you are still hungry which makes you eat more, when really you don’t need to eat more.

 

  Go organic I tell you! It will be the best thing for you, and LADIES cut make with all the war paint! It has so much stuff in it that really shouldn’t be on your face. Also, people who drink a lot of soda, don’t no drink was meant to have bubbles, it tears your teeth apart. If you think juice is safe as well, it is not, all the sugar and natural acid in that will tear your teeth as well. Drink water, it seriously does more then keep you hydrated. The more water you drink the better your skin will look, so then for all the ladies, you don’t have to put base “foundation” on since your skin is cleared for all that water.

 

   It seriously concerns me when seeing all these young kids drinking soda, eating candy, not going outside. If your afraid your kid is going to get kidnapped in front of your house, go to a park, or something. Get their little butts off the couch stop the video game, take them outside. The sun gives our body a high amount of vitamin D, vitamin D helps burn fat.

 

   Oh yeah, I have no clue what has gotten me on this healthy organic ramped today. But good health is always a good concern. Its sad to think that we let our kids get obese. We as a society have gotten so lazy that we find quick easy ways to get what we want. Like keeping the big pot of food in front of us while we eat. We will keep eating until our plate has nothing left on it, but if we have more food in front of us, we are susceptible for eating more then you should. I know if you live on your own you might get stuck in the habit of ordering out and not wanting to cook a meal, when Pizza Hut delivers and its only 30 minutes, and five dollars. What is a bad habit I have gotten into, is when my family isn’t around, I don’t want to eat, I will not eat at all. I will eat when it sounds like a gremlin inside of me about to bust out, and when I do its like cereal, or cheese and bread. Thats not good as well. 

 

  So to all my readers reading, eat healthy, live well, and your body will preform better!

Everything BUT Apple Pie July 18, 2008

<-right MarBear, Middle ME, Left Tater TOTS *ha, that is also by birth order as well.*

 

Clearly in the picture we are at the market, looking very ridiculous, but having way to much fun.

 

 So I haven’t been writing in my blogs lately, I hope you guys didn’t miss me!

 

 I have come to a conclusion that life is one big countdown clock, so we need little countdown clocks before the big one runs out. I have made myself one, I think everyone should as well.

 

  Okay….so to keep you guys up to date I will give you the download, the 411, FYI! This Summer, has been very different from a typical Summer, but has been one of the most memorable Summers yet! Even though every Summer I think of Congress and miss it very much, even all the crazy hours, those extremely hot showers, extremely cold dorms with out a blanket, the experience of full independence for one full week, having pedometers flushed down toilets, getting lost in a University (which might be a University I might go to never know) oh and how can I forget the crazy insane turtle neck 19 year old guy from Manatee County that asked me out to the ball?! HAHAHA! Poor guy, got kicked out the last day! If you wonder why he got kicked out, its because almost every girl from the whole state complained about him being a nuisance. Good times! I KNOW only one person who might read this will know exactly what I am talking about.  

 But this Summer has been very memorable in so many ways.

  Soon I will be going on vacation to St. Pete and Madeira Beach. Two whole weeks of fun in the sun, and sunburn. I will have to remind myself to bring the BIG bottle of Na-PCA! I am excited for that, like I haven’t been on vacation because I had family members ill and in the hospital in such a long time. It will be nice to be away with no parents, and just kind of relax and not worry or stress about anything. Plus it helps that I am going with the BIGGEST clowns I know, my favorite uncle, UNCLE PETE (he is my favorite because he is my only uncle. Well I think he would still be my favorite if I had hundreds of uncles.) my Aunt, Ms. Martha who is really like my second mom/friend/a really cool and nice person to be with, and last but not least my cousin Chik-pik. My uncle has already said to get ready for the Shake Shop, awesome! I went with them a little while back for the weekend. I am so thrilled! Slightly bummed that we can’t go to North Carolina as well, but its still going to be FUN! Although I will miss my baby Marabelle`, D, my Internet and everything in between. So next week today I will be gone! YAY!

 

  Oh MY I heard that Coldplay is coming in town in November close to my birthday if I am correct. I so want to go, but know that I won’t go. So instead I will just buy their CD close my eyes and imagine them in concert. How pathetic is that? I absolutely LOVE the new CD Viva La Vida. I can’t name one song off that whole CD I don’t like. Lovers In Japan/Reign of Fire is one that I am listening to now, oh to see it in concert would be like the coolest thing EVER!

 

  Also…..FLCT has My Fair Lady auditions coming soon. It would be so nice to audition for the heck of it, not take it as serious as I have before. That would be funny, audition just because its something you enjoy and not really care if you make it or not. That would be the time where I actually would make the cut and not be someone in the background or a cover for someone. Ah, but it includes singing, that is where I know I would run into some problems. I don’t like to sing, specially in front of people. Oh well, I guess I will just go and see it when it comes out in production. Now I have My Fair Lady songs stuck in my head! So whoever lives in South Florida look up FLCT.org and go try out. It seriously is something you have to do at least once in your life time, the experience alone is amazing! Well, maybe if they happen to do Thoroughly Modern Millie any time soon then I will have to try out, because that is like a musical you don’t hear much about but is so funny, and portrays the 40’s if I am not mistaken. I could go on about how much fun FLCT was.

 

  Unfortunately it is getting late and I should be getting to bed now! So please if you see my grammar becoming poor, understand it is late and I am tired. Well Good night everyone. Thanks for reading again, even though it is absolutely nothing of importance, I hope I filled up some time! I will be writing soon!

 

Song for today’s blog……….”Through Open Eyes” by Snow Patrol

Ha, I tricked you if you thought it was going to be Coldplay! Not this time!

Another Rant By The Hippie! May 24, 2008

<-D

 

  “You can do no great things, just small things with great love.” – Mother Theresa

 

  ^ That quote is now my personal motto. I believe that is so true, Mother Theresa is truly an inspiration for me. If I had to choose a modern role model, it would be her. She was just a kind gentle hearted person who loved so many, and helped so many. It is something I can only live up to and strive to achieve. Maybe this is reason number two the Peace Corps is something that really is in my upcoming future.  Like Kennedy said “Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I think if you just revive it and make it do not ask others what they can do for you, but what you can do for others.

 

  Maybe if we all tried to live by that statement, maybe this world might have a better future. We might not see the change while we are alive, but there might be a change for our grandchildren. Some of us are way to young to even think about grandchildren let alone our own children. This is important, more important then “Global Warming” instead of trying to save the earth, maybe we should think the earth will long be here after us, but stop and realize that we should start help saving peoples lives who are dieing from phamon and pleagues around the world.

 

  Yes, going green is a nice thing to try to do, but it is so ridiculous how people won’t use plastic bags, but buy products that have plastic. So if you want to be hardcore, live under a rock. But if you wanna be with the cool crowd and where shirts for organizations you probably don’t even know about, and walk around with peace signs, fine. But if you actually do care, maybe take the 30 dollars you would spend for the WWF shirt (that only $10 of the 30 even goes to the organization) and actually donate it to a cause that you trulydo believe in. If you think that is crazy and you would never spend 30 dollars on a shirt and want to make a difference. I challenge you to do simple things, like go to the mall and don’t buy anything. Since that shirt, is probably not organic and some kind of chemicals were used to make the fabric and dye it and then oil was used to power the machines that made it, and it probably is not even made in America.  Another simple thing you can do is don’t drink anything but water, everything else is held in a metal can that is being found that is bad for our bodies *check your deodorant* if it isn’t in a can it is in a bottle. It takes at least a few hundred years for one bottle (12 oz.) to deterred. Also, get up off your lazy bum and walk, or ride a bike, and maybe oh my, you might get in shape and do your heart good.

 

  Okay, I can continue with that topic. But I won’t, YAY for enviromental science! I would have never even thought of myself getting into a science as a career, because every time I thought of scientists I would think of that song “Blinding Me With Science” and the movie “Flubber”.  Okay, maybe Mother Theresa wasn’t passionate about the enviroment, but she was passionate about people. She showed compassion and love to people where it was most likely not to be found, Calcuta, India.

 

  Okay, so if you read this blog, I know one person reads my blogs. That’s all that matters because I like listening to their opinion, because it is similar to mine, but can still be different. Whoever this person is, is someone that I think fondly of, and you know who you are. Someone that actually reads my blogs, and listens to me complain about my day and other things. They are a true and good friend, that I am grateful to have them in my life. So if your reading this blog and like it leave a comment, because they are always welcomed, positive and negative feedback always make my day. *this goes for anyone reading*

 

Hopefully it wasn’t just a bunch of rambleings written down on the net.

 

Okay my lovely readers, you should know what time this is, yup this is where I tell you about cool songs, and you go and listen to them. Because you are cool like that!……….

….NEW! by Coldplay *big fan of them, if you have tickets to their concert don’t forget about your lovely blogger, send me a ticket as well* 

 …………”Viva la Vida” by Coldplay…..(yeah i have more then one this time!)

…………”Adia” (I personally LOVE that name! It is so pretty.) by: Sarah McLachlan..

Thanks for reading, if it is reading your first time or if it is you hundredth time.

?????? bored May 20, 2008

  Yeah, I do not know how to play video games. Specially if they aren’t racing games. The picture is courtesy of my cousin Nicky, he just was getting “pay back” because I always bug him with pictures.

 

  Going down to my aunt and uncle’s place this Sunday again! YAY! That place is the bomb! The other weekend my cousin and I were watching “The Reaping” Sadly I had to leave right when it was getting good. My cousin and I never can watch a movie fully in silence, if it isn’t me asking questions to him, or vise versa, or him grabbing me when a movie comes to a scary part. That reminds me, I need to ask my dad if I can go to North Carolina with my aunt, uncle, and cousin for the summer for a week or so. That is just a recipe for crazy insane good times, probably alot of pillow fights, and trying to do morse code with flash lights. Hopefully I can go, I really want to, but I have to ask me dad.

 

  Well, as you can tell from this blog. I am really bored! Okay, now I am off to surf the net, skype, and maybe do some of my chores! Adios!

Love Like You Have Never Loved Before, Live Like Every Breath Is Your Last One, & Dance Like Nobody Is Watching! May 20, 2008

   Why is that certain music can bring you back to a certain time or point in your life? Some times when you are living that one specific moment, you don’t realize that you will never forget that time in your life. Those moments are in-bedded into our memory, life is not one big story, but it is all the little stories in the one big story that you call life.

 

Stories are to be made into books, that people will read; from the first minute you are born, not only are you given the gift of life, you are also two other things. You are first are given a clock, this clock does tell time, but not the time of day, but it tells the time you have left. After you are given your clock which you can not see, or tell how long you will live, you are given a book. This book is filled with blank pages, you can not take any pen to it and write what you like, or a novel you have thought up of. The only thing that is your pen, is the steps you take, the choices you have made, the people you have been acquainted to, the ones you have made friends with, others who are not your allies, and your thoughts and also speech. You can decided what is going to happen in your book depending on what you do and what you become. Every book ends in a similar way, everyone has to die, but what you die of or from or maybe something you did that caused you to die isn’t really up to you, but it is different from everyone else.

 

I have lead my life the way I thought best at the time. Do I regret my decisions once in awhile? Yes, I do I think back and say to myself I would have done this; whatever it is, differently. Would I change my decisions, actions, and words? Absolutely no, the things I choose, the things I did, and the things I some times regret saying have made me the person who I am today. I enjoy my life, I don’t know where it might lead I have learned that in the past few years. Trust me, don’t ever plan your life to far in advance, take each day as it comes, the only true way to make God laugh is tell HIM what YOU have planned for YOU.  Yes, decisions you have made and paths you have chosen to follow is up to you, but you never still truly know what you are going to do a year from now. 

 

Your life is a book, the steps you take in your life is the pen. It is up to you to write it, and figure out what kind of book will it be, and not in a sense of being a romance, adventure, sci-fi, and etc. but is it a book that will never be read, or a book that every library will have and a book that will be read over and over again through the ages. Your book, do what you wish. Do you want to be forgotten when you die? Or do you want your story to be told forever? I know what I want to do, do you? Do you know how your going to write your book?

 

  In my life there are things that I distinctly remember, and honestly wish that time in my life I could just go back and relive it over and over and over. One thing that has been on my mind for some time, is dancing. I used to love it so much, it was my everything, it was my passion, it was the one thing that I felt that made me who I was. A way to escape everything, just listening to the music, feeling rush through my body. Having the pure sense of joy keeping the beat and rhythm in my feet and body. Moving in such ways that only certain people could move, a certain poise, that mind blowing flexibility. I had danced for 11 years, I haven’t taken another step into a studio for four years now. 

 

  I still remember the feeling of dancing, the horrid smell of ruber floors that where never washed, only swept. A distinct oder to the shoes, that smelt bitter tbut then brought joy to know that they help me glide on the floor.  The wood bar that made me test my strength, flexability, and make me move in postions that would make a few people cringe at the sight.

 

Sadly that one fateful Summer everything that was me, was gone. I was ten when my Grandfather (Nugypapa) died, I was very close to him. I came over to visit every single day since I was like two to ten that is 2,918 day in a row I saw my grandfather. So maybe showing you a larger number you will realize that he was very special to me. The first time in 2001 he asked me if it was okay if he missed my dance recital. And then asked me to give a private show later, he never saw my dance. He had died before I could ever show him. I remember it as if it was yesterday, on the stage, in my purple dress, thinking my grandfather wasn’t in the audience and dancing to ”Beauty and The Beast” at the time of the recital he had not yet left me. But soon after my recital he was gone.  After his death all my memories of my grandfather had vanished as quickly as he did. But I did continue dancing four years afterwards, but ever since he has died my love for dance had quickly gone. The last time I stepped on the stage to preform, I remember forgetting my footing, and became off beat for all three songs, now when I look at the videos, I can see that my mind was not in the moment of dancing but thinking of my grandfather. 

 

My love for dancing is still somewhere in my heart, when I hear certain songs I would practice to I seriously stop what ever I am doing and dance. Those moments are forever embedded into my memory. When I stopped dancing is a descion I regret making some days.

 

  One thing I do have to say is this, it has been exactly one year from a very low point in my life. I am so happy to see how I have grown over this one year. I never made a bad choice in my life, just not the best choice there was.  But, I am very happy to report that I have reached the one year mark of a certain time in my life that took me through the worst time in my life, the most depressed I had ever been. Odd enough to say that I am happy it happened to me, because not only did I grow from it. I don’t think I could bare the thought of someone else in my position. Because I know that maybe someone else might not have been able to deal with it. They say the first cut is the deepest, but it wasn’t the first cut that hurt the most, it was the second, the third, and the fourth that hurt more then ever.  But now it has been a year, from that point of darkness, and lonelyness, and quite frankly it has taught me so much.

 

  Well, now my life is swell! Okay, it isn’t all that sweet and wonderful as it might look, but it is better then what it was. I have learned that life IS fair, it might not seem so at the time, but that is because there are better things in store for you in the future. When there seems to be nobody in the world that understands you, or loves you in a certain way *your family doesn’t count* there is someone that does. You might know them, you might not, but they love you with a burning passion, and so will you when you find them.

 

Understand life is short, don’t try to put life on hold, because time won’t stop. Hopefully what I told you in this blog will make you understand how life is short, and you never know when it is going to end. Also, you know that you might be making a hard choice at the moment, like for me it was to stop dancing, but know that in the end everything will work out as planned.

 

song for this blog is……..”1234″ by Feist.

 

p.s. Bible study was fun. We all wrote something nice to each other and read it later. Erin says I am over analytical. It is slightly true, I have to admit! The ride home from bible study was fun! Shy is cool, because she secretly is Russian and writes backwards F’s. HAHA! Kels is cute, because she tunes people out!

 

  

 

 

Story Of A Girl. May 7, 2008

     I have been thinking lately, which is RARE! No, not really I use my mind multiple times during the day.

 

How much music influences my life. It always have some relation to how I am feeling that day. It makes me happy, sad, and etc etc.

 

What else did I ponder about? Hmmm…… I was looking back on my life, and dang it the crazy things I did as a young girl. I wonder if I ever thought of “WHAT” could have happen.  I am trying not to boast about myself. Even though I have a feeling no matter what I say it is going to seem vain, it is not supposed to be vain. If it comes off vain then, cry me a river, I didn’t mean for it to be. 

 

What I am wanting to say is looking back on my life I did some pretty cool stuff, and accomplished a lot more when I wasn’t thinking of the “What ifs” I just did it, and whatever came out of it happened. Good or bad I would grow or learn what to do and what not to do the next time. 

Like Edison, how many light bulbs did it take him to figure out how to make that one? It is an argued question on the exact number but I will say at least one thousand tries until he figures out how to make a light bulb work and last longer then two seconds. He said something that has stuck with me.

A reporter asks Edison “How many failed attempts did you make before discovering the right way?”

Edison’s reply ”I never made failed attempts, I just learned 1,000 ways on how NOT to make a light bulb.”

 

Now what I am saying you never “FAIL” you just learn on ways that don’t work. Okay, I honestly go on with quotes from famous people about Failure. The big thing in common that they all meant was, if I had never failed I would have never had learned the right way of doing it. 

 

 I think I did some pretty stupid stuff back then, but now I have so many stories to tell. I know if you know me now you might think of me as different, from the person I was six years ago. I have done somethings some people have never done, or very few people have experienced. I am proud of that, I am less proud of my awards, plaques, trophies, ribbons, badges, and being in the newspaper a few times; then I am of my experiences.

  Yes, I had to work my tail off for the awards and stuff. I just don’t think it has given me a lot of things I can say “I did THAT” .  Becasue next year someone else will be rewarded the same. They are nice for college and other things but not as cool as saying that “I sat on a alligator and held its mouth, while being in a pit of 15 other alligators roaming the land.” The story goes more in depth but I won’t get into detail. Yeah, I bet that is a random fact you didn’t know about me.

 

I guess doing things that average people wouldn’t want to do, has always been apart of me. I have always said that I don’t want to die from old age, I would rather die doing something that not many people are doing. Because at least I had fun, and lived my life and not trying to preserve myself for old people in those museums they call nursing homes. I also say, they ”pretty” old people had no real fun in there life; they must not have had much expression since they aren’t wrinkled like a shirt. I encourage people to do some daring things in their life time. Get some wrinkles on your face, you will enjoy the story telling time of your life to people other then nice looking skin.

If you have a fear, go out there and conquerr your fear. Fear is nothing more then abstinence or courage. We all have fears, for the people who have told me that they don’t believe I have fears or any kind of afobia I won’t tell you them because they are pretty ridiculous when you hear them. (If you really need to know for some odd reason ask me, but not here on my blog.)

So for today’s blog in a nutshell……your life is a book filled with blank pages, it is up to you to pick up the pen and start writing.

Have fun with your life, you only have one.

JUST DO IT!!!! April 23, 2008

 

 I want to start off saying HAPPY EARTH DAY! Yes, I know I am a Hippie,  and I am proud of it. I have been working on a painting that is of a picture of an owl, the earth, and a Sunflower and it says “Give A Hoot Don’t Pollute” in honor of Earth Day.  Even though I am horriable at drawing or painting it is fun and relaxing.

 

Today Kelsey and I went to the mall to hang out. It was so much fun, we talked, grabed a bite to eat at California Pizza which has the best pizza by the way. Kels did most of the shopping and she even bought me a Owl necklace! Thanks again, your awesome. She is really cool, we caught up with each other and talked about everything. Prom is going to be so much fun, Shy, Kels, and I are going to gt ready at my house and then in Las Olas, we are going to grab a bite to eat. Sadly this Friday we can’t do our girl night hang out, Kels has a Wedding to go to. *tear* I will miss her! Kelsey and I were making up a list of all the things we are going to do over the summer, and other times tonight. HAHA! We are going to go traveling and hopefully come to South America with me *wink* and have a little party! I am thrilled to see what comes in the future!

 

Talking about the future, I was just thinking about how many times people say in the future I want to do this and so on. Like as if when you become of any age the magical wand is waved above your head and life becomes Joyful, Fun, and Blissful with no problems.

Honestly, when we become that age we have always wanted to become and all that fun stuff we planned in our youth we never do. We again daydream about the future and what we will do at that time in our lives. Why don’t we just realize that when we were 10 and wanted to be 16 because that is a “Sweet” year and we will then just start having relationships, parties, hangouts, dates, do whatever we want basically. But when we become 16 we want to be 18 were we are no longer under our parents rule, we can smoke, we are legal adults according to the government.

Once again this disease happens once again, we are 18 we want to be 21 we can drink, for some of us we are almost done with college. This isn’t just a little thing, this is time, and your life, how are you going to live it? Are you going to get this disease of wanting to be older, because fill in the blank, we want to drive, drink, smoke, gamble, marry our love, have children, watch our children grow, the list can go on. It is a disease that you won’t realize you had until you stop and notice that you are old, you are going to die soon and you look upon your life and wonder what you did wrong. You are going to think, well I was a good person, I was nice, or whatever you do.

The thing you will know you did wrong was never live in the moment, always wanted something you didn’t have, but then regretting what you did which is youth. You will die wondering if I just DID that instead of thinking what I would DO, you would have accomplished so much more then you could ever imagine. Even if you are shaking like a leaf just do it, if you have the chance to. You won’t regret it.  You will regret the things you didn’t do, not the things you did do.

Today, I am debuting Landon Pigg in “Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop” that is the song above the blog itself. Enjoy the music, until next time! I am out!

Stay safe, and JUST DO IT!

Family April 8, 2008

 

Family is a big part of my life. Even though they might not be all that sane some times, or even concur with me. They have always been there for me and always will be. In the picture above, it is a picture of my cousin and me on my parents boat. We went on a short little cruise for spring break, and well let just make this as simple as ABC.

My cousin Nicky and I go way back. Ever since I can remember, we have always been in some silly argument like who gets the remote, what we watch, what game we play, what movie to watch, and this list can go on for miles. On this trip we had so much fun even though all the parents hear is “your such a cheater. CHEATER!” “I am not the cheater, Cheater, your the cheater” never play ‘uno’ or any kind of card game with the two of us.

 The truth is, even though the parents hear our argueing we are actually pretty much inseperable when we are together. We sing, dance, laugh *at each other*, talk about nonsense, take pictures, and well always look out for one another. No one else but me can mess with Nicky, we are there for each other no matter if the other one likes it at the time. Being raised in a family where family is everything the backbone to life, I can’t see not loving my cousin as much as I do.

I know some families barely communicate or never see or talk to each other. But if I didn’t have my family I don’t think I could survive. After coming back from a family friend’s brother’s funeral I realized how much family is. No, I didn’t have Nicky with me, even though I missed him and wanted somebody to bug. I think everyone should mend their ties or bond with their family no matter what. If you don’t have family, create one. That is the best family you can ever have, you can actually choose your family. Friends are also a good thing because after the years of joy and tears they become like family.

Family should be the most important thing you can ever have. Because, no matter what, they will be there with you.

Shout-out and random things that come to mind. March 30, 2008

   Today was fun, I also want to start out by giving a shout out to one of the coolest people I know and you wish you knew. To my little cousin Nicky! It is his sweet sixteenth birthday today. Fun kid, we are closer then bubble in bubblegum yeah. If you are around when we are together, we will probably be arguing about something pretty silly. Even though we love each other so much we are more like brother and sister then cousins. Even though we have some good memories together like our vacation to Madera Beach for Labor Day weekend. That is one of my favorite memory with him, we saw a wild manatee in the ocean which was like 5 feet away from me in the water. So shout out to my home boy Asiababasia! Happy birthday Chicken!

We went to Dave & Busters and played video games for a good two hours. We surprised Chicken at D&B since he thought me and my family wouldn’t be joining him for his birthday. I did bake him some Brownies, well lets just say sitting in a hot car for a few hours over baked them and well they were hard as rocks. I now have to bake him another batch of brownies that is not rock solid. Also, fun news Nicky has Spring Break this coming week and my parents might be going on a trip on the sail boat. So, Nicky might come with us for a few days on the sailboat, that means I have someone to talk to. You might be thinking, but taK-tiK you and Chicken always fight. True, but we always have fun when we are together.  I will take a gazillion pictures which will drive him crazy, and he will keep poking me or tickling me the whole time. That is pretty much how it will work, we will have oodles of fun.

Also, I have been in extremely good moods if you have noticed lately. It is because things have been going pretty good so far. I am just pondering about how exactly I can try to change the world and or give back to the earth. I am trying to think, would it be THAT hard like everyone thinks it is or have they ever even tried? I mean how can you know what you can and can’t do if you never try?  Think about it, if everybody tried something that they thought they could never do but only in their dreams, what impact would they make? What if someone thought up of a theory and never tried it, would it have made a difference or would have it made it one closer in discovering something brilliant and never thought of before. I think more people should live in a state of mind in trying everything they can and are able to do. Even if you are not “able” to do it, still try to do it. (Please don’t take my advice to any extremes, I am not liable if you do. Think on your own, use the most powerful thing you can ever have which is your head.)
