Do You know?

Hey and hello. I thought I would talk a little bit about questions… not that I have any answers, but just wondering out of shear curiosity, how many people have any idea what to do next? Just like in general? Maybe most people have things planned out, or know pretty much what they’re going to do next, but I have no clue. Is that bad? I know what I want to do, but how do I get there? What’s the first step for… anything? Hmm…

There’s so many questions we don’t have answers to.  Even though I don’t know the answers, I wish I had some sort of blueprint to at least try to figure out the answers… you know? Like, what if life was a math problem, and I don’t mean division or multiplication, that’d be too easy. I mean an algebra or calculus problem.

(this is off topic, but when I hear the word calculus, I automatically think of this old MTV movie about a boy band who’s hit was “calculus” with lyrics like, “I know my calculus, because you + me = us” right? anyone remember? Any—never mind. Sorry)

Do you think life would be easier if we were given instructions to figure out the math problem? We’d at least know what we’re supposed to do to figure out our lives. But, then again, I suppose that’s the “fun” part in life. The journey, not the destination. Not knowing is part of the intrigue… at least that’s what I hear. I’ll try to figure out my questions alone, because that’s how you grow. Or something like that. I guess

I definitely know I need to start writing story ideas. Even if I don’t post them here, I need to get that done. School is almost back in!! Ugh.

Arrows & Veins

I shot an arrow into the sky,

Bobbing and weaving, and watching it fly.

I thought, “How long before I feel its pain?”

And then, it fell, landing on my vein.

My Favorite Band

Since I’m SOOO not in a writing mood right now, who wants to see a crazy awesome video of Carney? Of course you do! Your welcome…

Carney is awesome. I love this band :)

I think I’ll be posting more videos than stories. I’m not in a writing mood, but I have a feeling you won’t disagree.

Snow Daze

I know this was supposed to be about writing & blah, blah, blah, but instead it’s something much more interesting… Snow pictures! 

My dog didn’t really like it

my sad attempt at drawing a ladybug…

my sister’s snowmen. Mr. & Mrs. Snowcowsky from Russia

my snowman. Monsieur Chef Frost  

my same snowman with my glasses… he kinda turned into Elvis  

It was fun :)   

Snow

It's snowing. I'll put pictures up tomorrow. bye.

Writing is Hard

Hiiii! 1.2.11! It doesn’t have the same ring, does it? Well, I remember, long ago, when I said on my blog I would post some of my work when school was on break… well, I’ve been on break for about a month and well, I haven’t really done that. I’ve been incredibly bored lately AND I haven’t wanted to do anything (does that sound right?) so since I’m still trying to work out my resolutions and it’s not quite quitting time yet, I should start writing something right?

I’m really trying to be more of a do-er and less of a talk-er. (why does this sentence sound weird or off?)

So, if I don’t post a blog tomorrow, I broke my resolution… or I was eaten by a giant fish in the middle of Manhattan! Which is really rare because I’m in California.  But that giant fish does like to follow me… (whisper: I’m afraid to look behind me right now, I feel something wet on my shoulder)

I sort of feel like blogging about Rod Serling (creator of the Twilight Zone) because the New Year’s marathon on SyFy was just on… hmm. So! I’ll either post one of my stories, or write about the Twilight Zone, or I’ll feel lazy and not write about anything. I feel strongly that any of those could happen. But, either way, we’ll all win…

P.S. you can always comment on one of these posts. It would give me something to do...
P.P.S. sorry for always telling you to comment, ignore it. you don't have to (please comment though)

1.1.11

 Wow, hello, 2011! You feel so, you feel so… the same. It’s a bit of a “same dog, new color” feeling. That’s a saying right?
 I hope to be more mature, wise, and rational… I’m sorry, I meant the exact opposite of those things. But, while I’m on the subject of change, might as well lay out my New Year’s resolutions right? That’s right, it’s one of a million peoples resolution/betterment of oneself list! Yeah, you’re right, that was a perfect segway.

I honestly want very simple, not too big of a deal changes. I want to at least feel my abs, and get more flexible. It’s ridiculous; I can’t even touch my toes. Something has to change. And as far as my abs go, sure, I’m already thin, and I don’t have to hold my stomach in (too much) to wear a nice shirt, but… I don’t know, I just want to be able to feel my stomach muscles. Is that a crime?!

Also, I want to be able to speak up a little more. I talk a little bit to people, but I’m still a little shy around strangers, and now that I’m 20… well, I kinda think that’s unacceptable. They’re just people right? Well, I guess some are aliens, but that’s beside the point.

I definitely want to go to more concerts of bands I like (of course I’m talking about Carney, and The Brobecks) and I would LOVE to go more comedy shows (of course I’m talking about Nick Thune, but also hopefully Bo Burnham & Daniel Tosh. That’d be awesome).

This year, I want to make a plan and ACTUALLY stick with it! I’m so tired of being that person who says they’re going to do something and then says it again… and again, and again. Do you get it? The “all talk no ability to walk without a cane” person… that’s a saying right?

I want this year to be fun w/ a new, flexible, outgoing, (fingers crossed) taller, me!!!!...

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’ll break all but one of those.
