I’m not sure I’m using pictures the right way on tumblr. Oh well, whatya gonna do?

So, I went to the mall

today.

I had to, c’mon, you know I had to.

Gonna go tomorrow too.

So owls are the wise are animals, and tortoises are the wise land animals, so what are the wise sea animals? For some reason I think of sea cucumbers

this one kind of looks like a disturbed long squishy brain

Can people eat these things? I wouldn’t recommend it, but I’m no doctor

oh Neil Patrick Harris, what can’t you do?

so, Jim Parsons is amazing, more people need to know this

he makes that spoon look good, plus he took a picture with a piece of pie, the man is clearly a genius.

being random with pictures is what the internet was made for

though now with much more enthusiasm due to current life situations, here’s a cute picture to negate the negativity

holy smokes it’s baby pandas. I like the one with the black and the white.

Anywho, let’s see, life’s been a pretty crazy adventure, a lot like pokemon only there’s no pokemon… yeah, pokemon really need to be real don’t they? Then whenever I put too much ketchup on my plate, I could have my pikachu help me out

btw, happy birthday betty white, you rule

Words that rhyme with noodles:

poodles

Yeah, that’s all I got…

let’s see, what else?

i heard michelle obama’s going to be on icarly

i want to see those light up socks spencer wears actually in stores, we sell snuggies gosh darnit

I’m keeping the language g-rated for all the all the babies on tumblr

Have a nice day folks!

Looking back, there were so many things that didn’t seem to work out. And I would take from them the worst possible feelings. Feelings of self-loathing, of abandonment, of anger, frustration. I would feel pathetic, ugly, worthless, unwantable, unlovable. And, all these feeling were self-imposed. Perhaps not intentionally, but nonetheless, I was my own tormenter. I would feel betrayed and abandoned when those things were not truly what was happening, only how I perceived them to be.

I don’t think I’m the only person who did this to themselves when they were younger. I admit I still do it now, though I’m much more aware about it now than I was then. And hopefully, this awareness will lead to change. I wouldn’t wish such feelings on anyone, so why should I continue putting my own self down?

It’s the only way to live. To pursue wholeheartedly. To cry until you run out of tears. To laugh until you’re out of breath. To live a life so vividly and fully, your demise is a welcome breath of fresh air to wisp you away from a world whose opportunities have been fully enjoyed. In a world so bustling with life, we can find nothing but cliches Thoughts that strike us as brilliant have been floating around for eons in the minds and words of other men. But, I say, to hell with the idea of originality. We are all a collages of the bits and pieces of anything and everything that we’ve ever come in contact with. Of people, places, words, ideas, beings, we have borrowed bits and pieces to construct who we are. Without each other, we are nothing. And so, should the wise, despite having been repeated words, fall upon deaf ears, they have themselves to blame for their misery.

Regret nothing. Let not your pride be your folly. As your folly is not just your own, but the shared burden of all those you care for you. We are capable of accomplishment. We are capable of error. We swear, yell, harm, fight, abuse, misuse. We also soothe, heal, defend, and love. Our mistakes, our follies, are our greatest asset. They are glimpses of a self we can improve. If there were any shame in progress, I have yet to realize it. Regret nothing. And live each moment the best that you can. There is only so much time we are given. Even in our blunders, let us reap rewards. Reap benefits. Savor all of life.

Regret nothing.

it’s easy to get bummed

you try, you apply, you send resumes, you google, you craigslist

and it blows, no emails, no replies, no responses

it feels like no one cares

you’re a decent person looking for honest work

and day after day, nothing happens

if you’re like me, you want to do good work, and you know you can, you care about people, like helping them, and know you can do a good job, and it just sucks when you can’t find work.

but, what i was telling myself earlier was this:

look, it ain’t gonna be easy. But, you do good things, good things will happen. You keep at it, and you WILL find a job. And you’ll kick butt at it. And it will be so worth the wait. So, keep positive and keep looking, because it’s out there, you just gotta get to it. because you care. you try. you do good work. you like people. you like helping people. and you’re not going to quit. you’ll keep trying. keep working on stuff. And, you will get it done. Because you’re awesome. It might take a while, but you don’t quit. so smile, walk in the door, and ask nicely if the place is hiring, and if they say no, say thank you and walk out. be polite. you can do this. and you will. stay motivated, stay psyched, and stay smiling. a positive attitude can do wonders.

:)

i’m gonna be such an awesome employee.

Hey Tumblr. What up? It’s been a while since we’ve hung out.

Hmmm, life. 4 letters. plenty of meanings to people.

maybe i’m crazy. I hope I’m crazy in a good way. I don’t think I am in a bad way. I don’t want to hurt people or anything. But, I think I might be crazy. And I’ll tell you why: I feel good.

Drug-free, insult-free, food-free, intimacy-free, compliment-free. I just feel good. Still looking for work, starting school, ending summer, living at home with that which frustrates me, not perfect, not a size zero, not conventional pretty, not tall, not a badass ninja, still dark circles under my eyes, but nonetheless, I feel good.

i think i know a four letter word more potent than life. And, it’s not a swear word either (Seriously people, clean up yo’ language, there are kids on the internet now)

It’s LOVE.

Awkward, uncomfortable, shy, bashful, sweet, kind, beautiful, lusty, fun, funky love.

it’s like those seven dwarves that snow white hung out with, only less disney friendly.

well, i guess that mostly describes romantic love, which is NOT the end all, be all, blahblahblah.

that would be a good name for a blog

DIBS HAVE BEEN CALLED^^^^^^^^

anywho

i think love is what’s making me feel good

so many awesome people in my life that i’m blessed to interact with

but, it’s awesome, i don’t need much else to be happy, to feel good, to feel like im doing something i ought to be doing

it’s terribly cliche, but i guess i’m cheesy, like a good plate of nachos

i like nachos

yay for nachos

62words:

I see it in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your fingertips. I feel it in your touch, in your kiss, in the way you hold me tightly in your arms. In the way you laugh when I say something dumb, in the way you would spin the whole world on it’s axis if you could, just for me.

wow, it certainly has been a while

1. I’m alive

2. I’m alive

3. I’m alive

wow, that was easy :)

I can do this.

I don’t need someone to be proud of me to know when I should be proud of myself.

I’m getting better everyday, smarter and wiser and funner.

It’s all good.

I’ve got about 6 more days of school left. It’s so hard to believe. But, you know what, it’s been so incredibly amazing, I can’t describe it concisely.

All those experiences. The friends gained and lost and somewhere in between.

I’ve learned so much. Grown so much. Found where who I am begins.

I’ve found passions. I’ve found art.

I’ve found help when I was in so much need of it.

I’ve found teachers and people who together made my amazing education possible.

It’s been excellent, amazing, and I’m not going down without a fight to say the least. 

I’m gonna work and get as much done as I can. :)

I can so do this.

I’ve learned to actually believe and trust myself. Even if I’ve been wrong before. Even though I haven’t made the best decisions in the past.

I’ve gained loves and passions and a drive that’s stronger than ever to just get better.

I’m going to read more, write more, think more, study more, train more, smile more, laugh more, and live more.

I’m gonna make everyday awesome!

Yeah, I sound cheesy and cliche. And, I like it!

So, today, I redeemed myself. For, last year, chickening out from standing up against something I knew was wrong. I may not have been as eloquent or as intelligent-sounding as I would have liked. I need to learn to control my temper more, though progress has definitely been made. I did manage to hold my tongue for a while. But, I did something. But, I acted. I did something that a year ago, I know I would’ve never done. And, I feel so proud, and unashamed of this pride. Being ok with being ok. It’s complicated and it’s what I’m working towards.

I’m trying to finish as many math assignments as I can tonight, I’m gonna give getting a C in Precal my best shot, so at the very least I’ll get to graduate and at the best I’ll get my own cord! I’ve learned so much from that class, in and outside of the realms of mathematics. Life and discipline and the importance of consistency. I’ve had the tools for future success thrust into my hands and I plan to hold them in an iron grip. 

Acrylic is a beautiful and interesting medium. Working with the colors today, I interrogated my teacher for any and all assistace. Needless to say, crucial information was divulged. Now, it simply must be implemented.

Today was the last Philosophy Club meeting. And it was absolutely awesome. Chilling and snacking and laughing at jokes that take a second or two to understand. It’s a beautiful thing that continues to grow, how great is that?

Singles is diving into the intricacies of human relationships, and as always, it’s pretty darn confusing at times. I’m slowly conquering the mountain of awkward that divides the left and right sides of my brain. Mountain’s being a real pain in the caboose, if you know what I mean.

Harold and Maude is an interesting movie. Check it out when you feel like being inspired to be more awesome than usual.

It’d be cool to have no obligations to take care of anyone. That would relieve so much pressure. When you fail, it’s just you. There’s no one relying on you that’s now down stream without a paddle. It’s sort of lonely, but so free. Maybe true solitude is the ultimate freedom. Maybe I don’t want to be that free. Being human is so confusing. We want something but we don’t want it at the same time. Each man is subject to his own birth I guess. The only line from Shakespeare i’ll probably ever memorize. Oh well, I’ll take care of the people I love and try to help as many people as I can while growing and living and living it up.

back to work, I am going to make a daily write, so until tomorrow turtledoves.

OARN, I really want to make a great painting. My last piece in high school. I’m gonna give it my best shot, I hope I’ll be alloted some extra time!
