Keep Breathing

Sad to celebrate Sergei Grinkov's 14th year in passing. I loved this man's talent and appreciated him to great depths.

While I was still young when he left us, I continuously remember his love for his people and pride in himself that inspires me in how I live life every day.

Thank you, Mr. Grinkov. In honor, I advise you all to visit the American Heart Association website and find tips on how to keep your heart healthy. February is American heart month - so get involved!

What's The Motive?

Forums. A place of happiness, laughter, and equal input. You would think...

Lately I've experienced a variety of occurrences attacking my personal way of life, my personal beliefs, and even my personality all because I've stated my not-so-harsh opinions on one lousy forum.

What do you think is the motive behind cyber-bullying on forums? Threat? Dominance? Arrogance? Ignorance? Or is everybody just high on speed?

I'm getting very ticked off having to justify myself and my emotions over and over again. And I'm thinking it's not so much a laughing matter anymore when I've contributed SO much to the other fans and members of this forum and I get nothing but insults in return.

One message I got out of this: People. Need. To. Grow. Up!

On a nicer note: I found a wonderful forum for teenagers (I'd guess ages 13-23ish?) called TeenHut. Go check it out!

School Work Bonanza

ARGHHH!!

I have a 3 page history essay to write on the civilizations and empires from 3000 B.C. to mid-200 B.C., plus a few math sheets and a few web design assignments such as a podcast and forum posts.

I am working harder than before, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of this math thing.

Mere Acts of Romantic Expression

"We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice.
Fingers failed us before they froze.
And frostbite bit down on all our toes." - Owl City

Why do life and love move so fast? Why does it feel like I'm 100 years away from where I used to be? Is that a good thing, or a sign of loss?

A turning point into teenage reality. A huge step in your growth and experience. Typically, you would feel a sense of inner remorse, but I actually feel closer to myself on a more intimate level.

Possibly the level of intimacy between him and I was meant to be. And that it was meant to teach me a lesson. One of knowledge and comfort. I know one thing is for sure: I love passion. I love love. All I dream of is a level of romance that no one could explain.

But for now, I'll close this sentimental blog post with this: Mere acts of romantic expression are not to be taken lightly. Force only causes scars. As I like to say, let your halo keep you safe. Don't give away your innocence to somebody who takes it and runs into the darkness.

I can handle so much. So much more than I thought I could.
