Jack Kerouac.

meet jack.
he is amazing.
he said what i think in my head so much better then i could ever dream. i've only met one... possibly two people that could ever use words like he does, and all i can say is that these are the people that you can't let go of.

jack says:
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

turtle party.

i found this insanely funny. i "LOL"ed in speech and people starred.

here's what it says:

the Saddest thing I can Think of.
everyone at school has a little baby turtle except for one boy.
the kids all have a turtle party where they all bring their turtles.
but if you don't have a little turtle you can't come.

no one will let him borrow a turtle.
he does not get to go to the party.
he has to stay home. he sits in his
room and tries to draw a picture
but his tears ruin everything
he tries to draw.



that's the saddest thing this man at [www.toothpastefordinner.com] could come up with.

colors.

i think people take "color" for granted.

"The question is, what color will everything be at the moment when I come for you? What will the sky be saying? Personally, I like a chocolate-colored sky. Dark, dark chocolate. People say that it suits me. I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see- the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on. It takes the edge off the stress. It helps me relax.

A SMALL THEORY.
People observe tyhe colors of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different color. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, i make it a point to notice them.

The last time I saw her was red. The sky was like soup, boiling and stirring. In some places, it was burned. There were black crumbs, and pepper, streaked across the redness.
---The Book Theif; Markus Zusak




just to make you think...

WOAH.

you know what i decided after publishing that last post? i don't want to use this blog to ramble about nothing. i want to talk about important things, with my point of view and my opinions. i want to be able to look back on this thing in a couple years and be like "oh yeah. i remember that." i want to post songs, and poems, and amazing little says and quotes and talk about good days and bad days. what have i been doing?! sheesh. i need to get started.

be prepared.

"I like watchin' puddles gather rain."

So. this has been a long week (to say the least). a lot has happened, and i have a feeling a lot more will happen in the days/weeks/months that come. but i am ok. my family is ok. and we will continue to be ok. :D

here is a song for you-- one of the most amazing i've come across in awhile. if i haven't already told you about it CHECK IT OUT. you'll love it :)

Artist: Air Traffic
Song: Shooting Star

Pretty if the sun won’t shine
I’ll be coming out to meet you
I’ll be there to make you mine

You’re pretty if the rain will pour
I’ll be knocking at your window
I’ll be begging you for more

It is as if you’ve come along too soon
and I’m trying to fit you in
but I can’t seem to follow

You’re a cutie if it all falls through
We can piece it back together
I can learn to trust you too

You’re just too good to lose
and I can’t refuse
so don’t make me choose
between the two
I’m fed up in here
in my atmosphere
Don’t you know who you are
You’re my shooting star

Your pretty teach me wrong from right
’cause in love there are no answers
and in life there is no lie
You’re pretty if the sun won’t shine
Now you’ve come this far to meet me
and I know, I know you’re mine

You’re just too good to lose
and I can’t refuse
so don’t make me choose
between the two
I’m fed up in here
in my atmosphere
Don’t you know who you are
You’re my shooting star

Don’t you know who you are
You’re my shooting star

check this out!

i found this awesome drawing on the internet, and i'm like "wow! this would look sooo cool colored!"

so i colored it. XD thanks to photoshop! it was crazy fun and its finally finished... i started the first day of this sememster. O.o and it looks sweet, right?!?!

so... im sitting here watching spectacular. kinda sad i know...


but its not that horrible!

im back!

so this has been a pretty exciting weekend... not only did i get to spend a day at the mall of america- but i am typing this very post on our new laptop! its a hand-me-down dell from my aunt and uncle, who's house we stayed at this weekend. lucky us!

he mall was definitely bigger than i remember... 4 levels in all, and a huge amusement park right in the middle. it used to be called Camp Snoopy, but they changed it to Nickelodeon World pretty recently. bummer. but the rides were awesome, and i SERIOUSLY recommend Spongebob's Rock Bottom Plunge to anyone who is willing to wait in line for an insanely fun and twisted ride. a dead vertical drop. want to know whats weird though? the line for the "Ghost Blasters" ride was A LOT longer... but it was a good time. we spent most of the day shopping actually, and even though i had quite a bit of money to spend, i only had time to get one thing. haha. oh well.

one last thing happened that pretty much made my day. in a scary kind of way. when we were waiting in line at the McDonald's right outside of the amusement park, a gang fight broke out right next to us. pretty freaky. lots of swearing and pushing. especially from this dad who stood up to protect his kid from the fight. he was big. more power to him. haha. but security was there in a matter of seconds and once we got our food we found somewhere else to eat.

so that was my weekend! an amazing amount of fun, though i didn't get to visit all of the stores that i wished... but oh well. i;m sure i'll go again.

and i should go now, since my awesome uncle said so. (inside joke.) XD

yay!

so, i'm sitting here in web page design, like usual, and i am now incredibly happy. its kind of mean to feel so, but i got the 3 people next to me moved because they were all very annoying and loud and liked to talk about VERY explicit things, that everyone in the class could hear except for the teacher.

but i fixed the problem. :D

new artist

Artist: Imogen Heap
Album: The Chronicles of Narnia
Song: Can't Take It In

can't close my eyes
they're wide awake
every hair on my body
has got a thing for this place

oh, empty my heart
i've got to make room for this feeling
it's so much bigger than me

it couldn't be anymore beautiful
i can't take it in

weightless in love...unraveling
for all that's to come
and all that's ever been
we're back to the board
with every shade under the sun
let's make it a good one

it couldn't be anymore beautiful
it couldn't be anymore beautiful
i can't take it in

laaaaaaaa ohhhhhhh
i can't take it in

laaaaaaaaa ohhhhhh
i can't take it in
woahhhhhhh

it couldn't be anymore beautiful
it couldn't be anymore beautiful
i can't take it in

more that I wonder
more than I ever needed
woahhhhhh
more that I wonder

(oooooohhhhhh)


(you all know the movie the "Chronicles of Narnia," right? yay!)

in between then & now.

these are two images that i made in web page design. i'm actually considering making one of these into the image at the top of this blog. what do you think?

guess where i am?!?

and no, its not webpage design...

































its speech!

so.

so. i'm sitting here in webpage design. i already finished what we were supposed to do today, so i figured i'd ramble for a little while on my blog. aren't you priviledged. :D you can probably expect this to happen a lot, so check back here regularly for weekly rants and music and movies and... yeah. blog stuff!

as you will notice, my blog looks a little different then it did a week ago. i like the change, don't you? i plan on using the photoshop on this computer whenever i get the chance, just to spice up the layout a little bit. i already have pictures and ideas, so this should be fun!

so... i'd better go. it feels like i'm doing someting illegal by blogging during class. oh well.

ttyl! (illegally...)

New Band

i've decided that i am going to start posting the name of a new band i find every once and a while. just to keep you on your toes... (p.s. "new band" meaning a solo artist or music group that i have just heard of and am really enjoying. okeydokey?)



Band: Jaimes Elsewhere
Song: O' The Trophy Bearer

And as we know
What we were never could've last
Pray for love,
Cause love is the only thing
that you've never had
So cry yourself to sleep again, and drift away
Drift away...

Get into this,
Realize there's no way around the truth
You cannot stop asking yourself,
who will love you now?

And as we know
What we were never could've last

And as the fog rolls in
You let go and drift away
But how far will you fall
until you fight for air?

I will not give into this,
you can't hold me back at all
I do not belong to you,
you cannot ask me for that
