Projects Октябрь 28, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentI have had to do these projects, 3 to be exact and they are all due during the same week. This week. It’s really frustrating because even if i am done with my homework when i get home i still gotta work on my projects. School is getting tougher and tougher. As you can probably tell by the frequency of posts I don’t have as much time to post here. Also stats aren’t down but I am really missing the interaction with my viewers. Comments don’t come anymore, so i may still be getting views but my blog runs on what people think of the posts.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed?
Life Lately… Октябрь 23, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentSo a lot of stuff has been going on in my life lately. My mom has gone to a journaling meeting in Washington and she won’t be back until Sunday. And so this week I have been going to friends so my Dad won’t have to rush to pick us up from school. It’s slightly funny because I have 3 projects for school do next week and they all include artwork. So normally I have help but this weekend I will have to do three projects on my own. Which will be pretty hard. Also the iphone app we will be releasing is almost ready to submit.
I would like to talk about something serious though. It involves this quote below:
Your Mouth’s Spilling Words,
Armed For Slaughter
- Maya Angelou
What she means to say in this quote is that we as humans just speak without thought and our words are armed as though to kill. As i was reading this line I thought to myself, nothing explains the world better right now then this line. People not caring what they utter. People cursing, complaining, and making others feel unwelcome. Other people pushing there ruthless agendas on us, other people speaking out without restraint. I notice this wherever i go. We, as humans, don’t think about what we say we just say it. I am sure all of us have felt hurt by another because they didn’t think before they spoke. These words can leave a person damaged. I hope I never do this to a person in my life.
Have you ever been hurt my someone who didn’t think before they spoke?

About a billion minutes ago, the Roman Empire was in full swing.
About a billion hours ago, we were living in the Stone Age.
About a billion months ago, dinosaurs walked the earth.
A billion inches is 15,783 miles, more than halfway around the earth.
About a billion people are going hungry.
There are more hungry people in the world than ever before. More than one billion people, almost a sixth of humanity, are now undernourished, according to the latest estimates from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Most people reading this could easily open their pantry and take out a bag of chips and be set for the night. But one in six people struggles to survive on a meal a day, sometimes less. What can you do to help?

Color Октябрь 18, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentEver notice how a color can change a person’s mood? How people are drawn to certain colors because they just have that aura? All colors transfer to us something, that is why many people enjoy using color everywhere. In their room, on their blog, everywhere. So today I am going to talk about all the colors and what they do for me.
Yellow represents calm and fully at ease
Orange represents heat, warmth and the opening of a new day
Red is bold, strong and stable
Purple is the color of beauty, and always gives me the feeling of a good smell
Blue is constantly changing, the cascading colors of water pass of my eyes
Green is the color of earth, the color green is the most diverse infront with several shades.
Many of these qualities make us happy. You will notice people combining colors they like, often. Like me who is constantly combining the cascading blue, with the bold red.
What is you color combination and what does it mean to you?

Coordinate Октябрь 13, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentNow I am not talking about all that Latitude and Longitude stuff. I am talking about how we coordinate our lives on a daily basis.
We, as you humans constantly look toward the next closest activity that hasn’t yet occurred. I find myself, and many other asking questions about the next event even if we are not done with the current one. This is one of the worst things a person can do to themselves. People need to live in the now, to enjoy what is now, and to fully enjoy what exists now. I challenged myself to learn why I tend to look to the future and not the present. The feeling people have, is fear. They are afraid of the what the future holds so they want to secure it by determining what they are doing next. This is very unhealthy. I have met many people in my life, and some say that they are in the moment. But if their is one person I have met that is fully in the moment, is my sister, Maya. She never asks about the future, she doesn’t even think about it. I think that is precisely why she is my sister. We are opposites in that genre.
What are things that you think about? (past,present,future)
Tolerance Октябрь 9, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentWe all tolerate things and people in our lives. It is a skill we all must learn. Even if we dislike a person it does not give use permission ever to retaliate. But to tolerate their behavior and think why are they doing what they are doing. We must never use the word hate for someone we can tolerate. Hate is an extremely powerful word. I believe it should only apply to death, like if someone had killed someone. That is the appropriate time to use hate and a few others. But most everyday things we can accept and learn too tolerate it or completely block it out. Their are even museums that promote to tolerance. They do this because if people learn about people who were hurt by mean people because they could not tolerate their comments. They are much more likely to be different themselves and learn to take everything with a grain of salt.
I tolerate loud people even if they are right next to me.
What do you tolerate, whether on a daily basis or not?
Day In L.A. Октябрь 7, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentI am writing this moments before i need to go to school.
Yesterday, my cousin Gil and I wanted to spend time together. Little did i know it would become one of the craziest adventures in my life. It started out with Gil coming back to my house because he was out doing another activity. He was frantic because he bought my mom this really nice authentic Japanese paper that could only be purchased at that store. He left the roll of papers on the bus he took from their. We thought we could catch the bus before it departed again but we were wrong and ended up searching for about an hour. By this time we were closer to the store then my home so we decided to go get them again. We laughed in the car because Gil is a cab driver in New York and kept on honking at people because is was so built in. We wanted to find something to eat but we decided to get Ice Cream instead. Cotton Candy and Rainbow Sherbet. We also passed this amazing building, called the Walt Disney Concert Hall:
When we back in my neighborhood we decided to get In-N-Out which was so delicious. By that time we were supper hungry and wolfed down our food.
And the best part was the whole time we were driving around like madmen Gil was making funny New York accents:
Have you ever gone on an unexpected adventure?
