Hurricane

I love it.

There's a hurricane outside. Well, for an Arizonan like me, it sure seems like a hurricane. The palms are swaying violently. The rain comes down like icy daggers. And the wind is rattling the door, like an unwanted visitor begging to be let inside. I'm completely drenched.

I love it.

I took my glasses off and put them in my jacket pocket to keep them safely away from the angry raindrops. And then I looked up to the sky, standing in the midst of the tempest. My hair was blown about, and the rain pierced through my clothes.

I love it.

It makes me think of the movie The Notebook. How I love that part, when they are both standing in the rain, in eachother's embrace. How I wish I had someone else. But no, here I'm standing in the rain by myself. Alone.

I hate it.

Red

This past weekend I went to the Rage Music Festival. It's a christian rock and roll festival that goes on for two days, with twenty-five bands, on two stages. I got to see my favorite band, Red, there. Sometimes my friends make fun of me for liking them, because their songs are kinda emo (well, ok. They're really emo). But that's why I like them. Because I know exactly what that guy is talking about when he talks about the struggles and the pain of life. I know exactly what he's talking about. I'm living it. And when I listen to those songs, I feel so much better, knowing that I'm not the only one who feels this way. That I'm not the only one who's fighting inside. I listen to them everyday, when I sit against the wall at school looking up at the overcast sky, and when I feel so alone in my pain that I think I'm going to fall apart, I know that I'm not the only one feeling this. That I'm not alone. They are my heroes.

Must-see youtube videos

Here's a list of some youtube videos that you've absolutely, positively gotta see. Period.

1. Charlie the Unicorn 1, 2, 3. Yes. Three Videos of basically nothing. But it's hilarious. The third one is my favorite.

2. Spatula Madness. By the same person who made Charlie the Unicorn. Again, hilarious. And again, totally random...

3. Miss South Carolina. And you thought you were bad at geography...

4. Mario Kart Love Song. Cutest thing in the world. Unless you've never played the video game, because you won't have any idea what the dude is talking about.

That's just a couple, but I'll list some more later.

Jason the Sandwich

Jason wanted to be like all the other sandwiches. He was a turkey on whole grain with mayo, cheddar, and tomato. Nothing out of the ordinary. However, he had been cut into triangles. All the other sandwiches had been cut into rectangles. Jason was devastated.

Howl's Moving Castle

"Huh?" is usually the answer I receive when I mention the movie Howl's Moving Castle. It's pretty suprising actually, since it is a pretty amazing movie. For one, Christian Bale does the voice of Howl, and if Christian Bale is in it is automatically a great movie, hands down. Plus the music is beautiful. Piano is the way to go. I printed some of the music off the computer and I played and played and played...I love it. It's pretty challenging, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I wish I could play some for you...whoever you are. Oh, and the movie is a Japanese cartoon. That's probably why no one ever knows what I'm talking about...

Food

I love food! Especially junk food. I eat a bowl of ice cream every single day and somehow I stay skinny(well, compared to some people). Three cheers for high metabolism! Hip! Hip! Hurray! Maybe it's because I'm young, or maybe it's because I run two miles everyday. Or maybe a combination of both. All I know is that I eat junk and I love it. And I don't care if I have clogged arteries when I'm fifty because I don't intend to live that long.

I hate basketball

Well, I hate a lot of things. But what I hate the most is being forced to do things that are pointless, stupid, and a waste of time. Like basketball. Sure, there are those moments in a game when I pack someone, or get to take my anger out on some player by "accidently" beating them to a pulp. But what I really love is music. And my parents won't let me pursue it. They like it that I do music, but they seem to think that my dream is to be an all-star basketball player. I HATE IT!! It's such a freakin waste of time! I could be going somewhere with music right now if I didn't have to go to basketball practice for three hours a day. Geez....
