blogging is hard! xD

I've always wanted to be completely fluent in a section of specialized jargon. I've thought about maybe sailor jargon, how cool would that be? Or super technical and scientific jargon (is it offensive to call science terms jargon?) or even just internet jargon (how many times have I said jargon in the last 10 seconds?) haha.

Anyways. What's new in my life? I went to see Sherlock Holmes last night. I love movies. I really do. It was super cool, the way it was all so dark and shadow-y. It was filmed in London, and I heart London. yeah, I heart it.

Life lessons....

Do not talk about ANYTHING at a cafeteria table. If possible, avoid them all together. You know when you're sitting there, sippin on your mystery soup of the day? and you can hear that loser two tables up babbling on about something you probably shouldn't be listening to? It's funny right? Well, maybe, but it sucks when that rambling fool turns into you. Highschool drama sucks, especially when you're involved in it.

other life lesson.... EXPRESS YOURSELF. I don't think there is anything worse than living in the shadow of what "could've" or "should've" or even "might" or "maybe" have happened. You live life one day at a time, one microsecond ticking after each and every microsecond. You have big dreams, and little dreams. Please don't be afraid of the big ones. I read in a book last Friday... something along the lines of don't be afraid of big dreams that will take time to complete because "the time will pass anyway"

bam.

five words. That is SO true! It makes SENSE doesn't it? You always feel silly making these big life plans with 100 and 50 thousand steps, and you know it will take forever to complete. But life is forever, but life DOES pass. Am I making sense? Probably not. But that sentence did. It really made me think.

Also, I was talking with my friend (what should HIS codename be? wicked awesome deadly? WAD? lol... my math teacher use to say that... ahahah, it doesn't sound very pleasant. wad.. ) anyways, me and WAD were just talking about life, and for the purpose of this entry it doesn't matter how it came up in conversation :P but he said... something along the lines of... "I know, people there are no fun. They complain about how there is nothing to do, but they don't DO anything about it"

bam.

more than five words, but still a very powerful statement. and again, so TRUE. People DO complain about anything and everything, and it's very seldom, however small the action they take, that they choose to take any action at all.

so I was thinking pretty hard the other day about "time passing" and "doing anything" about it. sorry for all the quotations ... and I realized that it's too easy to fall into habit. Go to sleep. Wake up. Brush your teeth. Go to school. Get yelled at for something or another. Eat Lunch. Avoid Caf tables. (haha) and fragment after boring fragment. I don't want to fall into the habit of routine-ing my time away. Every day is a new day, and it is our responsibility to distinguish each Tuesday from the other. We should all be going to bed satisfied that we could write a three page recount of the previous day. And not have it full of bullshit, or the word "chillin'"

My new task, officially, is to make sure I have one note-worthy event for everyday I wake up. I'm going to document it, maybe take a picture? or at least have a quote. (tying this back to where this point came from) I have to EXPRESS some sort of emotion. I refuse to live in routine. (mindless routine) I'm not going to stop brushing my teeth, don't worry.... But, you know? It's awful how an entire week can go by and you can't even comment on something that made you laugh.

so... tying this back more clearly to where the original point was. I'm going to make sure I EXPRESS MYSELF everyday. I will not let routine rule me, and I will take risks and fight battles in order to make memories.

I've ventured off on several different tangents... but hopefully the main point is clear.

Don't go to bed until you know you've done something different than yesterday. Make sure you can tell yourself that you took each opportunity that presented itself into careful and serious consideration before disregarding or responding to it. Live in the moment, don't ignore the micro-seconds, and at the same time don't forget about the bigger picture. Remember time WILL pass, but don't let it pass passively. EXPRESS each moment with extreme passion. Because there is no such thing as re-living. You can re-visit and re-experience, but once ten billion microseconds are gone, they aren't coming back.

LIVE LIFE TO THE UTMOST FULLEST. NO EXCUSES OR DOCTOR'S NOTES ACCEPTED.
