sometimes you just gotta play some amazing songs and rock out. i mean really let lose and have some clean fun! this weekend i helped at a jr. high winter camp and we played some great music like "Kung fu Fighting" and just had a blast. no one cared if anyone was a good dancer or not, we just busted out our moves! the girls in my cabin begged to have another dance party so we sang some random songs and were completely silly dancing around the cabin in our pajamas!

i think all too often people grow old too fast and not the good kind of old. instead they tend to stop having fun, slowly letting go of enjoying life. i wonder how much happier people would be if they took the time to do something they love and be silly every once in a while.

oh yeah, you should definetly check out pandora.com if you haven't yet! you can create your own music station to your taste and dance the night away!

those things we call dreams

once again another creation by me, it's pretty!

everyone has them. those little hopes and dreams that we hold on to so tightly. i wonder how many people towards the end of their lives actually have achieved any of them. i wonder how many of those things we do achieve are worth it in the long run. now i'm no philosopher or anything, but still i wonder and question.

i think it's so funny how people will make new year's resolutions and break them within the first week or so. nearly everyone seems to put down "exercise more" or "lose weight" and yet very few are willing to do what it takes, are willing to give up something to have something. this year is the first year that i can remember that i have actually kept my new year's resolution. well, actually it wasn't a resolution really. more of a simple decision. one day in the first week of this year, i just decided that i wanted to start running. and i did. since then i go running four days a week and sometimes less and sometimes more. but consistently four days a week. it was like when i decided to stop biting my finger nails, i just... stopped. maybe it's just me? i think i came to a point when one desire (to start running or stop biting my nails) overcame my other desire (sitting around or biting my nails). lol. i wonder what it's like for other people?

i wonder why people do somethings and not others? like why some people will never make their dreams reality and won't even try? and yet others turn their hopes into living things. i wonder what the difference is for each person. maybe conflicting values, other hopes, or responsibilities? the list certainly could go on. maybe they weren't real dreams or real hopes at all, maybe they were just wishes.

today has been so busy. all i want to do is go running, after all it stopped raining! i'm so happy, i just wish that my class projects could wait longer too. sometimes i think that we all need a reminder to focus on the things that are more important, like our relationships and our well-being. either way i know that i get distracted. the sad part? my profs won't buy that argument. :)

picture by me, i'm proud of it!

Oh So Pretty

Raining From A Big Grey Sky

2009-02-17T17:05:00.000-08:00

It's raining finally. Big drops of cool water. I feel bad because all of the poor worms are trying not to drown. The birds are so funny too, some are taking bathes in the pooled waters. I know this sounds odd, but winter has finally arrived. Where I am, it has been dry for far too long! I even experienced some early summer weather- in February and January! It's a delight to have the rains come and wash everything clean and give the earth a good long drink. Hmmm... makes everyone seem sleepy though.

Today I read a note my friend wrote. He has some of the best provocative questions- and not in the smutty way, but the way that creates thought and new ideas that bubble up in your brain. He's one of those kinds of people who won't talk much, but when he does finally it's either something incredibly thoughtful and wise or straight up funny. I guess that is why I decided to write a blog, to try to put my thoughts into words. Most of the time, my mind ponders so many things but I can never find the way for me to communicate them to others. I know I won't be like my friend, but I'll be doing my own thing in my own clumsy way. Hope you enjoy these thoughts, dreams, and silly tidbits too.
