baby i was born this wayyyy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzE1mX4Px0I
now, i'm not complaining. not even a LITTLE.

it seems like every time i turn on the radio nowdays (which, honestly, is not often) within the first hour of having it on, i hear at LEAST one song about feeling good about yourself.

WHAT HAS OUR WORLD COME TO?! I'M SO HAPPY.

seriously. it used to be all RAPPING AND GUNS AND SHOOTING PEOPLE AND SEX IN CLUBS. and now it's all 'feel good about yourself because you ROCK.' 

maybe i'll start listening to the radio more often... if only they played disney songs :p


songs that make one feel good about oneself:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzE1mX4Px0I - who says by selena gomez and the scene

A Master

"A person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their their religion. They hardly know which is which, and simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace, whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are doing both," - some random zen guy.

To me, this quote means that if one loves what one is doing, it's hard for one to distinguish between work&play, and even harder for others to distinguish it.

RIP :(

RIP Connor Menning.
I didn't know you.
Hell, I went to a different school than you.
I don't know why you killed yourself.
All I know is that you did.
And I know that life sucks sometimes.
And so does the human race.
I just wish you hadn't had to take your own life.
I'm sorry buddy.
I wish somehow, we could go back in time and stop it from happening.
So even though I didn't know you, you're going to be sorely missed. By all.
We'll all wear purple tomorrow to honor you and the loss we've suffered, even those of us who didn't know you.
So RIP, Connor Menning.

So far I have Sherlock Holmes, The Princess Bride(is that a classic??), Grimm's fairy tales,  Rip van Winkle & the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The War of the Worlds.

Can y'all think of any others?

I am me. Plain and simple.

Try and change that and I might just punch you in the head. Now remember before you read this post that I am bisexual. And damn proud of it.
This post is mostly because my best friend recently texted me saying that her mother told her that people who are gay and lesbian are "wrong" and "messed up". And when my best friend said that she didn't believe that's true, her mother responded with 'when you're standing at Heaven's gate, you're going to regret it.'
When I simply replied to the text with 'woooow. well other than that what's up?' she seemed kind of surprised and said "you don't even care that she said any of that?"
My response was simple.
I do care. But I know that I'm not messed up or wrong even if people think I am. I know I'm perfect the way I am. And I know that even if people do think it about other people, it's not true. So I'm not going to let it bother me.
Because I am me.
Plain and simple.

Christmastiiiime is heeeeere

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas :D
Some friends and I are getting together this coming Saturday and walking through the mall, arms linked, Singing Christmas carols. I'm super excited! We're even gonna do a flash mob like thing (we're hoping). If we do, we're gonna pull an Elf. One us is going to jump up on a chair randomly, and start singing Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, then someone else will join in, then someone else, and so on and so forth, until (hopefully) the whole food court is singing! Someone (probably my little brother) is gonna film it, so look out for the video on my youtube channel!
I dunno if we need some sort of permit for this, but I'm planning on going to the mall either tonight or tomorrow night with a friend to ask if we do.
What are you guys doing for the holidays? Are you going somewhere? Staying home? Lemme know!

Happy holidays, everyone!
