Sleep Forever

Don't you ever feel that way? That you just want to sleep forever, letting everything go. Or, just drop everything and leave? Never looking back, never reminiscing, just letting it all go. You never have to worry about a thing again.
It will be peaceful. Quiet. Calm.

All the pain and worries will be gone. Never will tears fall because of someone. Never will angry words be exchanged. Troubles will disappear. Everything will be fine.

But is that what I really want? I spend hours thinking about him, dreaming about what could be, when in reality, I know it is not
possible.

A New Beginning

Seneca once said, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." As a second semester senior, I have already experienced the beginning of an end: my high school career. In less than half a year, I will be graduating from high school. I will be moving onto a new stage in life, something more real.

Doesn't that scare you sometimes? You cannot control how fast life is going, yet you cannot stay in the same place either. Either you keep on going or you will get left behind. In the end, it all comes down to one thing: Are you willing to go for what you believe in? Or do you just want the easy way out?

Personally, I would hit every obstacle I ever come to right in the face. I have long learned one thing: things end because new things are starting. It may end forever, but the times you have had are ones that you will never forget. Live in the present. Look forward. Remember the past, but don't dwell there.

The Things We Carry

A dark mass moves in unison as a noise erupts from the eerie silence. It gathers in rows and moves in a formation, parts of it going up, parts of it going down. In less than five minutes, the dark mass separates into individual particles, each going in a separate place. Each day, every fifty-five minutes, this switch happens. For one hundred and eighty days a year, for four years, twelve years in total.

They called us teenagers and students. But really, we were more like soldiers.

Don't Censor Us!

I want all my readers to do one thing: go on Google and search up something, something like Criminal Minds (I am obsessed with that show) and choose the Wikipedia option.

Dun dun~ blackout. Boom.


SOPA is going to restrict our freedom. Think China. That's what Congress wants to do to us. Americans will lose one of the most sacred and most treasured right that we have long had.

If restricting our internet use is the first step, what's next? Freedom, liberty, justice. If we let SOPA and PIPA pass, our freedom of speech will basically be revoked. Congress say they are only respecting the copyright owners.

The question is: is that what it really will do? Or will SOPA cause censorship in America's most basic right, which is the freedom of speech? Think that over. Think carefully. Because if not, then well, we might all just pack our bags and move to China. Cheers.

Music Video

Short snippet today, just a quick update; my first music video is now completed. Five hours of movie editing, six hours of audio editing, 11 hours total. Two days. Four hours of sleep on Wednesday, three hours on Thursday. I now look like a raccoon. And act like a chimpanzee. Think screaming, yelling, going crazy monkey with means of weapons and such.
JK :D Well, not totally, because some stuff are real. Like my lack of sleep and looking like a raccoon. But in general, I am just really proud of myself. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nvICCCyaHDw

Last Day of School This Year

Guess what? :) Yup, it's the last day of the school this year! Yay!...I still have another six months left. But at the same time, it's very exciting. I'm starting my own movie, music video, and other things that I can't wait to go through with.

Today was a nice day. I got to spend it with my favorite people and it was really sweet. Although I didn't get too much done, I did get a critical shot for my movie in; that compensated for my lack of productivity for the past few days. Maybe weeks...months? I don't know. I just don't feel up to it anymore.

Anyway, thanks to special someone, that shot is done and can be put in the trailer. I am very excited about and cannot wait to be done because it is awesome. But I must do Christmas shopping and gifts as I have not done them yet. Clean my room, my desk, my computer, my life, everything. I am honestly a mess. Once I get myself cleaned up, I can wipe my slate clean and start afresh in the coming New Year.

Good night and sweet dreams; I am going to start a dream journal now. Toodles.

What has our world become?

I remember in childhood, everything was amazing. Life was easy. Nothing was troubling, unless you forgot your lunch at home or something.

But as you grow older, you realize how messed up this world is. Honestly, we are one messed up civilization. If you believe that animals are cannibals or if they eat each other, it's messed up, think again.

I would rather be eaten by my father (some lions eat their babies) than live through what many young teenagers go through.
I see friends, classmates, people I do not know, go through emotional suffering and abuse. That alone can kill anyone faster than any bacteria.

What makes us different from other animals is our compassion, our love, our affection, all which are more emotional than any other species that we know of. Yet we use that to our advantage, to hurt, to destroy others. Why do we do this?

Does it not make you want to cry when you see something like this happen? Why can we not see what monsters we have become? We laugh when someone else is the one being bullied. We giggle and make rude comments behind their backs. But in turn, what if it is us who are the victim? How will that work out? What would we feel?

Do you know what it means to be the one being hurt? The one who you have no one to talk to, no one to love, no one to care about? No one who cares about you? It hurts. And that destroys us. Destroys many of us.

I am going to start taking a stand. Stop what we have become. It is not too late to turn around. It's never too late. If we all start taking a stance now, we may have a chance to do something, change something. The question is: Are you willing to take that chance?

This boy did. Even if the video is fake, it still makes the same point: Bullying is not a simple thing. He made an impact regarding the issue of bullying that many would not dare to try. There were both positive and negative responses but that is not the point. He did something no one else tried to do. He touched the heart of many people, angered many others. The video has gone viral. He led the way to change the world. And I am going to join him. Are you with me?
