Family and friends are such a blessing.
I move around a lot. I feel like I leave people behind all the time. People I really really care about and are important to me.
Today, one of the people I care about, and had built a good friendship with, and who I now consider my cousin came down for the day. It is so awesome, that even though there are years between the times we have seen each other, we can catch up and build our friendship. I miss them, my family back home, but it was so good to see Laura today, and see where life has been going for her and them. They really are special.
And I learned an interesting story.
By great aunt. (grandfather's uncle's wife) had some courage. Her name was Ruth.
Way back in the 40's, she and a couple of her friends got into a car and drove up to Alaska. There were four of them. She stayed in Alaska, for the rest of her life. Just 4 girls. Drove up to Alaska. By themselves. Before anything existed in Alaska. I come from some sturdy stalk.

So, I got an awesome Galaxy note 10.1 for Christmas. It is one of the coolest things out there on the market, however it can't quite handle the amount of homework I have and is not smart enough to do so. It also is not compatible with everything that my Laptop and Ipod do. So, I thought it was too extravagant of an item for me to have.
What I wanted was an Ipod touch, but I sound like an idiot when I say that.
There are so many tablets out there, there are so many electronic wifi products out there. There is so many ways that we can connect to the cloud, but I just want a small little rinky dink Ipod touch.
As I was standing there, looking at all the amazing technology that we have, thinking how awesome it is, and how much I want to be able to use all of it. I just couldn't help but think there is too much. Whatever I buy will overlap, but not completely replace a device I already have.
So, I decided to go with what felt comfortable, and what felt not extravagant and a little behind the times.
Also, a few days ago we watched the Hobbit part 2. I felt let down. The movie was great and all, but there were a lot of times in the movie that I thought "this wasn't part of the book". I feel like the integrity of the story gets muddled in the changes they make in the storyline, and it kind of let's me down a little bit. I just love the book so much.

Some cool poems I like
When All the World Is Full of Snow
~ N. M. Bodecker
I never know
just where to go,
when all the world
is full of snow.
I do not want
to make a track,
not even
to the shed and back.
I only want
to watch and wait,
while snow moths settle
on the gate,
and swarming frost flakes
fill the trees
with billions
of albino bees.
I only want
myself to be
as silent as
a winter tree,
to hear the swirling
stillness grow,
when all the world
is full of snow.

Sunflakes
By Frank Asch
If sunlight fell like
snowflakes,
gleaming yellow and so bright,
we could build a sunman,
we could have a sunball fight,
we could watch the sunflakes
drifting in the sky.
We could go sleighing
in the middle of July
through sundrifts and sunbanks,
we could ride a sunmobile,
and we could touch sunflakes—
I wonder how they'd feel.
Oliphaunt
Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.

Brontosaurus Poem
Garil Kredenser
The giant brontosaurus
Was a prehistoric chap
With four fat feet to stand on
And a very skimpy lap.
The scientists assure us
Of a most amazing thing -
A brontosaurus blossomed
When he had a chance to sing!
(The brigger brontosauruses,
Who like to sing in choruses,
Would close their eyes
And harmonize
And sing most anything.)
They growled and they yowled,
They deedled and they dummed;
They warbled and they whistled,
The howled and they hummed.
They didn't eat, they didn't sleep;
They sang and sang all day.
Now all you'll find are footprints
Where they tapped the time away!

I saw a little girl I hate
And kicked her with my toes.
She turned
And smiled
And KISSED me!
Then she punched me in the nose.
John, Tom, and James
by Charles Henry Ross
John was a bad boy, and beat a poor cat;
Tom put a stone in a blind man’s hat;
James was the boy who neglected his prayers;
They’ve all grown up ugly, and nobody cares.
Tom put a stone in a blind man’s hat;
James was the boy who neglected his prayers;
They’ve all grown up ugly, and nobody cares.
There was a little girl
There was a little girl,
Who
had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her
forehead.
When
she was good,
She
was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was
horrid.
Queenie
Queenie’s strong and Queenie’s tall.
You should see her bat a ball,
Ride a bike, or climb a wall.
(Queenie’s not her name at all.)
Queenie’s nimble, Queenie’s quick.
You should see her throw a stick,
Watch her saw a board that’s thick,
See her do a tumbling trick.
Queenie’s not afraid like me,
Of snakes or climbing up a tree.
( I think that’s why boys agree,
Queenie’s what her name should be.)

JABBERWOCKY
Lewis Carroll
(from Through
the Looking-Glass and What Alice
Found There, 1872)
`Twas
brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Feelings About Words
By Mary O’Neill
Some words clink
As ice in a drink.
Some move with grace
A dance, a lace.
Some sound thin:
Wail, scream and pin.
Some words are squat:
A mug, a pot,
And some are plump,
Fat, round and dump.
Some words are light:
Drift, lift, and bright.
A few are small:
A, is and all.
And some are thick,
Glue, paste and brick.
Some words are sad:
“I never had ….”
And others gay:
Joy, spin and play.
Some words are sick:
Stab, scratch and nick.
Some words are hot:
Fire, flame and shot.
Some words are sharp,
Sword, point and carp.
And some alert:
Glint, glance and flirt.
Some words are lazy:
Saunter, hazy.
And some words preen:
Pride, pomp and queen.
Some words are quick,
A jerk, a flick.
Some words are slow:
Lag stop and grow,
While others poke
As ox and yoke.
Some words can fly---
There’s wind, there’s high;
And some words cry:
“Goodbye…
Goodbye….”
Christmas 2013

Hey,
This Christmas two of my siblings are off having adventures of their own on their missions. So, we had my two younger brothers and the one who is married brought his wife.
The Christmas break started with a luncheon my mother and I had with our really really close friend and her mother who used to babysit my two younger siblings and me. Mom used the GPS on her phone to get us there, however we didn't want to go the "shorter way" because it included tolls. So, we were driving old-fashioned using the map to guide is through neighborhoods and back-roads. When we got to a point where we knew it would be shorter to just go the "non-toll" way we switched the GPS and started using it's directions, only to find out that it wanted to take us ALL the way back to the "toll way". I think there is a conspiracy between the government- using tolls, and GPS equipment. They just want our money.
Lunch was a lot of fun. I had not seen my babysitter in over 15 years. But I do remember her. The time was too short to catch up, but it was defiantly nice to sit and chat and have quite a few laughs.
Then the next day, I convinced my younger brother to use a blackhead removal sticky-pad for his nose. I can say it worked because I saw the gunk on the paper at the end, but it didn't get 3/4 of the needed gunk.
During the break we all went to see the Museum of Art in Houston. It was fun and there were a lot of things to see. I love art and painting, however, I think I am really picky. There were a few pieces that I loved. And then there were a lot of naked people, which I try to stay away from.
We were looking at classical and colonial pieces and noticed how thoroughly detailed they are. I have never noticed it before. I am horrible at painting people and as I was looking at these pieces I could see how the "shading" to depict people isn't necessarily shading, but using an array of skin colors to depict the 3-D nature. It was an eye opening moment and I realized how novice my painting skills are.
We also went to the Science Museum in Houston. OH MY GOSH, Loved it! there was so much to see and so much to learn. It is a little sad that science museums mostly cater to children, but there is still knowledge to learn as an adult. I got to see a few cool things about the elements and I got to see a real periodic table with compartments to hold the actual element in what we see every day. However, most of the periodic elements had just bottles with labels because their element is unstable.
AND WE GOT TO SEE DINOSAURS. I never really could conceive mentally how HUGE they were. The bugs back in the day were the size of humans. there was a bear skeleton next to a dinosaur for size reference, granted it wasn't a Kodiak grizzly, but the Dinosaur's skeleton would fill up 5 rooms. And there were a lot of tree rounds. I have always loved learning about really really REALLY old things. It was awesome and I wish we had more time, or rather more feet stamina.
We also got to see a TON of Gems. This one above is called "the dragon" it is a dragon naturally made out of pure Gold. I learned that I really really like dark colored gems. The ones that are dark blue, sapphire, or purple.
Then, the next say we drove to San Antonio.
I always assumed that the Alamo was in the middle of the dessert. You had to drive 40 min out of the city to get to it.
But no, it was right next door to the hotel we stayed at. It was pretty awe inspiring. There was so much death. It was sad and reverent as we walked through.
We also got to walk around the river walk. We walked the river-walk twice. Once during the day and once at night. We also got a boat ride. I thought it was worth the money to ride. We got to learn about the buildings and the city during the ride. It was a lot more interesting than just walking around. And it was more entertaining. Our guide (Michael) was pretty darn funny as well.
We went to go eat at this place called Chris Madrid's, because we wanted a heart attack. Just kidding. Someone had told us about it and so we waned to try it out. When we drove up, it was sketch, but the food was awesome. My mom and I shared a burger with re-fried beans and a tortilla on the cheese and beef. Looked weird, tasted AMAZING.
My brother has some difficulty processing food. SO I had to make him jog in place to release gas before we got into a metal tube that would quickly become gas filled and we would all die from the stench. He didn't believe that it would work, but at-last he complied, and it took 5 seconds of jogging to release the toxins. And it worked, boy it worked.
We just so happened to be in front of a cathedral at the time. It was quite disrespectful.
p.s. mom fed me a green drink today.

we also went to another mission in San Antonio called San Jose. That mission was huge, and it was pretty darn cool. There was a mill in the back that was engineered pretty ingenious and the shape of the mission was pretty cool too. But mostly it was peaceful. It was just a calming homestead like place.
Oh, and we visited this place called Bucc-es. It's everything you could ever dream of in a gas station, and more. There were red and green lights above the bathroom stalls. It was a gas station the size of a grocery store.
The next day, when we got back, we had a thousand dollars of fresh salmon and halibut thawed on our front door. It was supposed to arrive 5 days before, and it was supposed to stay frozen. However, it arrived on a Sunday and it was thawed. Which was weird and also upsetting. We spent about 10 hours canning it, because otherwise it would go bad. My new sister in law got quiet the lesson about canning and subsistence living. And she got her hands fishy.
We also went shooting. We have a few pistols and I am determined to become a good shot with mine. However, I shot with our 44 mag revolver. It screwed up my shots for a bit. That thing kicks and is supper loud!
Today is Christmas,
we got to talk to my siblings who are away from home at the movement. My sister loves Germany. Apparently they still put candles on the tree. Her tree caught fire twice during our Skype session.
My brother is struggling in Az a little bit, but I think he is learning and having quite some experiences. Today he went to a catholic mass. It's the first thing he said. "I dunno why people think Mormons are weird, I went to a catholic mass this morning, it was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Ever."
Merry Christmas Everyone!
An awesome Track I listened to today:
November 10, 2013
The Big Bang Theory
I found this show on the plane actually. I can never sleep on the
plane. Well, I Love this show, absolutely love it. Now, I am by no means
smart in any sort of the intellectually inclined term, but I do
identify with Sheldon a bit. Mostly in the introverted comments or lack
of social protocol that he emanates.
So, I was thinking why nerd-geniuses stereotypically like sci-fi and fantasy genre, and how this may be out of character from the realist that nerd-geniuses are. Well, it is not necessarily because it is realistic, it is the fact that there are rules. Everything has a rule, a law that it must follow to exist. Most sci-fi or fantasy creates their own laws or principles in which their terms exist. This creates a reality that is understandable. But because it is creative in work it is also open for interpretations, ergo (lol) the debates and discussions and all the fun in reality. Each person allowed their own reality that is feasible because it follows its own laws and principles.

The Skinny
I SO badly want to be skinny. I was once and it was a lot of work,
but I want to be skinny now. That is the problem, it takes SO long and I
just have the hardest time doing it. I do have a tendency to become
slightly OCD, well the people I lived with in high school would take out
the word "slightly".
Now, I do not have a problem with eating fruits and vegetables. I do not have a problem with eating food low in sugar and low in fat. I do not have a problem with exercising. The fact is that I am lazy. I give up with the consistency and I beat myself up.
First I see me in a photo and I realize how FAT I really am. Like a bunch of marshmallows. I realize that I am really fat and need to loose weight. I remember how hard it is and how much pain it takes. Then I look at what I wish I was. Let's face it. It would take more than a full time job to become that. I am just not willing to put all that pain and agony in it.
I keep planning, I keep putting rules down, and I still fail. I fail, I fail, I fail. But I want, want, and want to be skinny. How do I do it without all the headaches?
One day it will happen.

Alaska
I
spent my childhood and adolescent years in The Great Land and loved it,
every minute of it. There are many and many more things I have learned
from growing up in such a place. The first is to Always carry a pocket
knife, to dress for the weather, and if you freeze it is your own
stinking fault. I also learned that hard work is vital for survival.
While I can not say that I am a true outdoors person, one that can take off in the middle of the week with a backpack of food and clothes, matches, sleeping bag, a knife, and some rope, I can say that I have learned a little bit about the outside world. I believe that meat should have had a full life in it's natural habitat. I also thing that plants should be grown in a relatively normal way. That harvest is a family matter and that everyone works together. That the basic routines of life are a team task, and that even if the weather is bleak or it is pitch black outside, real life still goes on and you still have to work.
I also learned what beauty is simple and uninhabited. What water really tastes like. The color of true green and the stages of cold.

To Begin
As an introduction: I travel a little bit, I paint a little bit, I
watch a few TV shows, I read a lot, I listed to music a lot, I think a
lot, I play a few sports a little bit, I bike often, I yell often, I sit
quietly often, I hang out with friends sometimes, sometimes I write
poetry, sometimes I do homework, sometimes I surf the Internet, I have
opinions about some things and not about others, I like culture, I like
to eat, I like to learn, I like wit, I like to sleep in some mornings, I
like to stay up late, I like to create, I like to daydream, I like to
plan, and sometimes I blog.
Many times I feel that my thoughts get overwhelming, I can not keep track of everything that is on my mind at the moment. This is why I believe in paper and pens. These two items are vital to my survival. But this takes up a lot of desk space. If you saw my desk- there is not much space. Now, a simple and reasonable solution to the predicament is to go digital. Therefore this is a perfect space to jot down a few thoughts here and there.
You see life is kind of a funny thing. One moment the whole world is predicated upon just a few things in life, but after a few years these vital things are unimportant and a new situation of life has placed itself in front of you. Sometimes we forget all that we have learned previously, or those humorous situations that brighten the day, or other.
Thus it is a journal or diary that will definitely survive.

Animal Crackers In My Soup Lyrics Lyrics/Music T.Koehler & I.Caesar/R.Henderson Once Mother said My litle pet you ought to learn your alphabet So in my soup I used to get All the letters of the alphabet I learned them all from A to Z And now my Mothers giving me ------ Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh oh gee but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one In every bowl of soup I see Lions and Tigers watching me I make 'em jump right through a hoop Those animal crackers in my soup When I get hold of the big bad wolf I just push him under to drown Then I bite him in a million bits And I gobble him right down When their inside me where its dark I walk around like Noahs Arc I stuff my tummy like a goop With animal crackers in my soup Animal crackers in my soup Do funny things to me They make me think my neighbourhood Is a big menagerie For instance there's our Janitor His name is Mr Klein And when he Hollers at us kids He reminds me of a Lion The Grocer is so big and fat He has a big moustache He looks just like a Walrus Just before he takes a splash
And...
Animal Crackers
By: Christopher Morley
Animal crackers and cocoa to drink,
That is the finest of suppers, I think;
When I'm grown up and can have what I please
I think I shall always insist upon these.
What do you choose when you're offered a treat?
When Mother says, "What would you like best to eat?"
Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?
It's cocoa and animals that I love the most!
The kitchen's the coziest place that I know:
The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow,
And there in the twilight, how jolly to see
The cocoa and animals waiting for me.
Daddy and Mother dine later in state,
With Mary to cook for them, Susan to wait;
But they don't have nearly as much fun as I
Who eat in the kitchen with Nurse standing by;
And Daddy once said he would like to be me
Having cocoa and animals once more for tea!

So much more than art
A friend of mine was showing me some really great art. I know she has
impeccable taste, but I was surprised by what I saw. I have seen many
of the pieces done by Carl Bloch before but after a quick glance at
quite a few of his pieces all together, something really hit me. Sure
the art is great, great techniques, color, form, etc... but that is not
what makes it IT. Its the feeling. How can you paint something that has
so much felling and I only saw the piece for five seconds?
I want to be an artist just so I can figure this out. So I can find the answer to my question.

It's amazing.
So something has been really bothering me for about a decade. In middle school I used to idolize this photographer that made AMAZING pictures. I would look through this book, and all I could remember about it was that the last name had something to do with gold. But today- After many failed attempts to search it out- I FIGURED it out!
The name is Andy Goldsworthy. He is his own artist and his own photographer. See this art is not about nature, it is not about creating a piece of art, it's about how everything works together and in a moment it is beautiful then it goes away replaced with something else beautiful. At least that is what I think.

Whining
It doesn't matter what language you are speaking. When you whine it still sounds like whining.
