it's such a mad world , 8:00 PM

We live in such a mad world.

I find it really confusing sometimes.

(graphic by me)

hello there ! , 9:14 AM

Who knows where I am?

Aha, I'm at school! Yeah, our overprotective school board hasn't blocked blogger! What a surprise!

I'm pretty pleased.

Anyways, my question to myself is ... What has been the biggest step you've taken this year?

Sometimes I'm not sure. I think the biggest step that i've taken, would be learning how to ask for help. Sometimes, I can be a cocky person, and asking for help is hard for me. But when we started doing math, and I had no idea what we were talking about I had no choice. It's not my forte, but i've gotten used to the feeling of asking for help.

Another,

You are 10 years in the future. Write a letter to yourself.

Dear Simone,

We've done okay I think. There are times when you could've been a little smarter, and used a little more common sense, but overall, we're not too shabby. I think that we've gone through so many challenges and home and school, that we're not a child anymore. I don't think I was ever a child, and I don't really understand why. Why anybody had to go through what i've gone through, or anything thereof.

Please remember that you are a person with feelings, and showing feelings is not a shameful thing to do.

Peace. You've done okay, kid.

-Simone.

Just another example which goes to show that old habits die hard. (Another 2 minute Photoshop effort)

Who the hell cares whether you're gay? (homosexual, not stupid)
Is it really that much of a deal that you like the same gender?
Why would God create them, if the act of being homosexual is so horrible.
There's probably some crackpot of an answer going "It's their "call in liiiiiiifeee". Grow up.
I'm sorry, but I REALLY do not think God would create people differently, and create them so they can be rejected and shunned by the whole Catholic community. What IS that? No wonder we have so many transgenders these days, trying to take a shot a normality. Is the fact that we've created a gay sub-culture enough for you to understand? Understand that they're just trying to survive?

Peace.

my inner battle, 7:49 PM

I don't understand why people struggle so hard to defend things, then deny them when you confront them about it. I'll admit, I do it too. I can't sit and say I don't, Maybe it's a human thing. I wouldn't consider myself human.
"Peter, you will deny me three times before the rooster crows".
It's not something that you can just shout out there. I know you can't say you're a good Catholic, and try to combine other religions in there too, but sometimes I feel that I want to look at different ones. I can't help being interested in witchcraft, Ouija Boards, Tarot cards and mystical energy using. I know the Church forbids these things but it comes from my mother, who is a big influence on my life. I feel like two parts of my life are always struggling to claim me. The part where I'm very Catholic, religious extremist almost, and the part where I can't help but wonder if there IS God, Jesus, and others? I believe it, however like anybody, I have my doubts.
But in the end, Can I live my life saying to others "I tried my best"?
Or is, what I'm achieving and doing, my best?

Peace.

life's little truths according to me , 7:49 PM

So, I'm feeling crud today. Let's start out this blog with humor.

Oh, and that comic is the result of 2 minutes on Photoshop. (:

Oh, Simplicity hast never failed me.

LIFE'S TRUTH'S I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

There are two kinds of pedestrians -- the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys.

If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool. who said, "Quit while you're ahead?"

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Always get the last word in: Apologize.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

DRUMROLL PLEASE?

AND THE # 1 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You read about all these terrorists --- most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some for as long as 10 to 15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster... You are two days late with a video and those people are all over you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.
