Finding the Caterpillar
slow down. is where you need to be REALLY that important? life or death importance? people are always rushing through life with a blatant disregard for the little things around them. for once, look at something with a photographers eye. find the perfect picture. listen with a musicians ear. write the perfect melody. do with an sculptors touch. create the perfect piece. savor what you’ve got...
Status Quo
What’s hip, rad, or cool? Who’s to say? Its not always about what someone is wearing or how cute something is. People are always tagged by others becuse of what they look like on the outside, not who they really are on the inside. The “jocks” and the “perppy” kids hang together, the “nerds” and the “geeks,” the “goths” and the...
Achivements
Life, such a complex thing, with chemicals, electrical signals, and impulses all being controlled by the brain. We use ten percent of our brains. Instead of trying to unlock the full potential of them we squander our precious existence here watching violent cartoons, playing violent video games, and committing violent acts.

I write this because I think people need to understand not all of us are bad people. We dont get the fair chance that we deserve. Its the womanizing “popular” kids that show the bad side of...
Fitting the Mold
For a minute dont do, just be. see how it feels. sit in silence, no ipods or text messages just nothing. relaxation is a state of mind, not just being… todays world is too caught up in the moment to understand why. why we do always try to impress our piers and why the latest fashion or fads? some of you may say why not, but i think those who answer that way need to listen to themselves. its...
Disgust
im feeling just what the title says. not only am i being ignored now, im also being given no credit for any ideas i voice. i have to put up with being lonely and the constant making out, but this is beginning to go far. as i type this i hear, “of course you’ll be at graduation, everyone wants to meet you.” these posts will probably become much more frequent and im considering...
