Words to follow.

You're looking for something you can't find,
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind.
There's always something in your way.
But what can you say, you're gonna have a good day.


"Good Day" by The Click Five

Someday (new poem I wrote)

I know that you can’t be here tonight,
Even though it’s wrong, it feels so right.
I know how much you said you love me,
And I hate the way it turned out to be.
I know our emotions aren’t always the same,
But I know I feel the way I did the first day you came.
I know I always worry about what I’ll say,
If I were to see you again someday.

Stress.

It's an ugly word.
Why does it even exist?
Nothing good can come from it.

What would you do with 5 million dollars?

Think about it people. What would you do with 5 million dollars? I would:

• give money to family
• donate to charity
• buy some Yankees tickets
• travel to Austraila, Ireland, and Germany
• go on an Alaskan cruise
• pay for school

I'm sure I'll come up with more later.

It's not the end of the world if it bombs...right? It's not even that hard of a lesson; it's a read aloud. I hope it goes smoothly though! I can do this. I can do this.

Question of the Day - #5

#5 - If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?

I wouldn't want it to be released to the public. Arthritis isn't as serious as other things so it wouldn't be worth it; I'm not sure anything would be worth people dying over.

Push.

I was able to go to an advance screening of the movie Push tonight and here's what I thought. I won't give away any spoilers about the movie, but I will say that I thought it was really good. Now, incase you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a summary: This scifi action film involves a group of young American expatriates with telekinetic, telepathic, and clairvoyant abilities, hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency referred to as "Division." They try to find the only woman that ever escaped from "Division". She is their only key to finding out how to escape the agency. They must also use their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.

I liked the movie for a couple reasons: 1) It was different. I've never really seen anything with this type of storyline, and I liked that. 2) It dealt with scifi. I love scifi and seeing them have powers was really cool to watch (the effects were great!). 3) Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning did a great job together. At first, you might think they'd make a weird team, and in a way, they kind of did. However, I think that's why it worked so well. Plus, their acting was good too. 4) It was serious/funny in just the right amounts. There was very little humor, but when it happened, it worked. 5) It was just exciting! I was interested the entire time and was never bored. So overall, I thought it was pretty good. Now, if you don't really like scifi, I'm not sure you'll enjoy this film as much, but I still think you would like it; it had a little something for everyone.

Tomorrow has come.

Tomorrow I will interning in a Kindergarten classroom; the day has finally come. I'm a little nervous, not gonna lie. I think I'm the most nervous about actually getting there and finding the school. I have no idea where the school is, and I've never even heard of it until about 4 hours ago. Good luck to me!

Vampire neighbor?

Okay. I am about 58% sure the guy who lives in the apartment above me is a vampire. 'Why do you think he's a vampire?' you might ask. Good question. Well, first off, the guy never sleeps. I go to bed at 1:00am, he's up. I'll wake up around 5:00am (for randomness), I'll still hear noises (and the guy is loud too!). Then I'll wake up around 8:00am, and guess who's up? Yep, good guess. Secondly, he coughs like he's about to throw up every day of every week. Okay, that may not have anything to do with the fact he's a vampire, but it's really annoying! Anyway, even as I write this, I can hear him making noise. Like I said: never sleeps. So I've come to my conclusion: definitely a vampire.

Question of the Day - #4

#4 - If you could spend one year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience, would you do so? If not, why not?

I probably wouldn't do it. I don't think that my life is that bad right now anyway, and everything would be great if I were to do that, but not being able to remember any of it after is not really worth it in the end. I would want things to continue in perfect happiness, and I know after a year it would be difficult to have to give that up so why even do it in the first place. Life is full of craziness, but we learn to live with it, and sometimes that's what can make life fun.
