drama

I hate drama...and I don't mean theater or tv drama...just real-life drama...that is useless and based on the most unimportant things. I always try to lead a drama-free life and I avoid to spark up any sort of conflict at any cost...but why is it that certain people just feel like it is necessary to have drama in their lives, and then start shit with others? I don't understand it...why can't people just get along all the time? Maybe because we are all different from each other...but can't we just talk like mature adults and get through those differences and just be friends? I don't know...maybe some people just can't handle it...but all I know is I hate drama...it just makes me feel sick to my stomach...and it needs to go away!

graphic novel

So I've been wanting to work on something for a while now, a graphic novel...a.k.a. "comic book." However, I suck at drawing, so I really need someone who can make the illustrations for my stories. I'm planning on doing something fantasy, sci-fi or maybe horror...or a combination of all 3...or something like that. I dont really wanna do a comic book-like thing, I wanna do a novellla or a series of chapters of a larger work, which will contain illustrations on every page or evey other page...so it will be different than the conventional comic book style, so it will be more like an illustrated novel, except that like in the manner of a comic book, it will be a series of events that chronicles a larger story...ok, I don't know if I'm making myself clear...but still, I need someone who can draw and is willing to do so...no money involved probably...hahaha, since unless this would get published some way or another, there is no way I would have money to pay the person to begin with. I just wanna do this for fun, and maybe money will come afterwards...who knows? Anyone up for the job?

snow

so I'm looking out my window...and all I see is snow. Does this mean classes are gonna be canceled tomorrow? that would be pretty sweet!

spring break

so this year I wanna do something with my friends for spring break. I'm tired of always going away with my family, and since this year I'm not doing that, it would be a great opportunity to hang out with my friends and get away to somewhere fun. I dont really care where I go or what I do, because as long as I'm with my friends I know I'll have a great time. So yeah, spring break at MU is the first week of march, not so long from now...so we should make plans. If you got any reasonable ideas, please leave a comment.

ghost hunting

so today is my day off, and since I didnt have to leave my house all I've been doing is watching a marathon of Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel...yeah, I know...its pretty dorky. Anyways, I always been interested in the paranormal for some reason, especially in this kind of paranormal activity. So I wonder if this show is just one big hoax in attempt of gaining tv ratings for the SciFi channel, or is TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) a real organization that does spend a large amount of their time and money dedicating themselves to the study of paranormal activity such as ghost  hauntings. There isn't much that scares me in this world, even though as a child I used to be afraid of the dark, but it was more of a fear of what could be hiding in the dark. I think that over the years my fear of the paranormal became more of a curiosity and an appreciation of paranormal activity; and as much as I might sound like a geek...I would love to go on my own ghost chasing adventures. I think it would be pretty awesome to get to experience something as making contact with something like a spirit, because it may provide with some proof of a certain afterlife or give me some answers about what happens when you die. Maybe I have always had these fascinations with the paranormal, especially ghosts...but I guess I'll have to find out for myself, and go on a ghost hunt to satiate my curiosities and skepticism.

have you ever...

been so in love that you don't even know what to do? Gosh, I have these crazy almost unexplainable feelings about a certain someone, and in a way it sorta scares me. Once upon a time I fell in love and once that was over I was heartbroken for almost 2 years and I thought to myself that I would never fall in love again. But things have changed. I met someone, and my world turned upside down...just like that Jack Johnson song...but yeah, I feel like I've been an emotional roller coaster lately...its crazy and so intense at the same time. Its like im moving 100000 miles per hour and I don't wanna crash, but at the same time, I dont wanna slow down. Is it because I'm a thrill-seeker? Do I enjoy the adrenaline rush? I don't know, but one thing I do know is that something in me tells me I'm in love...and I hadn't planned for it to happen, which I believe proves it. It just sorta happened; I let my emotions take over without feeling like I had to be rational about anything. Why? Because something inside of me kept telling me that it was the right thing to do. Something inside of me spoke to me and said, "take a chance!" And by taking that chance I might have put my emotional stability in danger, but I truly believe that being with this person is worth anything...because regardless of what anyone may say...I'm in love, and nothing is gonna change that.

Crossing Borders

Crossing borders is like being born again.

You become a new person, yet you are still your old self.

You start a new life, lejos de tu país,

Far away from your friends and familia,

Far from the things you miss.

Adopting a new language, and a culture that is unfamiliar to you.

Being proud of saying “soy Latino, but I’m American too.”

When you cross borders unfamiliar things become familiar,

And some of your old traditions are replaced by those that are new.

Crossing borders means a struggle,

To fit into a society that is not your own.

It means to learn new things,

And to prove to yourself that you have grown.

When you cross borders you become a hybrid,

You become something new.

You are still a Latino,

But there’s also a gringo in you.

When crossing borders you arrive at a new place.

You are no longer Latino, blanco or mestizo.

When you cross borders you come to a universal true:

Solo existe una raza, and that’s the human race.
