A Blank Canvas

Well hello there...you! How are you doing? Well that is very interesting that you feel that way. Why? I don't know...

Remember how I told you little over a month ago (I think) that I might write some stories? Well I decided I would do that today! Yes, I am going to ignore that strange greeting and just continue with my thoughts. Throughout my life I have had many story ideas go through my head and then either I think about it for a bit never write it down and forget about it, write it down realize I suck at writing and forget my whole plan for it, or I start writing it and it ends up being a super short story that is ridiculous and random and has no real purpose except to entertain me because I was bored.

Well I have had this idea about doing a story about a person who is a prisoner...sort of. I really don't know how to explain it but I will try again. It's about this girl that used to work for a secret spy agency type thing and then got caught by a certain fellow and now lives in his basement so that he can threaten her to make other people from the same spy agency to do what he wants. At least that was the original idea I think. Now I don't know what it is.

Wow. Sorry that was a much longer explanation than I wanted it to be but just a bit more. I had this idea as I was trying to sleep and I decided that I should write it down so I don't completely forget it. Um. If you like it let me know...if you hate it let me know. Give me your thoughts. If you want more of these let me know. Okay yeah so here is the scene in my head (forgive me I'm not a writing person so yeah...).

Attempt at Inspiration?

Most the time my points are pretty silly and just here to hopefully entertain but today I'm going to try and be inspirational/motivating. I kinda doubt those are the right words that describe it but I wanted to talk about it anyway and I think it's kinda inspirational/motivating...then again I'm biased. Anyway here we go!

This is James Maslow...I want his puppy

So I was watching the last three weeks of Dancing with the Stars when it was on mainly because James Maslow was on it...and because for some reason I became obsessed with dancing and yeah. Anyway James got 4th (he should have gotten 3rd in my opinion but whatever) and when that happened I immediately thought how I would feel about it. Through my thought process I immediately hoped that if I were on the show I would do my best but not care if I won or not. Weird reasoning, yes, but here's why: It's all about the journey. I'm sure you've heard the saying "It's about the journey, not the destination" or something like that (for some reason my I'm having a major brain fart and can't remember what exactly it was but that's close enough). Well I decided that the destination is what motivates you and the journey is what you remember.

We will use Dancing with the Stars as an example. What motivates each contestant is winning the mirror ball that's where they want to end up, their destination they want to reach. The journey is all the weeks they fought to stay in the contest. All of those dances, the reactions, the hard work, that's what they are going to remember. Even if they didn't make it to the finals or even the 5th week, they are going to remember what they learned and the excitement, pain, and everything else they experienced. To me that is so much better.

If you don't get to a certain destination or goal that you were really fighting for don't give up. Look back on everything you went through and experienced on your journey. I'm sure there is something there that will make it worth it even if you didn't make it to the end destination. Did you learn something? Did you meet someone new? Did you do something you never would have done?

Well there you go. That's my attempt at being inspirational/motivating. It sounded a lot cooler in my head (which happens way too often for my own good). I hope you enjoyed it. Stay classy and remember the journey not the fact that you didn't reach your destination.

Cats vs. Dogs

The other day I was thinking about cats and dogs. Why? I can't remember. I think it had to do with me thinking about the constant debate people have over whether cats or dogs are better and I was thinking of my argument and my annoyance at this constant debate. I wanted to find a way to relate each animal in a way that people could understand them better. Or at least how I see them and this is what I decided.

When comparing dogs to humans they are like small children. Why? Well because they always want to play and openly show that. They also tend to show their love to you more openly and their need for you as well.

When comparing cats to humans they are like teenagers. Cats tend to be more independent and ignore you unless they really want something. They also sleep constantly which is a common occurrence for many teens.

So that's my short little comparison. I hope it makes sense but I don't really want to elaborate on it more because I doubt it would really help and would probably just confuse you more. Oh! If you want to hear my honest opinion on the whole cat vs. dog debate let me know.

Stay classy and remember that both animals have good and bad qualities and one may be better for a certain person but not necessarily better as a whole.

Starting Again?

Well hello there people of the internet! Think about if people of the internet are their own species...that would be interesting...what would that be called? Homo Internetio...whats internet in latin? Hang on...need to google. Cue jeopardy music. Oh wait. The internet wasn't around when Latin was, was it? Um well now I'm rather confused. Answers.com says that net in latin is rete or retium but that sounds too much like part of the eye ball to me. Then they also said they have seen interete and interetium.You pick what you think it would be and tell me!

Wow. That was a weird tangent that I didn't mean to go off on. Welcome back to this blog that has terrible grammar, makes no sense, and has random tangents. I hope you enjoy.

Anyway...I was going to blog a lot more than I did during college. I had all these plans and ideas and then I got distracted by college life and don't remember anything I was going to say. So ignore anything I said I was going to talk to you about...unless you really want me to talk about it, in which case you should yell at me in the comments to talk about it. So yeah. Sorry for my inconsistency. I'm not going to make any promises that I will post more regularly but apparently I'm incredibly bad at those promises so I'm not going to do that. I will however post when I'm bored. Like right now...

So the point of this post is 1) to say I'm back and sorry for being so irregular but it probably won't change and 2) to ask how you would feel if I attempted to right random short stories here. I used to right random short stories in high school on my friends/families phone. It was really fun and since it was on a phone it could be short and didn't need to make any sense. I used to be writing a book until I stopped because I realized how terrible I am at writing (apparently that didn't stop me from making a blog though). But! I could still write some short stories and practice writing because even though I'm terrible at it I find it rather enjoyable. If I can find some of my short stories I can share them with you and stuff. I don't know. So yeah. I might do that.

Stay classy and don't forget that you are awesome. Yeah that was kinda lame. My bad.

In the Future: ...I don't know!
