Gross.

I hate this question....terribly bad.

"why don't you have a boyfriend?"
But it's astronomically worse if it's asked via myspace comment/message.

Okay dude, really?
What if I was crazy, and that's why? I'm not going to admit that's the case if that's the situation, because to me, I'm sane, and to others I would be crazy. So I couldn't tell you that.

Another thing, if I knew, don't you think I would change so that wouldn't be the case anymore? No shit, I would do that.

You're not accomplishing anything with this question other than making that girl think there is something terribly wrong with them.

So hey smartass, don't do it.

hug ME!

So what is it that makes all humans want to be held. Well, perhaps not all humans, but most. Honestly, I think it's one of the best feelings in the world, to be in someones arms, and know that they want you to be there. You're not there because you have to be, or because that's their obligation to you, it's a choice.

I would have to say, this is something I miss a lot about being in a relationship. I mean, we all know any sort of relationship is tough. Friendship. More than Friends relationship. Parental Relationship. It's all hard to maintain and keep everyone happy. But the hugs, the cuddling, holding hands, and knowing that they WANT to do that stuff with you is something I can whole-heartedly say i miss.

So this is what I challenge you to do. So that there is less people out there who miss being hugged, and being close to someone out there, give someone a REAL good hug everyday for a week. But switch it up, like give a hug to a different person everyday. Make the hug that you give them the most desired hug that just makes them feel all warm inside.

I will be doing this as well. in one week, I will judge who gives ME the best hugs. Like, a top 5 or so. You should try to make that list, or some other person's list of top 5.

addictions.

I would really HATE to be addicted to anything really.
I was in the car with my dad today, after he asked my mom to buy him some cigarettes, and she didn't buy them. She asked "is 4.49 expensive? because I thought it was" and my dad response is "no"
Really? My dad smokes a pack a day. That's almost 5 bucks a day, 5 bucks that could be going to so many other things, like LUNCH MONEY!!! I don't get lunch money, that's my responsibility I guess, and he gets that EVERY DAY along with money for his lunch. Amazing how an addiction can really make your priorities different from other peoples.


Addictions are just time consuming, and consuming of other things such as money and patience. This makes me really appreciate the Mormons. I don't want to get religious on you or anything, but they stay away form things to prevent addiction since it's a sin, and I think this is REALLY smart, not just as a religious practice, but for taking care of yourself. YOU GOOOOOOOO!

But as I was thinking of this, and shared with someone how I would hate to have an addiction, and he DAZZLED me with what he said about addictions. He acknowledged how bad they could be, but also how he would LOOOOVE to be addicted to someones love. I had never viewed addiction in this way before. I always think of addictions in a negative connotation, and for once, I was opened up into a whole new possibility. Addictions for the better. We all need more of these. Get addicted to picking up after ourselves. Get addicted to making someone feel special. Get addicted to something that makes you better that you already are. This was probably one of my most worth while conversations this week.

It's amazing how someone can really open your eyes to something new. I live for this. My addiction? Gaining something new from the people I surround myself with, gain perspective, and find more people to DAZZLE me.

Challenge.

wow, it's strange how one simple action could just make you feel sooooo wonderful.
opening a door for someone makes them feel special.
giving a call just to see how someone's been lately makes them feel important.
asking someone how their day is going, even if it's the morning, can make a heart sing.
It's very simple to put light into someones day and just make things a little better.

but just as easy as it is to make someones day, it's just as easy to break it.
we all know how it is to have a bad day,
and when it's your bad day, the least you want to hear is something mean.
Suicide can be based off of one person's actions.
One comment of "wow, get the hell out of here" or something of that variety is so powerful.
How come the hurtful things affect the heart so much more than nice things?


Challenge: Do 3 good things for someone deserving, random, and new everyday. Three separate people. It's not hard. Tell them you like their shoes. Open a door for them. Be the person that makes their day.

Kodak Moment.

The power of a picture.
amazing, let me tell you. It's like a diary. You go back through them and remember all the good times, all the beautiful scenes, and precious moments. You know why? Because people don't really take pictures of the bad moments unless it's photography and they're making a statement in order to change a terrible situation or harsh truth. I don't think I've ever had a bad moment and thought to myself "wow, this really sucks, I best document it with my camera so I can remember it in years to come." So looking back through pictures can often bring your spirits up if you're taking the right picture. I encourage everyone to take as many picture as they can. I love pictures. I take more than I should everyday, and I don't regret filling my computer up with it at all.

Today, just now actually, I was looking back through pictures, and seeing how good of a time I had with certain people, how certain times of the year I looked more sincere than others, and how much I really appreciate my camera. Also, about an hour ago, I was at the store with my dad after I got off work, and I was taking pictures of flowers in Save Mart, and all he could do was laugh at me while people walked by, looking at me and possibly my ass crack....because I didn't care where I was, I saw something I thought I needed to have, and I had it. Pictures mean the world to me and I wish I could take that passion and do more with it. I just don't know what. Pictures are amazing and you should take some.
