i feel you like i feel music.

your smooth, sensual, and sweet.

each chord rings harmoniously

memorably 

triumphantly.

i feel you through the sound waves of my old stereo.

the crackling of the signal going :

in and out

and

out and in

is your hand on my neck slowly moving:

up and down

and

down and up.

your song, our song, is beautiful and lost.

i hum it in my sleep...so vividly, sometimes too vividly

then i wake up and cry,

because it was just a dream.

perk up darling,

"watch out for penguins"

so i heard about this crazy idea.

it  crazy, but its pretty much amazing...

think, pay it forward, do unto others what they do unto you...stuff like that

these people sell livestock for thousands of dollars and donate it to a poor family that cannot raise any money..

then those people give the offspring of that animal to another family in need.

amazing yes?

get rich, buy a sheep,

"be the change that you want to see in the world."

tomorow i begin my invisible children club.  i am scared that nobody will join, that my effort will be useless.

but,

i keep my hopes up. i like to think that people want to do good things, for good people, to not only better their own lives, but the lives of other people...

i have yet to be proved wrong about my hypothesis of the humanity level of...humanity

sounds weird, i know.

i was researching human traffiking again and came across the polaris project

i was surprised to find out that 200,000 American children are traffiked for sexual exploitation WITHIN the U.S.

what happened to America? We are  a national super power, a glowing beacon for poor individuals in third world countries...a nation to be feared

the Earth doesn't revolve around you,

i feel like its been months since i've posted on this blog thing.
in reality its only been days. what do you think that says about me?

addiction maybe?

speaking of addictions, children all over the world are being sexually abused and sold into slavery because of some old guys "addiction."
it amazes me that this is a problem,,,that people arent putting their foot forward to stop this...the word needs to get out..people need to be informed...

this is sick.

i can only imagine my six year old little brother being an object of some creeps desire.
how disgusting.
how...
how...
Vulgar.

it makes me want to vomit. to spit in their faces. to catch them in cuffs and throw them in jail.

this website: love146.com makes it there committment to stop and ban child slave trades. They focus mostly in Thailand, Suri Lanka, the Philipines, and a few other countries.

146 is the number inside of the little girls Dress.
it was her mark.
her identification.
her name.

do you want to be degraded to a number?

ponder,

i just get really annoyed when people call me at seven thirty in the morning on a day off of school.

what are you thinking?

people enjoy their sleep.

here i wrote a song about my annoyance:

i love to sleep in on my day off

but people are impatient and wake me up

with a phone call and a cheery voice,

hey, "wassup"

you jerks. let me sleep.

but enough ranting...

"books are windows through which souls look out."

today i wanted to take time to discuss a serious problem.

one that is disguised by sick individuals in this world.

it makes me sad that someone would think of enslaving a child for sex reasons.  

every child deserves a free and safe life, so don't

Participate.

but rather, Protest.

i encourage all to watch the trailer

and see the actual film in September.

peace and revolution,

"I can't believe God put us on this Earth to be ordinary."

I am day and he is Night.

We are so different, yet so much the same.  Together we are unbeatable, unstoppable, Invincible.

We pride ourselves in our collaboration.  

Me.

Him.

Us.

There must be a balance. We must exist simultaneously.

There cannot be Day without Night.

I had this epiphany today.  Actually I didn't.  I just wanted to start dramatic.

But seriously,

I did contemplate on how lucky I am to live here and to be able to go to school.  As I researched information on the invisiblechildren.com website (for my club), I just kept thinking about what it would be like if I did not grow up with loving parents, to be ensured that I would be safe, that I would not be personally stuck in the middle of a war.  I encourage all readers to visit invisiblechildren.com .  Children in Northern Uganda suffer from lack of safety, homes, and education.  This organization raises money, awareness, and support for these children and their families.  But enough preaching for now...just remember to 

Get involved.

Anyways, I'm back at school...busy (and bored) as ever.  I wish that Jerk didn't total my car, otherwise I'd be driving down olive, with the windows down, on the way to the bookstore.

I am a nerd.

I love to read.  It allows me to escape from my life, my drama, my troubles...only to escape to some fictitious characters life.  Sometimes it amazes me to see the relationship I end up having with these characters.  I wish some characters were real.  I wish people acted like these characters.  I know what youre thinking, "what kind of books does this one read?...cccrrraaazzzyyy."  But really, who hasn't gotten attached to a book, assuming that everyone loves to read of course.

Be kind. Recycle.
