Reflections of the past

Sometimes you only truly understand somethings value when it disappears. You've lived with it for so long you have forgotten to be thankful that it was even there.     The human mind doesn't want to acknowledge death, but it still exists. Its very real when the person your close to suddenly dies. Somehow you forgot how it was like to live without them, and now you have to. Saying a farewell for a lifetime is hard no matter how you look at it. You wish you had done more things with them, maybe even prevented the cause of their passing. All you've got are the memories you made together and the impact they made on the world. They are whisked away, and no way to know when they are taken. Sometimes it takes years for the pain to fade.  Enjoy the time you have with people, you never know whats around the corner. Cherish them, and make good memories together. Life is fleeting but how you take the world on changes the outcome. Live life to the fullest!

Summer

Well everyone... it seems like summer is on it's way!   But for some, it may be snowing.. or hurricanes for that matter!    Main point is, if your not on the opposite side of the globe.. the season coming up is nice!   The hardest thing about summer, is making sure you don't squander the great weather and time off!  I find this the hardest thing to do. But this summer, I intend to do better!   Have a nice not-quite-summer!    

sandpaper

Sand paper, a microscopic phenomenon, small, rarely looked at, and yet used so often.    Tiny glass shards are adhered to a piece of durable paper. Amazing... sheer amazingness.      It works great!       There you go. Sandpaper. I use it to sand kitchen stools, sand carved pieces, and do varnish work. Great useful practical stuff. Not exactly cheap, but not exactly expensive.    Anyways, SEE description if you ran into something you didn't expect.     See ya.

A lazy summer day

Sundays, a peaceful snooze day or perhaps a delicious dessert with chocolate and bananas.Most of the time you might wake up late, snag some coffee and go about having a nice relaxing day at home. Some make HUGE plans that they intend to fulfill  that particular day. Others decide that it's better to not procrastinate and decide to do homework during daylight hours only to nocturnally party...    And some feel like they still don't have enough time to breathe. I gotta do this, I gotta do that!    What it all boils down to, is that School, and whatnot, give you two days on the weekend for a REASON!    Spend your time wisely, but don't fret about Monday, because how much worrying has ever made things any better?           Have a nice Sunday!

What in the world?

So, you feel like life is a newspaper, all laid out and ready to go. You grow old, you have fun, you die.     Nothing is very spontaneous for you at the moment, you wish it was, and it isn't, just plain boring bread and  cheese no Nutella Peanut butter banana sandwiches for you!   If you loose your sense of insecurity with finances, you'll find that you can allow yourself more freedom as to your life! If you don't take risks, there's not much fun and adventure with the risks you don't take. "I'll take some risks, with some milk and cookies please! And serve it on a nice large platter with some ketchup on the side!"        I am intending to live my dreams! I wanna take risks, I wanna learn, I wanna go round the world!      So, What in the world do YOU wanna do? :) I gotta live some lives, live some dreams, and make my cup overflow! so see ya!

College craziness

Hello Everyone!    Sorry I haven't clicked on the keyboard for a while, I got a boatload of classes and wait lists to sift through this semester!     In any case, I hope everyone is having a lovely springtime ( except for those who have the opposite seasons as us- see "Endless Summer" movie to get what I mean). I feel like this year may hold many new and different things betwixt it's pages, and I intend to make an epic year out of the end of the Mayan calendar! But stow the gab, this isn't NEW year anymore, its OLD AND DREARY year! :) I am taking a nice computer class ( programming using games and simulations), and algrebra 2, so if I post some simulations up here, then it means that I am doing well in the programming class! I know, two classes aren't hectic at all, but when your on the WAIT LIST it really is a pain!        I cleaned out my little "Flying Junior" sail boat, and I intend to sail it as far as I can! Not t...

If you ever take a travel to the sub zero climate zones, such as Scandinavia, Norway, Finland, Russia, Sweden etc. then be sure to take a tour of the "Ice Hotel's"! One of the most famous of the these   is situated in the village JukkasjÀrvi, Sweden, 12 km from Kiruna Airport. Every year seasonally they build it by the river, carving massive blocks of ice and snow, turning it into walls and and windows and ceiling... they even make the tables and beds and  chandeliers out of ICE!!!        They give tours and rent some of the spacious rooms for a night, up to 2,400 SEK for one night and one adult! They have different living situations  an Ice "suite" an Ice "room"  and a "snow room" all furnished with high thermal sleeping bags and reindeer skins, chairs and other fascinating objects. Below is an Ice "Suite",Ice "room", and their "Snow Room".                   Below are different pic...
