Something I Miss

Day 20: Describe something that you miss.

Some times I really miss being a little kid. The world was so simple then, everything was black and white. I really miss that, being free from responsibility and worry. I guess it all comes down to happiness. Other times I'm really glad that I'm older (and wiser?) now. I love where I am right now in life, I always try to live in the moment. I guess  I also miss my brother. Since he's nine years older than me he has left the house and now he's married. He is really cool so I miss him a lot.

This was the day for my writing challenge project, so I really hope you guys enjoyed. I may write in this blog later if I have something interesting to write about, but for now BYE!

Hope you enjoyed!


My Thoughts on Mainstream Music

Day 19: What are your views on mainstream music?

I don't think that there's anything wrong with mainstream music. I listen to what ever I like at the time. I try not to give labels to music because usually you just end up judging the music before you even listen to it. People often tell me that they hate certain genres of music or certain artists. I used to do that but now I try not to because I don't want to potentially miss out on some great music because I was too quick to judge the music. Many people are really against mainstream music. I don't really care like I said I just listen to what I like I don't care if it's mainstream or something no one has ever heard before.

My Thoughts on Education

Day 18: How important do you think education is?

I think that a proper education is extremely important, especially in today's society where most businesses that offer decent jobs won't hire you with out some kind of a degree. I really bothers me when I see other students that just don't care about their education. To be fair I must add that I don't always give 100% into my school work 100% of the time, but I have never let my grades fall and that is a matter of personal pride for me. Even if you disregard the fact that you need a decent education to get a good job, you should get an education to better yourself. Every time you learn a new skill or system you are making yourself better. For me education is all about self improvement. I think that it should be that way for everyone. Working hard at your studies is just another way of showing that you have respect for yourself and that you honestly want to make yourself a better person.

My Earliest Memory

Day 17: Describe your earliest memory.

My earliest memory takes place when I was probably about 4 or 5. I remember wearing a little dress and spinning around in our back yard next to my mom while she weeded our garden. Yes I know it's exactly vivid or detailed but it is my earliest memory and for being such an old memory i think it's a pretty good one.

Hope you enjoyed!

My Favorite Movie

Day 16: What is your favorite movie and why?

My favorite movie is probably Independence Day. I remember watching it with my dad when I was probably 8 or 9 and I loved it. Now that I'm older I still watch it and I still think it's a great movie. It was the first real sci-fi movie that my dad and I ever watched together. Before that I would sometimes watch Star Trek with him on Sunday afternoons but now we watch sci-fi movies together all the time. I guess part of the reason why I love the movie so much is because it makes me think of my dad.

Hope you enjoyed!

Dinner with a Historical Figure.

Day 15: If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and what would you eat?

I would have dinner with Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci was an important astronomer, inventor, scientist, and artist. Pretty much everything that I have ever wanted to be in my life Da Vinci was and he was awesome. I would love to sit down and just talk with him about his ideas and his opinions on things. I think that we would eat Italian food. I love Italian food also Da Vinci was Italian so he would like it too.

I hope you enjoyed!

What Super Power Do I want?

Day 14: If you could have one superpower what would it be and what would you do with it first?

I think that I would have to say Intuitive Aptitude, which is basically being super, super smart. Ok so it's not the most flashy of all super powers but think about it, it's easy to hide and it's useful in every situation. The first thing that I would do with it is solve the population problem by relocation. I would figure out a way to colonize the moon and Mars and then relocate people there. Then I could work on curing diseases like HIV/AIDS, cancer, and diabetes. Then I might trying solving the hunger problem. Basically I would try to solve all the worlds most pressing problems with my super smarts. Then I could just do something useless, like invent a mini contained solar system, that would be pretty cool.

Hope you enjoyed!

Three Childhood Memories

Day 13: Describe three significant memories from your childhood.

1) Breaking my face in Cape Cod. This is a memory that really sticks out with me mostly because I still have the scar from that. When I was little it was  Fourth of July and I came running up the steps of my grandparents home in Cape Cod. I slipped, fell off the step, and ended up gouging my face with a seashell. I was crying so I ran to my dad I remember pulling my face away from his shirt and seeing his entire shirt covered in my blood it was pretty scary. I cut actually wasn't that bad but it was a miracle that the seashell didn't catch my eye. To this day I have the scar next to my left eye.

2) Fighting with my brother. This is kind of a general one but I remember fighting with my brother all the time. My brother is nine years older than me and was probably pretty annoyed with me. I would always try to hang out with him and his friends, but he would always scare me and fight with me. I always thought that I hated my brother but really I love my brother he's the greatest.

3) Going to the Arizona. Ok so this wasn't that long ago but it is still a memory that I cherish. I took this trip with mom, dad, Greg, and his girlfriend at the time (they are married now) Heather. I loved this trip Arizona is just so beautiful. Also I think this was the first family vacation that we took with Heather, which was fun, she is awesome.

Something I Wish I Was Great At

Day 12: What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

I wish that I was a great writer. I wish that when I wrote pieces I could make people feel things, see things, and ultimately find themselves moved by the writing. I'm not exactly a captivating writer. I have a vivid imagination but I just can't seem to get all of my ideas and thoughts down on paper. I love writing but I rarely ever show any of my writings to anyone. Usually when I am done writing a piece I am very proud of the work that I have done but then I read my writing piece and I can't help but see how childish and horribly written the piece is. So I wish that I was great at writing.

Hope you enjoyed!

My Animal

Day 11: If you were an animal what would you be and why?

I would be a horse because horses are social creatures they love to be in herds but they also like to spend some time alone as well. Also horses are extremely intelligent and can often read peoples emotions fairly accurately. They are super intelligent creatures, plus I think it would be amazing to just be free like a wild horse just to run and be free from the social pressures of our world today. So that is why I would be a horse.

My Five Strengths

Day 10: Describe 5 strengths you have.

1) Leading a team. I consider myself to be a pretty good leader most of the time and like leading a group or team.
2) Being social. I love talking to people and making new friends.
3) Working with animals. I think that I have a talent for working with animals and I love being with them.
4) Figuring out how things work. Usually I can pretty easily figure out how a product or program works, I don't know why I just can, I see how all the parts fit together.
5) Math and Sciences. I think that these are two subjects that I seem to excel in I could certainly spend some more time sharpening my skills but math and science come pretty easily for me.

Hope you enjoyed!

My Five Weaknesses

Day 9: Describe 5 Weaknesses You Have.

1) Watching what I say. I really need to work on this one often times I will just say what ever comes to my mind without really thinking it through which is never good.
2) Letting other people lead. Sometimes I have a really hard time with letting other people lead a group or team that I am apart of, I like to have things done the way I think they should be done.
3) Being confident in myself. I know that sometimes I am not confident in myself at all and I am often times a self doubter.
4) Procrastinating. I have the terrible habit of procrastinating everything until the very last possible moment.
5) Complaining. I often complain about things that I have no reason to complain about, it's something that I have been trying to work on for awhile and I still continue to work on it.

My Most Embarrassing Moment

Day 8: Describe Your Most Embarrassing Moment

I can't remember any specific moments that were incredibly embarrassing for me but usually I try to forget those moments. I think that it's really embarrassing, though, when your talking to some one and then you say something that you instantly realize you shouldn't have said. You wish you hadn't said it but you did and then you and the person your talking with are just kind of awkwardly standing there trying to come up with something to say to make up for the mistake you just made. What makes it even worse is when the person your talking to doesn't say anything because then your just standing there wondering if you should walk away or just wait for them to say something. I think those moments are the most embarrassing.

Five Passions of Mine

Day 7: What are 5 passions that I have?

I love reading, I think that it's a great outlet as well as a great way to learn. I mostly read fiction stories though because they are more exciting. I love animals of all kinds, I think that it's just so rewarding when you get to work with animals and see progress in them. I really enjoy writing although I don't think I'm very good at it, I kind of just doodle with words I guess. Writing is actually very relaxing and I love doing it although I don't usually show my writing works to anyone else because I don't think they are very good. I love horseback riding getting to work with and train horses is a really incredible opportunity that I have. I do horse jumping and it's the most incredible feeling when you train your own horse, you go over a jump and you know you did it perfectly, it's really exciting. My last passion is music, I love making music, I love listening to music, I just really like it. I don't think I would be able to live with out music.

5 Passions of Mine

1) Reading
2) Animals
3) Writing
4) Horseback Riding
5) Music

My Dream Job

Day 6: What is my dream job and why?

I think that if money didn't matter and I could just do anything without the need for money or anything else I would just travel. I would travel the world and then write about it. I love traveling but it's really expensive and making money would be difficult. I would write about just so that I could share my experience with others who maybe don't like traveling so much. If money did matter then I think I would want to be a jockey, I love horses and I think horse racing is very exciting. Also, jockeys can make a lot of money depending on where they race. Plus, I would get to work with some of the most incredible horses ever!

Hope you enjoyed!
