Unlike 20,000 other stories that I began and never finished, I am 100% (maybe 98%) serious about completing R271. Now that I am out of school and on my way to becoming what I want to become (career wise at least), I've begun worrying about my future. I'm going crazy thinking about adoption fees, how long it takes to adopt (2 years from China :s), mortgages, and bank accounts. Having a book written and published would definitely help me with some of my woes and it has been on my to do list as long as I've been making to do lists. In honor of R271 I'd like to pay tribute to the fallen stories of lore (ie stories I failed to complete)...
A Shred of Truth *gun shot*
-about an ancient tribe that has to be saved every 5000 years
A Kiss from a King *gun shot*
-about a girl seduced by the King of France
Ishisama and Friends *gun shot*
-a family in modern day Japan dealing with everyday issues
Natural *gun shot*
-a girl from England falls in love with a Native Canadian and then has to leave
These stories are not necessarily dead; more so they are put on reserve when I feel like writing a different story...

11 days...must be a record!
I usually pride myself on being able to sympathize with people or at least understand why they feel a certain way or why they did something that seems a little strange. However there is just one thing that I can't comprehend and that is when people can't be happy.
I'm not suggesting that everyone goes around giggling all the time (my mother thinks I'm annoying). There are legitimate reasons to be upset such as a recent death of a loved one or clinical depression but overall there are very little reasons to be sad. I'll use my Mom as an example. If anybody should be depressed it is here. She has battled breast cancer, cervical/uteran cancer, chrons, anorexia/bulimia, being deaf amongst other things that I can't remember the name for. Yet through it all she has remained positive and never let it get her down. Then people go on saying that life is hard. You know what, life is what you make it and if you would rather be miserable and insist life is hard then get on with it.
There was a song out last year by Three Days Grace that had the line: "'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all". I got so upset by this because it was the time that my Opa was in the hospital dying of severe internal bleeding which I can only imagine to be painful. I'm 100% positive that my Opa would rather have felt nothing then pain for the 5 months that he was hospitalized. I would rather feel nothing then pain.
I hate to sound cliche but it is true. There are always people worse off than you. Get off your high horse; stop believing that life is hard. There are people who are starving, who have no place to spend the night, who are being abducted and forced to murder their families, who live in garbage dumps. I know I've seen it. My life is bliss compared to their's. Your life is not hard!
People are fond of saying that there are no absolute truths in life. I believe they are wrong. There are two absolute truths about human nature:
1. The only thing that stays consistent is change.
2. No matter what happens, we keep on living.
I don't understand why people choose to be miserable. And it is a choice! You may not be able to control what happens around you but you have a choice of how to react. You can either brush it off and be happy. Or let it bother you until you die of a stress-induced heart attack. The choice is yours!
Choose to be happy! :D

Being Home: Updates
I'm home! I have one last exam on the ninth and then I am done with York. WOOHOO!!
I've noticed a big difference between being at home and being at school. I spend a lot less time on the computer when I'm at home so there are going to be less rants, less pictures, and less randomness. And a lot more life.
I have been accepted for teacher's college at Nipissing and U of T. I accepted the U of T offer because it is closer to home. I have my resume all done for my summer job and just heard back for my April to June placement at Hall! Woot for Hall!!
I now have more time to work on my giant colouring poster, chapter outlines for R271, and organizing my room.
I feel so productive and I believe that I am truly happy and content with my life right now.
:D

Guerrilla Terrorism
Are Latin American Guerrilla soldiers terrorists? They are just as much terrorists as the American army is terrorist. The answer is yes! *inserts shock of surprise*
Guerrillas, especially those that follow Che Guevara's foco theory, are terrorists. They engage in selected acts of terrorism in order to show people that the government can be hurt. The result being that the people take charge of their country. Now that is democracy in action. When people take up arms against their government that is democracy, that is the voice of the people, and dare I say that is what the founding fathers of America would applaud.
The means justify the ends--what is so bad about that?
