Boy Lilikoi

Dear readers,


sorry I haven't been updating the blog but I've been very busy lately.
I have a great music suggestion for all you readers. Jonsi is a Icelandic singer and has amazing talent you should all listen to his albums. http://www1.rollingstone.com/hearitnow/player/zoo.html << this is a link to the album for the 2012 film "We Bought a Zoo" which Jonsi recorded. I also recommend his album "Go" ( I couldn't find a link to a free listening sit but you can find it on YouTube) Me, myself, recommend the songs "Sinking Friendships", "Boy Lilikoi", and "Aevin Endar".

Yours truly,
Albert S.

Goodnight Ireland.

Copy and Paste.

"Imitation is not sincerest from of flattery....So come come up with your own original ideas and leave mine alone." - Unknown 

From the moment we were born we were told to be ourselves, but what if other people want to be us? What if people are trying to copy and paste us? I'm getting very frustrated because this is happening to me.I do on thing and this person (who shall be left unnamed) does it...... better. For example I got new Converse a couple months ago and my friends said they were cool. Then this person got Converse and everybody loved them! This person never had an interest in the shoes but I on the other hand had always had an interest because my older brother Ewen got a pair on his 12th birthday and after a while I wanted a pair. I got a blue pair the next year when I turned 11 and they lasted me a few years. This year for Christmas I got a black pair and I love them. Another thing about me being copied and pasted is I love comics and superheros, mostly villains thought,I really do and this person who has never showed the slightest interest in them all of a sudden loves them just because they heard me talking to a girl about it and she liked it. Well the next thing you know this person likes superheros and comics and everybody knows because they won't let you forget it! I really do feel like I'm being copied and pasted. Like all my originality is being striped away from me.

No Need to Deny.

a poem by Albert Safford.

I’ve been trapped inside a place

 where I know there’s no escape

All my secrets have been revealed

I’m left tormented and unhealed

I wish this nightmare would just end

All my hopes and all dreams

Have been titled as blasphemes

I can see the world from a bird’s eye

 I think I have to die

As I lay down in the grass all I see are shades of grey

I make up my mind, tomorrow is the day

Buildings taller than the sky, I think I’m going to die

There’s no reason to deny

 yes I know I’m going to die

I have a smile on my face as the sun shines down on me

Because I know that I’ll be free

I climb up 50 floors to get right up to the top

Feel the breeze go through my hair and the warm light on my face

I’m so happy I’m so free

I feel as if nothing can stop me

One last look upon the city that is miles away from me

I reflect on my short life and all the pain I had to see

Once I take my leap of faith and leave this world behind

Everyone one is going to know

That my life just got so messed up and this world became gritty

My life just wasn't meant to be

The people who have caused this their names are left unsaid

I can only say one thing about it

My jump was because of them

Yes there’s no need to deny

I’m going to die

Goodnight Ireland.

"Popular".

Popular- ad. Liked, admired, and enjoyed by many people or by a particular group or person.

Look around you. Are you really like? Or is it staged?

Everyone is unique. People say that they're different-and they are- but some people literally try to be different on purpose, mostly the people that call themselves "popular". It makes no sense, people who are "popular"-or so they say- are all the same; they all talk the same, look the same, act the same way etc. They always say things like "Oh we're so different", and "We don't bully people because everyone is different and we know who it feels to be treated badly because we're different too". Stuff like that annoys me so much! Yet really the people who stick out like a sore thumb in the crowds and who are truly different are ridiculed and shunned from the "popular" group. I myself have experienced this first hand. I tried to fit in with the "popular" kids but they made fun of me and called me names but now I have found people who were treated the same and I have great friends. I just don't understand how they can say that they're against bullying yet turn around and called somebody names and laugh at them. And the worst part is, is that no matter how hard you try to get rid of people like that, they will always be there no matter where you go. I hate them, I really do! I mean take Steve Rogers (Captain America) for example, he was this short, skinny, loser kid that no one really liked but then he became this strong man, he became a hero! The serum is not what made in a super strong man, well mostly it did, but what made what he is today is the fact that he wasn't scared and that the man he is now was always inside of him and the serum just help that man come out and show his true power. My point is don't long to be "popular" and known aspire to be peculiar and uncommon.

  “Do not yearn to be popular; be exquisite. Do not desire to be famous; be loved. Do not take pride in being expected; be palpable, unmistakable.” - C. JoyBell C.

Goodnight Ireland. 

If animals could speak.

Foster.

For those of you who didn't know, I have a cat and his name is Foster. Now I'm not trying to start a war here but I have to say that cats are better then dogs. I mean you give a dog a treat and he'll lick your face and love you, but a makes you work for it's affection, you can't just give it a treat. It took me six years to get old Foster to like me. My friend had a dog and the first day I met him the dog was all over me, licking my face and waging his tail. Also cats are smarter, in my opinion. My Friend's dog, for instance, was so dumb that if you had a toy in your hand and pretended to throw it, he thought you threw it!My cat, on the other hand, never fell for that (I'm not trying to toot my own horn, I'm just giving an example). So, in my finale thought, I'm on team cat! What team are you on? 

“If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.” 
―Mark Twain
