How do you find the answer....

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...

Today we learn about the wild...

So as I have nothing to do I have decided to start learning me some knowledge. So I started with fish. The fish that live in the river I live next to are scary. I mean like I would not want to see that thing in real life. Anywhere from the giant fish monsters to the small sharped tooth fish, its kind of unnerving to think thats in the waters where you boat, fish and swim.

Next was animal noises. Straight up to really give the truth, be prepared if you go into the woods at night becuase none of the noises these animals make sound like they are of this world. No seriously, go look up what deer sound like. I know, I know. We see them all the time, but have you ever HEARD one? It's freakish. Same with an elk. So other than all animals being aliens we should be good.

Also, evidently throughout the ages long haired, hairy men have been living in the forests of everywhere pretending to be everything from bigfoot to a werewolf. So what out for them when you go for a walk. Some of them eat people, especially if you are a baby, small child, or woman.

Running errands and thoughts about life...

You know those woman that are just so skinny and pretty? They get all the boys and you think, if you could just lose some weight, do this and that, that life would be better? If only, if only then life would bet better. But truth is: it's not. Everyone has problems, and one of them is that we LOVE to focus on the negative things in life. Somethings always wrong, there is always something to complain about, worry over. We run in circles over and over in our minds about silly things that are out of our control. I'm not trying to be all deep here, or philosophical  I'm just trying to be honest about a subject that I deal with and know others must struggle with too.
Truth is we all hurt, we all struggle, we all worry and yet, if we're lucky, we are still alive at the end of the day.  It all has to do with how we deal with these challenges in life. In fact, are they problems to you or are they just challenges that you must face. Will this challenge really be the end of the world? Most likely it isn't.
Sometimes in life you just have to just relax and deal with the fact you cannot change somethings and somethings are not in your control. Actually, there is someone who can take those issues, your challenges and turn them into productive quests that will leave you with treasures that you will cherish for all of eternity... that's right the ever present man that you always forget about and tell him you can handle it.... God.

What have I done?

What have I done, or even accomplished this year? So much? So little? What have I learned?

I've completed my first year of college, finished my first semester of nursing. I've met new people, learned things about them, and things about myself. I've matured yet I'm still so young and immature. I've seen people struggle and people triumph, whether it have been becuase of school or real life issues at hand. I've changed and watched others change, but yet we all still kinda remain the same (I swear that sounds like some song, what song?!).

I've discovered more of whom I am and who I want to be. I've been shown the flaws I have and I want to fix them. I've discovered that while I am majoring in nursing, I still want to be creative, HAVE to be creative.

I also learned that I sound like Hannah Montana, and that someday I WILL walk into KRs and sing the Hannah Montana theme song...
I learned I'm stronger than I thought I was, but I recognize I'm still weak. I've grown up but I'm still a kid.

Life doesn't change based on how you look but on how you see life... and sometimes being the "smart" one means being lonely, but being smart isn't everything. Sometimes you have to have a little fun!
