thought of the day

from postsecret

Body Peace Treaty

this is from seventeen.. i think
i DID NOT write this,
but i think that this is really important
ahem

Body Peace Treaty
I vow to…
• Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if I had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight.

• Never blame my body for the bad day I'm having.

• Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies.

• Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.

• Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.

• Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment I walk, talk, think, breathe...

• Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that I'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me.

• Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.

• Remember that even the girl who I'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates.

• Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break.

• Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who I am inside.

• Know that I'm already beautiful just the way I am.

China is getting ready

into the wild...

okay ,the other day i watched Into The Wild and I really enjoyed it
its about this man's journey, leaving almost everything behind, to go to Alaska
firstly its based on a real story (at least I think so)
and second of all... it veers away from the predictable hollywood happily ever after, all loose ends settled sort of ending
and that's what really got me b/c most movies end well.
(well except for this other movie I watched called We All Fall Down)(locally shot and produced?)
This one didnt. and it was unexpected
aside from that, it wasn't just a straight out story.
it was put together with bits and pieces, here and there
and some thoughts/narration
its always hard to put it together chronologically,
but I didn't think that it was the point,
it shows the people he met and the way he was different and impacted them.
this movie made me think about my life,
and I believe this movie has that power to say something,
you just have to find out what it's saying to you.
I would definitely recommend you to watch this movie.
it's very moving
4.5/5

Ta cion agam ort

Tà bròn orm Ta cion agam ort. Tà tù tàbhachtach.
I'm sorry, I love you, you're important (c'est Gaelic- mais c'est tres mal)

huh..?

if you have the time to read this post,
then you have the time to take a few minutes just think about
what you really want to be doing,
what really makes you 'tick',
what you couldnt imagine not doing...
.

now with that thought in your mind,
go and BE YOURSELF... in the end that's all that matters

Why Boys like Girls

Here’s a few reasons why guys like girls… I didn’t write this… just found it thought it was worth holding on to. Seems appropriate

1. They will always smell good even if its just shampoo
2. The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder
3. How cute they look when they sleep
4. The ease in which they fit into our arms
5. The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world
6. How cute they are when they eat
7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end makes it all worth while
8. Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 out side
9. The way they look good no matter what they wear
10. The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she’s the most beautiful thing on this earth
11. How cute they are when they argue
12. The way her hand always finds yours
13. The way they smile
14. The way you feel when you see their name on the call ID after you just had a big fight
15. The way she says “lets not fight anymore” even though you know that an hour later you will be arguing about something
16. The way they kiss when you do something nice for them
17. The way they kiss you when you say “I love you’
18. Actually … just the way they kiss you…
19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry
20. Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
22. Then the way they apologize when it does hurt . (even though we don’t admit it)!
23. The way they say “I miss you”
24. The way you miss them
25. The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn’t hurt her anymore…..

Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them … it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitably consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.

world aids day

i know its late... i just noticed the time, but this is important
i just realized that today was world aids day, i thought that it had passed, but i was wrong, hence the reason there is so much news on aids.
i think that the world needs to become more aware of the reality of HIV and AIDS and that its here and is affecting a vast majority of people in Africa and around the world.
If you think about, say, if a person in Canada had HIV or AIDS, they would most certainly be in the hospital getting help.But these poor people in Africa are not getting the treatments that they need, and without medication they are going to die. Plus, if passed on, their children will become infected as well.
What kind of message is that sending?, are people in developed countries more valuable then people in undeveloped countries... i think not. so why the difference in treatment? we have to start thinking about these people as our brothers and sisters rather than just another problem to be solved.
For those who don't know, HIV can lead to AIDS and the biggest issue is stopping HIV from developing into full blown AIDS.
but it is not all bad,
there are group out there that are educating the African young men on the usage of condoms and how effective they are.
not only that. if pharmaceutical companies help in producing medication, many of the people who need help will get it.
even thought i am only mentioning how its has affected africa, there are many cases around the world., in china and in russia and just places where you dont and you do expect it
HIV/AIDS.... if we all become aware, i believe that that makes a difference, and if we spread the word and speak up, then thats even better.

-global effort on world aids day

sorry this is so jumbled. its late. and i'm still somewhat sick..

What is Black?

What is Black?

The space between time.
A void that fills life when things are going terribly wrong,
An emptiness replacing all thoughts or emotions,
Loneliness coming and going, without notice;
Black
The night’s sky, calling out to those under it,
The eyes in the dark that sees everything, but rarely speaks,
The hidden sense of foreboding,
Of evilness lurking around the corner?
Black
A father’s death,
The family’s sorrow,
A personal loss,
Mourning at an unexpected hour;
Black
The mystery that threatens the unknown,
Submission not only to yourself, but to others;
Black
The sleekness of a new car,
The sophistication of that perfect little dress,
Black
The bad luck that follows after a cat crosses your path,
The vision that encompasses you when you close your eyes,
When you are finally true to yourself in the shadows of slumber,
The darkness that exists when no light is present,
Something bad waiting to happen,
What am I?
I am Black.

"I Miss You"

"I Miss You"

I miss you, I miss you
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head I miss you, I miss you
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head I miss you, I miss you


I miss you, I miss you
