<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I tried to find myself this year; tried and probably succeeded. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I have gained this new thing called independence,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">not just from the natural withdrawal of my parent's insurance, but from learning for myself.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">My body can now function without manipulative strangers.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm Free.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">When you find yourself alone in a crowded place, you learn to think for yourself.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">And I did.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I know what happened from August to May,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">me and my head introduced each other, and questions were answered,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and the rest of the world will never understand. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Higher powers call it growth, and they encourage me to continue in my insight,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'll make them proud.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">My posterity can read my Journal entries from this past year,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'll briefly read through my awkward phrases and redundant metaphors,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">briefly...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">then i'll focus on the blank pages, where college boys and heavy books and english papers and burnt macaroni and grass stains and Sunday drives and expired bread and cleaning checks and reunion lunches will occupy the open spaces in my refreshed mind.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">ah.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">that sound's nice.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'm a former hypochondriac and enjoy a good milkshake. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">or in other words,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I've found myself.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Jacob Smoot is, what he thinks, a regular 28 year old man just beginning to figure out what life is. He has a beautiful girlfriend and a steady job. He was in a "unexplained" accident when he was 20 and can't remember his life before, but he's now content with what he has. While on a business trip in Seattle, Washington, he walks into a restaurant and passes 6 people who stare at him as he passes by. Being paranoid, he immediately walks out, but only to find all 6 of them surrounding him. They tell him that he was the President of a secret time traveling organization called "Savers" years ago. The 6 people explain that they are the team leaders within the organization and how they thought he was dead when he was abducted from the "Takers" 8 years ago. They Savers couldn't function without him and shut down the organization, leaving the world to potentially self-destruct. The leaders ask him to restart the organization to fix the past and future world that the Takers have destroyed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Can he trust the 6 people?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Would he be willing to leave his perfect life to believe in the Savers?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">With his memory loss, will he be able to handle the risks of the Savers Organization?</span></div>Carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09557413249985339560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255533890858166106.post-54187777280672226612012-05-06T12:59:00.001-07:002012-05-06T12:59:03.626-07:003 years<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and my children will never hear stories about sensitive football jocks who broke my heart.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I haven't changed into a "new person" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and "the best 4 years" haven't applied yet. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">But, you've been enjoyable. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'll always remember those daydreams in math class, </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">driving "recklessly" through Alpine neighborhoods..</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Find me at age 24, i'll catch your eye.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I'll be wearing your favorite color and have my hair up in a messy bun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">We'll fall desperately in love but we won't admit it until our 11th date.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">You'll propose to me with cheesy inside jokes on top of a mountain,</span><br />

We compare our life to casual ideas. Because the description of our life NEEDS to sound profound. We have to answer the question, "Life is like a...." because its creative, right? Life is like a worm's dried skin. That might of been philosophical or a random thought from the right hemisphere of my brain. Either way, you're already finding connections. We need to find metaphors and similes and symbols and personification and resemblance and correlation (carried away?) to describe Life. Life is simply breathing and feeling. and death....it's just a scary bridge to Life part II. </span><br />

I passed those uttered fools chomping on dead grass. I said hi. I saw that sunlight and that open land. I thought I saw Travis riding on Miley's horse, Blue Jeans, in the distance, it was actually tumbleweed. I might of watched the Hannah Montana Movie too many times. I danced to Chris Brown and slept to Country music. Why I only dream of traveling through these empty fields every day? It was some sort of peace. It's different around those parts. Here, I could spit from my house and hit the neighbors back door...uh..metaphorically speaking. Anyways. </span><br />

Well, thats ironic. This movie will make you crave british accents and history books. <i>Young Victoria </i>is about Queen Victoria's early reign. It's good, almost too good. </span><br />

We have it, we flaunt it, we abuse it. We dream love. It's where we find soul-mates, companions, and unexplained feelings. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">And now, welcome Hollywood into our perceptions of love. First up, we have Jonas Brothers. Their good old-fashioned take on a WWII love story can melt a 13-pound bar of chocolate. They are teenage heartthrobs, and look so good in those white tuxes. Is it getting warm in here? Maybe the computer’s been on too long. hmm. any who...enjoy. (Their video won't show....so go to this link)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Moving on. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Next, a little bit of Chris Brown.. today I listened to all of his sappy love song music videos. hmm. it's been a good day. This is "Crawl."

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> I guess I will satisfy the current demand and write one, if you insist. So hello...(awkward web silence) . Well anyways, this blog will be full of spontaneous teenage thoughts. My life in words won't be like the dramatic story lines of T-Swift songs, but they will be entertaining. So stay tuned, and we will enjoy this tender journey together.</span>Carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09557413249985339560noreply@blogger.com0
