i have a dream that keeps playing through my head. not the kind of dream that will change the world, or even the kind of dream that will change you. not even the the kind that will change me, and maybe that’s why i have this dream
this is the dream i dream when i’m red-eyed and wide awake, mind wild and racing numb. the dream i dream when i’m on my knees sitting uncomfortably, and making an imprint of the carpet on my forehead and elbows. the crash after the high with the giant question “why”. and the answer that stings in the place you feel warm when you’re happy and cold when you’re sad.
the dream is simple: i’m running on rooftops, chasing a kid with a smirk on his face. i don’t catch him.
that part comes in a different dream. that’s the dream than could change me. maybe even you. maybe even the world.but i don’t know yet. i’m still running.

yeah, i’m still pretty emo. i suppose the reason for that is because a lot of things make me sad. and i guess a lot of things make me sad because i have some pretty different ideas. different relative to a lot of my well-educated, jaded, faded peers.
ideas like reserving judgement, or forgiving every time, or trying to love everyone, or turning the other cheek, or admitting defeat, or accepting defeat when you’re in the right. you know, things that kinda take pride and kick it aside.
oh yeah, and the idea of holding standards to yourself you know you can’t keep.
hypocrisy? maybe if i’m not keeping that first standard. pretentious? probably, i guess so. i do think these standards are the most important ones. because (at the risk of looking like that sinfest kid) i figure Jesus knew what he was talking about. and that if i’m supposed to live my life for him, i should probably try to do what he says. even though i do get depressed, apathetic, angry, or just plain emo, i’m always at peace.
i also feel like everyone should have it! this peace business. it’s pretty cool. cooler than happiness, even. that’s not to say i’m not happy.
this post had no purpose other than to let you pretend you can read my mind.

Hello boys and girls! I’ve been pretty absent [minded] for the past two weeks, but I have returned in a blaze of glory! That is, if you consider four pretty pictures a blaze of glory.
Four pictures out of a series of thirty-six! Click the thumbnails to enlarge! Mouse-over the thumbnails for the titles!

Hello world!!!
Oh my gosh, it’s soooo exciting to be alive and enjoying a evening. Too bad I’m not on the 99th floor of a tall building with the lovely night breeze whipping my hair back as I stare nonchalantly at the speeding cars down on the street below me. Of course, the picture wouldn’t be complete without jazz in the background! I suppose sitting in front of a laptop at my cooped up desk is alright surrounded by yellowed dorm walls is rather fine & dandy also.
I’ve always wanted a pet, and my top three were monkey, penguin and dog. I wonder if they’d be friends? The unfair thing is all throughout my childhood, I whined and tried every trick to get my parents to buy me a pet and they never agreed. But then yesterday on a whim, my mom got my brother a fish tank, and they’re off to find kindred fish spirits at the store soon! That’s okaaay though cause I love EATING fish not PETTING them.
Too bad, tooo bad. Too bad I’m not actually a pessimist.
Oh, are you a pen & pencil type of person or an eraser & whiteout type of person? I think those happy little scented erasers smell so nice and and and I love how they come in all different shapes and sizes and oh jeeepers, I really must check up on my eraser collection. Hopefully it hasn’t melted into a puddle of rubber. Ewww, that’s what the wicked witch must have been like after Hansel and Gretel got her stuck in her oven. But pencils can quite awesome too what with the colored lead and pretty designs. Mmmmh, you be the judge.
Dum, dee dum. I’ll be back!

Why hello, friends! Today I will be discussing cartoons. Specifically, cartoons from Japan! What is Japan, you ask? What a good question! You will be able to find Japan off the coast of the Asian continent.
Japan is an archipelago! What is an archipelago? Well it’s very simple: An archipelago is a chain of cartoons. As some of you may know, Japan is literally made of cartoons. Why do we know this? Because Japan is really good at covering up how badly its economy is failing! But that’s not what I’m here to talk about.
