the pursuit of happyness

"It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?"

"You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period. "

"The important thing about that freedom train, is it's got to climb mountains. We ALL have to climb mountains, you know. Mountains that go way up high, and mountains that go deep and low"

"This part of my life... this part right here? This is called "happyness." "

the time is now...

new post time apparently... my sister amanda told me it was time i updated my blog and told the world about my life. well there's not much too say so this may become short and maybe sweet.

soccer season has now started and it is so much fun ...although i am very sore today and can barely walk, i guess that's what you get when you do absolutely no physical activity for a long time then try go hard core in a matter of hours. then 24 hours after playing soccer figuring your body can take going for a run ...flip what was i thinking?? somebody please tell me.

well yesturday at about four o'clock some transformer in hazelton fell down or something and all of the north from hazelton to houston lost power for 24 hours, it was brutal having nothing to do. no tv, no msn, no going to town because nothings open, not even school today... that was the one amazing thing about the power going out. but the rest was a real eye opener of what we have to do without our main resource of power!

i don't know what else is new, i've been going to school, hang out with friends, going to work, drinking lots of mocha's ...i really can't tell you what else is new because seriously that's pretty much it. i do have a busy life but i don't excactly know what it gets so busy from, i guess just a combo of all that stuff makes it busy. i got "places to go and people to see"

i am starting to think that summer is coming but last time when i said that spring was coming two days later it snowed... so i hope i don't jynx it again this time. but we finally have leaves on the trees, bugs flying around (down fall of summer time), people walking everywhere, soaking up the sun, wearing shades... you know.

i feel like i am boring you all with my life story, but i guess a sisters got to do what a sisters got to do, anything for you manda.

dreams

dreaming of a place

i dream of a place
a place far away
with sun sand and sea
just so far away.
i dream of an island
i dream im lost at sea
i just dream about anything
thats not here u see.
i dream im in space
i dream im flying high
i dream so i dont have to ask why.
i dream to escape
the harsh reality of life
the cold world
that surrounds my life
but i dream to keep going
it keeps me safe
just to know that my dreams
is the only place where im completly safe

dreams ...dreams ...dreams we all have them, we all want them to come true. sometimes i wonder what are the chances of everyones dream coming true. yes i have my dreams... but will they happen. sometimes doubts overcome dreams ...its the dreams that have to keep going and the doubt that has to stop.
