Be Nice.

So i'm on the train from northern Westchester to new york city, looking at all the pretty scenery, and i start thinking about the earth. Pretty vague, i know. But i was just thinking about the Hudson river, and how it was at one point prolly just a bunch of mountains. Then something happened, like a huge earthquake or whatever, that caused a canyon to form. Im just guessing this because of the palisades cliffs and stuff, im not really going for a full scientific evaluation here. So anyway a small stream slowly eroded all the rocks to form the hudson river valley, yay! Basically the earth's been shaped for the most part by the natural progression of eroding and creation and growing and evolving, blah blah blah, duh. So here's the point of all this rambling. Thousands of years later a bunch of Rockefeller and Trump like dudes decide to come along and knock down, burn to the ground, blow up, kill, drain, and destroy billions of years worth of Mama Earth's hard work. And I mean, there's nothing anyone can do about it, most of the damage is done and its still going on and its not going to stop, i know. But it just started to really bother me.

So then the day after Independence Day, i went to see Wall-E with some friends. I actually had no idea what it about, so i didnt know what to expect, but lets just say i had tears in my eyes like 10 minutes into the movie. It wasn't as if something catastrophic had happened, it was just that it was soo, soo sad. I'll try not to ruin it for everyone but basically the world was one big landfill. Which is a litter and pollution issue, not so much development, but it's all connected. That movie was soo good by the way, i think everyone should see it.

I think I've rambled enough for today so i'll just say that I dont think anyone should be a crazy environmental activist living in trees and stuff, no one should have to be. Just put ur trash in a garbage bin (please), recycle and reuse (its not that hard), and unplug chargers and other stuff ur not really using (just helping youu out - you'll save a ton in electric bills). Be a little nice to our planet, if you can. Or else.

Gone, Daddy, Gone

Winter is absolutely endless.

That said, umm i havent written on here in foreverrr. I guess i just havent really had time, and when i did i probably didnt have anything to say. Not that i have anything in particular to say now, or free time. Theres load of stuff i probably should be doing now, but such is the story of my lifee. Speaking of my life, whats been going on?

Well, for starters after a long period of going through hell and high water to send out all my applications and financial information on time, i've gotten into my top two schools! University of Pittsburgh, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva. Now i just have to choose between a huge research university in a big city that i like, and a small liberal arts college that not many people know of in Somewhere Upstate, NY that has a small-town lakeside campus that im totally in love with. I've always been bad at making decisions.

I'm recovering from the Black Death, which sucked when i had it but is getting much better now. My dad's in Ghana, in Africa, so ive been home with my impossible brother and my trying, but needy mom for about two weeks ....and can look forward to two more! I'm supposed to be researching George Washington Carver for this reading im supposed to do on him this sunday. Im also supposed to be writing a three page poem, and interviewing six adults about thier careers, and reading up on invertabrae, and having a meeting about my girls scout gold award... i shouldve slept in.

Mostly, im waiting for spring to come back. Winter just sucks cause its cold and theres no light and everyones sick and its depressing, really. At least i have some things to look forward to, like Prom and graduation from high school which couldnt come fast enough. Anyway, im going to go sort my life out, maybe ill write again soon...maybe not, but youll get over it.
