When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun, then you grow up and learn to be cautious; you could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

I don't know what a Hollaback girl is... all I know is I want her dead
Ok I have a few videos that I want to share with you...
First, here is a family guy video and I must say it really makes me laugh. I love this show because it is so my sense of humor. Completely random and smart. When I was first introduced to this show I thought it was stupid. (And the certain someone who introduced it to me likes to point out a lot that I didn't like it at first) I vaguely remember saying something like "It's a cartoon, aren't we a little old to be watching cartoons?" No - it's a cartoon for adults and it's hilarious. So watch and laugh. Would you like an apple pie with that?
Now let's take it in another direction. I love this video and all the Anaheim ballet videos. Very awesome. It makes me wish I could go back in time and study dance. I always wanted to dance but my parents always said they didn't have the money for me to take class so I guess I just forgot about it. But then in college I took a beginning ballet class with a couple friends to get our fine arts credit. And yes it was entertaining for reasons we won't get into now, it was also eye opening. I really enjoyed the class actually. And the teacher also told me, between the "you could use a few extra crunches" remarks, she told me I had good natural feet. So the lightbulb went off in my head at that moment - I probably would've been a pretty succesful dancer. I definitely wouldn't be in the shape that I am in now, that's for sure. But coulda woulda shoulda. Maybe one day I will take some classes, but in the meantime I can enjoy these videos of the Anaheim Ballet and live vicariously. So here's a little taste...
Anyways, I have future plans for many more paintings and I can't wait to start on them. My summer is going to be filled with art. I might even try to sell some of my paintings. As I finish them I will post pictures for all to see. My latest - which I call "Caldera" is in the previous post that I did earlier in case you missed it.
Ok that is all for now.

Row Row Row your Boat...
Ok here it is - the finished product. I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Although I could spend probably another year making changes to it and I will never be happy. I know this about myself, so I have to tell myself to put down the paintbrush before I really mess it up.
I am giving this painting to my roommate for her birthday tomorrow. She loves boats and pictures of boats, hence what I decided to paint for her. But I like it because it is cropped and it's not typical.
Anyways, work is becoming more and more exhausting. I really don't know how to help this child and I have almost accepted the fact that it's not going to happen on my watch. But I have to hope that one day it will get better - at least for the parents' sake. He's a tough kid and has some deep rooted issues. What it is, I'm not sure really, but I know that it's a lot bigger than not wanting to do his homework or being irresponsible. There is a rage there. And hopefully one day he will be able to conquer that. He is truly a smart and good kid. I can see that. Anyone can see that. I just pray that one day his attitude will improve.
I'm really looking forward to coming home this weekend! It will be a nice break right before exams start. But I'm happy to say that I'm really not that worried about my exams.
Ok who noticed my awesome music player over there ------------------>
Pretty sweet eh? Now you can listen to the music that I love!
Oh snap.
