Lisa Frank

The most inspirational paragraph I have feasted my eyes upon.

          "Lisa Frank is not the name of a woman, it is the name of a movement, a culture, a way of living. It is a theory, a concept, a belief in something greater than yourself. It is the belief that all girls are entitled to dolphins covered with rainbows, jewel-encrusted frogs, and unicorns in acid-trip colors hugging each other. It is the ideology that no notebook is complete until it literally hurts your eyes to look at from so much color saturation. It is the hope that no school supply, no matter how insignificant, will be left un-bedazzled. It is the knowledge that your eraser cap, and that of your granddaughter’s, and her granddaughter’s after her, will not be some boring little nub–it will be a diamond covered with butterflies in a rainbow of colors. It is the dream of a better tomorrow."

20 years of living.

November 26, 2011

I'm 20!! Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday I was a 16 years old dreaming of the day I could drive my own car, all by my lonesome. Now as I am 20 I wish that people would drive me around so I wouldn't have to spend money on this dag-on expensive gas!? This upcoming year of my life is going to spectacular, I can feel it in muh bones...

Evil Steam.

I'm never boiling water again!!! Never!!

You can give me wood, matches, and a field and I won't get burned. You give me noodles, a pot, and boiling water and you would think I was trying to boil my hand off. Steam is the devil of all water elements. As I type this my thumb is throbbing in excruciating pain. From this day on I will NEVER make noodles without the right protective gear aka supervision.

Bucket List #2

To spend one (or more) year(s) of my life traveling the world.

Documenting it as I go. 

Taking more pictures then my camera can contain. 

Meeting thousands of new people. 

Making memories. 

Trying new things.

 Longboarding in Spain. (When I learn). 

Collecting a million tourist stickers.

 Exploring the world God created to it's fullest. 

All I need is: a travel partner, time, camera, luggage, money, and a map :)

11/11/11

At 11:11pm I will, for the first time ever (upon this hour), make a wish. I see it as an event where I will wish for whatever earthly material thing I want! Oh the decisions that need to be made with in this next hour...

The Alarm Clock.

beep, beep, beep

Is there anyone out there who just anticipates the ringing, dinging, or beeping of their morning alarm clock?

 I am most certainly not one of those people. Don't get me wrong I love the morning. It's what goes on before my morning starts I can't tolerate. In many of my cases my alarm clock is considered the "ruiner of all awesome dreams." Why, you may ask? Allow me to tell you. I have never reached the climax point of any of my action filled dreams due to my alarm clock. It's as if it knows the exact point in my dream at which it would be most impactful to ruin!? In most cases I frantically hit snooze in hopes of completing my dream within the next five minutes, but I can never seem to re-open the dream no matter how hard I try. It is tragic really. Every morning I am getting awoken by this screaming inconsiderate machine whose life purpose is to interrupt my slumber. Although I see many annoying aspects to the alarm clock they were obviously designed for a practical purpose: waking you up so you wont be late for life-stuff. But that is not really a good enough pro for me to begin to love my alarm clock. So I took it upon myself to design a new way of looking at the alarm clock to make it seem more enjoyable. 

This method may not work for everybody, but if your like me it will work!

It's simple really. Just pretend the alarm clock is a bomb. A bomb that if detonated will destroy the entire world, and the only one who qualifies to disarm the bomb is you. So basically you save the planet every morning. You have been given such a great responsibility and I for one would not want to let the world explode because I was sleepy. 

And that is my solution for the dreadful alarm clock.
