Self Portraits

We All Have Our Scars

April 15, 2010 – 12:59 am

I got inspired to do this post from a great song called Scars by Allison Iraheta. The song is about how she tries to be what the guy wants but she has faults like everyone else. He keeps trying to make her perfect or find someone who is perfect. This is one of the things I do not like about our society and culture. Trying to form someone or yourself into the thing called “perfect”. There is not a person who is perfect in this world. We all make mistakes and we all have our faults. Its human nature. Like it or not.

I witness it in and out of school. People not liking someone because of faults. For example, I know a few teenagers who do not like someone just because of their looks. Their looks! If you are going to hate someone because they do not fit your picture of good looking then that is just wrong. Most people (including me) when they look at themselves in the mirror they do not like what they see. I could point out hundreds of things I would change about my looks and body but we forget where the true beauty is. The true beauty is inside of us.

Here are some of my faults and flaws: Short. Not skinny. Bad at math. Depression. Attachment problems. Hiding my feelings and thoughts. Being unique. Adopted. Love to eat. Doing stupid stuff without thinking. Crying. Being me. Not being a girly girl. Ugly. Dog Lover. Quiet. Loud. Etc… You are all probably thinking I am crazy for writing most of those as some of my faults. I do know though there are people out there who would put me down for a lot of the stuff that I listed. It has happened but I am not going to change to get into the “perfect” category. I do know that there are people who love me for most of the stuff on that list and that is what gives me strength to help me continue to be me.

Oh, I forgot! There are perfect people. Do you know who? The people who accept their faults, other people’s faults and live as themselves without changing. Dont let people who are negative about your faults bring you down. Just laugh. Why? Because those people have just as many faults as you do. Let me tell you something. If you think life would be better if you were perfect with no faults you are kidding yourself. Life would be boring. No goals. No lessons to learn. So, enjoy being imperfect because that is what makes you unique and special.

Christmas Holidays

Christmas In My Ears

November 19, 2009 – 12:15 am

A lot of people do not start listening to Christmas music until a few weeks or days before the holiday and stop listening to it when Christmas is over. Not me. I start months before and continue listening to it after Christmas passes. What can I say. I just love Christmas music. The songs are beautiful, upbeat and just tell wonderful stories. I guess it is also because I love Christmas, but I will explain that more in detail when Christmas is right around the corner. There is not many Christmas songs that I do not like but there are certain singers that I just love singing Christmas songs. For example, Josh Groban has a great spiritual voice. My favorite Christmas song he does is Silent Night. Just makes the song so beautiful and touching. One of my top favorite singers, Carrie Underwood does a wonderful version of Do You Hear What I Hear. Her strong voice is perfect for the song. My last one I will share with you is Oh Holy Night sung by Celine Dion. Her beautiful voice just fills the song with emotion. The cd above is a great Christmas album. They do not have the versions of songs I mentioned but it is still a cd i recommend.
Christmas is not too far away so everyone be prepared. It will be here quicker than you know it. My mom and I do not get all Christmas-y until after her birthday which is December 4th. Its our rule. Anyways, it felt like it was coming today because of the chilly here. I was all bundled up in my sweatshirt today. Nice and cozy. I hope you all had a nice Wednesday and do not forget to stay bundled up in the cold weather. Peace

Sleepy Sunday

October 18, 2009 – 11:58 pm

DSC_0005Tomorrow is already Monday. It came around way too fast. Someone must of changed the time. Well, it is alright. School is going fine. No big news about it. Im getting fine grades which I am happy about. My biggest goals for this year is to get good grades. Want to finish school with knowing I tried my hardest.

Colleges? Well, my school is obsessed with getting students to look into colleges. So, if I do go to college it probably will be a community college. What for? Maybe photography or some kind of animal care. I will have to see where my path of the future takes me. Step by step and I will get where I want to.

Anyways, I am awake since I slept til like one in the afternoon today. Hehe. So, I am gonna play some music. Maybe dance in my chair like usual and surf the net for awhile. I hope you all had a nice weekend and are ready for Monday. Really though not many people are excited for Monday. Hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.

Wetland Wednesday

August 12, 2009 – 9:54 pm

Crane_Bronx_ZooIts been rainy here all day. Rain rain rain! Geez. Please rain go away for a few weeks and come back another time. I want the shining hot sun so I can feel like it is summer and I can be outside more. I had a sinus headache today but its going away. Woohoo!

Did you all hear the news? The sad sad news? Brooks & Dunn are going to go their seperate ways after a 2010 tour. They have been together since 1990 but they decided it was time to end their duo. Brooks & Dunn, I will keep you in my ears and never forget one of the best country duo’s out there.

Okay, my camera situation…I do not feel like talking about the whole story. Just that its stil going to be a little while before I get my camera back. I will survive. I will find other things to do. Maybe, I will write more. Maybe I should share some of my poetry with  you all.

I took this photo a long time ago. It was freshman year in highschool. My biology class went to the Bronx Zoo. I took a few photos there of the great animals. This was one of the cranes. I thought this photo came out pretty nicely. Especially, since I was using a canon point and shoot. That was my first digital camera until that broke and I got my nikon d40. So, what do you think of the shot?

Well, I am going to stay up a little. I need some late nights this summer before I have school and start passing out early. I will be up for awhile surfing the net, listening to some good music and talking to homies. So stay safe and happy. Peace.

Speeding By

July 24, 2009 – 9:07 pm

speedingbycarHello everybody. TGIF.  I am up at the cabin and it was a pretty nice day. The weather changed between sunny to cloudy all day with some rain. I got to drive to the food store and back and I did not hit anything. I feel a little more comfortable driving each time. Still haven’t groomed Lady but I am seriously going to do it tomorrow morning. She really needs it done and I really need to do it. Oh, also my mother got Daughtry’s new album for me and I love it! Such great music!

I am kinda upset about my camera right now. I took a load of photos the other day and I had to get rid of most of them because there is some kind of mark or smudge on all of them on the top. It is not a big mark but I am very picky and do not like to crop. I think its the mirror inside that needs cleaning. My mother says we should bring it to the store because she doesn’t want us to scratch it unless I find some safe method to clean it. It is just upsetting because I cant take photos til I clean it or take it to a camera store. I am missing all these good opportunities to photograph things. I hate when you do not have your camera you see all these great photos you could take if you had your camera. I hope to get it clean soon.

Do you like this photo? I was having fun with shutter speed one day in my town. I think this photo is pretty cool with the building in the background and the car going by all blurry. Just gives the photo motion. Oh by the way this car is a red mini. Cute little cars. I will talk to you all soon. Going to hang out, talk to people, surf the net and listen to music. Please let me know what you think and I will talk to you all soon. Also, if you know how to clean a camera mirror and also the lenses safely let me know. Thanks. Enjoy the rest of your Friday night and Saturday. Peace.

Shaggy Lady

July 23, 2009 – 6:54 pm

LadyBackyardBWHello. Hope everyone had a nice Thursday so far. Mine was good. Did nothing much except chores around the house and chilled out. There was some sun today but mostly clouds and rain. Luckily, I do not have a sinus headache today.

My mom is taking off tomarrow and we are going up to the cabin for a three day weekend. It will be nice and the weather is suppose to be nice atleast on Saturday. I will definitely bring my camera up there like usual and I will get some photos if there is any nice weather.

On the radio today I heard that Daughtry’s new album, Leave This Town, is finally available. I am so excited! Daughtry is amazing and I already know I like the song “No Surprise” from their new album. My mother said if she can she will get the album to listen to in the car tomorrow on the way up to the cabin. If not I will definitely get it one of these days.

As you can tell in this photo Lady is very shaggy and fluffy. Tomorrow up at the cabin she is going to get shaved down. I did not get to it today so I must do it tomorrow. She needs her summer haircut and also she is hot. Plus she has mats all over that definitely need to come off. Lady is going to feel like velvet after being groomed and she is going to look so beautiful. Do you like this photo? I took this photo a few days ago. It was in color but I did not like it so I converted it to black and white. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy this post and I will post again tomorrow at the cabin. Also, have a nice rest of the night if I do not talk to you. All of you be excited because tomorrow is Friday. Stay happy and safe. I will enjoy the rest of the night hanging out with the dogs, surfing the net and listening to music. Peace.
