Wrestling

I went to a few wrestling matches at RIC and I enjoyed watching everyone get pumped up for the matches.  Jay Jones (Coach) was my English teacher in 10th and 12th grade.

BOOK TALK

 

The "Open Books Open Minds" conference was quite interesting, but it was kind of boring.  I have never been to a conference in my life, so it was an interesting experience.  If all conferences have food then I'm in!

CHRIS HERREN EVENT

 

                                  Chris Herren is honestly one of the best motivational speakers out there and I am happy that I went to this event.  He came to my high school last year and I was surprised how he turned his life around when it went spiraling out of control. Drugs are bad.........

Family Photo

This is a picture of my four yearold cousin sitting on my lap, even though that is hard determine. By her being a child, I had to take about ten photos of us because she would either look away, blink, smile after the picture is taken and move around making the picture blurry or distorted. The viewer can make the assumption that my cousin and I are sitting on the couch somewhere in a house, but it not clear which room we are sitting in or if there are any other people in the area. I am at my Dad's neice's house (cousin) sitting in her living room where to the left is another couch with my younger cousin's older and little sister are sitting. On the left side diagonal from me is a big TV and stand. In my cousins hand she is playing a game on her mom's iphone. My sweatshirt is hard to read since it is covered, but it says "Dream Big". My cousin's shirt says "Santa Loves Me". This photo reminds me of all the great times me and my little cousin had. It is a great feeling to see someone grow from when they were a baby to attending in pre-school. It reminds me how time just flys by and that everyone should cherish who and what they have in their life.

Trapped in Space

Sometimes I want to grab my helmet and blast off in my non existing saucer.
Just go far away to the moon.
238,900 miles away from earth.
Stay up there until the bad times fade.
Stare up at the stars
and look deep within the vast infinite darkness that's surrounding the whole constellation.
Sit down, close my eyes,
look deep inside my soul
and blast off in an astral projection traveling with the speed of light back to earth. 

Still Life of Me
