The Litte Things

From life, to death, to love and growing up. The little things come along, happen, and can completely change our lives. Maybe we should pay more attention?

Living life isn't exactly easy, its pretty hard if i may say so. Earning a living, surviving, and making sure your family comes home safe and sound each and every day. We go on living and noticing the big things that happen. Such as the Burma cyclone or the tsunami that hit a few years ago in 2004.

But its not only the big things we have to look for, its MOSTLY the little things. The tiny things all around us can not only save our lives, but help us live prosperous and enjoyable lives.

Take into account the may signs of warning given before the cyclone, as obvious as it was, people chose to ignore the threat ans stay in their homes. Not only was this a bad idea, but for most, it cost them their lives. Imagine what would have happened if the tiny bit of warning had been followed and the tiny ignorance had gone away. How many lives could have been saved?

Then there's the heart, a wonderful piece of machinery that without none of us could live with. But then there's the cholesterol molecule, small enough to fit through our veins and when we're least expecting it, kill us. Heart attack, is one of the largest causes of death in the USA, and its caused by a simple and tiny little molecule trying to act big.

Not only do we have to pay attention to the tiny things in life, but we must learn from them. They're obviously doing something right, living so well, and so strongly, that they can take down a full grown human in about 5 minutes.

No, no, no i don't mean go crazy and invent a shrinking machine and become the size of a molecule, but look at the way they act amongst bigger things.

Sure they are afraid, as everyone is, but they learn to overcome. As we have grown over thousands of years, humans are getting lazier and lazier, and the little things stop mattering.

From a virus that can kill you to the life bringing fertilized egg, its always the little detail of fine life that gets ignored. And most often, gets us killed.

Do you notice the little stuff?

The Crazy Perfection

In our tiny little world that's getting smaller and smaller every year. There is a group of people who must, at all costs, strive for perfection.

Some of us strive for money, others strive to be great. Then there's the handful that strive to be perfect. Whether or not they will achieve it, they must still try.

As I sit in class today writing about "Top 5 Things We Want the Internet to Do for Us" I reach across to grasp my friends paper and coming across it with my pencil, on accident..?"ARJUN!!!" she screams, as i sit up fully alert and ready to run in case something gets thrown at me. "My paper! It's ruined!" she says as i start laughing.

It turns out, that my friend just happens to be a perfectionist. Like not even a little bit, but a COMPLETELY big obsessive compulsive about the tiniest things. From a crooked collar on your shirt, to a pencil dot on her paper, shes crazy.

And whats funnier is that, she threw that list out. Why? Just because the pencil mark was on it... you're probably thinking like duh? a Eraser? And that's what i thought, and here's her word for word response. "Who cares! You know that little line mark where the pencil hit will still be there! Gah!"

I laughed and so did the rest of the class, as we put little dots with pens on her folders, papers, and homework. Kinda mean but it may help her overcome her perfectionism.

Kids Rule!

Remember being a kid again, young, and having no worries in the world. As you just sit there with your other friends playing games, try and remember how happy you were.

Being a kid was probably one of the best times in anyones life. You could play without worrying about your boss thinking your wierd. You could eat without packing on the pounds. And you could even do wierd and funny things that no would would think of you as "immature." Being a kid meant you had no worries other than growing up.

The inner kid in you is probably one of the only true happinesses you actually posses. Even if you didnt have a very good childhood, you can still always remember the few or maybe tons of times when you had loads of fun.

Playing games, talking, drawing. The top three pastimes of any kid. Ask any kid what they like to do and most of them will say something along those lines.

If you ever feel a little down or even a bit sad. Go ahead and try to unleash your inner child. You can go take some painting calsses or even just doodle at your desk. Maybe call the guys and have a game of football or "reflex tag." Being a kid again is always fun. Go and check it out!

Me and my brother were really bored one day and we decided to have fun as kids. We ended up pulling our shirts over our knees, and jump on the bed trying to knock each other off. It was actually really fun and we laughed for hours.

Try unleashing YOUR inner child.

What games did you play as a kid that you enjoyed?

Weekend Wakeup

The weekend, a chance to finally lay down at home and rest.

Your muscles are all tired and your brain all worked out. Finally its time to just grab some food and watch tv or go shoping or even catch up on the golfing with friends. Dont you just love em?

As i stumble around in my bed thinking about the school day ahead, and weather or not ive finished my math homework. I suddenly and excitedly realize that its Saturday! I come to my senses and look at my alarm clock witch reads 4:49. Happily i go back to sleep.

I am again woken up later by my dad calling me to wake up. But dont other and fal asleep again. This happens a few times. And my dad gets annoyed.

Finally at around 8:00 i hear my dad comming and decide to finally get up a little bit when SPLASHHHH. Im soaked from head to toe wondering what the *$&% just happened. I look up to see my smiling and laughing dad with a videocamera and a bucket of water.

What a great way to kick of the weekend eh? Atleast we might win something on "Americas Funniest Videos" :D

What do you like to do on the weekends?

Lifes Tricks

Life, its what everyone of us live each and every day. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but mostly just TRICKY!

Life can always play tricks and always WILl play tricks on us. But we must be smart and outsmart life. How you ask? That all depends on the kind of situation your in.

Like for example today, i had two tests to take. One in biology and one in math. My biology period comes before math and my test in that class was the easiest test i have ever taken in my life. I was so unbelieveably suprised and happy at the same time. I was sure to get a good grade now.

This event, SHOULD have taught me a lot. Knowing that life is full of opposites, i should have KNOWN that my Math test was going to be the hardest ever. But, unfortuantly i didnt. I should have figured it out and been able to trick life and be more prepared.

Other times, life leads you in the right direction only to find yourself right back where you started. You may think that this is in-fact another life trick. But actually, its just life telling you that whatever you need is right there, on that exact spot that your standing on. Its all inside you.

Tricking life isnt too hard. Just look inside yourself.

Has life ever tricked you?

April Fools Day

There comes a day in every year meant specifically for the stange and practicle use of jokes. April Fools Day, a wonderous beauty of those who have comic talent and pure brains to whip out such amazing feats.



For April Fools Day, today wasnt a bad day. Most of the time EXPECIALLY in highschool there are tons of teacher/student pranks going on all the time. But this time it wasnt bad. So me and my friends decide we wanted to do something.



Shortly after school we decided to go what is known as the "Invisible Rope Prank." It basically is a game of tug of war across the street and your goal is to let the car comming think your playing a game and stop the car. The more times this happens, the funnier it is. Heres our inspiration for this trick and a little demonstration on how it works. EnjoY!

Did you do any pranks on April Fools Day?

Wake Up Call

Mornings, dont you just love em?

As you slowly awake a few minutes before your alarm clock goes off due to your bodies "memory" of waking up all the time, the birds chirping beautifully and the splish splash of the raindrops on your window. You think about life a little, what you could do better, what you could do less, how to make it better in general. You roll to the side looking at the little shimmer of sunlight just barely peaking through your curtins. BAM BAM BAM BEEP your alarm clock suddenly goes. Your eyes now fully awake ralizing the pain in your hip because you have fallen off the bed due to the sudden suprise of the only one thing that can ruin such a beautiful moment.

This was my morning today, how was yours?
