Not Alone

 Do you feel like you're walking this walk alone? That your walk is an endless road with too many twists and turns?

Maybe you feel like your life is a maze and you've hit a dead-end. That you can't go anywhere anymore. You think you're stuck?

Maybe...
Maybe you need to back up there's probably a door there. And you just can't see it.


Just look a little harder. There's always a door. No matter how hard things get, you'll come through, because there's always Someone watching you.

So don't think you're alone. You're never alone. There's always someone. Someone who cares, who will hear you. Someone who loves you.

So yeah. That walk that you think you're taking alone?

Look over your shoulder, and I think you'll realize that...



So keep you're chin up. Because there's always Someone loving you. :)

Hey People.

Yes I'm enjoying these single subject Posts Of Encouragement :D And if ya don't like... Well then, don't read it. :) There's always a choice. Always.

Smile :)

   Do you ever get the feeling not everyone enjoys smiling?

Maybe they just need someone to make them smile...


So if you're reading this, right now. I want you to smile. Smile at everyone. See the difference it makes. This world needs more happiness.



Smiles make the difference, believe me. I've seen someone looking so sad, I don't even have to know them, but I smile. And they smile too.  Because people may say

"Love makes the world go 'round."

But really? Smiles are the first step to love. Trust me. There is no better why to show someone that you love them, then to give them a smile.


So are you smiling yet? If not, then maybe you need someone to smile at you.

Here's your challenge of the day.

Smile.

And see the effect you have...

If you find your pic on here just tell me :D But remember to smile :)

Push

How come everyone is always pushing?

• Pushing to be on top
• Pushing to win
• Pushing others where they want them to go
• Pushing for love
• Pushing to be noticed
• Pushing, Pushing Pushing

I'm tired of all this pushing...Tired of being what everyone wants.

I try to be what everyone wants, but sometimes it just feels good to take off the mask...And once my true colours are exposed...Everyone hides :\
It's kind of sad actually. Everyone wants you to be the way they want, but they never stop to listen to you or to be happy for you.

I know this sounds like a rant, but I'm just getting tired. I want people to know that if they keep pushing, I'm going to start pushing back.

Once I was following my family in this huge crowd, it felt like we were going one way and everyone was going the other. I was pushed and pulled back with the crowd. I felt completely hopeless until I saw my dad's head through the mass of people. Then I had to push myself forward, so that I didn`t get lost again.

Yeah... Sorry about this depressingness.... ... ...

Comic Con

So today my family and I went out to the Comic Con. It was pretty cool. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the wait to get in more then I enjoyed the real thing :S Haha, hey watching people arrive in cool costumes is really cool ;)

I didn't get alot of photos, but my dad's friend's wife (lol) got lots and lots, so if your interested in seeing more photos, just keep checking out this post, I'll update it for you.

Anyways, we got there at like...8:45 or something. Then we stood in line. We actually weren't that far back in line. Thankfully.   The lines were crazy at nine though. It was like a snake stretching out of veiw... :|    We stood in line next to Catwoman! She was actually pretty talkitive and funny.

Costume count: There was loooot of Jokers and Harley Quinns there. Same with Legend of Zelda characters. Oh and quite a few Jedi as well. I saw like one or two Cloud Strifes, one Vincent, and lots and lots of other stuff. There was some Disney characters too. Oh and there was a Darth Vader, that made my day. I really wanted to give him bunny ears while he was posing for some people... I was too short... xD

There's Belle. I don't really think she wanted her picture taken..
Oops. Plus, she had a tattoo on her left arm...that didn't really go.... :S
lol...

    I saw storm troopers!!!!! I was so happy!  There was like two of them in one spot and they were doing this really funny dance.     I tapped a storm trooper on the right shoulder then I quickly walked away, my dad's friend's wife was like right behind me, so when the storm trooper turned around he looked right at her. She started laughing her head off and the storm trooper just kind of cocked his head at her. <That was probably the best moment.

It was a long day all in all. Inside it was hot in the crowd, and outside the sun was hot...

  And no...I didn't dress up. I kind of wish I did now, but I really didn't want to pose for a hundred photos. :D   So yeah, more photos coming soon.

Say Awesome friends xD

New Trend Starting

   Yeah, new trends, there's always something goin' round. Be it a new fashion statement or a cold ;) So this is actually one of my best Friendie's ideas and I'm just helping him out abit xD.

So right now, matching socks are pretty much a no-go. Everyone's socks are totally mix'n'matched.

Which I did for a while before it was really popular. I only really do it because my dog eats my socks... :S LOL oops... Anyways, my Friendie's idea is to do the same thing with his shoes. Awesome right? Yes definatly awesome.  I mean if you do it with your socks, why not do it with your shoes right?

Aha! There's my attempt. ^^^ XD Let's see your shot at this new trend. And hey, don't be afraid to try something new. There's nothing scary about being different. Besides in my book, weird and different and strange is awesome.     Usually the weirdos are the ones who make an impact. :D
So remember...

And stay awesome my dear readers :) See you around the bend with our new trend. XD

Rain

    ♪Rain rain, it's okay. Go back to sleep and cry another day ♪

   Yep...rain. I don't actually mind rain. Actually, I love standing outside in the rain. But I don't like rain when it stops us from going outside, or playing at the park with our friends/friendies.
    And someone got this idea in every one's head, that rain is depressing. Is it really?

"If you think sunshine is pure happiness, then you've never danced in the rain."

   I've never danced in the rain, but I want to. Really really want to. If standing out in the rain feels amazing, then dancing in the rain must be exhilarating.

"Life isn't waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain."

   Yes, I love rain poetry. But hey don't rain on my parade. Actually, its fine, life needs more rain.

"When life rains on your parade, look up rather then down. For without the rain, there would be no rainbow."

    So do you think rain is depressing? Do you wish that the sun would just come out and the clouds would go and hide in their bedroom? Then maybe you should go and dance in the rain. It's not hard.

   You don't even need an umbrella...

"Into each life, some rain must fall."

   But it doesn't need to be sad rain. Always remember that. Though you may think everything is going wrong and that the rain won't leave, hold out your hands and turn your face up to the sky. Let the rain fall on you. You might realize it's not all that bad.

Happy Birthday Friendie!

    Yes I'm a die-hard Tiffa&Cloud fan, but this picture was just so sweet, I had to put it on here.
So for those of you who don't know what this picture is; The hand on the left is Cloud's and the hand on the right is Aerith's.   I don't own this picture, but who ever made it was amazing! Its very calm, and beautiful. Don't you think?

So any ways, I just wanted to say happy birthday to my friendie. He doesn't really have a way of checking my blog out, but I'm saying happy birthday anyways :D And that picture I found, made me think of him. Because he likes yellow flowers, and I like final fantasy, so it all kind of worked out :P

So yeah. Enjoy the pic, and Happy Birthday to my Friendie and who ever else is celebrating a special day today.

Avengers!

  Aw yeah! Yesterday night we went and saw the Avengers! It was totally AWESOME!!! Lots of action and battles. And the characters were really well developed. My favourite character was...Hawkeye, I'd have to say. Because I love archery myself (yeah, our homeschool group had a few archery classes :D). But he was also really cool. I also like Captain America/Chris Evens xD, though I like Chris Evens better as Johny Storm (the Human Torch); reason, he's more HOTTER as Johny xD. LOL    Anyways, to tell the truth, I really liked the whole cast, they did an amazing job!
  It was just as good as I had hoped, better actually. The director of the Avengers was also the director of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. He did a grrrrreat job! xD
   You must go see it! It's a must, more then you should go see Hunger Games or Twilight. :D

Later Armadillos!

Heey, I just noticed in the picture up there, there are too STARK towers...weird... :P

Hunger Games; Movie Review

The Hunger Games Movie
Released; March 23 2012
Watched; March 23 2012, 9:45 PM
Length of Movie; 142 mins.
Rated; PG-13
Starring; Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson.
Movie Summery; In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.
_________________________________________________
   Well...That was...Eeeeeeggh.
   I'm going to be as kind as I can, please forgive me if this turns into a rant.
   I think they did a good job with the settings and the castings for the tributes. Jennifer Lawrence did an okay job as Katniss, because I understand it can be a hard roll to play. Josh Hutcherson could have done better. Liam was good...he didn't really say much though. Willow Shields (Primrose Everdeen) did a good job with her part.
   So to me, it seemed really rushed. They cut and changed so much from the book, it was very disappointing. I think if you didn't read the books you would be lost for half of it.
   First of all, the muttations? Those dogs at the end? What the heck?! They were cool and all, but they were supposed to look like the dead tributes. Did they? No. I admit the way they brought it in was cool too, but...
   Now...Rue's death. People were crying and I was all like...WHAT? THAT'S IT? Basically Katniss teams up with Rue, they talk, they sleep, they make a plan, they complete the plan, Rue dies. They should have played that out a bit more! Why are we supposed to feel sorry for this girl she met and hung around for two whole days? I didn't feel any connection. Plus, the romance? That was horrible! They kissed like twice. Star-crossed lovers my butt.
   I think you should watch the movie yourself. Don't take my word for it. Just because it disappointed me, doesn't mean it will disappoint you. My expectations were too high, because I have an over-active imagination, when it comes to books. Which made it hard to enjoy the movie like I did the books.
   Don't get me wrong, I'd watch it again, but as a fan of the books I was disappointed. I feel sorry for the fans who were living for the movie to come out.

My Rating;

Three Lightning Bolts out of five.

Interesting fact; The Hunger Games TRILOGY is being made into FOUR movies. How they plan on pulling that off, I'm not quite sure.

So yeah...I'm hoping they do better for the second movie. They better pick someone good for Finnick.

   Just so you know, John Williams (is the man! XD) is a composer. He did the songs in Star Wars saga, Jaws, Superman, Indiana Jones saga, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,  Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Home Alone and the first three Harry Potter films. That explains why Corey in the video there, used some of the tunes, clicking together now??

   Awesome right?? Yeah I did my home work...surprising? :P

Book Review: The Iron Thorn

 The Iron Thorn
By Caitlin Kittredge.
Page Total 492
Read in Two Days
Book Summery (As found on back of book);
In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical, or born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, time is running shorter by the day.
   Aoife's family is unique in the worst way. Her mother and her older brother, Conrad, both went mad on their sixteenth birthdays. And now, a ward of the state nearing her own sixteenth birthday, Aoife is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.
________________________________________________

  So first off what a name right? Aoife...Type it into Google Translate and hit the speak button, it sounds funny XD

Anyways. I loved this book! The world was amazing! I'd describe the book as a Victorian/Steam-Punk sort of book. Aoife is some one I could defiantly relate to. With the society pushing her to be a "proper lady". She receives a letter crying for help from her brother, and she takes off to help him. Even though he could be crazy.
The only things I didn't enjoy from this book were; It's slightly hard to understand in the beginning. But the author had her own way of describing things, and I respect that. Secondly, the romance didn't come fast enough. Now I know Aoife was scared of becoming mad and all, but I'm a sucker for romance (though I seldom admit it).
The love interest was Dean Harrison. I really liked his character (again that might be because of my romantic interest liking XD). He was smart and he was funny. You could tell That Aoife and Dean were going to end up together, but it took awhile. Cal, Aoife's faithful best friend was also a great character. He loved Aoife, and wanted to keep her safe. Although he was also, like society, trying to make her a good lady like woman. I think that's also why I liked Dean, he respected Aoife, and treated her as an equal.
Aoife has these powers, she calls Weirds. And helps save/begin the destruction of the Iron world.
This book had alot of imagination behind it and it's defiantly something I'd read again, and I encourage you to read it.
If you didn't like it, loved it, or just feel like commenting please do :)
My Rating:

Five Lightning Bolts! Awesome read!

(Alright I'm going to start putting random Movie and Book reviews on here. They won't be a constant thing though. Most likely my favourite or least favourite movies/books. This is my first time doing this so bare with me.)
