Of many different things.

So today I had a dentist appointment at 8am (I know, what an unholy summer hour) for a regular check up and cleaning. My mom picked me up from home, drove me there, and while filling out the dental/medical sheet, we messed up twice and had to get new forms.

Yeah. What can I say, it was at an unholy hour. Then after we finished filling out that horrible sheet I went in for my cleaning and check up. Good news, I have zero cavities. Bad news, I went out with more pain than I came in with. What is it with dentists and pain?

Anyways while looking for random philosophy stuff, I stumbled across this odd, yet slightly refreshing website called the Interactive Social Contract. The web address is http://vototron.com/On this website you can create Laws, Bylaws, oppose whatever ideas you disagree with, and support those you do. The navigation takes some getting used to, but overall personally I think it's an enjoyable website! Check it out!

Revelations and Plans

SURPRISE. My parents just told me that I'm leaving on Wednesday to go to Oklahoma. My family owns a little house up by a lake, and I was told earlier before school let out that I wasn't going to be able to go, but surprise surprise my parents changed their mind again!
I'm not disappointed, oh no, I'm ecstatic. Maybe now I'll be able to get some moccasins to match my coon skin Davey Crockett hat. It's kind of funny when I go up to Oklahoma because everyone thinks I'm an American Indian, but they are sadly mistaken. I'm 50% Filipino and Whitey, and the only way I'm connected to Native Americans is through marriage. I'm more Jewish than I am Indian. No lie.

Along with finding out that I'm leaving for Oklahoma soon, I discovered that my dad, Mr. Business Entrepreneur was in Leadership of Longview with non other than the father of the boy that made public school hell for me. Luke Durden's dad is friends with my dad. It's the end of the world. Ok, so I'm being over dramatic. I'm entitled to be freaked out, especially since it was Luke who accused me (at a symphony no less!) of being adopted. Also, I might add, Luke is secretly my intellectual rival. Secretly.

So other than the trips I have coming up, I plan on making some super rad digital, and real life art.

I plan on making a LARGE army man, gun and all. Also, I've already made Bekka Birthday gift numero dos. It's super cute.

I plan on making the most of summer, even if I am partially shut off from friends.

Not a Smudge.

When I start to feel insignificant, like a tiny little smudge on the window of humanity, I just remember all the times the universe has been kind to me.

Like that one time at a Debate Tourney I placed higher than Philip Hayes, my ivy league bound arch nemesis. Psha, I could so totally win that $250,000 scholarship if I wanted to. Darn him for having a video camera.

Or that one time I found money on the ground, and used it to buy a super awesome T-Shirt.

Or all the times I got "21" while playing BlackJack. Seriously, it happens quite often.

Or whenever I do something, and it benefits not only me, but other people, and then a plethora of good things happen to me.

So when I feel like a tiny smudge, I just think of all the nice things that have happened to me, and all of the small, but great things I've been lucky enough to do, then I don't feel so small.
