Family

Today I'm staying home from school because my mom was too tired to take me up and I had a dentist appointment. So I've been pondering.

My brother Elijah has an interview today. Hopefully that goes well. He's been very organized about all the job interviews and possibilities. It's sortof strange for me to see him these days. He's a real man, and that's weird since I remember when he was just a child. He's older than me though. The other day he made some sort of oyster/clam dinner with horseradish and (perhaps) ginger. I (unfortunatly) was gone to dinner at a different family's house and was unable to eat his dinner. However, when I came home, the house smelled delicious. Elijah is now cooking dinner almost every night. And honestly, he's a very interesting cook. Very creative, and though I might joke around (perhaps too much) about how its gross, the food is actually quite good. (most of the time that is ;D)

My mother is on the phone right now. Lately I've been talking to her quite a bit. I'm enjoying her company a lot more than I used to. I think I just appreciate her more.

I suppose I appreciate everything a bit more than I used to. I think mabye its because I'm growing up. Maturing. Or mabye not. I don't really know. What I do know is that the little things in life are much easier to be happy (or sad) about than they used to be.

I went to the park yesterday with my two sisters(Lana, Joanna), my mother, my nephew(Levi) and my two neices. Technically, Charlotte(neice) was first and then Ariana(neice) joined us later.

It was very fun... my brother-in-law(Jonathan) came after a while as well. We got to feed the ducks, watch a muskrat swim around, get very sick on the merry-go-round, and have a very fun time. It was a perfect President's Day.

Emotions of a Muse

It's Christmas Break. And it couldn't have come at a better time.

Over the past week and a half, I don't think I've ever been more angry at a single person. Or perhaps... I suppose it's not anger. It's dissapointment.

There are a few very specific things or mindsets I hate.

First, Lies. I hate lies, accusations, bending of the truth. I cannot be around people who lie frequently.

Second, Arrogance/Pride. I hate those who love themselves, who put themselves above others. Whether or not they seem to have a good reason. Pride is the Fall of Man. Humility, the Robe of Kings.

Third, Discrimination/Bigotry. This is more flexible, as some people deserve discrimination for their actions. However, I hate the thought that one should be discriminated against for thier race, age, or religious beliefs. (Religion is different in the fact that some 'religions' are absolutely immoral and sinful. I may also make the case that certain people's mindsets are practically a 'religion' to them, and are immoral or sinful.) Bigotry is simply pride gone crazy.

Now, two of these three are involved with the person I'm dissapointed/angry with. Therefore, I find myself more upset and bothered than ever before.

How can I find a song to relate to this? I've written a couple, and one of my friends (who is in the band I am in) wrote some too. But to find a popular song, perhaps a combination of McFly's "Bubblewrap", Carli Simon's (ft. Mick Jagger) "Your So Vain", and Arcade Fire's "Rebellion(Lies)".
