"Life in Technicolor" is nice as well...I wanted to write a story about an orchestra...Never got to it; but I never do. xD
...
I actually had another thing to spaz about here, but I forgot--Oh! Another music thing of today: we were watching videos of talented groups in "The Sing-Off"; and one of the guys in one of the groups would be a great model for a character.
[*spazzes; time passes*]
OK. I finished writing those blog posts for English. Now what?...
OH RIGHT. I lost my sports watch somewhere between my 4th and 5th period; how I can't find it I don't know; people are dumb or mean and don't turn in lost items. I did, however, find my brother's scarf.
Random Question: If so many people in the world (or even in America) have such amazing singing abilities, why do we only promote bad ones? I mean, that's an overgeneralization, and I know it. But a lot of the "stars" these days are either quickly losing talent, or they're just pretty faces [aka no talent at all]. I'm trying to figure out if I'm for or against TV making its actors sing...> . > If they can act, let them act. Those who can and want to sing, have them sing. Stop making people sing so much (I'm waiting for Jason Earles's debut to come out; he's the only one left.)
Today is Thankgiving; Turkey Day; Black Friday Eve. Whatever you call it, it's here. I get to eat AGAIN, but let's not forget the cliché but totally traditional and reasonable Giving of Thanks. I mean, when we have a big family feast, I don't really like gathering around and listening to grace, but that's a problem right there. I'm so relatively estranged from my family, due to my quietness, shyness, and weird mindset and humor. I usually sit somewhere quietly and observe...
Whoops. I should really NOT do that. I shouldn't be so soft; I'll get squished. But onto being thankful; I think one reason why not a lot of people actually realize what they should be thankful for and why is because in grade school they kind of drill it into you. "Being thankful" was just something to write poems and essays about. You just thought of your house and your family and your pets and..I don't know, Jewel Osco or something. But that was to fill up paper. Why were you thankful?
I am, actually, technically, thankful and grateful for just about everything. I guess. xD
- My family for always being there and being my family; I'm really quite blessed to even have a family at all.
- My home, because it is my home. I live here, but I take it for granted (or used to, really). Although ever since this economic crisis thing started to act up, I've been afraid that we won't always have this place...
- Did I mention my friends? No? Dang. I really should have put them up there, but I'm too laz--WTBH. It's Thanksgiving, and I'm talking about being thankful for things like life and family, and I'm too lazy to relocate a coupla sentences? I think not!!! [*relocation*]
- FOOD. Whether I like it or not, or eat it or not, I'm grateful we have something to eat. Even if in America we have strange, artificial and possibly morally incorrect ways of feeding ourselves. But in many places, and here in the Land of the Free, people are not so lucky. We apparently have enough food for all 7,000,000,000 of us on the planet, but somehow we can't seem to feed everyone. WHY IS THAT, AMERICA??? (and other countries holding out and rationing food unfairly)
Hmm...in Communist countries, does everyone get food? Probably not...world hunger is worldwide. *SIGH*
Back to the list:
- Um, the world, I guess. It gives me a place to live and experience and enjoy. So, thanks.
- Life. This one's a biggun. I do not know why on earth these people commit suicide. Life is precious, and too short already, so why end it? IDIOTS. I'm sorry, but yes. No matter how bad life gets (unless, you know, you're 30 seconds from being killed with no way out or something), you shouldn't end it. Life is the biggest unpredictable thing ever. It may end at any time; and anything can happen while it's going. So, what if there is a better thing, if you just stick it out and hang in there? You'll never know, if you kill yourself. That's my personal view on it. Hopefully I don't become a bigger hypocrite and kill myself in the future.
- Clothes (shoes included). Not everyone has clothes. And not everyone can have different types of clothes, or clothes that fit.
- School, I guess. Or rather, education. Education gets general knowledge into our heads and lives, and the smart used to control the world; at least, the powerful do. BUT! What is knowledge? Power.
- Computers, machines and other technology. Although they are slowly mentally handicapping us by making our lives a little too easy, they make our work less, and that's something to respect and be grateful for. Don't take these things for granted; some people don't have access to this technology and luxuries.
- Books (and words/writing in general). I like to read; words help spread and explain ideas and thoughts. Books allow me to use my imagination. And do anything.
- Wildlife; plants and animals. Life on this planet would be pretty boring if it was just us humans (not to mention short). Thanks for keeping us alive and giving us a hard time/run for our money. It makes Life all the more exciting and interesting.
- Every person I've ever known in my life. Whether I like you or not, thanks for the time you spent with me, be it 10 seconds (of my life) or all my life. Every person and experience with them, no matter how small, helped shape me into the Me I am today. I like myself, very much, and I and thankful for all the people who made me.
- Good health; I'm not fat or overweight (yet), I'm not in a wheelchair, I'm not in a hospital, and I'm certainly not dead. Thank you world for allowing me the opportunities to enrich my life and live it to the fullest. I apologize for taking it for granted and not taking those opportunities. I hope to change that.
- Myself. Thank you, me, for being myself. I could be some other person, but I don't know how that would be. Thank you, body, for hosting this selfish and foolish person and soul, and I'm sorry I am not taking very good care of you. I want to become less lazy, but apparently certain circumstances must be met; there are too many limiting factors. Oh, and excuses, as I'm sure you've noticed.
- [Universal Force] Thank you for allowing all this above and more to exist, and allowing me to be able to be in the midst of it all.
Let's all make up some sort of grace; one that can be recited at anytime, changed at any time, and hopefully remembered at any time.
Hmmm...
"Thank you, Life, for choosing to reside within me, for however long you will.
Thank you, family, for being there and putting up with me.
Thank you, [High religious figure or Universal Force] for allowing all of This to be,
and for letting me be
to experience it.
Thank you for food and intelligence and people and animals and plants and words and pictures and art and music and land and water and EVERYTHING!!
Thank you oh so very much."
"THANK YOU, EVERYTHING, FOR BEING [and blessing me with the gift of your presence]"
Something along those lines; we should technically be thankful for everything we have or are given.
Happy ThanksGiving Day!~
--Natch.
