Sunburn.

I'm not sure whether to be disgusted or offended by "America's Best Teen Writers and Artists".

I was ultimately unimpressed.

Granted, I didn't read every story, and most of the pages of artwork were torn out of the library book i got.

(The artwork that I saw was pretty cool though)

But.

It was like, everything was so out there/'original'/off-the-beaten-path

that the path they were walking was incredibly beaten.

 not that the writing was bad, but the content of the writing.

everything was so not generic, that it was.

i liked the poems though. some of them were pretty nice.

but it seems like all the writing was mostly negativenegativenegative.

and there was a profuse amount of explitives.

but what i really think i got out of the stories that i read,

was that there weren't a whole lot about good things.

love

hope

family

redemption

honesty

there was a lot of hardships,

and those stories need to be told

but

i think that the stories lacked anything really very moral

really very in-depth

really very good.

there was a whole lot of bad

and not a whole lot of good.

tell me about something good, please?

is our generation really that depressed?

i dont think i really said what i wanted, just tried to. or something.

naomi

A little something on redemption.

I really wanted the ending to go differently.

I wanted him to shoot the guy.

BAM!

he's dead.

I wanted it to end sarcastically, cynically, there's no right or wrong in life, who cares if the main character sniped the guy?

I wanted it to end with more lies, harsh.

i know i really couldnt do that, not to my audience or my character.

i dont know.

i think i couldve done better with it.

i dunno.

naomi

A little something on frustration.

writing.

it's kinda not that hard for me, really. i mean, i just write.

i don't try to make things too complicated,

i don't worry about plot,

or conflict,

or character development

(and this of course excludes the elnovelle)

i just

w r i t e.

maybe that's why i'm having trouble with this assignment, with this sort of straightforward thing that should be easy, that should come to me like all the rest of my writing has.

i'm not writing.

i'm thinking.

usually when i start a story, a short one, it begins with one thought. provoked from walking about, from listening to music, from seeing something. from feeling something in particular.

but i don't know what it is,

something about it being an assignment, this worry that it wont be good, this feeling that i cant really even think of anything to write.

writing is like painting, and at the moment, i have no subject to paint.

if i were a painter, i think i would be one of the one that just throws colours on the canvas, just tosses em right on there. i think that's how i write. choppy, with miniscule blots of emotions and actions.

i can write the other way, i just choose not to.

i dont know.

that's the main thing.

i really dont know why this is frustrating me so much.

that making a short story, one that is serious and full of something true and emotions and conflict and resolutiong.

i dont know why it is stopping me.

but im sure ill climb the wall. or something.

Philadelphia!

Well, last weekend we went to a wedding in Philadelphia, for my terrific cousin Matt! and it was a beautiful wedding :) it was such a weekend that i have created a nice facebook folder for it :D and you can basically get the whole story there.

In short, we arrived Friday night. Got Pizza. Watched Frank Caliendo and Brian REgan on TV, and went to bed. Saturday, we headed into downtown to Reading Terminal/Station. It was amazing. Best smoothie of all time=Cheese Steaks. Cant go wrong. Then the wedding, which was held at the Bartram Gardens, which may be one of the most beautiful places I've  ever seen. Like GAH.

unfortunately, i only had my one roll of film on me :P and i didn't bring my tele lens. failsense. But! the wedding was very nice :)

and then we partied it out at the reception.

and the fact of the matter is, you really haven;t lived until you've met someone named scoby, or titus. true story :)
and this is the album with lotslots of pictures. im not finished uploading all of em yet, but i will soon:)

Perfection.

Armando Galarraga pitched two perfect games.

One last night, which was robbed on a call,

with two outs,

in the ninth,

when the guy

was

OUT

and the ump called him safe.

and one after the game, and today.

The class shown by him,

when he said to the media "nobodies perfect",

when he shook hands with the man who robbed him of history this afternoon,

when he didn't yell,

or shout.

he seemed like the only one who really understood what happened.

that no matter what,

he had a perfect game.

and he does, in the mind of everyone,

even the ump who botched the call,

the very first in tiger's history.

and with the way galarraga acted afterward,

that was played perfectly.

so, he may go down as the only pitcher,

to ever pitch two perfect games.

p e r f e c t i o n

not the way you pitch

but the way you act

means more

true story.

scenery.

you know,

if you always stand out,

you'll just become part of the scenery,

and you won't stand out anymore.

you say

"me, i'm different"

and we say

"you, that's just the way you are"

if you try to make yourself different,

and that's not who you are,

than that's not what you want.

don't be different than who you are.

be who you are

even if you don't stand out

be your part of the scenery.

because without your part,

it wouldn't be the same.

if the scenery is beautiful,

why change it?

photographers gack over bokeh,

and that's just the backround.

we haven't even gotten to the people in focus.

every part is special.

every part makes the picture.

one might stand out more than the other.

but that doesn't mean it's more important than the others.

don't be different.

be who you are.
