Letter to Nelson.

Dear Mr nelson.

      I am writing this letter to you for a few reasons. One because I want my blog to be cool and make it into the top five and this is one of the steps for doing that. Two because I feel like I need to say thank you. And three because well I need a second blogpost and Im running out of ideas.

Well Dear Mr Nelson I just wanted to take the time to say Thank you! You have been such a great influence on me, In tenth grade english your class was all that I looked forward to and I think had I not been in your class I may just not have made it this far. You have helped me to appreciate writing and poetry in a whole new way! You were there and helped me when my friend attempted to commit suicide. That was really hard for me and you were there and whether you knew it or not you did help me through it. I just needed to say this to you and let you know that you were and are an amazing teacher and an awesome influence on all of your students! You have so much power that you don't even realize that you hold. You have a tremendous effect on all of your students lives and if it weren't for you I don't know where I would be right now. (definitely not writing on a blog) Well thats all Ive got to say for now. Thank you Mr Nelson! You are awesome!

I Remember

I remember...

I remember when life was easy. I remember when we me and my best friend spent every waking moment together. I remember those warm summer days making the backyard into a water park and running around in the water until we were about to pass out. I remember the big mechanics screwdriver my aunt gave me when I was 3 (I didn't like fake tools I wanted the real ones) I remember how my parents hid it from me because I would chase people around the house with it. I remember when nap time was almost a punishment. I remember when my parents said they were getting a divorce. (I didn't even know what that word meant) I remember how my older sister reacted. I remember how confused I was... I didn't know what was going on. I remember when I would fake sick so I didn't have to go to school. (now I just skip and go get food or something) I remember when my mom bought a new house. I remember how there was teddybear wallpaper in my room and I refused to sleep in it until it was taken down. I remember when my dad started dating again. I remember this one girl he took on a date wouldn't let me sit on the counter to look at the ice-cream. (I always sat on the counter to look at the ice-cream choices. So I didn't like her) I remember how I would always choose the lime green ice-cream. I remember how when I would get ice-cream and I would only use the little sample spoons not the big ones they give you. (I still do that) I remember when I only had one teacher all day and we would write the whole days schedule on the whiteboard. I remember how weird it was to have more than one teacher. I remember when I got a 99% on a test in 9th grade. I remember how the teacher was mad that I didn't study ("because I could have gotten a 100%") I remember when I got to high school. It felt so big. I remember having english 10 with Mr Nelson. I remember thinking about how lucky I had gotten. ("he was the greatest english teacher ever") I remember faking my way through the whole journal writing prompts. I remember how half my page would be about how my hand was cramping up but I had to fill the page. I remember how much I hated trying to fill the page (even though I conformed and did it anyways) I remember how it feels like just yesterday we were starting 10th grade. Now we are graduating high school in just a few months... Weird...

A Forgotten Childhood

classtime

Ok guys i'm sitting here in class and we are all on the laptops.

we all have our own music in and we are all drifting off into our own worlds.

 I think its kind of interesting, stop take a look around, just for a minute maybe take out your headphones and just soak in what is going on around you.

 Its really quite interesting to watch, at least for me because i'm a "people watcher" but just look around you can see quite a lot the kid in front of me is shopping on amazon, (tourist)

Some people look like they are taking a nap(sleep deprived)

some kids just cant sit still while others are tapping so furiously at their computers that they are probably writing some profound and amazing thing that is just going to blow all of our minds, but anyways take a break from the laptop and the music.

and,

just take a look around!

Why I love christmas time.

Why I love this time of year?

• I get to spend time with family
• lots of fun gifts
• I get to give to others
• Helping the less fortunate
• SNOW!!!
• Getting time off of school
• Hanging out with friends
• Snowboarding
• Skiing
• Everyone is just happy 
• All the cheer of christmas 
• Parties
• The real reason for Christmas

(awkward) Well I challenge all of you fellow bloggers to do the same! Get out there and do something crazy insane and something you wouldnt normally do! GO GET SOME!!!


 Peace out homies!

Shoes

Shoes

Shoes are important... Right? I mean I cant just go walking out the front door without shoes or people are going to look at me weird.

Shoes... they say a lot about you don't they? I mean I feel like depending on what kind of shoes and what style of shoes I wear people judge me differently. If I'm wearing some brand new Nike or vans then people think i'm cool but if i show up in some beaten up crappy shoes then people just look at me like i'm not as good as them. But honestly have you ever noticed! people look at me differently just simply depending on what I have on my feet! is that right? Just because of what I put on my feet doesn't tell you the kind of person i am or how i act or what i'm going through.

Or does it??

I don't know i want to think that isn't true... but maybe it is...

NO it cant be true! there is no way!!

but just because its not right doesn't mean that people don't do it anyways.... hmm

Well here is what i say if you want to judge me because of what i am wearing on my feet then i think you need to re evaluate your personal life because most people that judge others harshly and try and look down upon them are the ones that are the most insecure about themselves so you know what i say! BACK THE HELL OFF!! its my life and i will wear whatever kind of shoes i want and you can say that they are "gay" or whatever the hell you want because all it really proves is that you are an insecure bastard and you need to reevaluate your life.


ok that's all.

Music.

Is it just me or does music just have such a major affect on what kind of a mood I am in and also how I feel! Music has such a great effect on my life maybe its just me I don't know? what about you guys does the music you listen to just change your mood in a matter of minutes? Well it does for me and I know this might be weird but I say we share our Itunes Radio list of radios or if you use pandora then what are your pandora stations? SHARE THEM!

mine are

country hits radio

banana pancakes radio

thank you radio

marry me radio

classic radio

imagine dragons radio 

plain white T's radio

GOVERNMENT

Ok I know from the start some people are not going to like what I have to say so im just going to say it anyways if you are easily offended then stop reading now but if your not one of the stupid pot heads of america then read on!

Well if your still reading im guessing that you are not some pot head who is living off the government and just being a lazy asshole well lets continue then. 

As you can probably tell already I do not like Obama or pot heads now when I say that I don't like Obama I am using him as an example for the entire federal government I know he is not the only one to blame here I do not think that we should continue to feed the federal deficit by constantly raising the debt ceiling I mean lets look at it this way if your house is filling with water and it gets to the ceiling are you going to make the ceiling higher so that your house can continue to fill with water? no your going to be doing everything in your power to get as much of that water out as fast as possible its the same concept with the federal deficit! You may think that I am getting off track here but I am getting to my point here in just a minute so stay with me.

I also firmly believe that all the people who depend on the federal government to pay for their living is ridiculous get up and go get a job! stop smoking weed on your couch in your government funded housing and do something for yourself! I feel that if people want to sign up for the WIC program or any government assistance that they should only be on it for a short period of time and that they must prove that they can and are trying to get a job they must also show effort and pass drug tests to that the government can actually help the people who really need it and not just the pot heads who are too lazy to go get a damn job!

well I feel that I have made my point here if you have survived through this whole thing and have some good insight hit me up below in the comment bar and maybe we can share in our frustrations with the govt together 

            -Everest

Space Jam

What is my space jam?

Hmm that is a good question... but first I think I want to talk about my definition of a space jam

to me I would say your space jam is what makes you just get up and be happy it could be many things like your dream in life or whatever it is just what makes you want to get up and do something that is your space jam!

my space jam is well quite a lot of things I want to grow up to be a wealthy business owner and a loving father and husband but that is not the only thing that drives me in life because that is obviously a few years off some other things that drive me is a good jam or song if i start listening to a good song that makes me want to get up and dance! I just feel the need to stand up and do something whatever that might be music can definitely be a space jam for me!

well what is your space jam? comment below and lets talk about this exchange some ideas maybe meet some new people! hit me up!!

Escape

we all need an escape for me its running when i just have too much going on and I dont know what to do with myself when I am just overwhelmed I go for a run clear my head and relieve so much of my stress and after that I can be so much more productive!

some people say "well I don't like to run." well if you don't like to run then thats not your escape try something else out just keep trying new things until you find what makes you feel good and relieves your stress as long as you have your own escape from the world then you will be ok! just find that escape!!


now go get off the computer and go find out what makes you feel alive and gives you that escape from all the drama and havoc of the world I know Im outa here im off to go for a run!! cya!

Death

Death... it is quite an obscure thing really i mean once it happens to you you cant go back and tell anybody about it so there really is no way of knowing what exactly happens on the other side or if there is anything after death.

I was recently told a story from a lady who's mother and aunt had died about a year previously the lady's mother was a mormon and the aunt was a catholic they had died about a week apart and in the same room of the same care center which is kind of a little creepy but it makes for a good experiment.

Dont get me wrong here im not trying to convert any of you guys or tell you what religion is true im simply sharing a story here ok well now that thats clear lets get back to the story so the two sisters died and the when the mother died it was very calm and very peaceful in the room there was no contention or anything and in the same room just about a week later the sister passed away and it was a very dark feeling and it felt very contentious in the room and remember this is the same room and these are sisters who died from roughly the same causes... I thought it was just very interesting and its some food for thought.

well to just finish up this blog post I just want to end it by saying that death sucks and its no fun but it happens to everyone we are all going to die so dont let that affect your life in a negative way help it to be motivation to live your life to the fullest and dont let opportunities pass you by now get off the damn computer and go out there and live your life! (unless this is for homework then you can finish that first its kind of important)

suicide...

So many people talk of the light and happiness in this world you get to look at disneyland and see the perfect family but that is not all the truth...

there are a lot of people out there who are suffering and hurting and you want to help them you reach out and try and give them a hand! you tell them to get off the bridge its not worth jumping! But those are just words and what do they really mean I mean lets be real here for a minute they have been hurting for so long they just cant take it anymore they alcohol isn't working for them they put on a brave face and go outside and face the world every day...

we all go to school with some people that are dealing with this, that when they go home from school they don't get to go home to a loving mother and a father that works. I mean obviously their mother loves them but she doesn't know what to do their dad doesn't go to work so they have to work and help support their family and what do you do then when the drugs just aren't strong enough and you live in a broken home and the alcohol cant numb the pain...

So I challenge all of you to put a smile on your face say hello to someone in the halls as you pass don't pull out your phones and put your heads down and pretend that you don't see them because you don't know who that person is or what they are going through for all you know they could be at that bridge and ready to jump... and it all comes down to you are you going to be the one person that makes it so they don't? Well I know im going to try a lot harder to be there for these people because I don't want to see them hurt and be in pain day after day and all you can do sometimes is to listen and if that is all it takes to get them to the next day then that is good enough!


Dont jump life gets better!

FEAR

Im not going to lie to you guys IM AFRAID I have my own fears but lets be honest here I mean who doesn't...



haha am i right?


I dont know maybe im wrong...

Im scared what if ive been wrong this whole time!

NO stop it you cant think that way you just have to keep going one step at a time!

but maybe im headed in the wrong direction... oh no what should i do now???

I dont know where im going i mean they pick you up point you in a direction and just tell you to go but what if from the very start they pointed me in the wrong direction! what if this whole time i have just been running and going and im just headed farther and farther from where i need to be...


Well I can't live life like that today is the day that I decide MY FATE and I get to choose what direction is right for me! Nobody gets to tell me what im supposed to do or where im supposed to go today is the day that I stand up from the crowd and say NO I am me and Im just fine with who I am going to be

!

Naptime!

Sleep is quite an important thing! You may not realize it as a young child but as you grow older you want it more and more and the problem is that as you hit high school you have to be an adult and grow up! Well I say screw that!! I don't wanna grow up and be an adult and have to wake up early every morning I say that is lame! I'd much rather just go back to kindergarten and and take back my nap time! Stand up! Fight back! Do not let all these teachers push you around fight back and TAKE BACK NAP TIME!!!

Bricks

Bricks... They are such a solid and easily defined thing they are hard you can touch them or hold them they aren't going to go anywhere if you set them on the ground. Bricks will be there no matter what! They don't break very easy they are always just simple and there quite the opposite of love which is ridiculously hard to define!! How do you define something that is not concrete like a brick you can't hold love you can't see it and hold it in your hands bricks are quite simple to understand and love is absolutely not!

welcome to the world of blogging!

I would like to take a moment and welcome everyone to the world of blogging!

        Well your all here now lets get started. I am pretty new at this whole blogging thing myself but hey lets give it a whirl. So if you want to be a good blogger then have fun with it write about things you do during the day and fun places you go and the things you see! But whatever you do pick a theme for your blog! Decide now what it is that you are going to blog about because that way you can start to connect with other bloggers that have the same interests as you. (Don't set off a blog bomb) Pick what you enjoy the most and connect with other people that enjoy those same things and start blogging with them! Personally my blog is a writers blog!

       Also when you do pick a blog and start blogging Dont let yourself become one of those predictable bloggers that everyone knows exactly what they are going to be writing about the same thing every time they post! spice things up! post once on a monday and then maybe not for three or four days and then post four days in a row keep people interested so they keep coming back for more!

       Last but definitely not least if you want to be an awesome blogger start by reading other peoples blogs! You want to have the best blog then rip off and steal the best ideas from all the other bloggers! Read those blogs and make a top five favorites blog list because they are gonna be honored that you liked their work enough to steal the idea!

 well thats all i've got to say for now about blogging well Ill cya on the flip side

What Is Love??

What is love? Can someone please explain this to me... I just don't understand because everyone says "well when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much..." and you know the rest of the story, but really what is it? I mean come on anyone can say they love each other but do they really? How do I know what they mean?? There are so many different ways people use the freaking word love! For example I love my dog, that obviously isn't the same as me saying I LOVE my girlfriend!


         So if we are all saying we love this and we love that then how do any of us really even know what we really are talking about! I mean for reals thou! How am I supposed to go through my whole life just guessing oh they probably were using it in this way or in that way. well I think that is bull crap! someone really needs to make this more simple. Lets put it this way, If I love my dog thats one thing but I LOVE my girlfriend and that is completely different so I don't think we can ever really explain what love really is so we all just have to learn how to decipher what people mean when they use that damn word! that is how we are all going to have to live the rest of our lives well I guess I can live with that. not that I have any other options anyway...

Crayons!

          Why are we so afraid to draw? to color? we weren't just a few years ago. If you hand some crayons and paper to a kindergartner they will just color to their hearts content they aren't going to worry about staying in the lines and watching what colors they use so that it looks nice all they really care about is to have fun and enjoy themselves!


         So I challenge you! Go right now get off the computer, put down the phone, go grab some paper and some crayons and just express yourself show your inner colors don't worry about what anyone else is going to say about it! Be creative! Enjoy yourself and challenge the social norms of today show everyone that you are you and there is nobody else on this earth that is better than you! Be your own wacky wild self and I know that you will enjoy it! If you are feeling really wild and crazy start your own blog and try it out with me! Don't worry its all a learning process we are all out here doing something new for the first time! so put yourself out there you never know what you might discover! For all you know you might be the next Picasso so put down the phone, get off the computer and pick up the crayons and the paper and just start to color! I promise you wont regret it!!


                   Enjoy the coloring!

How Do I Know???

          How do I know whether or not I am human? Do you know? I mean lets be real here for a second I might just be a robot and this is all just programming that makes me believe i'm human! How do any of us know that we truly are humans? For all we really know we might just be programmed to believe that we are when in reality we are all just a bunch of robots.

   
           I know I'M HUMAN! How you might ask well I know that i'm human because I can feel things and in more than just touching and feeling but I can also feel emotions and to be completely honest here I don't think that its possible for someone to write some sort of code or programming to make each person react and feel differently about such little things. Also I know that i'm human because I grow and change I get physically bigger and stronger for one but also as I age I have different opinions about things and the way things should be done, or the way the world should work, I have different insights into things as life goes on. So that is how I know that I am human! But do you? has what I wrote here on this blog made you think are we really human? maybe were dancer? Well maybe we are just robots but there is always a chance.
