It's not Easy (Superman)

Dear Reader,

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find the better part of me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

Five for Fighting wrote this song about how being a man. You can still be a superhero and it is still hard to do the things we normally do in life. Nobody's perfect. No one can be completely calm all the time; sometimes you will explode or break down.

This week has been hard. I'm still trying to put my finger on the exact problem that provokes my irritability and annoyance this week. I don't like feeling like that. As explained in the song's lyrics, I wish that I could cry because that would help me get these feelings out my system.

The climax of these negative feelings came while talking with two of my best friends. They were asking me some questions out of nowhere which I didn't quite understand. Trying to be a nice person and appease them because I love them, their questions were answered in time. After a certain point in the conversation, the feelings became too much and the frustration of why they were asking about this particular topic overwhelmed me. One of my friends was very offended by the way I responded to her. I do hope she will forgive me, but that was an accurate and proper response on my part.

It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede?
Even Heroes have the right to dream

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...
