It's Been Too Long.

I don't know exactly what compelled me to come and revisit my blog but I'm glad I did. I began reading through some of my own posts, mostly the ones with meaning behind them rather than just artwork and such. After reading about previous re-realizations I came upon another. That realization is this: we all tend to get caught up in this fast paced world without even realizing it. We often lose ourselves, forgetting who we are and what we've learned. Picture it like this, we are balloons, everything that influences us (negatively, or not exactly positively) is helium, everything that we learn is just oxygen. We start out as empty balloons and as we learn and grow we get filled up with both oxygen and helium. The helium causes us to drift farther and farther away from earth (or reality) whereas the oxygen just allows us to stay full of that knowledge and experience while still being "down to earth". As we get older and we have influences like mass media and material objects we begin consuming more helium than oxygen and we start drifting away. But every now and then, something comes along, and pokes a little hole in that balloon and you drift back down to earth. You patch yourself up, remember that oxygen is more important and carry on with your life, close to earth. Often the process will repeat because as humans we forget things a lot, but there's always that something that brings us back down whether it's because of a thought you had yourself, a conversation with a friend, or something not so pleasant that forces you to open your eyes to reality. I'm not entirely sure if this is what happens to everyone but I know in my case this is one hundred percent true. I will be the first to admit that I often get too caught up in this fast paced world of technology, gossip, and material objects. For example, lately I've been nearly obsessed with looking at things to buy online. I don't end up buying half of it but I still look at it and say "I want that!" And not until now have I realized that that "want" I have is greed. I do not need that item, I just want it in my possession. Anyways, back to the balloon metaphor, I'm sure someone else feels the same way I do about this, and I think that the people who don't, should maybe try it once in awhile. It feels nearly impossible to never partake in everything that people get so wrapped up in but at least take a break once in awhile to reflect on yourself and your surroundings. People don't take enough time to stop and smell the roses. So, next time you consciously realize that "you're too full of helium" let it go and go sniff some flowers! 

Pony Wikipedia?

Yup, you read that correctly, there is indeed a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic wikipedia! I didn't have time to check out a lot of stuff but from what I can see it looks pretty awesome, so check it out for yourself and brush up on that MLP knowledge! Twilight Sparkle would be proud that you're researching! Click the link below to gain the powerful knowledge of friendship!

***I especially recommend this for all the non-bronies/ non-pegasisters, maybe you'll find that you really like it! But first, I recommend watching some of the episodes but to use this site to expand your knowledge and maybe follow along better. Join the bronies! we're very loving and tolerating people! ;D 

Stumbling

I'm stumbling all over the place! No, don't worry I'm not under the influence. No, I'm not weak and about to faint. I'm stumbling all over the interwebs and you should too! So this site is actually called stumble upon and basically what you do is you fill out your interests, which is fast and easy to do, and it brings you to random places you may like. If you don't like it, you click the thumbs down button and you can continue stumbling on other sites, if you do like it you can check it out further and click the thumbs up button and you'll see more sites like that one. It's really cool, and really helpful if you're bored. I've learned a lot of things on stumble upon too. I've learned things such as beauty and hair tips, things going on around the world, things about literature, relationship advice; I've seen beautiful pictures, funny pictures and embarrassing pictures, I've discovered fun interactive sites, awesome music sites that have expanded my musical knowledge and etc. There's so much on stumble upon, your mind will be blown at some point, I guarantee it. So click on the link below to start stumbling!
