simply beautiful.

I am sick today; so I stayed home from work to recooperate. I was browsing the internet and came across this picture. It moved me. If you don't know what you're looking at. It's those little ruber bracelets, LiveStrong ... this is a tribute someone took for all the different bracelets that we showing up, if you don't know, everyone you buy money is donated to charity. the person was saying it was cool to her that one person doing good, with a good idea influenced so many others to good things; it got me to thinking, what good can I do, and, if I do something good, who's going to step it up and make a difference too. the person said they probably had 700-800 bracelets on this peice... and it all started with livestrong.
if you wanna check out that persons site, it's http://livingcompassionately.wordpress.com/category/compassion/

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

"i'd want, world peace"

I've been thinking alot about world peace. How hard would it be to actually achieve one day of world peace. honestly. How hard is it, to create peace on a smaller scale, you let the person merge in ahead of you, you offer somebody to cut you in line at the bank, you give sombody a quarter at the vending machine because they dropped theres and it rolled under the machine. I mean honestly, the small things we can do for our follow earth people, can really make there day. I think my favorite "good deed" was buying a lady lunch at Macdonalds, I was in the drive through, and i said to the girl at the cashier how much is the car behind me? and she said an amount, and i said, lemme get that for her. the lady in that car chased me 6 blocks to say thank you, she was in tears. it made me feel good, but it made her feel even better, i've never seen her again, her meal was like 5 bucks, but honestly, it's the little things like that that can make a diference. so instead of boycotting the next big chain, because that's somehow suppost to fix things, by the owner a cup of coffee, and impact him that way, and for goodness sake, smile at people, even if there a jerk to you.

It has come to my attention that death is a very large part of life. I'm not sure why. I know that I'm not scared to die. Having said that, I know that I cry when people I love die. I know that some people are scared to die, but what I don't know is why. Is it the fear of the unknown? I don't really care, maybe it is becasue of my religious believe, but I think death will be a great blessing; I feel like I'll be released from this life that is full of it's crap, I'll loose my cynism and I'll just be. I know, perhaps for me, the unknown seems somewhat exciting, like a new adventure. So why is death such a big part of life? Why isn't it just another little phase we go through? I mean, really, how bad is it. The death that was the hardest for me to deal with was an inhuman death, it was the murder of one of my coworkers, and it was hard, not becasue she was dead, but because some took her young life, and I couldn't understand why. Having said that, I feel like if you die of natural causes, or from illness, it should be considered a blessing, because it's like leveling up in a video game, we've completed the task and we're on to the next adventure.
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."

raise money for the charity of you choice by advertising companies and brands you like anyways! it took just minutes to sign up, and if as legit as it seems, i'm already raising money for mine, put it on your myspace, facebook, whatever, the more views, the more money you raise for your charity, makes sense huh?
so henceforth, every site view i get, will give money to the organization "to right love on her arms", which is a pre suicide prevention agency, that helps people suffering with depression, addiction and related problems, get the help they need, and as i've had some friends with these sad problems, it's pretty important to me. as i looked of the list of organizations, i kept coming back to this. it is so important that people realize their value, that people realize it only takes a ripple to start a wave, and it only take a person to start a ripple. it's so important to me, that people realize that someone loves them. if no one else, which is inconceivable, i love them, and i will love them.
so yeah. visit everyday. :)

everyone must have days they want to last forever; i've had several in my short life, i dunno, i am a realist and i know that if some of those days had lasted forever, i would have really missed out on a lot of things, some even better. but i'm reminded tonight that memories last a lifetime, and that those happy memories far outshine the bad ones. i've been very fortunate in the past through years, to have built up an entire library of memories to ponder upon and to relive. i know i can't go back, but i can think back, and think back to who i was, and i can't help smile to myself, and think what a wonderful world.
