The Lost Generation

I got this really cool video from my grandma and I think it has a really cool message, make sure you watch the whole thing.


I am age-wise, on the beginning of what is aften called the "Lost Generation." More specifically my generation was called Generation X. As Junior Highers, "Lost" term more applies to you and people your age. I do not believe this is accurate. Each generation will make its own way. In their youth the "Greatest Generation", your grandparents and great grandparents- those that were a part of WWII, was called a bunch of degenerates whose moral depravity would sink the nation. How wrong those naysayers of the 30's and 40's proved to be. Each peer group makes its own path and it starts with individuals- people like you deciding to stand up for what is right and not allowing people to pidgeon-hole them into a "type." 2 Timothy 4:12 says "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."
Now go and live it.

If you can't tell

I like dogs. I think they are so cool. Dogs always think the best of you. They are so unconditional with their affection, doesn't matter who or what you are, your dog will love you.

I always wonder what is it in dogs that make them act heroic. There are plenty of cases of dogs saving their masters- considering how loyal and affectionate they are, that almost could be expected. But dogs also save strangers and even other animals. Why? What is in them that creates this rescue-attitude? I got this cool clip that shows one dog's crazy bravery. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I got this sweet video from my uncle and I thought I would share it all with you. I also included a video of people's reaction to the dance- I like in particular what that last lady had to say. I have always felt that I am a "stop and smell the roses" kind of person, one that looks for little things of joy in everyday life. I think I do still do that to some extent but I am not as good at it as I used to be. I am lucky that on my way home from work there is this part in the road when I am close to my house that you can see the ocean as you are driving. Beautiful- you can see the lagoon too and when it is really clear, you can also see those islands that are off our coast that I don't know the name of(why don't they teach that kind of stuff in school?). I always remember to stop and say thanks at that point of my drive but I want to think abot that kind of stuff more. I don't want to let my circumstance dictate my mood, rather I want to be a joyful person and therefore see joyful things around me. Does this make sense? I do stop and smell the roses, maybe I just need to spend more time in gardens.

I'm sorry

I forgot that I haven't updated this. You know I meant to. I even am all set for my next couple of blogs. Here is the first thing I wanted to post.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! These people are professionals! I know you have always wanted to put random things in the microwave just to see what happens- I sure have! But I also know you don't want your parents to kill you for blowing up the house. So you were only left to imagine what may happen if you put a bottl eof Elmers glue in the microwave. You must just dream of what eggs would do or gelatin cups because how can you know? Well that is why you read my blog:) I know what happens. And soon you will too. Check out this link and remember DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

I would save the christmas lights for last- they are my favorite:)

I am sick:(

Hi all. I feel crummy. My nose is runny, my brain is foggy, and my body is achy. Curling up in bed sounds absolutely delightful right now. I find a lot of comfort in a cup of hot tea. I don't know why but something about it is very soothing and makes me feel better (a little). I got this stuff at home called Yogi Tea. They have teas to boost you immune system, tea for cold season as well as regular types of tea. Right now my favorite is this throat therapy one- it coats your throat and gets rid of that dry, hacking feeling. I have always enjoyed tea- I blame Star Trek really. I though Capt. Picard was so cool and he would always order form the replicator, "Earl Grey, hot" and so I forged into the world of Earl Grey Tea and a passion was born. I still like Earl Grey but now I tend to go more for the less caffinated kinds. Green Ginger, Berry Blossom White, and plain Chai are some of my favorites. I overdid the whole coffee thing a year or so ago so I gave up coffee completely and even now only have decaf on occasion, but instead of my daily cup 'o joe, now I have a cup of tea. And I enjoy it. Today I am having Chai with cream. Cream in the tea, while very brittish, is fairly new to me. I only like cream, so far, in Chai and Earl Grey. I hope this has been educational. Thank you.
