What is Time?

So I've had a ton of thinking time and I just want to know. What makes time pass, what is it measured in? I mean is it the tress that change...or how about that papers you write? I just can't understand it. Because I've been at school for almost a month and I can't seem to comprehend that time is passing so quickly.I really don't want it to.

But I guess it just I don't want time to go quickly. I don't want the seniors to graduate and I don't want to be a senior myself. Because truthfully I'm scared of the future and where I will go? I'm very insecure and it doesn't help at all with anything.

But on the other hand I still haven't really figured anything out. Other than how to exhaust myself. But well that won't help me really.

Peace out.

The Sketchbook Project. and some world news.

So I really have been doing some serious Internet surfing. And well my friend shoed me this which is pretty bank.

It is the Sketchbook project, and it allows regular people to be an artist in a museum (sort of)!



So what is this whole dealo? Well you sign up on the website (Up there ^) and for a mere 25 dollar they send you a small sketch book that you can fill based on a theme that you choose, or that they randomly choose for you. Then you send it back by a certain date and it's put in the art library, where you may track your book and then go visit the exhibits and see others. I think it's pretty cool.

There is a article on Cnn.com that is about world hunger, and since this is quite an important issue to me I opened it.

The U.N. (That's the United Nations) says that the people still suffering from chronic hunger is unacceptable. Even with the large drop from 1.023 billion hungry to
925 million, there is still someone dying every few minutes, heck even seconds. Even though people help it is far from enough, and with food prices once again raising it may cause a problem and increase in the number of people starving.

Here are some facts from the article.

Among the study's key findings were:
• Two thirds of undernourished people live in just seven countries -- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia.
• The region with the most undernourished people continues to be Asia and the Pacific, with 578 million.
• But the proportion of undernourished people remains highest in sub-Saharan Africa -- at 30 percent in 2010, or 239 million.

On the Harry Potter rereading I'm doing! I forgot so much stuff!!! I was like HOLY CRAP WHAT DID THOSE MOVIES DO TO ME!! D: But well it's good to get back to the roots, and even though I know whats going to happen I still feel myself getting pulled into the story and characters all over again. It's a great feeling, and it helps me get away from my school work sometimes. So...yeah! Now I have to go to class!

Love, PEACE, and chicken Grease.

Harry Potter And the Sorcerer's Stone


So I'm re-reading the first Harry Potter book. Because apparently I have been tainted by the movies and the amount of fanfiction I have read. My view of actual canon had been skewed. So viola I am reading the first.

And whoa! Total reason to love my college it was in their library along with like every awesome book (though the Twilight monster was present) I was too excited to get Harry Potter, but I spied Petter Rabbit and I was like! HECK YEAH! I don't doubt that Lord of the Rings is up there too. But I was like doing the happy dance. YEAH! Harry Potter fest. And they have all of the moves and books. though I'm going to be avoiding the movies. Unless I want to Ogle over Alan Rickman,
(now that's a man) and possibly Radcliffe.

But I'm going back to my roots to try and well ya know get in touch with my love of the original characters. And work my way back up to the seventh book. Then I don't know I may attempt the twilight monster like my sister wants me to. >.> But I still have to read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings first. (It's Hobbit Forming!! sorry blame my father)
