Life is a strange thing. We are born, we live, we die. What we do in our short lifespan is what defines us as human beings, as individual people.
Earlier today, I was running my heart out to get to the local drug store so I could purchase some balloons for "Science Olympiad". I ran about a mile each way in the sweltering heat of early spring, all just to test something out, to try something new. I realized sweating on the way back, is this what I want to do? Do I want to end up like sub-human winning machine. Do I still want to live? Or do I want to move foward?
Is this what defines me? Sweating over for a dream? Is it worth it? Is it worth my life. I've been living, breathing, dreaming about one thing. I've worked so hard that it seems its not my dream anymore. It's my coaches' dream, its my teammates' dream but it ain't my cup of tea anymore.
How can I get out? How can I find my life again? I just want to live my life...I just want to be truly free...

Pop Culture craziness
In our increasingly media-saavy lives, we experience pop culture craziness such as the Back dorm boys. Here are them performing "That way" (Original by the Backstreet Boys)
Enjoy a different slice of the world, courtesy of Youtube. The Back Dorm Boys or known beter as the Chinese Backstreet Boys posted this video back in November 2005. The two of them at the time were college students in Guangzhou, China. This was featured in Vh1's special: Top 40 Internet Superstars. Just another internet video......for you pleasure

Love defies all
What does Love matter?
Love is something that represents the best in all of us. Love does not discriminate, it is color-blind, it is something that is the center of your world, when you're in it, and the thing you hate the most when you're out of it. It does not matter where two people are in the world, but when they fall in love, everything changes.
Since the beginning of time, writers and playwrights have obsessed over it. From Romeo and Juliet, to Titanic, we the writers/creative minds of the world, have been scripting the most beautiful scenes. The scenes that can make grown men cry. Are we all hopeless romantics?
We fight over love, we die for it. It something that it is unexplainable as long as we live. We don't know why we think about it...We're just all clueless...Love defies all, Love defies gravity...

One dream
How far do you go for a dream? For that moment of glory? Even if it takes your entire life, even if it changes who you are.
That's the question that I keep asking myself. I used to be a journalist, used to try to write as many news stories as possible, but I gave that up to have a life. I gave up that dream so I could live, have fun, get away from my house. And I told myself that I hoped I would never have to make that type of decision again.
And life moved on for a while...it seemed like everything would be happier ever after. Until Science Olympiad came knocking around my door. It seems not that I'm so entrenched in the organization, that when my plan to enjoy a season of track surfaced recently it seemed to stoke a fire in the eyes of many.
Is a dream worth giving up everything else. Even know, after three months, I'm just so tired and exhausted from life. I think its changed me, but I don't know for better or worse.
I'm just so lost...What more do you want from me? I've given blood, sweat and tears. What more do you want? I'm human, just like you. This might not matter ten years from this, this might matter alot. Is it worth it? I'll leave that to you to decide.
