Seeing as how I never update this, and I say that in every update, and also because im as bored as hell, I think that I am just going to write whatever comes to mind anyways.  As for the last 2 days, I have felt like utter (the things on a cow) poopie.  I don’t know what it was, but I am guessing that it was rockies food.  Yeah, I don’t know, that was the only place that I ate at, and I was fine till I ate there…I should sue there asses.  Oh well, hopefully by the time that finals come around, I will be able to concentrate in class instead of having a headache and a bum stomach.  

Speaking of finals, I don’t get done till Thursday, it sucks, I think that I will leave right after my last one, around 5, and then I can be home by 8, just in time to watch smallville, although I don’t know how good the episode is going to be, the preview just looked like a recap of what has happened sofar, it is dubbed as a “smallville movie event.’  But anyways, I am just rambling, which is what I intended to do anyways.  Winters here and the nights are short.  Oh well.

Hopefully I also have a job waiting for me when I go home, I don’t even know what it is going to be.  But it will be for three weeks at about 8 bucks an hour, that’s what I need is money, and this a way that I can get it.  I hope everything goes through.

Well, I guess that I don’t have much to say, or should I say that I don’t have much to share?  Hmm…you may never know.  But anyways,  everyone take care, and merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Hey ya’ll. I finally did a decent sketch. I think that all I have to do is open up painter and go at it. If I start something, I usually try to finish it. Well anyways, here is the link to my most recent drawing. Enjoy.

Panic! At The Disco.  They sound just like fallout boy, which isnt a bad thing.  Maybe you should check them out.  They are a great band.  On a side note, the lead singer of fallout boy is the producer…that may be why they sound similar.  I just love the lyrics to the song “Lying is the most fun a girl can have with her clothes on.”  Check it out.

Anyways, im just procrastinating and trying not to do my writing…but I think im going to start it.

This was the last writing assignment that I did for college writing.  I just felt like posting here because I really like it.  So, hopefully you will like it too.

Speculations on the Nature of Bravery
“Fight till the last gasp,” is what Shakespeare thought about bravery.  He sums a lot of what bravery is in this simple quote; but at the same time, he leaves many of options open.  When you think of bravery, what do you think of?  Do you think about the time you were in trouble, and your parents were brave enough to stand up for you, or the times you were afraid, yet never showed it and were considered brave? Have you ever lost someone and were told that you were brave for handling it the way you did, going into the unknown and discovering something you didn’t know you had, or do you think about all of the young soldiers, risking their lives, and exhibiting their bravery by protecting us?  Surely, one of these examples brings about a memory of bravery sometime in your life.  But as easy as it is to think about bravery, it is so much harder to put this feeling into words.


That is why we need to break it down.  Bravery is a positive word, a compliment, showing respect, doing what is right even if opposed, acting with fear but not allowing others to know it, and risking your life to protect the ones that matter.  To put it simply, bravery is doing what you know to be right and giving others, ones who fight for what they believe, the respect that they deserve.  I know this because every member of my family is brave in a different way.


Christal, my advising sister, is brave in the way of facing the unknown.  She had a child with her boyfriend and in the end, he left her.  She was left alone with nothing but her child and her future.  She has fought for everything she has and has provided for the child and gave him the love of two parents.  Since then, she has found a new man, a husband, and has provided her child with a real father.  She had also given her son a little baby girl.


My brother is Delbert Jr., the older of my two siblings, who has been in the United States Air Force for ten years for the sole purpose of fighting for his country, putting his life on the line, trying to keep the homeland safe.  He has recently returned home from Iraq and is heading back there early next year.  He may not show it, but I know that he is afraid, hiding his fear so that we don’t worry about him.  He is a prime example of bravery to me.  He is aware of the risks, but at the same time, he also feels that he must protect us.


Last are my parents, the loves of my life, who have cared and nurtured me for twenty years.  They have been there to pick me up whenever I was down, encouraging me to follow my dreams, pushing me to strive and do better, fighting for me when I couldn’t fight for myself.  It is bravery that makes them a parent.  To be able to bring a child in to this world and care for them while struggling to care for themselves, that is what makes them brave.


So there it is; bravery in the simplest form that comes to mind.  No matter how you think of bravery, it can always be seen in one of these ways.  There are likely more ways to think of bravery, but none that I can think of.  This is what it is to me, and this is what it may or may not always be.  I am sure that my views of bravery may change throughout my life, or there will be many different ways to define it.  I believe that bravery is based on experiences, and as I grow older and experience more things, there will be many more ways for me to express bravery.

This damned internet at the school is so irritating.  It is never working when you need it to…and by need, I mean when you want to screw around and not do you work.  This is probably just going to turn into a rant, and also, I need an update to this blog.  I have nothing to read.  Ha.  But seriously, I would just like to get into the habit of updating this, I find it interesting to go back and read what I wrote a couple months ago; but on with the blog.

So I just finished watching Batman Begins.  I though that it was a great movie…and the batman franchise finally redeems itself; Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were complete and utter poop.  Those two began to make the serious too light hearted and they portrayed the villains so poorly; where as in Batman Begins, the two villains are given a lot of depth to them.  They actually have a motive; motives that you can understand.  The movie just felt more ‘realistic’ than the last two.  Yeah, yeah.  I know what your saying.  How can a batman movie be realistic, its based on a comic.  But to me, realistic means that it does not take a lot to believe it, and if you have an imagination and don’t question things like, “he could never do that in real life,” then you will think it is “realistic’ too.  Also, Christian Bale, I think, makes an excellent Batman.  Another great movie of his is American Psycho.  Go see it.  You’ll like it.  

Yeah, so I just felt like talking about the movie.  Go figure.  But anyways, maybe I’ll update it soon.

Laters yo.

As is sit here at my computer, bored out of my mind, I take pop tart in hand and clench as my stomach says that it doesn’t want it.  That’s just great.  For one of the first times, I woke up early and I can’t even enjoy a pop tart.  Maybe its from the Chinese yesterday, but I don’t know why.  It’s not like I filled myself up with it.  Then again, I don’t know.  It’ll be gone in a half hour anyways.  

And it seems like every song that I play just irritates me…wait, I just broke out the Senses Fail…hopefully that works…nope.  Anyways, I wonder how today will go; it has already started out not too great.  Oh well, I have been through worse.  I’m just a whiner.  

Nothing new to report, just thought I would update.

Later.
