What If Everyone Cared

What If Everyone Cared

I sit at my computer rather despondent not knowing what to do. I go online and pull up YouTube then look up Nickelback (I’ve been listing to a lot of their music lately). There’s quite a bit of songs that come up on the search. I scroll down; seen that one, seen that one, seen- oh wait “If Everyone Cared”, hm interesting. Might as well watch it, I think, as I pull it up. After I wait about an hour for the song to load I pull it up. The music and the video astounded me it made me what to go on a tirade about peace and make a difference it made me realize that if you put in the effort you can achieve great things and if you do it right really make a difference. What if everyone cared?

Grandpa

Grandpa

I look up

sweat dripping

down my face

like droplets of water

dripping down

a clear window pane

Your running beside me

treading along

like a speedy racehorse

trained to endure

a thousand mile race

You smile at me

cheerful

as always

like a young child

on Christmas morning

fooling every passerby

more than once

I’ve been asked if

your middle aged

you’ve shown me many things

and pushed me to my limits

always telling me to do my best

eight miles now

and I feel weary

but you

you seem as if you

haven’t even broken a sweat

Slice Of Life Thursday

The street lights shine above me, as I skate below on the street. I pop my board up and push it to the side, landing a pop shuv it. It’s a beautiful night, and you can see the moon, peeking out from behind the clouds. Behind me I can hear my friends talking and laughing it’s a normal day after school. Tomorrow I have a math exam; maybe I should study, I think, but I don’t. I keep on skating under the street lights and moon light sky.

"I’m Taller Than You!"

"I’m Taller Than You!"

You know what I hate when people brag about their height. Yep, that’s right I abhor it. I know you tall people are despondent and interminably haunted by short people’s awesomeness and are impelled to tease us but at least try to be affable (just don’t say anything). I know that you tall people aren’t very profound so just leave it (go live your sorry reclusive lives). I’m not going to name any names (Cough Nicholas) but your comments about height are pretty annoying. I know you get a tremulous voice whenever you think about how cool it would be to be short like me but you aren’t so just live with it! I know you might think my tirade might be a bit over exaggerated but you should take my sage advice and be nicer to short people.

Whats To Confess?

Whats to Confess?

It’s Confession Tuesday and I don’t know what to write (what’s new). Ok, I confess that it’s hard for me to start writing. It seems that when I need to write my mind just goes blank and the only things I can think about are things that have nothing to do with the assignment. So there you have my Confession Tuesday and I have one less thing I can write about next time. Happy! (at least I tried). 

Another Memoir Monday

Memoir Monday

I look out the window at the trees, meadows, and snow topped mountains rolling along below me as I fly above on an airplane. This is my home the place were I’ve lived for two years but it seems like I’ve lived here forever. I think about skiing in winter and hiking in the summer about playing soccer with my friends and my morning run to school all those things that had become so normal to me were now going to be gone as I wandered off in into the weird and unknown country of Panama. What would I do there in the rainforests and by the so called Panama Canal too exotic things that seemed a world away would I have any friends, go to a fun school, live in a nice neighborhood? What would happen…?

          “Exiting isn’t it,” said my mom as the plane started to go higher and higher up in to the clouds. Exiting? Well that’s true it is something new and there will be lots of cool things to discover, and as I flew up into the clouds I started thinking about what I could do in Panama and all the cool things that would be there.

Stacy Peralta,

Hello, how are you? I am your number one fan. I’ve watched Lords of Dogtown and seen the documentary Dogtown Z boys both on numerous occasions. Its Amazing how you extricated yourself from your difficult life with a enthusiastic disposition. You contributed your skill to the most pivotal time in skateboarding history and made skateboarding a prevalent pass time among the young generations. Although skateboarding has been modified since your great career you are still an important skateboarder in history and I wish to someday have instilled your imperative skating style with mine.

Sincerely Your Anonymous Fan

Cayuco Girls

The Truth about Cayuco

Ok, I have a confession to make, you know those Cayoco races, that everbody is crazy about here in Panama, well it is fun to see people race, and get to find out who wins, but that’s not the real reason why I love watching them. Ok, now I’m going to have you use your brain a bit; Girls and water, what do girls usually wear around water? Ok bingo, now Cayuco girls are athletic, humorous, and oh so sexy. Now really, why do you think, I think it’s great to watch the Cayuco races? and usually right after a race, a bunch of Cayuco girls will go over to my friends house, and ask if you watched them, of course its always good to have the right answer to that one. So Dad I’m sorry, I do like to see you do the Cayuco races and find out how you did but really that’s not why I so enthusiastically skate over to all the Races and watch them.

Patience Pays Off

Patience Pays Off

           

“Sloan get out of the room I’m working!” I yell as my brother starts to slowly open the door. My brother makes a face and runs away little brat I think as I turn my eyes toward the computer screen. After I’ve typed about one sentence my brother is back in I yell at him again and he proceeds to do the normal. This goes on about ten more times (yeah you guessed it now I’m really pissed off). My brother comes in again and I look at him maybe I should be nice I think.

“Hey Sloan would you like to read what I’m writing” I say.

My brother looks bewildered but then in a small voice he says “Of course”.

The rest of the day my brother was really nice to me and I didn’t need to scream at him any more. From that I learned that patience really does pay off.

Slice Of Life Thursday: Playing Guitar

Slice Of Life Thursday

I sit on my bed my guitar in my hands as my fingers fly from string to string and fret to fret. I’m playing a fast blues riff looking into space angrily I’m upset and bored and don’t know what to do. I try not to think and to push all the thought out of my head (usually when I do that I can come up with some pretty cool tunes). Slowly my mind starts to blank out and the melodies get slower and slower softer and softer until I’m playing a soothing classical song my mind completely intertwined with the music.
