I was watching a movie today that made me reflect on my own life for once and it got me thinking about some stuff. It had some scenes about the different aspects of life: love, loss, pain, happiness, friendship, family, trust, faith, and strength. I lost my dad when i was just a kid. It changed my life in a way i can't really explain and it tore me apart. i couldn't believe what had happened at that moment and for a while i was in denial. It hurt so bad that i still cry my eyes out sometimes. But even with the loss, sadness and pain, the world isn't over and neither is my life. I know it tore my family apart and i don't get to see my mom and little brother that much, but i still have some things he gave me. He gave me most of all country music which helps me get by more than anything. He also gave me my love for sports and video games...and yeah, believe it or not star wars, too. He was a HARDCORE star wars fan to the bone! haha! One time when he was a kid my grandma bought him over $200 worth of star wars action figures and toys! He was a great man and influence to my life. I owe him my life by living it the best way I can. I try to be the best I can be because one day I'll see him again.
schadenfreude refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach. I was looking for a website to pay a little but not much for blogging. I came one across on called PayPerPost.com and it is actually a bit intriguing the way they set up security measures. If you sign up under register as blogger you can make a profile to get hired by an advertiser to post blogs. The security requires you to copy and paste a random sentence onto a new post on your blog then claim your blog. It's really simple to do and i recommend anyone who wants to get paid for blogs to check out PayPerPost.com. It's a great website for
I've been reading new info lately (and old info, too...) about the so-called Anonymous group. It didn't really shock me when Yahoo! took an interest to publishing a story about them hacking a government website. i did a little research on the group and came across a few comments and 'praises' by people who adore the group. They call them the 'Robin Hood' of the internet. We all should know the story of Robin Hood and how he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He never got caught by anyone or any authorities. My brother talks about this group quite a lot, actually. He admires them in a way a child would look up to a superhero; someone who defies all odds and belief and expresses complete freedom. But life isn't a fairy tale; people die everyday, life sucks like losing the big game before the nationals. This group...they have some great qualities and virtues. They believe Government is corrupt and we as human beings should be free to choose our own paths. Even though they are called criminals. But what is a criminal? The world can label you a lot of things: a freak, nerd, jock, geek, tough, dark, a felon, etc. The literal meaning of a criminal in my own words would probably be this: "A person who breaks a law or rule set in place by a higher authority and declared guilty." See? Does it say in there that they are bad people in any way? So the conclusion of my thoughts is: I'm not for or against anything they do or say, but if you believe they are superheroes in the face of reality you are DEAD wrong. We all have the ability in us to do good. Don't be surprised when you hear a story about people doing right; don't think all the world is evil. Just when you think it is, you again are wrong. Yes, there is evil in the soul of humanity. But deep inside there is a shining light of hope in all of us. We all have the same internal pre-destined values: love, friendship, courage, humility, generousity, strength, faith, and hope. We all have pride and greed; nothing can change that. That's just human nature. But we can change the way we act. We can change the future and forgive the sins of others. All it takes is someone to just do a good deed every now and then. Then, trust me, it will spread like wildfire. We can't make this world a paradise, but we can make it better one small step at a time. Just remember this: "You can't change the past, but you can accept it and change what is to come."
