I Remember...

I Remember... helping dad on the farm

I Remember...  my first visit to the principles office and I thought I was so bad a$$

I Remember...  remember all my teachers asking if I had ADD or ADHD or LMAO or IDK

I Remember...  my first paycheck and feeling big

I Remember...  my first phone, the LG shine

I Remember...  when we had to put my first dog down because she had arthritis and when we had to give my second one away because we moved

I Remember...  when my parents told me we were moving and I ran and I ran

I Remember...  the first time I crashed my four wheeler and bike

I Remember...  breaking my left collarbone twice in 2 weeks and the bump I feel every day

I Remember...  moving in Christmas break of 8th grade and being the new kid

I Remember...  when everyone kept growing and I didn't

I Remember...  the first girl I really liked and our first kiss and where we were and how long and her lips and the snow and not sleeping when I got
home and it was the greatest all nighter Iv'e pulled

I Remember...  the broken heart

I Remember...  coming to Utah to grandmas every summer and how lonely I was for those 2 weeks

I Remember...  when our power went out for a week and all we had were PB&J's

I Remember...  how sore my butt was the first time I went snowboarding

I Remember...  Disney land for Christmas and churros and the beach

I Remember...  grandma getting sick and having surgery and the ICU and the funeral

I Remember...  when I started to love poetry in Nelsons class in 10th grade and watching videos for
hours

I Remember...  my first first day of school and my last first day of school

I Remember...  when they made me eat a tuna sandwich and hating tuna ever since

Heart to Heart

I woke up this morning at 3:16,
and everything was dark, and quiet, and cold, and beautiful.

And I could hear my heart beat,
and I wondered what it would say if it jumped out if my chest and lay next to me on my bed,
and we had a little "heart to heart".

It would say get up and figure out how to get into college because mom cant hold your hand forever.

And get your grades up or you're not even getting in to that college at all!

And get over your fear of heights because what if Billy really does jump off that cliff, would you do it too?

And go talk to that girl you've had a crush on since last March because the worst thing you could get is a no.

And hug your mom because she loves it even if you think you're too big for it.

And stop spending all of your money, invest and save because someday you'll wish you could buy gas instead of that little Cesar's you had at midnight just because you were bored.

And follow your dreams, if you want to be a poor writer and just live off the poetry and free drinks after the slams that's all the riches you'll need.

And start writing everything down so you have stuff to write about on your blog

And stop procrastinating your homework and go to bed before 9 every once in a while.

And read a book or two or seven

And clean your room, were you raised in a barn?


Then he would stand up and look me in the eyes,


And always follow your heart because inside is what matters most.


The heart has its reasons which reason knows not. --Blaise Pascal

I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine

When I hear nature I hear freedom, 

I hear the birds singing their sweet songs, and the wind in the trees. 

I hear sunshine and grass growing and freedom.

And then I hear my cell phone go off

ring
 ring 
ring
 ring
ring
 ring 
ring 

and it reminds me that I can't sit on the beach of this little pond of freedom forever.

It reminds me that I need to get back to life, and what is important.

college applications
school
graduation packages
work
home
electricity
smoggy air
paved roads
electric cars
oil prices
the stock market

but why is this soo important?

Why is it so important that we be successful when we aren't even seeing the beauty and joy around us, when we're not feeling the sunshine or hearing the birds?

Lets all wake up and escape this

this concrete jungle,
this urban lifestyle,
this prison they call school,

and smell the roses
take a hike
ride a bike
write a poem
go a week without showering
live out of a backpack
learn to play the guitar
go up the canyon
take up a new hobby
learn a new language
go camping
build a fire
ride a horse
skydive
leave your cell phone at home
build a snowman

lets take it back to the simple times when people enjoyed the day, and were apart of nature not annoyed by nature.

Carpe diem --seize the day


(yeah I took all of these)

I Probably Watched This 47 Times












Andrea Gibson --Birthday



And Now We're Here


Its like we were just talking yesterday, 
about how we're going to catch a train and ride it to the end of the tracks
and live happy and free. 
Because nobody makes it out alive, 
so we might as well live it up while we still can. 

We said that we're not going to waste a second of our summer.
Then we sat inside and watched cartoons in our pajamas and wasted the days away.
We said we were going to invent something that could save the world, 
and we would be rich together, 
but those were just silly dreams that never came true. 

Then we grew up,
and grades mattered, 
and girls mattered,
and sports teams mattered,
and we didn't have any time for cartoons or pajamas because we were working our lives away

And now we're here,
well you're gone and I'm here. 
But I'm not sad, because I know you wouldn't want that, 
and because I know you're still here, and that you're watching.

Who Needs College Anyway?

Im scared because I havent done a single thing for college.

Everyone is turning in applications and I'm just twiddling my thumbs hoping that everything will fall into place like some kinda magic puzzle for the plans for the rest of my life.

Do I really even know what job I want to be stuck in for the rest of my life? Not really... like there's that thing I say to my grand parents so that they don't think I'm a total disappointment, but is that really what I want?

Why is everyone's future determined on how much money you want to make? Cant we all just have the same economical status? Guess that's like Communism or something huh?

college is one of the biggest decisions I'm going to make in my life and I am totally lost and alone and don't know what to do.

Ill keep you updated
