Relax

Knowing that a break is up and coming alway helps me step back a bit and chill, knowing that I have that time ahead of me to do what I need to get done and just chill is a relief . It provides the time need to catch up on all those things I'm behind in, homework, sleep, and all the other essentials for a healthy life as a teenager. Though the upcoming winter break may be an overwhelming experience in the terms of Christmas. Christmas is always a really big deal for my family, its one of the few times a year we all get together, and while I'm all for maintaining familiar ties, it makes holidays kind of a hassle. Holidays usually entail my family going to at least two or three different houses, for miscellaneous different parties. Finding time to relax may be difficult but I'm sure I'll manage, New years is mine to do with as I wish, for the second year now. Whats your resolution?

Priorities

In this year, I've made a number of not so good choices. I'd go as far as to say, I've made some outright bad choices. Perhaps this isn't out of the norm for a teenager, but my priorities have been in all the wrong places. Placing friends and parties over academic advancement. And now that I'm starting college up in the next few weeks, I really need to get my priorities straight. School first, Then worry about friends, relationships, and the rest of life. How I do in school determines the kind of life I can expect after graduation, I'd like to think my friends are important, and they are to me, but I really need to do better in school. I'm sure they'll understand this means less free time to spend with them, but such is life. If only there were more hours in a day.

The Color Purple

When we left off, it was with the color Purple. One might wonder, what exactly does Purple have to do with anything? Well, you see, when dying hair, each chemical has a certain time that it must be left in contact with the hair being colored, and a certain period for oxidation, Black for example takes about twenty -some minutes. Purple on the other hand takes just short of an hour. So when I say this decision started with Purple, it actually started in that period of oxidation. It's odd, where one's mind goes when stuck stagnant for a prolonged period. After a short time, my musings wandered to the future. What was I going to do with my life? Deciding to be a model may seem, well, a little weird. And it's defiantly not going to be my entire career, or life.........

And writers block has set in, that dreaded condition all writers fear, when words no longer come to mind. I had a delicious cinnamon roll for breakfast this morning, and am still nursing a cup of coffee. Six school buses passed me this morning, while I stood smoke my morning cigarette, waiting for my own bus to take me to school, the sun was just rising at this time, casting an odd orange glow to the world, it's weird. It's only four degrees out today, but it doesn't feel that cold. It's more refreshing, though I wish I would have had my hat, I wonder where I put it? My paper for Larry's class is due today, not that I'm done with it. I'll have to finish it this weekend and turn it in Monday, I wonder how many points he's going to take off?
Two weeks until Christmas, and I've yet to start shopping, but I'm not sweating it yet, It'll all work out. Things always do, if you wait long enough. Most problems solve themselves. Eventually.

I've decided to be a male model.

That's right, I've Decided to try for a job as a male model. I have no delusions as to being perfectly suited, but I have high hopes. So this morning I decided to dress myself up, toss on some make-up, and get one of the fabulous photographers I know to help make me up a portfolio. This decision hasn't been completely random, but was defiantly spurred by spending nearly two and a half hours getting my hair done yesterday. I'm ending this post with a poll, and a question.

The Poll: Would I be a good model?

And, Who knows a good place to start?

Growing up... To be a Model... The Beginnng

Originally, I had decided to tell the story of my life, but after composing the first chapter, it was really kind of dull, and seemed too much like a sob story. I've now decided to tell the story of my decision to be a model. As with all stories, this one needs a beginning, and in this story, that beginning is with the realization that it would be kind of cool to be a model. We start off, in a car speeding towards the mall, early on a chill Sunday morning, I use chill in both contexts, as it was kind of cold, yet also very relaxed. Upon arriving at the mall, I set about to complete my mission for the day, just a simple hair cut, yet it didn't stay that way. I've been going to the same hair dresser for nearly two years now, and have actually stopped having to decide what to do with my hair, and started trusting in the artistic design of my hair dresser, for the sake of this story, I'm going to give this mysterious hair dresser a name, Justin. Today was much like any other visit, except this one started with the color purple.

My Writings

I like to believe that I'm a proficient writer, I have a major tendency to over use commas, and to use commas in place of periods. Quite often my works are inspired by a certain quote, or ideal. This is exemplified by the posts: Elegies- Sextus Propertius, and Silver Opportunities. I think I also tend to be a bit wandering in my thought process, which reflects in my writing. I'd like to think that my writings are interesting for other people to read, as I defiantly have a lot of fun writing them! I think my grammar is usually correct, and I try to use correct spelling and punctuation. I'm not sure how much personality actually manages to get through to the readers, but I try to make my writings have as much voice and personality as possible.

The Student that I Read.

The Student that I read, manages to maintain a tone of writing that is serious at times, and whimsical when appropriate. Her writings carry a real depth of emotion that allows the readers a momentary glance into her life, as it actually is. For the most part the writings are grammatically correct, and appear well edited. The perspective audience of their blog holds an amazing range, and I feel that someone of pretty much any age group stands to gain some useful perspective in reading it. As a whole this Blog reads in a manner that is stylized, but not overly so, and is also full of a voice, that holds a large range of emotion, ranging easily from whimsical to cynical. I sincerely hope that this writer will keep up the god work, and I look forward to reading more.
