there's something oddly enjoyable about a certain level of pain, and there's something oddly unpleasant about a certain level of pleasure. sometimes I wonder how similar those two things are.

The War of Love, Hate and Addiction
The War of Love, Hate and Addiction
I'm gunna need more than a nicotine patch
and a drunken stupor
to forget my broken promise, to never leave
to forget my addiction, to numb it with thoughts of freedom
aint no rehab gunna do me any good
don't wanna substitute to get me off of you
I once was trapped
you made me free
but soon I could see, I was only free
within walls.
I gotta spread my wings&fly
but as I fly away
I can hear your cry
it hits me in the air like a heavyweight
and now I'm flying with this weight
they tell me not to cry
how can I not cry?
who am I

Alright, so to kick off this new year and new school semester, my English teacher had us write a short list of ten things we want to do before we die. This made me think, and it motivated me to actually write out a full list. I've always wanted to write a full bucket list, but I never sat down to actually write it, so here it goes.
- Go skydiving
- Write a song
- Make a comic book
- High-five a "do not walk" sign
- Relearn Vietnamese
- Learn how to not be so awkward
- Perform onstage, either solo or with a partner
- Get married
- Help someone get over their sadness
- Become fairly well known, preferably at least to the point where s

My Snow Flower and I....
I met her 5 years ago in a winter blast. Snow had fallen and my hill became the perfect place to sled. I was still new to the neighborhood and was worried about meeting new people. My youngest brother had walked up to the new people that had been sledding on our hill and I went with him. There I met her.....The Snow Flower. She was a tomboy....adventurous, brave, talkative, smiling, and not afraid to take any chance. I was awestruck. I never met a real tomboy before....at least I didn't remember. A little later we decided to team up and we became the fastest team on the hill! As time passed by we became closer.....friendly punches and pushes
How to become a good artist by Dumbass-Red, journal
How to become a good artist
A. Work hard and learn the basics of drawing (composition, perspective, anatomy / shape, color theory, volume / light, etc.). You can not call yourself an artist who knows, yet does not become so. Ideally, you just have to know these basics, but to master them. And when mastered, will not only knowledgeable, but confident and authoritative artist.

You can learn a lot by improving their basic
