Pencils

This is a very creative article by my friend Jake.

A pencil is a perfect example of balance. Having one side to create, and one to destroy, it shows how important balance is. With the tip alone, you cannot correct mistakes, only cross them out and ignore them, but they are still there. With the eraser alone, you can't create new things, only destroy others. But with both, you can create, correct, destroy, and revise, and so balance is achieved.

Chalk song

I posted this song for several reasons.
First, its my favorite song.
Second, you will hear Russian rap, which is hilarious :) !
Third, these girls are talented- they got themselves on television by truly nothing, if you want to hear their story ask me.
Fourth, the music video is enjoyable.
Fifth, the tune is catchy.
Sixth, the lyrics are meaningful, this is to you all of those negative people like me.

Here is the translation:

I am writing on the sidewalk,
Using white chalk, the word "enough".
Enough lies, and enough pain,
Let yourself go free!
I am drawing with white chalk,
All that I wanted for such a long time.
My chalk-lines work like a cardiogram,
Diagnosing our world's heart problems.

Bridge:
Purple chalk dust-
You and me are covered with it.
Life- you are no shark, you don't even have teeth!
Tomorrow my chalk will disappear in puddles,
And hundreds of cars will leave rainbow tire tracks on it.

A grey rock, covered with chalk, that's for someone else.
The words "wait" and "everywhere" are the ones you should forget.
If you want, you can wait until you happiness arrives...I
n about 20 years.
But I don't need the word "if",
I cannot stay in one place!

Bridge

Fingers covered with blue, with white.
White chalk is just like frost.
Blue chalk is just like the sky,
Oh, I wish I had red chalk!
Our world, its disabled!
A colorful person can't live in a black world!
I stole some chalk in 5th grade,I wish I could color my whole life...


Nice song?

Funny and positive :)

This video makes me happy- it is a really low quality russian music video from the early 80's... Enjoy!!!:)

Winterlight

The golden leaves of autumn have all tumbled to the ground.
And winter winds are blowing in,
To toss them all around.

There's a feeling in the air today,
that fall is done for sure.
There's a kind of light that fills the sky,
I know I've seen it before...

Winterlight, winterlight,
Its a glittering, golden, glowing winter's night.
Winter bright...

Winterlight, winterlight,
Its a shivering, silver, shining, silent, night...
Quiet and magical...
Winterlight.

There's a rush, a whoosh of wandering wind,
As snow flies through the air.
There are patterns in the snowflakes,
and they settle on your hair.

Have you ever seen a time of year
More gentle yet more bold?
More full of warmth and blessings,
When you come in from the cold?

Winterlight, winterlight.
Its a glittering, golden, glowing winter's night.
Winter bright..

Winterlight, winterlight.
Its a shivering, silver, shining, silent night...
Quiet and magical...
Winterlight.

And although my winter dreams
Are filled with summer greens,
My summer dreams are filled with winter white!

Winterlight...

Quiet and magical,

Winterlight.

The life of a sea turtle

One of my lifelong dreams is to be a sea turtle. You use your beak to crack the thick shell of the egg open. You see your brothers and sisters hatching around you. You get out of the cracked shell, and crawl to the water. You close your eyes as the water slowly swallows you. You open your eyes, see the beautiful coral, and blue(or green) water of the sea. You swim lower, as the sea draws you deeper. You aren't afraid of anything, not even the dark depths of the sea. Suddenly, you feel something behind you... You turn your eyes backward... And, to your huge surprise, it is a shark. You quickly swim under the nearest rock. The shark swims away... You swim upward, and see a forest of sea grass. You, being quite hungry, feed on it. Now you swim forward, on to the mystries of the sea... What does its depth hold for you?

Autumn

I run out the door,
Feeling the cold autumn air.
I feel rain on my face.
Raindrops here and there.

Trees are shedding their brown leaves,
That once were so green.
Leaves are falling,
Rain in between.

Summer was here yesterday-
But now it isn't here.
Geese are flying south-
Their loud voices in my ear.

Autumn came so suddenly,
So fast I couldn't see.
But isn't autumn wonderful?
With that you should agree

You will hate me, but be yourself.

Yes, about the title... So, I recently got myself into a new group of people. And before that, I was in a group of heavily evil people... So when I came into the new group of people, I started making an image. I started being not myself... When I finally got friends, I realized they were kind people who will take you the way you are, but it was too late, so I am living not myself... I am lucky that I am not able to feel guilt. So, even though this is so corny and old, be yourself, even if you hate it... It will help.
