there's something in the distance, a glorious existance

today i am feeling somewhat lucky. for what i have. we are watching this movie in history called sometime in april. it is about the genocide in rwanda. it is so painful for me to watch, and makes me feel awful. makes me think that there were so many people that arent living now because of it. and all of the people who are still living, but will never forget the awful things that happened. we havent finished the movie yet, but leaving class today, i couldnt feel anything, it made me feel so depressed. i really didnt understand though how my friends could just go right on laughing. or how they could talk during the movie. it was difficult for me to feel anything but sadness after watching it. i also didnt understand when a teacher told us to take notes on anger, sadness, and hope. i felt the anger and the sadness, but i didnt feel like hope was anywhere to be found. anyways, it is a very distressing and depressing movie. i still would like to finish it though.
sorry no picture today. my dad just switched computers or something so i dont know where all my pictures are, but i will figure it out later.
also today i have soccer tryouts. i am getting very nervous. i always do.
today is the start of the weekend though, and i have no homework! and now we are doing trig in math, which is easy (so far ahah) and i finished all in class! i will try to enjoy the nice weather this weekend, today i sat out in my backyard, very pleasant.

it's getting close to sundown, over the sierra

right now i have lucy in the sky with diamonds stuck in my head. its starting to get annoying. we are playing this beatles piece in band, but i dont like the arrangement at all really. or maybe its just my part.

i havent posted in a while, but that is because the computer keeps going slow and messing stuff up, so sorry 'bout that.

today i went for a run around my neighborhood. i dont really go for runs very often, even though i should. but the end of this week is when soccer tryouts are, and im getting nervous. hence the need to go for a run. oh and when i was out running, i saw a black tulip. pretty cool, yes? no picture though sadly. maybe i will go back later.

have you seen the movie gattaca? we had to watch it in science (all you emery people know) its a really interesting movie. jude law is in it, haha. anyways i wouldnt say go out to blockbuster and get it, but i just think its interesting. they discriminate people on their makeup and their genes. enough about that.

if you want to watch a good movie, go watch slumdog millionaire.

do you know the feeling of being a leaf? okay not actually a leaf, but you kind of feel like you will be blown away, when the wind is really strong. thats a funny feeling

oh and do you like the fishy in the picture above? it was just sitting in my backyard so i took his picture.

okay and english we have to read the book Lord of the Flies. i dont like it at all, i hate it actually. its such a weird book. rather disturbing.
