Well, this is my first real blogging experience.  I like to write, it really helps because I have a lot of thoughts in my little old noggin and sometimes it’s hard to keep it all in.  I am a very confused about politics, I have my beliefs but I honestly have no idea what category I fall under.  Basically, I just wish everyone would get along, I don’t understand why everyone has to fight and why everyday innocent people have to die for our lousy country.  This world could and has the potential to be a beautiful and peaceful place, I know my hopes are high, but maybe throughout my life I can do little things to change the world or at least touch a few people’s lives in a way that it makes them lead a happier, carefree lifestyle.  I want to be the type of person someone could look up to, I try to work as hard as I can, but even if I accomplish a million little things throughout the day, the that I remember most is how many people I made smile.  Smiles are contagious, there is not a feeling better in the world knowing that you made at least a few moments in another persons life better.  It is like a drug to me, I know it is something that will never harm me or anyone around me in that matter, but it will always make me feel good.  Which brings me to my next point, I am absolutely against drugs and smoking.  I was raised in a family fully of people who drink and smoke, also a majority use or used to use drugs.  It honestly makes me sick, but I am kind of grateful I was raised this way, because otherwise I would have never been exposed to what it can do to a person and how it can basically destroy your life.  Life is way too short to waste away, especially when you can’t even remember it the next day.  I know everyone wants to know what it is like, the only thing I have ever tried and ever will was drinking, but that will never happen again.  Although it was fun while it lasted, it wasn’t worth all the brain cells I killed.  I don’t look down on people who do those things, because it is their choice, I just hope they are responsible and think about others while they are making that choice.  I believe in pro-choice, and I believe that it shouldn’t matter what race you are or what religion you are, we are all people, we are all the same inside.  Just because people may have a different skin color, it doesn’t make them a completely different species.  Everyone has feelings and obviously if everyone would just learn how to get along I don’t see any problem.  Of course people are going to have different beliefs and views on how they want to lead their lives, but that just means that people should be more open minded, or at least respect what others are saying.  Although I think some things are a little crazy, I can’t change the way people are raised.  I was raised Catholic, honestly it all confuses me, so I like to focus on the simple things in life, rather than worrying about why it’s all there.  Whatever or whoever made the world the way they or it did, probably thought that everyone would get along, and they are probably extremely disappointed, but this is a very big world, obviously not everything is going to work out the way you want it to.  I wish there were no buildings or cars or most of the obnoxious things that keep everyone from seeing the world the way it was meant to be seen.  It makes me sad that I can’t walk outside and see a field of flowers or rows of trees filled with happy little animals, instead I get to see a brick house across the street with a not so happy family inside. 

The world is too wonderful to waste on thinking about hateful things.  If everyone would just stop to smell the roses once in a while, we could see that we are all surrounded by mircacles, love and beauty in everyday simple things.
