Photography Day Seven... Green

Today is the best day yet out of the photography challenge days because it's supposed to be a picture of something green. And in my opinion I have the BEST green picture, EVER!

This is a picture I came across a while back, so yes, it is stolen once again, but I couldn't help myself. Look at it. Ain't nothin' better than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So what if i'm 24. I love the 80's/90's and I'm damn proud to say it. Everyone should still play with their inner child once in a while. It would make the world a better place.

Time for me to get back to class. (Yes I am blogging in the middle of class.) Have to take my math test now. But please enjoy the awesomness and scrumptiousness of this picture. I know I do.

Turtle Power!

Day Seven... (Rememberance of Certain Event)

Son's Gonna Rise

I don't really have a certain event such as graduation, a funeral, a wedding, a party, or anything substantial like that that a certain song reminds me of. The one event that sticks out most in my life that a song has any representation of would be "Son's Gonna Rise" by Citizen Cope. The first time I heard this song, it was by accident. I didn't know that it was on my mp3 player. To this day I still don't know how the song got on there, but when I heard the song, driving in my car at 1am, all of a sudden everything seemed to make sense. It was the biggest moment of clarity and serenity I had ever had. Plus, it turns out, it's just a great damn song. And it was on my favorite show, One Tree Hill.

"You can't stop it God...

...the wheels in my hand as I stand on the floor of the board of this car on the road."

Day Seven... (Treasured Item)

My most treasured item is my high school diploma. For most people high school is the easiest time in their lives. For me, it was the worst/hardest. People were surprised that I actually graduated. It was never a question of my not being smart enough (I went to private school for 11yrs for craps sake). It was more of a social thing and the fact that I refused to go to school and ended up getting expelled from Leigh halfway through my Junior year. I ended up being sent to Boynton where I enrolled in ISP (Independent Studies Program). That was the best choice I had ever made in my life. There is a long story behind my entire high school career and everything that happened, so to keep this short, my high school diploma is my most treasured item because it's something that can never be taken away from me. I received my diploma on my own without any help from anyone. It was a huge accomplishment for me back then and it'll be something that I can take with me literally and metaphorically for the rest of my life.
