How many people have to die before we push for gun control?

I still can't believe they still have to think about this and that it all depends on votes.  How people still think it's ok for just anyone to just cary a gun.  This is not ok.  I just hate, day after day, reading news about mass killings.  Do you want to grow old in a … Continue reading How many people have to die before we push for gun control?

That time I was hungry again

After I woke up from that accident, I lost a lot of weight because I wasn't eating.  I couldn't eat; I was in a coma.  When I woke up, I still couldn't eat because I couldn't really swallow the food. During the coma and a little bit afterwards I had tubes feeding me.  I still … Continue reading That time I was hungry again

Never say “I can’t “

I love being able to see my whole journey in these past years, through this app.  My favorite are the memories from these past three years.  They show me this journey, remind me of the struggles I have been through and I can see how I beat every one of them. These show how soon … Continue reading Never say “I can’t “

Really? Is this the world we live in? Where this is the first thing I read in the morning?

Airstrikes Hospital in Afghanistan Why are you doing this again? Why?Mind your own business! And bombing a hospital? Was that really necessary?

First day of grad school

Today was my first day as a graduate student.  I spent the hole day, at home, sitting in front of the computer, making sure I get as much work done today as I could.  The work I did today wasn’t difficult, but this was just the intro.  It will get tougher, there’s a lot of … Continue reading First day of grad school

Two negatives make a positive

I just think this is really cool, not what this man lost because of epilepsy, but the incredible talent he discovered after.                                                  

Don’t make excuses, just do it

Today I decided to read other blogs.  I started reading blog posts by other writers, or aspiring writers, like me.  I thought it would help me, but it wasn't as fun as a thought it would be.  What I read was how there are no jobs, how they have quit jobs to pursue writing but … Continue reading Don’t make excuses, just do it

Then and now

This photo says two years ago but it was actually taken three years ago in the hospital .  Look at my head, look at my arm, look at my lost face; that doesn't look like me, but it is.

I want that chance

Every time I watch The Voice, which is pretty much every Monday and Tuesday, I can’t help but put myself in the contestant’s shoes. Not the same shoes, I don’t want to be a singer; well I would, if I could sing, but I can’t. I just think what I would do if I get … Continue reading I want that chance

Coming home

I was finally able to come home on September 26, 2012; a few days after my last surgery.
