- Lifes struggles and obstacles are what makes us stronger
- Nobody in life dies a virgin. Life screws us all.
- and live in the moment and love life and those you are with because in the brink of an eye it can disappear. Then you are only rich in memories.

Am I invisible? Can you see me? Those are some words of one of my friends. She's not the happiest, but she still mkes it through life. She likes to go by the name Zee. Zee isn't sick but she seems depressed. Maybe people would call her a "loner" but shes my best friend. I love her like my sister, so why is Zee so depressed? The world may not know. Zee says she wants to start over. "You know... fresh." Everyone has a second chance right? Well I believe she can do anything.

These "thoughts" are completely mine... I wrote them down yesterday after another sleepless night.
Is it that hard to see? .. the freak in me. I'm buried under the bodies of everyone who hit rock bottom, and the devil claims he lives so deep. Well he hasn't seen hell till he hits this barrier I've built around my pointless existence. I swear if I could slip out we would all shatter and the only thing I'm scared of is myself... the thoughts I have when I'm sitting aloe inside my head. My only friend is my shadow and now its too dark to see. This curse of mine was never meant to be broken, and hope was just a word created to tease the helpless oo I suppress, so tell me now... how does it feel to walk away?
My mouth swells with te taste of blood and I'm drowning in the words that need to be said.
I can't pretend with you that it will all be Ok.
Because I've been down this beaten path more than time could tell.
If our future but I'm in denial. I long for change and I'll try to tell you.
but you can't know. Not like me. Because promises ain't so true to everyone else.
now stuck in this endless cycle I'll watch it break and look forward to the next glimpse of hope.
Although I know it never amount to you (nothing could)

Sooo, I think society's interpretation of normal is just plain boring. But, society isn't a person. It's like... everyone. But so many people disagree with society. It doesn't make sense why we still have so many socieological standards. It makes even less sense why people obey them. Just sayin'.
Anyway, I just think it'd be really great if people felt more comfortable with being themselves. Even if they are a bit on the crazy side. It would make life more fun and people more interesting...
And, I figured this book needed some bright colors, so... (an arrow point to the opposite page, with a drawing of a cat.)

This is all a dream. Nothing is real. The physical world is simply a result of the strongest frequencies. In the modern world, our words and thoughts have the most power, or frequency. With all the advancements is science in the past 500 hundred years, we think we're all truly starting to understand how the world works. But if existence is infinite, the truth is - we don't know the half of it. So... never stop learning. Question everything... especially our way of life. Keep changing for the better and never hold on to your beliefs. Don't define yourself with them. At the center of the atoms that make up you body, is a place that burns as hot as the sun. The universe is 99.99% space, so matter doesn't matter. It's the consciousness that holds it all together.

to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others,
to leave the world a better place whether by a healthy child,

And by the way... that person over there... Amberly... She's my best friend ever! Couldn’t ask for a better one. I’m lucky to have her. We designed that together years ago (a arrow pointing to a small drawing) when we were doing henna tattoos... Now it is painted with bright paints on my bedroom wall, which he also helped me with.. and now, she and I are heading down to Rosa parks circle to let the good times roll... Life is good!

Never judge a human for what they can or can’t do, or what stage in life they are from little cells to an old ma. The second you try to define humanity by what the person does, you open the door to somebody judging your humanity. Then, like many others, you cald be ruled non-human. Just ask the Native Americans, Americans, Rwandans, Jews, or Iraqi Christians (Maronite Catholics)... or Black people... or aborted babies... or women... Also, when you know, you know.

Everything in this world is made of 1 - dimensional slices of 2 - dimensional objects that exist in 11 dimensions. This is called string theory. With string theory, one could suggest that there are an infinited number of dimensions. However,to even begin to understand this, one must understand a few things;
- A dimension is not a place, but rather a "point of view" of sorts.
- We exist in at least 3 dimensions, and our senses can only detect 3 dimensions
- Although we can only sense 3 dimensions, we are affected by and ca observe the effects of other dimensions. For example, relativity theory suggests that time is the fourth dimension of space and an attribrute of matter.

Not in theory, but in true intimacy. Just read the Gospel of John and you will see that Jesus is one amazing guy. Try praying, ask questions, and grapple with the meaning of life.

A person's life is not dissimelar to an enormous pumpkin pie. As yo ugo through life you are perpetually adding ingredients to this enormous pie... Friends, relationships, music, influences and what not... in trun this pie sustains you and by eating it you are able to continue living in the world. As often happens in baking, you may add ingredients which destroy the integrity of the pie and may cause you great sadness... Some relationships, things, and influences may actually be pure shit which becomes inter mied with your pie filling and if you don't pay attention, you will end up with a shit - filled pie, and a shit - filled life.
All this to say...
Take a step back and think about the shit you are allowing in your life because at the end of the day... you still have to eat it all.

Never assume someone is happy from afar. For example, you may see a couple standing down the street and assume that they’re in love, but look closer and you’ll see that they’re actually yelling at each other.

Do what you love and do it with passion and a desire for excellence. If you do, You’ll get rich. People will either realize the value and beauty of what you’ve accomplished and pay for it or, at the least, you’ll have the reward of the experience and the knowledge you created something excellent.

People, in general like to complain about their lot in life. Few ever stop complaining. They end up stuck in their personal hell hole but don’t attempt to fix it.
What I’m trying to say is this: Stop bitching and get off up the couch and do what you want in life, be it traveling or opening up a business. And good Luck!

Sometimes in life we can feel as if we live all by ourselves and have no significant meaning. I thing that if you spend some time to reflect upon this you come to realize that this is not the case and that God has a plan for all of us. In one manner or another we are part of a vast, interconnected web of thoughts and ideas. We all have needs and wants that in most cases are not attainable without the assistance and proper guidance of our fellow brothers and sisters. occasionally like all from the same kin, we fight amongst ourselves in a competitve and selfish manner. In part I think we do this because of our won selfish wants and goals, but generally I think this derives from the fact that we want to expose flaws in our fellowship so that we can correct them to become a stronger union and community as a whole.

Hard work is mandatory for success. So is optimism, the ability to find opportunity. Intelligence is optional.
It is important to have at least one person in your life whom you are insanely proud of.

In the mountains, I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn."

Hello, My name is Andre, J, Phillips and I am an aspiring inventor/ reinventor. And when I was in the Grand Rapids Main Library I was letting my fingers do the walking through the Astronomy section and a book jumped out at me. It is title “The Big Splat; or how the moon came to be” by Dana Mackenzie. When I was skimming through the book I got to a chart on pages 170-171.
At that moment my life completely changed forever. I know how to solve it. When I read that chart it totally blew my mind. After reading it I had to sign up for the introductory Astronomy telecoms at the Community College. Who knew that science still had mysteries that haven’t been solved already?
I live in Jenison email me at: thedukeofyawn@warpmail.net or take a survey at www.votinggalxy.com. It is extra ordinary science.
I also recommend the movie title “The Dish” and the books titled “Many Skies” by Arthur upgren and “In the Blink of an Eye” by Ididnns Who.
You can find the first two at the Grand apids Main library and the third at theGrandville Library.
Enjoy.
