School Starts soon.
Sooner or later, I'll be getting ready. I hope to do best because after this I'm on to highschool and then college.
One month to go.
There's actually another thing coming up,
My mom's Birthday, is two days away.

Five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes
A lot of time for a year.
But do we waste these minutes?
do we waste a single one?
I believe that for everybody the answer is NO.
No time is wasted in our life, Not a second.
Everthing that we do leads us to do something else.

Fireworks
July 4th, Jacksonville, FL.
It was for the celebration of independence.
My eyes witnessed a nice fireworks show, and I experienced a great vacation.
It was the finale that did it for me.
Finals are often the most beautiful part of a show, if not its the beggining. It is seldom that the middle of a show or performance would be the most spectacular.
It is not only in shows, in a human life, our childhood or our old-age life would be the most interesting parts of our lives. Again, seldomly that the middle part would be the most spectacular.

New website
Since long time ago, I longed for a site that I will administrate. Finally I have one now.
I just got home from Jacksonville, FL. Me and the family stayed our July 4th - July 6th weekend there in a motel. As soon as we got home, and finished unpacking, I immediately went online to create a site. It is still not finish and I plan on working on it until its done.

Don't Stop Believing
Yep, that's don't stop believing.
If you happen to be a NASCAR fan, yesterday was a historic day for Dale Earnhardt Jr. He won the race in Michigan, ending his 76 races winingless streak.
His fans did not stop believing, and I myself did not stop believing until he won again.
Believing makes things happen. In other words, DREAM, BELIEVE, SURVIVE!

Falling Behind
It has been three days since I last posted an article. My plan was to post at least one each day, but of course plans doesn't always turn out what you wanted it to.
The last few days, I've been thinking of what to write, but always can not decide because I had low level or no realizations. Then I realize a message that was there, Falling Behind. Each day leave its mark, well my last three days it has left none, so that had to be it. The mark of those three days tells me that some days don't leave marks we expect, but it does leave marks everyday.

The virus of the earth
Humans, when you think about it, are similar to viruses.
Humans live, multiply, migrate and continue to multiply, just like viruses.
In fact, we may not be mammals at all. Other known mammals, at some pint in time would reach its equilibrium, and humans don't because we continue to multiply.
Humans contaminate places, consume natural resources, migrate to a different place, contaminate that place, consume its natural resources and multiply again. So you see, we are the virus of earth.
The question is: Would there be a cure?
-IF there will be, that cure would be the end of our race, and from that time, when the cure takes effect, the human race would be just a race of the past.

An Unforgettable Journey
Yesterday, I had a ride up to Tennessee. There was higher elevation than where we are at in Georgia. It was a nice ride, in fact on our way we saw the church where my parents got married. I've never been to that church though. (For more information go to http://dayafterdaywithmark.blogspot.com/)
Our trips like my trip yesterday, are TRIPS to remember, but there is a more important journey we should never forget. Our life itself is a journey. Our Life is our most extravagant trip, and it would always be. This journey could be short or long. It could be exciting at times, and depressing sometimes. This journey is unpredictable, although there are roads to follow, different routes our parents and elders has been through. It may be difficult to choose your route, but you should always remember that you could always start up a neww path for younger generations to follow.

Fridays
Fridays have always been exciting, it will always be the day before the weekends, for some people, they actually consider it as a weekend because it marks the end of the week.
Fridays will always be exciting, and because of that I was motivated to do something regularly on Fridays in this blog. Every Friday, I will post a section of a novel (by Chapter) starting from next week. The Novel will be entitled- The Long Lost Suite
Note: I wrote that novel and is still working on it. I hope you enjoy

To Be Me
To Be
What am I going to be?
What am I going to see?
Am I going to be me?
To be me
It is not hard to be me
or would it be?
Where am I going?
Am I leaving?
For a journey, is my money worth spending?
Who am I to see?
Who am I to hear?
Who am I to speak?
Who am I to be me?
To be me
It is not difficult to be me
and me, to be me
I have to pay the fee
To travel the lands,
Men traveled a thousand times before.
Who am I to go for the journey?
The jouney they call life,
The journey all men traveled.
The journey that death would end,
or would it?

At a Glance
At a glance, we can't really see, we don't even look or analyze what we see. At a glance, important thing would be less important, at a glance though life could be so meaningful. At a glance, a wrong glance we could die.
Be careful when you're glancing and never be carefree. Because you don't want to end up just like a bee. A human's wrong glance to the poor insect, a flies water is already grasped by the hand, and in a second you'll see, the once tiny little creature has died already.

Meaning
I created this long time ago, and decide to put this up here so here it is Meaning
For life is so meaningful
No one would understand
Several have tried
And all had just been tired
For life is not a simple sail
For life is not a car from a sale
Don't believe an old man's tale
For life is unpredictable
He never knew what to say
Even it can't be contained
Life would always find its way
Tell the meaning of life to anybody
fooling them but not me
For I know that nobody knows what it should be.
You could consult a dictionary
But it would be dreary
For it would tell you
That life has no meaning to anybody.
Living will tell you something
But it still wouldn't do anything
For you have been dying
Before you realize you're trying
You can't really find a meaning
so why try
if it would just make you cry
Finding out would not help
If you would not keep it to yourself
If someone ask, you cannot answer
Because in a casket you can't really speak
The meaning is not around
It is nowhere to be found
It is not at anytime
Nor in this rhyme
For the meaning of life
will come to us when it does
Rejoice for it has been yours
You just don't realize
For no word has been coined for it to be described
It is in everybody
But just no one else can see
Different Worlds, Same Planet
Different species have different worlds, but sometimes even the same species have different worlds too.
We all live on a planet called Earth, all things we could see, touch, smell, feel, taste, and hear all happened above the surface. We live on the same planet, but do we live on the same worlds?
The world is not only about the environment it is also about what we feel about that environment.
Do you live in an outcast's world? What about an honored one? Each of us have his/her own world, each of us have his/her perspective about that world. Some of us might live on the same world,but most of us don't because we have our own. It might be just in our minds, but still it exists just like intangible things such as Love, Hope and Faith.

Man Made Talent
Cycling is a hobby, but some people also make it as their source of living.
For me, cycling is a hobby. I don't have that kind of talent to dedicate myself to cycling. Maybe I could, but I have to have endurance for racing, and the only way to build that is ride my bike. I do ride my bike almost everyday now, but I don't have that much time for it when school comes back.
In my opinion, being fast in racing, not only cycling races but all kinds of races, is a talent. People that have this said talent of being fast will discover their talents at some point in time, and by these discovered talents, stars are born.
On the other hand, some stars could rise without these talents, instead they build up a talent, which I call "man made talent", that would make them stars just like the ones with the born-talents.
Have you heard of the saying "practice makes perfect"?
-It may create perfection as we know it, but it does give improvement to the person practicing.
We can make our talents, and that statement can be made true by people practicing to perfection.

Whispers and the wind
When I whisper, the wind carries it through
And while the wind carries my whisper
I think of whisper carrying the wind to you.
And now I whisper again
and then I counted one to ten
I felt the wind coming
and I felt it telling me something
Then, I heard
it was my whisper it brought back
telling me something so soft in my ear
but then again I heard it
not one but many whispers the wind carries
I hear the words
but they were just words
and not even phrases.
Is the wind fooling me?
are the whispers?
who is whispering?
who is crying?
why can't I see?
why does the wind carry it to me?
And while the wind carries my whisper

Dropped off to a new World
When the Summer Vacation began, everything around me suddenly changed. It was not the people in school anymore, it was the people at home who I will interact with. The classrooms became the rooms, the bell became the alarm clock, the school desk became my desk and many more. But what I like most about these sudden changes, which began the moment I entered my house from the last day of school, is that the teacher became me.
It was no longer the principal, the administrators, the counselors-those guys became my parents. The teacher became me. I am in control of my room, my decisions of what to learn for the day, what to do. In school I could do those things too, but it would always be limited there.
For a kid, summer vacation is his/her mark of freedom, for a parent, more expenses, but for a teenager, like me, it could mean life.
When I was in school last school year, I always know what the date is, the day, and the year(of Course), but now that I am in vacation, I often forget what day it is or the date. It feels to me that I was dropped off to a new world of the same planet. I felt that I was lost, I felt that summer vacation is not my life, and that school is. And then I remembered, summer vacation is our rest, our break. That we have to rest for a while because we can't keep on going. Just like an army who retreats from battle, an army retreating isn't an army of surrender, its an army smart to realize that retreating would give them time to plan for their next attack.
