| the fact that you can not distinguish
between
right and wrong
between
truth and deception
damns you to roast like meat on a rotisserie
merciless to the stake driven through you.
that turns, turns, turns.
you are meat. stretched out beaten bloodless and flat and BRAINLESS.
Cooked.
mmm...
how delicious.

| It's been forever children! |
I know we only have probably 0 viewers, but I still feel like I have failed with this blog. Honestly, I've always wanted to have a blog, hoping to share my thoughts and experiences with people. I haven't done that. Mostly because of the fear of being judged. For many humans, it almost seems as if being judged is the worst; but how can we not expect it in return if we do it unto others? Quite frankly, if we did not evaluate someone's opinions and personalities, we couldn't build relationships with them.
That right there is me convincing myself to be open. :)
Overall, I'm sorry.
Today, while I was straightening up my room I realized something. Cleaning is relaxing. I decided to share this thought with Katherine (Katy) by calling her up. She agreed. It was so strange because I remember growing up and HATING the redundant movement of putting things away. This day was the turning point in that opinion. Because for once I realized that I wasn't only doing physical cleaning--I was cleaning out my mind from the thoughts that unfortunately polluted my mind. I thought about the people I love without falling asleep like I usually did late at night. I prayed for random things. Like writers who don't make any money. For the parents who had stayed up all night waiting to hear their teen walk through the door.
These times are difficult, and as they grow harder, so do our hearts. Why can't we smile? Too often do I see people with wrinkled brows from worry. People have staggered back in surprise from my warm hellos as I pass them by. It was unexpected. The expected is to walk by with averted eyes and hands in pockets. I've seen young couples strangle their dogs away from me in the parks. They do not want to mingle. Their dogs, choke themselves as they try to sniff me, try to see what I am about. It is true, my fellow readers, that people do not care. At least the majority. What gets in the way? Pride? Fear of rejection?
Next time you see a homeless person, give them money. So what if they spend it on drugs or alcohol? It's their choice, it is also your choice to give them support. To give them a second chance in choosing the right thing to do. You made the choice to care.
So care. And clean your rooms. It helps.
Love, Marina
P.S. Sorry if this is erratic, it's late.

Marina-
Marina is kinda cool, it depends on if she is talking or not. She likes writing, and is really good at it, especially poetry. She sees people's auras, which is pretty awesome. However, don't piss her off, because then she can put a Bosnian curse on you. She also plays soccer, and is going pro at some point in her life.
Ben-
Ben is the runt of the Hippos. He's often picked on and abused by his "larger" siblings. He is amazing at everything he does, besides being nice, because he is an arrogant son of a hippo. He has an unquenchable thirst for water, which is good, because we live in water. He doesn't know how to put on eyeliner, but it doesn't matter...because he's a guy. We hope.
