The Boy & The Owl

The air shifts, the wind brings in chills as the January air flows through a boys window. Sadden by his current life he thinks about people he's hurt, lives he's ruined, his owned life. The hour strikes 2 am and he sits and stares out the window letting the cold chilling air dry the streams on his face. "What's saddening you boy?" the wind whispers as it gently flows through the tree tops. The boy looks down and says "I've done so much wrong in this life of mine, I've burned so many bridges, I've fallen short of many plans, I've made people sad, I've messed so many things up and I don't know what to do. It's gone too far to make amends. Take me with you wind, take me to better life such as yours." "As you wish boy" The boy makes his way outside to the harsh wintery outdoors, he puts on his coat. "I'm ready wind, show me a better life than the one I've been given, for in this life I am sadden with every move I make." "As you wish boy" The wind suddenly shifts towards the left and the boy heads in that direction eager to leave his past life behind. Shivers rush down the boys spine, goosebumps fill his arms, and make his eyes water. "Why are you blowing so hard wind? Are you eager to show me this life as well? I do wish we'd be there soon for it is getting hard to see but I suppose that doesn't matter since I just need to feel your cool air." The boy keeps heading on, not complaining about how his legs are getting tired. He bumps into something hard and scratchy. "Ouch, I'm sorry I didn't see you there" "This boy, is Tree, for he produces new life when the time is right. He appears bare now, but come spring a new lives all around him shall rise. He shall be full of leaves, ready to provide shade to the young squirrels and hares. He shall help you with your new life as you wished." "Thank you dearest wind. I do have much gratitude towards you." The boy looks up to Tree "Are you cold Tree? Here take my jacket, it's the least I could do for your help." "Oh thank you boy, that is rather kind of you but you need to keep warm too, so you keep it. Why have you left your old life?" The boy looks down "You see Tree, I've ruined very many things in this life, relationships with people close to me and it's gone too far for making amends." "I'm deeply sorry to hear this boy. Amends may always be made, though it may take time amends can be made." "It's been so long though Tree. I just don't know" the boy frowns. "But as you wished I'm here to help you find a new life. For I give new life each spring, life grows from my branches provides shade for animals and shelter for the birds when Thunder comes around." "Thank you Tree" "You're very welcome boy. Climb up and sit on my branches there is one who'd like you to meet up there." The boy smiles and nods and climbs the bare tree. "Climb to my highest branch boy" the boy does so and see's a owl sitting on a branch. The boy carefully walks across the large branch and sits next to the owl. "Hello" the boy says shyly. "Why hello there! Who might you be?" the owl says with a smile. "I'm looking for a new life, I've messed up so much in my old one." "Oh, I am truly sorry to hear this boy but you can always make life better if you look to the bright side of things though it may be hard and may take time things will get better. And it's always better to make amends because who knows how long you have with that person." the boy frowns "Do you really think so? Oh I'm sorry I haven't gotten to know your name yet." "I know so. Oh I am very sorry! I am Oliver the owl, I am the youngest member of my family of five. You shall meet my family soon, they are out looking for food, I've hurt my wing so I am unable to fly with them." "I'm sorry Oliver, is there anything I can do to help?" "Just talk to me" Oliver smiles as does the boy. The two instantly become friends, they talk for hours, they both ask questions about each other, they laugh together and smile together. "You're rather fun Oliver and you're very kind." "Thank you, as are you boy." The boy shivers as the temperatures suddenly drop a degree or two. "Are you cold boy?" "Just a tad" the boy chuckles. "Here, maybe I can help." Oliver slides over closer to him and goes under his arm. "Is this a little better? My feathers should help keep you warm" "Yes thank you very much owl." the two then continue to talk for quite a while, the moon hangs high above the sky and suddenly four silhouettes appear in the moonlight, growing larger by the second. "Oh goodie, my family is here!" "Hello Oliver!" says the largest owl, "Hello mother! Meet my new friend" the boy smiles "What a pleasure it is to meet you. I am Valerie Oliver's mother." "It's very wonderful to meet you Valerie." they shake feather and hand "These are my other three youngsters Amy, Francis, and Kate" "It's nice to meet you all." the boy smiles "You too!" they exclaim simultaneously. "So what brings you to these part boy?" "I'm looking for a new life, for the one I've had I've ruined many things." "Oh my, well I'm sure things aren't ruined forever. There's always time to fix things." "Yes, that's what Oliver had told me." "Yes, there's always time to make amends with people you've hurt." "Thank you Valeri" says the boy. They all talked, laughed, and smiled and snuggle together to keep warm in the January air. Oliver and boy grow closer by the second, the boy is very happy with the owls but he knows he cannot be truly happy with his new life until amends are made. The boy is scared to try it, he stays with Oliver and the rest of the owls pondering whether or not he should do it for three days. On that final him and Oliver are talking in the tree. "What are your thoughts Oliver? Should I do it?" "It'll make you truly happy and whole boy, I think so. But if you return back to your old life I will miss you terribly." "And I will miss you just as much Oliver, but I will visit you every night no matter what, you were correct I should make these amends. Thank you for everything Oliver." "You'll visit me every night boy?" Oliver smiles "Yes absolutely." the boy smiles back. "I love you boy." "And I love you Oliver." the two hug and the boy asks the wind to show him the way home. The boy makes his amends and stays true to his word, he would visit Oliver his best friend until the end, the two grow old together, laugh together, and smile together.

3:AM

So I've been working my hands off writing for this series I've been working on called 3:AM. it's a 20 episode series about a depressed boy who discovers the secret society of the dead and to his surprise he finds out that he's supposed to be apart of this society. So the boy has to embark on different trials in order to prove he's the one. That's a brief little synopsis of it, so I'm nearing the end of my writing and I'm happy about that... Kinda. Not really. I'm working on my second series, a mini series if you will. This is a six episode series about a girl it's still an idea though I've only written one episode for it so I'm not sure if it'll see the light of day. I'm so excited for 3:AM! This is such a huge project and a lot of work but it'll all be worth it! So here's to 3:AM. Woot!

TBT

Sooooooo back in 2010. I used to do a bit of writing here's something I wrote back then:

My grey world is spiraling out of control. Black walls consuming the entire planet while it spins over and over again. Meteors lighting up the worlds oceans and rivers more than any sun could and every meteor that would scatter across the sky 10 years would go by. 10 years passing for every person at every second. I look to you, take your hand and look into the nothingness in your eyes. "Why must we age" the moon cries out. When the moon uttered those words a meteor came crashing down to Earth. Time stopped. Everything was black, until a flash of bright beams of light came crashing from far north. I was conscious for some odd reason and so were you, nobody else was. We could move, nobody else could. We could talk, nobody else could. We could walk, nobody else could. We could sing, nobody else could. We could feel, nobody else could. We go on a slow walk wondering what had happened. "The meteorite that hit the earth must've stopped time the stars are cutting deep into the core of the world." "Jesus Christ, Holy Son of the Father. My Savior. Please what is this world you have me in, there are problems after problems with this world, yet it's still so beautiful. My Savior. I know this new world won't be easy, I'm gonna struggle, I'm gonna fall short of your plan for me but please know whatever happens in this world know I will follow you until the end and the days I do failure I ask for your forgiveness ahead of time. I ask that you bless my heart with your love and everybody in this new world. Amen"


So there you have it! An old post back from 2010, it didn't make much sense but I really enjoy the ending because there are days, many days where I fall short of my duties as an instrument of God and I hate the guilt of knowing I have, it's just nice to know that He will still love you after every sin committed even if you feel you don't deserve it just know you will be forgiven. So stay strong and focused guys after all this life is an unexpected journey and you're gonna need all the help you can get and He will supply you with all the help you need and all you have to do is ask Him, He's a loving Father.

The Anatomy Of Pokémon

Are these shirts I really want right now but I'm not quite sure which to pick. When I was little and would play the Pokémon games I was never sure which Pokémon to choose. I would usually go with Bulbasaur because he'd help you with the first two gyms battles but it was still always hard to choose. Charmander is really really cute though and Squritle is totally awesome and I've always sort of liked him a lot. So I'm not sure which one to get. I'm thinking Bulbasaur. Nerd Talk.

We have too many of these, it's safe to say there are more then twenty.

Vultures 2

Hi,
So if you guys read my second post, I talked about a person being stuck in a dessert. I'm gonna finish the story here it is. Enjoy.

After getting in a fight with his significant other, he drives off and drives with absolutely nothing only the clothes on his back and his wallet. Driving nowhere just to get away from it all. During the night his car started acting funny, it started making noises that he'd never heard before but he didn't think anything of it. He had driven for two days straight, only stopping for gas. During his third day he was in the middle of nowhere and it unbearable hot, and his car started acting really funny now and eventually gave out on him. Not knowing what to do he sat there just thinking about everything that happened with him and his significant other. He was filled with different emotions. He was trying to decide if it was the lying or his pride which brought it down while somewhere else there was a lion on his side, asking himself was it the lying or the pride which brought him down he was once the king of beasts but now there only feast on the thoughts beneath his vacant crown; To feel alone and be dethroned. He felt just like the lion the feeling of desertion couldn't be worse than never having anyone he kept thinking to himself he was supposedly a man but he felt like a cub. And said "I never told you back then that I'd be easy to love." He wondered into the plains further and farther away not caring about the heat or anything just walking still trying to get away from it all. He walked and walked ad walked. He was in the desert now, he's thirsty and hot and regretting everything from his past, he'd go under the dunes to try to block out the sun during the day and walk at night he just kept going until he couldn't do it anymore. That's what happened he couldn't do it at all anymore he took refuge under a dune six days from when he last was walking. He had been trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome his situation but he just couldn't do it. As his organs gave way he couldn't swore he felt something burst, it's been thirteen days and he's dying of thirst and for the birds who prey he's praying somebody get's there first, he's praying he can make it out of this.


To Be Continued.

Airports

Hi,

So I'm sitting here at the airport. Waiting. The flight doesn't take off for about an hour and half so I have some time to kill, so I thought hey why not write a blog?? And that's what I'm doing. I'm tired and I just ate a protein bar. Even though I'm tired and have absolutely nothing to do, I guess I have a love for airports. I mean, they're pretty nice and you've gotta love those pre-wrapped sandwiches, Coca Cola refrigerator type things, and those big sweaters with the name of the city and state you're in and the anticipation for arriving at your destination. Anyway, I'm gonna go back to waiting. I'll talk to you guys soon. Love ya.

Solar Flare

Blisters on my feet, I crawled back home. Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stone, nourished back to life by life alone.

Chalk on the Tounge, Vultrues, and a lot of Hungry People

Hey all.

         It's hot today. Really hot, it feels like I'm in a desert trying to block out the sun using the dunes but the dunes aren't really helping. Praying that the preying birds don't circle overhead. Hah. That would seem like a terrible predicament to be in. I sincerely hope nobody is gong through that. I don't know, the human is mind is really weird and complex. I find myself asking myself why wonder the things I wonder.

  
      Anyway I wonder what would happen if every person on Earth just randomly started craving a Hostess cupcake, what would they do to get that cupcake. Haha I'm weird.
