Scissor me Timbers

I know the title has nothing to do with the post, it was just something I watched the other day on Southpark that had that line in it and me and my friend Mike were joking about it.

Anwyas, I was going to upload some of the pictures that I took today, but blogspot seems to be having some errors so i'll have to post them tomorrow (saying that everything is working correctly). As far as everything else is going, 2d animation is a blast, physics still sucks and school is still the same....busy and stressful at times! I'm sad that this month is already ending because 2d is a lot of fun and i've learned a lot from that class. I feel that i'm definately in the right field and i'm in the right spot in my life right now as far as following my dreams and passions. If things get me down, I have a little saying that helps me out "Keep Moving Forward!" I know it's from Meet the Robinsons, but it's such a great saying and is always truly inspiring me to keep my head up and continue through the obstacles that are in my life. Plus, it's part of a quote by Walt Disney who is someone I have always looked up to and admired. Here's the quote "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." I'm sure he wouldn't have made such an impact on our world if he didn't challenge himself and push himself to do greater things in his life and for others.

One thing I would suggest to anyone who ever feels down or gets unmotivated is to find things that inspire you, whether it be sayings, or pictures, etc and put them in a place where you will always be reminded of why you get up in the morning, or do the things you do (what gives your life meaning and a feeling of satisfaction). My personal preference is on my bathroom mirror. I found a bunch of quotes from people I truly admired that I felt were most fitting to me and I placed them on my mirror so that everyday I know why I don't give up and I continue to do what I do. I seriously suggest it, it has been a great help and a constant reminder that people only achieve greatness through trying over and over again. As Albert Einstein says "A person who never made a mistake has never tried anything new." I'm sure Einstein didn't get to where he was because he gave up, so I don't give up either.

Another great idea is to start a blog and post whatever you want, that's certainly been helping me out the past couple of days when I feel upset or need to get some things off of my chest. I'm surprised I haven't kept up with it, it's also fun and only takes about an hour to do (depending on what you want to say).

Since no one is here for me (even though they say they are) I have to look to myself to keep myself going. It's been tough, but certainly a learning experience and an eye opening experience. Another quote from Walt Disney is "All the adversity i've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me....You may no realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." This is such a great quote and it reminds me that everyone is human and no one goes through life without some sort of struggle or obstacles. My obstacles may be minimal compared to others' obstacles, but its nice to take time and realize that others share the same struggles that you do from day to day so maybe it's not worth getting all upset about those little things in life.

I don't plan on anyone reading this, but if you did, thanks for taking the time out of your life to listen to me = ) it means a lot!

WOW what a serious post, lol. I better counter-balance it with the episode that relates to the title of this post -

hope you find this entertaining. If you get easily offended, don't watch it. If you watch it and get offended, don't say I didn't warn you! If you watch it and laughed, then i'm glad that you have a sense of humor!
