Books & Movies

Ok, I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy. It's the best books I have every read. I can't say more than that. They are amazing. I would definitely suggest this to everyone. Not only is the writing good but the plot is so original. usually the first book is better than the rest. This is different. Suzanne Collins wrote a better 2nd book and then a 3rd that improved on all of them. My favorite had to be the first, The Hunger Games. Catching Fire and Mockingjay were amazing too. They are so suspenseful, you cant even put down the book. It's great.

Now, movies. Well you have to watch The Hunger Games. Definitely. Also a movie called "A Warriors Heart". Most people don't like the sports dramas but there my favorite. "A Warriors Heart" is about a teenager, named Collin, who moves from California to the East Coast. Collin love lacrosse. His dad is in the Marines. After his dad goes back to the war, he dies. Collin is very upset about this and gets some of his anger out on the field. He gets too violent and goes to jail. A fellow Marine, his dad knew, bails him out and brings him to a work camp to teach him a lesson. There Collin learns the true definition of a warrior and what lacrosse is really about.
It has it's romance like most stories, and the action. It's sad and powerful. Importantly, it has an amazing life lesson.

Soccer

So about 5 months ago I hurt my back in soccer. I strained most of the muscles and my spine wasn't alined. After about 3 months of pain I finally told my parents to bring me to the doctor. Then the chiropractor, then to get x-rays, then the orthopedist, finally the told me I have to rest from soccer.  They said I could play field and not goalie, but my coach wouldn't let me. I wasn't coming back the next season,(in September) because I was going to play for my school team. I wasn't coming back and I wasn't playing for the rest of the season so I quit. Soccer was my life. I was in some pain when I played but the game kept that off of my mind. I have nothing to do anymore and I'm constantly in pain. I think that playing would be better for me then sitting around. Quitting was defiantly a mistake. But the good news is I get to play in September on my school team. Until then if you have any suggestions please comment. And I promise to post more because the school year is almost over and no homework this week.

The Huger Games

So, Suzanne Collins wrote "The Hunger Games Trilogy" and the first was made into a movie. Now they have Katniss, Peeta and Gale dolls and pins and everything including this and cakes.

I found this on  http://www.fictionalfood.net

Check it out it's got some really cool stuff.

GLEE

I have found my new favorite TV show. GLEE!!! It might sound stupid but I really like it. Not really because of the plot line but because of the music. They have the combination of the new pop music and then there's the oldies or the stuff most people don't know. It's great. I grew up listening to the 80's and the 50's music. I know so much more than other people my age. Then I also grew up on KISS and Aerosmith. Now I love Country. I've heard a wide spread of music and play the piano. I appreciate it so much. GLEE give me more of it.

I'll sit for hours staring at the ceiling listening to music. It comforts me. I can't tell you how much I love. I've been going through a really rough time. I hurt myself in soccer, I had to quit, I'm having some problems with friends and it's been tough. Anytime I feel angry or sad I start to sing something or I play something on the piano and I feel better. Let me know what comforts you. Tell me how music helps you or how it makes you feel.

Easter

Happy Easter!!! This is my failed attempt to make tie-dyed eggs. Me and my little sister did this. Happy Easter!!

By now, I hope you know my favorite thing to do is play or listen to music. My favorite songs change every time I hear a new song. But I thing I've found my favorite. A song called "Fly Over States".
It's by Jason Aldean. It has a very good meaning.
He's explaining how people who live in the city don't think of anything other than city life. He says that if they were on a plane over Oklahoma all they would say is "who would want to live there." He says that the have to see the country, experience what others do to understand. I think it is an amazing song. A great meaning.

If you want to check it out here's the link. It is a version with lyrics.

Dreams

So a couple nights ago I had a dream. I've had this dream before about 2 or 3 times, always the same place and about the plot. So it starts with me walking down a dirt road in the middle of a wheat field. I here a rustle in the field and quickly turn around.  I look and there is nothing there. The sound comes from behind again. What ever it was it was circling me. All of the sudden I hear something swoop down. It picks me up by the shirt and lifts me 50 feet in the air. It keeps getting higher and higher. I glance up and a giant golden eagle is carrying me. (Now when I say giant I mean at least 35 feet long and 8 feet tall.) It finally asks "what where you doing down there. It's dangerous down there." I answered that I was taking a walk in the woods and got lost. I ended up in this wheat field. It doesn't answer. It flies me over a river and slowly flies down and drops me on the ground. It says "If you stay between the rivers you will be fine. Don't cross the rivers."

I walk about a mile and come to the next river. I see my two best friends. They are telling me to come with them. They are going to cross the river. I remember what the golden eagle said and because he scared me I didn't listen. I crossed the river with my friends. When we got to the other side this lion/wolf pops out at us and we hear a rustle. There where more. We where surrounded. The 3 golden eagles swoop down and save me and my friends. By this point I trust the eagle. He takes us home and on the way explains what the lion/wolf is. He wanted something from us. It was a rock my friend had in her pocket.

They bring my friends home and then me. I walk in to my house and walk to my room. I lie down and go to bed. When I get up in the morning I walk outside. It’s a beautiful spring day. I get the mail and on my way back up the driveway I turn around and see the golden eagle sitting on the top of a tree.

It looks directly at me and nods. It was like he was giving me permission to go back inside and live my life.

That was a really cool dream. And I keep having it. I wonder what it means.
