Piano: A Haiku Of My Own
So we had to write haikus the other week for World History Class and apparently they were supposed to be about nature........BUT ya boi here wrote about things NOT related to nature! Shocker. I seriously didn't hear that but my haikus were beast and I still got a 95 overall. :) Here's one of them:

One Step Closer to God
So this past week has been pretty stressful and dramatic, I was sorta in a fight with a friend over how negative they were. At the same time, I talked to an old friend who in like 5 minutes, shut me down. I was telling that old friend about a memory back in December about some fight. I told them how I understood how they felt. That feeling of where you're just whatever and you don't wanna deal with anything. I've been feeling like that a lot lately. Life has been pretty good up to now and I don't want anything to get in my way. I wanna keep being happy and just not deal with any problems.
Things are good now with that friend I was fighting with, however the other one. Uhhh...not so well. But hey, I tried fixing things. It's the thought that counts? Right? :) It's werid though not having that one close friend around anymore. I think back to some of my memories and I sure do miss it, without a doubt. But I can't dwell in the past forever. I'm here now and I gotta make the best of life.
Anyways, this past Saturday, March 5th. I was Confirmed. :) I finally received the Sacrament of Confirmation. I saw this as an opportunity to further increase and better my relationship with God. It's crazy how fast all the classes and what not just passed by. Confirmation was utterly amazing due to the fact that I read the 1st reading amazingly and that Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory was able to take part in our mass. He is freakin' hilarious and is a great person to look up to. Now that I have been confirmed, I feel that all my worries, sadness, and anger of the past week has just flown out the window and that a new life has been given to me. A new chapter in this book of life.
So for Lent, I've decided to give up on cussing. Oh yes I did. This is gonna be probably the longest 40 days of my life!!! I seriously cuss a lot and usually just the sight of certain people makes me wanna cuss so badly. For every cuss word I say, that's 10 cents to the Swear Jar. Gonna be one poor old chap, huh? Hahaha. I've also decided like every other year that I wanna become an even better person. From helping people to bettering myself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. :)
I do however don't like when people misinterpret Lent. Giving up chocolate, soda, or whatever ridiculous thing isn't the importance of Lent. You're giving up something that affects your relationship with God. I'm pretty sure that chocolate or soda doesn't get in the way. I wish people would find the true meaning and I hope that these 40 days will not only change my life, but those who wish to take part in this liturgical season. :)
