Feeling:
Song of the Day: "The Remedy" ~ Jason Mraz
I feel the wind rush past my face
My senses tingle with excitement
I am high upon my world
Everything else has faded away
All I feel is joy.
Free as the wind
I feel as if I have sprouted wings
Yet I cannot fly.
I am still bound to this world
My body is secured to the Earth.
This feeling so high
Exhilarates my soul
I wish not to come down again.
Everything changes; I have fallen again
The low sinking feeling pulls me from below.
It is hard to breathe
My mind feels caged
It is hard to move.
The feeling lasts for only a while
And then I am lifted up again.
I feel free and high
But I cannot release myself from this ride until it ends.
This rollercoaster called life.

Kuniko has been writing some very good poetry lately in her entries. Her writing really intrigues me. So I decided to do my own poetry. I should find more poets out there to boost my future site Blind Rhetoric, but I don't have enough of my own poetry to have much of an archive.
Anyway, onto my topic.
Life has been good to me lately. For the past week or so I've been the high point of my rollercoaster. I've been trying to make better for myself. Or rather, I've just been handling myself pretty well. I'm trying as hard as I can to fuel my enthusiasm of accomplishing things.
I've had a couple low points but I'm hoping to climb back up again. I've still got the things that hold me back from getting to my goals. Those flaws of mine still need to be improved but I know keeping a bit of them makes me human. Off the top, I've been feeling good, and that's that.
My dad rented the VHS of "Spirited Away" for me on Wednesday. I was ecstatic! I had been dying to see that movie for a long time since it came back to hit theaters after winning an Academy award. I remember it was showing in a theater in the town where I go to school months ago but no one knew much about the movie then.
But I watched it. It is such a wonderful movie! I mean, who WOULDN'T love that movie after watching it?? And what's better is, I watched it with my parents and they both enjoyed it. I was surprised. It felt good to watch a movie with them. My parents don't like to watch animated films but I knew "Spirited Away" would change their minds.
And Haku! Who WOULDN'T like Haku?? He's one of the best characters. And I absolutely adore Chihiro.
Ok I'll end my raving now. Watching SA was one of the best parts of the past week. I'm feeling a little bouncy.
Back to the rollercoaster thing. We all get excited when riding a rollercoaster, the first time may be scary, and it's great to go up on those high curves and come rushing down and going up again. Doesn't life feel like that sometimes? Some other people's rollercoasters may have more high or low points than others. Balance is key. I know I'm starting to compare my life to that. In any case, I am who I am.
Well I'm being vague.
Up and down and around...I'm feelin' high up in the sky...
Can't take this crap anymore...
