The Summer 2010 Journey is still not over.

A little philosophy for you.

As I sit here at the Community College’s library, I ask myself this simple question: Did I get the most out of Summer 2010?

Aside from sleeping, eating, watching T.V. and surfing the web most of the time, I’d say I took quite a lot out of my summer.

Yes. I do regret not reading or studying more. But hey, it’s summer, so give me a break.

I’ve changed quite a lot these past weeks. Both inside and out. I look more mature, elegant, confident, and graceful. I’ve grown up by quickly stepping towards what will not be end of my childhood or teen years, but towards something rewarding- adulthood.

I’ve spent 4 days every week here on the Community College’s campus. On some days, I spend up to 8 hours in what has now become my summer getaway. The people I’ve met and the many experiences have made this summer break definitely one to remember.

I may not have read or studied as much as I should have, but I have learned lessons that are not taught in books.

I’ve learned the true meaning of diversity. There is such a place where different thoughts and ideas can all coincide together. Where one young student can sit alone at the library computer with several other students around and not make eye contact or utter a word, yet she can still feel apart of something much larger; she is simply connected by all the the energy, motivation, and experiences of others.

Though my future my seem like a fog, I can see the place where I belong and it is as clear as daylight. I have found the enjoyment of every single moment. I only look at the good and give gratitude for what works. I don’t linger what hasn’t worked or what is wrong, but what really makes the moment shine. Every past experience has made this present moment possible. The future is already written and constructed, and I’ll sit back and enjoy the ride.

Being a pro skateboarder has been a lifelong dream. I continue to dream it even though I can’t even do a simple Ollie. I’ll never let this dream die because it remains a part of me. It says something about my personality that nobody else in the world knows a clue about. I keep on trying to achieve this dream every summer. My reason for doing so? You’ve got to find something your body is unable to do, and make your body do it and even better. Practicing skateboarding has helped with other important aspects of my life which include running and perseverance.

Summer break is a journey. These past weeks, I’ve become a pro skateboarder, best friends with all the stars, and most importantly of all... I’ve become a screenwriter.

No longer working on an action movie.

I was actually starting on the action movie, but then I watched the Island.
And my movie's plot was very similar to the one in the Island directed by Michael Bay. But my story had nothing to do with clones, but rather an idea.
And guess what? I actually saw Ewan McGregor as my main man in my movie as well.
And then people would chase after him trying to prevent him from getting the secret out.
Wow. And guess what I also found out? The Island's script was believed to be a copy of some other person's screenplay called The Experiment.

Well, this was quite the eye opener. I've got to make sure my screenplays don't seem like they are copying somebody else's, even though I didn't even know I was subconsciously doing so!

So I'm giving that screenplay a break for awhile and I am starting on a very prized screenplay about a young teenage boy trying to find his place in the world. Typical, typical, but amazing.

Summer 2010, so far.

Halfway through Summ. 2010
Running and studying
Finding my place in the world
Seeking that summer fling.

Only to find a cute boy.
No clue as to his name.
His age or what he likes.
It is somewhat a shame.

He sends a sly look my way.
Shocked, my eyes turn away.
Not sure as to what to do.
Can only muster a hey.

A highlight of the summer.
But there is so much more.
Compliments from older men
Just add to the galore.

Rollerblading and swimming
Just a few more new skills.
Triumphing over all fears
My life has much more thrills.

Simply writing and learning
For the future and school
What will I do with my life
Screen writing, all out rules

Becoming independent
Where on earth will I go?
High school and college, I know.
Where can I grow and glow?

This is summer 2010.
Crushing on the gym boy.
Learning lovely life lessons.
A lot more to enjoy.

If I were to write a missed a connection on Craigslist...

I guess I have a very small chance of being someone's missed connection, but a boy that I see almost everyday is my missed connection. So here's my missed connection on Craigslist (if I were to ever write one, which might never happen)-

Jul 10 - LAC boy - w4m - Somewhere in Utah

You say the most seductive hellos. You are truly amazing. You're extremely hot and confident. Would like to get to know you more. We make eye contact sometimes, but I just have a sudden reflex to look away. I, honestly, do not know why I do it. I suppose it's because you make me nervous and make my heart beat quickly. Perhaps we are meant to be together? Shall we find out? This crush may only last for just another month because when the semester is over, I might not get another chance to see you again. If anything is to happen, it has got to happen soon. Glasses, hat, and basketball in hand. Do I have to say more?

Maybe I should actually post this on Craigslist?
I might just do that.

the Screenwriter

I am currently working on my very first screenplay.
It's an action movie. :D

Here's some food for thought:

We try to make life as simple as possible.
We're afraid of a future of tears and regrets.
We're fearful that our choices today impact our tomorrow.

The ones that take the challenge without looking back are the ones that conquer all.
