Now for my poem?

Why of course!!!

Bare Feet

I live through the veins of the chartreuse leaves on new, spring trees,

through the keys that type my inexperienced words and 

the pens that doodle the blank corners on schoolwork, my canvas.

I live for the rhythms and beats of the music, not the genre,

for the face of a friend that gives with all she’s got, 

to who ever she meets,

and, for the chance to see others exceed, and then congratulate them.

I live with self confidence for my quirks not my alikeness to others, 

for my childish antics that somehow come across as mature,

and, for my need to be my own person, not the clone of another.

I live, not because of the eyes and bodies that surround me, but because 

of their hearts and souls, not because of the luck I’ve had, but because 

of the times I learned from bad luck, and, not because of the rules to keep me safe, but because of 

the so called “limits” that pushed me to do better, every time.

I see life from the framed viewfinder of my simple, yet stunning camera, from the scribbled, sticky-note reminders stuck to the mirror in the middle  the night, and from the point of view one would have if they were to take life one step at a time, bare foot.

BYE! <3

Sierra Mae :)

3 HOURS ALL ALONE

Fun, fun, fun!! I love to babysit. Little kids + Money + Time alone = Sierra happy!

Haha anyways....
It's been a while since I have blogged. Shame on me.

Oh and before I begin...

SHOUT OUT TO ERIN!!! I hope you are feeling better!! Karma just really sucks! If it makes you feel any beter, I stepped in dog poop. :(

Nothing new really. Spring break was a lot of fun! First time in a really long time that I haven't gone out of town. Spent pretty much the whole week with Erin/Addy/Samantha. I went to 2 SXSW shows, THE STROKES (much fun) and AWOLNATION (best time ever! amazing concert!). So yeah, that was my first time to be apart of South By.

Last week went fine. Friday (3/25) was one of the best days I've had in a while for a school day! Too many reasons to count! 1,2,3,4,5........

Today I went to the mall with Aisling! We had not seen each other in like 4 months! So that was fun fun fun! I also went to Forever 21 for the first time! Great Store!!

Speaking of shopping...
I ordered a new dress from ModCloth on Friday! So I pretty much cant wait to get it!

1,000 Points to the person who can guess which one I'm getting (if i haven't showed you already)!
HINT: I couldn't find it on there.

HAHA ^most impossible contest ever!!

anyways I guess there is nothing else to say.

Later... Sierra :P

Eh... Why not?

So you know I've kinda been slacking off with the whole blog thing lately. Not that its such a big deal because only like eight people read this stuff so i don't feel to bad about it, but anyways if you are one of those eight people and I have kept you waiting and waiting for a new post, I am very sorry.

I figured I should probably check in so here goes something...

NEWS: OFFICIALLY GOING TO NEW YORK THIS SUMMER!!!
If you have any suggestions from going there your self or whatever of what to do/eat/see there, let me know!

OTHER NEWS: SPRING BREAK IS IN TWO DAYS!!

BAD NEWS: SPRING BREAK TRIP TO COLORADO IS CANCELED. :(
Upside to that: I will have a whole weak to hang with my friends! :)

DRAMA? I AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR THAT!
Hehe... really though, I am stearing clear of drama of all sorts these days...

EXCEPT FOR:
I am going to do Theater Production next year. Stage manager? Curtains? Lights? Sound???? Who knows? ;P

So I just bought a new pair of Vans (the shoes) and they are really cool. They actually look like this. So my friend John decided that I shouldn't be allowed t wear them because I don't skateboard. As a result of this statement, Ewan (he was also in this conversation) and I decided that I should teach myself how to skateboard. So that's what I am going to do. One problem, I do not own a skateboard. I guess what I am trying to get to is that if anyone has or knows of a skateboard that I can get really cheap and/or free (it's fine if it's a little beat up) that would be very helpful. I think I am going to keep an eye on Craigslist as well.

Note to fellow bloggers: KEEP POSTING! EVERYONE KINDA CAME TO A STANDSTILL THERE FOR A WHILE (I know, including me). BUT I HAVE STARTED IT AGAIN SO GET BACK TO IT! I HOPE THAT I HAVE MOTIVATED YOU!

I might do a Spring break update but until next time...

Later... Sierra ;P

REMEMBER ABOUT THE SKATEBOARD!!! HELP ME OUT PLEASE!!

Magnanimity

WoRd oF tHe DAy: Magnanimity- the virtue of being good in heart and mind.

Hmmm... I like that word and i think that I am going to start doing the word of the day thing. Ok, so it will be a word that I learned that day, or just a word that I rediscovered.

So today was pretty normal actually. Hmm... that doesn't happen often. Went to school (on my bike) learned a small fraction of things, had a good time. Came home (on my bike) checked my social networking sites (gmail, facebook, Blogger, YouTube [well I guess the last two don't really count]). I surprisingly laid down for a while.

Ok so here is a list for my fellow procrastinators, or just anyone with some (or too much) spare time. These are a few websites worth checking out. They have been recommended to me by friends (who also have too much time). Pretty neat, so yeah, check 'em out.

• http://www.stumbleupon.com/
• http://oneword.com/
• http://www.picnik.com/
• http://mylifeisaverage.com/

So yeah. If you know of any cool sites, comment and lemme know! Oh, y'all should also check out Rhett and Link's videos on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/rhettandlink?blend=1&ob=4 Pretty Funny!!

Okie Dokie, I guess I'll try and get some shut eye now. I'm still waiting for my packages to come (see last post!!!! I Love Getting Mail!!!

Later... Sierra :P

Oh by the way, I wanted to mention this weird phenomenon. So every once and a while, I'll be going about my business and then all of the suden I'll find myself composing (in my head), what would be about a paragraph, of descriptive writing. And, it will be like the most ordinary things. Like today as I was riding my bike home, I passed my neighbors dark purple Honda Fit. In my head without even thinking or realizing what I was doing, I came up with something to describe the color of her car. It went something like this:
      
Her car was purple, but so deep a purple that covered with a film of the thick city smog it seemed most definitely black. But, as the sun hit the curves just right, anyone could notice that simple purple hue.

Ok so maybe it's not a paragraph, but still. I mean I guess the easiest explanation is that I am classified as Gifted and Talented in Language Arts. But come on! That doesn't just happen to everyone, does it? And like I said, it's the normalist things. One day I started describing (in my head) how the water was going into my cup from the refrigerator. And I hesitate to say it, but it seems to be more frequent now. I mean I guess it happened before but in the past couple of weeks I have started to do it a lot more. WEIRD! let me know if this has ever happened to you, please.

Now, again.

...the past participle of procrastinare derived from pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow).

Well there is a little etymology for ya. Pro-crast-ina-tion!!!!!!!!!! I am a procrastinator to the MAX!!!! I swear it's gonna kill me someday! Oh well to bad for me, I guess!

So................. today.

First of all it was Valentines day! I got some candy and hugs and from mi familia I am getting some super cool headphones that should be arriving in the mail within the next couple of days here! And my wife Erin is getting me the super awesome T-shirt! It too should be arriving in the mail for me to have and I am super excited!!! but overall it was a pretty good day! I like to celebrate the loving of people!!

Second of all, I had to do two major Language Arts assignments today!! one was writing a letter to one of the characters in the book that I read this six weeks and the other was writing an essay about one of my life experiences. So yah that is what i have spent he last two and a half hours working on!!

Oh well my fault for not doing them earlier!! Like I said... PROCRASTINATOR!

Okie Dokie, well I am super tired of writing!! gonna go to sleep!
Later... Sierra :P

Long time no see, eh?

Well I'm done wondering. I am also done thinking. I figured out that it's all just a whole lot easier to live in the moment. I am tired of trying to figure every little detail in to the big equation. I get enough math at school, no time for so much brain work.

Today my mom was telling me about the article she was reading in her yoga magazine. It was about how you get from one pose to the next. It explained how to do yoga right you have to take the time and the energy to move your body piece by piece to get to the final position. Then she brought up how you can take that concept and fit it to your life too. Take sewing for example, instead of hurring through the steps and only appreciating the final product, you should enjoy the whole process and acknowledge each step as its own accomplishment. If you do that then you will have made a beter use of your time and you will have most likely done the task better too. I like that idea and I think I am going to try and apply it to my life.

Anyways, TOMORROW IS VALENTINES DAY!! Now, I know a lot of people don't like Valentines day. I guess because it's a reminder that they're single or that they had a bad relationship with someone. Which doesn't make much since to me because for one, its just one day, for two, I think Valentines day is a day to celebrate all the people you love whether or not you have that one special person. I know I will be celebrating it tomorrow and I will enjoy the day!

So this has been a pretty rambling post. oh well, good stuff, I guess. More to come maybe a Valentines day recap.

Later... Sierra :P
