Seeing as how the year is coming to an end, I think my tumlr deserves one last post.
Today I went for a brief introductory tour of my local Church of Latter-day Saints, and, as much as many people wouldn’t like to hear this, I like it. Raised Catholic, my approach to God was one of tradition and routine, where I had to choose from some ancient prayers as a medium for my feelings towards...

I’m in one of those self-promoting moods. Follow my personal blog! I do lots of the Gaga and Mother things, and those Chairdad/tyrone things and the gurl n boi stories. Yay!

It Dawned On Me
that my almost habitual, seemingly instinctual scoffing at prayer is wrong. Before my Christmas dinner, my family sat around our living room nativity scene to lay baby Jesus in his bed. I was like, “Okay, so they just set it down and we can dig in.” What followed was idolatry: the eldest aunt led the rest of the family in a series of prayers called the “Rosario” along...
My Watery Two Cents
Lightning is a sight to behold, especially in California where its as rare as a whale in Kansas. I mean, it’s pure energy coarses through the air, burning the ozone in the air and creating a spectacle for those down below. Like an inverse tree almost, where the trunk grows from the cloudy soil and it’s dancing leaves dissipate downwards into the air around. (The funny thing is that...
I’m usually not one to bash on the rain, but I’ll make an exception.
You’re spoiling my fun, Rain. Making me into a recluse, World of Warcraft and Tumblr all day and all, while you merrily guffaw and contingue shitting- I mean, pissing on my day. Well, Rain, you win. But keep in mind that while I watch Netflix movie after Netflix movie and my soul weeps, I’ll still be...
Scentless Pine Tree In the Corner
When I was a kid, the phrase “Christmas Tree” brought along images of a prickly tree who’s sole purpose of life was to lure you in with it’s ornaments then maul your fingers. And that smell, it was horrid. I wanted to smell cookies and sweeties, not something I can find underneath the kitchen sink. Yet the more and more these trees came back year after year, the more...
So I wake up in the morning, put shit on my hair. Through the day that shit hairspray and other potpourri goes all over your face like a squid; and come night time, when those “Look. You’re tired and your eyes are becoming try after staring at the computer for so long so let me help you” tears start coming out, the shit goes in your eyes. I feel like this
The Infinite Scarf
To be both full of Christmas cheer and light on the wallet, I’ve asked my mum to make me a dark gray scarf for my secret Santa while she has her knitting fever. So I pass by her room, and she says, “Look! I’m almost done.” ”A scarf has to be the height of a person to fit right, how long is it?” ”MIRA PUES! I still have a head left!” A day ago, she...
Break From it All
During my sophomore English teacher, Mr. Burgess, went on a mini-tirade on California’s picturesque glory. “You live 15 minutes away from the mountains, 30 from the ocean, and get to reap the benefits of living in a city too,” he said. Yet, I only go hiking four times a year, maybe double that if I’m really into it. As for the beach, it’s even less. And I call...
Putting Yourself into a 3 minute speech
So you’ve heard of personal statements, the whining that goes on when you learn that you have to cram an entire life of living into 1000 words. Today, I did the same thing, but instead of zooming in on my life, I zoomed out to my world and the way I perceive it. And I still have that 1000 or so world limit. So…FUCK!
I sat on my desk for about four hours, fiddling with my pencils...
