Look at this guy! Look at those white teeth, that chiseled chin, dem blue eyes! DOESN'T HE JUST INSPIRE YOU TO BE A PERFECT AMERICAN?! Inspirational speakers. I've always had mixed feelings about them. Like, young lil' thang as I am, I've seen a few in my years. Some are legitimately inspiring, use modern music references and really seem to connect with us crazy kids. But others just fall short. Receding hairline, akward jokes, pit-stained shirt type of image...
Anyways....
If I were an inspirational speaker (becuase you never know where the wind will take you. oh nature cliches) I would definitely talk about the title of my blog. Even though the youngin's then would be far too technologically advanced for such things as blogs, I would nonetheless pull a "back in my day..." type schpeal. SCHPEAL. What a funny word. Is that even how you spell it? Right, anyways, the title of my blog: sky scraped. I kind of like the duality it suggests (whoa! english class terms! getting deep here!) Like, everyone always tells us to reach for the stars, to shoot for the sky, but sometimes, in our endeavors, we get shot down, get scraped on our way back down to Earth. But, the good thing is, like we learn as children, scrapes heal (with the help of kisses, patterned bandaids, and neosporin of course) and even the scars they leave are what give us our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. So, sometimes it's good to get sky scraped, becuase legs without scars are simply boring :)
I feel so corny writing this, haha. But life has been so hectic lately, and Ive had so much pressure on myself relating to looking at colleges and school and just trying to be a good kid, that sometimes I have to remind myself that its good to make mistakes, for thats what makes us human!
