There are, quite literally, hundreds of blogging flatforms and packages out there.  Choosing the right one for you can be such a daunting task that most people simply pick what is most well known, without necessarily picking based on quality of the software or the longevity of the platform.

Thankfully, Wordpress is both well known and deserving of it’s status as the most popular PHP-based blogging platform available.  And as a first time user I could say that Wordpress really done a great job!

In line with this, Wordpress will be conducting an event which will be the best venue for wordpress enthusiast to gather together and know what’s hot and what’s the latest about wodrdpress.

The event will be held on 4th of September 2008 from 6:00-10:00 pm at Toto’s Bar in Casa Leticia, J Camus st., Davao City Philippines

That is the key to peace: notice it. What does it look like to you and how does it feel? For me, I notice peace through meditation and writing, even when I am dealing with the most destructive emotions or circumstances. And the truthful, honest fact is that there is always going to be some challenge that you will have to face. Sometimes, it will only be a slight irritation, and other times it will break your back and suck you dry of every ounce of spirit you thought you had.

If you really want to know how to make peace and live that peace, you have to ask yourself the question, “Who am I?” because only when you ask that question can you find, in yourself, the strength to make peace. Every challenge, every struggle, every situation that you are confronted with will throw you off or knock you down. But when you ask the question, “Who am I?” and you answer honestly by acting with love, integrity and respect not only for others, but for yourself, you can live in a state of peace.

In the pool of life, ripples on the surface do not appear without first meeting with the pebble of intention. So what is your intention? What are your ideas about how to cultivate peace and what personal skills have you to make your own ripple? Like it or not, we’re inheriting the world with all of its positives and negatives, and in order for all of us to partake in the miracle known as life, we need more expressions of diplomacy and understanding in our personal, social and political lives. Robert Fulghum, an American writer once said, “Peace is not something you wish for; it’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.”

So now I’m asking, what have you got to give?

So what is that? I mean, does that mean that choices can be a metaphor for life and that a road has nothing to do with either of them? So how do i symbolize all the three in one? Is it even possible?  I say we make a metaphor for life simpler.  Like… The chunk I just picked off  of the bottom of my foot.

But I bet the moron who thought; “Life is like a road” will make some sentimental crap out of a chunk of skin too. So what makes it like a bit of peeling skin from the sole of my foot?  To that question reader, i have no answer.   Feel free to move past the awkwardness and bizarreness of it and answer me if you feel you have a substantial answer.

Death Note is based on the hit supernatural action-mystery mangga. The story centers around a high school student named Light Yagami who discovers a supernatural notebook called “Death Note” who were dropped by a rouge Shinigami death God named Ryuk. The notebook allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim’s name and picturing his or her face. The plot follows his attempt to create and lead a world cleansed of evil using the book, and the complex conflict between himself and those assailing him that results.

No one wants to be average.  Everyone wants to be the rock star, the famous player, the one person everyone looks up to.  Deep down, we all want to find something we can call our own, something that makes this world worth living through.  Why is it that we try so hard to find something that is right in front or our eyes?

I wasn’t enough for my family, or so they made me believe.  My dream, it wasn’t enough for them until they saw it could really become a reality, could really make some money.  Dreams aren’t about money, they’re about fulfillment.  No one wants to be the assistant, the plumber, the janitor or even the manager.  Sometimes we try to be something we aren’t because we aren’t given a choice.  I wish we could be given that choice.

What is life to most people?  Why is it that most people just think it’s some joy ride? Why don’t they do what they really want to?  Maybe they think they are doing what they really want.  Maybe they’re too numb to know.  Or maybe they numbed themselves because they were shot down so many times by life. Not by life… by the people in it.

Life is hard, life is tough and harsh but it doesn’t shoot you down constantly like that.  People do.  People tell you that what you think is wrong, that you can’t believe the things you want to.  They destroy your expression ans try to recreate their own in your eyes.  They try to smother everything, almost like they don’t want thought.  We’re oppressed people, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to express.  i want to express, I want to stop holding it all in.  I want to be me, for it to be okay to believe something else.  I want to be alive.

Sometimes I sit here, looking at the screen, wondering what to type.  There are so many thoughts, ideas and stories just jumping out all at once.  I’ve never given them the chance to breathe.  Well, not me.  People never wanted me to express my own beliefs.  I couldn’t be who i wanted to be around others.  If I wasn’t one way i was some kind of freak, if I didn’t like this genre of music I was weird.  You can’t be different.  If I wasn’t white I was made fun of, if I wasn’t Mexican I was ridiculed.  If you aren’t black you can’t be a part of the society, especially if you’re something else.  Being one or the other wasn’t good enough for either side.  Why is it that color defines who we are?  What if I was pink? What would people think then? How would they categorize me?  Or would they just try to kill me?

Why can’t we just believe that we want?  Why can’t people just accept these things?  Why can’t we be unique?  What’s so wrong with being me?  I want to scream that at the top of my lungs.  What’s so wrong with expression of self? What’s so wrong  with wanting to write, to play video games, to like different things other than the “social norm”.  Why can’t we just be who we were meant to be?  Why is it that we all have to try to fit into someone else’s image?

I’ve tried to answer these questions before and came up with the same things over and over again.  Acceptance.  Well, you know, the ultimate form of acceptance is someone loving who you really are, not just some fake image you show to the world in an attempt to gain fake love, fake acceptance.  But that’s all some people are willing to give.
