'Tis the night before Christmas when I write in this blog. Listen people, Merry Christmas tomorrow! And for the people who celebrate any holidays: Happy "Insert Holiday", and for those who do not celebrate have a great time.

As you shall now know, I have turned 14 years of age on December 21. Hooray. I am also working on a book, and a compilation of short stories that will be amazing and that I know will get published. So it has been very exciting for me, other science fair and various homework that keep on vexing me. I have gone to through as entirely knew person, and just love the new iPod touch that I received. I would also like to thank my readers for inspiring me, greatly. Truly I do. I am also willing to hand the Life of A Writer blog to a few friends who are truly helping me right now. Changes will be known shortly.

For my fans, I will write a holiday story, although beware to those of you who know my writing style, for it has Human Resources in it. However, after that one, I will write a story with a happy ending!! Eye popping, isn't it. So for now, that is all that I have to say. Thank you.

11/28/08

Dear readers, I meant to post this on the 27th, but here I am writing right now when it is currently 12:24 A.M. No wait, 12:25 A.M. I just realized that the Blog's timer is 2 hrs. and 1 min. behind my correct time for the time zone I live in, but I'm to lazy to do anything about it. Well, Happy Thanksgiving (no offense intended) or Happy Turkey Day everyone. There are some strange things going on.

A poll on the Short Stories and Scripts of Nawal site has ended. According to the results, I am supposed to write a Dark Humor story, and I will give all I have in my power to do so. I thank everyone that participated in the poll.

If you have been listening to the news, you might have heard the terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. Many lives were taken, and a great number of people were injured or mortally wounded. I still do not know the reason why the terrorists did this, but I can guess that reasons are close to, if not the same, as what I say: power, revenge, religious causes, fun???, no reason, political/economical reasons, racial reasons, et cetra, et cetra, et cetra. It does not matter, for I ask if it is really necessary to take a human's(or s') life? Can't anything be compromised. If anyone is fighting for land, when you die, the land will remain, unlike the person who wasted his/hers life over it. The land was never yours, and never will it belong to anyone. If anyone fights for money, then when they die, the money will remain in this world, obviously. However, why waste your life over it, for doing such a thing could be considered foolish. It can be shown in history that change causes change. So unless there is someone to stop it, conflict shall also cause conflict. I have to ask that why do people start fights anyway? If anyone stops to think about it, then through the smothering and clouding blackets of race, religion, society, and politics, they will see that we are all human. The world could be a better place if it was something like this:

"Are you Christian?" A man would ask a person about their religion.

"Gabosa." You would answer, giving him your surname.

"What?" He would ask puzzled, gaining a chance to become aware and free of the burdens created by our own minds.

"My name is Christian Garbosa." You would answer smiling and offer your hand.

"Oh." You would shake hands, and the other man would walk away in a daze of awareness, maybe seeing the truth or maybe not.

OR MAYBE...

"Are you a Christian/Hindu/Muslim/Jew/German/Oriental or Traditional/Buddhist/ [insert religion, race, belief, cult, group, political party, society level, etc.]?" Someone would ask you with some judgement that is just waiting to pounce on top of your answer.

You would smile, slyly, holding back a full blown grin, "No. I am a human. What are you?"

"I am a...human." They would have to reply back.

This is the one I like, for it brings out the best reaction and you might have set someone on to the path of self realization. It's these little things that can make the world a better place to live in.
