Don't listen to it!

I've noticed that sometimes this little voice in your head will talk to you, and it's not always pleasant in what it says. Say you're trying on a shirt, and you think you look good in it. Then that little voice says, "You look fat in that, and deep down you know it." So off goes that shirt. But what if you didn't listen? Would you keep that shirt and look good? Somtimes you just got to ignore that little voice in your head. If you do, then you might be a happier person. When you think your ugly or fat, and that little voice is telling you so, you should shut it out! You're probably not fat or ugly, and it's just some little grain of unhappiness telling you that. If you let that grain grow bigger, it'll irritate you like crazy, like the pearl in a clam. So just practice shutting that voice out, no matter if it be about weight, looks, or what people "think" of you. C.S Lewis once said something like, people won't be thinking a thing about you, because people only think of themselves. Get it? Even you think of yourself all the time. It just goes full circle, and if you block out the voice, stop the pearl from growing, and just be yourself, you'll be a much happier person because of that. BE YOUSELF!

Go to it!

Here we are, another day

You know that feeling, where you just feel like you'll never accomplish the task at hand? A lot of times when I sit down to do math, I just feel so frustrated, and it really gets you down. I mean,k your sitting there, staring at these words and equations that make absolutely NO sense, and I'm just thinking, "I'll never do it. It will never get done." I just hate that feeling of sinking heart and that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when your hair-on-fire frustrated. I'm really slow in math, and technically I'm still in 7-8th grade math. But for me, that's pretty good. I just need a little more confidence, then I can do it. But until then, I think I'll complain a little. ;)

Little known facts on: Pancetta and Prosciutto

Pronounced Pan-chet-ta and pro-SHU-to, these two delicious Italian meats are barely known to Americans. What are they, you may ask? Well let's start with Pancetta. Pancetta is to Italians as bacon is to Americans. It is pork that has been salt cured, seasoned and then is left to dry cure for about three months. Every region of Italy has Pancetta, but it is a regional flavor in the region of Corsica. Pancetta will often come in discs, especially outside of Italy. But in Italy itself it comes in strips, like our bacon. Prosciutto, though also made from pork, is much different, as it is like our ham. It almost always in reference to dry-cured hams, and comes mostly the Parma region, also the home of parmigiano cheese. Prosciutto can take up to 8 months to cure, in some recipes. So those are the little known facts of the day. See you later!

The base of all books

Let me begin this post with writers. A good writer is inevitably a good reader, or a lover of books. And, a lover of books has a favorite book, of course. So they take ideas from their favorite book and put those ideas into their own stories. And this is like writing an infinity symbol. It can go on forever. But where does it start? With the base book, of course. The Bible. You see, I was reading my personal favorite book tonight, Little Women, written by Louisa May Alcott. HER favorite book is a book called Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan, which is a Christian book. And what book DEFINES Christianity better than the Bible? So, therefore, the base book, where every other book begins, where every writer, even if it has been done unintentionally, gets inspiration, through the roots of other great writers who have gotten their inspiration is: The Bible. (That was a mouthful.)
