translation of my favorite spanish poem... 'yo no soy yo' 'i am not i'

I am not I.
I am this one who goes by my side without me seeing him;
whom, sometimes, I go to see,
and whom sometimes I forget.
He that is silent, serene, when I talk,
he that forgives, sweetly, when I hate,
he that walks through places I am not,
he that will remain on his feet when I die.

Random Poem

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room.
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.

i love reading because...

I love reading because reading a book is an escape from reality. Reading helps me clear my mind when i'm upset. I also like reading because it is really good for you. It helps exercise your mind and builds your vocabulary. Another reason I really love reading is that it gives you a glimpse into something new, a new culture or just someone else's thoughts. Reading is always an adventure.

I dont know what it is about San Pasqual Academy but i feel like i don't belong here...

just, being here feels wrong...

Amber Dubois

On Friday, Febuary 13th 2009 Amber Dubois disappeared.
She was walking to school that day and never arrived.
Recently Amber was featured in People magazine along with five other missing children.

Amber was one of my best friends.
we walked to school together often.
I often feel like her disappearance is my fault because i meant to walk with her that day but i didn't.

My favorite color is blue and every time I see it I miss her because the color makes me think of her eyes.
