[Last night I watched the premiere to "Life In A Day" on Youtube that was being broadcasted live from Sundance Film Festival. It was one of the best films I've ever watched in my life. It's being shown tonight again I think so if you can catch it it's at youtube.com/lifeinaday. Thousands of people made videos on July 24th, 2010, and director Kevin Macdonald put the best together to show what life was like in a single day on earth. It's moving, touching, inspiring and best of all, REAL. It was quite amazing to watch different cultures and people do their thing on that one specific day in time. You're truly experiencing the story of what happened to people from around the world on that day and it makes it a really beautiful experience.

Because of it, I was inspired to write and this is what I got from that inspiration. I never know what I'm going to write until I start writing. I know the grammar and sentence structures may not be that great but I did my best and really wanted to share it with you all, because it's about people like you and people like me. I can fix all the mistakes and stuff later. I hope you like it!]

Somebody's Nobody

While looking at my video games this morning I started thinking about whom I am. I thought about the things I like, am passionate about, the dreams I have and have had, about what I would eat today for lunch, and how I need to shovel my balcony of all the snow. I thought about art, love, hope, desire; everything that makes me this person. Yeah, sometimes I stand looking about, drinking from my cup of tea, and think about life and where it's taking me. So I thought I would share a little bit about myself with all of you, for no particular reason.

I'm a nobody. Of all the most interesting people you could find in the world, ones with an expert opinion, a talent so extraordinary it renders you silent during its display, or those who just have that special something about them, you won't find me among them. I'm not trying to put myself down or make you believe I don't like myself, because in fact, I love myself. I love that I'm healthy, have a bed to sleep in with a roof above my head, and that I have a close family who loves each other. But according to the world I'm still a nobody. So why would you want to read about me?

Maybe if I told you that one time I stared a teacher in the eye and told her the honest truth, and that my character was what lead her to choose me to be a peer mediator in high school, or that I once read a book so inspiring that I've dreamed of becoming a writer ever since, would you find it interesting? Perhaps you'd laugh if I told you as a child I left my sister for dead in a hole in the snow while running away from a "killer doll" we found in our shed, and because of memories like that we share a stronger bond today. Or maybe if I told you I was brave enough to say "I love you" and that now I'm married to the woman I thought I could never call my own, making me somebody's nobody, it would give you hope?

I'll keep drinking my tea as I stare out the window, watching the man in the truck plough the road of all the snow, and hope for a better tomorrow continuing to be inspired by the nobody's around the world for their hard work, dreams, and love for life. I'll keep drinking my tea and keep reading about you.
