Green Flamingobecause I said so

It is time for a little interior designing again for I am so lazy I have not been working much on my coming site, green flamingo designs. Maybe that is because I am busy keeping this website’s ass alive, or maybe another reason. I apologize that I was not writing over those days, well I did write, but not that much. Now I am trying to stay constant (AGAIN) but something always seems to block my path. So anyway, I thought I would introduce you to Eurway.com!

Basic over view – the basic overview, probably when I link to them on the other site, this will be the little description. If you are looking for some semi expensive, and you have that money to spend, head on over to eurway.com and check out what they have!

Why I like it – Well, why is Eurway.com so good? How did it catch my eye? I will first tell you how I came across it. In the mail, there was this FAB magazine or whatever, Eurway’s magazine. I saw what I like in there. There were specific themes maybe for a certain page, and everything was not just abstract furniture. Things fit together nicely. After I looked at the price of some of these though, it was a little different, but their furniture is still just as good.

Lucky for you – If you check out the site and like it, there is a sale until May 27th! You can get things on sale (Really on sale! A $500 thing in the $300 range)! So why don’t you go take a look at the sale section. I would!

Furniture is great. Site? – The furniture is fine for me, but the site gets on my nerves. No matter where I go I will be picky about how a website looks, and how easy it is to navigate one. I became apparent to me that in the sidebar some of that print is barely readable! Now the problem I have with eurway.com is the navigation. It is hard to get around. Things aren’t organized well in my opinion. Once you go into a category, you have to click other things in that same category, then once you click there a some furniture or accessories shown, but the only way to get back is to either go into that first category, then into the sub category again, o press back. I hate pressing the back button, I don’t know why, but it is annoying. I am also annoyed that eurway, with a professional website doesn’t take the time to link back to that other page.

So, I still recommend you to Eurway, but if you want something expensive on a hard to navigate site.

For your information – this is NOT a paid review, I just decided to review this because it seemed worth it. I am not advertising either, I am just showing you one of the resources I will use to find furniture, and relaying that on to you with information I found. I would be happy to review your site, most likely for free, so if you are interested just leave a comment.

I am packing up, well, in the process. Sometime at the beginning of summer I will be leaving the blogging house, or actually the blogging house will be leaving me. It is both sad and happy, good and bad. All of the designs I worked on for the past year and a half to two years will be gone, and sadly I will be living in a house that is cluttered, though I am trying to inspire the cleaning of it. (By the way, for people who are spying on me, ahummm, and thanks. I do know who you are). Now living with these people who won’t automatically clean on their own, won’t try to improve their living space, they shock me. I see they don’t care as much about their surroundings and how they affect them. I want to wipe all that junk right into a huge empty trashcan, jst take my hand and swipe it off. Seriously. If I was given a few thousand dollars and permission to throw anything away to give the house a makeover I would trash that shit and furniture and have something worthwhile living with. These particular two people that I live with think there is a value in everything, and there is and they are right, but sadly this thinking of theirs also means they will keep all those things they feel have a value, and then the house will become a junkyard. (Thanks again for spying, I really appreciate it). So, back to cleanin and packing up.

I am packing all my things, starting with some of my closet things, and then eventually will come books, toys, and so on. Now, at my destination, I think I might even switch rooms, and have the room I have here (same house layout, funny eh?). In that case, things might work for me. Over at the non-blogging house, my destination, I will have to move the legos into a concentrated area instead of having them eat up the whole floor. Work has begun on this. Also, if I am going to switch rooms with my sister, then she will have to cooperate (I haven’t addressed the idea yet, I thought of it a few minutes ago and I don’t want to interrupt my writing), and have her move all of her stuff, and besides the cooperation that may be hard, especially because of her big fat dresser (we might not keep that though, it is scratched up, and was my older sister’s before, but we may sell it). I am using a lot of commas!(like you haven’t noticed).And a lot of parentheses! (Did you see that coming either, huh? Huh?). So their I will have to do something with my bed, because I have taken on to a low bed now. I will keep most of the things I had at the blogging house, because those are the things I like and have lived with, and I want my spirit to live on and not to be sucked into a world of hopelessness where I cannot clean anything, instead I will have one room at least that is clean and uncluttered, even if mission-the-rest-of-the-house fails. Those are my plans. So wish me luck on my mission, I will see if I can complete it, and complete it at that with the serenity of a jedi knight, though that will be very hard to accomplish.

As some of you may know, I am starting an interior design business and site, which will have many features. Before I start the site I am doing research on how I want it to look to know exactly what programs to use and other things of the sort. I have a little sketch of how I want the dropdown menu bar to look, how that will be organized. In my research, I am looking on how interior design websites are structured and what components they have. The basic look of most is very sleek, but plain. This reminds me of video of top design winner Matt who won topdesign on BravoTV.

In my research I came about a site that first asks you some questions. You check the category off if it applies to you. All of the categories applied to me. The categories were:

Do you have an interest in physical spaces? When you are in a space do you tend to take notice of your surroundings?

Do you frequently make suggestions on how to improve your home surroundings, or do you like to design or redesign your personal space?

Can you some day see yourself as the person responsible for redesigning the interior of your school, your favorite restaurant or nightspot, or a clothing store?

Are you creative or artistic?

Do you work well in teams to solve problems and overcome challenges?

I wonder if it is ironic that all the categories applied to me, but they did. I may be made to be a designer. Do you have what it takes? Go on to the button down there that says, “click here” and read more about interior designing. There are other helpful pages on that site and that is why I bookmarked it. I am on the long path to victory.

Tonight I or we watched Bridge to Terabithia, a movie of a book I have read, and it was surprisingly quite similar to the book. This movie actually taught it’s purpose, the purpose the book had. And if you have seen it, Lesley dieing herself isn’t the sad part, the sad part is, or more the happy part, to recognize what she gave everyone that was around her. To me it was wonderful how they created it, the joy and mourning put together, it gave you that emotion, the inspiration to open your mind to the world and new ideas, and to me that was amazing. Sorry this post is so short, it is only something that should be recognized. I am working on improving my site by the way so look for changes.

Sleep is essential in one’s life. You must have sleep to live, in other words. I myself have not been getting enough sleep. I am trying to stop this happening. It is not very easy. Not long ago at my dad’s we watched a 60 minutes about sleep. Lack of it would cause certain effects. Good sleep would cause certain effects. I will list some of them below.

For bad/not enough sleep: The scientists noticed that the sleep deprived people were not as alert and onto their senses as normal. Not having enough sleep they said was like being drunk. They were not alert on the road. Also, if very tired, they could fall asleep on the road and in two seconds, would be starting to veer, four seconds and they’re off the road, ix seconds they hit a tree, not very good. Also the sleep deprived – when shown disturbing images, would have this part of their brain react much more strongly than the regular people. That would mean they sleep deprived were very disturbed.

Good sleep: If you were trying to remember something, whatever it was, it would be much better the next day. Here’s the test they did: There was a sequence of numbers that was made up. There were two different groups that tried. One group was shown the sequence in the morning, and at night, tried to type it again. The other group was shown the sequence in the evening or at night and then in the morning, after the same period of time went by, tried to type the sequence again. A higher of number of people finished or got farther in the sequence from the second group that started night, tried in the morning than the first group that started in the morning and tried it at night.

So as you see, sleep deprivation can be a bad thing. The average amount of sleep people get in the world is somewhere between six and seven hours. And people who have not been getting enough sleep do not usually know it.

Even without these tests done to show us we are not getting enough sleep we know, (even though it says people don’t, but people in general especially if they spread the word to know) that we are not getting enough sleep. From this I can feel very tired and exhausted, and I don’t think that I have been rested to the fullest for a lo time yet. Deep sleep is what we need and the time of deep sleep one gets decreases as that person ages. Also without deep sleep you can come very close to having diabetes, or other things that can harm your body. I wish there was a way for me to be fully rested every day, or even if I could fall asleep easily. All this would be nice, but I don’t know if it will happen.

*You have probably not read this post yet, it is about getting a headstart. Also, as I said in that or the one before, I am probably going to post a lot, meaning once or twice a day, so stay tuned often.

Time for another change. As always when thinking about a change, especially in furniture, furnishings, houses, and so on, I have millions of ideas. And saying that gave me an idea! I could sell my counselling to people that need ideas with their home. But I won’t get into that now. But it may help me get on the express. So with the change, it’s more than just change of housing and furniture. It might be a big change.

 One thing that is on my mind and is sad to me, is that Grandpa was diagnosed with leukemia cancer. He will be able to be treated but there is no cure for it. Anyone who has it will die from it at some point. He may live for a few months or a few years. No one knows. But I was hoping he would be able to stay in this world longer to teach us more things. It would have been nice to know that he was going to be around for a long time without being sick. He has thought about dying I’m sure, but was surprised with this outcome, but he accepts it.

Another change that’s not just how my house looks is that in a few  months (June if it happens) my mom may be moving. This would be to help with work, to do channelling. This is OK, but we would live with our dad all of the time. hat would be OK too, but there are still setbacks.

The whole idea of us living with our dad for maybe six months is what sparked these ideas. I now have ideas for throwing away and selling stuff, and I am even going to look on realtor.com or craigslist for a house. I have some ideas, but we may not even be moving. That’s the basic change, just trying to think of a way to make money, but I think I almost have one nailed. Are those kind of ideas special? Would you pay for me to give suggestions out to make your home a better place? It’s a thought. Who knows what’s around the corner.

It is mostly true. I do not care much about this “Presidents Day” in the United States. I’d rather celebrate something more useful. Anyone have any ideas? Anyway, it i not that important besides that we school off. To update you on my ninja training,  I now have a traditional ninja and other martial arts training sword. Other than that, not much, I have begun on my lego base and know pretty much what legos I’ll decide to get.

So. Now I have decided to finally stop the votes. I think it may have been because I said the poll would end a few days ago and then forgot about that.

Becoming a ninja does not seem to be an easy thing. I started it one day when Serena said it was time and gave me and my friend Dylan a test. After the test, we began our training. We have not trained together in a long time but that does not prevent me from training on my own.

To be a ninja, you need to be flexible, strong, brave, agile, and many other things. Last week was when I really started meditating. I stretched as much as I could and tried to practice ninja skills such as jumping. Here is a little video that shows some ninjas. You may want to also search “urban ninja” to see more or something else related.

(Sorry I couldn’t embed the video. It was all messed up). If you don’t believe that they were doing that, it’s ok, maybe those people aren’t actually doing what it looks like. But there are people that can do that, and I hope to be similar. Ninja skills are very hard. But I think if you try hard enough, you can master them like the people in the video.

Go on and go on ahead. Explore the world around you. Get out there, someway, (but safely) and really be yourself. It all amounts to good ends.

Over yesterday and today, we have done many things, being one reason why I have not posted. But don’t fret, here I am, attempting to entertain you. My writing style has changed drastically over the past few years, and the vocabulary I use. Here we are, living on Earth, and sometimes I wonder, “What is our purpose, and do we even have a purpose?” Am I supposed to invent a speeder, (post coming on that), or am I supposed to be the #1 bank robber in the United States. Or am I supposed to be known not at all, a poor candy-shop worker with a shop that gets no traffic and I can barely afford food, much less what we would call a livable house. Do you ever wonder things like that, I don’t think about that often, but every once in a while, though not like that. Now here is a question for you, ” What is your opinion on life, how do you view things?” Try to be somebody else, see how it is. Do you like it? Maybe you do, and maybe you don’t. And now I’m asking myself this question as I write this, “Why am I writing this? Why am I telling people to do this? The post was going to be about my past few days, but now it’s all different?” I don’t know, after this, even if you didn’t understand the rest, (I didn’t even get all of it when I wrote it!) understand this one thing: Go to yourself, you can find the answer, even if it takes years, and even if you had to experience the answer to your question first, you will still find out.
