I Follow My Dreams.

What about you?

This might sound a little silly, but a good amount of the decisions I make are based on dreams I have. For example, the biggest driving force that lead me through my transfer to Plano West Senior High School was the fact that in one of my dreams, I was leaning against the white board in the Music Theory room watching two of my closest friends play a game during one of Mr. Desoto's Video Game Nights during the Marching Season. I can recall that dream with this accuracy because it happened and I don't regret my decision.

An Interesting Theory on Love

A Theory on Love by a Fictional Thirteen Year Old Girl by the name of Rose in the novel "The Scent of Rosa's Oil" by Lina Simoni.


Chapter 3, Page 50
"By her thirteenth birthday, Rosa had come up with her personal theory about love: for a man and a woman to love each other, the man had to have money and pay the woman beforehand. A man could love as many women as he wanted as long as he paid them. A woman could decide not to love a man if she was tired, like the girls and Madam C were sometimes. In an case, when women fell in love, they walked around naked. When a man married a woman, that woman became the only one the man was allowed to pay, and the woman could take money only from him. At that point, the man often wrote love poems for the woman, and the two became husband and wife. When a husband paid his wife, children were born."

This theory isn't so bad for a thirteen year old.
