Heartbroken

I've been really busy lately, and that's why I realized what I want. It's not important what she did, what matters is what she's going to do, what she's doing now. Why would it matter what's in the past, that can't be changed, but what's in the future can be prepared. But, even if it's like that, the future is fashioned by our past, but, also, like a mighty Mongolian Warlord once said: 'The past is not a prediction of the future.'

But that doesn't mean forgive and forget, because it's not so easy to forget the pain a broken heart takes. A shattered heart will take months, maybe years to repair, and yet, the person who broke the heart moves on, not looking back unless they want to be friends. But, is being friends the right option? It inflicts pain on us, the brokenhearted, and it won't really matter to them.

Let me tell you what I think: It's worth it. Forgiving and forgetting, remain as friends, even if it hurts, it's worth more than you could imagine. See, if you forgive and forget, and also remain as friends, you'll see what you had, that wasn't what you really needed, and you'll be able to find someone better. I know you might find this blog post quite weird, but I'm feeling a bit weird today, so I might not make as much sense as before.

My Experience With Bullying Pt. 1

Life has been incredibly weird to me for a while, but this time, I come with a message about Bullying, about which I made a group on Facebook. When I was a kid, don't remember exactly at what age, I was in my science class taking a test when it happened. See, I have a scar on my right hand which I recieved when I was a smaller (It's also the reason I'm left handed.) Thing is, the teacher, not really remembering his name at present, approached me and saw that I had my hand curled and apparently thought I was cheating, which I wasn't, I just had a bit of a dislike for the scar. Point is, he told me to show him my hand, I said no, so he grabbed my wrist and tried to force my hand open. I wrestled back, trying to get of his painful grip, but even then, he didn't stop, instead grabbing me by the hair and pulling my head back, in an attempt to weaken my closed right arm. Even then, I didn't give up and stood, making him trip over the desk, which seemed to startle him into a pause, and he realized what he had done. My family and I didn't press charges and, to be honest, I'm glad we didn't. Why become a bully to fight bullies? It just creates more bullies and then the circle starts all over again. I'm a fighter, yes, I admit it, but I'm not a punnisher or a judge to make people pay for their problems. I'll put a stop to bullying, not beat the bully for what he did because, in the end, aren't bullies just another kind of bullied? I'll let you think this through as I bid you farewell for now. Until next blog.

Dragon Mercenaries

http://ell-j-converse-stories.blogspot.com/?zx=3700c513f50c0de7



See that link up above? It's a link to my second blog, which is called Dragon Mercenaries. It's about a... Well, just go over there and read it. I know it won't be extremely good or epic or anything, because my good and epic and cool story isn't for free (Unless you're one of my Best 5 Friends), so here's the story's description:


"In an over-crowded world, Guilds stand all over the world, from the noble Paladin Guilds all the way to the lowly Bandit Guilds, the world is ruled by the Guilds they built. One of them is a very well-known Mercenary Guild called Dragon, a Guild our young apprentice Magician, Martha, wants to join. And this is her story and quest to join and become a full-fledged Dragon."


Hope you enjoy it and share it!

A Letter to a Friend

Surprisingly, you're part of the reason why I wasn't mad
When the girl I used to love betrayed and broke my heart.

Somehow, I suspected it would happen from the start,
but I wasn't mad because you were next to me from scratch.

Believe me or not, as you won't, I think of you for a long time,
Day and night and even when I dream you're by my side,
Smiling, laughing and talking to me as if we were one.

Take this as you please, but this is no love letter,
or, in a different perspective, maybe it is a bit better,
for it's a letter from a friend to his lovely mate, which, in truth
couldn't be any better than you.

Great News

Okay, so! Last weekend, on Saturday, to be exact, I was at the Puerto Rico Comic-Con! So, there, I met two new friends and a bunch others who haven't really messaged me yet, so they won't be mentioned. The two are Mattie and Hareed. Mattie is a girl with extremely amazing eyes, brilliant ones, who's a bigger gamer than Nivek, my best friend, and that's saying something. Hareed, I think that's how his name is spelled, is a pretty cool guy who tagged along with me during the whole Comic-Con. Anyway, here's the thing. There where many booths there about comics and the like, so I, who wants to make a comic, spoke to a bunch of them, don't really remember their names, but they were quite... Interesting conversations. Among them, and this is big news and I mean BIG NEWS, I talked to a man that's a writer with a bunch of drawing dudes under his command. He also gave me his number and told me to give him a ring sometime next month! Then he said something about sitting and seeing what we could do or something similar. Anyway, in preparation for the inevitable talk with aforementioned writer, I'm currently finding a way to create a kind of draft. BUT! That's not the end of hope, for I have a proposition for you all. If you share my blog, I'll post a story, chapter by chapter, here. That's my word, and I always go along with my word.

P.S.
I'll have a bunch of pics from the Comic-Con on a post. Take care of yourself.

Bullied?

Ever since I was little, I was always getting into fights against guys who treated others like they were nothing. I really didn't do much, to be honest, but I stood up against bullies, even teachers (Not that I got into fights with them, mind you.) To give support to the bullied, to connect with other bullied people around the world and to share their thoughts and stories, I made a group on FB called Bullied? with the interrogation point. We're just starting there, but we've already got 54 members, myself included.

On other news, my blog has been seen by, up at present, 436 people. It's been seen by 184 people living in Puerto Rico, 178 people living in the US, 28 people living in the UK, 26 people living in Russia, 5 people living in Germany, 2 people living in Canada, 2 living in France, 2 Living in Mexico, 2 living in the Philippines and 1 living in Dominica, according to the Blog's Views, which isn't all that reliable. But even with it's unreliability, I'm extremely happy that A Lot of Random Things has actually reached from my tiny little brain into the minds of so many different people, culture and countries, even if it was just for a few minutes. To those who don't know, I've got a twitter, a Facebook and an E-Mail, which I'll add as links at the bottom. Thanks for your support and patience.

Also, my FB previously showed has been blocked by some unknown reason, so it no longer is mine, use the one above. Also, support by liking the Page. One last thing, if the links don't work, send me an E-Mail and I'll see what I can do.

Dark Shadows

So, I went to watch Dark Shadows and, well, I have about the whole movie-worth of issues with it. The only good thing about the movie is Johnny Deep, Tim Burton and his wife (Who I have never been able to spell the name right.) Now, here's the many things wrong with the movie:

First, No Story: It's like a bunch of clips of the same characters but not really related, since most of the movie was Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Deep, having some kind of physical connection with some lady character. Second, not enough main girl: She appears at the start, in a montage and at about three other scenes in the last half of the movie, each apparition wasn't worth it and gave nothing new to the story. Three, too much sex-related stuff: No, seriously, too much. A bunch of scenes were Johnny Deep doing stuff with one of the female characters. Fourth, COMPLETE UTTER RANDOMNESS: Really, both main characters end up as vampires, Barnabas' girl descendant turns out to be a werewolf, her brother is a spirit medium, his dead mother is actually a banshee, his dad disappears, Tim Burton's wife (Who's name always gave me trouble for spelling) died and was sent to the bottom of the sea (But she didn't really die) and a group of hippies die. See? Random.

I'm saying this one straight: Dark Shadows is NOT worth your time nor money. It sucks, the only moments it made me laugh was because other people had contagious laughter and, honestly, it falls short of what a Tim Burton movie should really be. I'm sad and disappointed at his lack of style and effort to make this movie better, which it could have been. Actually, this movie couldn't have been much worst. If you go see it, do so at your own peril.

My Regards and Best Wishes,
