Down in Bermuda the Pale Blue Sea

I finally got around to uploading my pictures from BermudaBermuda is a very interesting island. I didn’t find it to have much of its own culture. There isn’t a type of music native to the island, nor are there many foods or traditions unique to the island.

However, everything that Bermuda lacks in culture, it makes up for in beauty and tranquility. It’s as if the world stops around you as soon as you set foot on the island. All different hues of blue, green, and turquoise that you could imagine; not a billboard or high rise in sight; you won’t even find any fast food restaurants in Bermuda.

I wouldn’t go to Bermuda looking for a cultural experience, but it is the perfect place to go to if you want to unwind, sip on some rum, and enjoy the simplicity of nature and peace. I’d be there tomorrow if I could…

Keep the Car Running


I sometimes wonder why certain people try so hard to be someone other than who they truly are. It's just mind boggling to me.
I see no reason to live a fictitious life - we only live once, you might as well be who you truly are and want to be. I guess that statement is sort of misleading though - since many people want to be someone other than who they really are.

I don't even know why I am writing about this right now. It's just been something that has been on my mind lately due to the falsified people around me and it has been a reoccurring theme in my own personal life.
I see no reason to change who I am, for anyone. I'm not saying I don't have faults, because everyone has faults and I have many of them. However, my faults make me who I am, for better or for worse. Everyone evolves over time, and perhaps one day the faults I currently call my own will no longer be part of me, but as for the immediate moment they represent a part of who I am.

I have totally digressed though. That's not even what I was truly originally talking about. I just feel like everyone is an actor now a days. Everyone's trying to be somebody else. Whether it be to pacify someone else or even superficially pacify themselves.

Or maybe I'm just bitter that I'm not an actor. If I was, perhaps I would have more friends and I wouldn't have so many people asking me on a daily basis if something was wrong with me, right? Or maybe, I'm such a good actor that I have successfully convinced myself that I am not one, and that I am true, but in reality I am just like you.
