The Secret Adventure Filed Of a Dinosaur(21st Edition) : Macbeth


In school, we're reading Macbeth.
The old version.
I've come to the conclusion that even though his words are confusing, I enjoy reading them.
I enjoy imagining the passion Shakespeare obviously has for his characters.
I enjoy knowing that even so far back, even in Elizabethan times, They had struggles in society similar to that of those we have today.
I enjoy getting into the character that I read for in English (Macbeth himself).
For many of these, are the reasons i love books in general.
One thing i really love about reading the old Shakespeare, is how he writes.
The way he articulates his word, and kind of, turns them into a poem. or a song. Something that may have mean something different, to two different people, with obviously different perspectives on everything in general.

A few hours before Macbeth Kills his king, Shakespeare writes :
" The Prince OF Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down, or else over leap, for in my way it lies. Stars hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires! The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see. "
It translates to :
" The prince of Cumberland! (obviously) That is a step that will trip me up, or else i Must leap over it, because it lies in my way. Stars, hide your fiery light. Don't let any light shine on my black and deep desires. Dont let the eye see what the hand is doing ; yet let that deed be done. Which the eye fears to look at after it has been done. "
Macbeth didn't want to see the horrible thing he had done to his loyal and trusted king.
Alot of people are like that.
They stand on, and manipulate anyone that gets in the way of what they want. In Macbeth's instance, it was a crown.
In many other people's its jobs, or boys, or girls (mainly boys) or even really silly things like the last piece of cake.
But each action does have a consequence.
Most people, like me, find that out the hard way.
I have never looked down on someone because of the way they think, or act, or dress, because that's just their outside, and i never judge until i know what's on the inside.
I have the most wonderful friends, that i tried to let go on Monday, thinking that was the best thing for both them and me, but it wasn't.
Ive never ever ever stood on someone, or back stabbed someone, or manipulated anyone to get what i want.. because I'm used to either striving by myself, or being let down.
I've been let down alot in my life, but i am strong enough to get back up.
Much stronger then I, Myself, Even think.

The Secret Adventure Files Of a Dinosaur(20th Edition) : World


I'm sure you've heard that saying: " The World Is My Oyster "
To be honest... I'm allergic to seafood.. so i hope its not a oyster.
I'm thinking I want a new saying.
How about, "The World Is Mine".
I think its pretty much the same thing.
I'm not saying I'm going to control the world, because i believe that everything really and honestly does happen for a reason, but i can control my actions, and my equal or opposite reactions.
Its our world.. and at the moment, the way we choose to live our life, is affecting it.
In a bad way.
And now we have consequences
But this post is about happy things.
The WorldisMine.
And I'm going to prove it.
I'm going to grasp it by the nuts, and let all my creativity flow, my beauty shine, Every talent that i have and every feeling i have is just going to flow like a stream out of my body. every hurtful though that's been weighing me down etching it's hurtful thoughts into my bones I'm going to let it free, and tell it not to come back.
I'm going to let faith, and love, and joy, flow around my body, into my blood, around my muscles.
I'm going to live and breathe everything i love, because i am too precious, my world is too precious, to let anything stand in my way.
Its my future. i sincerely hope you re apart of it. Even if its just to see what i become.

“The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”- Albert Einstein.

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”- Buddha.

“In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”- Oscar Wilde.

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”- Anaise Nin.

“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.”- Sarah Ban Breathnach

“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”- Saint Augustine.

“Change your thoughts, and you change your world”- Norman Vincent Peale


This one is by far my favourite.. because it is so true. Only you, and you alone can change your world..
Youre world is among your thoughts and feelings and the people you choose to have around you.
Change it for yourself. You can only make someone else happy and fully satisfied until you've let yourself be happy.

The Secret Adventure Files Of A Dinosaur(19th Edition) : Eclipse


An Eclipse is a beautiful thing.
Something that i one day wish to see.
Something that still amazes me every single time i see one on the news.
It amazes me that we have a whole world full of beautiful things, that alot of people will never be able to see.
I am not an unlucky person, I am the luckiest person alive, to have so much shit delt to me in my very short life, and yet it still makes me stronger.
Some people aren't that fortunate.
They are "well off", They have two parents still together, they have a good life, a good family.
And they take it all for granted.
My parents split up when i was 4.
I lived with my brother and my mum for almost my whole life, until two years ago.
My family spent a few years living on literally, bread, water and potatoes.
Because they were inexpensive.
I was beaten repeatedly.
Slapped.
Kicked.
Punched.
And when my brother's strength grew along with his hatred of the world for dumping this on us.. He contributed too.
My mother would hit me anywhere she could with the back of my brush.. and she'd get so caught up with the moment that all her anger for my father, and my brother, and the fact we had no house, no money, her job was extremely tiresome, she would make up new words just so she could hit me more.
This happened repeatedly.
This post wasn't written to whinge.
This post was written to say:
All things are beautiful in the world.
If you have the strength to see it.
You must make yourself happy before you can make anyone else happy.
there are times to be selfish, and times to be selfless.
Im going to get out of this small country town and see all the beautiful things,
all the beautiful people.
All the beautiful places.
The beautiful blue skies of paris.
The beautiful cottages of Italy.
The beautiful people and feel of my home country, Spain.
The beautiful you.
The beautiful me, is going to shine.

The Secret Adventure Files Of A Dinosaur(18th Edition) : Fossils

Fossils are amazing things. we use them for fuel, and to teach us about the past to get ready for the future and to pass on the knowledge that us humans love so much to our future generations so they too can learn.
A fossil is: A remnant or trace of an organism of a past geologic age, such as a skeleton or leaf imprint, embedded and preserved in the earth's crust.
Christopher, his brother Anthony, his mum Rita and I all went to the Melbourne Museum on the holidays. Here are a few of the photos I took.


Behind the cages of life and death, Beats a dead heart deep within the ground.



In your Footsteph we Follow



So That you May Lead us Towards the Light



So That our Children


May Evolve into Somehting Greater and More Powerful.


If Only we Saw things


From a few different angles


Until they are Clear and Make Sense.


it doesnt matter what i look like,


because i know I've always got my friends backing me up.


i may look scary but on the inside im the one thats scared.


and sometimes ill be a prick, but ill always love you.

The Secret Adventure Files Of A Dinosaur(17th Edition) : Scared

I like to write songs when im sad.
I write alot in the past but i havent really written much lately, and if youlll let me, id like to share some with you.

but crapsticks i just deleted it! so ill just make it up as i go along

i think it went:
But im a littel bit terrified, of what ive been hiding, and im a little bit mortified, of what left inside, Each and every day a little bit flies away with the butterflies in my stomach and it aches.
When the sun goes down and the night eats up the light,
I wait for you, to show me the light.
To illumite my way, until the dark turns into day
and I'm not scared anymore.


I'm scared of a few things.
.The dark.The dark for obvious boogey monster reasons.


.gravel.Gravel because when I was younger, i got a nail through my knee cap which forced it to shatter and it sounds like gravel.


.time.
And time because I'm scared I won't have enough of it to do everything I want to do.


I'm going to be a Vet.
I'm going to marry Christopher.
I'm going to become everything I'm worth.
And you will do everything you want to aswell.

The Secret Files Of A Dinosaur(16th Edition) : Perfection

I don't see how a stone can be carved and manipulated and turned into something pretty.
An ugly grey stone turned into something amazing.
Similar to a block of wood or a droplet of water in a sandstone cave turned into stalactites and stalagmites..
Or even a person before a makeover. But why cant we let things be the way they are? Why do we always strive for perfection? A rock is a rock, A stone is a stone.
It should be the way something makes us feel that makes the thing itself perfect, not the way it looks or feels.
Perfection is an illusion.
One you can chose to find the inside or the outside perfection.
I just saw a picture of what someone thinks perfection is and around the picture there are writings:
"not eating light makes your clothes too tight"
"The Thinner the Winner"
"Thin is always in. and those who say otherwise, are fat, aren't they?"
"i don't care if it hurts, i want to have control, i want a perfect body, i want a perfect soul"
The picture is of a young girl in her underwear facing backwards so you can see her back and her bum and the back of her head..
She thinks being thin is perfect, and perfection is happiness.
I don't believe that.


The perfect sunset isn't just the picture. it is the sunset I'm going to get married in front of to Christopher.

The perfect man for me isn't what he looks like, or how smart he is, but his kindness and the way he makes me feel. not the way he makes anyone else feel, or how they react towards him.

I don't have the perfect house, or the perfect job, or the perfect family but i am happy.
I'm not perfect in any way shape or form but i hope you can forgive me for that.
