In all seriousness, let's get serious.

We can do it!

Man, I really do feel inspired nowadays. 

The past few, well, months or so, I've been a major downer. I mean, I didn't really like much, like anything, or like anyone. Everything was just drab, boring, pointless, etc. I felt as if there really is no meaning to life, that death is our only salvation.

But after reading some Japanese, English-translated manga about very touching stories, I realized that the meaning of life, quite simply, is to live. 

Last Tuesday, it was a cold day. I stepped outside of my mom's car in the morning and felt a cool breeze brush against my skin. Delectable. The morning sun shining upon me. Simply beautiful.

So nowadays I like living. Life is pretty awesome. Just to think that I live, that I exist on our plane of physical existence and dimensional thought (or so I would like to believe!) is cool.

Anyways, as a sort of real starter to this little gardening project my group and I have set forth, I feel I need to explain why exactly I came across this idea, besides with my semi-daily affiliations with critically-acclaimed rapper Snoop Lion.

I believe I'm a broken record and may have told everybody I talk to this before, but for the sake of the progression of this blog and so forth our project, I digress. 

I was a little kid once upon a time. But I never really did anything for others, anything of significance. Wow, sure, maybe I'd share a gummy worm or two to that girl sitting next to me, but mostly because she was really pretty. 

Now this transpired probably throughout elementary and middle school, I never did much for anyone but myself. But I remember in 6th grade, one really cool charitable event was taking place in our school. I believe it was called "Pennies for Patients".

Well anyways, during the time, I never really ate lunch, I'd usually just ask my mom for money and keep it. And being 11 or 12 years-old, I didn't have much to spend it on.

So during class, my teacher Mr. Wesley called out for any donations, being it a couple pennies or a few dollars. Suddenly BAM-SHABOOM-POW. I whipped out like $80.00 from my wallet and gave it to him. 

This was probably the greatest feeling in the world. That I did something for someone (I hope!).

Anyways, from that point on, I never really did anything else for others. These first few years of high school have been devoid of volunteer work, community service, and charitable event workings. And now that our teacher has provided my group with such an opportunity, I hope to make the best of it alongside Brenton, Danielle, and Tanya.

Getting things started

So this week we haven't done much at all.  But we did find a mentor-sama. Mrs. Battig has decided to help us with our flowery quest for vegetable liberation. Though Brenton was gone today. But today I researched up on this one dude. His name is Epicurus. You see, Epicurus was an interesting guy, in fact, people who studied under him, the Epicureans, are known to inhabit the 6th circle of Hell, as according to Dante's Inferno. Now, Epicurus was widely known for his trilemma, a play on words of the term dilemma.  Now here was his theory: that if God is able to rid of evil, but is unwilling, he is evil; that if God is unable to rid of evil, but is willing, then he is not omnipotent; and that if God is unable to rid of evil and is unwilling, is he God? Well I dunno. Flowers. Anyways, with our garden activities slowly budding along, we hope to get things really started in some 2 weeks or so. For now, more research into circles of Hell.

World peace with potatoes

Unlike the Irish potato famine, our work with a community vegetable garden with the humanitarian organization Mind Gardens will solve hunger. This idea began with the concept of inhalant drugs. This evolved into an interest of the Based God of drug usage, Snoop Dog. Needless to say, Snoop Dog is a very interesting individual, having been arrested some years ago for a murder-involvement. Also drugs. Lots of drugs.

But Snoop Dog is a humanitarian. He is a model, example person towards the righteous journey towards World Peace. Snoopy Snoop Snoop currently owns a junior league football team in the Los Angeles area for inner-city kids to keep off the streets and drugs. Most don't know, but he also has and cares for two loving children.

Anyways, while looking for Snoop's more "enticing" proposals, I came across his organization, Mind Gardens.

Mind Gardens is a nation-wide community garden project aimed to collect food, resources, etc. for impoverished countries. And so, our project is thus forth to create a Mind Garden in our school.

Other people are building bikes, others making a short film, others building doghouses.

But Mind Gardens is legit, yo.
