Pluto called and said your home is no longer a planet!!

So what's this hoopla about Pluto? It got demoted to dwarf planet status? All of this because they have never had infoships reach Pluto and due to some other things, it is not classified as a planet anymore. Hmm. You ever wonder how small they say Pluto is. What if it's just a whole lot farther away from the sun so it looks small? I thinks it's funny how scientist don't know much about our universe and try to make up things that seem to fit but they are constantly changing their minds. I like astronomy but I can't take to much of it as truth because honestly, people just don't know.

So now the question with Pluto is do we change our memory methods of the planets or just leave out Pluto.

Just a thought.

Fantasy

I have thrown down, yet another book of epic fantasy. This is the third time!! Three books filled with filth. It's shameful!

I need to become a writer and a illustrator, then perhaps I can bring hope to a very difficult and fine line world of fantasy. The heroes of these books are becoming more and more impure and less heroic.

It's times like this that I need to pick up books like the Lord of the Rings and try to remember that there is such a thing as good fantasy. Y'know, the kind of fantasy that leaves you feeling awed at the courage and purity of heart that the main characters possess, as well as an amazing story as a whole. I wish that there were more books like this. I will continue my art, just like this piece, and write my stories and see where God leads me. Perhaps I will make a difference in the world of fantasy.

The Unknown

Okay, so I changed the background again. I wanted a softer look. Green just wasn't doing it for me.

Recently I have been thinking a lot about life. I've graduated from college and I'm still trying to figure out where I need to be in the world. Next year is covered. I'll be in New Zealand. But after that...?

This is a hard stage of life. It makes me lean on the Lord more when I'm faced with the Unknown.

Do I go back to school for animation? I'm not one of those people who want to be in school all of my life.

Do I attempt to intern for M. Night Shyamalan, because that would be amazing. However, it was just a thought, not a reality. I just want to see how he makes those incredible films.

Do I do missions stuff? I have never seen myself as a Missionary persay as a profession. In life yes, but hmm...

Do I consider working at a college? CCO seems pretty cool.

Do I work from home doing illustrations and paintings?

Do I move to another city or country and begin life there?

So many questions and no immediate answers. This world of the Unknown is pretty scary.

I know that wherever I'll be, I'll always be doing art. It's a big part of me.

Thus ends my ramblings for the day.

Is it me or was that last post an incredibly boring one?

Hmm.

I'm still posting on xanga so posts here may not be as often as they should.

I decided to change the background a bit. The bright green just wasn't doing it for me. I usually have a dark background with lighter letters, but I decided to keep this template the same. I usually use purples and blues but I'm trying the green out to see how it suits me.

In other news, I am liking this blogspot very much.

That's all for now. I'm lookin' at you , kid!

Hidden in a Whisper

So.
I'm here.

What meant to be a test run has come out in the form of another blog. I am not unfamiliar with blogs, as I have a xanga, myspace music, and such weblogs. However, upon discussion, my sister and I came to the conclusion that we need a blog for when we move to New Zealand for a year in May 2007.

Me, being the ever curious and excited webpage builder, decided to start a little early. There is much news to tell currently about New Zealand info and I am also excited about just starting fresh.

To start this blog out right, I will discuss my unofficial reason for titling my blog as Hidden in a Whisper.

When I first titled it, I thought it sounded cool. But upon much thinking, about 25 seconds total, I decided that it fit with New Zealand. New Zealand is this beautiful country that seems itself to be Hidden in a Whisper. Not many people know of it's beauty or even it's location. And though there may be whispers of it's name here and there, not many know what it is. More popular mention of it may have come since Peter Jackson filmed Lord of the Rings there, and from Disney's Narnia being filmed there.

With that said, I have succeeded in both introducing my new blog (in the broadest sense of the word) as well as conjuring up this semi-lengthy looking post to awe the masses.

I'm sorry to say that for now, a more explicit description of New Zealand will have to come at a later post.

I will leave you with a picture.



I took this while I was in New Zealand for a Service- Learning Trip with Malone College last summer. This is how I feel with the future, the unknown, but I know God's got me.
