Mindful Sociology

Starting over the summer, I tried practicing parts of Buddhism. One huge part of Buddhism is meditation. My favorite meditation is staring at your meal before you eat it. You think about every possible thing that had to happen for that exact moment to exist. You have to try it to believe it, but the food taste so much better. Although that is a very cool way to meditate and be mindful of things, life in America moves way to fast to stop and think about every single moment. However, if you think about a couple moments a day, your day might be better as you will get more out of it. Right now, think about everything that had to happen for you to be sitting at a computer reading a blog that I wrote. I have to agree with the theory that if you are mindful, you will live a better life and leave a mark on the world after you die.

Who am I?

I am a 16 year old junior in high school. I spend most my free time listening to music. I go through phases and currently I'm in my indie phase. My favorite band is Ra Ra Riot. The biggest influences in my life are my parents. Things aren't going well at home with the economy being a big part of that, but they still find a way to have fun and love each other even though they show it in weird ways. I have absolutely no clue what my purpose is in life right now.  My goals in life are to make people smile and just live happily. I hope that money won't control my life and that I am successful in my own way.
