I always see people changing themselves to fit in with crowds, to try and be what people classify as “popular” and or try to find ways to get attention from others. Why? I can understand some of the reasonings but ultimately, why? Why change who you are to get a better social status among those who think they’re so high and mighty? Don’t let them decide who you get to be.

Everything in life is the way it is because we perceive it to be that way. If a certain group of people are classified as “popular” because they look a certain way or act a certain way, why not see each of them as they really individually are instead of allowing them to be perceived in a silly cliche society tends to brand others with.

Death. It unfortunately happens every single day all around us and it’s something we try to not think about it. But with time, we all have to face death in one way or another.

Back in 2012, Carrie Hope Fletcher, also known as It’sWayPastMyBedTime, posted a video discussing how she wants her funeral to be like and it got me thinking. She made a lot of points that I feel are fantastic ideas so definitely check out her video.

Now, death naturally is a sad thing. Loosing anyone in your life or someone you love will almost always be hard, but to me, each and every person that passes should be, in a sense, celebrated.

So for my funeral, I have a little plan for anyone that may attend. First and foremost, let’s toss the word “funeral”. When I go, it’s going to be a little gathering, a party if you will. Not in celebration that I am dead, but in celebration of the life I lived and the connections I had with each and every person that was in my life.

This was the first time my dog had ever seen snow and was able to play in it. Boy did he have so much fun! I immediately went and grabbed

Perhaps you don’t like people looking through your phone or your computer? I just don’t like people looking through my stuff or at my personal things that I have in “my room” for some strange reason, and boy am I learning that! Do you have anything you’re like that with? Or am I just the weird one? I hope you’re having a glorious day filled with rainbows, unlimited amount of cookies and unicorns (unlimited…) I know I am! They’re such beautiful creatures. I have one here with me that I just named Nancy. He’s pretty spectacular. Yeah, I’m soo good at naming things aren’t I? I mean, how epic is the name “PirateGray” right? So much win.

I took a lovely trip through Florida earlier in January to disconnect from the internet, well at least spending as little time as I could on the internet. Traveling through to St. Augustine where I walked through Fort Castillo de San Marcos, found the Fountain of Youth, and then took a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando and well, of course went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I had a lovely time and wanted to share you some of the awesome things I did. I know this is a bit different but I do hope you enjoyed this!

I also posted some photos from my trip on my Instagram, go check ‘em out – http://instagram.com/pirategrayson
