The Big Little Drummer Boy

Hey Ferb! What Do you wanna do today?

People come in and out of my life on daily basis, but there is a special handful of those who never left. My younger brother is easily one of my best friends; while not everyone knows him, he is someone to never be overlooked or forgotten. Honestly, and with every type of “cheese” intended, my life changed on September 25th, 2000: the day Timmy was born.

While I can’t recall the details of that day nor every single memory we’ve had since then, my parents can tell you and the pictures will show you, we’ve been buddies since day one. There were definitely countless times we annoyed each other to the point when mom needed to break us up and cool off; it’s just what happens when you have siblings. And honestly, thank God it does, because without my little booger of a brother, I wouldn’t have accumulated the levels of patience that I have now. Most likely, he feels the same way about me. The best thing about having a brother, is I have an automatic best friend forever; literally. He’s been in my life for as long as he’s been alive. I’m part of his forever. And we’ve had some really good times.

Timmy is an extremely special person who doesn’t cease to amaze me. From the time he could, he’s been tapping and banging drums everyday. He’s celebrated so many amazing achievements like being honored the top high school jazz drummer in the state, performing with multiple bands and ensembles, participating in Thom Hannum’s UMass Drum Corps camp three summers in a row, and all while working hard in school, playing football then sitting on a drum kit during halftime, and learning how to be a great human being.

He also is quite the comedian and impressionist. He can often be heard reenacting scenes from the hit Disney movie Lilo & Stitch, as well as the great Patrick Warburton a.k.a Kronk.

Timmy can be found practicing song after song on his beautiful basement kit or drum pad, generously funded by Moi :)

He is also an avid gamer with a tendency to get “angy.”

He loves pasta and the Wendy’s Bacon-ator, extra bacon.

Bro, does actually lift.

He drives the stick Subaru better than I do.

Timmy loves lamp and just ate a big red candle.

More importantly, Timmy is my amazing big, little brother.

I love you so much Doofenshmirtz/Poop-head.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
