Because it's so much fun trying to stop an argument.
Someday I'm just going to give up and become part of the problem instead.
Yes, boys and girls, my advice for this post is to avoid arguments. Because you can't win. EVER.
Cue the crickets.... and new topic. How's everyone? How's school? All that fun stuff. I've been busy (not) editing Retro-Specter. I'm actually almost a third of the way through. This weekend I get to stay with my grandparents, which'll be fun. They've apparently read part of Retro-Specter--at least, my grandmother has--so I'll have more input to edit.
Today I want to ask everyone's opinion on a certain topic. It's been on my mind for a while, mostly because I've been redesigning some of the themes in my book. Anyways, here's my question/statement to get you guys thinking.
Who are we to determine who lives and who dies? We are merely human, not a god. Preserving life is within our power as is ending life. But just because the power to end life is available, does it mean we should take it? Or is it the other way around? The world is full of death and if we are able to do something, we should? If someone hurts someone else, return fire is only karma? Is karma just an excuse? Is there a line where something goes from karma to vengence?
I want to hear your thoughts.

No chlorine.
I withdrew from swimming. I won't be on the team until at least Christmas, likely longer.
My tip of the day has to do with dealing with family. On a weekday, usually everyone is at school, or at work, or you just don't have to deal with any of them until the evening. That is not the case on weekends at my house. Saturdays and Sundays, it is very rare that we go anywhere or do anything. Hey, I have a kinda big family, and all my siblings are younger than me, so travelling is a hassle.
What do you do when your annoying sibling refuses to clean up after him/herself?
If you're smart, you shut up, kick the whatever it is under the bed or couch, and go along with your business. Or if you're stubborn (like me) you tell them repeatedly every five minutes to pick it up until they do.
And I wonder why my siblings think I'm mean. See? I can be reasonable. (That would be my daily life tip. If you don't have siblings, this applies to intelligent animals. Except cats. Everyone knows that cats only allow us to live in the same place as them because we provide entertainment.)

And last, some Retro-Specter news. I finished editing chapter nine, so as soon as chapter ten is looked over, both will go up.
