When creating a list of 100 ways to motivate yourself it struck that there were some commonalities inherent in a lot of the entries. Most of the items on the list consist of a physical or emotional state that you don’t currently have but can make into a goal of some type that you can then strive after. The motivation in this is two fold if you keep in mind that the journey or striving is just as important as the goal or endpoint. If you can periodically look at how far you have come from where you started then the distance left to the goal won’t matter as much because you will have a sense of accomplishment along the way which is motivating in itself. This article will list the 100 ways to motivate yourself and give a guide at the end of the list.

Between 10-12% of people on earth are “lefties.” Women are more likely to be right-handed than men by about 4 percentage points.i
August 13th is “Left-Hander’s Day.” Launched in 1992, this yearly event celebrates left-handedness and raises awareness of the difficulties and frustrations left-handers experience every day in a world designed for right-handers.c
At various times in history, left-handedness has been seen as many things: a nasty habit, a mark of the devil, a sign of neurosis, rebellion, criminality, and homosexuality. It has also been seen as a trait indicating creativity...

The moment you took your life
I felt mine ended too.
If I could only turn back time
there’s so much I would undo.

I didn’t see the warning signs.
You held them deep inside.
Struggles you were going through
you did so well to hide.

I’m left with guilt and sorrow,
and confusion as to why
you didn’t tell me of your pain
and felt you had to die.

The Sadness of the sight was just to much to bare
And now its me lying here
Cold,Crimson and Dead

You will never know how I feel inside,
The pain that still resides,
Happiness was once in my life,
Those days have long since ceased.

Vampires From Around the World


By Stephanie Moore

A vampire is a blood-sucking, undead thing of the night that comes after people in their nightmares. Many cultures have vampire myths. In the past, folklore was a means of explaining what people didn’t understand. Widespread vampire mythology reflects the uncertainty about death that we all face.

People in the past had little understanding of the decomposition process.If an exhumed body looked “plump”, how did they know it was the natural result of gases in the body? To them, blood leaking from a corpse’s mouth meant that the dear departed...

The most random thing ever made - me and my friend talking on facebook chat. Brace yourself for an undescribable dose of epicness.

H - Hattress
E - Her Friend Emily

H: Why do you call me and not say anything?
Second time in a row?

E: When did I call you?
Probably my sister was playing.

H: That explains a lot.
Many people call me by accident because I'm first on their contacts list. (my name starts with a)

E: Was she singing "Hallelujah"?

H: Nope.
There were only some creaks
and kind of a distant scream
I thought that maybe you're being murdered.

E: Because we've got a torture chamber in our basement, but...

I have seen a lot of cyberbullying before, but it seems to be getting much worse and needs to end. The other day I was on Youtube when I saw an arguement where one person was clearly bullying the other. I had watched a video that had all these clips from different movies put together while "Fireflies" by Owl City played in the background. After it was over, I looked at the comments and I was very upset by this arguement. I'm not going to give the actual usernames or real names of the people involved, but let's just call them "Annie" and "Jessica". I apologize in advance if you're reading this...
