Holidays

So due to school and a hectic schedule (and laziness), my posts have been few and far between. I'm trying to be more constant to increase ambition levels. Trying being the key word.
In other news, today's celebrates the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (is it his birthday? I always get it confused). Now I'm sure we all know this man's story, you may have seen that animated movie about the kid who goes back in time and brings Martin back with him so he doesn't get shot but it messes up the future, in elementary school. Or was that just my school? Regardless, Dr. King was a very inspirational man. Growing up as a colored child in q very segregated and harsh America. His famous speech "I Have A Dream" Is known world over.
Now King didn't single-handedly put an end to racial prejudice, but his contributions to the world have made an incredible difference. As cliche as it sounds, one person, given enough ambition and inspiration, can make a big difference in the world.
Food for thought, I'm certainly trying to apply it to my life.
A few months ago, I watched a video about Columbine (I wish iPod had spell check), and was struck by one of the things a victim had said. She told that she didn't want to be average, and that she wanted to make a difference in the world.
Now I don't consider myself "average" as I'm a rather odd person, but I wold like to make a difference in this world. So it all comes back to ambition and inspiration. I lack them, but they are very good things. How cool would it be? "Eliwhattheheck Day!"
