Updated my Tumblr, and organized a bunch of posts I did in Finland into the Finlandia section up above!  Currently blasting some Anberlin (“Breaking”).

GOOD NIGHT WORLD <3

I text you and you don’t reply.

Anywhoooo,.

You need to smile more.  You’re an honorary bro!  WAVE GOODBYE TO THE PAST, YOU’VE GOT YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO LEAD

Sorry.  Those are song lyrics.  Good song, better lyrics.

Try sleeping?  I’d like to you to be responsive in the morning. 

That sounds extremely sinister.  

BYEEEEE

Here’s another blog post from when I was in Finland.  Check it out!

So today I decided to play the foreign photographer.  I snapped some shots of a lovely blonde girl (big surprise there, being in Nordic Europe).  But it wasn’t her hair that I wanted to capture, but her eyes.  And boy, were they some eyes.  I’m not sure if her hair was naturally blonde (but seeing as everyone here has a variation of blonde hair, we’ll assume it was), but it really intensified the colour of her eyes.  And her eyes were like a liquid like blue, but then if you looked closely, they were green.  And not green, but blue, so always shifting. 

Allow me to wax poetic eloquence on this girl’s eyes. 

Eloquence/

Her eyes held a beauty that didn’t come from makeup and jewelry, but from the mystery that came from within.  What tragedy had befallen her, what mysteries had she seen, to hold this inside of her?  Did she carry knowledge of love lost inside?  Did she feel the pain of forbidden love?  Had she seen the glories of heaven, and turned back to brave hell as a mortal?  What did she know, that we could only dream of?  Where was she going?  And most importantly, where did she come from?

/eloquence

Ahem.  Anyway, I’ll post a link of the pictures.  All I did, really, was crop the shot, and then I played with contrast and saturation, if I remember correctly.

Look at them.  She’s beautiful, eh?  Mona Lisa eyes.  Down to the core.  She’s looking into you, but not necessarily at you.  She beckons you to come closer, to learn her wisdom and drink in her secrets.  It’s poetry.  Or maybe it’s the lack of sleep on my part making me loopy.

I feel terrible for two reasons.  The first is that (odds are) I’ll never get a chance to see this girl again.  And she’s nice.  Really nice.  Which means that a trip to Finland again is in order.  The second thing is that I only captured her eyes for you.  So I’ve withheld something and I usually don’t do that unless it’s personal.  I told her she should be a model, and it’s true.  She’s model material.  Maybe it was the language barrier, but talking with her was adorable because with the limited conversation we had, her shyness was really cute.  #MeThinksIHaveALittleInternationalCrush

Anyway.  I’ll edit a few more shots, and perhaps throw them onto this post.  Or, you can tweet me @kobeOTH and ask to add me on Facebook.  Then you can lurk my profile till you find the extra shots.  And do me a favour too.  Take time today and do something nice for someone you don’t get along with, or someone you don’t like.  Seriously.  Try it.  It’ll be worth it J

So I got myself a summer membership to the YMCA.  For those of you who don’t know, I’m about 5 foot 8 ish, and currently, about 165 pounds.  That number may or may not increase when exams come in June.

That being said, I’d like to become more fit, not necessarily big, but fit.  Angelo Estrada has been awesome and given me some stuff to think about in my quest for health, and now I’m asking Tumblr to help too!

What are some workouts I can do?  I’m thinking of doing three days a week as a workout, and two days to swim/play soccer/destress.  I don’t want to just run on the treadmill or push the leg weights, which is what I usually do.  Help?!

Also, if you want to post delicious recipes that are healthy, go right ahead!  I’m trying to change up my diet a bit :P

Thank you, internet!
