Favorite Harry Potter Spells
Fear
Fear: An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
I have I ever felt this before? No. That's what I would tell you but I would be lying. I have fears like anyone else. The usual like what if I died today or saying something stupid to your crush or finding a spider in your room then when you leave to get toilet paper and come back you can't find it anymore. I also fear that I will fail, won't amount to anything and be a disappointment. How I wake up and face all these fears is a miracle to me. I'm surprised I don't have mental breakdowns and emotional problems (or do I).
Even Superman has a fears.
No one is indestructible.
So what's the trick to overcoming your fears? I wish you could tell you, more importantly I wish someone would tell me because that would make my life much easier. But for now I will just have to avoid walking under icicles, don't ride roller coasters and probably stop watching Happy Tree Friends.
So my advice about facing your fears is.......Good Luck.

Thinking
Think. Thinking. Thought. Thoughts. Everyone does it; maybe it's about school, family or work. But I'm thinking about you.
I'm thinking about you like
plants think about spring,
like chocolate thinks of chips,
like stars think about shining,
not like paper thinks of scissors,
like Black Widow thinks of Hawkeye,
like snow thinks of falling,
like microwaves thinks of warming up,
not like snails think of salt,
like pillows think of cases,
like printers think of ink,
like toilets think of flushing,
not like vampires think of sun,
like gorillas think of termites,
like Marlin thinks of Nemo,
like a seed thinks of growing,
not like Gollum thinks about the Ring,
like nerds think of Minecraft,
like Greek yogurt thinks of sugar,
like Rod thinks of Denise.
Everyone thinks, but I'm the only one thinking of you.

If I Was A Boat
If I was a boat,
what would I do?
what would I do?
Try to say afloat,
or go where the wind blew?
Be adventurous and free,
or docked and safe?
To be a little gutsy,
or have little faith?
Unfurl my white sail,
or fear to be open?
Worried I would fail,
or confident and hopin'?
Brave the rough seas,
or instead back down?
Use every breeze,
or stay on dry ground?
If I was a boat,
what would I do?
I would go to Peru.

Treasure Planet
I was watching Treasure Planet with my siblings and like the song choice in this scene.
I'm Still Here - Goo Goo Dolls
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment
That's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here
Chorus:
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
Chorus
They can't tell me who to be
Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies thatI'll never believe
Chorus
I'm the one now
Cause I'm still here
I'm the one
Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

Alive
Have you ever wondered if you were alive? If you weren't just some robot that went through the routine of going to school, work, etc. Who could only communicate through birds 'tweeting' or posting for everyone to see. I know I have wondered.
I have felt like Dominick Cobb from Inception who is constantly struggling to figure out what is real and what isn't. On my TV I have saved the world many times from war and apocalypses, I have battled for the fate of the galaxy and have saved countless lives. But am I really changing peoples lives? Am I really making a difference? This is what I ask myself and that's what wakes me up.
There are different ways that I feel alive: music, dancing, fishing, sports. The moment when I score a goal, hear my favorite song at a dance or catch a huge rainbow trout is all worth living for. Life has many opportunities, some that only appear once. Everyone should make the most of life and not waste it on something that beeps or clicks. Then, and only then, will you be alive.
Hello
Hello world!! My pen name is Johnny Lingo. I am just your average person who likes to think, imagine and dream. I am also full of hope that my dreams will come true. I hope that one day I will be married, learn to play guitar or that my parents will take me to Cafe Rio sometime soon. I believe that dreaming and hoping are essential to life; MLK and Walt Disney put it like this:
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope." - MLK
"All dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney
So I hope that you enjoy my blog and that you never stop hoping or dreaming.
