R.I.P - Sebastian Michaelis

Recently a freind of mine committed suicide. This is just a (R.I.P) Section where people can pay their respects. So if you're reading this please feel free to pay your respects, in a comment or in person.



Sebastian is and always will be a loving and kind-hearted 18 year-old, who is funny, comedic, and has a Great sense of humor. Sebastian has a passion for all things goth. He will always be cherished by the people who knew him well.
Sebastian will be remembered in our hearts; the love that he shared to his family and friends will never be forgotten because he had shared his heart for those who have been around him. He loved so many things including his beloved lighter, posters and his Final Fantasy video games, but most of all the people he cared for.
To those around him can say that he is a great friend, son, brother, cousin, grandson. And he will be missed dearly.

5 Things I'll do to go Green

1. Use the water that's left over from washing or steaming vegetables, cooking pasta, or boiling eggs to water indoor plants once it cools.

2. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth and shave and you'll save as much as 3,000 gallons per year.

3. Wash only full loads in the laundry machine and dishwasher.

4. When you're shopping for a new computer, keep in mind that a laptop uses much less energy than a desktop model.

5. Skip the dryer and hang your clothes on a clothesline or drying rack to save both energy and wear and tear on fabrics.


In order to go green I would follow these rules and ideas to keep it cleaner, and safer for the environment in general.

Be the change you wish to see in the world

To me this statement means that if people want to change the world, they will have to be the change they are looking for. It means that to change the world, one can't just sit back and watch, hoping for something to happen, but to rise above the rest, and change it themselves. I agree with this statement though, because I was raised to think that if somethings gotta change or get done, then you would have to do it yourself. This statement is not only true, but also slightly touching. Due to the fact that I recently found that I can't depend on many of my so called "friends", I found that if I were to change something, depending on someone (in my case anyway) is something that is not a choice, in any way.

Bullying Interview

This video slightly angered me. How could a person be so heartless as to ignore the fact that they are driving a person to suicide because of their bullying. But, what I still don't fully understand is why anyone would look by the fact that you are driving a person insane. I have always thought that bullying was just wrong, but this only strengthens my outlook.
