Well, considering that I haven't wrote one of these yet I'm going to write one of those "about me" blogs. Get ready for the biggest thrill of your life...HA!
Well, my name is Samantha Magdalena Barba. I live in the coolest town ever--NOT. I live in Soledad, California. It may be boring, but in reality its all I know. I'm 16, soon to be 17, and I'm a smart ass. Really, I am. I'm more stubborn than a mule; but I have ethics that, sometimes, surprise even me.
I'm your typical everyday teenager...well for the most part. I like talking on the phone, going for walks, being with friends, and all that jazz.
Well, thats all on the surface of course. But inside of me, I have this inferno flame of passion burning with feelings that have the intensity of a million suns... or NOT. I'm a drama geek (hence the last sentence) and a band geek. Band is MY LIFE. I breathe, sleep, eat, and poop BAND. Well not band, but music.
The morals that I hold have been with me since the day of time, or ones that I've recently adopted. I'm vegan. I'm straight edge. Family&friends mean more to me than ME.
My choice of being vegan all reflects off of the compassion in my heart and the longing for change. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you must think that I'm one of those hippies who fight for world peace and do all that other hippie crap. But I'm not. In fact, all I want is animal rights and for people to be more educated about where there food, clothing, entertainment, and treatments are coming from and what it endured to be where it is now. I never impose my thoughts; all I do is educate.
I'm straight edge because of various reasons. I've been through tough times and the skeletons in my closet are there to prove it. I love my family and friends more than you can imagine, and by me doing all that hooplah with drugs and alcohol, I know its just hurting them. I wake up each morning knowing that my day will be a day well lived out, without a crutch.
Once I was asked, "what WOULD you do without your family". A simple question was turned into one of the most complex. Because honestly, what would I do. I would die. Point blank. Either literally or metaphorically. My family is my crutch. My foundation. My everything. Love doesn't explain it, and no other word ever will. And friends fall into this category too.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. Cause and effect pattern. When something doesn't go my way, I know that it was for the better. Positive thinking.
I always get all mumbled jumbled when I'm asked to write about myself...because I never know what else to write. I mean, sure, I got the whole vegan, straightedge, family thing down. But what else? What else is there to Samantha Magdalena Barba? I know there's more. But I just can't find it, hopefully someday I will. And this is what motivates me to live. The unknown secrets of tomorrow, the not knowing if tomorrow even exists! Everyday is a new day, and tomorrow or yesterday are not my worries.
For now, that is all. Notice how I said "for now" :D
