Run Away

Planet Earth, 149,000,000 km² covered by land, 361,000,000 km² covered by water and approximately 7,560,000,000 people living on it. How much land have you covered? How many seas have you seen? How many people have you met? But none of these is the question that should be asked. Ask yourself "How many times do I live?".


Just one tiny life on this planet and what do we do? Chase money.

Ever heard of the place Kauai? Probably not.

Kauai is a small island and is a part of the Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of these islands and the 21st largest island in the United States.











This island has its origins from volcanoes and is nearly six million years old!

Kauaʻi is home to thousands of wild chickens, or moa in Hawaiian, who have few natural predators, as the mongoose was never introduced in Kauaʻi as it has been on other Hawaiian islands. Kauaʻi's chickens originated from the original Polynesian settlers, who brought them as a food source. They have since bred with European chickens that have gotten free from farms and cockfighting breeders.
The Kauaʻi Heritage Center of Hawaiʻian Culture and the Arts was founded in 1998. Their mission is to nurture a greater sense of appreciation and respect for the Hawaiʻian culture. They offer classes in Hawaiʻian language, hula, lei and cordage making, the lunar calendar and chanting, plus trips to cultural sites.

The island of Kauaʻi has been featured in more than seventy Hollywood movies and television shows, including the musical South Pacific and Disney's 2002 animated feature filmLilo & Stitch along with its franchise's three sequel films (2003's Stitch! The Movie, 2005's Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, and 2006's Leroy & Stitch) and first television series(Lilo & Stitch: The Series). Scenes from South Pacific were filmed in the vicinity of Hanalei. Waimea Canyon was used in the filming of the 1993 film Jurassic Park. Parts of the island were also used for the opening scenes of the Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Other movies filmed here include Six Days Seven Nights, the 1976 version King Kong and John Ford's 1963 film Donovan's Reef. Recent films include Tropic Thunder and a biopic of Bethany Hamilton titled Soul Surfer. A scene in the opening credits of popular TV show M*A*S*H was filmed in Kauaʻi (helicopter flying over mountaintop). Some scenes from Just Go with It, George of the Jungle and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides were also filmed in Kauaʻi. A Perfect Getaway is set in Kauaʻi.

Find some time off, travel here, enjoy life!

Wait... What did you just think?

Put your thinking caps on! Let's travel a few years (I mean, a lot of years!) into the future. You walk out of your house, breathing in the aroma of freshly cut grass in the morning. You happen to see this girl jogging down the lane. Naturally, every boy's first thought (I repeat, just think!) "Woah, she's hot!". The girl stops jogging, turns to you, comes up and *bam* slaps you right in the face! Wait, what? That's impossible!  Yeah, it is.. Or is it? Just imagine, every person having the ability to read minds. Kinda creepy! We wouldn't be able to live like we did, we wouldn't be able to think like we did, we won't be able to set our imagination free! But on the fun side, you wouldn't have to whisper to someone; just think about what you want to tell them and Voila! But just imagine your family knowing about all your dirty thoughts, imagine your wife knowing about your fantasy with that woman from work and most importantly, imagi

The Red Rose

The meadows uptown borne a single plant That longed to grow a flower. When to all others, God did grant, That single plant never flowered. He looked at the others and said to himself "Maybe I was supposed to end up this way". And withered turned his heart with him The once green leaves turned to look like hay. But one morning, the plant woke up to see A bud in his hand, his leaves all green. He knew not what it'd turn out to be Nor did he know his joy would cease. The bright red, the beauty best Woke the plant the next day. For the bud in his hand turned the rest To a shame, a red rose she'd turned A red, oh so red, lovely rose. The truth of life nor the pain of dead He knew not of anyone of these devils. He said "I have her in my hand And forever I will keep her in my fable." Days went by and months rolled along The lovely pair seemed not to worry about the time go by. The rumbling of death not away long Was nothing to be be afraid o

How did January become January?

Ever look at the calendar and wondered " What on earth are the meanings of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November or December? " No? Okay, I did though! And thanks to the vast oceans of the internet, I've found the   real meanings of these month-names.  First of all, FUN FACT: January wasn't actually the first month of the year! In the system of the ancient Romans, the year began in March and ended in February. March Mars, the Roman God of War The ancient Romans insisted that all wars should stop during the time of celebration between the old and new years(What a fun time, it would have been!). Since March was the first month of the new year in ancient Rome, some historians believe the Romans named March after Mars, the Roman god of war (Get it? March, Mars... No? Me too.) April Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty (DeviantArt) Three theories exist regarding the origin of April's name. Some say
