For the conference, I will also try to make Vlogs on my Youtube account. Even if you don't want to listen to what I have to say, I will try to put the most scenic shots and pictures within the videos.

I will probably post to SMART Youth's account before hand, so if you want the premiere footage:

Check them out either way!

International AIDS Conference 2010
I will be attending the XVIII International AIDS Conference of 2010 in Vienna, Austria!
I leave today, July 14, and won't be back in the states until the 23rd.
I hope to make a lot of connections, especially with youth and will try to keep this updated and posted in order for me to remember my thoughts and experiences at the moment, and to share with the world this wonderful opportunity I have been given! :)
I would like to thank:
UNAIDS (!!!!), this organization has helped me more than enough and keeps helping me! THANK YOU!!!!
AIDS2031, I wouldn't be flying there if it weren't for this organization, and they will keep me occupied with helping to assist their videographer, and I am genuinely excited about this! I love FILM! :D
Global AIDS Alliance
SMART University, SMART Youth (I would have no reason to attend this conference without SMART Youth in mind!)
My family (duh), Mom! (of course), and GRANDMA!!!, she has been so supportive emotionally and financially :D
I can't wait!
I am thinking great optimistic thoughts and I WILL get the most out of this conference no matter what!

Read Me
So I've been trying to figure out what I should direct this blog towards.
What do people care about, what will make people read this, and how will it change their lives for the better.
I'm still not too sure, but I think I need to do one of those structural challenges, like in Julie and Julia. :)
But... Not Really.
Maybe just put people into my life, I think my living environment and mind is kind of interesting...
But... How can I make people actually learn from my living experiences?
I guess I kind of want something a little disorderly, but something inside me wants it to have a focus.
But I don't want limitations, since I have enough of those with living.
It'll go where it goes then?
-Maybe some movie reviews, music reviews, book reviews, reviews in general.
-interviews, life experiences, disclosure (?)
-blogging about Vienna (if this actually happens...)
-Why is it called Pure Mutt? Maybe I should set that up a bit more... unless it's just me and identity...
-Identity as a theme? hmmm
-Engaging blogs...? like video blogs but not...? (lead for Vlog channel? hmmm)
Well... Just had to set that up so I don't forget, and make sure to keep it updated.

Paths of Life
The Uncertainty about Which Path to Take is Scaring Me.
I'm Questioning, Who am I Living For?
Things have been getting complex, and complicated.
There's no right or wrong anymore, there's just a wait and see.
While I am a patient person, I still don't know what I need to do, or what way I should go for the different wait and see situations.
I don't know what consequences will happen if I continue, or even start on one path,
and I don't know if sacrificing my own happiness just for a certain path is the right decision.
Right and Wrong has always been easy.
At a time where Right and Wrong doesn't exist,
just new, and unknown...
I'm unclear on how to handle this out of control situation.
I have no way to see, or assess, or weigh the pros and cons.
I need someone to show me the future for both paths, and then I can determine which is, again,
Right or Wrong.
Things are changing quickly, Right before my eyes.
There's nothing Wrong with that.
But I need to take the time to adapt. I can adapt, I'm good at that too.
Adapting, Right and Wrong.
Non one filled me in, and I feel like things are happening around me as if I missed something;
as if I did something Wrong.
I just don't know anymore, and I like knowing.
I need to know what I should do,
What will benefit me, what will keep me happy, what do I have to do, where should I go,
who am I living for, what am I living for, is all the fuss worth the outcome?
This isn't a suicide note, I Want To Live.
I just need some communication, and clarification.
Someone give me Clarity.
What is my direction.
Give me community, as I grapple with the basic question here:
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
(Only time will show...)

Reconnecting
Hey!
So I kind of didn't keep up with this blogging stuff...
But I plan on getting into it in order to keep my own mind and stuff organized.
I've been writing by hand more often... (along with cooking, baking, reading, watching movies, and... stuff)
I know no one really reads this (XD)
But I hope that I can change that by intriguing people to actually get inside my head if they follow this blog. (Or atleast learn something new each day...)
Facebook is way too public... and with the lack of people who know of this personal page, I can post up more "intellectual" or "random" or "creepy" thoughts...
Whatever comes to mind I guess.
Another goal to my list. :)
