5 ways to get your little brother to stop annoying you:

#1 Bribe him. It is as simple as that.

#2 Do exactly what he is doing until he gets annoyed at you and stops. *Warning, do not make him angry enough for him to get you into trouble, that is not worth it.

3 Blackmail... okay okay I know it sounds a little  extreme, but don't tell me that you have never done it. We all have those days that you just want to be a tiny bit devious, and now I have come up with the perfect solution.

#4 Go on a run. I figured out that running lets you release all your anger and helps you drown your thoughts and worries in the foot steps of your past.

#5 Learn to deal with it. I know it seems like your friends' little brothers are perfect angels, and you got the annoying ones. I am sorry to break it to you but all little boys are the same, they are born to annoy. But with their great annoyance comes the abounding blessings of having little siblings. Little brothers are always there when you need a little smile, inside joke, or even a mud fight. They are there when you are having a bad day and just need to laugh. So you sit outside snuggling them in your lap, watching their bright red Popsicle melt down the edge of their chin. In reality it is your perspective that needs to change. They will never be annoying to you unless you let them; so enjoy every moment you have with them and cherish the memories.

Traveling has always been a passion of mine. I love the lurching in my stomach when you take off and land on the runway. The thrill spikes my interest in the world around me. The first step off the plane is the most memorizing, you glide off with all the excitement and bounce in your step and you look around you, take a deep breath, and think, "I am finally here and it is much more remarkable than I ever thought it would be."

To get more involved online I would post pictures and little tips and fun facts about the place I have been to help readers understand and enjoy the culture.

From the wise words of Dr.Suess

"When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do...
just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!"
-Dr.Suess

The real competition

"The best way to beat competition is to compete aginst yourself."
-Julian Hall
Is this not one of the truest quotes? I have noticed that in sports, music, or whatever you are compeating in when you really start to get competative against other people you end up saying or doing not nice things in order to try to reach the top, which you only regret in the end. If you only compete with yourself the only person that can get harmed is you.
