Blog-a-versary : Whew!

Since today is my blog-a-versary and almost 2011, I present some of my favorite quotes from 

some of my favorites posts in 2010. 

I guess I'll make this chrono-ma-logical....

January 10, 2010 A Day of Change  - I talk about change:  

"how one minute you can be one way, and then the next something crazy can happen which will turn your life upside down.or how you can feel one way for a long time, but then feel the opposite outta the blue."


 January 26, 2010 Walking - Yeah this gets real deep. About walking:
 

"I began notice that other people around me were walking to places, also. And I started to think about people in the world who were walking also. And I started to think about how maybe some people were walking long distances or even short distances, or some people were walking trying to find food or water, others walking because they were lost and had no clue where they were going."

 February 10, 2010  Stereotypes Omg I was real serious about stuff. Love it:

"But I do know I will forever be a black man.and I have to realize I'm different, I'm gonna be viewed as different, different things are going to be expected of me just because I'm a black male. and that will affect all aspects of my life. and it's something I gotta deal with.......FOREVER..."

 February 11, 2010 Decisions. I find this post still relevant today, because I still having to make tough decisions about life:

"so this I pray
until my dying-day,
Lord, Please help me make a decision,
about anything, show me what I am to do.
Cuz I really have no clue,
and you know what's best for me,
and you know what lies ahead for me."

March 24, 2010 A Day at the Dentist. People talking to me at the dentist office. I do not like.

"the first person, a woman, was talking on her phone all loud and stuff (i ain't wanna hear that),
and then she got off and was like "I don't like when people talk on their cellphones all loud..blah blah blah.. sorry..yada yada"
"B!%^#, I don't know your life!"   "

April 14, 2010 Woke up this morning.  This is funny, I still feel the same way about school.

"but i actually I woke up this morning,
and my first thought,
I quit [school].
I really freakin hate school, despise classes and  its evil step-daughter work.
If school was a person I would literally stab it in the heart a million times, watch it die slowly......
and then laugh hysterically ......yes....."

 May 9, 2010 Get's no love from me. Poem to/about my this blog. Greatness.

"Wow, blog!
you get's not love from me.
i've been spending time with other blogs
watching movies, youtube, and glee
but blog you get no love from me.

I remember when  I first began you
I had so much to say
I wanted to let the world know everything
sometimes I posted three times a day

But as time went on
and homework, school began
i had other things to do
writing a post in the plan ......."



June 6, 2010 Simply Updating. Career Backup Plans. Enough said.

Career Backup Plans
1. my elaborate plan to move to the U.K. for 10yrs gain a British accent, come back to the states open up a bar and D.J.
2. CTA bus/train driver
3. Backup Dancer
4. Run for Vice President w/ Kira (La)Frank for Prez.

Sept 29, 2010 Definitely should update now. Post on crack. or maybe I was on crack. Who knows?

"but this is why I like to have a blog because sometimes I can be serious and sometimes I can be completely way outta on left field not paying attention to the person at bat, cuz I was trying to get some peanuts and cracker jacks, but all the peanuts were salty when I don't even like salty peanuts and I just didn't want them and the guy was arguing with me, "how could you not like salty peanuts, what are you, not American?!" and I said actually I'm Asian. (wait, I think my analogy got lost somewhere). "

Yeah. Hope you enjoys.

Walking

I know this a really random subject, but this is what this blog is about I guess.
But this morning I was walking to class (yes I said morning 9:30 to be exact). And as I felt my body in that forward motion type movement, taking step after step, I started thinking about walking.



I began notice that other people around me were walking to places, also. And I started to think about people in the world who were walking also. And I started to think about how maybe some people were walking long distances or even short distances, or some people were walking trying to find food or water, others walking because they were lost and had no clue where they were going.

And then putting things in perspective, in the realm of all the people walking in the world simultaneously, I started to think how I was walking such as short distance, going to a almost meaningless event: class.

But then I thought how some people couldn't even walk, and some people were driving, or running. And I just  thought about how people travel and we all hustle and bustle to get to places that we find important to us.

And then I started to think about how we learn to walk at a very young age, and yet it is so influential in our daily lives, and some times you just don't think about walking, because it just something that you natural do.

I don't know why I thought about walking, but sometimes it feels good to walk, especially when you're happy. But other times, like when I'm tired, I don't want to walk at all. But walking just always gives this image of moving forward, it kinda like directly linked with  the concept of time, always moving forward.

so yeah, really random post, and just something to think about. so next time you're walking, think about walking and maybe the journey you're taking may not be as bad as thought or even as important.

Man, I'm too deep, sometimes I think I'm drowning in my own thoughts.

A Day of Change...

no, I didn't do anything drastic like cut off all my hair.
but today, just had me thinking alot about change


how one minute you can be one way, and then the next something crazy
can happen which will turn your life upside down.
or how you can feel one way for a long time, but then feel the opposite outta the blue.

it's funny cuz everything changes:
weather, sky, time, LIFE, etc.
I think life is all about changes, all about movement
I mean very few things are static.
And even the things we think won't change, do.

but then why are we scared of change, when things around us are changing all time,
if that's what life about, why be scared?. And the funny thing about change,
is you have no control over it. yes you can change things, but the change that really affects
is the kind that runs freely. The kind that just disrupts the routine.

Things must change. That's just the way it is.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Really Random Randoms

yeha.
so I don't know what to update about.
I just wanted to update, cuz sometimes I fill the need to type my thoughts out
hence the creation of this blog. ummmmmmmm

yeha.
I did finally see Slumdog Millionaire,

which was a very good film. Like I saw why people enjoyed, very entertaining. yeha..........................

I realized something today, I love taking showers ( I know random right).

It's something about the solidarity, it's a place I know I can go to think about things. I think I actually get alot thinking (whatever that means) done in the shower. Showers just make me feel clean (duh dumbass), its something about standing there naked, alone. it just takes me back to the core (of an apple?). It's like I am who I am in that shower, nothing can be changed, covered up. And the water rinses all the dirt of yesterday: mistakes and such and makes me all clean for a brand new day (whoa this is really awkward....sorry) (wait, not really). yeha so I like showers.

anything else?

Whitney Houston is awesome. And so is this song.


cuz my name ain't Susan.

now, you get a random picture or something like that...



if only my birthday was something like this...

End of Summer Self-Evaluation

Seeing as my summer is coming to a close in less than a week (omg!).

I thought it would be interesting to see if I completed any of my summer goals.

Don't remember what goals I'm speaking of? click here (awesome poem here btw)

1. Hanging out of course... (with friends, family,myself, chillin on the couch all day, 'running' (i use that term loosely) outside, smelling the roses)

2. Get my L's (long overdue, like REALLY)

3. Get a job or something that gets me money (& not selling drugs, cuz i tried that last summer and it was terrible..i almost got arrested...... haha jk)

4. Not thinking about school & such until 3 weeks before I leave....

that's my plan(s), probably won't stick to them that much we'll see.. i guess....

well it looks like I accomplished 1 & 4, but not 2& 3 = 50% which is an F, for all you educational people out there. so this makes me a failure right? NO! (i'm trying to make myself feel betta, but its actually true!)

even though this summer basically was like ever other one I've had for the past 20 (or 19?) years,

I did accomplished some things

1. I cooked alot more, which made me feel I'll be alright on my own, like I don't need other people to cook for me.

2. I downloaded tons of songs (including tons of gospel, neo soul, and broadway type), which I am so happy I did.

3. Along with those songs, my love for singing has increased.

4. I've gotten like tons of sermons and such (my pastor is amazing) which therefore has strengthened my relationship with God.

5. Oh, and this blog, I've really, REALLY established it, in my mind as something I'll continue as long as I can (probably till I graduate)...

so as you can see (or read)....my goals were in total 4, but I accomplished 5 unexpected things(5 > 4, which should actually be 7 more so 6.5 > 2 cuz I accomplished 2 of my goals) but you know it was a good summer. I enjoyed myself, and I am so ready to head back to E-town & NU, and I'm bracing myself for this upcoming year & what God has in store for me.

should be interesting....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Cleaning out my closet......

I Cleant (<-- is that a word?) my room, (my mom was making everyone throw stuff away that we're not using anymore...which kinda annoyed me...)
good thing I found interesting things in my closet and such:

old story i'd written in 7th grade "my brand new home": it was about me (well not me but a character, who was essentially me. I didn't give the character a name which make me even more conclude that it was supposed to represent me). and the character moves to a city called burbank and is scared about moving to a new place basically (he has dreams where everyone in burbank are monsters, idk). it was kool to just read a story I had written, no matter the blatant grammatical errors and weird writing.

It just got me thinking (here's the teacher in me analzying the student) about myself. Like why would I write a story like this, like certain parts were defintely me, but other's weren't, was that what I wanted to be. i'm not really sure. Junior high is all a blur I guess....

Bop it extreme, remote possibilities: it's like looking at an old picture. these game brought up memories of just fun with my family. And how I have so many games i don't play with anymore.


box of cards called history of america: bascially it like a box of cards (duh). with different topics about American history. It Ranges from wars, entertainment, people, places. And I think this was just example of how I wanted to learn things at a young age. It also shows why I know so much random stuff day. I know It's not a total miracle that I'm a genius (so people say). Like there was things that defintely propelled me.

As you can see, finding this things in my closet & elsewhere, just got me thinking about my childhood (and how freaking old I am!). I mean I had a good one, and I'm thankful for it.
yeha......memories......

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Random Tidbits and such...

"The Invisible Man"

Pics from Damn Cool Pics. Check out the original post here. Totally amazing how good some of these are.
This is kool cuz I was totally thinking about this a couple of days ago. Like how hard would it be to have something that'll make you invisible. Like each and every one of your particles will have to be unseen by human eye, would you have to genetically change stuff?...idk how that would work?
(Reason for this thought: I think my brother was watching that Muppets in Space movie, and there's this part where the muppets become invisible, and it got me thinking about it. ) anywayz check out the pics.

(there's more, but you should check out the post, cuz I didn't want to post them all)

VBS Updation

Today was pretty much the last day of VBS, the last day of teaching. Tommorrow, Friday, every class does a presentation, and that's about it. It was pretty good today. I was actually getting really used to it. I can say I really enjoyed myself this week. I was expecting it to be very hard, and just tiring and down right boring. But you know it was good. I just kinda wish we could've got more people to come. But it is what it is. God got it all in control.

Next week, I'm just gonna be so bored, well probably not. I can say it'll probably be uneventful, but you know you never know. If it is you'll know and if it's not you'll know so don't worry about that...

==========================================================

No BB update, didn't see it tonight of course becuz of VBS, updation on it tomm....
