Days of our lives

: Hip-hop song of the day: They Reminisce Over You - Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Never been senile, that's where you're wrong, but give a man a taste and he's gone."
: Honorable mention (because it's playing on my iTunes ;p): The Instrumental - Lupe Fiasco

"It's better when something is wrong, you get excitement in your bones, and everything you do's a gane" I started to like this song more (Right As Rain) when some girl sang it at an open mic Thursday night (last week), which I didn't get to perform at unfortunately.
Speaking of Adele, she has a beautiful and creative voice. A friend of mine really reminded me how appreciative of music I am. I've been listening to hip-hop and good ol' r&b since I was elementary, poppin' those cassettes in my tape player, I can truly say music has co-lived with me throughout my life. I started out with a Bone Thugs tape "Days of our Lives" and the Backstreet Boys CD, haha it was great. From getting into my own rhymes, deciphering intellectual hip-hop verses, admiring influential musicians and just singing along with passionate jams for the soul, I can say I'm thankful for music to be a piece of my backbone.

On another note--
Sometimes, don't you ever just catch yourself in a trance, zoned out, staring right through the world, and just kinda forgetting what your dreams really are? I do. I've been stuck in reality for a little too long, busy doing what I lust and not much of what I love, which is still faint in me. I'm not mad, but hey, what gives the greatest motivation, and drive? Is it what we love to do--the thrill at the moment, or the thrill that will come later on after all this hard work? I can say I enjoy what I do but so much of it is a challenge, that I just keep going. It will all pay off in the future. What do I really love? Currently, my only goal is to make my family happy, and I hope I'm doing well. For now I think I'll just pick up whatever comes along the way, because some of my dreams are already forgotten down the broken boulevard, but it's a cycle I guess.



And words of wisdom for the day..
I don't belong in this world. The world belongs to ME! 8) :)

It's time to swallow my pride, let it ride maybe, and accept the fact that

I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't know where I'm going.

Dear Summer

"Have the whole world saying "How you still so good?"
Well I do this in my slumber summer
I ain't none of these half-assed newcomers, you know how I do summer
I drop heat, when you bring the sun up"
- Jigga

Time to spice things up 'til spring comes out, flings come out, the sun comes out, and that's when the fun comes out.. haha.

The weekend was quite enjoyable for me. When I got home, I got dropped off at my high school. There were lots of people, my little brother participated in the wrestling tournament there. I caught up with plenty friends I haven't talked to in a while, friends that were old friends, friends of friends, ex lovers, acquaintances whatever. Later on I went to Borders again to pick up a book to read. For some odd reason, it was my friend who brought up the idea, but I gladly accepted because I made us all go last time.

Saturday I hung out with my friends again, went to Oakland to eat pho, only to come home with my momma making some. So I ate 2 more bowls of pho that same day. We watched the wrestling tournament again. Later on I went to my house to chill and talk to my friend on the phone who was feeling down. I remember those days, helping so much emo people out with their lives, haha, great feeling uplifting others' moods.

This week is going to be a different week for me. The good thing is, midterms are over, the bad thing is, I messed up on a few midterms. There goes my 3.0+.
But yea, a lot of meetings this week. Like 5. Well at least I'm getting paid for them. So far I have 5 work hours done from last week, and this week I will do about 12 hours.

Time to study up. Stats is killing me. I'm going to have to get an A or B on the final to pass the class. The right time to start studying things would be now.
Lots of math hw.. luckily it's due Wednesday, but I'll start it tonight. I can't half-ass the homework either, because I'm trying to learn all this math to get into calculus.
