we are all heroes...

so i was watching this show heroes online on the nbc website because i wanted to catch up on it because that was the last show i saw last time i was in chicago, and damn this show is so exciting so much variety in different heroes and different personalities and different racial backgrounds. its so cool to see this show and how the characters develop. but even more it shows that people today can also be heroes and not just be a regular person, we can all rise above and become that so called "greater" person and help others out and maybe even help contribute to the future. a hero is in everyone of us but which hero will you be? what powers would you have? and would you use it for self pleasure or help others out? i am still trying to find that hero in me..

damn only 10 days left..

10 days until i see all my friends back in the chi..will it be an awkward hello? or will the relationships start back up again? dont you hate it when you are gone for a while and everyone has their little inside jokes and little things that they do that made sense to only them, and you would feel like what? what does that mean? and you would feel all left out...i hope that shit doesnt happen, will everything back home be the same? i can only wait and see, all i know is that the holiday season is here and by living in las vegas i really dont appreciate it much because of the lack of snow, for some reason snow makes it feel more like christmas..i dont know how people can deal with a non-white christmas thats ludicrous i tells you!..

back back to cali cali =]

drumline and stuff

So I got this test in my animal physiology class and it just hit me that I study/practice more drum stuff on my drum pad then actually studying...i wish i could just drop out of school and pick up drums full time...but thats pretty much a hit or miss..i also wish that i had joined marching band in high school and work at that and then maybe go to a kick ass college with scholarship but i never wanted to think ahead..a lot of what ifs in life...i think its time for the what ifs to stop and start doing the steps to start becoming.

also i gotta get this off my chest, i was out camping out and chilling with a couple buddies that i met over here super cool dudes over here in vegas and when i got to the campout some kids in line took a good look at my sea crystal SB dunks and said, "damn what did he do to those" i mean come on now SBs are meant for skating, so why buy SBs to just hate on people who actually put them to good use, fashion today is going downhill when i look at it, i mean it is no longer a statement, its just who has nicer limited shit then the next person, no one gets it for the love of it or if they like it or not, fashion should be meant to express ones feelings or show the public what they are like, not put off the yeah i got limited shit and you dont facade. if you like the shit then buy it, dont hate on the next person who rocks SBs that are beat from skating, or someone rocking general released shit, its not even about making a statement anymore its all about showing off to other dudes and that makes no sense at all to me...but whatever if thats how they are then so be it..

but yeah i ate at this dope ass spot that Pat, Louie, and Akon took me to called tea planet, shit was good as hell! good ass boba and food damn i got that itis too, thanks fellas for that good ass food...must go there again sometime thanks..

my deepest fear...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-by marianne williamson

this excerpt from a book called "Return to Love: A Course in Miracles" written by marianne williamson and also seen in the above movie called Coach Carter, is personally very inspirational and powerful to me. being the youngest in my family i feel that my deepest fear is being inadequate also, but its not that. i believe that i can be more than what i can be if i put my mind and soul into it, its just that i am too scared to take that next step to the next level of my life. fear is what makes me inadequate, it makes me feel that i am limited in my abilities but in fact I/we have all the abilities in the world to make something of ourselves we are just either too scared or we dont do it because in actuality we believe that people would judge us and we wouldnt want that because of our image or reputation, but the truth is that we are all the same person and that we are all capable of doing what we want to do its just up to ourselves to determine the outcome.

basketball..amazement

so i was playing basketball again..and boy was i getting into it..doing buncha shooting and dribbling and getting my timing down again...its so hard to get that timing again..but practice makes perfect...its so hard not to cheat on skating but basketball is looking really tempting right now as if to say i am hungry and i see a plate of carbohydrates, thats how tempting it is..its even more tempting after watching this bad boy video of my main man mike
