unemployed .

I envy everyone who has one. It is so hard to get one it's ridiculous, but I guess it's worth it once you get it.

King of Pop

Rest In Peace
Michael Jackson August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

Hard to believe, I was just watching Black to the Future on VH1 a documentary on the black culture during the 1980's and the Jackson 5 was on there, today. It's hard to believe he's gone. I know recently, I wasn't one of his biggest fans but I was when I was kid. I remember my mom bought this Michael Jackson Greatest Hit's VHS and my siblings and I watched it. Yeah I remember getting scared when the Thriller music video came up. Me and my brother and a few cousins last watched the tape sometime around Christmas last year, despite what people say about him now, we were saying good things about him. Joel liking the way he danced, me &my brother saying that learning his dance moves wasn't easy and Daniel made up a Michael Jackson move himself. His legacy will be with us, always.

time .

I cannot believe how much time is wasted on putting on makeup, daily. I mean it's okay for special occasions, but for every single time you go out the house it takes hours for a person to get ready, that's too much. Honestly it probably takes me like 25 minutes at the most to get ready, without distractions &that includes straightening, I guess?

The 24th was a decent day, I went out by myself to apply for a job then I spent time at the cemetery to visit my grandpa &then thrift storeeeeeee. Found a new things, but yeah since Grace left her house when I was calling her, we were suppose to go shop together but she sucks and then she calls me when I get back home, can you say bad timing? haha.

So Shaq becoming a Cavalier? Hmph, doesn't really scare me cause he is not that much of a threat even with Lebron. Don't get me wrong, he's a really good player or at least was but he can't even play back to back games so yeah. Clevland's front court will be pretty slow, with Shaq &Ilguaskas. Hmm, the NBA 2009 Draft is tomorrow, wonder how that's going to go down. Sounds like a perfect time to bet mochi on who's going to pick who *ahemmmm hahahaha.

This is why I like cleaning so much.

Shine .

"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..."

- Marianne Williamson

I think that Williamson is trying to portray is that everyone is special &important because we are all created by the same person, God. So nobody is better than anyone else, and that nobody has the right to bring another person down. She's also saying that we all have our own thing, that makes us different from everyone else and that is what makes us our own person.

I have been meaning to blog about these words for awhile now, since March or something, but I just didn't have the time to do so and Now that it's summer and all, I finally did it &this made me realize that I miss school, I guess...

take my hand.

A day at the park with the side of the family that I see all the time, but don't really hang out with them. I enjoy when we have those parties, haha because they're a smaller group and we usually hang out all together no small groups. &now I'm one step closer to actually being pro at the waveboard.

the things you say ...

"That's when you start messing up, when you put too much pressure on yourself."

- Trevor Ariza

One thing most people do after the final buzzer goes off when watching an NBA basketball game is turn the tv off or change the channel. Only a few like myself and my cousin Harvey actually keep it on, to watch the interviews, press conferences &replays. I mean just cause they are athletes doesn't mean they don't say interesting things. I've heard some really nice quotes from NBA players, especially Trevor Ariza haha, but seriously others and not just from Kobe, Dwight; it's just cause I've pretty much only heard them recently, I've heard from other NBA players that aren't all stars I'm too lazy to remember who I've watched haha.

I always write down good quotes when I hear them. Recently I have written a few down and from the quotes I've been hearing they motivate me to get to where i want to be(:
