Dashboard Confessions

2006-05-01T13:47:00.000-07:00

This post is long overdue. The best word to describe my situation right now is chaos. I've put myself in bad positions this entire semester that has lead me to my evident doom. But like they say it ain't over til the fat lady sings. One week left to decide my fate in the program. But maybe it's my fate to fail in this endeavor, to only succeed in another. Life has multiple paths that lead us to find the road we are all so desperately looking for. Sometimes getting on the highway won't save time because there is a crash causing traffic impeding us to our destination. Shortcuts aren't always the solution to get somewhere quicker either. It all depends on the how the lights turn. Wherever you plan on going, you have a full tank of gas to get there. But always remember that, when you feel like your fuel is getting low; you can always pull over and fill the tank back up. The only thing that keeps is from our destination, is ourselves.

If you think that's all in the repertoire, think again...

Oh yeah, new playlist by the way. I swear sometimes I feel like I should become a DJ. Just click on the first song if it doesn't automatically play.

Be Water

2006-02-15T09:09:00.000-08:00

If you pour water in a cup, it takes the shape of a cup. If you pour it in a teapot, it takes the shape of a teapot. Be fluid. Treat each situation differently. The best style is to have no style because styles can be figured out. And when you have no style, they can't figure you out.

Dear Love,

2006-02-13T10:41:00.000-08:00

So many things I wanna tell you. Why do you play the games you do? Why are you around when I don't want you to be and not there when I need you to be? I hate the fact that I have no idea who you are but I feel like I've known you my entire life. How can you be so kind and so gentle, then turn and be so cold? Yet, still there's something about you that has my attention and keeps me longing for whenever you come around. Even if you make me feel like the smallest person in the world, I let my heart take its chances just to be with you again. Even when I'm not thinking of you, I feel like subconsciously I'm searching for when we will meet again. It's been 2 years since I last spoke your name. Why should I trust that you won't lead me array like before? Everything I do, I do it for you but through all the ups and downs you expect me to have faith in you. Maybe this time around you'll realize that what is it today may not be guaranteed tomorrow. Life's too short to wish for second chances so take advantage of them whenever they come around.

Im @ The Trump International Ask For Me

2006-01-30T21:28:00.000-08:00

Can't go International without your passport. Dont get left behind the velvet ropes. Man, the life of being an A-lister. Not to mention that I came to the spot looking extra fly Saturday night. I touched the sky alright. And so thought the fashion editor of The Dallas Morning News. He called yours truly and asked if he could publish the photograph his photographer took of me for his editorial on P.E.G. Drum roll please. And the winner for best dressed is...haha and if you dont believe me just jump and ask produca yourself.

NYC Recap

2006-01-14T11:06:00.000-08:00

New York was cray-z. From the moment I stepped off the plane, my nostrils flared as I got a whiff of the NY air. That smell brought back so many memories. Anyone who's ever been to NY knows what I'm talking about and there's no where else in the world that smells like it. Fam was good. Everyone was on the grind while I was there so there was no opportunity to enjoi the city lifestyle.

I still got to go to Madison Square Garden to watch the Knicks take on my Mavs. Knicks edged them out in OT, but Big D will make it further in the playoffs. Luckily my c.s.c homie Jen was there and took me out to Suede bar. Drinks cost a grip though. Fun times w/ Jen and her peeps until I lost my beloved Imate Jam. I couldn't believe that I lost it. My world came to an end and my night was over. The crew went to China town to get grub as I miserably went home saying to myself that it couldn't get any worse. Then I spoke to soon. I was so drunk from Suede that i passed out on the N train. I woke up to a cool ocean breeze and two homeless people on both sides of me as the train was parked at the station. I went outside and saw the coast and said to myself "what the fu*%." I look at the MTA map and saw that I was in fu^*ing Coney Island. I finally made it home and was glad when that night was over.

Next Day, my stress level went to 11 as I mourned over my phone. I knew there was only one thing, more like three things, but only one place that could heal my previous loss. So, off to SOHO I went on my journey, 91 Greene St. to be exact to satisfy my fashion hunger. I promised that I wouldn't dissapoint and trust me I kept my promise. After that I went to The Coffee Shop by 14th Street to have a Red Devil and then to Dragonfly for some Sisig, Crispy Pata, Palabok, and some Filipino beer. Last stop was Bar 13. That spot was nice, music was on point, and drinks were good.

I'm just glad to be back in Texas, but I can't wait to go back. Shouts to Jen and Eddie in NY for making my visit back home fun.

Life Captured

2005-12-30T09:22:00.000-08:00

One of my biggest passions is the retrospect of my life. I am a firm believer that you can't know where your going, til' you know where you've gone. I've accomplished many things in my 21 years of life, but none of them would be a memory for me if it wasn't for her. This woman has been a source of inspiration for me since the day I was born. Everything I know about life is rooted from the things that I learned from her. I have always been envious of her accomplishments, but it has only fueled me to do great things as well and for that I am grateful. My appreciation of women is derived from her past relationships. My appeal for fashion comes from her philosophy in life of always thinking BIG. What can I say world? I would like to introduce you to my little-big sis, Ju.

words of wisdom

it's been long overdue, but i felt that it was time to post. man. life. funny isn't it. how is it that we all take different paths but we all end up looking for the same thing. does it even exist. ask yourself, what is the Fountain of Youth. we all wish we can rewind our lives @ some point or another. why do us humans dwell on the past. what is about what we did that is so interesting. im the exact opposite. some would say that im a wishful thinker. i like to think of myself as a dreamer. many people live their lives in such a routine fashion. 6:00 wake up, 6:15 shower, 7:00 go to work, 12:00 lunch break. who would be proud of having lived such a repetitive lifestyle. I once read " give me a museum, and i'll fill it." that's what we have readers. our life is a museum. you can choose to hang plain paintings that can decorate your walls, or you can place abstract objects that will inspire others to do great things. live life daily like it was your last. in closing, i would like you to ask yourself one last thing...

would you, visit your museum

Life has a funny way of getting even. There's no good without bad, fun without misery, happiness without sadness, pleasure without pain, or triumph without disappointment. Who would've thought that something as simple as yin and yang would be so true. Life has a delicate balance. However, in order to get the pendulum to swing in the direction that we desire, we must allow ourselves to be in the position to take chances. Along with that chance, accompanies risks and consequences that could lead to positive outcomes or negative outcomes. But unless you take that chance, you will never know what your destiny was. Some people think that you only get one shot at the prize. I believe that is false. Opportunities dont just happen, you make them happen. You control how many shots you get. The only thing that is uncontrollable is time. Life doesn't have instant replays or rewinds. So live in the moment and enjoy. Don't linger on what was then; good or bad, but focus on what is now. Opportunities come a dime a dozen, but life only happens once. A life full of memories with your family and friends makes it a lot easier to appreciate than thinking back asking yourself what if...? Check out my most recent memory

and a STAR* was born

Aubrey O'day ladies and gentleman. Talk about winning the gene lottery. I predict she will make People magazine's 50 most beautiful list one day. This girl has a promising future. She is the epitomy of perseverance. Talent will only carry you so far in life. In order to be successful, it requires skill. Skill is the product of utilizing talent to become competent at what you do. Some would argue her success is because of luck. I agree. I firmly believe that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Sometimes, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Life everchanging

2005-11-13T20:36:00.000-08:00

I gotta testify before I die, Ima touch the sky. In a few days I will have spent 21 years on this earth. I never really looked at this day as one that I would look forward too, but I have reached a new perspective on that day. It's actually a pretty big accomplishment. In our society, turning 21 is a rite of passage into adulthood. In my social circle, I'm the last to turn 21. But you know what they say, "Save the best for last." As that day approaches, this new modern amusement jacket hurt my pockets. But when I come up in the spot looking extra fly on the 20th, Ima touch the sky.

And I Heard Em Say'

2005-10-26T21:13:00.000-07:00

Nothing is ever promised tommorow or today. That's why I'm thankful this woman is in my life right now and for however long that she's my girl. She is currently my inspiration...

Living life one bed bath @ a time

2005-10-17T21:37:00.000-07:00

You haven't really lived, until you have given a complete bed bath. This has probably been the worst and most rewarding event so far in my life. Some would ask, "Where's the reward in cleaning poop off an old man's balls?" Well, having provided AM care for those elderly clients has really opened my eyes to how touch and simply just the presence of another person can do so much for the well being of an individual. My quote for the week is, "Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work- Mother Teresa of Calcutta."

"Things to remember: 1) The worth of character; 2) The improvement of talent; 3) The influence of example; 4) The joy of origination; 5) The dignity of simplicity; 6) The success of perseverance."--Michael G.

"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." --Thomas Edison

2005-10-12T20:14:00.000-07:00

"Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." -- Edison.

Damn I need to get on the grind, I once read that the only free lunch is in a mousetrap. That's so true. Nothing in this world comes free and easy. If the path you take to achieve your goals doesn't have any obstacles, beware that you might be chasing fools gold. 20 years of life has finally made me realize that sucess is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered, and the courage with which he maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. -- Michael G.
