Death

"Is death the last sleep? No-it is the last and final awakening."
-Sir Walter Scott

Today,I lost a very dear friend of mine. His happiness, joy and carefree attitude is one that cannot be emulated.
Him and his brother have been with me through some tough things...one of them involving a life or death situation. They were there for me. I played soccer with this kid and his older brother for years and loved every second of being their teammates. They were both incredibly well mannered gentlemen. And the one who passed away was full of life and laughter.

It was only this week that I was talking to him in class.
We were both talking about how much we hated that class...heh...

Losing him reminds me how fragile life can be..how we don't stop to think many times about how weak our existence is. That we are here one day gone the next...

I thank God in Heaven for blessing me with all that I have..and for waking up everyday.
This being said..I also believe that life should not be taken lightly..and that we should all celebrate the existence we all have. No matter how fragile.
Love thy neighbor and thyself.
Spread good cheer and happiness.
Make it a pleasure to be around you and so when you are gone...
People will notice that bit of happiness missing from their lives ...
I already miss him smiling already..I miss his existence.
My prayers go out to his older brother and family.
I love you man.
I will see you soon.

Bullies

Yo,

So, before I begin blogging, I just want to say that I hope you guys watch the news or at least heard about the Ohio school shooting?

No?

Well read this. and this. and this.

Sad.

I don't quite understand, why someone would ever feel the need to open fire on innocent victims, for

seemingly, no apparent reason. Recently it seems, in the school system, there has been a sudden increase in violence, and particularly the kind that makes the news. Anyone remember this news story?

I have never quite understood the motives behind such acts of violence. However, these stories have something in common: bullies.

It hasn't been publicized, but the kid who did the shooting was bullied. Alot. I do understand he was a "troubled teen", but did anyone stop to think, that maybe he went down that path because of his tormentors?

Did anyone stop to think that he did what he did because he was fed up with being bullied?

School systems themselves are to blame for such acts of violence. Because they lack enforcement on bullying policies, they have cases like this, where, the student is finally fed up, and explodes and does something rash. 

It is absolutely ridiculous. Kids are bullied everyday, and their voices are never heard, nor do schools choose to stand up and do anything about it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending the kid, but I do believe that this event could have easily been prevented had an adult intervened in the situation(s) when necessarily.

Bullies are some of the saddest people on earth, because they project their self-hatred onto others, in order to see the pain manifest. It is unfortunate, however, that bullies may also come from troubled backgrounds, and no one lends hands to save them.

I was bullied for almost my entire school career, simply because of the color of my skin, and my actions.

I dressed well, went to school, got good grades.

I didn't act "black"

I remember one class my freshman year, geometry, I was tormented everyday by older students because of the way I dressed. The teacher stood silent, the entire trimester.

Said not one word in defense, or to keep them quiet.

I was crushed.

In the end, I must say, that I do believe it made me a stronger person, but not without me suffering through depression for most of my High School career and always second guessing myself. I was a very sad person.

And not to brag on myself, but I am a rare case of a person who can control those emotions, and rather inflict them on another person, I inflicted them upon myself in order to keep from hurting others.

In much more common cases, the bullied will lash out at others, repeating the cycle of violence.

My thing is, if you simply don't like someone, don't be near them, or talk about them at all.

I mean, obviously if you talk about them, they are in your head, and you are already letting them win.

Just let it be.

If we all learn to treat each other with kindness and respect, we won't have stories in the news about shootings, or kids dying because they were beaten to death by bullies.

Treat others as you wish to be treated, and simply avoid those that cause you problems.

Simple as that.

That is simply my thoughts for today guys..

Monday

Yo,

What's up guys?

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while. This is the last week of our tri and I have been busy.

I promise I will try to blog as much as possible during 3rd Tri. I will have a little bit more free time, and will be online more. But until then, I will see you guys later.

Dueces,

Time

Hey guys,

Time to me, is a valuable thing. Even more so than money, or the world's most expensive diamond.

I think that, wasting someone's time, is one of the worst things you can do.

Why?

I do feel as if, in some cases, time is money.

But Time is also simply...time.

Money can always be replenished.

Time can never be retrieved. 

Wasting someone's time is like stealing their life, slowly.

It's like killing someone in a sense, you keep taking all of their time until there is none left.

And then, because you have wasted their time, they never had a chance to do the things they needed,wanted, or had to do.

However, you can turn that wasted time, into lessons learned.

Profit from it.

This is the difference, and wondrous thing about time.

It is malleable.

You can leave it as wasted time, or you can take it, and take it into something learned.

Sometimes those experiences are for better, sometimes for worse.

Idk. I had a bad day, and it is raining outside. I felt really pensive and deep today.

Oh well.

Later,

It's a Tuesday.

Yo,

What's up guys?

Unfortunately, today I gotta keep it short.

Just wanted to drop in, and say some stuff, y'know.

lol

I am so lost. Not even lying.

I will leave this here though:

How awesome is this?

I can't even begin to explain or try to put into words how cool something like this is! Just imagine...what if we...our Universe..is simply a neuron..among a bundle of other neurons...that exist among the brain of some unfathomable creature, who exists on his own world, in his own universe,within another creature's bundle of neurons..?!

It's mindblowing to say the least. lol

But hey, I am off again.

It's getting late and I am hungry.

And want to watch some anime.

Ah..Anime.

GetBackers sounds good for tonight.

OH!

One more thing:

If/when I get enough followers or pageviews, I am going to try and start a "Fan-Friday"

You guys can email me questions, and I will answer them here.

Once I get my Vlog up on Youtube, I will simply answer them there!

but anyway,

Later!

Today

Hmm...

I think I had blog material for today, but I have no idea where it went.

Ah, oh well.
But hey, I was watching the news today...and apparently the gay community and republicans are butthurt (no pun intended) over some of the Superbowl commercials and some of the tweets made about them.

Firstly, the gay and lesbian community was in an uproar over some tweet Roland Martin made about the David Beckham underwear commercial. Like...seriously? First off, don't get so offended over something people say. Yeah sure you want us to respect you and blah,blah,blah, but the tweet the guy made didn't even have anything REMOTELY to do with sexual orientation, and was actually aimed at soccer players. So, it seems they all got their panties in a bunch for no reason. And don't get me wrong, I don't mind those of the homosexual or bisexual orientation, but C'MON, you can't get upset over EVERYTHING everyone says about you. To be honest, you guys get more attention for that than the poor kids that get bullied at school everyday.
Seriously.
I know.
Because I was/still am one of them.

Anyway, moving on.

The Republican party was mad because of the Chrysler commercial that featured the awesomeness that is Clint Eastwood. It was quite well done, and simply talked about the fighting "American Spirit." But, apparently, yet AGAIN, someone took it the wrong way, and got all upset about it, saying it was backing the Obama administration's motor bailout, that created new jobs, and opportunities for people.
In reality, Mr. Eastwood said it was simply an ad for Chrysler, and about the fighting spirit that we as Americans all have, and that all politicians should agree on it.
To me, it was just a FREAKING COMMERCIAL.

People look wayyyyy to hard into things these days, and if you want me to get real honest, I just think the Republican party is jealous they couldn't get a guy like Clint to do a commercial for them, or they weren't smart enough to come up with the auto bail-out like Obama did. (lol)

But honestly guys, we watch them every single day, and pay no attention to them.

They were commercials, nothing more, nothing less.
So stop looking for reasons to be mad, and just sit back and enjoy them, jeez.

I feel bad for all of you, using all that energy on an activity so worthless; looking for something to be mad about.
So sad.

lol

Anyway, I think that is all I have for today.
I am reaaallly tired.
and hungry.
Very hungry.

I need food.

Later,

P.S.

I'm really starting to enjoy this blogging gig.

Now, if I could just get AdSense approved.
