startin' the mornin' off right

merry x-mas, right ?!

so this issue has came to my attention, i think that we would all agree that when it comes christmas time we always have a list of all the goods we want, right ? and the purpose of this list is to let whoever it may concern know what you want as a present, right ? and we all get mad whenever we don't get those certain things we had on that list, right ? we open up that package expecting one of the things on that list, and all it is is underwear and tube socks. of course we act like were happy and thats just what we wanted, but really we are thinking to ourselves what am i going to do with another pair of gym socks.

so now that we got that part out of the way, let;s get into why i brought you here, why is that when you don't know what to get someone as a gift you ask them, cause who would have a better idea as to what someone wants other than that person ? well why is it that when you ask it turns out to be such a bad thing. they get mad at you like i don't want you to ask me what i want, you're just supposed to know and come up with your own idea. well aren't the odds kind of high that the present you get for them might be something that they won't like ? then you are back to where you started only with less money. so what are you supposed to do ? ask them what they want, and probably avoid getting the wrong present, and saving money ? or not asking, and getting the wrong present ? what would you do ?

nothing is new under the sun

hey you, yeah you over there wearing your brand new, exclusive, limited edition nikes with your jeans from sweden and your limited release tee, what is it that is so special about you ? is it that you have stuff that only a small number of people can get their hands on ? the fact that only the "cool" kids wear the stuff you have ? or just the fact that you think you're cooler than everyone else because you said so. well here's a news flash what you're doing has already been done, what you're wearing has already been worn, it may be new to you, but it's not really that new. "nothing is new under the sun" time after time the times will change from one thing to another. and once again you will change with them, whether you do so quickly, or you take your time. and if you don't adapt to these new fads then you will only be made fun of for not wearing what everyone else is.

not going to name drop cause it will sound a whole lot better not knowing who it came from, but a certain individual said it best,"i thought i was doing something different, but i really wasn't" and i think that's how a lot of us think, we think we are really something different, when in actuality we really aren't. it doesn't matter what music you listen to, what your favorite brand is, what you do for fun, because whatever it is, it doesn't make you any different from anyone else, no matter how hard you try to be different. whether you like white girls, black girls, asian, or hispanic, whether you like "scene" girls, punk girls, ghetto girls, or if you even like girls at all, you are still no different from the next person. to be blunt no one is just that special, sorry.

and for the record, yes, michael phelps is a good swimmer, great at that, but i promise you i won't be trying to marry a person just like him only because he won 8 gold medals at the olympics, and he seems to be so charming and positive when he's giving interviews on t.v, now that's just ridiculous, but someone actually said it, but hey that just goes to show you how people are when they think you are so much different and better than someone else. girls who never even heard of phelps all of a sudden are in love with him, but hey that's just how the cookie crumbles. but the fact of the matter is nothing is new under the sun.

in whomevers opinion everyone else will continue to dress stupid and everyone else will be dumb, everyone else will never understand what you are going through, cause you are oh so different right ? look we've all been there before, dressing differently, talking differently, acting differently, and even thinking differently, yes we all try and do it everyday whether we realize it or not, there are tons of other people out there that are doing the same exact thing, whether you see them or not it doesn't make it new or different. the point is you are just not that special, face it get over it and move on. (these ideas have been taken from real life events that i have either witnessed or read, please don't think this is directed to anyone person, because it is not, it is intended for everyone, to read, give their own input and take what they want from it)

the wonder years

the wonder years, the glory days, the good ole days, back in the day, whatever you'd like to call it, tomato tamato, those days are no longer here, no matter how much you talk about them and how hard you try to continue to live in those days, they are gone. "man remember that time in junior high when you threw that paper at the teacher ?" yea i was that kid, people who have not seen me in a long time still refer to me as that kid, no matter how many years have gone by to some people i'm still that kid. no matter how much i may have or not have changed were still the same person to people who remembered us when we were only youngsters. but some of still are no matter how old we are. with that said, no matter if you are just starting junior high, high school, college, or even your first day at the office, that always make a good first impression thing just might come in handy, hint hint ! good luck people.

the wonder years opening credits.

imagine that !

back to school...

...but it's alright cause i'm saved by the bell !

where do we go from here ?

i have been faced with an on going dilemafor quite some time now,and that is that cartoons these days suck ! where have all the classics gone ? todays cartoons are full of garbage with very bad plots, bad scripts, and even worse artwork. i think i grew up when cartoons were at their prime. do any of you remember the originals, the good stuff ? well i do, i was hooked on: superfriends, superman, spiderman, thundarr the barbarian, the herculoids, space ghost, top cat, the flintstones, heathcliff, transformers, and can't forgot the jetsons...those were only a small handful of some of the good shows that they used to air. i think if it wasnt for the boomerang channel then i'd be doomed. a lad like myself just doesnt have any patience for these new cartoons that they play today, i will give some of the new ones credit, a few, but as a whole they are pure trash. I want stuff like the originals that we grew up on back. you know, where you had to stay tuned to see what happens next, where next week was a new villain and a new mystery, when you would sit with your eyes glued to the t.v. with your favorite action figure and copy whatever batman did. now those were the days. to be honest, i only see things getting worse from here on out. smh.

can i get a burger to go with that shake ?

all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom !

from that paris, lindsay, britney, mary-kate, and whitney...a hundred dollar bills look atchu atchu !!! it seems that girls doing coke has almost become a rite of passage, a pop culture if you will. first they were drinking diet coke, now they on that coke diet. there is an enormously long list of famous women who have done coke, here's a few of the more popular names: noelle bush(neice of pres. bush) faith evans, jodie foster, kim mathers, kimora lee simmons, lindsay lohan, kate moss, and nicole ritchie. now i can't say i relate but i can say i understand. girls see people like britney spears and amy winehouse sniffing coke, they want to do it too. when i was growing up i remembered i wanted to be "be like mike," so naturally i wanted jordans. so its only right that all the young, and older girls that are fans of these such people want to do what they're doing which in some circumstances is sniffing cocaine. so remember, next time you see "all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom" trust me, everyone nose !

in my mind: entry 1

as i sit here thinking about my own thoughts, and going into my thoughts thoughts, i wonder why do i think the way i do. i ask myself what am i doing ? where am i going ? who am i ? do i even know who i am ? do you know who you are ? i live life from day to day as if i'm just floating on a cloud and breezing through life. why am i here ? why are you here ? i ask myself if i could see emotions what would they look like, do they have a certain color, do they smell different from other emotions and feelings. who knows, maybe your love smells different than mine does, maybe my orange juice tastes like apple juice and your apple juice tatses like milk. does anyone really know the answers to any of these questions, has anyone ever even asked them ? as i pause to say: i know some of you are like what is this dude talking about, but i know there's a few of you who are like yea, maybe i thought about one or two of those things. now back to whatever this is. i've always wondered what it would be like to be famous, how are their lives, don't they ever stop and ask themselves what it is they're really doing here, or there. do they ever have time to think when they're constantly on the road and flying from state to state and country to country. but then again don't we all have time to think ? but how often is it that you really do something about your thoughts, i'm not talking about i think i'm going to start dressing punk, so you go out and buy studded belts and die your hair black, i'm talking about changing the way you think, seeing things in different colors, doing things you want and not what everyone else thinks you should do. i know i'm going on and off topic, but the truth is there is no topic, i'm pretty much freestyling my own thoughts right now, trying to remember what i was thinking about thirteen seconds ago. as i come to another random thought that i just came to, i wonder if i will remember what it is as i am getting to typing it. i speak english, so my thoughts are in english, if i was chinese or japanese(languages that use symbols) how do they see their thoughts ? how do they appear in their minds. now i know nothing about being an animal, but i do know they think on their own, but what i don't know is how they think and how there thoughts look. do you think they resemble human thoughts ? or are their thought patterns on a totally different wave length ? well as i slow down my mind and get back to what i originally posted this for, who controls your thoughts ? do you or do the people you're trying to be like ? all of you have your own mind, so take it where you want it to be. with that being said i'm going back to that pink spongy thing in my head.

i am your father...
