Paris

Paris is a place of peace and rest, its a place of comfort and humility, when i first arrived in Paris i was just there for the sights, but the longer i stayed my gaze went from the Eiffel tower and the luvre, to the back alley ways and the streets not seen before, it open my eyes to the beauty and wonder of the city and I'm so glad that I came.

culture

so alot of people are debating about weither american culture has been driven by media of if media is driven by culture. i am of the belief that culure drives media not the other way around by i am of the belief that celebrities drive what people wear and how they act. like for instance no one would ever really dress like a guido efore jersy shore. so what are your thoughts??

ordinary world

meet george, he is a 62 year old african american man. george is a mechanic at a local garage he works 12- 15 hours a day. five days, just to support his wife and four kids. he loves all of them very much and works very hard  to support them, but he is falling short and falling deep into debt. one day george goes into work and his boss calls him into his office, he sits george down and says. "george i dont know how to say this but when your wife was taking your children to school she was hit by a drunk driver and they are all dead." george; furious storms out of work gets into his car and speeds home. he picks up his pistol from his night stand and heads for the hospital where the drunk driver is recovering.


will george take vengance for the death of his family?
will george commit suicide?
will george ever get out of debt???

karma

i am just curious do any of you believe in karma? cuz i dont really know if i believe in it. i mean i can see how it could be true but i also dont like the idea that my life is already set. so what do you think??

golden 'toe'

why are you doing this??

doing what?


helping me

because, i have to do what's right




well what is going to happen when they come for me, they will kill you too, you know that right?

i'm not afraid of dying; not anymore.

well thank you but i have to go now, i cant put you in harms way for me anymore.


hold on!

what is it?


thank you for saving him.

i only wish i could have saved them all.

creativity

just a thought but who determines when someting is amazing or not, i mean why is the mona lisa so famous?? to me it just looks like the artist screwd her mouth up and chose not to fix it. so why is that so much better than say a five year olds crayon scribble. cuz i can tell you this i can guarantee that any five year old is more creative than divinci. so ya enough of my rant.

blackout

undoubtably they
 will trim
 that which has
value to you.

just some stuff

i love this song.












"Remember Everything"

Oh, dear mother, I love you
I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough
Dear father, forgive me
'Cause in your eyes, I just never added up
In my heart I know I failed you, but you left me here alone

[Chorus]
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
'Cause I remember everything.
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
'Cause I remember everything.

Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me
For never standing by you or being by your side
Dear sister, please don't blame me
I only did what I thought was truly right
It's a long and lonely road, when you know you walk alone

[Chorus]
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
'Cause I remember everything.
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
'Cause I remember everything.

I feel like running away
I'm still so far from home
You say that I'll never change
But what the fuck do you know?
I'll burn it all to the ground before I let you in
Please forgive me, I can't forgive you now.
I remember everything.

[Chorus]
If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?
'Cause I remember everything.
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?
'Cause I remember everything.

It all went by so fast;
I still can't change the past
I always will remember everything
If we could start again,
Would that have changed the end?
We remember everything, everything.

favorite movies

personally my favorite movies are war/action movies they are the most entertaining to me. as for my favorite it is a three way tie between "braveheart", "gladiator", and "saving private ryan".

nothingness

I've been wrestling with this for a while, can you ever really be doing nothing? i mean think about it, we say it all the time but what is doing nothing?

because even if you are just sitting "doing nothing" you are still breathing,
your heart is still beating,
 you brain is sending millions of signals through out your body for you to be able to see hear smell and feel.
your body is still digesting that turkey sandwich you just ate.

so i ask again what is nothing?.

i will tell you, nothing is death. not necessarily death of the body but death of the soul. when a person loses all hope and desire to live or function or even be human; that is nothing.

nothing is the worst place to ever be in so just think carefully about your answer the next time someone asks you what you are doing.

As my mind begins to spread its wings; there's no stopping curiosity.

                                                                                  -jack johnson

turn on the boob tube . Im in the mood to obey.

                                                       -Jack Johnson


I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now


I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown


This engine screams out loud
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound
Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town
All the people in the street
That I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I don't need to be
So I


I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down


But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You don't know nothing
But you don't need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you don't let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low


I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now


-jack johnson

jealousy

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son! 

Rudyard Kipling

this poem makes me jealous it makes me feel like i suck and could never wirte poetry or be a man. i hate and love it

instruments

well here it is, what instrument do you think is the most beautiful? and yes voices count. for me i think it is a harmonica. i think that they are the most soothing and comforting sound there is. what is your oppinion?

sleep

when i dream i drem about love found and love lost.

all the people a love and hurt.

dont you find it ironic that it is the people that we love the most are the ones that we hurt the worst.

now it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

but if that is true than why does my heart still hurt all these years later. i wish that i could see her again even though she almost killed me. i still love her.

i dont know, i dont know where i am going with this, i just know the pain.

human nature: part 2 kindness

I believe that most people are generally nice and good.

failure

human nature: part 1 COURAGE

I think that are things in human nature that define us, that separate us from the rest, that make us different from animals. one of these things is courage;
Courage to stand up for what you know is right even when everyone else around you doesn't agree.

Courage to rise against oppression and tyranny.

The kind of courage that a mother has to protect her children and fight off people that are twice her size and strength.

Courage to do the right thing even if no one notices and you get no credit.

Courage is something that man kind has always treasured and honored, and for all our sake i hope that courage in men has not been lost forever.

life and death

 

wow where to begin.
well where else would begin than when you are born and when life begins. this is the most innocent and pure a person will ever be. what does that even mean, what does life even mean. why do we live any way? whats the purpose? well the answer is i have no f-ing clue but i do know this im glad im here and  i hope  that god gives me just a few mores years cuz there is so much more to experience and miles to go before i sleep.

music

alright, where do you even start with a topic like this. music is what has defined us, divided us, and brought us together. there are so many different kinds of music i am not going to even try to list all of them. I love music, i love it i can listen to it all day and never get tired of it. my favorite kinds of music are country, hip-hop, and rock. yes i know very different kinds of music, but that's what makes them so great they all make you feel completly different. the kind of music i listen to most often is probably country. which you might find odd because like six months ago i hated country music, but now i love it. it is just so layed back and relaxing. nut i don't know everything, so what is your favorite kind of music??

Fears

I'm afraid. I'm afraid all the time. I'm afraid i will see and not know what to say. 

I'm afraid of writing. I'm afraid that i will be judged for being me.

I'm so very afraid that she will see right through me.

I'm afraid of being afraid about being afraid.

I'm afraid of failure, I'm afraid of rejection, I'm afraid of disappointment.

I'm afraid that one day i just wont care anymore.

I'm afraid of everything and nothing at the same time.

I'm just afraid.

just a thought

how are you supposed to have confidence in yourself if no one has confidence in you??

I'm thinking about you

Girl i'm thinking about you like sky's think about falling,
                like rain thinks about pouring,
                        and funerals think about mourning,
       
I'm thinking about you like sun thinks about warm,
                    and warm thinks about cold, which is what i am when i am not thinking about you.

I'm thinking about you like rock thinks about rolling,
          like pins think about bowling,
                        and stars think about showing, you the way home.

I'm thinking about you like knives think about cutting,
         like waves think about crashing,
                        like bats think about bashing,
                               and teeth think about gnashing.

Girl i'm always thinking about you, like i hope your thinking about me.

superbowl

well since it just happened I guess ill talk about it. alright just to get this out of the way; yes the half time show was terrible! ok now to the game, this game was a battle of quarterbacks, you have Tom Brady, a three time Superbowl champ and league mvp. and you have Eli Manning, a Superbowl camp also, but the catch is that when he last won the Superbowl he beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. alright I enjoyed the game i didnt really care who won cuz im not really a fan of either of these teams but i was kind of rooting for the Patriots because i dont like Eli. I pretty much knew that the Patriots would loose after the first play of the game. any time you can get that much pressure on Tom Brady early you are going to win the game. as for the ending i think if either Wes Welker or Aaron Hernandez you not have dropped there passes on the patriots final drive they probably would have won the game. oh and the best commercial was definitely the m&m's one:) it was classic.

love

wow where do you start. Love is such a powerful thing, it can make people do amazing things and amazing dumb things. love can drive you crazy but you will always seek it. love is one of those strange forces that you can't control but always controls you. love is something that has been talked about for as long as we have been here on earth, but it has never been understood. I don't believe that i know nearly enough to speak on love so i will just leave you with that. love is something we all need, but all hate.
