Before time is up.

I should go ahead and do a new post before the month ends. It's almost the end of November. This year has gone by extra fast, and soooo much has happened. I'm glad I'm living through it all. And I can only thank God for everything.

I still dunno what I'm gonna do for Christmas... le sigh. I'll keep pressin' on.







Props to the folks out there proppin' others up! Glad you're giving people the help they need to help themselves then eventually others (and you when you need it).

あなた自身を立ち直らせてください

I absolutely despise the situations when I can't focus/concentrate!! Last couple days I haven't been able to focus on anything. And I mean nothing!I can but then I just go into a stupor...a daze...and then I get snapped out of it. Focus is one of the greatest assets I have (that and patience amongst others) it's hard for me to lose it. I want it back!!! Maybe I just have to fight through this hurricane in order to retreive it. 'But what do I know...' It's 'Hurricane Country' right now and I'm a poor lil shack on the Florida panhandle!!!








I had the greatest dream in my afternoon nap...why can't the great stuff that happens in dreams happen in real life?!

I'm Just Sayin' Now...

I hope that no one is reading these and either 1) think this is how I am or think or what I do ALL the time and 2) think I'm putting on a front to look good. That thought just came the other day while I was thinking about my father (very long, very different story...).

Don't get me wrong, I'm an absolutely wonderful and cool dude but I'm not always thinking in heavenly, insightful, Godly, extra-super Christian believer terms. While I'm trying to get to that point, I have my flaws, faults, and vices.

We all do right?

Just sayin', this is sort of a disclaimer a message to say that I stuggle too. And with each post I just hope someone else can relate to what I'm talking about. I'm not looking to inspire/motivate but if it happens, GREAT! I'm just getting my thoughts in the open and would love to provoke thought and discussion with each topic.

Thanks for your time.






Steve Jobs and Fred Shuttlesworth died yesterday. God bless their souls and may they rest in peace.

Teach...Learn...Same Thing

I actually have time to write a post. YES!

It's pretty fun and rewarding teaching people stuff. You get to see how people think, build relationships, and learn some important stuff yourself! To me, that's the important bit; take away something positive from every encounter so you can build yourself up and make those around you better. We learn so much from everyone else it's ridiculous (in a good way)! Give something back! Make it a goal to challenge those around you (closest to you), they become better and you'll become better for it each time you do it.

Holding one another accountable can be a good thing, as long as it's done with the correct intentions and in love. If it's in love everyone benefits and God gets the glory for that.

So to my teachers, thank you for you being you. It has surely helped me become a BETTER man. And my students, thank you for teaching me and being yourselves. I learn more from you than I think you learn from me. I'm truly grateful.

And We're Back...

Today has been kinda lazy for me and kinda not. I've been filling out applications went to the mall chilled and saw a wonderful friend today for the first time in about 4 months! I always have a thing about bothering folks at work though...makes me feel weird and I don't wanna get them in trouble so yeah...

But anyway productive and fun at the same time. These days seem to only happen here. This place is like magic to me. Like some of that good ol' Harry Potter magic with the wands and cloaks and giant castle schools, ya know what I mean? No? I'm not sure where that came from either.

This place feels wonderful especially right now. Can't wait to see what's in store for me but in the meantime I'll just enjoy these moments God has given me.

Up With My Thoughts

I'm up. Just thinkin'...Daydreamin'. Listening to music too. Chillin' here with my thoughts is just wonderful. I've realized that I can be my own best friend too. I can be with other people and I'm also fine with being alone with me. But that's beside the point I wanna make. I can have a devious lil mind sometimes, and by devious I just mean I plan stuff out. I'm planning something right now that's gonna be off the chain when it all comes together! Maybe I'll start planning out some birthday surprises too...idk. I wonder who we got comin' up....







Daydream...I fell asleep beneath the flowers....for a couple of hours....I love you.
That's not how that song goes is it?! Oh well...whatever.

The Summer Wrap Up

My summer vacation is almost at an end. I'm glad and not at the same time. Bama's my home and I hate to leave it but I know I have to. The prettiest state in the union...Alabama! I always find something cool when I come back. I'm just ready to get away from all the craziness and drama that I'm forced to be around, with my family. I can run a lil, but I cannot hide from it all. And that's the shit that wears me down. But I go through these things and all the while I'm thinkin','I'm gonna be better off in the long run because of this.' I believe it. I'm just keeping that faith and hope alive. Cause after everything's said and done you'll always have that lil shred of hope left, and it'll grow too.

Blog...About....Something...?

Man....I got here and forgot what I wanted to talk about....uhhh, ummmmm, ok!
Here's something:
I've been reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I'm hooked on it. This guy's tale of his struggles to find himself and his place in white society. This was pre-Civil Rights so yeah...it's very racially driven much like a lot of things are today, whether most people realize it, admit it, understand it or not.

This book is opening my eyes about somethings. I'll let you know fully when I finish.

Maybe I'll remember the other thingie later...I don't know...

Reflections

I've been through a lot these last few weeks. I'm glad that God has helped me through it all.

I've been helping out with Vacation Bible School at my church. They had me helping out with all the lil kiddies 3,4,5,&6 year olds. That's the fun age (Not if you're watching 'em)! I most certainly had fun & those kids were hangin', climbin', and jumpin' all over me (and trying to kick my ass). I saw people I met (and taught) last year and its amazing to see how much kids grow in a year (What are we feeding these jokers?!)! I never knew how much I was missed until I left either. I've touched some hearts. Dunno how, or why, or when but I did.

Now that all that's over (Vacation Bible Skool I mean), I've just been reflecting on the past a lil. I wonder just how many people's lives I've touched over the years (I noticed it a while ago)...cause I know countless people that have come across my path that have inspired and motivated and have just been lights of my life...still amazes me that I can be and do that to someone else. I'm glad that I can do that.

So, why do people love them some D-MOBB?! I dunno exactly, but maybe it's cause I love them too. That's my theory.

I wanna say thanks to everyone in my life who's inspired, motivated, counseled (babysat), or has just plain been there for me. You know who ya are. 'Preciate cha! I hope I could/can/could do the same for you in the past/present/future!







This blog reminds me of a Monk tune by a similar name. 'Course everything reminds me of some kinda song...smh....

War...What Is It Good For?

There's an old saying somewhere, that wars cannot be won by strength alone I see what that is about now. And I absolutely believe it. It takes all kinds of things, cunning, strategy, instinct and most importantly patience to rule the battlefield...whatever battlefield you may be on. Depending what you're doing, fighting an actual factual war? Trust yourself and collaborate with other good strategists. Fighting a spiritual war? Then ask God for some guidance...actually you should do that in the other case too come to think of it.

I have no clue what this blog was originally supposed to be about because I started it a month ago and never finished it so, yeah I've just been going off of almost nothing here...I was in a completely different place when I started it, a bit frustrated and angry so yeah...no...it ain't workin' anymore. Anyways I'm just gonna take an 'L' on this one. Ha-Haaa! Irony!






You could just be Battle Fever J and blow people up with the penta force attack! Watch out for the two missiles about to blow your ass to bits!

Summer 2

I've just been thinking after everything that's happened over the last couple weeks...stress, fear, anger, happiness, love, strength, hope, ALLLLL kinds of emotions I've gone through...I'm very relieved especially now that I have a vacation. But most of all, I think that I wouldn't trade the path that I've taken in this life for the world. I reflect and I'm proud, finally truly proud of myself. I'm absolutely loving my friends too. I honestly don't say it enough but I love you guys!

All the while though, I'm trying not to let it get to my head....I'm gonna enjoy it the best I can though. Stayin' focused!

Steppin' Up

I've been through a lot this last week. Found out a lot about my family and friends. Who really is there for me and not. I've also seen that I've always had what it took to be a leader...it just took a crisis for it to finally sink in. When the pressure was on and all eyes were on me I stepped up and delivered. I'm proud of myself and motivated even more to reach my goals. God had already put that in me and I know that I can be so much more than I am. I will continue to strive to be the man that God wants me to be. I'm glad I made the decision to step up to the plate. The Lord is starting to use me. I never thought it'd feel this good to be used.

In times of trouble I've started looking to my bible and my favorite scripture Psalm 3. Verse 3 says: For you Lord are a shield for me. You're my glory, you lift my head. When I look at that, I perk right up. There's a story behind it that I won't go into but it's helped me through some tough times and I suggest it to anyone that believes in the power the Word has that comes to me with some problem.

Real men, godly men let God light their way. And he will lead them to everything they need in their lives. Especially that woman they've been waiting for! But when the time is right! Same to you women out there reading this...God's gotcha back!





I know who I am but I'm getting surprised more and more everyday by what I will become.

Strength

Things have been quite busy for me lately. Heating up in the middle of the summer. I wanted to make this short and sweet. I'm glad I came back home for the summer now. God has revealed so much in my life about everything! And this 'vacation' hasn't been the best but it's ok. I'm strong but the Lord's making me even stronger! I love how this is happening. And I love you Lord! Thank you so much for everything that you've brought my way cause it's brought me to you.









We striving... :-)

Church, Tresspassing, Forgiveness

I keep getting inspired to write on Sunday's after church...for some odd reason....idk....

Anyways, our sermon today was about clearing up issues with folks we have issues with. In order to be a better person in general (not just Christian cuz I know we don't all think that way...I'm cool with dat I respect our differences) (now where was I...OH Yeah... to be a better individual...) we gotta forgive others. If we've done wrong to another (and realize it) we need to straighten it out. If you have an issue with them, let them know. But you should resolve your issues in a calm manner. Make sure you go to them in the right frame of mind. Kinda reminds me of the song, 'Let's Straighten It Out' it's old.

We all have those people we just don't care for in life, we're human...it's bound to happen. The thing we must do is swallow our pride and be cordial, 'cause we never know what someone's going through and they might act funny for attention. They might need an encouraging word.....or seven.

Everything in this world always seems to boil down to communication. The more we speak and read, the better we'll understand. And God will help us with that understanding.

For you bible readers out there I gots scriptures for you (Make out of it what the Lord puts in your heart):
Matthew 5:9; 5:22-26; 6:14&15; 7:1-5
Colossians 3:12-17
I'm sure there are more out there so, go find 'em you'll be all the better for it.








We should all remember to love others as you are loved by Jesus, and forgive as you were forgiven.

More Poetry

I started writing this a very long time (years) ago and finished it about a month ago. It's really about how I felt about myself at that point in my life.

This one boy,
Is in good standing with his peers
Quite an intellegent one he is
With a life inveritably led by trepidation, hope, and fear

He holds back
Not knowing what they'll do.
So he speaks softly to the wind
This has always been true

He meets people,
But waits first for them to talk
Sure, he'll go with you wherever,
But he'll wait first for you to walk

He wishes to be the man he isn't yet
But he doesn't know how
He flails about wantonly
There is no one to help him now.



Darren Stewart Jr. 05/2011

It's really interesting to me how moody and sad it is but like I say, that's how it was back in the day. I look back and become proud of the transformation (Henshin!) I've made but I know I still got a ways to go. God's gonna get me there.
Thanks for reading my peoples!!








I haven't had any random lil sidenotes recently...I wonder why....oh well. Been learning some new songs mostly Japanese ones. They're just so darn catchy!

Father's Day, Men, Mom

Feels like it's been so long since I wrote something...only been a lil over a week though. My mother called me and my friend in her room to watch television and I saw a nice clip of a TD Jakes sermon yesterday (Father's Day), it was talking about becoming a man. A true man. Lately this topic has been on my brain and people have been talking more about it too for some reason. Since I only caught a small portiion of it he didn't mention any bible verses. What he talked about though was:

1) Men need to know how and not be afraid to express our emotions. 'Specially to other men.

How are we gonna grow as people and in relationships (friendships, boyfriend-girlfriend, marriage, whatever!!) if we can't tell one another that something's wrong?

2) Men need to talk to their women [in their lives] more.

TD Jakes mentioned that he was astonished by the fact that women didn't hear a whole lot of their men talking to them. And he made his point by using the age old question: A woman asks a man, "What are you thinking?" The man says, "Nuthin'!"

3) Men must put away their 'childhood' toys.

Maybe their toys in the literal sense but most of what he was talking about were men's [past] gateways to sin. He said that men NEED to know what their weaknesses are so they know how to fight them.

4) There's someone in your life that can bring the man out of the kid in you. Some men are still kids inside.

There's a bundle of truth to this! I've seen it myself plenty. Mr. Jakes used the story of David as an example for this. David became king at a very young age, he was still a kid but God pulled him to that position so he could become the great man God always knew he could be! Once someone sees the potential it needs to be cultivated. Maybe it won't be easy but once the journey is near it's end (the kid becomes that man) both parties will be all the better for it. And God will look down from heaven smiling. (Last couple sentences, my thoughts. lol)

5) Encouragement goes a long way.

In this point he talked about gaining approval from father. He mentioned how 'dad's smile is worth more than 1000 kisses from mom' to a male. It holds true. There's a mother's love...which is enduring, everlasting, and very sweet. And there's a father's a lil' sharp/blunt, patient, strong. But no matter who you are to this man in your life [or anyone for that matter] mother, father, co-worker, spouse, or friend let these men know that you care. They'll be there for you just like you were there for them.

For those of us who don't have a father in our lives (or a good one for that matter) we've gotta remember our Father in Heaven. His love allows us to make mistakes and come back to him. Experiences! :-) And after all that we know that we can count on Him to take care of our needs. It makes us even stronger to trust in Him.

As long as we come to know God we can become strong men [and ya'll women too] of standard. And as a friend of mine has shown me:

I come to know God by experience, and I obey Him as he accomplishes his works through me. (Keep it in mind) I've found myself saying it throughout my day. And I believe it.
And I wanna thank my mother for being the great woman of God she is and for taking the time out to show me, my friends, and my brother what that program was about! You guys just don't know!! lol I love you mom!

Thoughts, Heart, Wifey

Just got some words for ya. & thoughts, very cool thoughts.

I've been pondering a bit about my future wife. Don't know who she is (maybe), where she'll come from (lest we're aquainted already), or which one of my dreams she'll spring out of (hope springs eternal...), but I know that I'll love her to death! I want a woman with a heart of platinum and rooted spiritually. My heart has always known but my mind is just now catching on. I'm slow like that sometimes (sarcasm). Rough times, slow times, fast times, and good times, it won't matter what we go through....

As long as I think this way I know God will have her sneakin' up on me some kinda way and I probably won't notice till later on (but not too late).

Why am I sharing this....? got no clue...just wanted to.
Whatever comes my way I'm waiting and ready to roll witth life's punches (sometimes jabs, sometimes haymakers).







I'm constantly realizing and remminded of how lucky I am to be alive. Thank you....

This Point In Time...

This week has flown by. I haven't had the urge to blog much either. But hey, so it goes....I can't wait to start dancing again. Feels like forever and a day since I've toprocked! I gotta get back to it though to keep my morale and my sexy up! Ladies like a man who can dance...or so I hear. :-D

That's it for now. God Bless you.




Maybe I should start on these Harry Potter books...NAH!!

Conversations, Hot Weather, Beauty

I had a great conversation with a friend of mine the other day. Usually just talking about whatever came to mind. Always fun when you're laughin' and trippin' with someone. The thing that stuck out the most though was when I was asked what I considered beauty to be. Now, I've thought about it so much in the past, I already knew what my answer was. Something priceless, timeless, and another word that I can't quite remember...(durn it! it was the most important one too!) but for the sake of argument we'll say enduring.

(Eh...doesn't have the ring I thought it would.)

Anyways, I believe beauty is something that cannot be truly defined. Only perceived through one's own eyes and taken in within one's own heart. (Lil corny I know but its true) True beauty to me is something that goes through the tests of time and comes out lookin' newer and shinier than before. Not just objects, but people too.

Why don't you just think about that sometime...What is beauty to you?





Man, its starting to get hot outside! I love it! I feel right at home in hot muggy weather!

Summer

Things are really starting to heat up. I got an offer to work with someones drumline. I'd love that! I'm trying to keep in contact with all my friends. Its hard sometimes. I'm trying to fix some things...with God's help of course. That's what it's gonna take. And I'm still being me. I'm working on being the man. It's a long, tough, but narrow path and on down the line it'll be worth it. I'm working to make my weaknesses into strengths; and taking my strengths to make God smile. I hope God grins from ear-to-ear when he sees me. :-) I surely do when I think of all that's been done for me.
Can't wait to see how the rest of this goes!

Japanese Power Rangers....?

I'm into some pretty obscure stuff for a young black male living in the Deep Southeastern United States of America on the planet Earth. For instance: Jazz, Breakin', Electronics...ok, maybe not obscure enough. Lemme try again: Jazz, Anatomy, Cooking, watch British tv just to improve my accent, Learning French, and watching Japanese tv shows. Ok maybe not so much either 'cept for that last one. Dramas, tokusatsu (Power Rangers, Kamen Rider), and even the occasional Godzilla movie all fit. I loves me some Japanese telebikun. It's nice sweet and to the point (most of the time)and they're soooo quirky. And people actually die...in horrible ways....and you get to see most of it.....on the screen.... Loveliness!!! I could make complaints about American television but that's just boring and then I'm also pretty sure the FCC, ABC, NBC, FOX, and Glen Beck would come after me if I said something too. With helicopters, and guns, and chloroform soaked dryerase boards. Bad guy's best friend: chloroform. Dunno why, but I watch enough tv to tell you that. Sad ain't it!







Everywhere I look I see stuff, and this stuff reminds me of other stuff, which eventually leaves my mind heavily sidetracked. Too much Di Vinci Code....

Life's Recent Thingies

I've been kinda down this last week, just cause I haven't been able to move or do anything like I wanted to. My knee hurt. A lot! I could hardly walk properly. Popped outta place once again. (Durn windmills)! So, I'm back on the horse so to speak and ready to move again. Went to church yesterday, prayed, slept, had fun with kids, picked up a granite table, watched Kamen Rider, and now I'm ready to see the world! With my good knees! So, I'm off...starting in the morning....G'nitey!








Sometimes ya think ya know more than you thought you knew and then ya find out later, ya actually don't...doncha hate that!?

Now for the Feature Presentation....Poetry!

This is an oldie that I found. I don't remember when I wrote it but I remember what I felt....



Her

If only she knew how I felt about her
Without telling her
Without giving her not one clue
If she only knew

I think of her night and day
And just listning to her words
Blows my mind away
To distant places I've never been
Far away from anyone else
Just she and I alone
In my own little fantasy

But will she accept me?
Will she turn me down
Who's to know?
Only herself and God above.

Wishes and dreams, hopes and tears
Are exceeded far worse by my fears
And they keep telling me...
"The worst she can say is no, right?"
I don't know this because I've never done this
But all I can think of is me and her
Her and me
Together

I think of her day and night
And just watching her smile
Makes me sit and think awhile
About a faraway place
Just she and I alone
In my daydream

And as these things flutter round my head like butterflies
I sit here, reflecting on my many tries
To get noticed
But, it hasn't worked
Not yet

Maybe I'll just be direct...

"Wars are lost and won but the battles are never done." I just made that up. I think..... (Checks Google....) Yep! It's mines!!!

Me Life

My knee has been hurting for days now. I stretched and it has popped out of place and is slowly recovering with only slight pain. I'm proud of myself that I'm not taking any medication for it. I'm not opposed to going to the doctor but I'd like to give myself a chance to fix myself. lol Unless the pain or injury is to serious. I just think it's good training and a good excuse to look at my anatomy books again. And for some reason I always end up turning to either the guy parts or lady parts (nomenclature for the PG-13) page. Just happens. I think I know more about bladders and hormones than I ever wanted to. And I finally have time to get back into my poetry. I found some old ones today....pure gold! I think I was better then than I am now. It's inspiring amongst other things. I just have muses coming out of the woodwork!

But anyways, that's the long and short of it...

Man

This was a post I saw by a friend of mine. It is poignant and just all around greatness! So please read and enjoy!


There are two choices for colored men:
Go nowhere… or go far.
The choice we make comes from within:
Sad excuse… or shining star.
Instinctively though, is a desire to grow,
...a yearning to be more than less.
When effort is shown and young colored boys have grown
our uniqueness will lead us to bliss.
We walk like warriors because we’ve been fighting since birth
to prove to ourselves we have a place on this earth.
There is no choice but be strong.
God made us right, He wasn’t wrong.
We are more than the criminals marginalized on the news
and the guys in the movies who murder, rape, and abuse.
We do more than run, jump, and swing.
We care about more than bling.
Colored men have taken life by the tail and still others looked the world in the face
and said, “You will not spin around the sun again, until I have my rightful place.”
We’re not allowed to complain, so we refrain and maintain.
And when anything goes wrong, guess who also shoulders the blame?
If you could ask Barack, what would he say?
What would Malcolm say, or DuBois, or MLK?
Don’t believe the hype.
If we can build pyramids, believe we can type.
We can research, we can write, we can tweet, and we can skype.
We can operate on brains or navigate a flight.
Who delivers poetry better than UPS and FedEx?
Who can break it down to you simple, be abstract or complex?
Who can conjugate verbs, build a mansion with words,
throw a party in dat piece, and greet the haters with hors’ d’oeuvres?
Frederick Douglass said, “Without struggle there is no progress.”
We struggle 'til we're free and then with life’s best we are blessed.
There are two choices for colored men:
Go nowhere… or go far.
The choice we make comes from within:
Sad excuse… or shining star.

We're Supermen! When we wanna be...

The Year...

This is, so far, one of the best years of my almost 23 yr old life. I couldn't ask for anything greater. So, I'm gonna go out and keep livin' the way I want to live. Cause we do have that choice, ya dig? I have chosen to live my life according to the will of God. A fairly recent decision, with an even more recent statement declaration (just now) but my choice nonetheless. Livin' my life like its golden! So, much love and respect to my peoples of the world. Make yer choices, live yer lives. But make sure at the end of the day you've realized the right ones (choices).
Love, Peace, n Chicken Grease ya'll!

I'm the only one eating cereal in my house [of three dudes and one mother]. YAY! More Cap'n Crunch Berries pour MOI! :-)

You......Great People You!!

I just finished looking through some notes....no, not from class (though I probably need to), on facebook (call it stalking if you must). I prefer to call it looking on from afar always watching just studying....(now I've just told on myself :-D) Anyways, I've looked at notes of people that I've known forever and people I have recently met. I saw one's hopes, dreams, nightmares, fears, sadness, elation, victory, anger, joy and much more being displayed. I saw how much people changed! Whether for better or worse; richer or poorer; blah, blah, blah. I saw how their experiences carried them to the point in their lives that they're currently living. And its wonderful to know that, for the most part, people remained the same. Their same wonderful, beautiful, amazing, terrifying, and absolutely great selves are intact! I've noticed where these people have come from (small glimpses, of course) and it simply astounds me to see these changes and similarities in situations in so many people's lives...especially my own.

Three years ago I was (pretty much) the same person I am now. And I love that. In spite of all the changes/corrections I've made trials/tribulations/triumphs I've gone through I'm still the same D-MOBB you all know (maybe) and love. Back then, I thought I'd take drastic measures and eons to even get this far in my life, but no.
I still LOVE cornbread.
I still have no trouble WRITING my thoughts out (speaking coming soon to a theater near you).
I still think I'm a nice young man.
And I still love to use humongous words (and run-on sentences). Its always been in me. Enough about D-MOBB tho.

This is all just another reminder to me that the folks God put on this planet are absolutely positively gorgeous! It makes my heart swell to see this and I feel such an overwhelming joy for the human race. Just and/or only because of this! God bless you lovely people! :-)






Taking my butt to bed after I watch a nice quiet episode of Golden Gir....nope! I'm watching a 007 movie instead. Ain't nothin' like watchin' Cap'n Blow S^%t Up (Daniel Craig) blow s*#t up with the angry man face on.

Featuring... Poetry!

This is one I wrote for a friend of mine on morning....it really doesn't have a title.

Pretty girl staring out of the window,
Why do your eyes wander...
Wander off into the nether regions of space,
Out into the wild blue yonder?

Dreaming of days gone by?
Or your beautiful beau who'll sweep you off your feet?
Wishing the world was as beautiful as the day you came into it,
Or hoping for the big turnaround at your son's conception?

Ah, ma belle fille,
Do you know what power you hold,
What weapons you wield,
What extraordinary things you can do
With just a click of your heels
A flick of your wrist
A wink of your eye

You know...I know you do.
You won't tell me though.

Of All The Lovely Persons...

...to walk in to my life.... :)
Should YOU ever read this I'd like to say thanks for being you. I'm such a baby sometimes and you were there babysittin' my emotions sometimes. lol I think about how we met purely by chance, couldn't have been anything else but God. And to think that you've become quite important in my life is something I never would've expected from our first encounter. As time went by you've helped me make great strides in my life and helped make my faith in God even stronger than before. I used to pray to God to reveal to me why he put you in my life and I know it was to help me fully and completely come back to Him.

Sometimes I'm not sure if you know what a wonderful person you are or how much you actually mean to me but as long as I know you I will remind you every so often what a wonderful child of God you are. I think about you and pray for you often cause no matter what, I want you to do well in life and after. And I really hope that I've done even just a tiny bit for you as you have for me. You're absolutely lovely.


Sincerely,
D-MOBB

Do something....zombies!

I've been home for a lil less than a week and I think its time for me to kick it up a notch. BAM!! Fill out more applications, exercise more, practice my bass, and stop obsessing over women too. That's a blog for another time. So yeah...lemme go do stuff and I hope to not see zombies walking down the street in the near future.




Had a dream last night about fighting zombies....weird business......

Hope/Feelin' Bodaciousness

I'm feeling 'right' at the present moment. I'm noticing all the changes over the last year and its exciting and a lil scary. The changes I've made in my life, my home life with us trying to get back to being a cohesive unit of four (Me, Dad, Ma, & me bro) w/o killing each other in the process. Many of my peoples homes were decimated and they're at the end of their ropes. But not my granparents...they 'carry on!' all about the business. Good for them! I look up to that and i've adopted that characteristic over the years cause that's how it's always been. No matter what happens with our lives the good, bad, or ugly, we must 'carry on' cause we have lives to live. And remember above anything else (my mantra): [As long as God's there (which is constantly)] There is always hope. God bless the victims, survivors, and the ones killed from this storm.





I've been vibing off of Jazztronik lately. Maybe too much, I'm starting hum songs in my sleep...

C'est la vie!/God!

Just realized...it's been a while since I've done this so, bear with me here. I've been studying at my school (tsu) just toiling the hours away with books, playing guitar (& teaching it), friends, roomates and the like. In my spare time watching KR OOO, playin' video games, and breakin' has left me with little time to myself lately. It's high time for a lil R&R; can't wait till the semester's over! But after being busy and stressed for so long I have finally realized that God has helped me plenty throughout these times. He's provided me with good friends and great family to see me through the troubling times and even the good ones. He's always there folks we just need to stick with him.





Wishing I had a TARDIS and a sonic screwdriver right now....that would be dope!!!
