If I could have worn a Megazord version of this in elementary school, I would have.

So... this is how he does it?

10 Years Ago

If you could go back and talk to you 10 years ago, what would you say?

Change of plans

Request Denied

Just got a Facebook request from this girl

Needless to say, I denied the request.

Annoying Stories From My Facebook Feed

Ok, starting something new on the blog, I've thought about doing this for a while, but never got around to it, until now. I have around 1,300 Facebook friends, a majority of which I don't even know. Needless to say, I get a lot of idiocy on my Live Feed. I'm going to start sharing that idiocy right here on my blog. Could be fun...right?

Patterns

We live in a world of patterns and repetition. Fortunately this is something I learned at an early age. I saw the the patterns in my family and in relationships enough where I could usually anticipate the next step someone was going to take per se. I've also come to realize that not everybody gets this.

So this is what a real Halloween costume looks like?

If only this were real...

UPDATE: Just announced, Twilight the Game!

I remember G used to love these strips!

The other perspective...

Being Black

When it comes to being black, I've spent my entire life on the outside looking in. I was separated from my family by divorce. Separated from my peers by labels. And separated from my people by fear.

This is how it's done

Big Brother

Today is my little brother's birthday. How old is he? I don't know. In fact I only know one siblings age with absolute certainty. How crazy is that? Two brothers, two sisters, and I only know how old one of them is for sure. I never really felt that bad about it though. Growing up I wasn't really around to celebrate their birthdays with them, nor was I told how old they were. I had a million excuses to pad the feeling of guilt. That is until today. Yesterday I spoke with my dad on the phone, he told me that my little brother's birthday was today. I said something generic like "ok" or "that's cool." Didn't ask how old he was or what his number was so that I could call him, just "ok." Today around noon my phone rang with a number I didn't recognize. As usual with numbers like that, I ignored the call and let it go to voicemail. A few minutes later I checked the voicemail. It was my little brother.

This is family business...

The internet is a big place.

As you can see, I've been posting random things from the web today. I've been meaning to do this for a while, just haven't gotten to it. There are a lot of interesting things on the web, so I figure, why not share a little bit of it. Of course I'll still have my usual text post, but I like mixing things up a bit. I figure a lot of other blogs I like post things like that, so why not add a few extra things to my own little piece of the interwebs :-) Hope you enjoy! I know I do!

This is quite interesting since we're talking about women wearing head coverings in my religious studies class.

Maybe not having Mass Effect 2 isn't such a bad thing after all.

Financial Woes

"The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees. I need money"

Note to self:

Stop taking things so personally. I've got stop taking things so personally. Especially when it comes to people. New people even more. I get so uncomfortable and analyze everything. Every little thing. I don't know if analyzing things makes me care, or if I analyze things because I care. In the end I guess it doesn't matter. I need to stop, or at least scale it down a bit. Let things just be, take it for surface value. The thing about it is that I'm the only one effected by this. I'm the one racking my brain trying to figure out if what I feel is right and how I should react to it. It's my emotions that are reacting, and my mind that gets stressed. I need to stop, and I need to stop now.

Invisisble

If I say you're interesting
Then that means I'm interested
Which means that I've been thinking bout the best way to address it
Like a hypothesis I test it
I'm trying not to mess it
Up
But if I don't change the variables results won't be effected
So behind the scenes I stress it
While trying not to let it
Show
But you got me nervous girl, can you detect it?
No
Because your attentions somewhere else and you can't help it

So I'll remeain invisible to the girl who thinks she's invisible
Yeah I'm sounding cynical
But that's because I've been here before
And every time its happened things always end the same
I feel like Alicia Keys and you don't know my name
But this one could different
I won't give up just yet
My heart's my only wager, now I'm going to place the bet

Put up or shut up

Right now I'm laying in bed passing the time until Apple calls me for the interview. I had two interviews this past week and another interview Monday with the campus police. Unfortunately, I heard back from the two interviews and I did not get the jobs. I hesitate to say "unfortunately" because I want the Apple job more than any of the other ones. It'd be nice to have options though, you know?

Already?

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a conversation with my friend about relationships. Somehow I brought up the point that people don't know how to really begin new relationships. We have the tendency to want to start new relationships from the same point our old ones ended. Thus giving our new interest the same "benefits" that the old interest had, without the new interest putting in the time. It's comparable to a first year prof getting the same pay and benefits as a tenured professor, it doesn't make sense. We don't see it like that though, we want to maintain that same feeling of comfort and even security that we had in the previous relationship.

Pretty Wings

Jobs, school, and girls those have probably been the most stressful aspects of my life lately. I don't get stressed much at all for the most part, but one big stressor (getting a job) put a few chinks in my armor. Fortunately, things may be turning around :-)

I'm back for the first time

Hello world. I guess this is my diary, my journal, my way to feel that someone somewhere will be a witness to my life. The very idea of blogs can be terrifying, yet satisfying at the same time. This is a place where I will be completely honest. Completely vulnerable. I'm not inviting criticism, but I expect it. I'm not expecting praise, but it may come. I can honestly say that this is for me. This is how I will keep a record of my thoughts and my life. This is how I will remember. While this blog is for me, I won't ignore you. If you've made it this far, maybe I've piqued your interest, so welcome to my life, my world, my reality.
