Goodbye

I guess this is the end.
goodbye to you my friend
your choice has been made
A friendship that will fade.
We have many regrets
but over time we'll both forget.
We took separate ways
forgetting all these painful days.
somehow i knew
that this friendship be true.

Good bye my friend.

Knowing someone

You think you really know someone,
but in reality, you only know what you see.
You cant get past whats in front of you
without knowing the kind of person you are.
People that judge by what they see
Know aboslutely nothing about me.

Another Face

Another face in the crowd
Many people in this crowd
These faceless faces all around.
Their voices are all screaming loud.
Yet a whisper is never to be found.
Many eyes that tend to stare
but see the world without a care.
these strangers tend to blend in
hiding their true selves once again.
Face once in this crowd forgotten.

To all those people forgotten, R.I.P.

2008 Olympics

I'm not really into the Olympic games but in the news on TV and online i read the headlines. Most of those news headlines and articles are about Micheal Phelps, an Olympic swimmer who is getting very popular he had already broken a few records. People from Hollywood have recently been offering him jobs and stuff. Its kind of crazy if you think about it getting famous from swimming. It must feel pretty good knowing your the best at what you do. the Olympic games come around once every four years, well by then newer younger faster people will replace the athletes of today and that's how it always been and will continue to be. We each will be replaced somehow some day.

Sucess

Success is always at our grasp, but many of us choose not to. We shorten out success with failure after failure and just giving up. But what if we take these failures pause and look at what we did wrong. eventually the failures would become our power to success. learning from our mistakes and taking the initiative to learn from it is what will guarantee us a true success, even if its just trying our best at fixing what we did wrong. Half of the battle is giving up right at the start.

Escaping into another world

When I play video games I escape into a world that is already set for you. You play as the character, feeling frustrated angry when you cant seem to win the level. You get so immersed into the game the virtual reality seems to fade away and reality disappears.At this is the point when the game is no longer a game it become the alternate reality where you don't worry what goes on in real life. This is kind of scary having a dream like this but never waking up. This would be a nightmare not ever being able to snap out of a game. Its is a scary thought when you really get to think about it. Now imagine this what if when you played a first person shooter game that would really be you. If you died in the game you would really die in real life. At what point is a game no longer a game??

THe downfalls of family

Its sad to see when families fall apart before you very eyes. Youd wish you can do something but instead you feel useless watching it all unfold before you. Many families fall apart after a death,incidents, finacial problems or grudges between each other. I highly value a strong united family but at times it seems families have problems that needs to be worked amongst each other. My family is not too perfect but we seem to have our ups and downs i think thats normal, but what do i know its the only family i have.

Love

Love is a basic need humans constantly are searching for. We look for the right person, to get married, have kids and live a live with nothing but love. The only problem with love its more complicated once you are in love. You worry about your partner or spouse being faithful all the time, you worry about the fights leading to a break up or divorce. This human need of wanting someone to care, worry, be there, and love you is never the easiest thing. I think that love is blind because when you are in love those weird emotions don't let you see past whats in front of you.

Restricted freedomS of society

We live in a country where we are "free". Yet our freedom has restrictions to it. I don't think we are free at all we are brainwashed in a society that chooses for you what is normal or not. Our minds are set in a way where we follow the crowd which in fact it would be nice to see someone go against the crowd and establish a newer scence of freedom. It is kind of strange knowing, that with out knowing it we do as we are told in this society that has many higher people in power than you. but what can we do. Not much just keep following.

Our earths concerns

Everyone now a days are more and more concern with our earth, its like they re finally waking up to the serious issues. Global warming, pollution, recycling are just some issues that people are taking more serious and its good to know that people are waking up to this change. every tiny thing you do like recycling that soda bottle, hey it can get you about 5 cents and it can add up probably enough for a tank of gas. well i guess thats just me. but its good to start off small then going big like recycling then moving toward solar panels on your roof it too can save you money from you electric bills. i guess its being cheap but being cheap adds up in the future.

Summer is Practically over

Summer is practically over, it about time anyways. The summer heat will go away and fall is going to come. My summer vacation was really short, i only had about a month and its back to school. well i cant really complain, school is fun but its also a lot of work. i cant wait until i get another break to relax and have fun. Well fall is problaby a betterseason because the leaves change colors and in my opion it looks better than everything beeing so green. Winter is my favotite seaon becase thats when we head out to the mountains to the snow and eat pies.

The Beach

This Past weekend I went to the beach with my family. It was fun but not as fun with a workload on my mind. I tired to relax and have a good time. I rode my longboard (skateboard) on the side walks and streets. I was cruising down hills at some good fast speed. it was kind of dangerous when riding toward intersections at high speeds but it as fun and thrilling like the feeling you get when you Ride to top of a roller coaster and then suddenly hit the drop. I also decided to dig a preety good hole i would say it wa about six feet deep and a diameter of 4 feet. i was tied from the digging and soar afterwards. It was a lond day so i took a long nap on the beach. and we all left around 5 in the afternoon. it was a good day, cause i slept real long that night.

BIG TRANSITION

My first few weeks of college have not been to easy. I guess the transition from high school to college is quite difficult but its still achievable. I remember high school was really easy its quite pathetic seeing other students give up so easily. In high school all you needed to to was do your work, you really didnt need to be smart or anything like that. Students often confused intelligence with hard work, I wasnt smart all i did was the required work to pass. College is the same thing but theres more precise and complex work that needs to be done. I really need to step up my game now i think i might be getting a bit lazy, that is not really an excuse to me its just a flaw that must be worked on. I need to make that transition from high school to college or im not going to make it.

The all nighters

Have you ever had one of those all nighters where you stay up all night working on something that you must get done. I really hate those nights they are very tiring and its big hassle when you wake up in the morning. it fells like you are still drowsy and still you must get up. Once you get through a week of those sleepless nights its impossible to get anything done. You can try and try but sleep will prevent you from getting anything done during the day. I like normal people would be stressed out from working all night, sleep and food are the only things that regulate our energy levels throught the day. i think that having an Eight hour rest is important especially in todays hecktic society.

What is art?

Art is a way of life, full of the creative spirit that lingers in the artist.
It is the passion that drives the artists soul to create a masterpiece.
Art is something you do just because you can do anything.
It is the blood that runs through our veins that gives us a purpose.
Art is that graffiti on the wall that no one likes to see their neighborhood.
it is of the foulest most disturbing images that go unappreciated.
Art isn't just a part of our everyday life, but it is everywhere everyday.
it is a part of me........................................................................

College is tougher than high shcool

I was in a bit of shock after the first week in college. I noticed the workload piling up! Wow! I need to really get organized, and i have to start managing my time better. I can achieve this i think that college would get easier on me. The only problem for me is i have never been organized, somehow i get everything done in my head by prioritizing assignments, work, projects, im not sure that would be a smart method fo me now that im in college. College is too expensive for me to fail. I was reading this one book taht came with my school suplies called the The Art Student Survival Guide by Jeffrey K Otto, that is very interesting and helpful book but Ill need to put the effort to survive in that school.

My New (Used) CAR!!!

I am finally driving! I can finally go to school without a ride from someone else or my parents. It does give me a scence of more freedom. But i still get nervous at times when im on the road. The fear of a deadly accident never leaves my mind. I was honestly terrified of driving because my uncle Marcelino and cousin Andy died in a car accident. I felt really sad and depressed you see, my cousin Andy was'nt only my cousin he was also my godfather, he was the one present at time of my baptism which is a big deal. Me and him were really close, so everytime i drive i think about both of them. when i went to his funeral i remember my tia (aunt) Carmen crying as well as the family there. There was alot of sadness and sorrow that day. The last memory of my Uncle and cousin alive was at a park they were sitting next to each other having a good time with the family. Well my cousin (godfather) Andy gave a 20 dollar bill I remember saying thank you to him that day. That moment hit me hard when i was a his funeral, remembering that generousity and kindness that one last time. Well the point is that driving to me is like an obstacle or speed bump in my life, which is why having this new car is a big deal to me.

First day @ Ai

My first day at my new school. Its is college not high school anymore. Somehow it seems more serious getting a bad grade if you are paying money out of your wallet for that class. well anyways i walked in i was kind of lost. i asked this one guy probably a chef instructor for help. this guy not only helped me out but he showed me the right building. i was very greatful for that. the moment i walked into class it felt a bit nervewreking. i noticed many people starring as i walked in. i thought to myself "oh crap! this isnt it." but the teacher said "i think you are in the right place". So i took a seat in the front row at the very end. i felt very confortable in the school i felt like i was welcomed like i belonged. but i still didnt really know anyone yet.
