Inspire

In life I believe we all have something or somethings that we believe we can excel at and I think my best asset in life is the ability to inspire others. There is no better feeling in the world than the feeling you get by hearing that you just made someones day with a simple text or compliment. I know that I love to encourage all my friends to do their best in whatever they do and when they are feeling down or upset I want to dig deep and be the person to bring the best out of them. That right there is a sense of accomplishment in itself, and life is to short to worry about the little things in life. Chuck said time waits for no man and I have to agree, we have to live for the good things in life and just wipe off the bad and just worry about making ourselves better. I have the confidence in myself to say that I believe you will not find a better friend to have around than myself because I will try and bring the best out in everyone and inspire them to shine bright. When you are feeling down ill make you smile and who else will drop whatever just to go that extra mile, I think its people like that who will make the biggest impact and people like that who you will always want to have around. Yes sometimes it has its downsides and I sometimes get used or abused for that but I believe overall the impact I made on their lives and the inspiration I instilled in them will overcome all of that. I will always be remembered in some point in your life and that also means more to me than anything. So helping others, inspiring, and impacting lives are the things that I believe I was meant to do. I try to inspire through my actions, through my words, and through others, life is what we make of it there is no time for waiting because time doesn't wait on us. We have our future in our hands, we are only as successful as we want to be so take advantage of this beautiful opportunity that we have and the moon is the limit.


Again, I believe that I can help others and will take advantage of this gift that I was given and won't be shy to help you help yourself.

Be a Coach not a Player

Don't be a Player cause a player will always get played.. Me, I was a Coach , I made the plays and decided who played on my field -JKD

In my 23 years, I have found myself having plenty of girl friends and having girls that feel that they can totally confide in me and I respect that. I am the type of person who loves helping others and having that advice to make them feel confident and comfortable and help them move forward in any situation. On the other hand I have never been the type to play any girl or even try to put myself in that situation due to the fact thats its bound to come back and hurt you in the end. Instead of having two relationships you will end up with none and make two enemies in the process and to me, thats just not a situation I wanna get wrapped up in. Along with that I believe you shouldn't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game, I know I have missed out on a few big opportunities in the past but all things happen for a reason and I know now that I have gathered the courage and strength to overcome those fears for the future. Instead of playing the game as a player, you should see things as being a coach, design a gameplan, come up with the plays, and decide which people will play on your field. You are ultimately in control of whatever it is you wanna do in life and accomplish whether that be in life or in relationships so think wisely and make wise decisions. There is heartbreak and there is happiness just make sure you design the gameplan to leave you with a happy ending. I have been through a lot of friendships and different types of situations and I know I only have room to grow and get better there is no time to get worse. So stay focused, stay determined and remember patience is the key to it all.

Holiday Season

Holiday Season couldn't come soon enough especially coming right off the heels of finals, one of the most stressful times for any college student. Being surrounded by family and friends and not having to worry about going to school for a month couldn't sound any better than it does around this time. With Christmas rolling around followed by the new year, its easy to get wrapped up in the greed and wrongfulness of worrying about what to buy or what to get for your family when really gifts aren't what is important around this time. We have grown to always think of what I want for christmas instead of worrying about spending that quality time with loved ones and ones closest to you. This year I have grown into being a better person and maturing more and more each day and I have not asked for a single thing this year nor do I expect anything. I am simply grateful to have those people in my life that are closest to me and my friends and just building lasting memories rather than material things. This is more about family time and living for the memorable nights with friends. Those are things that I will remember, not what I got for christmas in 2010 so with that being said I hope that all of you can enjoy your break with your family and/or friends and be thankful for what you do have instead of worrying about what you don't. Just think there are people that are truly happy with way less than what we have and I realize I am truly blessed for what I do have.

Also with a new year comes a new beginning, we can't change what we have done but we can change what we will do and how we do it. It's never too late to write a new tomorrow, just be sure not not rewrite the past. I know I am still growing and still getting better as a person and with that being said I hope that I do leave an impact on your life because if I don't then I have failed myself. I have learned to be a great friend and will continue to strive for perfection in that area and I hope ones closest to me can see that. I wanna move forward in the new year and as this will be my last semester at HPU, I will graduate and hopefully advance in my profession and find a career and a new home that is fitting for me. I plan to make this next year exciting and start this new chapter in my life and hopefully add new friends to my book. Think big but dream bigger, don't be afraid to risk it all.

Rejection

In life we are faced with challenges, choices, and fears but the way we take on these different situations will ultimately be the way we define ourselves. I can't speak for others but everyday I wonder if I'm making the right choices, am I doing whats best for me and my family? Am I successful? All these are things that are normal to wonder but everyday is a new beginning and a new day to take the right steps towards striving for our goals. This is my last year in school and I just wrapped up my first half of it and I managed to be pretty successful, ended up with a 3.6 GPA for the semester and overall made myself and my parents proud. Along with that I have met some pretty amazing people while being back at HPU and I am forever thankful to have been blessed with those new faces in my life. I feel as if God knew i needed a new home after angelo and he brought me back to here to further my education and exceed my capabilities. He also allowed me to cross paths with this one face that always shines brighter than the rest. Someone so much like me its unreal, everything you look for in the opposite sex and can always find a way to just lift up your day with a single smile. Just as things progressed I have finally began to notice that this could turn out into a great friendship and maybe a little more after that. You can't have a healthy relationship without a good friendship foundation, it'll never work. As things progressed I had talks with friends both guys and girls and got their input and advice and they brought to my attention that I was falling in the same boat as i have done multiple times before and missed out on countless opportunities with special people and I didnt want to wonder what if this time. I took a leap and found out it just wasn't my time. Sad, hurt, crushed, confused, angry were all feelings flooding my head but I know things happen for a reason and after a talk that lasted all night until the next morning I found out that this was just a minor speed bump but actually brought things closer with this person. Things happen in mysterious ways and to know that this person refused to let me out of her life shows me how much I really do mean and how much of an effort I have and will put in into making sure we can be as happy as we can.

Rejection is something that many people hate including myself and I am just not the type of person to usually put everything out there in fear of this to happen. I know that if you want to reach your dreams, you have to risk it all. You can't be trapped in fear your whole life and sometimes you have to do the unthinkable to manage to reach what you really want. How will you react when you do get rejected? Will you give up? Will you try to get better? Will you fix the situation? Getting up is always the hardest part but this will define and build your character and allow you to become stronger than you ever were before because you know exactly what it takes to prepare yourself for next time. This as been a learning experience and after being knocked down I know that I can get back up and know that I am not scared anymore to fall because with the friends and support all around me I know that there is help to get me back up if I can't do it on my own. Life isn't always easy and always works in the ways that we would like but we have to adjust and adapt to any and all situations that we come across.

So as I get back up and strive to better myself and work on things to make it right I tell you to not be afraid, don't hold back, I know many people are in situations similar to mine or would like to know a person as great as the person I have met and I hope that you will also try and risk everything to achieve success. Hopefully you won't have to feel that rejection but if you do know that there is always someone there to help you get back up.

Key to Happiness

I am truly blessed to have the friends and family that I do. They have impacted me on a level that is indescribable and for that I am forever grateful. You are the company you keep and so far I feel that I have done a good job in keeping the ones that remain with me today.Its always refreshing to have people you can lean in hard times and know that no matte what there are people there to help you pull through and help you get back on your feet. I'm a firm believer in being socially active but with that being said I only put my trust in the hands of a select few. Sometimes I am also blessed by coming across people that are a breath of fresh air, someone that is like you and many different ways and you would never know they are right under your nose. Money, clothes, cars, are things that some people hide behind to make them feel happy but those are just materialistic things to be trapped behind and money can't always buy happiness. Also, we tend to keep ourselves so busy we don't appreciate each day of life we are given and understand that not everyone can be in good health to enjoy those days. I am so appreciative that I am in great health, have the things that I have been provided with, and have people to enjoy life with. Enjoy the little things, enjoy the simplistic beauty that others have to offer and enjoy simple conversation because sometimes that those are the ones that are the most inspiring. I enjoy speaking with friends old and new and am grateful for the friends that I will meet and have met this year. Only God knows my future but I plan to make the most out of it with what I am provided and hopefully I can enjoy it with you. So thank you to all my friends, you know who you are, and for the new friends, I hope that i will have a lasting impression on you and if not then I am not doing my job in being a true friend.

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.

Enjoy yourself and explore life the way you never thought possible.

Final Chapter

Its been a long time coming but it is finally here, the final chapter in my school career. I have slacked off in the past which is due to my late graduation but better late than never. Its time to get a new year started with a new attitude, new determination, new focus, new visions, and make new friends. Nothing is more exciting than knowing you have become somewhat of a success in doing what not everyone is cut out to do, that is graduating. This is the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new story, I can't wait to see what the future holds but I know its bright and bold. Everything happens for a reason and I know that I have grown and matured and know that its finally my time to prove that I can do what I set my mind to. The question now is, what is next for me? Where do I begin? Where do I see myself living and starting my new beginning? There are a lot of unanswered questions but one man knows the answers to them and will unveil them to me as the time progresses. I'm glad I have not let any distractions overcome and take over and I'm still in the position I'm in to receive a great education. I wasn't sure if this is what I wanted to but know this is the first step in getting one foot out the door. So where is my destination next, Austin? San Antonio? Ft Worth/Metroplex? They all sound great and are something that I will be looking into as the school year progresses but this journey has been very scenic and I'm just sight seeing. So I hope everyone is ready to start this next journey and for those that will be right there with me this year, I am ready to explore with all of you and hope yall are ready to take things to the next level!

Thankful

I had a talk the other day with an unnamed individual and it was really eye opening as to how some parents can be so hateful and harsh. People grow up in different homes and some of them can be a little less painful than others. I am thankful for the little things like just another day of life, thankful to have the ability to walk, thankful that I can do things for myself on my own. Growing up I was always labeled as the "spoiled" kid, or the "rich" kid and anyone who really knew me knows that everything I have ever gotten for in my life was thanks to my parents working hard for me. I was never rich or anything like that, my parents just worked to get me what they never had and for that I will forever be thankful and will repay them for all their troubles in the future. I came to realize that some people don't even have the ability to pay their bills, rent, and that isnt the kids fault. So I feel for all of the people that had to grow up like that and I know that they were taught to grow up a lot faster than others do because they have to learn how to provide for themselves at an early age. I didnt have everything but I had plenty but nothing was ever just given to me, my parents taught me the value of everything I own and how to keep things in good shape and how to stay out of trouble and getting rewarded for being respectful and honest. I wouldn't trade my youth for any other in the world and just the fact that I am so close to my family and friends and that I am in great health is all I need. So thank you to anybody that has been a part of my life and continues to be there.

Livin Out A Dream

A dream is a succession of images, sounds or emotions that the mind experiences during sleep. What do you really dream about? Society today influences to dream big, dream to be rich and wealthy, dream to be successful, dream to do extravagant things but is that what really makes you happy? Does being rich buy you love and happiness? Material things can only hold you over for so long and being successful is great but does that really make someones life complete? I believe that everyday I wake up and I am thankful for another day of life. Being blessed to have a life filled with supporters and family that can help me overcome anything. I believe that life, friends and family are things that really make me complete and I wouldn't trade them for any amount of money in the world. I would rather have just a handful of true friends that I can count on than a crowd of fake people pretending to care when they are just after your wealth. Growing up in a small town really teaches you to value things a lot more than growing up in big cities where you are open to many more vicious people and surroundings. So what do you believe a dream is? I know I will continue to grow and continue to mature and bless the lives like so many others have done for me. A good friend that is looking down from above is still guiding me and continues to teach me with his lessons and strength and has taught me to never take the little things for granted. Dream big, dream small, just whatever size of dream it is, make it count for something, make it meaningful and that is the true definition of dreaming.

Pain

Without pain we would never know how to experience the joys in the world. Sometimes it takes rainy, stormy days to see the sunlight that comes after. No one lives a perfect life and even people that feel like they have it all cover it up with material things to bury whats really eating at them. Clothes can't cover up emotions and bottling up emotions can only be there for so long before the bottle leaks out. Pain can come from stress, emotions, relationships, friendships .... but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and builds the character we carry ourselves with. Some people learn to walk around and look like everything is picture perfect but in reality they are being torn inside. Never feel like your in a worse position than someone else because you may not know what really be going on with someone. Be sure to always be there for your friends and even if its just reaching out to them every once in a while do so to show you have their back and you are a supporter anytime. Bad days are occasionally blessings in disguise, you never know when one door that closes may open up something bigger and better. We don't always know whats best for us be these doors are clues to our destiny. I know I struggle, I stress, and I have days where the pain feels like it will never wash away but at the end of the day I know I have people that have my back no matter right or wrong and will help me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Never let a woman/man do you wrong, have respect for yourself and for how you deserve to be treated. Don't search for that drama queen or bad boy that you feel you can change and be that person that finally turned them around because I promise you 95% of the time that will never work. Don't drag yourself through the mud and go through the pain and troubles of that, just search for that guy/girl who really can bless your life and keep things moving forward. So don't get impatient even when it takes too long, patience is a virtue. Things take time so be ready because it is worth the wait. Never settle for less, there is always someone that will complete you. Until that day comes I will continue walking in my same path and waiting for that intersection to come.

Confidence

"Confidence is a stain you can't wipe off" -Weezy. Someone people confuse being confident for being cocky. Everyone has different opinions and they are entitled to what they think. I believe that there is a thin line between the two but if balanced right, I think that you can achieve great things. If you aren't confident in yourself, who else will be confident in you? I know that having the right mindset and the way you carry yourself helps define who you are. Take yourself back that the days where you came across that one guy/girl who you wished you had the courage to go up to and ask them on a date, how would things of changed now? Or take yourself back to when you had a relationship where you once thought you had it all but there always is that one person that makes you second guess your motives, what if you would of been single or had the confidence to take that leap of faith with that one person. Where would you be now? How would life be for you now? Would they have accepted? Having confidence and the right mentality can take you places that you would of never thought possible. I know I have missed out on countless others where I felt that if I had the chance again, things would be way different. You can't go back and rewrite the past but you can be sure to make the future a masterpiece. I know that I have to be cautious about people I meet in the future and to be sure to not let great opportunities slip through my fingers. Don't hold back because you're scared, if you don't take great risks you will never receive great rewards. Confidence can stem down to job opportunities, girls/guys, money, power, school, anything you can think of. Be sure not to let yourself get into my position and wish you did things differently. I am only 23 years of age and I have only previewed a sample of whats to come, and I know there are going to be bigger and better things that align with my path and I am ready to make the most of what is put before me. Be confident and be determined and greatness will come before you know it.

Moments

In life we go through moments that define who we are and moments that are life changing. Everyone can recall a time when you take yourself to when you have a rough day or just a place to go to for comfort. Moments help us to have lasting memories with the people close to us or ones who were close to us at one point. Destiny has an interesting way of placing people along your path to ensure you learn how to grow and learn how to adjust to any obstacles that may come your way. Moments help us learn, help us adapt, and help us remember things that once were. Nothing lasts forever, there may have once been a person that you thought you would be with forever, or a friend who you felt would have an impact on you for the rest of your life but is now not that friend they once were. People never stop changing, just make sure the changes you go through are for the better and be sure to place yourself with positive people who can help you continue to move forward. Friends come and go but the ones who stay are the ones who you can count on when things really get tough. I know I share plenty of moments with my friends and they aren't just like any friends they are more like brothers I can count on. There are plenty of girls that have I have been friends with that are also very positive ones to have, ones who don't judge, ones who don't criticize, and ones who just want the best for me. These people know who they are, I don't like to associate with fake people so if you feel you fall into this category then you will be seeing less of me. I know I have impacted many people as well both my friends, family, and girlfriends, and I know that if I have not yet impacted your life yet, that I will at some point in time. I push people to achieve what I feel they deserve. I have been blessed to have many positive people here with me, and I will never take a second of your time for granted. Life is too short to worry about where you rank with people, what's hot right now, your economic status, just live and be thankful for what you have and not worry about what you don't have. I am thankful for the moments I have endured so far and wish to continue to make lasting impressions on my circle of friends, and friends I will make in the future. I'm sorry for my absence and this is just some randomness of the day and I just felt that I would share it with everyone. I hope you all have moments that you won't forget, and I hope that I will share moments with you and that you will never forget me.

Better Than Good Enough

MTV Shows

MTV has decided to cover the rise to fame of one of the most gifted, influential, talented artist that music has seen today. Drake isnt afraid to live and share it with others and keeps his life open and honest and it relates with many people today and thats why his music is so catchy. On wednesday June 23 at 9pm MTV will air Drakes Better Than Good Enough documentary of when he was on the road for his 'Away From Home Tour' which was very successful. June 15th marked the day of his first studio album, Thank Me Later and even with all the negative attention people are trying to give it, its actually a classic in its own right. Its more of a follow up to the story he was trying to tell with So Far Gone. So if you're a fan of Drake or a fan of good music that comes with a story go and support Drizzy and buy a copy of Thank Me Later.

Thank Me Later

Drakes highly anticipated debut album Thank Me Later is set to release tomorrow and needless to say I will be getting it tomorrow. Already with his first studio album they are talking about how this guy is considered to be able to join the Million in a week group which only includes about a 2 or 3 people including Lil Wayne, Eminem. This is not something that comes by as an easy task especially with how people are these days and also the recession. No one buys albums anymore including myself but this is one that has quality music and one that acutally interests me. With blogs, bootleggers, and leaks it is hard to sell a whole album and esepcially a million of them in a week. Em sold 600,000 last time with Relapse and when big names like that only sell so much its hard for a "rookie" in the game to top that. Jay Z sold around 470,000 with his last release and 50 selling about 170,000 ish with his last. It will be interesting to see what his actual total will be but hopefully he stays successful, no pun intended. Go show your support for great music and grab yourself a Thank Me Later album.

Drake- July

July off of Thank Me Later due out June 15

[Drake's Verse]
Yeah,
Uh, This verse start’s as my sniper hits they mark
And your guards fall down from a rifle to the heart
Like, clap, clap, let em fall slow
I know you had your fears, you can let em all go
And most woman are motivated so I act accordingly
But this is so refreshing that it means a little more to me
Dedicating time when I really can’t afford to be
I provide protection if you open up the door for me
Couple stairs
Couple text
Couple dates
Couple I think that we’re readys
Couple I think that we should we waits
Are we acting like a couple
I’m just trying to get it straight
Cuz I’m over convinced cuz it’s too early for mistakes

[Chorus]
Ohhhh, you had to change up the game
Ohhh, the weather is not the same
Now there’s only cloudy days
Can’t stand the rain in July
Oh July
Let the fireworks explode
Exploding
Now it’s getting colder
Leaves are turning color
Why?
It’s just not our season
The one and only reason
Baby oh Baby oh
Our summer turned into fall

[Drake’s Verse]
Damn, tell me where did all the magic go
I followed the rules and told you everything you had to know
Had you over every night
Everynight was passionate
Plus, you met my mother even if it was an accident
I’m confused tell me where we go wrong
I was sure that I would be with you for so long
I was planning on this on being something worth mentioning
Energy invested in someone I saw potential in
Who kills chivalry They need to get they sentence in
Meanwhile we arguing and I can’t get a sentence in
And just as I predicted here we go again
They always say the hottest love has the coldest end

[Chorus]
Ohhhh, you had to change up the game
Ohhh, the weather is not the same
Now there’s only cloudy days
Can’t stand the rain in July
Oh July
Let the fireworks explode
Exploding
Now it’s getting colder
Leaves are turning color
Why?
It’s just not our season
The one and only reason
Baby oh Baby oh
Our summer turned into fall
See, it’s funny cuz
I never thought this would end
But then the season changed

[Chorus]
You are my, You are my, You are my love
Should remain, Should remain, you are my love
I surely did everything to make you happy baby,
Oh yeah
Can’t wait for, Can’t wait for, Can’t wait for springtime
And I will turn into a butterfly,
I will spread my wings and Fly……
And I’m too fly for this shit
Ohhhha wooooh…

Happy Mothers Day (Sunday)

This is a very special day to not only mothers but also to their children for showing them how much they appreciate everything their moms have done for them and will continue to do for them in the future. I don't possibly know where to start with my mom, she has been there for me each and every single day and no matter what I do or what I get myself into she has my back 200%. For that I am so very thankful to have a mom like that in my life and she has blessed our family so so much. She grew up not having everything she wanted and she had the mindset to get me and my sister most of what we wanted without even asking for it, I can ever show how thankful I am for that but I will continue to make her proud and be successful so in the future I can return the favor and so much more. I have been labeled in the past as a "Mama's Boy" but thats fine, shows the love I have for her and my family to respect her and make her happy. Even helps me grow and show how to appreciate a woman for my future relationships and know that one day she will be a mother of my children and how much she will bless the next generation of my family. She has taught me so much and I will never stop learning. Go and show your mom how much you appreciate her, not just on this one day but also the other 364 days of the year because she would do the same for you! With that being said Mom I love you and thank you so much for all you have done and will continue to do.




Show your love to your mom this weekend and let her know you are there for her and she is always needed in your life!

LIFE

Sometimes life throws you curve balls and you don't know where to swing

Will you adapt to new beginnings or stick to the same thing

Tomorrow is never promised so I make the best of today

Live life to the fullest and live it your own way

Everyday there are new decisions but how will you react

Will you keep progressing and moving foward or keep turning back

The sky is the limit but how high are you willing to go

Are you living in the fast lane or reminiscing and taking it slow

Never let others think for you because what do they really know

Are they steering you down the wrong path or keeping their eyes on the road

Life is full of pressures but don't let them tear you down and destroy

Sometimes you feel like you're at the bottom, without pain there is no joy

Life runs full circle so be careful what you do

What you do onto others might be done onto you

Seize the day and don't be scared to share your journey

And remember sometimes the best things in life are free






Just some random thoughts of the day...

Mike Posner ft The Brain Trust & Big Sean

Mike Posner has honestly grown on me besides his raspy voice and all his producing skills is undeniable. He works well with this years soon to be rookie of the year Big Sean. Regardless Mike knows how to make music and make hit songs and its about time he gets radio recognition.



I give it to you Chuck, he has grown on me.

The Cleveland Show ft. Kenny West (aka Kanye West)

Kanye West pics up the mic again and drops a heated rap battle with Cleveland Jr. "Kenny West" thinks he is a big shot and thinks he serves Clevenland Jr. but actually turns out to be better competition than he had hoped for. They battle it out and actually turn it into a collab and become friends at the end.

I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I bet if i give all my love
then nothings gonna tear us apart

I’m more than just a number
Hey, Hey, Hey
I doubt you’ll find another
Hey, Hey, Hey

I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart

Hey, Hey, Hey

I guess being right takes too long
I’m done waiting, theres nothing left to do

I better find your lovin
I bet if I give all my love,

I bet if I give all my love,

[End]




Drake really went in on this song. He showed his diversity by not only being able to rap and mix in singing but to sing on a whole track and arguably make this the best r&b song of the summer. Kanye of course makes a unique sounding beat that just gives this song a really chill relaxing vibe and its almost 808's & Heartbreak sounding. Almost has a robocop feel but a tad more upbeat but regardless this song is something anyone can relate too, guy or girl. People who dont appreciate real music will write this off but this has more meaning and music is one of the best ways to express emotion. I have heard this song nonstop since it dropped and I know I wont be the only one.

Drake- "Find Your Love" (produced by Kanye West)

Drake released another song off of Thank Me Later called "Find Your Love" and since Kanye produced it, it has a major 808's & Heartbreak feel to it. Of course Drake can go R&B and sing with or without autotune I think he does pretty well on this song. Again like i've said before people won't like it at first but it will be in the ipod for sure.

Los Spurs!

Tonight is game 5 of the Spurs/Mavs series and to me I think it has been the most heated rival series and most competitive, not just because the spurs are in it. Every game has been close and both sides have gone on 17-0 runs and came back to keep it close every game until the final minutes in the 4th. Spurs have shown how they are a strong hearted team and you can never count them out. Even though their age has shown in some of the games, they have other big time players that have shown up like George Hill and DeJuan Blair who lit up game 4. Its going to be an exciting game tonight especially because its win or go home for the Mavs. Hard for any team to come back from being down 3-1 and especially against an experienced spurs team. NBA decided to put one of the best games on tonight on NBAtv so many wont get to see the game but hopefully there will be some place showing it tonight so be prepared to watch hopefully a spurs victory and allows them to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Go show your support for your team but remember GO SPURS GO!

Chris Brown ft. Tyga- Holla @ Me

Chris Brown is back at it with his rapping style and he teamed up with Young Money's Tyga Tyga. Kind of different from Chris brown but he has started rapping on a few more tracks like Drakes ransom where he freestyles with Rock City. Its a good look but definitely away from his fan base. Definitely tried to pull off two different Jordan series shoes, One is the oreo 6 and one is the bred 11. Of course Chris is tearing it up dancing because he is a genius in that sense but see what ya think.

Go Spurs Go!

Well its that time of the year again where everyone is sitting around a tv somewhere whether it be at home, friends, BWW or some time of sports bar but its NBA Playoff 2010 time. Its kind of good and bad though because people come out of the wood works with favorite teams that I didnt know they were a fan of until the playoffs come around. Its time for the bandwagon fans (Lakers, Celtics) who usually are the teams that everyone loves right about now. Either way I will admit I do like watching Kobe and LeBron play because they are the two best in the game right now but as far as going for the Lakers, not a chance. Spurs are behind right now 0-1 to the Dallas Mavericks, with the second game coming on tonight. Hopefully they pull it out because their BIG 3 (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili) are getting up there in age but then again so are the two heavy impact players for the Mavs (Dirk & Kidd). If there was a team that knows how to play under pressure that would be the Lakers and the Spurs, hence the reason that those two teams share 8 of the last 11 championships, splitting 4 a piece. That shows that they have been there and know how to win rings so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the playoffs will play out. Get ready for the game tonight because I'm sure they are gonna come with it tonight!





GO SPURS GO! Hopefully the series will be tied 1-1 and take it back to San Antonio.

NBA 2010 Playoff Kicks

These are the new KD II "Home" edition and these are soooo crazy! Can't wait for these to be released because these are definitely going to the added to the collection soon






These are also the new KD II "Aways" Pretty much all black but with a BIG version of the KD initials with hints of blue and orange. He brought these out yesterday and we'll see if these hit the shelves as well.





These are the new LeBron VII Postseason or "Playoff Home" edition and are very similar to the Jordan Concords. These are the only postseason pair that I like so far but its early in the playoffs so no telling what else is coming out.







The Kobe V "Kid Hollywoods" are pretty nice as well. Yet to be released but should def consider it soon.

Drizzy bagging up 2 Juno Trophies

Aside from winning trophies for new artist of the year and rap recording of the year (for his EP, "So Far Gone"), Drake also took the stage for a blistering - and blue - performance of his new single, "Over," for a backing role on 16-year-old Justin Bieber's tune, "Baby," and for K'naan's show-closing "Wavin' Flag."




"Please put away the cameras, we just in the club getting MC-hammered," Drake rapped. "God forbid I ever trade the wisdom for the glamour / I know I'm just a boy that a woman could make a man of/ So make me one, I know that she could make me one/ I just want a woman that looks 30 when she's 81/ Please don't give it all away, I hope that she could save me some/ Justin, why don't you tell them where your baby's from?"

Shots Shots Shots!

Well its been a little bit since I've blogged so what better way to do so than to cover what happened last night. Well being absent on here was due to a very stressful week with two tests yesterday but since that is over with it was time to go for a normal dinner with some friends and maybe one or two drinks with our meal. Guess again, Buffalo Wild Wings was the spot and when this group of friends get together lol madness usually follows, especially at BWW. Well a few drinks and wings turned into LMFAO's spring break anthem, Shots Shots Shots Shots Shots, EVERYBODY! K10 thought it would be a good idea to mention the thought of getting 1 round of shots, well 1 turned into 6, not to mention the 4 or 5 pints before that. Needless to say that led to a great night at BWW and a little adventure hike from there to Rosa's. A nameless friend is walking beside me and a few steps later is missing, I turn and look and a faceplant and a face looking at me saying Mike, the grass is wet, hahaha what a night, but that was the first of many falls for these two friends. Rosa's turned into about a 15 min laugh session and the hike back was just as interesting! Well finally ended up at FB downtown and that turned into a 5 min appearance. Epic night with great friends, just shows how good of a time it is when the old school angelo place neighbors are around. Well it is def frowned upon to be that out of control by 10 pm on a Thursday but oh well, only young once. Well I hope you all had a great night like I did and if not I hope yall have a great weekend because im sure I will. Double D is in town so that usually leads to some craziness as well.



Be safe and have fun.

Wedding/Weekend Recap

Well the day Julio had been waiting for finally happened. We had a great time getting ready for his wedding and we had a long journey up until that point. Something about being around all your closest friends and family is so refreshing and puts you at ease. Seems like nothing else mattered at that moment and the looks on everyones faces as we all shared that special evening. Had a great time at rehersals and a great meal afterwards thanks to Section Hand Steak House. We also had a great time in Abilene on Friday night as we added a few more memories to a wild ride that we've already attained. Saturday came along and man everyone was going crazy with picture after picture after picture and rushing to get ready and make sure everything looked right and went well but it was all worth it in the end. After the ceremony it was on to the reception and my turn to give my wedding toast. I practiced and practiced and still go so nervous and I'm sure it didn't sound as well as I had planned but it still moved the audience. For those who didnt get to hear it here is what it said...


It's an honor to be the best man for Julio today, because ever since I've known him he has been one of the best men and friends I could ask for. We grew up together and became more like brothers, Well I decided to do something a little different for everyone so here it is.

We started off as teens, thinking we knew it all
Had each others backs, and would both take the fall
Plenty of road trips along the way, but its just part of lifes journey
Drove our parents crazy, but not the type to make them worry
He met a girl named Kimberly, and I knew she was the one
6 1/2 years later, the real celebrations have begun
We grew up as a family, shared a lot of memories
I have always been a witness, now its time to let the world see
I wish you guys a great future, and in perfect health
Full of happiness, and showered with wealth
May it also contain tears of joy followed by tons of laughter
This is the end of one story, but the beginning of a new chapter!


Someone once told me "Dont ask a man whats important to him, but watch how he spends his time" I've watched Julio spend his time and I know what's important to him and that is Kimberly. With that being said I love the both of you and and lets toast to this special day.



After all that we had fun dancing and letting loose enjoying the night. After Julio and Kim enjoyed their evening I caught up with some other friends and had a few drinks and laughs with them. Sunday was very relaxing and headed back over to a friends house and watch a movie like every sunday when im home. All in all it was a great time at home and look forward to being around everyone again soon.

Drake Over Video

Drake finally dropped a video to go with his Over song. Like I said before it really grows on people after the first listen but he adds a video thats very different and gives a wide variety of visual effects go go along with it. The video takes place in a room where he is sitting on the edge of the bed and is thinking about these two completely opposite women. It's kind of like a bad dream but there is one girl who is more wholesome and one girl who is more seductive and slightly evil. The video shows struggles of going back and forth between the purities in his past life and what this new life with fame has to offer. He says with the ending of the album, you will be able to tell which side he picks.
