Stress Less

Well I have been away for a few days but thats all do to school, work, and figuring out what it is I'm going to say for the wedding toast. Summer couldn't get here any faster but needless to say I am definitely ready for it. Hasn't been to long since spring break but I could for sure use another vaction get away. School seems never ending and just as soon as I think I get a break for the day it seems like I'm right here back at work and the day just continues. Makes the weeks go by faster but it seems like I never get any time for myself. Oh well, life of a college student right? I guess I'm not really in a hurry to get out of here, well I am and I say that now but from what all my graduated friends say, stay in! Being grown definitely has its ups and downs but I guess thats just life in general. What do I wanna do when I graduate? Where do I see myself? Where will I be? All questions that haunt me everyday but I know that I will get through it all and just have to stay positive and focused and good things will come my way. Where does the time go? Seems like yesterday I was with a group of my friends all living together and the time just flys by and now they are all on their own way and seems like I hardly hear from a lot of them. Well I am glad to see one of my best friends take the next step in his relationship and life in general and finally tie the knot. I do miss the house we used to have and when we all lived together but I'm glad he is doing well with his career and taking steps to become that big boss so he can slide me some money here and there haha! I guess I'm ready to figure out what I want to be, What it is that I'm best at, to be truely happy you have to do something that you're not just good at but something you're great at. I really hope this school pays off because I want to have my own business someday and something that works with people because I'm great with people. Definitely want to be some where in the ft worth/dallas area or maybe austin/san antonio area but we'll see how things play out and hopefully things go the way I want.




Just a big of randomness for the day, but stress less and enjoy yourself when you get a chance, and if you dont get a chance, make time lol.

This Weeks Sneeks

So I made a couple of pick ups this week to add to the collection. The Air Jordan Silver Anniversary 3, It's so hard to keep all white shoes but the design and the comfort of these shoes are very fitting. The elephant print around the toe and heel really set this off for me and they accented the shoe with the matching elephant print laces. Hard to tell from the pictures but on this shoe there is kind of a patent leather material around the shoe and it shines so well in the light. A must have for any sneakerhead and I decided I needed a new pair of all whites. Hard to keep clean but luckily I have so many pairs I wont have to wear them much and less likely to get as dirty.





The Air Jordan "Oreo" 6. I love the splatter paint on the bottoms and accents of the shoe and not only that but I'm a big fan of black and white shoes. In need of a pair of shoes in that color I decided to go with this shoe because the design is so retro but fresh at the same time. I'm not a big fan of the entire 23 series but there are a few that I really do like. The 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 11s, 12s are about the only ones I do like so I'm on my way to getting each of those. But again, these are just a couple of pick ups for the week, might be posting a video of my entire collection that I have with me, but will missing some from back home.

Happy Easter Weekend

Well its that time of the year and April has officially rolled around. Where did the past three months go? Well no looking back, only looking towards the future and man how I wish I could be at home like everyone else. Well thats the life of working in banking, sure you get holidays off on random days but not when it really counts. Off of school for Good Friday and still having to work. Oh well, my bank account will thank me later. But to all those who get to be home early, I hope yall have a blessed time with your loved ones and cherish the time you get to spend with them. Kind of feels like saturday at work, everyone thinks we are closed and I would have to say I would agree with them, I wouldn't mind not having to work today. Well looks like another slow day here at work followed by a slow morning tomorrow. Well again I would just like to say Happy Easter to everyone and I will get to enjoy my weekend tomorrow after noon when I'll be headed back home to be with the ones I love.




Have a Great Weekend, Happy Easter! Drive safe and Enjoy yourself!

Wedding Toast

Where does the time go? Seems like yesterday we met and were tearing up the wood in middle school together. I turn around and next thing I know I'm in the position of making a wedding toast next weekend on April 10th. I couldn't be more happy for my best friend, taking the next step in his life and taking things to the next level. I knew the time was coming but its crazy how fast it got here. I can remember the day he told me he was ready to drop that question, a blink of an eye later the day is around the corner. Sometimes I question his thinking, for example, we were at the house chillin as usual, and.....

J: Yo Mike you wanna go with me to the mall and help me pick out a ring?

Me: Yeah just let me throw on some shoes

J: (on the way) Man I can't believe Im about to do this

Me: Yeah its crazy but we knew this was coming

J: Let me call moms and see what the price range is

Me: LOL alright you know moms always knows best

J: (at the store) What kind do you think I should get?

Me: Man I really like this one, I'm into the new design and the newer look.

J: Nah thats too different, I like the more traditional look.

Me: How are you gonna ask me to come help you and you already have your mind set on a type lol?

J: Just keep looking

Me: Alright, what about this one?

J: Nah, I like these two over here

Me: Man like I said, how am I supposed to help?




Well I'm sure if you have been around us we are pretty much like brothers so we like a lot of the same stuff but man can we argue about random stuff at the same time. I guess thats what makes it work out so well is that our styles and personalities compliment each other well. People know being roommates with friends can usually turn out sour if you aren't dedicated to it but we didnt ever really have any problems in that situation. Back to the topic though, this isn't a normal task, this is something that is going to be remembered on that big day, you have the spotlight on you for that moment, how do I react to it? How do you fit like 10 plus years of friendship and memories in a 2-3 minute wedding toast? How can you possibly highlight everything I've witnessed with this guy and his fiance over that time that they have been together? So many thoughts are flowing but I have to make it fit just right. Have to make it memorable and not just another speech that everyone doesn't listen to or remember. Well just some questions that I will have to answer over the next week and hopefully it turns out great. I won't settle for less than that so I now have my work cut out.





So please fill free to drop by suggestions or thoughts because two minds are better than one.

Women Lie, Men Lie Pt 2

Ok so over the weekend I was at a friends house and of course we had to have some people over. Well drinks were flowing and people were conversating so I took it upon myself to dig a little deeper on the issue and as I was on the couch talking to three different girls I asked them to answer the same question, in their own way without interrupting the others. Truths always come out better this way.




Me: So Why is it that the girl always is overly attracted to the bad guy when all girls "want a good guy?"

Girl 1: Girls always want what they can't have (typical answer). I like to try to change that person and hope they end up becoming a better person.

Me: If he continues to hurt you, what makes you want to stay there to change this person, they are going to continue to be who they are at this point, if they haven't changed by now its highly unlikely they will.

Girl 2: (currently in a relationship) I have a good guy and I'm glad I found him and in fact I'm so ready to marry him.

Me: Well I'm ready to see yall get married as well and I really am glad yall found each other.

Girl 3: It's all about the chase, I enjoy the thrill of being with someone thats not a goody goody, someone who doesn't always have to do whats right, someone who is spontaneous.

Me: So you would stay with someone who did all of that but what happens when he continues to hurt you? make you go through all the BS, and sneak off behind your back? Is it worth it then? Are all of the tears and stress worth that thrill and chase? Or would you like to have a good healthy relationship with a guy who is fit for you and makes your day better instead of destroys it?



Again I know plenty of people love that chase and thats fine, but again next time you find yourself in that situation, fall back and analyze the person and think of the pros and cons and see which one outweighs the other. I know I would much rather have someone who was there for me and had my back no matter what and not have to worry about what they are doing and who they were with. Good Girls always win over with me but finding that person is the hard thing. I guess when they say opposites attract, they weren't talking about interests or personalities, they were talking about how usually you find a good girl with a bad guy and a good guy with a bad girl. Its funny how things play out but that is life, the ball is in your court, so what are you going to do with it? Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it so how will you react?

Diggy Simmons

Ok so I'm sure most people have heard of or seen the Mtv reality show Run's House. Legendary artist Rev Run hosts the show with his family and shows how they live and issues along the way. Well with the show he introduced his family and one of the sons in particular sticks out. Of course most would think the oldest son JoJo, but after getting negative publicity with getting caught with drugs, and having an average group call Blackout, he definitely lost a lot of fans and followers. Well stepping out of the shadow was the second oldest son, "Diggy", who is always wearing the newest clothes, shoes, and accessories. His idol, Pharrell, has been helping him out in making his new clothing line. Not only is Diggy into fashion and kicks, but he is also now part of Atlantic records. He just inked his deal last Monday, but already has out a mixtape called First Flight. I guess he is trying to follow Drake's footsteps and aim high with a mixtape. He was the first to make a freestyle over Drake's "Over" entitled "Just the Beginning" and then his best freestyle in my opinion "Made You Look" over one of Nas' beats. He went in on this track and made a pretty interesting video overlooking the city of New York. So check him out and see what you think of this 15 yr old.
