Us living as we do upside down.  And the new word to have is revolution.  People don't even want to hear the preacher  spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued.  And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey.  The youngsters who were programmed to continue  fucking up woke up one night digging  Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys.  America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes. The signs of Truth were tattooed across our open ended vagina.  We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal.  Two long centuries buried in the musty vault,  hosed down daily with a gagging perfume.  America was a bastard the illegitimate daughter of the mother country  whose legs were then spread around the world  and a rapist known as freedom, free doom.  Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names  that preceded the bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling  in the mother country's crotch What does Webster say about soul? All I want is a good home and a wife and a children and some food to feed them every night. After all is said and done build a new route to China if they'll have you. Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America?

Maturity,

2010-12-20T00:23:00.001-08:00

I think the more you mature, you start to look at things with a different eye, in a different light. You start to understand more, but only when you're open to understanding. You appreciate books, art, people, music, knowledge, friendships, and more. The NAKED eye will comprehend where I'm coming from. Shit isn't one sided anymore...I guess I can say that's the beauty of life.

The Element of Freedom

2010-12-13T02:47:00.000-08:00

I think "Freedom" is a very powerful, controversial word.It can cause Civil Wars, raise fists, being people together & also tear them apart. You have people who believe Freedom is being able to do whatever the fuck they want, you have people who think Freedom only pertains to Slavery, you have people who believe there's no such thing as Freedom, except Free-Doom, and then you have people like me...who believe the element of Freedom is a figment of our own minds, a seed, still waiting for the word to fully blossom before us. But that's where the problem lies. Why are we waiting around for Freedom to find us? Our world is one of great corruption and oppression, but we make the choices. Freedom can be anything we want it to be. The freedom to smoke Marajuana in the comfort of our own homes. The freedom to marry same sex couples. But nothing comes easy. America is now blood & tears instead of milk and honey, but we must continue the search, and the fight...for Freedom.

Stop having blind eyes, deaf ears, dumb tongues, closed minds, and deceived hearts. Don't be the perfect slave.

Think about it

2010-10-24T18:42:00.001-07:00

Despite everything you've ever believed or heard, if you found the end of the world, would you take a risk and jump? I mean, we've been on this earth for quite some time...so would you continue to explore what has already been discovered, or take a leap of faith into the UNKNOWN... literally.

An Ode to my Niggas

2010-10-12T21:41:00.000-07:00

Ode to you, friends of mine that are males.

Especially the ones doing something with yourselves.

I don't knock the hustle, but I know this life is rough,

Ode to those who have had to be more than tough.

I admire our friendship, your intelligence, and even your humor.

I sometimes wish I could've met you all sooner.

Your willingness to overcome the struggle is a motivation,

We love hard workers, the ones with dedication, striving to get an education.

You give us a sensation of inspiration that sparks a creation of our imagination.

Reassuring us that we can be whatever we put our mind to.

Ode to my athletes & homies with jobs, man, the upmost respect for you.

Juggling High school, or College, Home life, and still making room?

Keep the focus first, and the women second,

Because choices you make now will be a valuable lesson.

The hard work will pay off , I'm sure of it all,

Just remember that nobody walks before they crawl.

There's nothing like a strong man, so take pride in all you do,

Keep pushing my niggas, I see you!

Her.

Brown skin, brown skin,

Where does yours begin, and mine end?

Lol, on some India Arie biz.

The smoothest, the sun loves to kiss,

Call 'er the dark complected female with the beautiful epidermis.

In Urban terms, the black sistah with the sexy skin.

Accompanied by a smile that makes them loose the confusion.

Body of a goddess, and struck with hips,

The ones that make you want to explore all curves and dips.

A work of art, Pacasso couldn't even paint a picture of her,

Got the heart of a lion, but a hopelessly wreckless lover.

A rare individual, blessed with charisma and class,

Her mind is deep, but the gasps are usually for her ass.

Shake my head one time.

Don't you see that her mind is sublime?

Cherish it, support it, stand by it together,

Because beauty passes, but wisdom remains forever.

Open Letter of Resentment to Our Notorious Friend "Love"

2010-10-11T22:36:00.000-07:00

Dear Love,

I am charging you with being completely overrated. We are taught to think that you are something spectacular, and amazing, which is probably only the case 50% of the time. You're two-faced. You have the ability to make people feel like they're on top of the world one minute, and then make someone feel like they're being crushed under the weight of the world the next minute. You have this way of making people in relationships fall hard...but often times one more than the other. You should be a mutual thing, but for some reason, you get a kick out of seeing people travel down a one way street. You practice cruel and unusual punishment and you've been a weapon in disguise for entirely too long. I hear by declare you a desperado to my mind, body, and soul. You've been found guilty as charged by myself, and a number of your other victims, and are sentenced to confinement until someone can prove you innocent. That is all.

Sincerely,

Alexis Shantia Scott

No Spheres Here,

2010-10-04T22:28:00.000-07:00

Contrary to your beliefs, my world has never been a sphere. I view the world, and everything and one in it from a very unique pair of eyes. I think that once you have found your perspective on life, and you're happy with it, you have reached one of your greatest coups. I have yet to fill this void. I'm just on the roller coaster of my pursuit of happiness. It may be treacherous, but I'll buckle my seatbelt and hold on tight, because I'm down for the ride. This is MY world, what shall I make of it?

The Butterfly Effect

2010-09-03T00:03:00.000-07:00

Today was my first day in my Personal Development class, which is also my first college course. I learned a great deal already, but the one thing that stuck to me the most was when my Instructor talked about the Butterfly Effect. Of course the first thing you think about is the movie starring Ashton Kutcher, but there's a bigger meaning behind it. It is said, that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wings can ultimately cause a typhoon half way around the world, or change it's path. The way I interpreted this is that ONE small action can GRAVELY alter the future, or cause a domino effect. I believe it is also known as "The Chaos Theory". Well, that explains a lot.

Our World By: Alexis Scott

2010-08-31T17:20:00.000-07:00

Why is it that when we lie, we look to the left?

What's REALLY going to happen after death?

Why is it that when you try not to cry, you get a painful lump in your throat?

Why does the female species find it becoming to gloat?

If hate is such a strong word, why is it such an easy action?

If there's a variety jobs, why do we all want to be the designer of fashion?

If children are a gift from GOD, why are we so very mistreated?

If love is to be cherished, why does it all too often leave our hearts depleted?

See, words of endearment are becoming too dominate when you live in a world where it's impossible to be celibate. We fear Lions and Tigers and Bears, but walk the unsafe streets of cities in which we dwell, without a care. That's where the real problem lies. Lies, told from one person to the next, which usually ends in the words "I regret..". Can you feel me yet? Church was never my priority, cause I get the daily word from Kanye, Common, Wale, and Bob Marley. That's when the judgement comes, and I hate fighting ignorance, but I don't dare to run. Young men with tattoos, pants loose, and guns, we don't know their stories, but we still choose to shun. People always say college is the key to success, parents pound it in our heads, so unheard of dreams are locked away and suppressed. I'm just speaking for those without a voice, the ones who are forced into situations, not given a choice. The majority yells PROP 8, while the minority yells NOH8. Can you relate? I know many of us can. We need freedom for the voiceless, cause I'll be damned. Our generation is repeatedly dogged out, but who can tell me who raised these children that we rant and rave about? We stress that chivalry is dead, but are surrounded by women who only want their men to break bread...Enough said. This is OUR world, let's get it together BEFORE they day we're lying in a hospital bed all covered in RED.

Take a stand for what you believe in.

NOH8

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz & Pete Wentz for NOH8

On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with "NOH8" painted on one cheek in protest.

Two years later, Prop 8 has since been overturned, and same-sex couples are now legally able to marry. So special shout out to the makers of the NOH8 campaign for all of their work, and helping to give people the equality and happiness we are ALL entitled to.

The Fantasy

2010-08-31T09:57:00.000-07:00

They day I sit on a porch, in front of a beautiful ass house designed by me, in a bathing suit, sipping lemonade, and laughing with my Best Friend and Sister about how my son always writes his "E"s backwards on his homework. Gazing at the sun, remembering when I WISHED for everything I now have. My Husband and daughter will then pull into our driveway, and when he gets out the car, I look at him as if I'd never seen a more beautiful creature. My daughter, missing her front teeth, but all smiles, runs to give me a hug, and immediately rushes to her room to enjoy the new toys her Dad bought her. My husband greets us with a "Hello ladies" and plants a kiss on my lips that sends the butterflies in my stomach fluttering, and tells us the game is on, so he will accompany us a little later. We proceed to the pool, in the backyard. I throw a frizbee for our dog to catch, and swan dive into the pool. I can no longer hear anything but the calm water moving through my hair, and into my ears, and I can't help but think...This is the life I've been waiting for.

Can you see it?

Summer, 2010

2010-08-09T09:02:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Today is August 9, 2010 9:04 am. For me, this means there are only about 14 more days that I will be able to enjoy, without being on any sort of wake-up schedule. That was just a small reminder that school will be starting in exactly 2 weeks :( One thing I can say, is that I've definitely enjoyed my summer. So much has happened this year, that just made me feel that I should enjoy my summer before I go back to school this year. So far this summer, I've gone to my sister's house a few times, Six Flags, Universal City Walk, The L.A Zoo, Hermosa Beach, Docweiler Beach, and some other cool stuff. I've also found a job , finally. In these next two weeks, I hope to return to six flags, go to the Long Beach Aquarium, and take a road trip to San Diego. We'll see how that goes!

"Beauty passes, wisdom remains"

2010-06-27T03:51:00.000-07:00

I am a firm believer in this quote. Being one who has both qualities, I feel it is necessary to spread the word that wisdom is what is truly going to carry you through life, and in turn grow through out it as well. . My dear friends, outter beauty will only last us so long in my opinion. I'm not only directing this to women, but men also. Ladies, your hair will not always be the beautiful, rich color that it is today. Eventually, that will be taken over by brittle-like colors of grey, and white. Gentleman, eventually, you will no longer be capable of enticing a woman with your wrinkle-free, youthful faces, and in-place hair lines. The more you experience, the wiser you will become. I also believe that experience isn't the only way to become wise. KNOWLEDGE is also a key to wisdom. This is why, after many years of immaturity, I have finally realized that with every encounter I have, and new things I learn, I am becoming wiser day by day. If I had to choose, I would die full of beauty SECOND to full of wisdom.

My Day Away ( Diary Entry)

June 22,2010 3:39pm Location: Hermosa Beach

Now Playing: In My Dreams By: Kid Cudi

Dear Diary,

Today is my day away. I woke up when my body was physically and mentally ready, Igot dressed, and was on my way. I started my day off by going to

the Library. I got myself a Library card, and checked out two books. "Honey Flava" By Zane, and "Promise You Won't Freak Out" By Doris and Natalie F

uller. After that, I walked around and discovered a new beauty supply store that carries EVERYTHING. lol Lucky me. Next, I hopped on the bus to the mall. Here, I got some McDonalds, and my favorite drink. (Caramel Frapp) . I walked over to Zumies to see if they still carried the keep-a-breast braclets I kept procrastinating about. Fortunately they did. It was like 5$, which is kind of a lot for a damn braclet. lol At least I'm supporting the cause right? Well, now I'm at my last stop right now, which is Hermosa Beach. The sky is almost perfect. Cloudy, but not glumey. There's a pleasant breeze bru

shing against my skin nearly soothing enough to put me to sleep. In the background of the music playing in my ears, I hear the waves of the ocean calmly spreading across the shore, where children, couples, and bi

rds alike, wait for the salty water to touch their feet, but only the birds can fly away. As for me, I'm going to lie here with my feet tucked into the warm sand, and let my thoughts spill out onto my towel while I eat my double-cheeseburger . lol.

Until tomorrow,

Alexis

A Day Away By: Maya Angelou

2010-06-21T01:50:00.000-07:00

*Definitely worth reading*

We often think that our affairs, great or small, must be tended continuously and in detail, or our world will disintegrate, and we will lose our places in the universe. That is not true, or if it is true, then our situations were so temporary that they would have collapsed anyway.

Once a year or so I give myself a day away. On the eve of my day of absence, I begin to unwrap the bonds which hold me in harness. I inform housemates, my family and close friends that I will not be reachable for twenty-four hours; then I disengage the telephone. I turn the radio dial to an all-music station, preferably one which plays the soothing golden
oldies. I sit for at least an hour in a very hot tub; then I lay out my clothes in preparation for my morning escape, and knowing that nothing will disturb me, I sleep the sleep of the just.

On the morning I wake naturally, for I will have set no clock, nor informed my body timepiece when it should alarm. I dress in comfortable shoes and casual clothes and leave my house going no place. If I am living in a city, I wander streets, window-shop, or gaze at buildings. I enter and leave public parks, libraries, the lobbies of skyscrapers, and movie houses.
I stay in no place for very long.

On the getaway day I try for amnesia. I do not want to know my name, where I live, or how many dire responsibilities rest on my shoulders. I detest encountering even the closest friend, for then I am reminded of who I am, and the circumstances of my life, which I want to forget for a while.

Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spaces of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.

If we step away for a time, we are not, as many may think and some will accuse, being irresponsible, but rather we are preparing ourselves to more ably perform our duties and discharge our obligations.

When I return home, I am always surprised to find some questions I sought to evade had been answered and some entanglements I had hoped to flee had become unraveled in my absence.

A day away acts as a spring tonic. It can dispel rancor, transform indecision, and renew the spirit.

I'm so doing this.

Hello, my name is Tracie and im Alexis' penis. I love the shit out of the person I belong too. She takes very good care of me. When im feeling funny, she knows just what to do to make me feel great. And when I feel like somethings wrong, she knows exactly who too take me to. If I were too everrrr be taken away from Alexis, I wouldn't be a penis anymore :( But on a moree seriousss note, Alexis is most definitely the only girl thats reaally important to me at this point. And without her, I wouldnt be as happy as I am now!! I am more than anxious for OUR future ;). Thanksss for everything my beautiful, broke, mean, sweet, funny, smart, and not innocent BFF.

Cause we're going to be BUSY all sumer, and all 11th grade year basically. That's why it seems like we're always doing something, or always going somewhere having fun. Take advantage of the time we have. Cause we wont have it forever. . .

Look, this shit is starting to get hell of annoying. I am a BASKETBALL PLAYER . When I'm on the court, it's not about gender, age, race, skin tone, NONE of that . It's about the game. I want to be played against like a BAKETBALL PLAYER . Not like a GIRL. I want to be able to lift a fucking weight and not be told " Damn, you stronger than half the boys in this school, dont you wanna slow down?" Because the answer is NO. I'm tired of being told "Alexis, you stick her" because they dont want a nigga to hurt us. I work just as hard as everyone else, and I think I deserve to be played against to everyones full potential. Not no rinky-dink , give-her-the-ball-cause-shes-a-girl game. Boys are so afraid of a challenge it's rediculous. Smh

I'm just tryna make a change, dig ?

Where should I start .. welp, I have an ample amount of respect for Johnny Weir, because one : He's a male figure skater and two: He's very..openly gay. He recently competed in this years Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. Now, when your GAY, and a MALE FIGURE SKATER, just about half the world, if not more is going to critisize you to the bone. This dude is superrrr talented, and doesn't care about what ANYONE has to say about him. I mean if you knew you had to compete/ perform in front of millions of people that are representing every country, knowing that most of them are NOT rooting for you, and they think you're weird, or a disgrace to your country, would you still do it ? Johnny Weir did .

Told you so

Dear Mom,

2010-02-08T19:44:00.000-08:00

Today is Monday, February 8th, 2010 , 7:46 pm. School was pretty wack today. I thought about you majority of the day. I told myself I wouldnt spend all my money this morning, and came home with not a dollar to my name . Who does that sound like ? Lol . After school, I had basketball practice which was ... okay, except for a few minor mistakes and irritations. My last two games of this season are this week. I think if I stay focused, and do everything I'm supposed to do, there will be a positive outcome. Track seasons coming up by the way. Hopefully if your better you can come to some of my meets. Khalid will be running too, so I guess you have my permission so sit in the stands with his Mom and embarrass the living crap out of us. Lol Anyways, it's Sheivon's Birthday, so her and Dad went out, and I'm babysitting her daughter for the time being . Valentines Day is coming up, lol Remember when I used to beg you to buy me the little Hulk & Superman valentines cards for my class, and Raven & them would get mad because we had to share, and they didnt like the fact that I always chose the Boy cards to pass out to my class ? Lol I wish it was still like that. Everything seems alot more complicated now. And I feel like I've been so busy complaining about what's wrong, that I havent even been able to enjoy whats right, and if I've never said it before, I want to thank you for everything you've ever done/went through to make me the person I am... I miss you and I love you. Get well .

Your Daughter,

Huh ?

When life gives you lemons, SQUEEZE ! Get the most out of it. Who knows when a second oppurtunity will come around ? People often hesitate when their scared, or unsure, nervous, whatever the case may be... and that can cause you to miss out on a piece of life that could have easily been another potenial experience. Now that's a LIFE lesson. You can apply that to just about anything. Use your insticts .... just a thought .

2010-01-31T19:28:00.000-08:00

My Best Friend Tracie and I where "going for a walk" so to speak , and we found ourselves engaged in a long conversation about ...well everything I guess. But what really stood out to me was that we both agreed that with everything we do, we should create a Plan B for it. We noticed that we seem to deviate from alot our plans , and when they fail, we never have a back-up plan. I dont know, but it was important to me that we established that now, instead of when we're grown, and looking for a job or something, and it's too late for a Plan B. The second thing that stuck out for me, was that we also talked about writing down some things we'd like to do over time. (Inspired by my mentor) Just anything. Like going out of state, or surfing... things like that. Anyone that knows us, knows we're VERY adventurous people. lol So I think that should be a really cool thing to do.. Let's just say, we're expanding our horizons (:

Change

2010-01-28T20:21:00.000-08:00

Why are Men so opposed to change ? I hear it all the time, no matter where I am. Perfect Example: "Why do women change their hair while we're dating them? Now all of a sudden they want their hair short now. Why cant yall stay the same ?"

WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT CHANGE?

Is it just me ?

2010-01-28T19:54:00.000-08:00

Well, this one's for my Ladies :) Okay, is it just me, or does being an athlete make someone like 5x better than what they are ? For some reason, I'm more attracted to athletes, as apposed to someone who raps, or works at Taco Bell , or other things like that. I'm very athletic myself, so maybe that's where it comes from, but that's been on my mind lately.. I think these athletes wouldnt be as cute if they weren't so good at what they do.

Shannon Brown, Reggie Bush, & Michael Phelps,

Okay I'm lieing about Shannon Brown, I just wanted to put him on my blog . lmao

To All The Boys I've Loved Before

2010-01-28T19:29:00.000-08:00

( I couldn't get the youtube version , but I HAD to have this on my blog)

To all the boys I've loved before, part one
We are not your mothers
You have been weaned from the breast of a woman for years
Yet you come to us wounded and half filled with promises
You can only keep half the time
Trying to suck a loss 'sense of self' dry
We have become much too accustomed to sleepless nights
And damp pillows have become much too accustomed
To waiting for our empty beds to be weighed down with the bodies of men
Heavy with the scent and the hands of other women
And we simply wanting to be loved
And to love ourselves unconditionally
Simply wanting the truth of whether you can really love us or not
Play Hester Prynne
Place scarlet letters on our chest
Become adulteresses
Cheating ourselves out of what we truly deserve
Willing to settle for less
Willing to act like a little less than a goddess
Willing to sleep with the enemy
Men too scared to stop acting like boys
Thinking we can love away their scars
So we take the lashes of the insecurities they pour on us
And lick our wounds in quiet mourning
For the little girls that we lose by the minute

Part two
You said you had a photographic memory
But apparently you forgot
That honesty begins by being real with yourself
And the ones you claim you love
The truth cannot be hidden
What's clouded in darkness will always come to light my love
You should've known that
Claiming you saw my light so clearly and brightly
I guess sh*t happens
I just wish it wasn't me
And I guess it's so much better
To have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
I know that's some easy sh*t to say
But I'm still going to try and live by it
I'm still going to try to put faith to rest in it
I will sleep on dry pillows now
In a bed big enough to love myself in
I will awake these coming mornings with my eyes dry and shining
And full of the knowledge that I am priceless
And worth nothing but honesty
I will remove the scarlet letter from my chest
And take the hand of the little girl I used to be
And say "I'm sorry" to her
I'm sorry for cheating you out of the joy you have always deserved
And I will wait for a man to come along
That can give me the truth of how much he can really love me.

_Mayda Del Valle

I encourage you to watch the youtube version though. go to "To all the boys I've loved before Mayda Del Valle". You wont be dissappointed .

" Gang Members Wanted "

2010-01-28T18:56:00.000-08:00

So I came across this sign laying in the dirt while I was on my way to the bus stop, and I had to take a picture of it. The sign read " Gang Members Wanted , Career Opportunity!" That wasnt even the part that amazed me though. If you look closely, somebody wrote "fuck ur opportunity" on the poster. All I could do was shake my head and pull out my phone to snap a picture. The world is a harsh atmosphere, and...

You cant help those who dont wish to be helped...

Rain, MLK Day.

2010-01-18T13:06:00.000-08:00

I've learned to appriciate the rain a little more lately. Usually I'm very busy, and I"m always trying to be gone, and out the house. But today, I'm more relaxed, and I feel like for the first time in a while I have the chance to sit down and just let my thoughts flow in and out of my mind. Kick back, watch movies, laugh about stupid stuff with my sister, and soon I;m going to go see my Best Friend Tracie. On top of it being a rainy day, it's also Martin Luther King Day. For me, that means the celebration of the freedom I have in my life compared to the old days. ... and it also means NO SCHOOL. Thank you Dr.King , without you, I would have never appriciated a rainy day like this one. ( We've been thanking you for the same thing over and over again for 40 years, so I'd thought I'd thank you for something else this year as well ) :)

New Years Resolution

2010-01-01T17:39:00.000-08:00

Well , every year it's so difficult for me to establish a legitament resolution. So this year , I'm going to keep it simple. This year, my New Years Resolution is to follow through . I have a habit of not finishing what I start, and I want this year to be different. January is going to be a very rocky month for me this year, and this will be the begining of my Two Thousand Ten test. Everyone pray for me, and hope I pass...

Dear Tracie Simone Weber,

2009-12-10T22:52:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (: I dont know what I'd do without you. Your a blessing, and your not even in disguise . lol You put a smile on my face whenever need be, and your the best example anyone my age, hell YOUNGER than me, has ever shown me. Your so strong , and so beautiful , and I'm glad to call you my Best Friend , you made it another year without getting shot my nigga. Haha "LETS ' MEGA ' DO THIS !" ( Kerry/David voice) I love you from the tippy top , to the bare bottom of my heart.

Purple Sea Urchins

2009-12-08T22:54:00.000-08:00

Okay so my Biology class were experimenting on the reproduction process of Purple Sea Urchins the other day. It was very interesting . My teacher used a needle to inject a salt based substance into the Urchin to secrete sperm cells from the males, and the same process to secrete eggs from the females . Then he used a sort of suction type thingy to place both the sperm and eggs under a microscope for us to watch the fertilization begin. I mean, it's one thing when somebody just TELLS you what happens, and how it happens , but its a whole nother ball game to actually watch it . Pretty fascinating stuff .

Too bad Mr. Rosen & Mr. Parker didn't inform us that they wouldn't survive , until we where done with the experiement :(

Judging

2009-12-08T22:33:00.000-08:00

Who can we really judge ? I was watching the Tyra Show the other day, and it talked about how Bi-racial people percieve themselves . One half Mexican half African American male said he would "NEVER want to be referred to as Mexican" because of the " bad name they've given themselves" and the stereotypes that have transpired about them . He said they come over here to tag our walls , and make our country dirty... But what he isn't realizing, is that he's part of that stereotypical critisism . And what makes Black people any different? We too carry a variety of stereotypes, but that didn't bother him. Basically, at the end of the show, the boy ended up sounding very ignorant, and as if he was adding on to the judgmental slurs being passed around about HIS OWN people...Who are we to judge ANYONE ?

Blood and Sweat , but no Tears .

2009-11-17T21:23:00.000-08:00

Today was a good day ... Pause .

I went to my Girls Basketball practice from 4-5 , Then to my Boys Basketball practice from 6-8 .

Results from girls practice : A couple laughs , some running , a some coops motivated by not wanting to run anymore , sarcasm and a grip of unneccessary shit i could have stayed home for .

Results from boys practice : THE REAL THING . I've never worked so hard at Basketball practice in my life. I threw up twice , I fell on my ankle , my face, and my ass . I got pushed around and yelled at too. I bled , sweat , but I didnt cry. I got up , and handled buisness . Like I always say ..Who doesn't want a challenge ? I believe it'll be worth it in the end , so I'm in it for the long-hall .

I've noticed that I used to give up on a lot of things in the past , and at the start of this school year I told myself " I'm going to finish everything I start this year " . And to no surprise , I didnt keep that goal . But something clicked inside of me tonight. I've made a choice , especially after looking at so many faces of determination , and for some , basketball is thier only hope . I know what I want , and I want it BAD .

Meteor Shower; Shooting stars

2009-11-17T01:22:00.000-08:00

When I was little , actually , up until about 10 minutes ago , I never knew a "shooting star " was really a meteor , just falling to the earth . With that knowledge , I still wished on two that I witnessed tonight . For some reason , the date 10.9.09 seemed to overthrow all my prior thoughts . I guess my thoughts really are solar powered , haha . Let's see what happens .

Life .

2009-08-14T23:13:00.000-07:00

Sometimes i find myself being a bit on the negative side of things. Using excuses for why I "cant" do something , or why something's hard for me to do. But I was sitting here talking to Tracie about some things , and my wholeeee outlook is a lot different right now. I feel so positive about life. Like , my school year is about to be awesome as hell . Im the football team manager , I'm starting basketball , I'm going to start going to Ballet classes , attending the gym daily , and in addition , I will be a Vegeterian soon . I also plan on taking a trip to Brooklyn with a group of my closest friends for my birthday !:-D I feel like the word "drama" is no longer needed in my life. I dont even have time for it to find me like it used to. Maybe this is just part of getting older ? Or growing more mature ? Whatever it is , I like it , and I hope i can keep this sameee energy for the rest of my life . lol It feels good to say you dont have anything to worry about . all stress in my life is irrelevant. Tracie and I have taken on this same outlook together , and will be occupping ALL of our time. Im so excited lol . What im trying to say folks , is BE HAPPY. SMILE ! Life is goooood 8-)

Yesterday was my youngest sister's birthday , and I made a mistake by not blogging about her. She turned 8 , and is getting bigger everyday. She just came back from Iowa for the Junior Olympics , placing 4th in the nation in the 4x100 meter relay , in her division. I can't begin to express how proud of her I am , and what a successful little girl she's becoming. Happy Birthday

Shani , I love you.

Football quotes

2009-08-11T00:02:00.000-07:00

1. “We lost because we didn’t win.”- Ronaldo (Obviously bro.)

2. "I’ve had 14 bookings this season - 8 of which were my fault, but 7 of which were disputable.”- Paul Gascoigne ( I wonder if he's aware that 8+7=15)

3. “I took a whack on my left ankle, but something told me it was my right.”-Lee Hendrie ( Are you sure it wasn't retardation that told you that?)

4. “Celtic manager Davie Hay still has a fresh pair of legs up his sleeve.”-John Greig ( Lmao, nice one)

5. "Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority."-Vince Lombardi ( Ha. that's like one of those "Which of these does not belong?" questions. I'd circle "self-denial" )

6. "Half this game is ninety percent mental" - Danny Ozark, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies ( So , is half of the game mental ? or is 90% of it mental? Because that's NOT the same thing buddy)

7. "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." -Joe Theismann ( Maybe nobody told him that the guy's name was ALBERT Einstein...)

8. "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle." - Bill Peterson ( But... a pair consists of TWO , and a line is STRAIGHT , which is the OPPOSITE of a circle ...)

9. “I never make predictions, and I never will.”-Paul Gascoigne ( You've been caught red handed, you predicted that you wouldnt predict. I predict your team's going to suck , as they always have.)

10. “Celtic were at one time nine points ahead, but somewhere along the road, their ship went off the rails.”-Richard Park ( Duuuuuude , are you on the road , a train or a ship!?)

11. “I would have given my right arm to be a pianist.”-Sir Bobby Robson ( Somebody punch this guy for me -.-)

Welcome to Football season everyone , you gotta love it.

So , today I went to Venice Beach with my homegirl Tracie . The commute was CRAZY . Lol it took us about 2 hourson the bus :-\ . But I can say it was worth it . I never really went to the beach to just relax , or as a stress reliever , but today was definately that day. It was so relaxing , and we walked threw the neighborhoods ; the houses where gorgeous . So all that goes to say , the beach is without a doubt , the new kick-it spot (:

Okay , so right now , im at home sitting on my ass, because im suspended for fighting . That , and a number of other things going on in my life right now have helped me to realize how childish i can be . There's so much i want to do in life , and by me acting a fool , not doing my schoolwork , being obsessed over boys , trying to hide tattoos and piercings , lieing and a bunch of other things i do , are NOT helping . Everybody's so worried about being a "bad bitch" and doing what they want to do , and that's not gonna work out in the long run .

Katy Perry doesn't have the BEST voice in my opinion , but her style is phenominal . I love the fact that she's so confident in what she has on. She wore an outfit that she found at a THRIFT STORE to an awards show , and the fit was BAD . lol . Now she just outdid herself with this outfit , and i want the same exact dress for my prom , or something lol . I fell in love with it as soon and i flipped the page in the magazine . Here it is :)

Your talent is God's gift to you.What you do with it is your gift back to God.

- Leo Buscaglia -

Okay , so when i read this , it gave the best feeling ever. I have so many ambitions , passions , and talents . There are so many things i work hard at , that i can give back to god , to show that im doing something with the life he blessed me with . There are so many ideas in my head of where i want to be , and what i want to be doing when im older. So giving them all a try , and succeeding in some or all of them is the gift i give to him , in return for life , and health .
