Stop Kony

Watch.

I feel like this guy's antics resembles Hitler. My question is, why do people value power so much? You like the feeling of being in charge so much that you're willing to ruin the lives of CHILDREN? What kind of person do you have to be to make people kill their parents? or takeaway someones childhood? because you like like power. I hope this guy gets caught and is put in jail until he dies.

Can't find the proper title for this

Changed my design again...

Once again I was in WEB Design and the computer were acting dumb. So we had another free day. In my boredom I decided to do my design over again. I guess I got sick of the green.

btw...

That gray dry looking thing on the left side is an elephant. I just named him Larry. So don't do my Larry.

Time for a Change...

You know how your parents tell you stuff ALL THE TIME but you never really listen or get it until somebody else tells you? Well that just happened to me about 30 minutes ago. My mom tells me ALL THE TME to stop looking so mean. Then I'd say I'm not looking mean or whatever. She says that I try to be tough or whatever when in fact that's not the case AT ALL. Sometimes I feel like that's just how my face looks. Idk. Anyway, this lady who used to work at my momma job wrote be on facebook and was like..."somethin' somethin' somethin' and stop being so mean" and so I replied back and said "who told you I was mean?" and then she was like "nobody. You just be walking around looking mean and I know you just tryna be tough but your mom tells me how sweet you are"


This ^^^^ got me thinking. I don't want people to think that I'm mean because I'm really not. I can be mean. But that's not a regular thing for me. So yeah. I need to work on not only being more friendly to people, but looking friendly/nice on the outside. This is probably the reason why people (boys) don't approach me. (sigh) Lord take the mean away. I don't wanna be mean.

Pharrell Williams- "I'll be 40 in 3 years"

Often times I would see people's blogs and they'd show Pharrell as one of their inspirations. Then I would be like "Why come so many people look up to this man?" I heard that he was smart, but I didn't realize how IDK informed he really was. I was watchin the K!dult video on Diggy's blog and I was just intrigued by so much stuff he said. He said that there's no such thing as "having nothing." We as Americans look at living in a ratty apartment, and a raggedy car as having nothing. But people in 3rd world countries would love to live in our "ratty apartments" and drive our "raggedy cars." They don't even have floors! And they have to travel miles and miles to get water that's not even clean. We're spoiled. He said that nothing is "deep space with no stars." That's powerful. We don't live in deep space with no stars. So I think for now on, I'm going to stop conplainin about the stuff I don't have. Because people in other countries would love to have what I have.  

Most common Lie

You know what the most common lie is?
-Nothing

How many times has someone asked you "What's wrong" and you say "Nothin'" and you know good and well you not? You're lying. That's a lie. If  a person can see on your face that there is something wrong with you: There's something wrong with you.

How many times has someone asked you whatswrong this week? Yesterday? Today? We need to stop lying so much. If you don't wanna talk about it, just say I don't wanna talk about it. This way, you can stop cuttin your life short.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Every Tuesday I'll do an "Enlightenment post". It may be music, it may be quotes. Idk. You'll know what it is when it gets posted.

Lesson Learned

One thing I always struggle with is the couage to keep going. It's like, anytime I feel any type of pressure, I'm ready to stop. That's not a good habit. Matter of fact, that's a TERRIBLE habit. But I don't like to fight. It doesn't matter if it's physical, mental, or verbal. I DON'T WANNA FIGHT. This year, I joined my school track team. Track is a very demanding sport. It takes up all of your time. Once you join, it's like, everything you do is centered around running. I HATED the work out. But after practice, I would feel so good, even though I was sore.
I had to learn how not to give up. I learned that, being tired doesn't give you a reason to stop. Sometimes I would be running, and my legs would be tired and my chest would hurt, and mouth would be dry, and sometimes I'd get dizzy. But I didn't stop. Sometimes...ALL THE TIME, I would be nervous before a meet. And I would be itchin to get out of the race because I was scared that I wouldn't make it, or that I would be behind the crowd. But when I would start runnin, every fear that I had had vanished. And I was no longer nervous. All I was thinking about was getting ahead of my opponent. Then, the next thing I know I'm leading the crowd or it's me and one other person FIGHTING for first place. I loved running and I knew that i couldn't stop. Because if I stopped, everybody behind would pass me up. And that's when I'd lose. Because I stopped and I didn't pass the finish line. You can't just stop in the middle of a race. Coming in 6th place doesn't make you a loser. Quitting does. I'd rather come in last, than not finish a race.
Track has been more of a mataphoric lesson for me. I may not be the fastest or strongest runner on the team. And that's okay. I believe God was teaching me a lesson. He was telling me not to quit, because quitting makes you a loser. You never know how good you may be at whatever you're afraid of. The key is trying even if you're scared: DON'T QUIT. Me and my relay team won a medal! FIRST PLACE! I rememeber worrying about that race. Thinking I wasn't good enough. Thinking I would slow the team down. But I did alright. I'm so proud of myself. I learned not to give up. That's something I struggle with:GIVING UP. I think I give up because, I fear that I won't be good enough. So I just stop. I think, "if I don't do it, I can't be bad at it. I can't mess up." But, God has shown me that, giving up is worser than not trying. You don't know what'll happen. Just have faith that you can make it. Have faith that you are good enough.

Nas & Damian Marley- Africa must Wake Up

I think this album is widely underlooked. Radiostations constantly try and hide the REAL music. This few songs I've acually heard by these two are actually saying something.
Look forward to me posting more by these two.
