How bout turning another page so quick.
I was so excited to come back home for summer to where I actually got sick of being down in So Cal...weird I know. But I was pumped to see all my friends, to go to the lake, play volleyball, go to the Classy city of Reno haha, and do all these exciting things, then I actually get here. I am struck by the fact I still have no car to drive anywhere, I am at my parents house in the town of Minden which could win America's Most Boring Place of the decade and win a banner and everything, all my friends have moved away, I am stuck with no job to make that stuff that rules everything around me, money, and I am bored beyond measures...
I believe I have watched every movie on Netflicks through live stream on my computer cartoon shows and everything, downloaded every new song that I hear whether its good or terrible, worked out to where my toes even get sore, blast electro music in my room until my parents tell me to turn it down because they are watching Dr. Phil, cleaned every room in the house garage and even outside, and the days turn into nights so slow... Coming to the conclusion that It is possible I may die very soon due to the terrible sickness we all call boredom. Then I see my younger sister who has a job, gets to drive the car, and stays out later then I do at nights with her BF and It makes me want to steal a car, any car, and make my own grand theft auto game, just to make my life a little more interesting.
On the positive side... I was able to see every Stanley Cup Finals hockey game, cause being Canadian I love our national sport, and the team I was cheering for, after my real team got beat out, won. And I get to see Boston make a series out the NBA Finals by now giving LA a run for their money, which Im cheering for the Celtics, cause I "dislike" the Lakers, except for Shannon Brown....because not everyone can truly fly like him. Then NOW I finally get to go back down to Californ I A with my pops. Little father-son bonding time/ find a job to survive time.
My dad is going down to meet with some people and do some interviews which hopefully will lead into a job for him, as for me..
A new proposition has been brought to my table...and I think I may take it.
I Love to meet people incase you forgot, and I Love to help people, and this Job brings both.
My father got an e-mail from a camp in La Jolla, CA at UCSD. Its a camp for people who strive to become better fit, loose weight, and build self confidence and esteem. Sounds perfect for me if I can contribute to help changing their lives. All this happening in a week. If I take the job, I go down with my father wednesday 6/14 and dont come back until August or if my parents eventually are able to move down I wont be coming back. I would move into an apartment at UCSD, I already missed two weeks of training but start Sunday at the opening ceremonies. I mean this camp is at UCSD which is right next to the ocean, we do exciting things like surfing, basketball, swimming, pretty much any activity you can think of we get to do it, so sounds cooooool I guess... Then also get to go to freakin sweet places like Sea World and Disneyland and on and on! I will be finally making a little bit of cash and the camp pays for food and everything so I cant complain... A true blessing once again that I am thankful for.
Taking this job means I wont be here in the Tahoe area for the rest of summer, and I wont get to see everyone who I wanted to spend time with, No July 4th at Zephyr Cove, no more Tahoe for awhile, and dont get to say goodbye to really anyone. But that doesnt mean I wont keep in contact as much as I can! So how about another turn of the page in my life so quickly...
Now im stuck here and the only thing I can think about besides leaving again is this poem... I love poetry. I love to write it, perform it, share it. I especially love Slam poetry and love to watch Def Jam poetry on HBO. I want to share this poem with everyone because it is probably the best poem I have heard. I dont even know if I could call it a poem, because this guy Preaches it! J. Ivy has become one of my favorite poets along with Shihan whose both of their performances touch my heart, my soul, and my thoughts. Its not everyday you hear or see something that changes you as a person, and this poem just spoke so much to me. I dont know how to put my thoughts into words about how I feel about this performance and poem.
Just watch and listen I hope you enjoy it and get as much out of it as I do and the words are posted below as well.
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the world, the globe
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out
So as I finish this post, Im off to do something with my life finally. Im excited to experience the experiences that this camp will bring to me and hopefully be a part of many people lives. Also to be someone who can have an impact on changing their lives, because I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument and I need to live as that everyday. I know God has a plan for my life even though the crazy sudden changes that have been happening. I will just live each day as an amazing day.
Too everyone who I didnt get to see Im sorry, and to everyone I did get to see, it was a blessing. Keep checkin for more post because I am excited to share my life, stories, and experiences with everyone!
