XYBT

Funny how life changes. Seems like yesterday I was sitting in the Riverdale Track locker room wondering where I would be in the future. Well, I'm not finished yet, but it sure is interesting where I am now. Ironically, I'm sitting here on my laptop still contemplating where my future will take me. In the last year, life has changed so much. I've gained a new group of friends. I hardly even talk to the same people I did when I was sitting in that old locker room. With all the changes one thing remains the same, I know I was born for something more than a 9 to 5. Let the clock make a couple more rotations and I'll prove it to you. XYBT TILL IT KILLS ME

Ten Rules For Being Human.

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.	You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.	You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.	There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.	Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.	Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.	"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.	Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.	What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.	Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.	You will forget all this.

Elvis, Kool-Aid, and a house full of memories..

Sitting here surrounded by a childhood of memories with a glass full of Kool-Aid, I'm reflecting on past thoughts I once had. Constantly wondering where I'm going to be in five years from now. A couple of hours ago, I went to look at a house that a couple of my newlywed friends will hopefully get in the near future. As they showed me around the outside of the house, I couldn't help but admire what they have. It's nice to see people in love. I mean, I observe daily the people around me. There are so many relationships, some struggling and some going strong and steady, yet either way, I still feel this emptiness down in my soul that tells me both are doing better than me. What's more important than to have someone to face the world with? Even if it's for a second. The timeless question is still being asked today, "Is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?" So still pondering an answer, I refill my empty glass of Kool-Aid and turn Elvis back up.

America, We're Sorry.

Happy 4th of July! I can't find a job to save my life. Happy 4th of July! The economies getting worse everyday. I just wish 2Pac were still alive to run for President. Happy 4th of July! Gas prices are still at $3.Something/gallon..I thought we found a new oil deposit? Happy 4th of July! You really think the best is yet to come? Come on people, as long as we keep electing the same people, who are connected to the same people, we're never getting anything accomplished. But half of you won't even read this and you that do, won't care. At least enough to do anything about it. America has become lazy, we lack motivation, and we believe more in Marijuana than we do in our dreams and aspirations. Happy 4th of July! Enjoy.
