Change

A good friend of mine told me:

"To change is to improve yourself, to be perfect you need to change a lot"

I feel like I've changed a lot in the past few years. Perfect? Hardly. But I do feel as if I have bettered myself and improved my out look on life and things to come. Well my birthday just passed and yet I've turned over a new leaf and looking forward to the new beginnings. For years now I felt like one of those damn carriage horses. I had my blinders on and couldn't see anything but what was straight ahead, while somebody guided me there. I am now finally able to take off those blinders and see the world for the first time without being jaded. I see what I want to see and go where I want to go. You see instead doing things that you think others would approve on, do things for yourself and what makes you happy. At the end of the day don't live in sorrow or pity. Don't think of the "what if's..." Think of the "what now?" Things happen in the past, learn from it, grow from it. Change a lot. But change for the better...

Dinner for Two

So I just got back from dinner with a dear old friend of mine. For a while I was shunning of this friend of mine due to my own selfishness and because I thought it was to benefit myself. I took it upon myself to stop being so damn stubborn and to pick up the phone and call her. I’m so glad that I did. You see I keep her very near and dear to my heart and honestly I missed her a lot while I was trying to shun her off. She knows any and everything about me and I know any and everything about her. Sometimes we know each other better than we know ourselves. I was trying to do other things to fill the void when I wasn’t hanging out with her, but things just didn’t seem right. So we met up and at first it was that weird/awkward “Hey, How are you?” moment. But as the dinner went on and we started opening up and catching up, things seemed like they were back to normal. I was able to get some things off my chest and I feel like she did as well… Good seeing you again friend. To many more dinners - 2187

Good Eats

So its been awhile since I have eaten any type of meat. But if I still did...I would toatlly get/make these bowls to eat out of. What dreams are made of...

FRO-YOOOOO

So after my run yesterday, I decided to go get some yogurtland before I hit up the gym for some weight action. When I get there I see 2 hot girls from my gym, in their gym clothes, having a big ol tub of yogurt. So I came to the conclusion that if those 2 HOT GIRLS are having yogurt before the gym...I think I'll be alright. So next you guys decide to go out for some FRO-YO, opt out for the big tub.

I Wanna....

Building Blocks

Growing up I loved playing with Legos. I was never the artistic type, so I always got frustrated building things from scratch. I always had my mom buy me those lego packs that had a pre made sculpture with instructions on how to build it. This was the only way how I knew how to build legos. Open it up, read the instructions, and build it accordingly. Growing older I feel like life and spirituality is a lot like legos. You build it according to how you are taught and never really branch out to build new things. Well I've learned to break out of the norm and build things how I want to build it. Start from scratch and let your imagination free. Who is one to tell you weather or not if your creation is good or not. Its your own! To me, your spirituality is just like legos. You build em, break em, and they are just as easily broken down. But remember, if you they get broken down. Use your knowledge from your previous experiences to build it better, stronger, and bigger. To each...his or her own.

Human Race

So me and Jenster decided over the weekend, by "me and Jenster" I mean I decided and peer pressured her into running in the Nike Human Race. Its a quick little 10k run where all your proceeds go to 1 or 3 charities of your choice. and at the end of the run you get a nice private concert for the paticipants of the 10k run. We so happened to be running in the L.A one and will being seeing YEEZY himself at the Coliseum. So if you are in of the 25 cities participating on 8/31/08, sign up for the good cause and enjoy some music while you are at it. Check it out on http://nikeplus.com/

Throwback Jam of the Week

Digging in the crates over the weekend, I stumbled upon a classic. This song for me was one of the greatest songs of all time. It brought that hip hop / ganster feel to the game. A true all time classic:

BIGGIE SMALLS: UNBELIEVABLE

"Ready to die? Tell God I said Hi"

Poodle on Crack?

So my friend Jen says when she wears her hair like this:

She says she looks like a POODLE ON CRACK...

This happens to be my favorite hair on her. But you decide:

Any comparison?

Friday's FOOD

"It's all about the journey, not the outcome" - Carl Lewis

BE ABOUT IT!

Elevator

Life in some ways can be like an elevator. You up and down without taking the time out to to enjoy things. Its lke your on auto pilot and all your concerned about is getting to that destination. I find that I used to ride the ELEVATOR a lot in the past. I would do things just to do it. I would always put others first and do things I thought was right, just to get to that certain destination that the ELEVATOR took me to. In result it cost me my life, wife, and sight. Well now I learned to get of that ELEVATOR and take the stairs. You have more time to appreciate things. You use your own strengths to get yourself to where ever you are going. You go at your own pace and nobody can tell you to move faster or slower. Learn to live, learn to enjoy, and have some yogurt from time to time...

Thursday's Thought

Why do we work hard to play hard?

Just play while working!

That way you kill 2 birds with one stone...

Trendhumper

Being a heavier guy for a good portion of my life, I never really got into the COOL trends that surfaced throughout the years. You know the early 90's style: tight mock neck sweater with the baggy slacks or the spandex shirts with denim shorts. As much as I wanted to hump those trends, my gladiator like build wouldn't allow it. One trend that has came around and one that I am glad that I don't wanna hump is the SKINNY jeans.

But I can't hate on the style. Remember back in the day when the TIGHT ROLL was COOL.

Some things just never go outta style. I hope people start bringing this back. This is one steez I never stopped humping. So as THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK would say: hang tough!

HAPPY HUMP DAY

HAPPY HUMP DAY Y'ALL. ENJOY!

EMERALD CITY

Night Light

Growing up I never once had my own room till I was around 12. I either slept in my parents room or I shared one with my sister. So I never knew what it was like to be alone. When my sister graduated high school and moved out, I finally got my own room. I was so excited, yet so scared to be alone. For 12 years I never once had slept in a room all by myself. I found myself needing a "Night Light" for comfort. To not feel alone and to be aware of my suroundings. As the years went by I upgraded from the "Night Light" to the TV and eventually my IPOD. I always felt the need to have an ambient noise in the background to help me sleep. In a way I guess it fooled my brain to thinking someone was around or I wasn't alone. Just recently, 15 years later, I find myself finally able to sleep without a "Night Light" or any type of noise in the background. My mind doesn't wander and I am content with being alone. I finally realized that no matter what I do, friends and family will always be there. I will always be LOVED. Here today or Gone tomorrow. The LOVE will always be there. Live in the now and look forward to what the future has to offer. Alone or not, LOVE how you want to be LOVED. Good Night.

Hot Stuff

So I was at the gym this morning getting my workout on, thinking I was "hot stuff" As I glance over and look around the room (I tend to people watch) I see this hot girl lifting weights in the corner. Now I know she was seeking attention cause she was all dolled up at 730am looking all cute in her booty shorts and headband. So as I'm inbetween my sets, I look over to watch her ummmmmmm technique and I start hearing something real strange. SHE WAS GRUNTING!!! WTF? That shit was a turn off. Needless to say I got back to my workout and stopped watching her technique. So any ladies out there reading this, Please leave the grunting to the TOOL MAN on Home Improvement...Just sayin. Thanks

End of the Beginning

So a friend of mine keeps bugging me to start a blog. She says I got "SKILLS" to pay the bills. I've been putting it off for awhile. But shoot, here goes. I'm about to take you thru a crazy/wonderful journey into the mind of EEBON. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the funky ride I'm about to take you thru...
