I just decided that I was going to start writing and end wherever it is I stop.
A vacation sounds nice right about now. I'm debating on what I wanna do with the next month. Thinkin about going to Wild Waves in Tacoma this weekend, but I don't really want to go unless I can get a big group to go! Is a Wild Waves season pass worth buying? go 3 times and its well over paid for, BUT I would also need a season parking pass... Will I even have time to go 3 times? Tacoma isn't the closest as well....
ALSO
VEGAS! all my fam from cali are going for the 4th of july weekend! they want me to go.... do I spend the money on that?!? It would be nice to get away for a bit, but at the same time am I just wasting away money? Isn't that what money is for? to be spent right? Whatever, I'll figure something out.
In other news, it's Tuesday! The day after the dreaded Monday.... The day before the lovely Hump Day! Tuesday's kinda lame! It's definitely cooler than Monday but its not far enough into the week that you have anything to look forward to! You don't say "YES! tomorrow's Tuesday! One day closer to Wednesday!" That only works with Friday. And Wednesday is only cool at the end of the day cuz you're officially past the middle of the week! (over the hump)
What to do with myself... I've been running a lot lately...! it's been fun! hitting 24 hr fitness everyday as well! Filling my time wisely yet just doing whatever I wanna do whenever I wanna do it! I seem to never be home! That needs to change a little. I need a little tiny bit less of a social life! People are starting to drive me crazy!
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Haha. Wow. Apparently I can go on and on about nothing! I just started going and after I hit the " ! " there was a wall. I'm done now. That was entertaining. Thanks for reading!

Happy Father's Day, Mothers!
For 10 straight years of my childhood, my mom played both mother and father to my brother and I. I definitely appreciate the fact that my dad is in my life now, but while he wasn't my mother busted her ass to do everything she could for us and I absolutely love and appreciate her for it. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you mom, I love you so very much! I have an amazing respect for single parents who are doing their best for their children!
To all you single fathers out there, Happy Fathers Day!
Single mothers... even though you recently had "Mothers Day", You deserve a Happy Fathers Day as well!
Although its fathers day, I woke up this morning with half a poem in my head for the single mothers in the world who also play dad. Not sure why... but i finished it and here it is! Have a wonderful day everyone!
Some kids have a mother and a father in one.
A woman who plays both parents to their daughter/son.
This one goes out to single mothers on fathers day
You're amazing, inspirational, that's all there is here to say.
I hear that its a struggle to do it all on your own
But it can be done, I see it in this display that you've shown.
Independent, Strong and Loving definitely describe you
You're appreciated for doing all the things that you do!
Until they're older your kids will take for granted the help that you provide
They'll realize and be thankful that you never left their side.
So as I sit and I reflect on all the words that I say,
I thank you again for impacting my life! Mothers, Happy Fathers Day!

Speak up.
A friend of mine every so often asks me to write a poem and she always gives me a topic to write on... She once asked me to write about hiding the past and confession. I took the time and this is what i came up with.
Without even speaking its easy to see
The real you, not the person you’re pretending to be.
This mask that you wear isn’t fooling anyone
It leaves you in the dark and its blocking the sun.
There are things on your heart that you want to get out
But you’re not too sure because the past brings you doubt.
Confessions clear the mind and give a fresh perspective
They also filter aspirations that are wrong or deceptive.
Take a breath, analyze, and if you decide you wanna share
I'm sure there’s people in your life that will always be there!
Its not a bad idea to keep a secret or two
But confessing in the end will always free you!

I've come to find out that when the time is right, we all say/do what's on our minds and on our hearts. There are times when we want to say/do something, but we just don't. Whether it sits on our mind for a day or a month, it'll eventually get out in the open some way or another.
The saying "don't wait until its too late!" does indeed make perfect sense! At the same time though if uncertain thoughts hinder you from pursuing and it turns out that it's not meant to be, does that mean you waited till it was too late?
The other day while referring to "life changing cool things" I said, "I feel like I should be making them happen (set goals and achieve them) but some things aren't worth forcing." By forcing them, I meant throwing it out there with uncertain thoughts that hinder me from pursuing... I'm not ready, why take the chance? There's always that thrill with chance though. Play it smart? Or be spontaneous?
^ ^ ^ this write is full of rhetorical questions... but at the same time, I kinda want answers from others! : P

Too much going on
I'm really trying to focus on me for a change...
I'm the guy that always wants to help everyone else and I've always been this way! I've been told that I'm too nice and I care way too much about people that don't deserve my attention. Apparently I need to calm that down just a little bit.
I have way too much going on in the world around me that I never seem to be able to focus on myself. I love hanging out with friends though. I'm definitely a happier person when I'm with them! I've been hanging out a lot lately. With some more than others which can be both good and bad... The close friends that I have are amazing and definitely inspirational. I just need a little more "me time." Anyone else feel like they're to involved with whats going on that you forget that you actually exist too? haha.

haha. for poop and laughter!
^ ^ get it? ((shits and giggles))
"When you have your picture taken with Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, does the guy inside the costume smile for the camera?"
"If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?"
"No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning."
"If your in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn the headlights on?"
"Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive up ATM?"
"If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?"

Focus
Yesterday i started writing, but i never finished writing on that topic... I kept the window open on my comp and left work with intentions to possibly finish it today. I just deleted everything I typed so I can write this one...
My older cousin used to refer to my dad as "the jack of all trades, master of none". It's very true! My dad has endless skills when it comes to EVERYTHING, but he is not one of them professionally. He's never focused on one thing solidly enough to master it.
I'm learning that foucsing on one thing at a time is 10 times more rewarding than focusing on multiple things at the same time. Yea it's cool to "kill 2 birds with 1 stone", but its better to get 1 thing perfect in multiple trys rather than multiple half ass things done at one time.
"You get out what you put in"
It goes the same way with people... You invest time in people every day! Best friends, distant friends, family,

"You get out what you put in"
It goes the same way with people... You invest time in people every day! Best friends, distant friends, family,
acquaintances. You pick and choose who you focus on and your friends can say a lot about you. Relationships hold the same principal. If you're trying to start something, shouldn't you be focusing all your attention towards that one person? Dating requires you to divide your attention between the people you date.... doesn't seem too fair to me. Makes it sound like you're sharing! (Unless you're a swinger! haha, then I guess sharing is ok)
What I guess I'm getting at is the importance of focusing. My career, the people around me, my next future relationship, my life.... It's all stuff that mean a lot to me so why go at it half ass? 1 thing at a time. Make it perfect. I deserve what's best for me.
Focus!

2
Here’s the short story of the number 2
It’s a friend to me and a friend to you!
It’s not alone, it’s 2… it is not “1”
And 2 surely knows how to have some fun!
Don’t get it twisted, I’m not talking about the bathroom 2,
This has nothing to do with when you go poo.
Some things only make sense when they come in 2’s
Chop sticks, ear plugs and a pair of shoes.
Holding hands requires an absolute minimum of 2…
It feels amazing when you know what you have is true!
2s come in between numbers 1 and 3.
It doesn’t discriminate, it’s not shallow from what I can see.
Although 2 in a race doesn’t make you first place,
I hope this story of 2 has put a smile on your face!
