Happy Birthday Mama!!!

What you know good? As my manager Todd would say, "Well actually Good is a relative term." lol

My day was a good one. Just exhausted but other then that I cant complain. I shouldn't even trip about that cuz even if you complain its not going to make the situation any better you know? Of course you do.

My mom's b-day celebration was good. She really loved her presents. Especially the pic I made for her on photoshop. It was an original piece by me The 4-EyEd poEt.

I ended up writing a poEm today. I got inspiration during my usual walk back to my room from the Boynton building. It just clicked and when I got back to my room and hoped on the laptop I got to work.

thE Af-r"I"-can/Spiritual Sustenance
By Stephen Robinson

On the corner I stand cigarette in my hand
Pondering how long it'll be before we reach the promise land
Hatred I can't stand Racisism dont understand
I'm tryna teach my boy to be a man
My little brother trippin, girlfriend strippin
And my best friend is dead cuz he was crippin
Life feels like a fable I aint paid my cable
Im just tryna put food up on the table
A nigga is what I'm labbled because of my complextion
Keeping faith till the second resurrection
Giving Honor and Glory to the man that wrote my story
Though my life is full of sin I feel strength from within
Learning tollerance towards my foes I stay on my toes
And dodge every bullet that they may blow
You can have more heat then a Mobster

But no weapon formed against me shall prosper



onE lovE!



Well that about wraps up that. I'm about to watch some episodes of Bleach and then go to sleep. I have to work and study hard this weekend. After this weekend. It'll never be the same again. Off to start another chapter in life!
Wish me luck. I need it. Or better yet pray for me. Through God all things are possible!

Live!!&!!Learn

...Today I woke up in the middle of the night. I'm tired from the looooong week I had. I had just got off work and came home, got on the laptop for a bit, and then drifted off into the dream world. Must've felt a lot of anxiety. Thats usually what keeps me up even when I'm tired. Something that was in the back of my mind. The situation was pissing me off so I finally said Forget IT! Push it along.

Had an interview to do at 10:00 so I got dressed, ate some breafast and made my way towards the field house. It was coo to get a different perspective of how the job is. We here teachers talking about it all the time but to actually speak with someone that is actually doing the work themselves is a totally different ball game. He kept it real too. Told me he used to work for The Daily Sentinal in Nac and that he learned more in his first year 1/2 there then he did his four years in college. And that college teaches you to learn and apply different skills to the tasks your professors ask you to tackle, but the real experience comes from getting your hands dirty and actually doing the work yourself. Thats the type of learner I am. A hands on learner. The interview proved to be very helpful.

I'm getting things prepared for tonight. My mom's b-day is tomorrow but I have to work and she's doing something with her friends so my sister and I are taking our mom out of town, paying for dinner, going out to a movie, give her the presents we got her. You know, that type of stuff. I think she'll really love the gifts I got her.

I'll let you know how that goes.

Thats all for now. I'm doing this earlier then I normally do so I'll probably come on later on and do another post. Until then. Live and Learn.

Learning About "Self"

So there are still a lot of things in the back of my mind. A lot of mixed emotions that I need to deal with. Just feeling like I'm so busy and a lot of pressure from every angle. I know that God wouldn't send me through a trial without knowing that I would prevail with my head held high and making me a stronger man because of it. While I was working out today I felt a lot of stress leaving my body and it literally felt like I was leaving my woes in the dust. I'm looking ahead. No time for looking back.

Thats easier said then done though. In fact I would go so far as to say that I know what I just said isn't completely true. There are a few things prevalent to me that I still hold on to. No matter how much time has gone by. Like Goku said about emotions...their an aide to us. Without mine I wouldn't know where to go. And thats ashame cuz I'm already such and indecisive person. But when I do know what I want to do or pursue or my mind is made up then I know 100% that thats the road I'm seeking and so I'll take that destination.

My emotions are also my greatest downfall. I feel that my kindness is something I especially get taken advantage of with. I'm not saying I'm more honest then you or the next person, but I like to think differently then most people in many situations. I like to think of it as if this were to happen to me, how would I want to be treated in this instance? Its talked about in the Bible. The Golden Rule. I also feel that I've been dealt a bad hand with being to nice when it comes to the ladies, but I'm not going to change. I'll just work hard at every aspect of myself until even my weaknesses become an asset to me. Its like, if you can't beat it join it. If something is wrong with yourself that you cant fix then just work around it, or better yet you and your problem can coincide and strive for victory.

One last thing. I apologize in advance. I realized something today. I was walking to class and I was thinking about a lot of people that I care about and it seems like the ones I truly care about I hurt for no reason. It wont even be on purpose but I think I'm afraid to get to attached to anyone. So somehow sub concisely I sabotage myself without even knowing it. Sounds skeptical I know but I just need to do better with that. Can't be afraid to let the walls down and be afraid to care about someone. Might miss out on the girl of my dreams...

That felt therapeutic to get off my chest. In the famous words of Hiro Nakamura, "Yah Ta!!!!"





I'm not giving up. In fact, I have the sheer tenacity to Never Give UP! Thats something I've always done in the past. Just given up on something after the first try. Its different now. Life is TOOOOO SHORT!!!! I'm going to get out of my comfort zone!

Str8 2 the Point!

You know what? Today was a good day. I got off work last night tired then I dont know what, but its all good cuz I slept really good. Had a productive day. Got a lot of work done and now I'm just relaxing. I don't usually watch reality tv but I just saw that Cocktail won "The Love of Ray-J." She's hot and mexican. I have a crush on a mexican girl right now so thats probably what persuaded me to her side lol its all good. One love. I love all women. I don't discriminate.


What else do I want to talk about? hmmmmm......Not a lot today. I'm about to fall asleep. I have an 8 o'clos class tomorrow and I have to work from 5-12:30. I'm outty 5000.

A Brand New Embargo!!!

EllO, EllO world!!!! How goes it out there!!!!??????

Its been a minute since I've posted a blog. So much crazy ish has happened. My school was threatened to have a shooting on Thursday (the Anniversary of the tragedy that happened at Virginia Tech). Work has been the same. I'm actually going to be moving into an apartment very soon. I'm excited about that. It'll be me fending on my own. Went on a second date yesterday with this girl I worked with. Ana and I had a good time bowling. Then we just walked around for 2 hrs. talking. About dreams, goals, family, likes, dislikes. You know...the usual. She gave me a letter that kinda changed things but its all good.

Its raining cats and dogs right now. I'm listening to ATCQ "Jazz (We've Got)." A classic!!!!!! The Low End Theory is one of their BEST albums of all time!!!


Today has been really slow. I'm thankful that God woke me up this morning. It could be worse. Could've not woken up so to him I give thanks. Talking with Ana yesterday made me feel better about not having a car. She was like, "what do you need a car for? You've got two good legs that you can use to walk around with. you have everything you could want." Thats when I said "well, I don't have everything I could want." Hinting at her. And even though she and I may not get together I value our friendship. She's a good person. She paid for us to go bowling. How many girls still do that??????? None that I know besides her lol I pray that God blesses her and she gets what she wants out of life.

Well. I'm about to go chill. gotta go into work today. My friend b-lard had his 21st yesterday. It was live. Got to see a lot of my friends and a side of one that I'd never seen. Its nothing but love to everybody.

And big ups to one of my BEST friends and Brother Morgan Picciolo! What up Space Cowboy!!! Gave me some advice last night that really made me think about my situation. I knew that he was the only one I could talk to about this girl situation. Appreciate it again Fam. I'll be out there to visit you in Cali this summer. Be on the lookout West Coast. Steve Omari is coming!

Well......

Thats all Folks!

Something New

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that people like to exchange the chocolates and go on Easter egg hunts and talk about the Easter bunny, but now I'm just trying to remember what Easter truly stands for. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our savior. He died for ALL of our sins. Thats true self sacrifice. I just want to say thank you Jesus.



I'm sitting in bed just chillEn right now. This break has been pretty good. Better for me then Spring Break was. Something New has been going on and its pretty exciting. I'm not going to go into details yet because nothing is set in stone but if things do turn out well I'll explain the entire story lol



Other then that I've just been chillEn. My mom and sister came down yesterday and I hung with them until it was time to go to work. We went to my Aunt's house and I saw her, my cousin and her daughter. Learned the Potty dance lol I'm going to make millions by making a song on how to teach kids how to brush their teeth. Its a gold mind lol.

Work was ok. VERY slow. Boring. But one thing made it worthwhile. I'm still kinda tired right now. I'm about to eat some Special K cereal and go back to sleep. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!

Why so Blu???

It is 12:36 am......I just got back. Had a good time today. Things never go the way you plan them, but if you knew how everything was going to go then there wouldn't be any excitement or surprises in life. True, True!



I'm not going to go into details about what I did tonight. Lets just say I spent some time with someone special and had a good time. She even likes the same color as me lol Blue!!! And she loves Chinese Food. I look forward to chillEn with her again.



Not much to say besides that. About to head to La-La Land to count these sheep. Gotta work tomorrow and my family is coming for a lil while to visit.

Wishing on a Star

To wish upon a star to make a wish come true
You see me and you stick together like glue
Opposites attract and yet we're two of a kind
Your an educated sister with a nice behind
Now that thats behind...us, lets discuss
Our situation like adults without the fights and not cuss
Its true that I said I would always be there
But you were the one that said you would always care
For me, the way you felt the day we first met
Connected spiritually this aint about sex
Although we do combine as our bodies intertwine
A master design one heart and one mind
I must be blind. At least thats how love sees
Or yet what it doesn't. the real you saw inside of me
We have our ups and downs. The smiles and the frowns
No matter what though, you gots me, I gots you
Why is that baby? Well, because I Love you

By Stephen Robinson



Whats up world? The kid has returned. Finished my project about an hour ago. Got off of work at 10:00 pm for a change lol It felt good. Now that I'm done with all of those tasks I can really begin to relax. I just have a few strings I need to tie up tomorrow like getting advised and it'll be chillEn.


It is for that reason that I'm not going to talk to long. I thought I would switch it up with a poem I wrote on the spot. Its not a classic but I think it gets the point across. Not anything that I'm going through but I felt the creative juices in my mind flowing. Its not wise to ignore that creativity so I did my thing you feel?



Well, I'm out with the storm (line in a Common song) so Ima just, "Push it Along" (song from ATCQ's 1st Album People's Instinctive Travels And Paths Of Rhythm).

Getting outta my FunK

Ello, Ello world!

It's been a while since I've posted. Sorry! School has had me VERY busy lately. I'm just sitting in my room chillEn right now. It looks nice outside. On a day like this you can't help but be in a good mood. And thats good for me because lately I've been in a FunK and I'm slowly but surely crawling out of it. Guess I've just been so drained from school and work lately and just haven't been feeling like myself but its getting better now.

Friday I went to the movie theater with some friends and saw Fast & Furious. In my opinion its the best out of all of the others. I like them all for different reasons but this one really had a storyline and good acting. Not knocking the other movies. We went to Ci-Ci's Pizza after that....lets just say we had a fun, yet interesting time lol These kats wild for what they said to those girls posing by the wall when we left. You two know what you said ROFL LMBAO!!!

Saw my Fam too. They came down to visit that same day. Mom came and saw me at work yesterday too. It was good to see her.



This week will be shorter then most. Our last holiday is coming up. Easter Break will be from Thurs.-Mon. No food on campus so we gotta fend for our own lol. Its all good. I'll be chillEn and working. I can do that no problem.



Well. Sorry to keep it so short. I'll be posting a lot more soon with the break coming up. Some more poetry and some topics that are on my mind. I' going to switch it up for a while. So until then. Stay up and keep reading.
