Just got back from work! It feels good to be back home. Today was another blessing in disguise. Maybe more so for someone else I know then I but we're all connected so when something good happens to one of us it happens to us all. I just want to thank God for his many blessings. We've all gotten to where we're at thanks to his mercy and guidance. Thank You.
Feel pretty good right now. This week will be a hectic yet satisfying week. Hectic because there is a lot of stuff I need to get done however satisfying at the same time because Spring Break is next week! Ima be on it like Dexter!
When I do get home though I'm going to pull out the Sega Genesis and hook it up and get on that Sonic The Hedgehog 2!!!
Thats just a part of me. I'm a fan of old school and that was the first game I ever played on my very first system! Awesome! Before I leave Ima school some of you kats on Style. Let my boi Lupe give you a heads up on what plateau you need to step up to.
My day was pretty good. Had to go to Wal-Mart to pick up a few essentials and after waiting a long LONG time I was able to get back to my dorm room. Fortunately for me patience is a Good virtuE. Work really wasn't all to bad either.
Before I went to work though I was just chillEn watching "The Game" on BET (which by the way I don't watch BET like I use to. Just so many things I don't personally agree with but hey thats me. Much lovE to the businessmen and women doing their thing. Just not for me lol
Went to a party with some of my friends last night. Just chillEd for a bit. I can truly say that since I've turned 21 I can see a difference in a lot of things. And not just about alcohol b-cuz I don't drink it. Just about life in general. I'm starting to see things more clear. Not the whole picture but certain spots are becoming a lot more vivid and I can understand it a little more.
One of my favorite TV shows "My Wife & Kids is on DVD now. I saw the 1st season yesterday at Wal-Mart. I started to grab it and for a little while it was in my basket and I've been using my money well so I had enough to where I could've purchased this item and not have a second thought about it. But times are rough and you have to look ahead to the futurE. Everything might look clear today but you never know what the forecast will be for the future. A storm might be brewing up ahead so you have to save up for a rainy day. I was really proud of myself and that I made a good judgment call at that point and time. A Penny saved is a Penny earned.
One more thing. I head this song I haven't heard since I was a kid at work last night. "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai. Good song!
I think that Ice Cube would agree that Today Was a Good Day. Had a good work out and working with my group on our project was good too. I love being a DJ and working on the equipment for it! G.T.P. and Dmill frat brother took a trip to Lufkin to get some "equipment." Top Secret Project we working on. I've already said to much. Wouldn't you like to know?!
Anyways lol I really REALLY think its funny when people contradict themselves. Like for instance. If someone was like, Hey Steve-O, don't eat that Burger King Whopper cuz its not good for you. Aww snaps, you thought about taking a bite so ima clown you for a little while. Then they actually go to Burger King and buy a Whopper themselves and got to Burger King a few times. Eating the hEll out of those burgErs. I don't get it...fill me in. Go figurE.
Just finished a h/w assignment that I should've done earlier but I turned it in before midnight so I'm not trippin. I'm doing my laundry right now. I just feel like chillEn on another Friday night. Probably just kick back and watch How High. Nothing to big on my agenda.
Ambreishia, O, & I went to see Will Smith's new movie Seven Pounds. That was a good movie in my opinion. I figured it would be. Its really coo because they don't just give you everything at once. They give you bits and pieces and you put it together yourself. Really creativE and I applaud them for that.
Lately I've been able to see certain people for who they really are. If you give a person some time they'll begin to show their true colors. Some people are who they say they are. Others are not so real. If your fake, then be fake. By all means, in a sense your keeping it real because your not trying to hide it. But hey. Its just me giving you some advice. People are going to to what their going to do regardless. Thats why I'm here. To give people a tastE of the rEal. Something they've been missing. Don't worry world. Steve Omari is here to fill you in on the last piece of the puzzlE. The Rubix cubE master.
Basically. The moral of the story is Live Life to the Fullest!!! People are going to hatE on you regardless so you might as well give them some good ish to talk about. If you got um you must be doing something right.
Today was a blessing in disguise! I must say. Just feel.......excited!!!!!!! Today was amazing!!!!
So its funny....sorry. Where are my manners? How's everything world?
Today was a good day. It started off slow but as the day progressed it got better and better. Got to cash my paycheck today thanks to my roommate. Appreciate it Josh!
Had to edit some photos on Photoshop in the lab and it took forever b-cuz everything was acting up like a bad toddler. after about 45 minutes I was finally able to get everything working.
Ate lunch today with a friend of mine. It was good cuz we hardly ever see each other and I got to learn a little more about her. She's coo. Some more of our friends where there and we just all sat and talked about Back in the Dayz and getting whoppings and what not lol
Went to the Walk it Out dance competition SAA had going on. It was pretty coo. Hands down the Time Travelers killEd that ish!!!! It was off the chain. They did the Kid-n-Play they even did Micheal Jackson!!!! Getting the glove and hitting that moon walk! Thats whats up. Big ups to those guys.
At the end of the day I must say that I had fun with my friends. Shout out to everybody that was there! And the ones that couldn't be there, but were there in spirit. I had a good time there. Didn't even plan on going at first lol
I must say if you just sit back and chill things will play out better then you could've ever expected. Its funny how things happen when you least expect it too. I just stopped trippin and just did me and fatE ended up in my favor. *Knock on Wodd* of course b-cuz I don't want to jinx myself, if you believe in that sort of thing. I'm just going to take everything a day at a time. You could say I'm taking it slow like a Snail.... That sounds like a coo title..and Facebook status lol
Everyday isn't a good one but I feel like I took 2 steps forward and the other person did too. Only timeE will tell.
Yesterday didn't start of to good but as the day went on I gained an appreciation for at least being here. And I had a revelation at the one place I would've never thought to have this type of realization. At Work!!!
Classes were long and unbearable!!! But I had to get up and go because we pay WAY TO MUCH $crilla to miss even a day. I was tired then a mug though. I persevered though and continued with my three classes for that day. Went to the UC and got my to go plate and when I was done I crashed hard!!!! I took a good nap, I'm talking slobber coming out of my mouth when I woke up lol But I didn't want to go to work....but I did.
So events happened at work that made me feel a lot better because not only was I trippin about school but this girl situation (wasn't to much trippin on it as much, just the thought of my next move lingering in the back of my mind). My boss, Ms. Sharon, was really coo. She just makes everybody do WAY more stuff then your suppose to. Everything is suppose to be spotless!!!
Got paycheck so I wasn't tripping. I figure might as well earn my keep and even if you complain its not going to make the situation any better. I was going to be there from 5-12:30 so I might as well make the most of it. Ms. Sharon was telling me and the other ppl working there about her and the man she's been dating for 4 yrs. and how she was blessed. She was telling us the ups and downs she's had in life and said she wasn't taking anything for granted. She almost lost him twice last week cuz he was very sick. She's gone through a lot of heartbreak. It was at that point I started to see how minuscule my problems were.
She's gone through the Wire, even through the Fire! Yet she still stands and continues on with life. Mann. Thats great encouragement. Gotta give her props. She's a good woman cuz now a days not that many women would stand by a mans side through the thick and thin. Most (not all) but majority just want that money. If I'm forunate to find a woman that'll stick by my side for the good and the bad, the ups and downs then Ima try my HARDEST to make that stuff work!
So towards the end of work when I was in the back cleaning the store I just let it all go. Said its time to Kick back and relax and give Stephen some me time. Excuse my French, but Fuck the bull ish! I'm not a selfish person and by no means do I think we should put ourselves before others in most cases, but in some instances (and this is one of those instances) I say you have to. I call it, Gaining Knowledge of One's Self.
All the lil ish I was sweating I'm not going to. I call this Grind Mode! and in this mode I'm accomplishing things! I'm going to be on these books hard and not sweat these little hatErs! If your being hatEd on thEn you must be doing something right. Right? lol And with ole' girl I'm not even trippin. I've learned a lot this past year on relationships from observing others as well as going through one of my own and I'm just going to let it go. Like Jay said, "Let it go and if it comes back its yours, if not, then it was never meant to be." Plain and simple.
ello, ello world!!! Steve Omari: The 4-Eyed Poet has returned from his slumber lol
I don't remember what I was having a dream about...probably owning a pair of new VANS my favoritE shoE!!! Their off the wall!
I just got done talking to a good friend of mine. Aaron Scott a.k.a. Nemesis. He too is a Hip-Hop artist and Poet. He gave me some good advice a while back. I've yet to perform any of my material on stage but he said, "No one will ever know if your good if you don't give them the chance to listen to your words." And he is right. I plan to go to my schools next Open Mic Night and recite one of my latest poems entitled Just BE=Yourself. Shout out to Nemesis one more time! He reminded me of something I said a while back in one of my songs called "The Dream". He said this is his favorite line, "If theres no Risk involved, then theres not much to Gain" and I thought about it and its true lol I felt bad cuz I said it and I need to take my own advice but I look forward to getting up on a stage and performing my routine.
One more thing. My Homeboi, Ya Boy O just dropped his solo Mixtape Hands Down so if you haven't downloaded it yet you need to!!!!! Its got a lot of guest appearances including The 4-Eyed Poet.
I'm going to list my day but not in sequential order.
Work was crazy. People need to get some act right when they come into an establishment of any type and demand service. I'm a nicE Guy but at the same time people can only do so much and I can only turn my cheeks twice. After that its strike 3! lol
But its all good! But after I got off at 12:45 a.m. my Aunt & cousin came and picked me up. I was thankful because most of the time I have to walk back and tonight was VERY COLD lol When I got back to my room though I realized that my phone was not in my pocket. My roommate took me back up to work but it wasn't there. I felt like a part of me was lost. People that know me and the cellular phone I own can honestly say I've got a basic ass phone and I'm always dogging it, but when we got back to my dorm and my cousin was there with my little basic phone I was happy! and said from that moment on, (and you can quote me on this) "I'll never dog this phone ever again!"
Tell me why a bunch of.....um......unattractive ladies came into the store tryna flirt with a brother lol I find that ish amusing. I'm not Denzel or anything, but I'm not JJ from Good Times either! Now everyone is beautiful on the inside because we're all of God's children and that means we're all equal. No If's Ands or Buts about that. Just.....if your not on a certain lvl and you just come off the wrong way, don't approach me lol If a brother is at work and I'm looking tired ladies, wait till you see me on campus. I know, I know. You cant wait that long, but anything worth obtaining in life takes patience.
And speaking of that I should stop lol. I'm confident and overcame a LARGE obstacle today dealing with rejection. I'm a patient person and don't try to rush things if it can be helped. There is a certain girl I'm trying to get to know on a more personal level. It just seems like every time I take one step closer she takes two steps back. I thought things were going good today. Better then they ever had. I asked her to lunch so there wouldn't be any pressure on her. Its in an open area with a lot of people, plus everyone has to eat. Its The Food (sorry, its a Common song. I had to point that out). Basically I've been hurt in the past and felt hesitant about even perusing anyone, however I had an eye opening realization over the Christmas Break. In life you don't get second chances so if an opportunity comes knocking you should open that door and see where that road takes you. Thats how I feel with this person. I'm not one to give up. I think there is a chemistry here that has yet to be experimented. So I'm going to keep redoing my hypothesis until the effort is matched and the conclusions are all good.
Anything worth obtaining is going to need some work put in. It'll all pay off in the end. Regardless of the outcome.
That was a lot to take in lol but today was just one of those types of days. But I'd rather be here to see it then 6 feet under.
I guess thats it for now. Oh yea. I'm jamming this song right here. Its a cult classic and I really really love this song. "The Light" by Common
Oh yea. Another good one is "Sunshine" by Lupe Fiasco off of his Food & Liquor Album.
"Never met her before, but I think I like her like a Metaphor, Its hard to get"
