Its almost here...Summer is Approaching!!!

Today was a good day. I can't complain. I'm just getting back from work and doing my laundry. Its 2:16 am and talking to friends on Facebook and watching Family Matters.


Talked to my Brother-from-another-mother last night. It was good talking to him. Always with good advice and we always talk about the good old days of Middle School at JJHS. Good times, Good times.


Well...finals are this week. Its going to be one CRAZY-ASS-WEEK to say the least, but at the end of it all I will have triumphed no matter what. Thats how I see it.


Not much more to say on here. It is kinda late. I'm praying that everything works out in my favor. I'm tired of getting the short-end-of-the-stick so to speak in life. I want my piece of the pie. Stephen Andrew Robinson deserves to be happy in life just like everyone else. I don't want to be selfish. I'm not asking for much. We'll see how it all goes.

One more thing. Big ups to my moms. I love her and without her I wouldn't be where I'm at now. Happy Mother's Day mama! I love you!



Well. I'm off to La-La Land to count these sheep

Not much to say today

sooooooooooooooooooooooo

Work was str8 last night. I was tired. It was good for the company I had though. You know how I feel about that. If you don't you don't need to know lol

My workout today was really good. I was super tired when I got done with my upper body work out. Surprised I was able to walk upstairs to run around the indoor track. Must have a lot of stamina or something. Who knows?

Today was really laid back. I'm not use to that. I'm so use to studying or working or being in class or being in the gym or recording or writing or doing something that when I do finally get a chance to chill I don't know what to do with my time. I'll probably be headed to bed earlier then usual tonight. I'm not mad at that though.

Got some good music today. Dizzy Gillespie (R.I.P.) who was a trumpet player so I have to give him much props. Donny Hathaway is another old school kat I downloaded. Some good stuff. if you ever get the chance check it out. He's got that smooth style for when your chillEn with your lady and you two are just enjoying one another's company and...you know what the deal is.

Anyways. Tomorrow I won't see a certain person I usually see so that'll be interesting. We'll see how that goes. It'll go good I'm sure.




Well.....

My own worst EnEmy

You ever feel like despite all of your triumphs, all of your hard work, and all of your sacrifice you come to a point when someone is an obstacle that you must overcome to get even further? Well what if sometimes that obstacle in your way was yourself? What would you do then?


Subconsciously I set myself up for failure. Not all the time but a lot of times I'm My own worst EnEmy. Its time I just stop messing up and thinking things are going to be bad when I haven't even gone through the situation. Its like if an opportunity presents itself and its something that would be really good for me instead of embracing it I think regardless of what it is it'll be bad so I sit back in the shadows and watch as my moment of glory is taken by someone else or is gone completely for no one to grasp.



What I'm trying to say is that there is a difference in contemplating on taking a risk after measuring the pros and cons and then taking a course of action vs. doing all of that but then deciding not to do anything. To just sit back and watch as your dreams are forever put on hold because you can't step up and take hold of what you want. Well I'm done with that.

Actions speak louder then words so instead of going on and ranting about what I'm going to do or not do I'll just allow everything I do from This Point On determine the type of character I have. My integrity as a man will not be compromised nor will the many opportunities I wish to pursue.

On a Day like today...

It is 11:43pm...I spent some time with some good friends of mine today. It was good to chill with them in stressing times like these. Dead Week is no joke and Finals will definitely be a challenge but I'm ready and able to tackle any obstacle these tests have to dish out.


(Here is Me, O, Cristal, & Lana)

I spent a good 3 hours and 27 minutes sitting outside talking to my good friends O, Cristal, and Michelle. It was good hanging with them. Talking about relationships, religion, and fraud people.


(Here is Michelle and me)

Got to go chill with one of my new friends today. My homeboy Todd from work. We played the X-box 360. Gears of War II, Street Fighter IV, & Soul Calibur IV. It was some good stuff. Time went by super fast.


I've been thinking lately again on this girl that I know. An interesting relationship she and I have. All I can say is that I'm chillEn on it and right now whatever happens to us is on her. Maybe if I see some changes with us I'll step up again and say whats on my heart to let her know whats up but that makes a brother feel vulnerable for real, for real. But hey...if its meant to be it'll happen.

Well George Lopez about to come on and Ima wake up early to go work out and then go to class, turn in this project, and then just chill until its time to go to work. Gotta make this scrilla!

Insight on what was "Un-sEEn"

To all my fans out there let me say hello! Whats happening!? Hope you enjoyed my last post. Hope that the note I wrote about old and new experiences gave you some encouraging words of inspiration. If not hope you enjoyed anyways.

Not going to talk a lot today about stuff in my life other then the fact that being patient is easier said then done, but I'm staying strong. Just feeling like I'm being thrown around in a circular motion like I was laundry in the drier. I'm hoping that two weeks from now things will have calmed down and I'll be able to touch down on the ground and get my bearings straight.




The topic I wanted to address today was Insight on what was "Un-sEEn". People are always evolving and changing into greater individuals, but if thats true isn't it also safe to conclude that while others are changing for the better that others are changing for the worse.

Or maybe they aren't even changing, but what we perceived of them at first to be genuine and sincere was a mere illusion of what they wanted us to "SEE". I meet a lot of people everyday and when you allow someone into your life and they become a friend you let down your sensors and start a relationship with them. The same can be said about meeting the girl/guy your trying to talk to, but I'm not talking about that. Strictly friendship.

Fraudulent people that pretend to be real people can only keep this up for so long. Eventually someone is going too all them on all of their bull shit. Excuse my French but thats just how it is. If your real then be real and if your fake then be fake. In essence if your fake and being fake then your being real because your showing your true colors and not trying to hide the fact but people that are fake can't keep it real so thats an oxymoron.

I'm basically ranting on, but I'm seeing a lot of individuals for the people they really are. Their true colors are coming out and theres not much I can do about it but keep doing me and pushing it along.

A New Chapter (Prequal)

Its 10:09am and I'm in a good state of mind. I had a good work out this morning. I'll definitely feel this tomorrow morning but its a good thing. I put in some good hours at work this past weekend too so my pay check should look very nice (even though half is going to school, other half to cell phone bill, and other half towards savings for an apartment).

Besides all of that though it is Dead Week. The University that I attend doesn't have a "True Dead Week" however some of the same policies still apply. For the most part it means just stay on your stuff and study all week and if you have class go and get the last bit of information you need.

I feel like switching it up a little. Normally I just talk about what is going on in my life but its time to dig deeper. This is my blog of course so it would mostly pertain to me but lets take a look at another aspect of my life. I feel like writing something deep.

Here goes,



So it seems as one door closes another one comes in its place for us to journey on towards our next destination in life. We have a vague perception about where this road will take us, but life is mysterious so there are many unforeseen challenges lurking in the shadows.

Many tools are bestowed upon us to help through these periods of trials and tribulations. God is the shining Light giving us a clear path to follow. Our family are the voices crying out to us encouraging us to continue treading forward and to never look back. And our friends are the helping hands that pick us back up after we've fallen several times.

As long as we believe in ourselves and have the tenacity to never give up then we shall overcome any obstacle seen or unseen. Patience and diligence are key aspects we must take advantage of to aid us as well. So stand strong, never forget who you are, and go out and get what you want out of life. It wont be handed to you, you have to take it.

Ello-Ello world!!!

I know its been a minute but I'm back. Let me tell you. The past few weeks have been hectic and exciting all at the same time. Its like I said before. Life is suppose to be full of surprises. Uncertainty around every corner. If life were predictable then who would want to do anything? We'd already know what to expect...but luckily this isn't the case.



I've been working a lot lately and the money is really good. I'm also suppose to be moving into an apartment very soon so we'll see how that turns out as well. God willing it will all turn out good.


Today was a chill day for me. My workout felt Really Really good. Let out some frustration and just had fun. Whoever said no pain no gain wasn't joking but at least you know your doing it right. I'll be a little soar in the morning but I'm not trippin. Men can take that sort of pain.



I'm in a relaxed mood right now. Thats good right before bed. Plus I've had a good day of working out so I should sleep well tonight. If you get a chance check out this song by Nujabes I'm listening to. His beats are SICK! Awesome. Kudos to my man Nujabes!





Thats all I've got for today. I've got a long day tomorrow. Finish this long paper and then I have to work. I'll get through it though. Till next time.

See-ya.

And as always...
