Life

This was just a little creative writing I did. It's not really my genre, but I kinda liked it.

Life is a bitch. She will always have her way no matter what. Every day, minute by minute, man submits to her will, one moment pounding his fists in defiance, another sitting in a corner, alone. Loneliness is his worst fear; she knows that. It is her weapon of choice, the weapon she wields against his stubborn nature. But in his darkest hour, when there is nothing within reach, a resolution is born. That man, with nothing to cling to, fosters a revolution. She goes on, laughing at his faded pride, scoffing at his feeble strength, yet he gets up, fearless, nothing to lose. He stands tall, knowing his weakness, and stares her in the eye as if to say, “Hit me again.” And it is in that moment that she realizes that she has made a mistake. She awoke a will stronger than her own. Any other creature would have given in by now, but this man stands his ground. He knows her power, and the delicate balance of his very existence, but still he stares, and she stares right back. Enraged, she deals him a fatal blow. He dies, realizing that there is nothing now that she can do to stop him. As he fades, his strength grows stronger, and in a moment he is gone, vanquished, yet victorious. His strength lives on, his legacy immune to her strength. He has won, and she can no longer touch him.

Who Said That White Boys Can't Dance?

My sister, Gillian, turned six on Jan. 26, and we kept having to postpone her party, so my parents finally decided to brave Chuck E. Cheese's. It was the first time that I've ever felt like a racial minority. I'm talking about a black to white ratio of 10 to 1, not that I'm complaining; black women are ten times more entertaining than those stupid spoof movies (take The Comebacks and Meet The Spartans, for example). Chuck E. Cheese's, wow, not the average sixteen-year-old's idea of an ideal fun time. I think we made the most of it though. I played a knock-off of DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), and after a few tries, I was doing pretty well, well enough to attract the attention of some passers-by. You can imagine my impish glee after watching a bunch of black people cluelessly trying to play this dancing game, when I got up there and danced like it was nothing. Who said that white boys can't dance?

Hello Blogger. It's Been a While

Five months, to be exact. A fact hat can be attributed to the Facebook community. But I couldn't help but remember my old blog, left all alone, full of outdated personal information. So here I am now, writing a post to appear on this dull black background (which really needs to change). I'm thinking that I might overhaul this blog and start using it again, so stay tuned; I'll be back.

The Great Escape

I don't think that last night could have been more amazing. There is no other place I would have rather been. Youth group in and of itself was fun, especially the new game we played. By the way, we need to think of a name for it. Any ideas? But afterwards, well that was a blast. Rolling down Ritchie Highway blasting The Great Escape with the windows down. How can it get any better than that? Well it can, but don't let me get ahead of myself. We chilled for a while at Starbucks, where I had my first Starbucks, well, anything. Then afterwards, and this was the climax of my night, it was Beccah, Matanda, DJ, Mike and me in the car. Yes DJ, Mike and me moshed to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in the back seat. They got pictures of it, so you'll have to beg Matanda to see those. Wow, last night I got to do some of those things that I've always wanted to do. It couldn't have been better.

Her voice is amazing. wow.
You have to take the link to youtube to watch it.

We The Kings

I'm gonna place my bets that sometime in the next two years, probably sooner, We The Kings is going to become super popular. I first heard of WTK back in January when they played at the Recher with Boys Like Girls (if you look back in the January archive of my blog, I actually mentioned them there). Back then I wasn't very impressed with their music, but just recently I looked them up, and they've recorded some new tracks that are amazing (you can hear these at purevolume.com/wethekings). On top of this, they're one of two artists that have been signed to s-curve records, the label that produced the hits Stacy's Mom and Who Let The Dogs Out, which reopenned a couple weeks ago after a two year hiatus. The band's self-titled debut is scheduled to be released this fall, but I have yet to know the date, or where to pre-order. If you love Boys Like Girls, You'll be crazy about We The Kings. I would've posted a song from youtube, but they're so under the radar right now, that there aren't any up. If you become a fan now, then you can say that you were a fan way before they were big. Over and Out.

Rooney - When Did Your Heart Go Missing
