Today....
What's up, today was a productive yet tiring day. Woke up around 12 ish, loafted, watched some shows. Headed to church at like 3 ish for worship practise...on a saturday, I know -_-...ended at like 5:30 ish, just in time for my driving class at 6. Only thing was dude came at 6:30 -_-...waited around 30 minutes for this dude. Finally got into the car and drove, he said I'm def really good, turning is dope now, 3 point turns are nice, gotta be more confident and parallel parking, gotta figure out a 45 degree angle, that's all. Been a long weekend, from planning all day friday to leading friday night, to back at church on saturday, then driving. Then tomorrow I'm leading songs, followed by a meeting at Bridal Trail Baptist Church, then back to my church for worship practise again...sigh, then driving at 1 on Monday, then ball at night like 8 ish. Can't find my indoor gym shoes...mad cheese, they're either in my locker at school or at home somewhere...
From The Heart: Life Part 2
Life is tough, it's filled with obstacles, trials, temptations, problems, everything. But it's all apart of life, it helps us grow, mature, learn and become better people. As of late, at the first sigh of trouble and problems, people seem to give up, run away, sweep it under the carpet or avoid it in general. That's just really disappointing man, when you're given a test or a puzzle or something and you can't solve it, do you just give up and be like uh whatever I'll just fail, no...you try different methods, figured out where you went wrong, try to fix it, don't stop until you get it. Life is the same thing...when life throws an obstacle at you, you're not gonna be liek...you know, I'm too tired, it's too hard, I'm just going to stop where I am and live life the way I am for the rest of my life. As humans, as people...we're meant to grow, learn from each other, our surroundings...we're meant to change, adapt, become better. It really annoys me when people run away from their problems thinking it'll go away, thinking someone else will do it for them. how do you expect to grow as a person. If you constantly run away from the same problem, it won't go away, it'll keep coming back and everytime it comes back, you'll run away. If life were easy, it wouldn't be worth it. A rollercoaster isn't fun if it only goes down. It's the ups in the rollercoaster that make you nervous, excited and ready for the downs, it makes the downs more fun. In life, if everything were fine and dandy, rainbows and flowers...yeah you would be happy, but you wouldn't relaly appreciate it. It's the downs, the pains, the tears, the blood, the sweat that makes you appreciate everyhting so much more, that makes it worth it, that makes you appreciate all the little things that you've been through. You can't have a rainbow and sun without having a little bit of rain you know, It's not how far you STILL have to go, but it's HOW FAR you've already come. If you just ran straight from the start line to the finish line, yeah you finished but so...if you go through obstacles, trials, tests, things designated to STOP you...you'll feel so much more accomplished, because it took you so much effort and work to get there, you'll appreciate it more. That's what I'm saying...problems are apart of life, but conquering it makes life so much more enjoyable and fun. Yeah it's hard, it's painful, you don't wanna at times...but you have to come at it with a positive mentality. You don't approach a test thinking, oh man I'm gonna fail, otherwise you've already failed. You don't go into war thinking, what if we lose, what if I die...cuz then you will. You have to attack life with a positive mindset, find the good even when things seem bad. You have waaaay too many things in your life to be HAPPY and THANKFUL for to be sad and mad about a few things that aren't going your way. That's just me man, life is important, precious, cherish it, appreciate it, life it, enjoy it.
From The Heart: Friendship Part 3
Check out parts 1 and 2 if you haven't, search it up in the bar on top. Anyways yeah, I wrote this on my phone a while ago so I wouldn't forget and I forgot about it, but found it now and I remember. I was thinking about friendships and just relationships with people as a whole. I was thinking like wow...I've really drifted away from some people, grown apart from a lot of people who I was really close with. At the same time, I've grown close to lots of people who I'd never thought I would have in a million years, and lastly...all the people who I've maintained close relationships with and have known for quite a long time. It's just sad...the people I've drifted apart from, especially the ones who I was really close with, the ones who I use to share my world with, tell my world to, invite them into my life, my heart. To see how far we've grown apart, to casual individuals and casual conversations, damn. Then there's the people who I'd have never thought I would grow close to, to let them in on my inner most secrets, my world. It just shows you...that you have to give everyone a chance, because as great as it is to be friends with people who have similar interests, it is true that opposites attract...you never know who you can bond with, talk to and just chill with. You just have to give people a chance...some people say they're open to meeting new people, but they really aren't...what they're really saying is I wanna meet people who are exactly like me or people who like the same things as me...they aren't really giving a chance to everyone. Lastly...the people who I've known for a long period of time and have been close with throughout all that time or maybe lost it for a bit but renewed it later on. It's crazy to think how long we've known each other, how much we've been through, endured, experienced. These people are really dear to me cuz I grew up with these people, these people were there for me...they impacted me, influenced me. Friendship is so powerful, everyone needs somebody...as smart, strong or independent as someone is...we all need someone...to love us, care for us, comfort us, teach us, learn from us...whatever. We all need somebody, I love my friends and I value each one of them. There are my friends who we share interests, play sports together, game together...there are my friends who we can talk to about anything, share anything, be ourselves...there are my friends who we are so different, from different cliques...yet we get along so well. I have friends of all different shapes, sizes, cliques, races, cultures, backgrounds, interests...anything...you never know who you're going to click with and you never know who you're going to just have chemistry with...you have to give everyone a chance, a real chance. I'm thankful for all my friends and all the situations that led me to me meeting them...yeah, I love my friends and everything they've done for me, all the times they've been there for me...I love them with all my heart and I would die for these people, they are my family away from home.
70,000 HITS
Wow....I have so much to say in the next few posts so I'll keep this one short. But uh...wow, can't believe we made it this far and have kept going for this long. But I'm not satisfied yet, I'm still hungry, I have big dreams for that million, but one milestone at a time and I'm aiming for 100k first. Thanks for all the support, love, hate, hits, everything. It means the world to me. Till 80,000 hits....peace.

Random Thoughts
I know it's a long way away, but being so close to 70,000 hits has be dreaming of that 100,000 and how good it's going to feel...like hitting a game winning shot...like your first kiss...like graduating...oh man I can't wait, but as usual...quality over quantity, I'm gonna give you my heart first...if the hits come in, so be it.
From The Heart: Respect
When I was in grade 9, I was shy, I was scared, I would mind my own business cuz I was new to high school, I didn't have seniority, nobody knew me, I didn't know anybody. RESPECT is something EARNED, NOT, I repeat NOT GIVEN. When I was in grade 9, I knew there were 3 older grades in the school, that I would have to work my way up and would get more privileges and respect as I got older. I respected everyone else cuz they were older than me, been here longer than me and know how everything runs. Kids nowadays are so obnoxious and full of themselves. Kids nowadays step into high school and DEMAND respect...I'm like well excuse me...didn't you just graduate elementary school...you're leaving the pond to come into the OCEAN and you're demanding respect? You're still a goldfish and you're entering the ocean...and you want respect? Are you flipping serious..? Respect is something earned, not given. Kids nowadays think they run things and automatically feel they deserve respect when they haven't done anything to earn it. Like little boy, little girl...let me remind you you are a rookie in a veteran's world. You're a youngin' in a man's world. You're the youngest of 3 older grades and you think you're just gonna gain respect just like that. I don't care what your name is, who you know, who you're related to...what have you done to earn my respect? What have you done in general that is worthy of my respect. When kids come up all obnoxious and stuck up like they run things, it really annoys me cuz when I was a kid, I would get smacked up for that but it wouldn't happen because I KNEW MY PLACE. I knew I was in grade 9, I was a big boy in the pond, but I was stepping into the ocean and had to slowly learn the ways and gain respect. Kids these days are becoming more arrogant, proud, stuck up, obnoxious...they WANT and think they DESERVE things before realizing they haven't done anything to EARN it...damn. What's up with the world....holy....

Today....
Was a long day that just seemed like forever. Woke up and went to all you can eat sushi. The sushi was fine, but the service was terrrrible, I knew going in that it would be slow and inefficient, but I thought I could handle it, wrong. It was soooooo slow, barely gave us all our food, gave it to us soooo late that we were full by then, like wtfffff. Went home chilled, went out with my friend again to mcds and just chilled, talked. Then went to church for ball, I was so off, I still haven't gotten my groove back yet, I dunno what's wrong with me. To top it all off, my friend brought his boys who were mad obnoxious...those are niners for you...damn. they were complaining, talking ish, making a hassle for everyone, long story short, I was not having a good day and it kept getting worse...luckily I kept calm...damn.

Logic - Growing Pains II
Heard this dude a few weeks ago in my friend's car, thought he was dope but never checked him out. My other friend showed me him again and he's soooo dope, this is the song he showed me. He's lyrically a beast...like if you actually pay attention to his words, these are the artists I really admire, the ones who use words and just tell a story.
Picture of the Moment
Today....
Hello...so today, went to school, my friends from Ryerson came. We played ball, for some reason, these past few days...I've been so off, I dunno why, guess I gotta go back to the free throw line and get my groove back. But yeah, I just need to keep playing, keep exposing myself to different situations to get better. We played full court today with a bunch of big guys and we got absolutely destroyed, mostly cuz they were so much bigger than us but also cuz we weren't that confident coming into the game in the first place. But yeha, just gotta keep practising, keep playing to get comfortable in all scenarios. Was so tired today, driving class at 6 got cancelled cuz the dude was tired hahahah, lucky for me. Right now just chilling, almost at 70,000...excited haha. And as far as it may seem, the 3rd anniversary of the blog is right at the end of the block...December is creeping up soon. Stay tuned...

Ludacris - Growing Pains
I was listening to my old burnt CD's and came across this song...it's so slow and relaxing and the chorus really gets me...damn...can't wait to see what other songs I forgot about in my old CD's
Beyonce - Love On Top
I forgot where I heard this, it was either a cover, through some commercial or whatever...but it was mad catchy and I remember she performed this on some award show...so I checked it out again and it's actually a dope song and Beyonce herself obviously looks stunning.
Today....
What's up...woke up at like 1 ish today, felt really tired. Again, I really need to stop sleeping so late which will help prevent me waking up so late as well cuz I won't be that tired. So woke up, went to lunch with my dad. Went to Tim Hortons cuz my friend works there and he's trying to get me a job. So what was supposed to happen was I was supposed to go and talk to the manager. I went my resume and ish, asked the lady can I talk to your manage, she leaves, come back and gives me an application to fill out saying the manager will talk to me after. So I fill out the application, give it to her, she leaves, comes back and goes oh she's really busy but she'll call you for the interview. I was like oh ok...I told my friend and he's liek wtfff...she was supposed to have a legit conversation with you -_-....cheeesed, oh well, whatever happens happens. Right now, just chilling, can't believe this week is the last week of classes, damn. Summer is peaking it's head out at me cuz it's sooooo close.

The Game - The City feat. Kendrick Lamar
The video...the song is so dope cuz Game comes so hard and Kendrick Lamar is up and coming and he reminds me so much of J. Cole cuz his lyrics tell a story and he goes hard as well. They're both from Compton too...Kendrick Lamar even got props from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre...Compton LEGENDS.
Today....
What's up...woke up today, the usual...got ready, went to school. Played ball, it's been really empty as of late...probs cuz it's exam time and everyone is studying and stuff. Anyways, some dude injured his knee today, like twisted it or something, he told me he had hurt it before. It was really deja vu for me since I dislocated my knee in grade 10 and had to wear a cast for like 6 months...scary thought. But yeah, his was nothing serious thankfully, but my prayers go out to him. What else...oh yeah, it was surprisingly cold today...I was debating to wear a light jacket vs a heavy jacket but not winter heavy. I went with the heavy jacket and it was a smart choice, it was sooooooo cold outside, damn. I saw people wearing liek gloves, toques and Canada Goose jackets lol. Afterwards just went home, chilled, gamed. Heading to Tim Hortons tomorrow to drop off my resume cuz my friend works there and he put in a good word, so I'm gonna talk to the manage tomorrow and we'll see what happens. This week is the last week of classes, so next week my summer officially begins...so fast. Gotta sign up for the gym, keep playing ball...hopefully I get the job, get my license soon, do insurance classes, just to name a few...got lots of things to do. Can't wait....

From Me To You..
For all the people who thought we fell off, y'all got too comfortable. Don't celebrate too early when the race isn't even over yet little man. I'm slowly but surely breathing life into this blog myself, this is my life, my creation...this is me. Every obstacle, trial, problem, whatever is thrown at me and whatever I have to face, I'm ready...I'm not as weak willed as you'd like to assume I am. This blog is here to stay brah...but you "haters" do have a special place in my heart cuz y'all provide me with tons of spark and motivation to keep doing what i'm doing, thanks.
Today....
What's good? Had church today...slept in a bit like 10 minutes so I was like a tiny bit late. Missed praise team practise for driving class, did more turns, left turns, parallel parking, etc. Went home, loafted...went with my brother to pick up my dad from work and I drove the car for the first time. DOPEEEEE! I was real comfortable, especially since there was no driving instructor constantly talking and ish. What else...I feel like some people in my life are real hard to please or it's really hard to be their friend or get them to open up. I try to message them but they're real unresponsive and they don't give much back, so how am I supposed to make a conversation out of that. I took the initiative to start it...my only assumption is they don't wanna talk...so I guess I've just been wasting my time...eh, what can you do. Sometimes I wish I could get away from Markham to a place where I don't know anybody and nobody knows me...a fresh start. And on the flip side, sometimes I wish I could go away with a few REAL CLOSE friends and just chill and have fun.
Notorious B.I.G. - Sky's The Limit feat. 112
The beat is so calm, yet so dope at the same time. But the chorus by 112 definitely kills it...I might check out more of BIG's music...since he was considered one of the greatest.
From The Heart: Problems
Everyone goes through problems, everyone has things they worry about and stress about. What annoys me is that some people sulk in their problems, let it consume them. Some of my friends who go through things, they assume it's the end of the world. They turn their "bad" situation and blow it out of proportion and make it seem 10 times worse that it actually is. This is moreso for girls than guys for some reason. And for all you girls who say guys are emotionless or don't feel anything...speaking for myself at least...I go through things, trust, I'm not the best at dealing with it, but I don't let it control me and ruin my life, I fix it, I get over it, I learn from it. Some people complain and complain how their problem will never be fixed and stuff like that, they shut out everyone in their lives and think they can deal with it by themselves. Seriously...that's like trying to win a basketball game by yourself when you have 4 other teammates on the court with you. You have friends who are willing and wanting to help you, to lift the burdens off your shoulders, yet you don't want them to. But yeah...every problem, no matter how big or small, is not impossible. It's all how you perceive it and how you take it on. If in your head, you're already thinking, oh man...this is the end of the world, this is terrible, I can't take it...if you're like that at the first sign of trouble, obviously it's going to just eat you up. Everyone goes through problems, you're not alone, you have friends, family, people you can talk to. Each problem is an obstacle that will help you learn, make you stronger. You don't approach a test with the mindset, I'm gonna fail...cuz you're obviously gonna fail. Same with everyday problems, it's all apart of life, you can't expect to grow as a person if you never conquer your fears. But yeah...that's just my 2 cents.
Avant - When It Hurts
When I was taking a walk today, this song came up and I kept repeating it, I love it...

Adele - Someone Like You Cover
I like listening to covers of dope songs and I found this girl who covered Adele. It's from the same user who I've seen other covers from so I listened to a bunch more from the same use and found this girl. Her name is Jerogia and I think she's only 14...damn. Check it out...
Random Thoughts
What up, today only thing I had to do was driving class at 4:30, today was my second last one. Went into the car and there was a mad sexy girl in the back lol. Anyways, did lots of left turn practise then ended off with parallel parking practise. Didn't practise any 3 point turns, think I should be confident with that, my left turns and turns in general are solid. Parallel parking is solid, I just need to make sure I get a good 45 degree angle on the car before I finish off. Came home and chilled, watched some Naruto, loafted. I don't think there was any sun today...and it was surprisingly cool/chilli today. One thing to note of is less than 1,000 hits till we hit 70,000...that's gonna be real dope, that's for sure, sorry to say I have nothing planned atm...but I def got inspired as of late to do something, so we'll see if I get finish it and get it out on time, hopefully.
Good Morning
What's good y'all, I woke up at 2...can't believe it, well I guess I kinda can since I slept at 3 -_-. That's a really bad habit I should avoid trying to get into, especially when summer hits, I don't wanna sleep really late and wake up super late cuz there goes like half my day you know? Like today for example, woke up at 2, there goes more than half my day lol, got driving class at 4:30. Doesn't feel like a saturday, maybe cuz it's so gloomy and cold outside, who knows.
From Me To You....
I feel like my heart hasn't really been into the blog lately. I've been getting lazy, more days go by with no posts, lacklustre posts...I dunno what's wrong. Views are down...well besides stat wise, I can feel it too. I think I'm getting to caught up with being commercialized...by that I mean, trying to blow up. I get on people's backs about rappers with no substance and all they talk about is guns, sex, money, girls, etc. Me doing this blog simply trying to blow up is pretty much the same thing, no substance...no heart in my posts. I think the whole "hits" and "views" has really gotten to me, where I really do my best to try to get the blog out there to increase that number and I choose quantity over quality. I think I'm going to do my best to really go hard, cuz i feel like I owe you guys, like there's been so many post-less days. Damn...that has never happened I don't think. But yeah, in the month of April and starting now, I really am going to try to put my heart into these posts. A lot of the times, when I get home late or I see I haven't posted all day, I rush and I try to find some random video or song, which I'm listening to or am into atm and just post it on the blog. I think i'm really going to try to sit down for an hour or 2 or at least start with like 30 minutes and just blog you know, relaly put my heart and put some effort into this and really give back to you guys because you guys give so much to me I feel I owe you guys so much. I'll still advertise it and throw the blog out there so people notice it...but I'm really going to focus on putting my heart into this blog. I was watching this video about some dude talking about blogs and tumblrs and he's like yeah, back then a blog or a tumblr would be pretty much an online diary where you can just write about whatever you want, nowadays he's like it's all reblogging pictures and videos and things that aren't your own, I'll still do that don't get me wrong, but I wanna give you guys more of me and a glimpse into my life, you know. That's why I changed up the blog a bit, added some things here and there, took out some things here and there. And the hits...they'll come, but it won't be my number one priority right now, it'll still be important, but I'm not going to let it be my foundation, where I crack and try to do everything in my power to get more hits. I'm just going to be myself and post whatever I want and how I feel and things I feel should be seen, read or watched and if the hits come, they come, you know. Anyways yeah, it's 3 am right now, been sleeping really late lately, summer is literally right around the corner, the weather has gotten gorgeous as of late. Lots of things coming my way like I've said...possibly job, changing programs for school, praise team, teaching sunday school, church retreat, church committee stuff, get a gym membership, keep playing ball, chill with friends, tuesday movies, girls, dramas, all that stuff....is headed my way and headed your way too cuz you bet I'll be keeping you updated with in on my blog and on twitter as well. So don't be shy, feel free to follow me on twitter @RTtheRealest
Today....
Was a chill day. Woke up and heard it was raining so it was gloomy. Loafted a bit, when it stopped raining I went out to play ball for an hour then came in and loafted some more before heading to church and now I'm home lol. Nothing special...recently started watching Naruto and been really into that lately lol...

Today....
Woke up, loafted in bed for a while. My chest still felt really really sore. Played ball outside for a bit...the weather has gotten really nice, still kinda hot ish but I'll survive hopefully lol. Went early to church and threw the frisbee around outside for a bit, felt nice to really throw it around with people who know how to throw it back, etc. Then played ball at church, so dope...I can actually see myself improving and see my improvements as well, basketball never stops. Now I'm just home, chilling.

Cover Of The Moment
I'v watched this cover AT LEAST 30 times NO JOKES....probably more, it's so good and she's so cute...damn...
Today....
What up...today was a beautiful day. Woke up and it was amazing weather outside, wore my Supreme shirt and some khaki shorts, I love the sun, but I don't like when it gets too hot cuz then you sweat just standing around. I like it sunny with a bit of chill...not too windy cuz then you can't play ball cuz it'll blow away. But yeah, went to school...played ball with people and stuff for a while, jammed my finger though -_-, but it was fun. Gym was less crowded today, I think it's cuz it's exam time, so it'll probably be less packed as the library gets more packed lol, lots of people outside just sitting, eating and studying today cuz it was so nice out. Came home, chilled, napped, had driving class at 6:30. Drove around some more for practise, did some 3 point turns, learned how to parallel park and went on the highway as well, highway was mad fun cuz you get to go fast, I went 110 and there's so much space around you left and right, behind and front. Parallel parking wasn't too bad, did it 3 times, once with his help twice by myself...hopefully I can get the hang of it. DOPE news, so it was my 5th driving class meaning 2 more cuz my mom paid for 7. He's like once you do this you can get your g2 right away...don't really need insurance classes right away, I can do those after...DOOOPE!

From The Heart: Faith
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
A friend commented on my status and posted this and it really spoke to me, I accidentally deleted the status by accident though. But yeah...this was just a real eye opener and it really related to me as just as of late, faith has been a big thing for me and just trusting God and knowing that He has a plan for me and whatever happens is all apart of His plan. It reminded me of when a pastor came and told us that God puts you in every situation for a specific reason, whenever He puts you in a situation, He will also provide a way out. He knows your limits and whatever He throws at you, He knows you can overcome. But at the same time, my other friend said, sometimes...He will make it so overbearing and hard...but ONLY so you can understand and realize that it is ONLY through Him that you can accomplish anything. So yeah...this verse speaks to me in so many different ways. God sees the whole blueprint, the whole puzzle, the finished product. We only see what is in front of us...one piece of the puzzle...so as hard as things may seem at the moment, years from now, we'll look back and be like wow...God was really in control and everything was alright, it wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. I'm slowly learning to trust God in any and every circumstance...for He WILL provide for me.
A friend commented on my status and posted this and it really spoke to me, I accidentally deleted the status by accident though. But yeah...this was just a real eye opener and it really related to me as just as of late, faith has been a big thing for me and just trusting God and knowing that He has a plan for me and whatever happens is all apart of His plan. It reminded me of when a pastor came and told us that God puts you in every situation for a specific reason, whenever He puts you in a situation, He will also provide a way out. He knows your limits and whatever He throws at you, He knows you can overcome. But at the same time, my other friend said, sometimes...He will make it so overbearing and hard...but ONLY so you can understand and realize that it is ONLY through Him that you can accomplish anything. So yeah...this verse speaks to me in so many different ways. God sees the whole blueprint, the whole puzzle, the finished product. We only see what is in front of us...one piece of the puzzle...so as hard as things may seem at the moment, years from now, we'll look back and be like wow...God was really in control and everything was alright, it wasn't as bad as I made it out to be. I'm slowly learning to trust God in any and every circumstance...for He WILL provide for me.

Today....
How y'all doing? This morning I was reeeeally tired. Woke up, went to church...Sunday's are gonna be real long from now on with no ball after service...sigh, what can you do? At Sunday school I really felt like it was a lecture...started zoning out and doing my own thing. Afterward, went to lunch before praise team practise, had an interesting talk with my youth pastor about relationships LOOOOL. Went back for practise, after practise, headed to the park with a few friends and just threw a frisbee around, the weather was amazing and it was nice to finally get to tossing the disc around...but it's not fun playing with people who don't know how to play -_-. Other than that, I'm just chilling right now, can't wait to go back to school tomorrow and play ball. I should be stress free since I don't have any classes, yet I feel like I still have so much to worry about and so much on my shoulders and my mind is really heavy right now...I dunno. I just wanna get away sometimes with close friends and just have fun.

Today....
Wassup...today was just another day. Wasn't sure if my driving class was at 11 am or 3 pm...but woke up at like 12 ish...no missed calls, so it was at 3 haha. Gamed for a bit, then had driving class, I'm definitely comfortable with driving now, reversing is definitely getting better. 3 point turn needs improvement and I need to keep reminding myself after a left turn to switch to the right lane cuz it's the slow lane. And also when driving normally, look first before you turn on your signal then you look again then switch. But when you turn left and are planning on switching right, you turn on your signal first then look then turn. Gotta remind myself of those things, but yeah overall he said my driving has improved so much and I'm such a boss lol. I thought I'd be super tired from the sleepover still, but I'm really refreshed, I slept at like 2 ish and woke up at around 12 closer to 1 ish...guess that was enough sleep lol.

I think I may be a bit late on this but Jeremy Lin posted a video with Landry Fields about their "secret" handshake lol...check it out

LOL Of The Moment
My mom just asked me she's like you were singing on Sunday right, leading worship for service...I was like yeah, she's like a few of my friends saw/heard you and said you were really good....LOOOOOOOOOL I'm dying.
LOL Of The Moment
Sup...lol so I was talking to my mom this morning on the way to the bus stop. For some reason, old people back then had a lot of kids...my mom has 3 siblings so 4 in total and my dad has 4 siblings so 5 in total. Nowadays, you see people have liek 1-2, 3 at most. But yeah...so my mom is the oldest of 3 girls and 1 boy. Her brother Roy is the youngest and back she was telling me how back then, her and her sisters would like to wear makeup and do their nails, etc...and their youngest brother Roy would be like, I don't get why such pretty girls would want to cover their faces with makeup and do their nails like Dracula...LOOOOOL they would get cheeeesed. My mom was like, because he was the only boy, they would play dressup with him and put makeup on him and also since he was so young, he didn't really know what was happening HAHAHHA. What else...oh yeah, in Singapore, once you turn 18, you gotta join the army...so in the army, my mom's brother Roy didn't get enough sleep one time and he was holding a gun and he dropped it by accident so the Commanding Officer made him run laps with the gun held high above his head...LOOOOL, strict business...damn.

Today....
Was a really long, weird, tense kinda day ish...firstly, it was daylight savings so we had to turn our clocks forward an hour and therefore we lost sleep and I already had to get up early to make matters worse -_-...didn't get much sleep let's just say that. Got up at like 8 ish, got ready, left the house at like 8:40 for church. So lemme tell you this mini story...well I'll try to condense it as much as possible, so the english service which is the one I'm apart of, is held in the gym where there's basketball nets, etc. So we would always play ball after service which is before sunday school and we would play after sunday school as well. So a few weeks ago, we discovered the balls were gone...all of them, there was only 1 good one and 2 flat ones...but they were all gone, so names flew around, fingers were pointed, blame was shifted, in the end, we still didn't know who took it. There were lots of upset people, me being one of the biggest. But yeah, the next week (last week), the basketballs were of back...we were like huh...okay...someone def took it and put it back...whatever, it's back. Fast forward a week later, today...we discover the balls are missing AGAIN...this time I'm beyond cheesed, so are the other mans...we're like wtf...start voicing out our frustration and asking peolple who took it, etc...no one seemed to know and the people who sorta had an idea wouldn't really say anything to us, so we were cheesed. I've voiced out my concern to my youth pastor and he told me he'd try to find out who took it, he'd ask around and would here and there ask us if we'd have found the balls. So today, I had a conversation with him about basketball in church and stuff like that and nothing too heated, but I just explained to him why was so serious and upset about this and stuff like that. Long story, def too lazy to explain everything that was in the convo. So yeah...still after service we were loafting and my friend dipped, thought he went home but he actually ran home to get a basketball and came back lol cuz the balls were gone. So yeah...after sunday school, we were back to playing basketball with my friend's ball, the church balls still missing, my youth pastor comes into the gym and calls me into his office where another one of my friends is sitting. We have a LOOOOONG talk...turns out...both of them took the ball...started out as a "joke" apparently, but yeah...they took it. Had a long conversation back and forth, and we settled with they won't hide the balls, but no basketball after service, yes after sunday school. I still have a lot of things I wanna say and a lot of questions still unanswered but what can you do...they have "authority" and I'm supposed to submit...that's some real BS in my opinion...I didn't get a legit reason as to why we weren't allowed to play basketball. I have no problem with authority, but I'm not going to submit just for the sake of it...i'm not gonna get pushed around either, I kept asking for a reason or some sort of explanation but got one. Whatever...that's the deal...for now. I guess I feel kinda betrayed in a way cuz I really trusted my youth pastor and had my chips in his basket...this little stunt definitely takes that back a bit...like who does that? I had so much more to say...and I definitely kept my cool and stayed calm...but I had so many things left unsaid...we're cool and all, I trust him...but I'm definitely holding back next time...I dunno...that's just me...again the conversation we had in this office was a real long one...all 3 of us got a chance to give our sides of the story and to reply to one another...def too long for here...but yeah...we'll see what happens in the days to come...

Today....
What's up...woke up around 11 ish and had driving class at 11:30, it was pretty fun, did most of the driving by myself. Practise more turns, drove around a neighbourhood and the streets, quickly learned to reverse, not that great at it yet lol. Came home and just chilled, I told you I got Naruto the video game and I've beeeeen playing it. Beat the storyline so now I've just been playing online, it's so fun. Damn...hahahah. Can't wait for next week, lots of basketball ahead...I should really hit the gym soon too...haven't done so all year, gonna be such a waste of my shoetag if I don't...but yeah, I've just been a basketball FIEND as of late like I told y'all, I just have the biggest urge and desire to get better. So yeah...not much in my life really. Sent in my Concurrent Education application a few days ago, just waiting on my references to send in their letters or reply to some email they'll get then I'll have an interview late April ish and I'll hear late June ish if I'm accepted. Other than that, not too stressed, handing in my application was def relieving, so I don't have to think about it anymore. Like I told y'all, just trying to be a better friend and really reach out and stay connected and make an effort with some other friends who I feel distanced from.

Today....
Sup...so today was a pretty loaft day. Woke up, chilled, was supposed to have driving class from 3:30 to 5...but my instructor had a meeting apparently so he flopped, got one tomorrow at 12. What else did I do today, just loafted really...went to church early to practise songs for Sunday cuz I'm leading. Then had fellowship, it was def fun, went to dinner with them after, don't usually go too often, not sure why lol combination of reason, but I'm glad I did...def had lots of laughs and good talks. On another note, I'm on good terms and seeing eye to eye with a lot of people who I wasn't really before, so that's a plus and I'm definitely doing my best to make a better effort in reaching out to them and simply being a better friend I guess. It's March, school ends April ish for everyone...wow, that's crazy...2nd year of university gonna be done, should be able to drive by May...definitely by summer...can't wait.

Random Thoughts
My bad....no posts today, or yesterday I mean since it's 1...uh, woke up around 12 ish...gamed for a bit, went to STC last minute and just chilled, came home, gamed with a friend some more, went to church to play ball. I really think playing so much at school is definitely helping me improve...well just playing a lot in general...I definitely feel so much more confident, yeah buddy. Got driving class today at like 3:30...kinda excited, but kinda exhausted...well right now at least, I'll probably be more energized tomorrow. Also...just a random thing that came to me...if you come on this blog to "see how I'm doing" or "check up on me"...instead of asking me or striking up a conversation...you're a bad friend. Don't even give me the well you open up more on your blog...well if you made a better effort to talk to me, maybe I'd open up to you...nuff said.

Today....
No posts today...I know, my bad. Woke up around 12 ish, recently got Naruto the video game, so I was busy playing the story mode this morning. Stopped around 5 ish to shower and head out for the movies. Bussed there with friends, talked about weed lol and they were trying to convince me to try it lol. We watched Project X, def lots of nudity, movie was really funny though, the party was actually crazy and this one girl was really sexy. Afterwards, we hit up Mcds and chilled, saw some of my other friends there, just talked and stuff...picked up my Jordan 5 Wolf Greys from my friend who met up with the guy for me, they're so nice, can't wait to first wear them...gotta make sure I get all the cleaning stuff for them first though. Here they are...

Today....
Sup...sorry, I know I've been really slacking lately on the blog, I've just been really up and about lol, school, school application, life, etc. But yeah, today I was sick still, biggest crick in my neck....wasn't really feeling ball, was so loaft...played like 3-4 runs then dipped and had lunch. Came home and it was actually really cold outside, luckily my jacket is really warm. No more snow looks like, but the weather is isn't letting up...what else, got a new fighting game...Naruto...know nothing about it, but played it with a friend and it's soo fun lol so I got it too. What else....yeah saw my friend I haven't seen in a while since I changed outta Kinesiology, it was good catching up. Other than that, just headed home, I hate being sick...hopefully I'm getting better, but I don't think I'm helping it right now by eating chips...but I am drinking lots of water at least lol...

Today....
What's good, today was eh...woke up real sick, my throat got worse, hard to swallow, coughing real bad, it's not bronchitis again, not sure what it is but it's annoying. Went to STC today with my boy, chilled, came home, gamed a bit and took a nap then reached ball at church at 8. Only like 3 people from the english side came, so we asked some people from the chinese side if they wanted to play and had a a bunch of dope 3 v 3 runs...I'm really happy with how I played, playing at York everyday is definitely helping me improve, basketball never stops. I know y'all want more like "Real Talks of the Moment" or "From The Heart" posts...but I'm not really inspired, unless I have a lot to say, I'll rant about it here, but most of my "wisdom" and real talks go on twitter, I'm a twitter fiend actually...I tweet my whole day most of the time at least, so go ahead and follow me if you have twitter and I'll most likely follow back... @RTtheRealest
