Class, Grade, Lifetime
Hello friends, it's been a while...my apologies. A while ago I was watching Radio Free Roscoe, which is a dope show...about 4 kids in high school who create a radio station and are anonymous, so they're free to speak their minds. Any ways...in one episode...one dude talked about how there are 3 types of friends...a class, a grade and a lifetime. Sometimes you're friends with someone for only a class...no more than a 'hey man' in the hallways...but that's all it's supposed to be. Then there are the friendships that seem like they're gonna last forever...you're best friends, super close, but then...just like that you move on. Then there are the friendships that do last forever...they have no expiration date, they just keep going and going. He then goes on to say..."when you know where you stand with a friend, you know how to act". When I first watched this episode...I was like wow...TRUTH am I right? How many of those friends or 'acquaintances do we know where we're only friends with them cuz we've been in like on class with them...they're a friend of a friend...you'd never ask them to hang out at the mall or invite them to your birthday...but if you saw them it'd be like hey what's up, how've you been, it's been a while. What about the friends for a grade...people you spent a considerable amount of time with...an entire year...since it is a grade...you guys are real good friends, you laugh, you joke, you talk...but after you move on to the next grade...you stop being friends...there's nothing there for you guys. How many of these friends do you know...a log came to my mind...certain things bring us together...sports, evens or occasions...and we get real close because we spend so much time together during certain times or events like if you go to a summer camp or join a club or something for a period of time...you meet lots of friends, become good buddies with people...but after that event or time...that's it...you had your moments but it never carried on. Then of course there are the friends that last a lifetime...your homies...your day 1's....your ride or dies. The people who've seen and been through it all. The people you either spend the majority of your time with...OR the people you may not necessarily see often...but when you do, it's as if nothing has changed. Those are your lifetime friends...when even tho you don't see each other often...when you do...it's all love and you guys never miss a beat. I reiterate the quote that the dude said again..."when you know where yous tand with a friend, you know how to act". When you know who are the people in your life and what they represent to you...every thing becomes so much simpler. It isn't about how big or small your circle is...but how tight that circle is.

Who Cares Baby, I Think I Wanna Marry You
While still on the topic of Dear No One...and finding someone to spend the rest of your life with. I recall a conversation with a friend a couple of weeks ago (see, majority my posts are about my friends) and we just talked about life and relationships and such. We talked about how a lot of our friends are getting married or at the stage or their life where they're thinking about getting married. We talked about how some friends are really eager to get married but may not be ready...how there are A LOT of couples who wanna get married and perhaps jump the gun, some ready and some not. Some couples get married as early as like 21-23...fresh out of college/university...dang, that's a BIG step...by all means some people can handle it...come out of school and they have a full time job and can afford it...while others I feel are more into the IDEA of getting married...but have no idea what it comes with...it's not just oh, picking dresses, writing invitations and stuff...it's so much more than that. But yeah...how this relates to myself...well one thing about myself is I've never been in a serious relationship...longest was maybe a couple months...and I've never had a lot of firsts...which I'm not gonna get into cuz it's not really important. I told my friend...that I've dreamed about...and I think about it a lot...and I can fully see myself marrying the first girl I seriously date...and that's coming straight from the heart...like it's something I truly believe. That doesn't mean I'm gonna jump the gun and the next girl I date...it's like BAM YOU'RE THE ONE. But it's being selective I guess...cuz for me...and my faith...what's the point of dating...the point of dating is marriage. So as fun as it is to flirt or have crushes...you have to really think about what the purpose of it is. Your current boyfriend/girlfriend...can you see yourself marrying them? If not...then why are you with them? For fun? I dunno...I guess now that I'm 22...and almost done school...I've been thinking A LOT about the future (everyone around me can attest to this) and if I'm gonna date a girl...I have to and I want to think about the future...and for me I've always or at least I consider myself a corny guy when it comes to relationship...I believe in a lot of old school things...like sex after marriage. But yeah...I can definitely see myself marrying the first serious girl I date...cuz what's the point...like what's the point of dating for like 10 years or so...no offence to those who have cuz there many be numerous reasons why you haven't gotten engaged/married...but yeah...for me...it wouldn't take me 10 years to pop the question cuz it wouldn't take 10 years for me to know I love someone. But enough of that lol...all in due time...God will provide...dear no one...this is your love letter.

Of Course It's About You
You know how sometimes I talk about friends getting mad at me for talking about them on my blog and such...this is probably the opposite of that. A friend and I were talking a couple days ago and he's like hey...I read this post...was it about me? I'm like nah lol...but don't worry, I write about you. Truth is...I write about all my friends...that's all I do...I write about my life...and that's what my life is about...so of course that's all I'm gonna write about...my life, my fam, my friends. It's funny cuz friend's will come up to me and like try to guess what or who I wrote about in certain posts lol. That's more source of inspiration tho...y'all give me little sparks here and there by what you say to me, the conversations we have or simply what we've been through. So thank you for that...all my friends.

Dear Nice Guy
I'm reminded by a conversation I had a real good homie a while back...specifically how I think he's a super nice,down to earth and chill dude and vice versa. We were just sharing with each other our hearts...specifically relationships and just our thoughts about it and experiences...and I shared with him how I had no doubt...NO DOUBT...that we will find good girlfriends...because we're good guys, genuine nice guys and we deserve it, straight up. Fast forward to the present like a week ago I was driving my friend home and she and I were talking about my other friend who's been thinking about relationships a lot lately cuz he's getting at that age and I guess he knows a lot of people who are married or engaged at a really early age and you could say he's feeling the pressure...I told her how I have NO DOUBT he will find a girlfriend, a wife...he's just gotta have patience and trust in God, I know it's hard. But any ways...back to this...this is a letter of encouragement to you...nice guy. You may or may not be struggling or having trouble with girls...with relationships...wondering if she's the one...or wondering if you'll ever find the one. Keep persevering...most importantly...NEVER change for anyone...to get a girl to like you...to get anyone to like you. To all my nice guys...I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that every girl secretly wants a guy who will treat them like they're the only girl in the world. Keep persevering nice guy...your time will come. It's hard I know...seeing girls you like end up with guys that aren't you...or seeing girls in general be with dudes who don't treat them right...and you ask yourself if there's something wrong with you...NO...keep your head up nice guy...I believe in you...I believe in the nice guy...in being a nice guy...in old school, cheesy, romantic love. If that's you...stay the course nice guy...your time is coming...be patient, have a little faith...I PROMISE there is a perfect, special girl waiting for you...waiting for a nice guy to sweep her off her faith...a girl who's tired of dating idiots...stay the course nice guy...I believe in you.

York'd
Man...what a day...more like what a night lol. For those who don't know...as in those you who either reading this outside of Canada or those who simply don't follow the news or aren't well informed...my school York University is going on strike at midnight...for how long who knows, but classes will be cancelled. It sucks cuz I'm trying to graduate this year...finish classes in April. take one course in summer school and then graduate in October. With this strike who knows what's going to happen...who knows how long it'll be...what's going to happen to the courses in progress...are they going to be extended or whatever...what about tuition that's already been paid and stuff. It's just really annoying...to add onto that now I'm going to have an ENORMOUS amount of free time...I literally have nothing to do cuz I'm not working atm either...like damn...if this were any other year other than the year I'm trying to graduate...I would welcome the strike with open arms...dang this is just a big wrench in A LOT of people's plans. But hey...I''m trying to stay calm...well I am calm...for the most part...it's just a real big hassle and a mess...God...I'm trusting you...and your plan for me...for all of this...I know I'll graduate...in due time, whenever...it's just dang...this whole thing is so messy...and unnecessary. God...with so much time on my hands...give me a sign...show me something...what am I supposed to do about all this...I have faith tho.
