Part 1
Part 2
Hey nice guy, how are you doing...well I hope. I've been pretty good, I've been practising patience and have been working and focusing on myself. I hope you have been well. I know sometimes it can get scary...you start to ask yourself questions...will you ever find the one? Do you really have tobe a jerk to get the girl? Do girls even really like nice guys? Is there something wrong with you? I feel you my brothers...I've asked myself all these questions on numerous occasions. I'm still an old school romantic...who still believes in chivalry, in being gentlemanly and such. I know it's hard fellas...but don't rush it, don't get into something for the sake of getting into it. Don't start a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship. Don't even sell yourself short...and don't even think you have to settle because you won't ever find anybody else. And on the other hand...if you are in a relationship and you genuinely don't love that person or don't see yourself marrying them...it's okay to end it, why continue being with someone if you can't see yourself being with them for the rest of your life? It's hard I know, but just cuz something doesn't work out...doesn't make it the end of the world. But back to my single friends...I'm in the same boat as you, trust me...but I've had plenty of helpful advice and encouragement from brothers who helped push me in the right direction. Patience is the key my brothers, let it happen naturally, when you're ready...and when she's the one...you'll just know. But at the same time...know when to seize the moment...know when to take action and take what's yours. Fellas...it's about picking your moments, I'm not telling you to be passive and let the girl approach you, I'm telling you to be patient and not chase every cute girl you see. I'm telling you to believe in yourself, to have confidence and to trust in the process...that your time will come. There's a beautiful girl out there for you...you just gotta wait, let it happen naturally and seize the opportunity when presented with one. Keep your head up nice guy, I'm with you.

I'm Your Teacher, Not Your Friend Part 2
Part 1
So I haven't been volunteering in 2 weeks cuz I was busy with school, but man...first day back and it was no short of excitement, work and some interesting times. Today was only further reassurance that I definitely want to be a teacher in the future. First things first would be the relationship I have with my teacher...how it's been over 10 years since I've been in elementary school, but I still go back to visit him, we're really good friends and we confide in each other. That's the kind of relationship I hope to develop with my future students...to teach them, but to also be there for them if they need to just talk you know. Which brings me to today...there was this kid who was upset the whole day, you could kinda tell cuz he speaking out more than usual and just a few things here and there. So my teacher and I pulled him aside and we talked to him and he was saying how he was just upset at his grades and how his parents put a lot of pressure on him and that he works really hard. He started tearing up...so we talked to him, comforted him and told him to walk it off...that's just crazy to me, it takes lots of courage to one...confide in your teacher, two...as a guy, to shed tears especially in front of your teacher. Second instance of the day was this girl...who was acting weird all day...she had her hoodie up and like tied it all the way up like Kenny from South Park...we kept asking her what's wrong and she's like nothing, I'm just having a bad hair day...she kept acting weird,so we eventually pulled her aside and talked to her...she was saying how she was unhappy with her appearance compared to the other girls and all that stuff...pretty much girl stuff, puberty, boys...but we sat her down and told her it was alright...that it's natural to go through these things and feel that way...but she's still young and growing...and everyone is beautiful in their own way, you just gotta embrace it and be confident and comfortable with yourself. The last instant was this boy...probs his favourite student in class...who was SUPER sad the whole day, you could tell...quiet, moody, distant. After school, we asked him what was up and he said...don't worry, it's something at home, it's not school related. We told him that yeah...we may be your teachers and there is a certain level of a professional relationship that we can't cross...but we care about you...inside and outside of school...we want to teach you both book smarts and street smarts. He told us that things aren't going well at home and he thinks his parents are going to split up...it sucks cuz he said that his parents are putting him in the middle and making him choose sides...we told him it wasn't his fault...that it's not fair for them to put him in the middle...but the biggest thing was that it's not his fault...it's between them. But it genuinely sucks to be that young and to have to experience that. Legit, it was such a mentally exhausting day, spent the whole day marking and talking to the kids. Honestly...now that I'm a teacher....I see things SO differently...as a student...you're so worried about yourself, your studies, your problems, your friends, girls...that it's hard to really notice EVERYTHING and EVERYONE around you. As a teacher now tho...you notice all these things...you notice when a student is more sad than usual, more loud than usual. You notice when a student is in gym class and isn't really enjoying themselves, you notice when a student is eating lunch by themselves visibly upset...all these things...as a teacher, I notice them...and I hurt for them as well. This experience so far has been so eye opening and so wonderful for me cuz it's opened such a door for me to grow as a person and learn about myself and the kids and the environment I may possibly be in one day. Yeah, I'm your teacher and I may not be your friend while you are in my class...but that doesn't mean I don't care about your life, what's going on in it...and it really meant so much to my teacher and I that those students had the courage to confide in us. I was talking to my teacher about how I never knew kids that young had to go through such things...cuz when I was that age, I was too busy focusing on my own stuff. He's like yeah...even when you were in my class...kids would approach me privately and share their problems...but as a student you don't see that kinda stuff. It makes me really wanna make a difference if I become a teacher...to go beyond the textbook, beyond the curriculum....to teach them about life...essentially to model myself after Mr, Feeny from Boy Meets World...my teacher and I collaborated today and he wants to give me an entire project to give to the class and teach it to them and have them present it and I'm super excited about it, I definitely can't wait. It's so cool to do teacher things like marking, remembering the kids names, making jokes with them...I'm so glad I did this.

Slow And Steady Wins The Race Part 2
Alright, so I know it's been a while lol...my apologies...I got my dates messed up, originally intended to post a week later, but lost track of my days and yeah...here we are, it's been pretty busy as of late...I got a job, it's exam time, just a lot of things going on right now and there's always moments where I just sit and reflect on life, where I am at the moment and things like that you know. The biggest thing I've been dwelling on as of late is no matter what you do...someone's gonna have an opinion. No matter what you do, there's gonna be someone who doesn't agree or doesn't like it or you. If you let that affect you, you're gonna be constantly struggling to please people and it's gonna annoy the hell out of you when one person says this or that about you or something. That's just where I've been at lately...whatever I say or do on this blog specifically...someone's gonna have an opinion or feel some type of way...they may agree or disagree...that's cool, but I'm definitely making a conscious effort not to let any negativity affect me...cuz in the end, it's just words and opinions...you're allowed to have that.
Sorry about that, just felt like I had to catch y'all up to speed with where I've been at lately. Any ways, couple days ago, I saw this post from this girl I went to high school with. It was a picture of her masters degree, we're both the same age. Meaning she graduated university, went to do her masters at a different school right away and recently graduated from that. I dunno, I've always said I wouldn't let it affect me seeing friends that were in the same year as me graduate before me because a lot happened to me (if you know, you know) that made me kinda take longer to graduate. But seeing that picture did hit me a little bit...and I talked to a couple of people about it. That's pretty cool for her...to graduate university and get your masters in the span of like 6 years or so...I dunno, I kinda looked at myself and how I'm still here in my 6th year doing my undergrad. Long story short, failed some courses in 2nd year, took 4rd year off, 4th year took courses to boost gpa, 5th year took courses in my major...this year I'm taking 2 more courses and will be done in December...so 5 years and a semester pretty much lol. Any ways...so I talked to a few friends about it and the biggest thing they told me...is that everyone does things at their own pace...we're all running a race, some people are faster, some people are slower, some people finish right away while others pace themselves. My friend told me once you get to university, that kinda stuff doesn't matter...everyone moves at their own pace, has their own lives and their own circumstances. Some people may take a couple courses every year because they wanna work full time as well and end up taking 6-8 years to finish a program. Other instances, you'll see full grown adults with families go back to do their undergrad. What he told me was it's okay to move at your own pace...everyone moves at different paces...but we all still have our own goals, our own pit stops and more importantly, our own finish lines. It was just a real good healthy reminder that it's okay to take your time, to move at your own pace...everyone works, moves and thinks differently...when you compare yourself is when you start to get down at what you've accomplished or have compared to other people. Honestly, do it for you, do it for yourself, for your family and for whatever else you hold dear. All I know is...I've come this far in my academic career...and no matter how long I take, how many hurdles I have to jump over and how many pit stops or breaks I have to take...I'm gonna finish the race, bet.

I Know You Hate Me
I honestly didn't plan on writing about this,but circumstances have kinda made/inspired me to want to talk about it. So I'm taking a break from studying and hitting you with an early post. I've always told you how this blog has gotten me into trouble many times with my friends and people alike...cuz of what I say, who I write about, or just the simple fact that I write about things here in general instead of so called "dealing with it in real life". I met up with a friend a couple of days ago and she told me not to be careful...but to be aware that people are gonna have an opinion about me based on my blog...that'll either be based on what they already know about me...or it'll be their only opinion about me cuz they don't know me. She knows I don't care what people think, she just wanted me give me a healthy reminder that people are gonna have their opinions about me. So right now...I read something that was kinda unflattering...who knows if it was about me...but it was about some dude with a blog and how it's pretty stupid and lame. Now I'm not talking to you as an individual...I'm talking about the topic as a whole. For all I know...some of y'all out there legitimately hate me...y'all legitimately think I'm a dick or a bad person based off of what I write, the stories I tell or whatever. It doesn't really affect me, but like...I'd like you to kinda get to the root of your question...why do you hate me? Do you not have opinions yourself? Have you not done stupid things in your life? Have you never made a joke or played a prank that you thought was funny but it wasn't? What I'm really trying to ask you...is what's different between you and I? Ignore the fact that I have a blog for a second...what's really different from you and I? Everyone has friends, they do stupid things, they do things they regret,they have memorable moments. What's the difference between you writing your life events down on a piece of paper and me writing them on a blog? What's the difference between you sharing a story with your friend and me posting it on my blog for my friends to see? I know you're gonna say well it's public...the whole world can see it, things like that, what if people don't want their stuff to be seen by the world. Homie I've done this ish long enough that my friends kinda understand where I'm coming from...my stories and such don't come from an evil or malicious place. It comes from my heart...and it's something I wanna share. Everything else is just my own experiences, things that happen to me. I know some of y'all think I do this for a popularity, to get noticed or to get attention...and if you want me to be completely honest, yeah a small part of me thinks it would be dope to blow up and become famous of some sort...but if you genuinely think that that's the only reason why I do this...you're surely mistaken. The only real funny thing I find is that the people that criticize me and have the most to say are the ones who only read one or two posts on my blog and think they know my entire life story. My family, my friends and the people that earnestly keep up to date with my blog are the people who really know who I am, where I'm coming from, what I mean and what I represent. It gets tiring always having to explain myself because people read a post about one thing and say this about. Which is why I remind myself to not care about what people think...it doesn't come from a cocky place, it's not me saying I'm better than you...it's me saying, you can have your opinion about me, good or bad, but that's okay...I'm still going to keep doing me and you can keep doing you and reading my blog on the side. Your simplest solution is to not read my blog posts...or remove me on all social media platforms so you don't even have to see my blog. I know that anything and everything I say will generate an opinion, judgement or whatever from someone...and that's okay cuz you're allowed to...but it's up to me whether I let that affect me or not. So you can think whatever you want about me...who I am...this blog...or why I write what I write and continue to do so. All I really know is that I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing...because it helps me in so many aspects of my life...and in a small way....it helps some other people as well. If you've made it up to this point....thanks, if you're someone who keeps up to date with my blog, thanks. If you're someone who only comes on this blog once in a while and claims to know everything about me...thanks as well...I appreciate you. I'm sorry for going on this rant....I always say I hate having to explain myself but end up doing so any ways.

Boys Are Idiots
I'm still super surprised at the overwhelming amount of views and feedback that this post has received. It's got over 600 views right now and a bunch of my friends keep asking me about it LOOOL. The only important facts you need to take away are...I was kidding, it seemed mean but trust me, she's just a chill and weird person that she laughed it off after and still to this day. No she didn't like me, she was just freaking out cuz I guess she thought it would ruin the friendship. Can't believe I had to explain myself twice lol, whatever. So the following are 3 separate stories, occasions, whatever...that will essentially make you agree with the title, in fact, it might make you a bit angry, it definitely made me very annoyed when I heard it, so in order of level of annoyance from eh...that's kinda annoying to HOLY DUDE YOU'RE SO ANNOYING...here we go.
1) All 3 events come from my time volunteering at the elementary school as of late. So this first one come from my teacher, the one that I'm volunteering with. So he has 3 kids, his oldest one is in JK (junior kindergarten), so he's like this was last year before we moved and before she moved schools. She had this one boy friend in SK (senior kindergarten) and they would play everyday, essentially best friends. As he found out she was moving, for some strange reason he started treating her differently. First he like starts playing super rough with her...he like pushes her to the ground, she's the kinda girl who wouldn't hit you back. Second, in a different instance, he like takes a toy car or truck and smacks her across the face with it...he didn't say how hard, but all my teacher said was there was a mark on her face. So my teacher's pissed, goes to the school and demands the boy be suspended or something, keep in mind he is in SK, the school doesn't do anything but be more careful and up their supervision. Third and final instance, he SPITS in her face...so my teacher has had it...he goes to the principal again (she goes to a different school than the one he teaches at btw) and is like okay that's not frickin cool...since you're not doing anything about it, I am. I'm teaching my daughter at home to punch...and I told her next time he even tries to talk to you hit him. Apparently he's like the parents wanted to bring the kid over to apologize and my teacher was like DEFINITELY NOT...if you do that, that's trespassing and I have the right to call the cops on you...get your kid away from mine.
2) So this story comes from the other grade 8 teacher at my school, the blonde lady. So she has 2 kids, this one revolves around her daughter who's in grade 4...also doesn't go the same school she teaches at. So apparently her daughter is really good at soccer and she plays at recess with older boys...like grade 5. So the story goes they're playing soccer, she keeps stealing the ball from him and I guess he doesn't like it...so he punches her in the face. There was no bruising or whatever from what I heard, she didn't cry, she kinda got up like...what the. So the teacher was like yeah I got the call when I was in class and she came out right away to my teacher's class and started going OFF about the situation. Apparently the boy got suspended 2 days and my teacher told the her I think you should go and demand him to be suspended more...you never hit a girl, which I fully agreed with. She too was like yeah...I just wanna go right away and see if she's alright before I take any course of action, but honestly...I'm gonna tell her, next time anything like that happens, kick him in the nuts...I died LOOOL.
3) This last instance isn't physical...yet it made me the most upset. So it's after school...I\m chilling with my teacher and the other grade 8 teacher in a classroom. School just ended, this one female student walks in with a piece of paper and they have small talk, they're talking about some situation, she has some piece of paper in her hands. She seems super sweet and she's pretty calm from what I see...she's like oh I got a petition and I think if I get enough of the girls to sign it, we can all play together outside during recess and they'll let us if they see that enough girls want to play. She walks away...I'm like uh so what was that about. So she's some grade 8 girl that wanted to play basketball with the grade 8 boys at recess and apparently this one boy came up to her and straight up said HELL NO, you can't play basketball with us, you\re a girl,go away...I didn't ask what else was said, but that's pretty much it. So apparently the principle and a few teachers went OFF on this kid...like why would you say that and such, that's not cool. What really impressed me...was this girl...how calm and nicely she approached this whole situation, I was blown away. As she left the room, the blonde teacher goes hey...thanks for sticking up for us girls. I won't lie, that was pretty powerful for me...that girl was a boss. After she left, we started talking about it...how some boys stuck up for her during recess...but only when there were other teachers watching them...and that they didn't do the same when no one was there. Which I know...swerves the story and the conversation in a whole other direction of what would you do in these kinds of situations you know, but I just wanted to put that out there.
So if you've made in this far...I'm pretty sure throughout reading all 3 stories, at some point in your mind you must've been like wow boys are idiots...if so, I don't blame you. I was pretty annoyed at how stupid and dumb boys can be. I've had my share of playing rough with girls...but I never pushed any boundaries, I always respected them and at the end of the day...only a coward hits a girl...dang this is so stupid. Boys of all ages...SK, grade 5, grade 8...even now...boys are stupid, I have my stupid moments too...but when it comes to girls specifically...smarten up boys...please.

She Asked For My Number
First of all, I guess I'll address some concerns about the previous post since it blew up quite unexpectedly LOL. Here are some facts for y'all...yes it is a true story, no I'm not one of the guys she liked/liked her, I didn't really like her...it was a joke. Some of y'all read too much into things LOL. Any ways...so there's no way I can come up with something that will top the previous post lol. For you basketball heads, recall the 2000 slam dunk contest when Jerry Stackhouse had to dunk right after Vince Carter had just shut the building down...that's what this is like. A general reference would be going out to a super fancy dinner, then the next day having leftovers or something lol. Btw...there is no part two to the previous post...she got over it like immediately because she's cool like that and we're still friends. Now onto today's post lol...so rewind all the way back to my first year of university...fresh grade out of high school, still learning the ropes of university, still a shy kid who doesn't really know about the world, the things or the people in it lol. So I took this class which was pretty big, it was in a theatre sizied/type room and the class also had a tutorial which is like 25-30 kids and you get to ask questions and stuff to your teaching assistants. So I've been to a couple of tutorials already, didn't really meet anybody in class, just a shy first year kid trying to get by. So one day before class, I'm sitting outside waiting on the benches, this girl sits beside me, I'm listening to music so I can't hear anything. Out of the corner of my eye, I see she's facing me and she says something, so I took my earphones out and she goes hey are you in my tutorial, I'm like I'm not sure which tutorial are you in and she's like #4 or something with this TA and I'm like oh yeah me too. She starts asking me all these questions like what's your background, where do you live, what are your hobbies and all that jazz....class is about start so we walk to class and she sees one of her friends and walks to her so I kinda go my own way, she turns to me and goes wait, do you wanna sit with me? Legit in the most calmesst tone ever, I'm like nah, it's cool...and I walk away without thinking anything of it LOOOL very anti-climactic I know. Couple days later, we have tutorial and I come like just in time she sees me and goes hey, come sit with me, so I was like sure. So we're working on some assignment in class and ish and class ends and she goes hey,can I get your number, I'm having trouble with the work and was wondering if you could help me. So I'm like sure, thinking she genuinely needs help for the work and we go our separate ways. So she texts me and we meet up at school and I'm like oh so do you need help with the work and she's like oh no I actually finished it already...so I'm still not understanding the hints she's dropping, I'm just like oh okay cool, in my head I just wanted to go home...she's like you wanna come with me to get food, so we do and we chat and such. I remember leaving that day thinking okay, that was kinda waste of time lol. It wasn't until I started thinking about it more and more that I started to piece together everything and was like OH...SHOOT...btw, I didn't mention it, but she was reeeeeal cute, but I didn't really take that into consideration...I genuinely just wanted to help her with whatever she was asking for LOL...long story short, nothing materialized, we chilled here and there and I saw her in tutorials...but I didn't talk to her too much cuz I didn't know lol. I remember looking back at this story in my 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year, now...like Rodmond, you're so dumb...she was a cutie, sweet...and you're just an idiot LOOOOL, I remember she kinda stopped talking to me...I'm guessing she thought I wasn't interested and didn't wanna pursue it LOL but...good news is...I'm still friends with her to this and I see her sometimes and we still talk lol, she had a boyfriend tho :(

I Finally Told Her I Liked Her
So there are some posts that I struggle to write or get through which is why I end up putting them off for a while sometimes. Then there are the posts which I genuinely enjoy writing about, thatmake me happy, this one would definitely fall in that category lol. So I have this friend...I would say we're pretty close, I'd even say I'm probably one of her closest guy friends. This girl may be one of the funniest people I've ever met LOL. So I'm not too sure how we became as close as we did, but I do know it didn't start that way...she legit had resting b* face, so I thought she hated me. Not too sure what happened, but we somehow ended up talking and I was like wow this girl isn't mean, in fact she's hella weird lol. So one thing I remember is that she opened up to me pretty quickly and we clicked pretty naturally and instantly became pretty good friends, confiding in each other about our problems and such. One thing I remember she said before we really became good friends was "make sure you don't fall for me" LOOOOOL. I was like what...where'd that come from, she's like I dunno, it just tends to happen to me for some reason and things get awkward, so I said okay, don't worry it won't happen. Fast foward like a year or so later, she telling me about this guy she liked and this other guy that liked her. Here I am listening to her go off about this dude she absolutely adores and another dude that absolutely adores her. Super long story short, she ends up with the dude that likes her and not the one that she likes. So I don't know if I would use the word suspicious, but the dude she was with kinda thought she liked me or I liked her because we were such good friends y'know. I remember she's like when she told the dude that she liked another boy, he thought it was me LOL. Any ways, back to the story...so I'm texting her one night and I legit had this feeling inside of me...so I was like yo I need to tell you something...and then and there I confessed my feelings to her, that I thought she was a real cool girl, that we got along so well and I saw myself with someone like her. She was like are you joking, I told you not to fall for me, I knew this would happen. We go back and forth for quite some time and she's like flipping out like dang, I dunno what to do now. I was like I know you have a boyfriend, but it's something I couldn't really hold din any longer, we go back and forth for a bit and she continues to freak out and figure out what we can do. About an hour later, I was like yo, I need to tell you something again....I'M KIDDING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL...she legit called me on the spot and was like BRO ARE YOU SERIOUS...yo you don't understand, I was dying on the phone, it was so hilarious. She's like yoooo it's not funny, I called my boyfriend and told him and he was like I knew it and he's on the way over so we can talk about it. I'm on the phone legit dying...I found that the funniest thing of life, I was like oh...uh...my bad, have fun LOOOOL. And I remember seeing her in person and making fun of her so bad because it was such a funny story.
