The Little Things

There she was, walking down the street, looking classy and sassy with her classic fedora hat look..i stood and stared with great admiration and appreciation..what do say or do with you are face to face with the person(s) you greatly admire, do you get overly excited and act a fool? We sometimes are engaged in the presence of greatness either intentionally, sporadically, or unexpectedly. What do we take from the encounters of life and people, do you stare in awe and wish that it were you? Its hard not to get caught up in the moment of anything and anywhere but its what you take from and how to incorporate it into your life and on journey. I try to immerse in the great moments of life and take in all the little things that led me to these pinnacle points, for its the roads that we forget about. When things get shaky, don't be in such a hurry to resolve the dilemma without precautions..you need repair the little cracks of the foundation so the same problem doesnt reoccur. Its the little things that we easily seems to miss cause we are in such a hurry to do this and that, to go here and there, and we lose sight of whats clear.

Its the little things that i've come to appreciate even more than all the shines and shimers. Its the sunday morning/afternoon drives along the coast, its the sunny days with a gentle cool breeze, its assessibility of downloading all and any my favorite music albums, its the giggling and laughing from my little cousins in the early morning trying to wake me up to play with them, its the food that my grandma leaves out for me when i home late, its the thursday night at starbucks with great company and conversation, its the waking up early everyday just for the hell of it. All these things and so much more are all but little significance to me and my journey.

So a word not from the wise but from the an empirical person, wake on a monday morning and take a minute to consider how you want the day or week to go, not how you think its going go. Give yourself a minute to comprehend that you're living the week, and the we(a)k doesn't run you. No matter how stressed you might think that week will be, know that you're the one in control and not the objectives at hand..when you are feeling overwhelmed or ahead yourself, literally take a step back and break down the little things that are cause the problem and fix it. Don't ignore it because its still going to be there the next day until it gets resolved. Daily growing takes watering, nurturing, and sometimes just flat out subtlety.

6:42

Do you ever wake up suddenly from your sleep and have the feeling that you are late to get up for something? And as you sit up and let your body direct you into your daily routine, you glance over at the clock and it reads 6:42..what the fuck? Yeaa..that happens very often for me, almost everday..this is very weird habit that i have developed. I don't know if it from all the times that i have set my alarm at that time(hoping to get up after the 2nd snooze) but now its pretty much permanent in the clock in my head. No matter how early or late i sleep the night before, I will most likely be possess to emerge from my sleep at 6:42 or 6:43.. and if im lucky i'll be able to fall back sleep for another hour; if not, then ill be lying there thinking about what it would be like sleeping right now..hahah shit dude, whats wrong with me? I guess some would say its a good habit, i guess i've become one of those people to say so. But it sucks sometimes when i'm partying the night before and get fucked up..ill still wake up around that time and feeling like shit, due the lack of time to sleep off the intoxications in my body. We'll in general its not so bad to start the day off early, its better to be an early bird and seize the day, then to be a vampire and be white and suck, har har..

I'm beginning to savor the little things and the limited time that i'm available to now a day, it's not so bad to get up early to recapture a couple of hours that are eaten up from the "studying" that i do hahah yeaa..

And a couple of weeks have gone by without any major complications and distractions, so i'm proud to say that i'm still strolling down the initial road that i've set myself on. There will be times that you might feel that things are too good and so stready that you might want to stir it up with something venturesome, just make sure that you are aware of the full effects of the matter and that it won't veer you off course or set you back. Remember that time doesn't stand still for you, it will move on with or without you.

Old Habits Die Hard

Here we go again, reacting without a plan, or had the plan gone way sour? Or it could be that the specifics of the design were not made for the purpose. Sometimes we try too hard, we aimlessly drift far away from the mark and soon it will be too difficult to veer back on course; was it the road that we chose or the lack of preparation. Or it could just be the nasty habits that you thought you've kicked, are still dragging at your feet? So when this effort of change is initiated will all the excess mess be left in the dust? I find it still very difficult to get rid of some of the urges and temptations that lead you down the wrong path in the first place and in a slight instant, that common scent of sweetness, so familiar but so gut wrenching, which leads to a bitter after taste. All that you try to control and had control of could be fucked up in an insignificant minute. I'm assuming that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and once you learn to bite the bullet , there won't be anymore tunnels.

But to lighten the mood I am excited to say that I will be catching Jenny Lewis at the Spaceland in Los Angeles, if not tomorrow for sure at the Echo. I'm sure that she will be playing tracks from her new album "Acid Tongue" So if you a Jenny fan, come to spaceland, tickets are selling at the door for $15..but im sure that you need to be at least an hour early.

It's a nice day to take a downtown and be capsulated by the cities lights. I think we have one more spot if someone wants to roll by 530pm today...so for now im over and outta this bitch.
