Long Lost Close Friend

So tonight, I talked to one of my closest friends from back in the days, Michelle . I don't know if she still considers me close but I still consider her one of my good friends . For the past year or so, we havn't really been able to talk to each other a lot as much as we did back then . I guess we both just got busy with our own things (well knowin' SHE's always busy doin' school/cheer stuff haha) .

We had a pretty decent conversation tonight . Just catchin' up and shit . Wow, after talkin', felt like nothin' really changed . Well, I don't really think anything has changed but the fact we talk less . I swear everytime I see this girl when I go to Cali, we act like nothin' has changed . But yeah, talkin' to her brought back some memories . . some of the best memories of my teen years .

I remember meetin' Michelle either during snack or lunch back at my old high school (CV/Crescenta Valley) . I was actually trying to get at her friend Samantha (she turned out to be really cool too) who happened to be new student at school hahaha but instead of talkin' to Samantha a lot, I ended up talkin' to Michelle a lot more . When I got to know her, damn she turned out to be one of the coolest people I've ever met . Michelle, to this day, is the ONLY girl I know who's never done me wrong in any way, shape or form, and was always there when I needed her; that's prolly why we got close .

I remember we'd eat lunch together and walk to the gas station together with our own little clique (me, her, Axton, Samantha, Christina, whoever else was there lol), go to the movies on weekends, play basketball after school (wow, bball brought us closer too lol), swimmin' at Samantha's during summer of 2006, and yeah helpin' each other out with problems and shit .

For a VERY long time, I considered Michelle my closest homegirl because she was the NICEST (to this day lol) girl I've ever met . The nicest thing she's probably done to me was make me a present before I moved to Las Vegas . She made me a scrapbook of our memories/friendship . That thing really meant/mean A LOT to me to this day . The thing is, she kept makin' time for me just so she can say her goodbyes and made sure I got her present before I left . And even after I moved, we still talked a lot; it's just these past years have been different .

Yeah, time changes and sometimes it doesn't let you stay close with certain people in your life . But then there's people, no matter what, your connection with them somehow doesn't change . I mean, you guys might not be as close . . but at the same time, nothin' is awkward between y'all .


HATE to crop this picture cuz this picture is such a CLASSIC back-in-the-day picture with 3 of my tightest 9th grade homies; to this day, I STILL don't know what I was doin' in this picture lmao look at me with my bald head hah what was I thinkin' lol and I don't know why I closed my eyes either lol

They Say If You Love It, You Should Let It Out Its Cage . . And Fuck It, If It Comes Back, You Know It's There To Stay . .

I don't think it's meant to be,

But she loves her work more than she does me .

And honestly, at [18], I would probably love my work more than I did she .

So we, ain't we .

It's me, and her .

'Cause what she prefers over me, is work .

And that's, where we, differ .

So I have to give her,

free time,

even if it hurts .

So breathe, mami, it's deserved .

You've been put on this earth to be,

All you can be . .

And me ?

My timing in this army, it's served .

So I have to allow she; her time to serve .

The time's now for her

[And] the time she'll mature,

And maybe we can be we again like we were .

Finally, my time's too short to share .

And to ask her now, it ain't fair .
So yeah . . .

You're the best I ever had . . but they say sometimes, the best things in life needa go . . and maybe one day, it'll come back . . .

Muzik Talk 1 : Kedrick Lamar/K. Dot

I decided I'ma write a column about artists (singers, rappers, bands, etc.) I'm feelin' at the moment . I'll write about why I like 'em and what makes 'em good artists overall . My first Muzik Talk column will be about Kendrick Lamar aka K. Dot .

I been followin' this dude's music for almost a year now . It's a little weird to call him by Kendrick Lamar because when I first found out about his music, he went by the name K. Dot . He's probably one of the hottest underground rappers right now . He has this unique voice/flow that I've never heard from other rappers . The first song I ever heard from him was the song "I Need That" (STILL one of my favorites of all time) . It's one of those songs I can never get tired of . The beat, the flow, the LYRICS, the story-telling . . WOW .

Story-telling is probably his strongest skill in my opinion other than his punchlines/lyrics . . In his new song called "Beyonce", he raps about being an obsessed/in loved fan of Beyonce . And WOW, the way he describes his "feelings" for Beyonce in that song is just crazy/funny . Y'all just gotta listen to it .

But yeah, I actually like most of his new shit better because back then, he was more of a 'gangsta rapper .' His new music has more 'Hip-Hop' feel to it but at the same time it still has some 'gangsta' flavor to it .

Oh by the way : he's from L.A. [Compton to be exact] ;D You already know . . the fool gets plus points just for being a West Coast/SoCal ridah . Ha .

Why Is It A Bad Thing ? O.o

People always critisize people who smoke weed . Back then, before I tried weed, I thought to myself too, that it's a bad thing to do [fuckin' D.A.R.E. programs hahah] .

But the more I did it [well actually, the FIRST time I did it hahah], my opinions changed QUICKLY . Like to be honest, the ONLY thing I see wrong with smoking weed is it makes you fuckin' lazy [hah -___-], other than that, I see NOTHIN' wrong .

People say it's addicting . . well it IS lmao but it's not addicting to the point it makes you go crazy like other drugs [well prolly for some people lol] .

But my point is . . I HATE when people critsize smokers . Like ok, I understand when some people do it, it looks bad . . but then again, what are they doin' bad ? O.o Smoking cigarettes [to me at least], is 1000% worse than smokin' weed .

Now I don't really consider myself as a stoner since I don't buy weed [only once lol], but the times I've smoked with people ? Shieeet, it was always chill . Ha .

"I remember being little; weed, didn't really know what it was . Then I took a puff and I realized . ."
