2009 Year End Wrap-Up

ive erased and rewritten this blog, bout 4 times...
what i want to say about this year is that it was a blur, ive done soo many things, i really cant keep track.
id want to say my turning point of this year has to be moving out. with percise percision...the events that lead up to where i am now couldnt have been more perfect. the people in an out of my life could have only played out like acts in a play, people appear and play their part and exit...stage left.
but theres the stars...the ones that stay throughout the show, the main players. this year it couldnt have been any better, with my cousins. the theme of this year reconnecting. my cousin mylee brought up the point, that me an tinny never really hung out as we were growing up. and even with lino, we didnt reconnect till after college. but now they both in my life and i wouldnt have it any other way. along with with reconnecting with tin, she introduced/reintroduced me to someone from my past. that person is changin my life one day at a time. even though she doesnt think so she does. id have to say because of bringing this special person back into my life, tin has takin the award for person who has made the most impact on my life this year.
so this wrap up wasnt really a wrap up....more like a thank you
Bring it 2010!

its written in the stars....

not too long ago i had a converstation with BBF #1, the subject of what we were talkin isnt really important in this statement, but the idea of destiny popped up. im prolly butchering the hell outta this, but she says the italians believe in "destino" or something like that...basically, everything is written for you. i usually like to think that i like to control my own life. but that good ol' saying "everything happens for a reason" comes into play.
so destiny, as many people, including myself, believe that we run and have our own destiny in our hands...but whats not to say..."because i did this and that and this earlier in my life, i came to this conclusion"
im starting more and more to believe in this destiny thing, just let life play out and sort the cards out later. i look into my past and often think, how would my life been if this incident didnt happen or if i never met this person. but if u think about it, it wouldnt have brought you to the point that i am at now. or who knows i may have taken longer to get to where im at now. in general, im content with the people i know now and with what has happened to me. every bad experience i take as a lesson, every good experience i take as a blessing. everyone, good or bad, has played a unique role into molding me into the person i am right now, at this very moment. how i think, how i act, how i love, how i care...
heres some real life examples...
if me n sheena never kept gettin ditched and all of a sudden we get stuck with each other for one night, i dont think we would have ever been the best of friends. or if i never started ROE...i would have never met my other best friend Abi. or if i never started ROE, would i be as successful as i am now...
destiny, as simple as it is, can hold the keys to someones life. we may not know what will happen next, but trust, life wants you to thrive...

Simplicity is Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Lately ive been thinking bout things that i think myself is beautiful, all because of its pure simplicity.
Take for example....the 6-4-3 double play. When executed with percison looks just like a flip of the wrist. Ive played baseball, when practiced over and over again, it become second nature. Its soo simple and yet beautiful as the ball rounds the bases and the play dies in the first baseman's glove. Such a simple act can swing the inning towards the defensive team it can also be a game winning out...beautiful.

My good friend Abi gave me this idea that i'll elaborate on. Seeing an older couple holding hands. I know you must be thinking, who give a shit, Yet i remind you its the simplicity of if that we see the beauty. Under the intial sign, there are layers to why its soo beautiful, think about it. These two older people have stood the test of time, in a society where divorce and infidelity is as common as the common cold. For two people to be together for so long and to still love each other after all those years...beautiful. (and i hope i have that when im that age)

Theres plenty of other little things that i find spectacularly beautiful. Waking up mid-morning to the smell of bacon cooking. Its a beautiful thing. Or when my pants just fall perfectly over my shoes to show enuff shoe, but ruffle just a lil bit. Simply beautiful, a fresh untouched box of Jordans, still has the glue smell. I'd expect that the most simpliest joy would be holding your child in your arms for the first time. Simple beauty of rain droppin on already formed puddles. Or when Im DJing and i blend the shit outta two songs and the second song drops right on time! FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL.

Simple Beauty. What takes the cake for me is a woman who can rock it without any make up but look as beautiful as if she were dressed up for a night out. Glasses, tshirt n sweats or jeans, playing video games, drinkin a beer. i'll take her over any Megan Fox any day! Simply Beautiful!
