So this is dedicated to my time down in National City this past weekend. I went down there to visit a friend, and to keep me entertained he decided to have me partake in the festivities of the town. National City is down by San Diego, and N-city was your classic hole-in-the wall. We were definitely at the younger end of the age spectrum of the crowd that was in attendance.
The good thing about hole-in-the walls are the drinks and the DJ, not to mention the things that can be seen. First of all, if you are wearing Coogi from head to toe, then you shouldn't be using an elastic band to keep your glasses on since you broke part of the frame and it's missing. Also, I believe that everything is not meant for everybody, as far as clothing goes. Spandex may have been created by the devil and there were some individuals who apparently sold their souls to him for that fabric. If my phone wasn't dead my facebook status updates would have been on fire. I guess I wasn't meant to chronicle the night while it was happening.
I had a drink called 911. Initially I was scared because of the name, but I've never met a drink that I couldn't handle. Still don't know what was in this drink but it didn't have a strong liquor taste but definitely provided me with my happy juice that I needed. 911's made me have an appreciation for dancing in the 7-11 parking lot to loud music from cars. After 2 of those drinks I wanted to pretend to be 21 to see what kind of fun or trouble I may get into.
I use to have a few good hole in the walls near me that I would frequent. I haven't done so in awhile and think I might need to bring that part of my life back. Every time that I have been I have enjoyed myself due to the laid-back atmosphere, good drinks, and of course the patrons. During my travels in the next couple of months I shall be on a quest to find the hole-in-the wall spot that each city has to offer. Time for me to focus and do some reading until next week Monday.

I got a zest for life
I'm convinced that if I continue to go at the pace that I'm going that when I die I would have lived enough for two lifetimes. My mother told me I need to slow down but all I can think about is "giving it gas, and no brakes". I probably am trying to overcompensate for something that is lacking in my life. If I felt like paying someone or actually talking about it maybe I could find out what it is. But truth be told, I rather not.
I figure if I can continue to do the things that bring me happiness then that's all that matters, right??? It's worked for me thus far so I think I'll still keep on doing what I'm doing. Me doing what I'm doing sometimes means that I'll be doing it by myself, but when I think back on the peaks of my life a lot of those things were done by myself, so I feel right at home being solo dolo.
Besides, what it considered to be doing too much? Sometimes a person may feel as though they aren't doing enough. It's all so subjective. In 2 Ways by Lupe Fiasco he summed it up for me:
All you see is all my flights
Well all I see is all my falls
All you see is all my rights
All I see is all my wrongs
I think I have officially gone off on a tangent that only I will understand...I apologize. It's just a part of all the random thoughts that continuously fill my mind. Since I've decided to actually focus on class while in class tonight, I guess I'll have to end now. See you next Monday.

The law of attraction
Some time ago I went to this business workshop where one of the speakers spoke about a vision board. I had heard of this before but had never created one of my own. Some people say that if you you write things down or put your actual visions down then you will be more likely to attain your goals. Eventually, I went on to create my vision board and still have it up now because I'm still currently working on these goals. A friend heard about my vision board and proceeded to ask me if I had seen the Secret or read the book that the movie was based on. The basic premise of the Secret is that the world is based on the law of attraction. Depending upon the energy you put out you can attract either positive or negative things to your life.
When I was a senior in high school I wrote how I expected my life to be 10 years later in my senior memory book. I said I was going to either be an orthopedic surgeon or sports agent, live in a house, and have 2-3 kids by then. Apparently, some of those things occurred, but the rest are yet to come. If you can continuously think of something and keep it on the forefront of your mind, then I feel you might be more likely to continue working at it. There are those people who always say bad things happen to them and they have bad luck; I don't believe they have bad luck I just believe that by them having those thoughts they attract bad things towards themselves. If you can change your outlook, you can potentially change your world. I'm currently trying to practice that, so I'll let you guys now how that goes.
1. I hate when people judge a book by it's cover. Sometimes you should try to read a few pages of the book so that you can actually know what it is about. Some people think they have you all figured out when actually their thoughts aren't even close when it comes to the person you are.
2. As opposed to complaining and saying what others aren't doing and things suck, how about you do something to make a change. I never complain about things that I myself am not willing to work towards changing. Everyone has a lot to say but they aren't willing to put their money where their mouth is or actually do something to create a better situation. That irks me so much.
3. I finally gave in and watched the youtube dance videos by some chick named Ices. Apparently she is very popular and had 2.6 million views of her videos. She inspired me to buy my flip video camera...be on the look out for "Olu, up close and personal".
4. Is upset that J. Cole is performing on Rihannas tour. I refuse to buy a ticket and be subject to her performance. I saw it live once and I said never again. I guess Jermaine and I will have to wait until another time to meet up close and personal.
5. I think I'll start saving my rants and release them once a month just so I can release them from my system...That is all for now, I have television to watch and plans to make.
