There's no way I can pay you back, but the plan is to show you that i understand"...ddzzaammnn....that's just straight poetry right there, mayng. So it's Big Nate here(who else would it be?). I should be doing homework/reading for Buisiness Law right now, but, eh...too lazy
So about the last few blogs i put up. I just thought it was interesting that there is such a thing as synthenasia(or however it's spelled). I knew that it wasn't just me that "felt" colors when listening to music. Oh well...in regards to music, I'm gonna to (or try to at least) major in music at El Camino. we'll see how that all works out but in the end "i'm tryin' to be somebody", you know? I have the feeling that business and music combined will get me to where i wanna be.
In regards to "bein' somebody"...man....it's a long story but i'll just be bold and put out my goals and how i want my life to turn out in this post....
so it goes like this. "I consider myself a pretty cool guy..." who, generally is in good spirits with others unless of course me and my boys are snappin' off at each other about our steeze's and haircuts, etc. But in the end, it's all in good fun anyway. So in 8th my family and i went on a family vacation to the philippines. And it was there that i realized how truly effed up the world can be. like...for those who haven't been to third world countries....*sigh*....man muhfuckas be sleepin on the ground and shiet, man. like whole families, just starving man. It wasn't a good look, basically. And on the real, it like hurt me, to know that my people, basically were just suffering, just struggling...
So, take my experiences there and fast forward them here in sunny southern california upon my high school graduation date about June 2005. 300 hundred of us graduate and i would go and guess that about half or less of us go on to higher education half of which go straight to universities. Mind you that we started off as 1, 000 freshman. Where did the 70% go you ask? Shiet, hell if i know, some dudes transfer out, others drop out, have kids, become drug addicts...shiet...i don't know stuff like that. (all this in a year where a two of my neighbors are killed, football teammate is killed too, and another shot) but anyway, the point is, that about 10-15% we to college while God knows what happened to everybody else.
So combining these two events in my life, like seriously no jokes, i made it a point to excel to the best of my abilites at everything i do(even more so than before) with the intentions of helping people out. I mean, once we get past drinkin' and getting high, clothes, and girls, all that other stuff, once we get past that....man....this world can just be messed up sometimes, you know?. Like, i'm not no good boy or nothin', but on some real shizz somebody needs to step up. That's pretty much why i majored in business. My goal was/is to be some kinda wealthy entrepeneur or business owner. Like i wanna have A LOT of money. haha..i know, i know..don't we all? but it's different, man. I don't wanna do this for all of it's superficial purposes but because i know if i had money like THAT, that i'd seriously do a lot of good with it. I know i'm sounding like spiderman(which i haven't seen yet) but that's real talk. like shiet...we live in sunny southern california, let alone America. We're gifted and priveledged people. We have advantages that most of the world doesn't have. and i believe that God gave us talents, wealth, and gifts(athletic ability, education, musical talent, etc) to do something with it. You know what i'm saying? we really are blessed...no matter how bad you THINK you got it right now, percentages are, that you don't got it that bad, you know.
Linking this to making music...i don't know. i'm trying to get in production. emphasis on "trying". you all know i've been doin' this since forever. But now it's like i wanna be more serious. not just for me but for the people around me cause a lot of people need it and sometimes it feels like it's on me to do it. like i'm not super talented or anything but at least i'm trying...hopefully. we'll see what's up....
I'd like to reiterate that i didn't just come up with this stuff like today and felt like saying it. no no no, i've been thinking stuff like this. matter of fact, if you look at one of my old blogs i think i had already touched on this subject. but anyway, this is just like a rough draft of some of my thoughts right now that i don't know...just felt like letting people know. so, for all you talented/smart/priveledged folks, please, and this is real talk, at least think about doin' some kinda greater good(as small as it may be).
but yea...there's plenty more and a lot more layers to these thoughts...haha, believe me...i post up some more stuff but cha boy's gotta study, ya know?!
