The words of this song speak for me right now. In every way possible. Thanks for listening!

Here it is if you didn’t catch the game

I promise I’m not strictly a video poster. LOL. I’ll write something good here soon. In the meantime……

 

Heroes season 3..

Enough with the teasers already!!! Just start the dang season.

dream BIG

Lately I’ve been sharing my lifelong dreams  and hopes with people. You’d actually be amazed at how negative people can be sometimes when it comes to someone else pursuing their dreams. One of my dreams is obviously to record an album and go on tour. I stopped sharing my dreams with some people a while back because some people weren’t really receptive to this particular dream. I mean, if I was a basketball player and wanted to be in the NBA, I think people would be more willing to listen to me talk about my hopes of making it become a reality. I came to terms with this when I had tried out for a show 2 years ago called “the one” on abc and it was a flop. I got to the last round and then I was cut, so I wouldn’t be on the show. The show was cancelled about a month after it aired. I remember telling everyone, “I’m trying out for this show!! Wish me luck!!” only to get responses that were very uncomfortable in a way. Almost like they didn’t want me to “make it”.  Unfortunately, singing is associated with “celebrity status”  and “fame” and no matter how much you try to persuade people that that’s not the reason why you are pursuing your  dream, they still don’t believe you, but I’ve come to terms with that by now. Anyway, I remember when I told people that I was getting far and passing rounds, they wanted to be around me all the time and “hang out” etc. It was kind of insulting in a way, but that came with the territory I guess. I remember the pain of telling everyone I didn’t make the show and everyone who was so interested in being my friend for those short months, slowly dissipated back to the way things always were.  The other day, I remember thinking…. “This is the dream and vision that God gave ME, and I should go for it! No matter who doesn’t believe in me, no matter who tries to tear it down,  and no matter how hard things may get.” I used to wish God had given me another gift, like painting or speaking, or acting, or academics, but I thought to myself, that’s being selfish and ungrateful! Peoples opinions should not hinder the outcome of our success! You see, we can’t get upset when we think our dreams fail! It should give us more drive to succeed and build more character from within. If Martin Luther King didn’t continue to dream  who knows what this world would be like. Our lives each individually impact the movement of this world. Fight for your dreams, Live life to it’s fullest, and don’t focus on the little things. Focus on the big picture, and at the very least, you’ll have a good story to tell.

I love this poem

 ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Things I remember as a child

The Redondo Beach Pier. Nothing like those beach barbecued pancakes on a sunny morning!

Edward Scissorhands…FREAKED ME OUT. I was always afraid he was under my bed.

Never missed an episode. They don’t call me Brewman for nothing.

 

Dinner with my family. Always fun, exciting, fulfilling….to the soul.

Don’t be such a CHICKEN.

 So I went to the zoo with my GF this last weekend. I have always had a fear of birds (In case you didn’t know already). I had a really bad experience when I was about 7. I was looking at a bird in a bird cage and tried to put my finger in the cage. In the process I knocked the cage down (which was hanging from a ceiling shaft BY A HANGER!!) and all 8 BIRDS (different birds in 1 small cage, parrots, finches, canaries, you name it) all flew up at me. These birds WERE NOT TAME and I still have scars to prove it. So after some counceling and coaching from Chrissie, I finally built up the courage to go into Bird World at the Denver Zoo. This was crazy. The ugliest creatures to me. They are very undpredictable and know that I’m afraid of them, and love to fly towards me and flap their wings, squack and laugh. I’m not some loony on Maury Povich who is afraid of aluminum foil or spongebob squarepants, but I have good reasons to be afraid of these birds. Anyway, we went in and got out of their pretty quickly. Chrissie was a trooper and went into the snake area to try and over come her fear as well. That’s about as close to birds I hope I ever get again. For now I will retaliate and eAt MOr cHiKen!!! Chik fil-A here I come!

 

Who is Ken Lee in the form of a question please.

So I was trying to pull up this fantastic artist named LEONA LEWIS, who I WILL later blog about. She’s like the british version of kelly clarkson, but WAY better, and I came across “KEN LEE” by mistake. Now I was very entertained and intrigued by this video. Watch for yourself, but before you do pay close attention to how the crowd is REALLY feeling this chick! I mean they love her. I don’t get it. I mean maybe english to them is like some foriegn romantic language to us, but I still…………don’t get it. Anyway, ENJOY
