The gift of water

20130827-132305.jpg

I’ll be brief, last night between the many times I woke up and feel back to sleep. I stumbled upon this video that really touched my heart. For a while now I’ve been looking for a charity to either donate my money or time, of not both.

I feel like that search is coming to an end. Water is life is a charity that works in developing countries to provide short term and long term solutions in obtaining safe drinking water to learn more and to donate click this link WATERisLIFE

I’m either hoping to work out an event held at my job for them. Or find another profitable solution. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Feel free to share this with your friends

Schools back for fall

It’s officially the first day of school for not only myself, but for the kids as well. It’s amazing how summer went by however, I am glad to be back on campus this semester.

I’m really looking forward to bettering myself and getting that much closer to finishing my education. So im not really enjoying this wine hangover this morning 😓 probably not the best thing to drink the night before your first day. Haha. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this, and have a great rest of your day!

Breaking up, breaking away

It’s been a while since my ex and I haven’t been together. Yet, whenever I find anything that either belongs to her or find something that I kept as a memoir of a day we spent together I can’t help but feel this overwhelming sadness of someone I’ve lost.

To me it’s a fate worse than death, just because death is inevitable. However, when you choose to not have someone on your life and they fall out of your life there’s this desperation to reach out to them just because its still possible. It’s living with the dead and I hate it.

I’m not entirely sure if I miss her as a person or just the memory of her. I guess the sole reason she meant so much to me was that I gave my entire self to her. Something I’ve never done with anyone else because I didn’t want to feel hurt. I know I have to move on, and I am slowly. I just miss her, regardless of our past and all the the things we did to one another.

She’s the most courageous, wonderful, intellectual, sweetest, endearing women I’ve ever met. I just want to let her know I don’t hate her and I wish her the best in everything she does in life. Because she deserves it, she was my best friend, my soul mate, my everything. She made me strive to be a better person. However she ends up with, will be a very lucky guy.

I just want closure I guess. I hope I find it one day. Thanks for reading today guys and have an awesome day.

Enjoying our final days together

Well it’s almost here, the Greene beans (my nieces and nephew) including myself are going back to school this upcoming Monday. It’s bitter sweet just because I’m happy to have a normal college student schedule. However, I am going to miss my mornings with them. So I woke up with the mind set that I’d try to make this day as busy and fun as possible for them. We started by making French toast, turkey bacon, and a cup of chamomile tea. If the weather allows us we’ll be going to the park for a picnic maybe kite flying. Thanks for reading and have a great day guys.

Life, death, & everything in between

My niece came to me a couple nights ago saying she was scared of dying. Trying to comfort her I said god willing that wont happen for a very long time. She preceded to tell me she wishes she could live forever so she’d never have to feel the fear of dying. I say with her quietly for a while thinking about what she had said. Remembering that I myself had these fears as I grew up.

However, I asked her what would you want to do if you could live forever? She went on about going to school visiting the world having a family and so on. Then I said okay what after that? She paused and said I don’t know live I guess. I asked her wouldn’t you get bored if you’d done everything you could. I looked at her into her eyes and said you’re gonna die. I’m going to die your mom dad brother sister everyone you love will die. But don’t be sad we were born to die (I than sang a part of the Lana del Rey song to her to make her laugh don’t mind me corny uncle.😋 ).

We are meant to absorb as many things possible and try to share those things with people we care about until its our time to go. She seemed to understand in a way as much as an eight year old can. I’ve been realizing recently life isn’t going to go exactly as I plan. As much as I’d like some things to be different I have to learn to role with the punches and pray that there will be a tomorrow to try again.

Also as a side note I’ve been feeling pretty depressed so I’ve been trying to do things that cheer me up like read, look at flowers, drink tea, listen to music. It might sound pretty lame but its what makes me happy. If anyone’s reading this who’s going through a rough time. Make time for something that you love, You deserve it. Thanks for reading and I was wondering that do you think is our purpose on earth? I’d really like to know what y’all think. Have an awesome day, and try to do a good deed today! Even holding the door for someone can make the difference!

Music makes me happy

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Things have just been accumulating. nothing to bad, just get everything in order before classes start this fall. The reason I decided to work was due to my recent rediscovery of music again. I’ve always been somewhere who appreciated the aesthetics of visual more than any other sense. However, music had really made an impact in my life. So if you’re feeling down today, here’s a couple of my current rediscoveries thanks to my iPod and YouTube history. Thanks and have an awesome day!! 😗

Pieces falling into place.

I’m not really sure what to write today but I know that I’m grateful for all my friends and family that are in my life. If it weren’t for them I don’t know where I’d be. So thank you everyone I know and love.

So whoever reads this, be grateful for the people who love you. Try to show them that you’re thinking about them and you appreciate them for just being in your life. The littlest acts of kindness have the best impact.

Most influential book you’ve ever read?

What book have you read at this point in time has been the most meaningful. Personally, my favorite book has been Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The book was chosen as a last minute attempt for my senior book British literature English report. Since everyone was doing Beowulf or something along those lines I just wanted to do something different. I didn’t fully appreciate the book until chapter 6 there was a passage that really resonated with me.

Clerval called forth the better feelings of my heart; he again taught me to love the aspect of nature, and the cheerful faces of children. Excellent friend! how sincerely did you love me, and endeavour to elevate my mind until it was on a level with your own! A selfish pursuit had cramped and narrowed me, until your gentleness and affection warmed and opened my senses; I became the same happy creature who, a few years ago, loved and beloved by all, had no sorrow or care. When happy, inanimate nature had the power of bestowing on me the most delightful sensations. A serene sky and verdant fields filled me with ecstasy. The present season was indeed divine; the flowers of spring bloomed in the hedges, while those of summer were already in bud.

To me, that is the most beautiful thing written in the English language. If I could ever make someone feel as Clerval made Victor feel, I would feel I had done my part in this world as a good friend. If you’ve never read it. I really recommend it, when I’m feeling low I read that part to remind me things always get better.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this poorly written passage. I’m on my lunch break, and these Dino nuggets are too hard to resist!! (:

Another year older, another year just as wise

Well it’s my birthday I started it yesterday, something I’ve never done before. To be completely honest it’s not something I don’t celebrate just for the fact that if I enjoy it immensely I worry it won’t live to it the years after.

I know it’s weird but I don’t like to expect anything just because expectations make you assume and assumptions make you feel entitled. If you go into a situation not expecting any sort of gratification and leave with something. To be that makes the situation so much better.

Anyways back to my early celebration. It was great!! I received a set of Rita Hayworth films and the sweetest card. I also received a very nice tie bar, and a replacement t-shirt from a prior situation that was more comedic in a sense than scary. All in all it was the best birthday I’ve experienced. It’s really nice to know that someone cares about you enough to go out of their way to get you something you’ll enjoy.

Well, I’m going out later tonight to continue the celebration. Regardless of anything I’m happy that I’ve met such giving people and I have such amazing family that truly cares for me. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this and have a great day. Here’s a song that always puts me in a good mood. Willy Moon – I Want To Be Your Man

Maybe cleaning my room wasn’t the best idea.

As I was cleaning my room I found a journal my former girlfriend and I kept together. In this journal we supposed to document everything we did together, including and excluding what was on our list.

We’ve been apart for about two years now but just recently stop talking to each other. I try to be strong, but I still miss her a lot. I sincerely thought she was the girl I was going to marry.

I’m not saying it was the most perfect relationship. I did and said a lot of things that I wish I could take back. She also hurt me in a lot of ways. Yet, there’s still a part of me that feels that I lost someone who truly cared about me. Despite what other people think or say, I know she had good intentions. She just wasn’t too sure if I was worth putting everything on the line. There’s not anything wrong for that if she didn’t feel the same way I did its understandable I don’t hold it against her. I just wish I hadn’t opened myself entirely to her. Now I just feel alone and exposed

Here’s a song that always makes me think of her. Stormy Weather – Lena Horne
