Motivated

Hello World,

Or shall i say Hello 7 or 8 people that actually read this?? LOL. I hope all is well with each and every one of you today. This episode of my life does not really have any certain purpose. I am pretty much writing to pass time and boredom... Today has been a pretty good day. I woke up early and went to church, and even stopped by the amazing Raising Canes with some really good friends. To be honest with you I have no idea why it is that im so motivated right now.

For the past hour or so all i can think about is succeeding. I want so bad to finish college out and make my parents proud. I want it for myself, and i want it for them. I want to be someone some day. I sit around with my friends and we ask questions like,

"Do you think you will still be in Richmond after you graduate?"
"Do you know what you even want to do?"

and to be honest with you i have an idea of what i want to do. But Just like all the other ideas since the age of five and me wanting to be an orthodontist, its just an idea they come and go and even change. When i have these talks with friends, i have all these dreams, goals, and expectations that i want to accomplish. Some ofcourse seem out of this world and unrealistic, but in all actuality i know that if i set my mind to it i can get it done. Im not the type to give up. When i have my mind set i will do what ever i have to do to get it done, NO MATTER THE OBSTACLE. To answer the questions above, Yes i do plan on still being in RIchmond after i graduate. Mainly because after all the time i spend complaining about this place, the 859 hasn't really been that bad to me. Blogs and thoughts like this are caused by me having those infamous "Heart To Hearts" with all my best friends. If you all are anything like me and my friends, then just about every time you sit down together, you're having one.

I do not know what it is that sparked my interest in talking about this today. Maybe it was Rev Runs Twitter account?? (@RevRunWisdom) i look at his twitter on a daily basis. Its always nice to have a good motivational quote. So with that being said "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bada** speed."
– Eleanor Roosevelt, 1936


LOL i kind of went a complete different direction on that one. Sorry didn't mean to throw you all for a loop. I hope you all enjoyed this entry, and i appreciate you taking time out of your day to read these. More to come and they will not all be so serious. I promise.

Why do we care?

Hello World,

On this episode of True Life: The Ballad of Adam Smith i have just a few things weiging on my mind. Why do we care so much about what other people think? It was just this morning when it really got to me! I woke up with a mention on Twitter from Adam Young (Twitter Name ATY10) telling me that he also decided to make himself a blogspot account. Ofcourse i was excited to read right away and in the mention he posted his url. So me being as anxious and impatient as i am i quickly got on my computer to read his first blog.

In his blog Adam says,

"I always wanted to do a blog, but like him I wouldn't know if anyone would read it. But Nathan Blum ( Twitter name @Real_NathanBlum ) told him that it didn't matter if anyone reads it, you do what you wanna do. So thats why I started this blog of mine."

When i read that in his blog all i could do is SMH. Reading that takes me right back to where i was when deciding to make mine. I was so worried that people would not actually read it. Or if they did read it they would constantly criticize me for all of my spelling errors. LOL now i know what your thinking.. Wow is this guy THAT dumb and spell that much stuff wrong?? No its not that at all, for some reason in the back of my head all i could think is how many people out there would just "hate" on this.

All i could think is how many people in the back of there mind when reading this would say, "Does he think hes all that?" "Does he think that people honestly care what he has to say?" But after reading what blum told me on twitter. I said to myself "I really Don't care what they think." So here i am, my second blog coming to an end and i honestly couldn't be happier. I can not even begin to tell you all how much you should not worry about what other people think. Take my advice and if you want to blog, Then BLOG, If you wanna Rap, THEN RAP, if you want to be a grown man and watch hannah montanna (i prolly wouldn't tell any of your friends) but you go RIGHT ahead and you watch Hannah Montanna. If thats what makes you happy then by all means you do it.
