No Soup 4 You

Smiling :)

whiteboymagic — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:37:17 +0000

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said but in a different way.” I wrote: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

Moral of the story: be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future with fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!

And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it

Pressures

whiteboymagic — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:54:19 +0000

Life is completely and utterly filled with them. They surround us in everyday life. They conform and contort us into what the world wants us to be, “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment.” Especially at this point in time, with college and all of that good stuff. You have to pick what you want to do for the rest of your life, even though 10 years down the road whatever i learnt in college wont have ANYTHING to do with my job. But what can you do? We are so pressured into our choices, and the funny thing is our choices effect us enormously. The slightest choice can alter your course in life. Alot of times this thing we call pressure kills people, destroys dreams, tears apart families, and worst of all changes who we really are. The slightest thing can change EVERYTHING! It sucks and usually drives people crazy. How do i cope with this pressure? I live my life day by day, second by second, laugh by laugh, because if you take for granted what you have today it will be gone tomorrow and you usually never ever get another chance. So be careful………

What is heart?

whiteboymagic — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:48:44 +0000

Heart

Its the conviction of the soul.

Its the sweat on our foreheads.

Its used by the weak and the strong.

It pushes us off cliffs And teaches us how to climb up.

Some think of it as determination

But its takes more, much more.

Its only possible when you give everything you have

And more…

Its not a mythical power

But it might as well be to the people who don’t have it.

It is unperfectable

But yet it is used to change lives

For Good and for Bad.

For those who yield its power

It becomes more than something

It becomes a lifestyle

A conviction of the soul.

Reality

whiteboymagic — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:47:53 +0000

Reality

The true spectrum of light

The real smell of the night

Some take it for granted

Others take advantage of it

But at the end of the day it keeps us up

It keeps us wanting more and more

It keeps us in check

You cant see it

You cant touch it

But it hits hard

Some dream about it

Other experience it

Through long days it takes its tole

And it doesnt always follow its role

Its undeniably relevant

But at the same time its inconceivable

You cant grow it

Nor can you ignore it

Some try to figure it out

And they discover something else

Its what life is all about

The undeniable, inconceivable, unreliable, master piece of life

Seven Pounds

whiteboymagic — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:15:01 +0000

Seven Pounds. Such a deep movie. I was fine all the way through, and me being a guy i would have never even thought about crying. But for one of the first times in my life i really felt that a movie portrayed what i actually felt inside. So yes, i cried. And it was a well deserved cry.

Ive always lived my life just sittin back doing whatever. But one of my goals in life is to make other peoples lives better, not just my own. Because in reality without making other people happy, i cant truly be happy inside. Ive always liked helping people, and not for the money or the community service but for the 100% true joy that it brings to other people. I just want to make a difference in other peoples lives. Even if its something miniscule its still changing their lives for the better. I might not be a superhero that fights crime but i want to devote my life to making other people happy and in turn fulfilling my life long dream. I just hope that one day, after i pass, i would hope that the people at my funeral arent there cause they have to be or cause they are sad i have departed this planet. But i hope they have come for the sole purpose of knowing that my life was not wasted, i had an impact on people, and that even though im gone everything i did will always be remembered. Cause what really makes a man is not what he has accomplished or how much money he has, its the values that they carry, the mistakes they learned from, and the experiences they had.

All i can say is, i hope one day when i do pass away my funeral is full of people whos lives i have changed. There might only be a handful of people but i still made an impression…

Good For Nothing

whiteboymagic — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:22:10 +0000

So i play paintball. Im not pro or anything but i have a lot of experience. I had recently quit a team i was playing for because i was done with the whole arguing and planned practices. I just wanted to play paintball for the sole purpose of having fun, thats the reason i started playing paintball in the first place anyways. But then i discovered a bunch of guys that would play out at Warped and CPP every weekend, and they just wanted to have fun. Well we joined together and created a team called “Good For Nothing”. Since we started we have bonded so much, we are all best friends and we all hang out, play on the weekends, and play tournaments. When people look at us they dont think of much, because we never take anything seriously but then we end up destroying them. And the reason for this is not because we practice real hard, its not cause our team is made up of a bunch of superstars, and its not cause we cheat. Its because we do what paintball was made for, having fun. A lot of paintball players forget that. They just get the best guys that they can pick up, practice, and hope to win first. But on the other hand you have us. A bunch of normal guys who like to have fun. Our team has fat, skinny, tall, short, funny speaking, and so on so forth. In other words our team doesnt look at all good. But the reason we win is because we dont focus on winning or looking good, we just want to have fun, laugh it up, and live life to the fullest. We could care less if we win or lose. As long as we had a good time, that is all that matters. Because at the end of the day, we are still GOOD FOR NOTHING.

Life

whiteboymagic — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:35:45 +0000

Life. How do people define life? Its such a vague word. To some it can mean having a family and getting memories that last forever. For others it might be a hurdle that was put forth to stop them from taking over the world. And then another person might want to have enough money so one day he can make a pool out of the extra money he made or something like that. But for me, life is a gift. Everyday when i wake up i realize how much fun life is. If i ever played hide and seek with life…….it would always win. Its always unpredictable and for the people that try to predict life or put it in a choke hold, you might wana get checked out. Life was meant for living in my view. I just want to be happy in my life. I dont care if i have to eat top raman for the rest of my life or if instead of having an alarm clock there was a butler that woke me up or something like that. I can truthfully say that i really dont care. And i have always wanted to live my life like that but throughout my life up until the last year or so i thought life was meant to get the best looking girlfreind or to wear nice clothes. But then i took a step back and looked at what i had done with my life. It was being wasted. Everyday morning when i woke up i was putting on a mask and covering the real me. It was pointless. But then i sat back and thought……i know me thinking, hard task. But i wound up deciding that i would rather live my life day by day, laugh by laugh, minute by minute. And the people that are in my life brought that “idea” to me. Dewey lives his life happily. He doesnt need 1 bazillion dollarz! Or to look good all the time. He just laughs and lives up life. And also my newly acquired freind Omar Lanza. He just lives, drinks his beer, laughs, and has a good time. Thats how he has always tried to live his life, and i utterly respect that. He even has underwear that says “life is good” with a little smiley face. I mean come on, how awesome is that! So i hope that for the rest of my life i can wake up in the morning and realize how happy i am and live out my dreams and maybe even one day i might see life running across the street.

Senior Year

whiteboymagic — Sun, 31 May 2009 07:51:32 +0000

Senior year is not anywhere close to being as difficult and challenging as people told me beforehand. But then again the really difficult thing for me is that high school is just gona be flashbacks of my “young” life. All those moments i had with freinds are soon to be gone and replaced with what some would call a real life. Getting a real job, supporting my self, planning my future….along with my wife and kids(whom i have no clue are at this point). Its so confuzing at this point. All i see is things flying by my face while i sit in dead silence with a face of shock and awe. I have no idea what life holds for me down the road. I have no idea what kind of person i might grow into but hopefully i jump off the cliff with hitting as few ledges as possible. Honestly, i have no idea what to think. Im actually really scared. All i know is that one day i hope to keep all my freinds and hold up all my relationships, cause in retrospect, every person that has ever touched my life has changed me in some way. Even though that “way” might be miniscule, it still impacted my life. And i owe my life to all those people.

And i thank them.

The Greenskeepers

whiteboymagic — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:05:30 +0000

I was just having another one of my “brain farts” the other day and thought of this quote. “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishent.” That is just so true in my view at least. All the Hollister and A&F clothes that people wear. The idea that money brings happiness. How everyone wants all these flashy cars and stuff. It sickens me, nobody ever looks different! Everyone is acting and looking the same way. We were all created “special” you could say. So why act like someone else? Does it bring happiness or self fullfillment or something like that?

I was talking with a kid that i have only known for like 6 months. He always acts really stupid and tries to be funny…all the time. But i gave him a ride back to his house. On the way i asked him if that stupid and semi-funny person was really him. He said “no”. I asked him why he did it then. He said it was cause he wanted people to like him and want to be around him but in retrospect he was a really cool guy that was smart and funny all by himself. When people act like that i dont understand why and i probably ever wont. It just makes no sense to me. I would rather live my life knowing that fact that i was me than acting like somebody else. I just dont get it!
