English final at 11:30 and I have no idea what’s awaiting me. My professor says, bring just a pen or a pencil with a 8 by 11 sheet of paper, and just you and your brilliant mind. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. Come in with a fair, unbiased mind and think analytically, critically. Look at every detail and try and search and define the very meaning of that text. Write down your...
There was this homeless, African-American man near the Manila Seafood and he was politely asking people who walked passed him for money so he could buy food. They callously walked passed him and ignored him out of fear or out of pride. I walked up to him and gave him two bucks, he thanked me and offered to shake my hand. I reluctantly accepted, and shook his hand. I asked for his name, his name...

Something I’ve learned about women is that they yell because we didn’t hear them nicely the first time; thus they have to yell to get their point across. They just want to talk, and have someone to listen to them.

Adding on to last week; I lost about 17 pounds of fat, so I went from 176 to 159.

I lost about ten pounds of fat, and gained a couple pounds of muscle. Today I set off a personal record of 275 pounds in deadlifting with my brother, RJ. My muscles are becoming more noticeable, and I’m nearly there in achieving my six pack.
Self Improvement through the mind, spirit, and body.
When I was young, I was clever and could change the world. Now that I’m older and wiser, I changed myself.
On the real though, whenever I look myself in the mirror, I’m like, “Damn, you look good.”
Self love is the best love.
