As the World Turns...I keep on truckin'
Long time no blog...but i've been busy living my life like it's golden! I've had some papers to complete, finished my spring cleaning, and created a Flickr account.
Today It was a GORGEOUS day in San Francisco. I went around the city and took some pictures.

Besides becoming a amature photographer, the olympic torch passed through San Francisco a few days ago. It was crazy! I was going to go down and watch everything but I saw on the news that the Free Tibet protesters blocked off some streets and made it way to crowded for the torch runner to pass through without incident. So the mayor changed it's route, taking it through downtown SF.
People from far and wide were all out of sorts because they are stupid! They knew they safety risks and that the protesters would stir up a commotion, so clearly the police would change the torch route....anyways why couldn't the Tibetans protest 5 years ago when China was chosen for the 2008 Olympics? China has been treating the Tibetans wrong for a while now...why make a fuss months before the Olympics where everything is all built and ready? They must be smoking dope!
But enough of my rants...Happy Weekend!

The rumors are true, Beyonce & Jay-Z have merged to become a the most powerful couple in the entertainment industry!
Hey Everybody! This a very special blog for me today...I just got back from NYC! I had a wedding to attend...yes that's right folks. I was at Beyonce and Jay-Z's nuptials. The wedding was AMAZING AWESOME SPLENDID FANTASTIC & of course BOOTYLICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE WEDDING FACTS!!! I know all those celebrity gossip blog website will be reporting this story also, but I just wanted to let those of you who read my blog know the truth!
The Wedding!
I am 100% certain that Beyonce and Jay-Z's wedding took place at Jay-Z's apartment last night in TriBeCa. There shouldn't be no photos of Beyonce at all by the paparazzi. How'd she manage that? Well, Kelly and Michelle smuggled her into the wedding reception area in the back of a truck!!!. The lovely couple were married by Beyonce's longtime pastor from her church down in Houston, TX.
It was an intamte affair, few friend and family, they love their privacy. I'm just happy I could have been apart of such a grand occasion.
All that I can say is that their wedding was EXTRAORDINARY! I will remember it for the rest of my life and beyond the grave! I wish Bey and Jay the best, through thick and thin, the good lord will see you through! BLESSED BE!!!!!!!!!!!

Gardening, Gnomes, American Idol, & Strawberries
I know you guys probably have heard the reports the Beyonce and Jay-Z are getting married…but don’t believe the hype. Supposedly they are tying the knot tomorrow Friday April 4, 2008 somewhere in
Guess what happened to me Monday at school? Well it was our first day back from spring break. So, you know how some teachers like have that small talk, “Hello everyone. Welcome back! How was everyone’s break?” and so on. Well my teacher decided to take 40 minutes out of a 70 minutes class to tell us about how she revamped her garden. She took the whole week of spring break to do that, fine. But why tell the class about in a 40 minutes boring as hell story…She started off her week by dropping her husband off at the airport. He was going back east to visit "family" (personally I think he has another woman because of things she's talked about in class…but that’s just me…) She then went to Lowe’s or Home Depot or whatever to purchase $500 worth of landscaping materials. Over the course of spring break she would; pull weeds, add more soil, plant flowers that she bought from the plant nursery, etc. So by the end of the week she was all done, the garden was ready for her summer BBQ’s or whatever she does. I wonder if she had any help? She’s a pretty tiny old Asian woman…maybe God have her a boost of energy. Oh and to put the finished touches on it, because it just wasn’t good enough, she went out and bout 10 garden gnomes, yes 10 garden gmones! She said they had female ones too(I didn’t know that…) She paired them up in couples and everything.(yes I know that’s redundant, hush up) So, at the end of her long life draining tale a student asked her why she put so much focus on something as simple as a garden. She said that she didn’t have any children and that nature is her one true love…I would think it’s anthropology, that’s what she teaches…But 5 minutes into her story I already had my iPod on jammin’ to
Natasha Bedingfield’s new album. Pocketful of Sunshine, the album is amazing! Click HERE, HERE, and HERE for her songs on Youtube and her official Youtube page.
American Idol
That tiny little girl on American Idol FINALLY got the boot! Ramiele Mulaby (someone correct me on the spelling of her name) She could sing but all her songs were mediocre. As I’ve said before, my money is on Syesha Mercado. Can someone please tell her to stop with this Whitney Houston phase…its nice and all but people compare them and we all know Whitney sings her song better and Syesha end up losing votes…so hopefully she’ll try something more original. Her voice is great so she should have no problem. David Archuleta, on the other hand, has been having some stage dad issues. I heard that when he was on Star Search a few years back, his dad was an asshole to him…and the same thing is happening behind the scene on American Idol. I like David, but like I’ve stated before he’s just too robot-like and the Mormon thing scares me, hahaha!
P.S.
Some Mexican guy was selling delectable looking strawberries in the quad of my school today. I bought a whole case for $5. When I got home I ate like half of them…hehehe at least I’m trying to be healthy!
Ok ya’ll I’m going to go grab some grub! PEACE OUT!

I need to calm down sometimes...
I just got off my cell phone embarrassed!
Less than 10 minutes ago I received a call from a local area code. I answered the call but the person hung up in my face... (I hate when people do that! Just say you got the wrong damn number...) Anyway, I called the person back.
No Answer.
I waited a few minutes and tried again. This time somebody answered the telephone. They said, "Hello?" I replied, "Why the fuck is you playin' on my goddamn phone!" The person (a woman) responded, "I'm sorry! I dialed the wrong number...and sir you need to (stern slow voice)CALM DOWN!" and then she hung up in my face...
Usually I would call the person back and continue to cuss them out even harder. This time was different though, this time I took a step back and said, "Self, what's wrong with you? Was it really that serious?" To which I answered, "No, it certainly was not." I let it go just that easy. And went and had me a bowl of beautiful nice ripe
People, sometimes you may think putting your anger on other makes you feel better. And it does, for a moment in time but sooner or later you are going to get that angry feeling again. You can't go around forever being angry and combative, especially over some trivial ass shit as a wrong phone number. As Beyonce sings in the Destiny's Child song "Happy Face" off of their 2001 multi-platinum album Survivor "..take a deep breath. Close your eyes feel the love and give a smile!"
Peace and Blessing!
