Sam's Lesson of the Day

Hello my young brothas and sistas. Today i'll be teaching you a word i use from time to time when I happen to agree with someone. When I don't, well you know what happens.

fo' shizzle my nizzle

"fo shizzle ma nizzle" is a bastardization of "fo' sheezy mah neezy" which is a bastardization of "for sure mah nigga" which is a bastdardization of "I concur with you whole heartedly my African american brother"

This thing is AWESOME 

This is why we DON'Topen secret compartments while people arne't looking! 

MNS - Max Graham

Great night as always at the Las Palmas. I got my dance on and got to see some good friends. Tonight Lauren came out for the first time which was awesome. It's always cool dancing with friends, and if you're reading this, why weren't you there?! Tonight should provide some heavy rain, which i actually kind of look forward to :) post more later, God bless.

Sasha @ Avalon

Went to Sasha Saturday Night, had an Awesome time! So besides the insane music, I witnessed something I had NEVER seen before. It was so weird that I just started laughing.


Weird Asian guy

This weird Asian guy (see candid pic above) was doing this weird elfish dance (that is the only way i can really describe it) towards this one girl. The girl plays the normal "oh my God, scary guy get away from me routine" and dances toward the guy friend she has with her and whispers "help me please". So he grabs a hold of her and starts dancing close. NORMALLY speaking the Asian guy would back away, but NO. this guy kept going at it even with the other guy holding her. Okay so at this point the couple start dancing in a circle to avoid this character. So here is the really weird part. The asian guy finally kind of gives up and starts dancing away, so the girl eases of her male friend. THEN the asian guy comes back and starts trying to elf dance with the girl's GUY friend. He was absolutely clueless and i was on the floor. OK i'm done i just thought i'd share that. Hope all of you had a great weekend.

I haven't done an update in a while so here goes.

So I got a haircut and I told the woman I didn't want it too short, So does she listen? No. Somehow I guess she thought I meant "AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE". I guess when you go through training at Supercuts they teach you how to do exactly opposite of what the customer asks for all the time. Work is going pretty well, Roberto and I just finished up a project and met our deadline. It's looking really nice and I can't wait till it gets released out into the world. I love my job, and the food is very nice =] Car is good, although it isn't fun when you pay lots of money to get it cleaned and then it rains literally HOURS afterwards :) I've gone out to Monday Night Social for the past three weeks, it's been a lot of fun cause Leah has been coming out, it's always good to see her.

Note: I'm about to attempt to get philosophical, if you don't want to think, then stop reading here.

Finally i've just been doing a lot of introspection. We are faced with all these challenges and choices and it's so hard to know the decisions we should make. For example, Love. Big topic right? I guess it comes down to the question "Is Love Enough?" Sometimes I don't think it is, unless it's unconditional, but we as humans have all sorts of conditions we place on people. Expectations that limit our love for them. If you really look at love or any relationship, the individual is "in love" with their partner's ability to satisfy that individual's desires. It sounds so selfish but ultimately is true. It seems as though sometimes you can replace "I Love You" with "I Trade You". You do this for me, and i'll do this for you. A huge part of me wants to disregard this way of thought, but I can't ignore it.

Your comments are welcome.

LOL. I always get a kick out of dogs that do this.

This is my neighbors dog Harry, Enjoying the morning Breeze

Um ... Is that the car from the Ghostbusters?! 

Vote

So I don't really cover politics that much in my blog, frankly because It's a topic that you really can't win on once someone has made up their mind. I know I have a few Bush supporters who frequently visit this page and i only ask that you really try and read between the lines of what Bush says, and does.

From Tonight's debate:

Nice Bush

No matter who you vote for though, please go out and do it. Peace.

MNS - Dj Irene

DJ Irene Kicked some SERIOUS ASS. She's one of the most energetic DJ's on the scene right now and i think will do real well with her new album. Leah, Chris, Tiffa Erik and I where there and had some good times.

Friday Night Lights

On Friday night Lauren and I went to see Friday Night Lights. It was cool seeing her and the movie was pretty good. It had a lot of character development which i didn't expect, so that was refreshing. Additionally i got a haircut that literally took an h our to do. The woman had to make sure every strand of hair was perfect. Weekend overall was real nice. I definitely have to give thanks to God, he's doing some incredible stuff in my life right now, it really showed through all of the events this weekend. Things with the lawsuit are getting a lot better, and my parents are a lot less stressed out. It was really taking a toll on all of us. Tonight DJ Irene at MNS. Should be a good time. I'll post more later, stay sucka free.

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.

I never usually post emails in my blog, but i think this one is a good read, and a good reminder to all of us. Thanks Stevie:

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant.They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello." I've never forgot en that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away...God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.


3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have t he plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enou gh left to leave her a tip.


4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.


In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.


5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare &serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.


Most importantly.................. "Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."
