I HAZ A BUCKET

Last Sunday, as I struggled to stay awake at work after the previous 48 hours of no sleep, I decided that I want my 21st birthday to be even grander. I planned to save up to go to Vegas and do it big there, but I said to myself, I could throw a party like A&K before. Why limit the fun? The realness of how old im getting by the second set in after I slammed into Cindy with a shopping cart. For me 21 will be a milestone. I have so much that I saw myself being, doing, possessing in my head before the age of 21. Although not disappointed, I have now decided to create a sort of “bucket list” of things I want to accomplish before I turn 21. I want to be able to do these things before heading out to Vegas, before I decide to throw another party. Thanks again to Mayhem. Mayhem rocks. Here is a short list of what I want to accomplish:

A in Theoretical Physics. This one is a bitch, but it’s all math, and I have missed physics very much all summer.

Read 2 novels. I love to further my promiscuity of the English language. What better way than with novels?  Robinson Crusoe for sure

Lead HSO to organization of the year. I have to uphold my VP position in HSO. I am looking for dances we could perform.

Put out the mixtape. I started last summer and didn’t know what I was getting myself into. This summer I had about 30+ snippets of could bees buzzing in my head which I wrote them down, but so many other things came up and the two recordings didn’t turn out pretty, so maybe by next summer ya’ll will get to hear my diarrhea of the mouth. (Run on sentence)

Finish any of the stories I begin writing. I have this really long story that Ive been working on on and off for a long time and I started writing a different one months back, and they managed to come together into a hefty piece of literature. I first have to finish putting them together by “pen” so to speak, since I’ve already meshed them in my head

Define the top 4 abs and work out the bottom two into submission. The bottom abs are the hardest and I’ve been getting lazy with them

Participate in at least 3 races. Not just running races. I found a bike race I’d like to do.  The underlying goal is being able to participate in a triathlon but that requires single all year round dedication.


I might add more later but for now it’s solid

Signed with a Home Tattoo, Happy Birthday to You

August 2nd 1990 I took my first breath
They said I cried and smiled till it was none left
I guess I knew what I was in for beforehand
the life of a miniature grown man
First of two sons
I remember Big Bird and squirt guns
Aunt Ana dressed up like a clown when I turned one
scared the shit outta me but thanks for trying
sitting in my high chair throwing cake and crying
I remember everything, every single detail
clinging on to dad’s leg like don’t leave I’ll be good, promise
I'll do anything dad honest
but he left my momma
so she had to go to work and bust her ass for them dollars.
All my friends got allowances
I had a paper route
and when no one was looking, I threw the papers out
Got caught made my mom furious
said if you're gonna do something, do it right
that’s what earnest is
Now it all makes sense, but back then I wasn’t having it
obsessed with pokemon, so young and so adamant
more concerned with passing grade school than playing ball
then I learned if I worked a little I could have it all



I am so blessed to be able to celebrate 20 years of life.
