And a new post!

It's been forever I know, but I honestly miss this place especially after tumblr has been gang raped by lames. Anyways...

Life has been well, I guess...

I just need to learn how to cut stupid girls out of my life, but ughh... it's so hard when you like them and you know you can't get over them. I think I just need a real girl or something, I'm looking, but... fuck.

I'm working on getting a job so I can fund my summer somehow. I need shoes, new wrestling shoes/equipment, clothes, and to get ready for college. Need all the money I can get right now.

Apparently, I have a photo shoot with my friends soon and I need to get some bread up by then so I can actually get something. Also should have some Sabakus coming in whenever I can arrange the damn meet up with my friend. Pretty much, I just wish I had a car right now, I hate having to take public transportation when it takes such shorter time if I had my own vehicle or a ride all the time. I also got my driver's license so I may show you guys it tomorrow, for now I just have some make up work to do and then sleep. I have my last few exams next week and then I just have to pray I got high enough marks to get my IB Diploma!

Until next update,
Victory or Death!

Been a while...

Sorry that I haven't been updating my blog as frequently as I would have wanted to. I've just been pretty busy as of late with being ineligible for the first marking period and having to go to summer school as a result, to being in North Carolina for a month with family, and just overall laziness to update combined with just being apathetic about the whole situation. Since I've been in North Carolina, I've just been doing a lot of soul searching to try to get my head together and reflect on what happened. I also had to look at my own parent's lives and realize that making their same mistakes won't get me where I want to be in my future. On the same topic, my dad has been in the hospital quite frequently while I was in North Carolina and even missed my birthday on the 13th, which pretty much sucked for me because I figured my dad was capable of keeping himself healthy without me or my brother being around to remind him.

Did a lot of driving around in this. Gotta love being out in the country in this.

Aside from that summer school was probably what I needed to help myself get my head together to do well in school. I pretty much showed myself that I could actually do well and get exceed my typical expectations in school. My visit with my school counselor also helped me to just do my own thing to get to where I want to be since I'm even at more of a disadvantage than the rest of my IB Class in terms of getting into the school I want. 

Returning to weight lifting with my former teammates was also a bit more of a struggle than I had thought it'd be. Having to swallow my pride to approach them was probably one of the more difficult thing I've done recently. Just not being able to be apart of the team I've been with for the past three years ago has been a great pain to me. On the brighter side, this time allows me to focus on wrestling and track now as well as try to get a job during school while still having time to do well in class.

Some things I got over the summer were my Laney Air Jordan Vs that I had shipped to my grandparent's house in North Carolina which I'm planning on restoring. My 3Sixteen SL-1000xs came in as well right before I was about to return to North Carolina from the week that I had to be in to go to appointments.I also had Jason ship out my gray Huf Quake v3 which has been my fitted grail for quite sometime especially after having San flaunt it at me whenever we'd get on StickAM, but I never got around to taking a picture of it. I also used part of my birthday money that I got from my godmother to buy a new copy of Street Fighter IV and a new memory card for my camera that my dad still has until the end of summer.

Some minor yellowing and the paint on the midsole is chipping in unsightly places, but now that I have the right paint, I can fix that which will just leave me to acquiring seaglow to restore the soles back to an icy color.

I really like the fit of these, easily way better than the typical Nudies and APCs I see around in terms of quality and fit. Also took some updated shots of my 514s as well, like how the earth tone came out in the shot.

Recooperating...

I woke up pretty late today even though I slept around the time that I should be sleeping at. The school's International Night went well, a little lacking in some areas, but I enjoyed what I saw. I still feel guilty for my little incident during the show, hopefully neither my teacher nor my principal caught it nor that anyone else caught it on camera or film. Last thing I need right now is a suspension or some sort of punishment. Haven't done much at all really today, pretty much spent my whole day at the house, only left it to take some random shots, pickup shots, and my 8 month shots of my 514s for the N-SB.org Denim Contest. I have a lot on my mind, and even more things to do at this point. Really don't want to let my team down and remain ineligbile so I should really be doing work right now. I made a bet with my coach that if I made myself eligible again, he'd buy me tickets to this concert at the Fairgrounds on Memorial Day so I have more motivation to finish all this work. Here's some pictures to make this blog a bit more interesting...



Pretty happy about finally getting these shirts, UPS Ground makes it seem like torture. Now it's two down and three more to go along with a fitted. What can I say? I love Street Fighter!












Been wearing these for 8 months and two days now. It's amazing how much they've changed with wear over this past semester. I've been religiously wearing them everyday ever since I got them after our first home game loss to Seneca Valley during football season through my relationship and up to today.  Some noticeable changes are the spot of blue paint on my right knee from when I was being messy while working on my customs and the honeycombs and pocket fades may have gotten more noticeable now. I still have a lot of work to do and with 4 months left, I've got to  get it into gear so hopefully I get the best possible results in this year of wear.

Some random plant that has been in this pot for a year or so now. Started growing some leaves recently.

A plant my father brought from his recent visit to us during our Spring Break.







A bunch of flowers that our neighbor has been taking care of as though they were her children. They're the reason why my patio is riddled with pollen and why there's some on my jeans now. Aside from my seeting hatred for their pollen, they are pretty beautiful.

Anyways, this concludes my post. Getting to figure out how to get the pictures to post right where I want them seeming took forever. For those still interested in the Mesh Cleaning Guide, it's been delayed because my laptop is messed up so I have to use my mom's laptop which doesn't have the pictures on them since I failed to upload them even though I took the pictures over 3 days ago. I'll probably head to bed soon, I have church in the morning.
