completely pure.

i love the radio. well, let me rephrase that. i love the radio at NIGHT. daytime radio is fluke to me. same songs being replayed over and over again. however, night time that shit is always on point. whether its love, talk and slow jams or random mixes playing live from various clubs. i feel like every time i turn on the radio at night, i hear an old favorite song that i havent heard in awhile. tell me that is not the BEST feeling. hearing an old song that you used to love. you are surprised you actually remember all the words, since its been so long- but you always do. you go back to the very last time you heard that song or even a time that song was playing that stands out in your mind. how you felt, what you were doing, who you were with at the time. all that shit comes back. you feel the words of the song and the old memories. why cant the radio always be like that? entertainment, i guess. most people want whats new and shit. i wish i could take over all the radio stations in the world and make them all poppin again. not to say they arent in their own ways, but i feel like i would add the extra spice that they've been missing. its kind of sad that i didnt even bother bringing a radio to richmond. i didnt want to hear the radio they have out there. smh. its okay, i have faith. music will come back to me. anyways, back to the point. so last night on the radio i heard this old jam that i remember hearing late nights on the radio. reggae music is where its at. give it a chance, if you arent a fan. you will be, i promise.

Love and Affection- Pressure

this shit touches my heart. it just makes me smile. like i cant help to start dancing and singing. try to tell me that it doesnt make you all warm inside. i.dare.you.

-usually after i write a post, i go back and reread it. you know little shit i can fix. i'm not even going to do that this time. this shit was pure. straight from me. enjoy.-

hehehehehehe

i love you,


and that's urgent.

"let me see your wallet because its got to have
BAD MOTHERFUCKER written on it."




i'll holla.

ugh.

random,but

i hate how on movies or t.v. the subtitles aren't always right. they skip words and shit. ugh. subtitlers or whoever the fuck does that shit needs to step their shit up.

i'll holla.

just because.

so, i saw this note that everyone was filling out on facebook and i decided to post it here..frankly because i have nothing better to do with my time.

20 random facts, things, habits, or goals about muna.

- sometimes i feel like i'm so different from everyone else. not better or worse..just different.
- i tend to hold grudges. i cant help it. i know its a really bad habit to have, i'm trying to change..so we'll see how that works out. i also get tired of people easily. oops.
-i have attention problems. dont watch a movie with me, its a set up lol. unless its harry potter. then, im focused as shit.
- i know i'm going to do big things with my life. i just have to figure out exactly what those big things are.
- i wish i could go to a different college every semester. never get bored with a place. i know where i would go next..
-my mom is my rock. regardless of it all, she is still my rock.
- i really believe everything happens for a reason. it just does. no regrets. if i could take things back, everything would be different right now.
- i like to think that i'm a good friend, but i feel like everyone i get close to eventually disappoints me. i dont know why. maybe its me..maybe its them. who knows. and yet, i still try to see the good in people. smh.
- i'm ready to start a new life, away from what i'm used to..i think.
- i dont think im destined to get married or to have kids. i'm probably going to be that cool aunt that everyone has. no kids, just like five dogs and a cool ass job that keeps me young.
- i'm an old soul. sometimes i think i was born in the wrong year.
- despite what my best friend thinks, i am not a pothead lol. get lifted like john legend and shittt..
- aden gideon is my best friend. there is no one in the world like her. i cant wait until we are sixty something still poppin m&ms and going 90 in that yellow bug.
- brown sugar is my favorite movie. i want to be sidney shaw. i understand that shes just a character, but shit a nigga can dream right?
- i live for two things. and two things only. chocolate chip cookies and honey bunches of oats. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
- sometimes when my friends or family are hurting or upset, i wish i could take their pain away and put it on myself. if only..
- i love meeting new people. like if that was a class in school, niggas would be getting A's and shit. i guess im just a people person. i cant believe i just said that. i hate when people say that. i'm always up for meeting new people. new people= new conversation and new points of view. thats refreshing.
-rocky is the only male in my life that has ever done me wrong. i love him.
-i like music with substance. i like when music feeds my soul. i feel like there are only a select few that really talk about real shit in their music nowadays. someone surprise me. please.
-i'm eritrean. and honestly, i wouldnt have it any.other.way.

merry christmas world.

a gift to pass on.

a friend of mine, Marquis,
brought a Def Poetry Jam video to my attention.
i had watched it before,
but i really listened this time around.
its the same subject as "Peculiar Evolution"
by Dahlak Braithwaite,
but a different approach to it.

i feel like every person
should be obligated to watch this video
at LEAST once in their lifetime.
psh, i lied.
maybe like ten times.

it spoke to me,
hopefully it does the same for you.

"Nigger, Niggas, Niggaz"

and then
i ask that you pass it on,
just like it was passed to me.

Then you can't go back to being just a half 'cause you know what it's like to be whole."

http://www.myspace.com/kidcudi

its funny,
i may have tons of pictures..
but it STILL feels like a dream to me.




i'll holla.

i owe you one VCU.

a small intimate crowd. faithful fans and soon-to-bes. Earth Tones. Kid Cudi. and his number one fan. Muna Futur.

good music.

Free Kid Cudi tickets, VCU Commons Ballroom. FREE KID CUDI TICKETS NOVEMBER 20th. i think i read the poster about five times. okay..i lied. i read it exactly eleven times. i was so amazed by this gift to VCU that i even took the poster with me to my room. its proudly hanging in my room on my dresser. i made sure to make sure all my girls knew about the concert and escorted each one to get their tickets. the concert didn't start until 7pm..but best believe we were there at 6:30. not having first row? not an option. eventually made inside the ballroom. closest person to the stage? you already know. first group was Earth Tones. i can honestly say they were a pleasant surprise. all five of these up and coming artists had their own swagg and talent. the beatboxer.the guitarist. the three MCs. all with a different sound. their sound caught me off guard at first, im not going to lie. less than a minute later, i felt their music. it spoke to me. i'm a fan of different, new sounds. and these guys are just that. look out for them. they are doing big things. i'll post a picture as soon as i get one.

good music.

i kept looking behind me. maybe he will come up behind me, before he goes on stage. dj says "get ready for Kid Cudi." heart starts beating faster.and faster. and faster.and faster. the crowd goes wild. i look to my left and see "the cudder." so much engery. so much swagg. so much love for the music. i lost my breath for a second. just because i was so scised to see the kid. its not only about his beats. his swagg. his looks. or his stage presence. its about his words. his thoughts. his actions. many people dont take the time to really listen to what he is saying. they listen, but they dont hear. i get chills when i hear his words." u fiendin now ask around and i bet u’ll figure out how to zone and control ya future. finally a nigga getting deep with his words. refreshing. kid cudi gives me hope. he gives music in general hope. it isnt everyday you see a fairly new artist talking about real shit. everyone can relate to something he has said in his songs. and.i.love.that. everyone needs to sit down. turn the volume up loud. and let the music feed your soul. it deserves to eat up some of this shit. he will be the new face of hip-hop. just wait. with a swagg like that? how could he not?

good music.

not to be an obsessing fan..but everyone knows, at a concert, you never leave the place until the house lights come on. a wise woman taught me that. after the concert, me and the girls waited. and waited. and waited. sure enough, the cudder himself came out to mingle with some fans. talk about a real nigga huh? eventually i gather up enough confidence to go over to him. heart starts beating fast. then faster. and faster. i walk up to him and he is right.infront.of.me. scised much? you bet. i introduce myself and we take a picture. [i'll post it as soon as i get it]. tell him i have read his blog. and let him know he should read mine. i believed i would meet him, so i already had my blog name on a piece of paper to give him. he seemed interested. he said he would hit me up. [if youre reading this, i have mad respect for you and you just got a whole new fan base at VCU]. i walk away from him with a smile on my face. i damn near start going wild with my girls only a couple steps away from him. some have said Kid Cudi was "cocky and into himself." they dont know the real kid. they dont know the down to earth nigga he really is. give this man a chance. he will not disappoint you. he will be that "man on the moon" that you play "day and night" while you have "pillow talk" after getting that "maui wowie" hahaha. yeah i went there. he is shit. i kid you not.

good music.

classic.

Once upon a time,
on the planet somewhere,
a bombistic beat was born.
Let's call her Hip-Hop.
<3>

"She's Brown Sugar...you kno we all lookin for wifey material; a woman thats fine, smart, classy but not a snob...hella hella sexy, but not a hoe. that's brown sugar. I mean, don't get confused by her business suit- she is a freak in the bedroom..."

"When did you fall in love with hip-hop?"

"So what's the difference between rap and hip-hop? It's simple. It's like sayin' you love somebody and bein' in love with somebody. Rap is only a world."

"Just when you think you know hip-hop, it surprises you and reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place."

"Simplicity provides a fine line between elegance and plainness."

"You are the perfect verse over a tight beat."

"..To hip-hop. I loved you. I still do..and I always will."

BARACK OBAMA.

THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

I am still in complete and utter shock. Change has come for America and life can only go up from here. November 4, 2008 at 11pm will forever go down in history. I feel so fortunate and privileged to be apart of this historic time. Obama's 349 electoral votes to McCain's 162. Obama's 63,423,384 popular votes to McCain's 56,079,500. Not only did he win, but he KILLED it. 

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

we HAVE a black president."

the reality of humans.

i like to consider myself a generally nice person.
that is, if we are friends.
if i don't fuck with you, then you will know it.
but for some reason,
it feels like the people that
aren't supposed to let me down..
ALWAYS DO.

i've always been a very open person with my feelings
and maybe thats why i continually get fucked over.
i'm beginning to think i need to reinvent myself.

......
i'm cutting this short.
shiesty people don't deserve to have a long post on my blog.
fuck it, im done.






i'll holla.

good ol' google.

you know those songs
that you absolutely love to listen to..
but you have no idea what they are called
or
who sings them?
yeah, me too.

so, im sitting here watching HONEY.
..don't ask why..
and i hear this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG.
you will always catch me singing
or humming to it,
but ask me the name or artist
and i can't help you.

but this time,
God's gift to mankind
aka google,
saved my life!

with just a click on my makeda
i found out the name and artist :D
and now i'm passing on my findings
by putting it up for your listening pleasure.
Closer by the infamous Goapele.

you know those songs
that you just want to listen to
when you are alone and chillin
somethings on your mind
and you just want to sit back and just think.
this song is one of THOSE.

sit back,
close your eyes,
and
just.listen.

this shit right here,
has my soul screaming out for more.
feeds the soul music?

PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT.

due to certain events
in my life
that have recently taken place..

i have given up a sick "habit" of mine.
for good.
yes, i will repeat that,
for you non-believers.

MUNA !@#$%^ FUTUR
has given it up.


now since that is out of my life
all i have to say is..

SOJA.
Soldiers of Jah Army

these guys leave me speechless.
the first time i heard them play
was at the Roots, Rock, and Reggae Concert
on July 27th.

its sad
a lot of people probably
wouldn't give these guys the time of day
just because..
they.are.a.white.reggae.group.

:/

all i have to say to that is..
when you close your eyes
and listen to their music,
you don't see color
you just feel their soul coming through their music.
point.blank.period.


check this group out,
i mean not only because they are from..
yes, VIRGINIA.
but because, they will feed your soul.
guaranteed.

their song, Open My Eyes,
is playing on my page
for your listening pleasure.

i'll holla.

i dare you.

sometimes i feel like i am an old woman at heart. lol. i don't even think that is how i wanted to start off this post, but its 2 something in the morning and that's how its going to be. but yeah, i am pretty much a fifty something year old woman deep down. i say this because i find myself being different than a lot of these other females out here.

a big reason why i say this is my taste in music. i find myself listening to songs that my mom likes. HAHAHAHA. maybe its because my mom is like that and she has a good ear, or if music is just disappointing lately.

[do me a favor. open up your itunes real quick and put it on shuffle. listen to the first five songs that come on. if majority of the songs that come on talk about ass, titties, hoes, money, weed, or "getting out the hood", then there is a serious problem.]

the first five songs that come on my itunes when i put it on shuffle are:
1. A Rose is a Rose- Aretha Franklin ft. Lauryn Hill
2. Didn't Cha Know- Erykah Badu
3. Secret- Maroon 5
4. Every Little Bit Hurts- Alicia Keys
5. Gravity- John Mayer

now, don't me wrong, i'm not trying to dog anyone's game. i'm not that kind of person. on some real shit, i have and know a good amount of the new songs out today..but isn't it such a breath of fresh air when you hear a song that "feeds your soul", as i always like to say. maybe its just me, but i know that personally i don't like listening to hype music all the time. i got to have some Lauryn, Bob, Erykah, Alicia, John, Musiq, Common, ext. in my system. still having a hard time seeing where i'm coming from? watch&listen to this. i dare you to tell me these videos didn't hit the spot. i dare you.

hate to say it..but i told you so.

remember that "feed your soul" music
that only some artists can make, that i wrote about earlier?
well, he is one of THOSE artists.



i'll holla.

a new chapter.

so, i'm leaving soon. 12 days to be exact..not that i'm keeping count or anything. man..college! all the times you talk about it, the time has finally come. i remember back in the day, in my kid days--hahaahah i say that like im not one anymore-- i used to talk shit about how "when i go to college, im going as far as i can get, california or something. crazy how shit changes huh? now, sometimes i even think richmond (an hour and a half) is too far. this time has to come regardless of how long i take packing up my room. maybe i should get on that.. i wish i was like sabrina the teenage witch lol and all my shit will pack itself when i do that little finger thing. but on some realness, i need to start a new chapter in my life. i need to grow more as a person and changing my enviornment is just the way to do that. i mean.. "life is a thing when you learn you grow" --right aden & damian? ;D
-most vicious tatt out there. aden k.'s. STAMPED. don't jock.-

despite of what most may think, im not going to miss everything about the way my life is. okay, let me rephrase that. im not going to miss EVERYONE. there are just those special few. without a doubt my main ones, the moms and rocky. jeeeez i dont know what i am going to do without them. seriously. and fuck everyone who thinks that a dog is JUST a dog. i'm pretty sure that whoever rocky has come in contact with, he has changed their perception of dogs. hes family, and i.dont.care.if.you.think.otherwise. and my mom, well my mom is like my best friend. everyone wants one of those "tell your mom everything, actually WANT to hang out with her, ext ext" relationships. well.. i have one of THAT kind of mom. thats my giiirrrl.


then theres, aden k. maaaaaan, i don't even have to say i'm going to miss her because our friendship has been through thick and thin. once you've been through what we've been through, then there are no worries. shes the one person that i can say anything to without them being like "what the fuck is wrong with this girl" because shes probably thinking the same exact thing. i am more of myself around her than anyone else in this world. i really think that i was destined to know her because she really has changed my life in more ways than she knows. [let me stop talking about her like she won't ever read this because i know she will! so i will talk TO YOU and not ABOUT YOU] aden you are the one who experiences things first for the both of us. if that even makes sense. whenever something happens to you, it almost always happens to me later. i love how when it happens to me, you try your best to make it easier for me because you know how it was for you. and i love how you are always there for me whether you are ten minutes away or two hours away. i don't even know why i consider you to be my best friend, when you more like a sister. better yet, you are BOTH. best.of.both.worlds. fuck it, i'm done.ooooh then of course theres the looove of my liiifee, you aree my friiiennd. looove of my liifeee on yooou i can depennddd. awet.futur-hahah soon to be :D a lot of people have told me that me leaving and going to school will "really test our relationship" and "maybe its better to go to school single" well you know what? regardless of how far we are going to be, or all the temptations.. i am not worried. of course, i am going to miss this man more than he or anyone else can imagine, but when it comes to seeing if we can last- im.just.not.worried.

----a friend of mine from work, Too Fresh- as i call him- and i were having a conversation today about relationships and such. and he said something that really summed up how i feel about awet. he said, "i know we are going to last, because i can just see us together. you know how you can just see yourself with one person and not with others? well, i see us together awhile from now." --of course he was talking about his adorable girlfriend, but it was just so true. ----

awet is the one that i see myself with years from now. and yes, i mean years. he's my little hood thang and i love him with all i have.
if you can't tell by now, i am completely avoiding packing up my stuff. oh well, this time had to come sooner or later! by the way, there are a couple more of you that i will miss, don't worry i didn't forget you. you will get your post soon :D

see you later fairfax station, hello richmond.

i'll holla.

my everything.

i'm going to miss this one right here.

time for a change.

it is about that time..

that i need to

Tribute to Bob Marley.

Feat. Stephen Marley, Damian Marley ;), Ziggy Marley

Barrington Levy, and Soja.

July 27, 2008 2pm- Wolf Trap.

i've said over and over that the Erykah Badu and The Roots Concert

was like nothing i have ever experienced..

hands down the best concert i've ever been to.

but this shit right here,

 might actually give my girl Erykah a run for the title.

plus..seeing my sexy boo damian

is just the icing on the cake.

i'll holla.

the legend goes on.

i have just found out something amazinggg. the legend herself, Erykah Badu is pregnant! Yesss! i reapeat...PREGNANT! i realize she has kids already [Seven, from Outkast member, Andre 3000 and Puma Rose, from rapper The D.O.C.] but i just excited when people with such greatness have kids and pass their gifts on. the father of Erykah's third child is her producer and her man Jay Electronica. 

shit, basically i cant wait until the name of the kid is decided! Seven.. Puma Rose.. Adidas..Nike..Eighteen.. lol we'll see. the fact that its Erykah Badu's kid basically mean this kid is going to have an outrageous name and be a musical genius. personally, i cant wait. 

i'll holla.

every 3 minutes & 30 seconds of everyday.

just browsing through youtube, i happen to come across this video. 

i've fallen in love all over again.

i'll holla.

a pleasant surprise.

so, im driving in shitty ass DC traffic and i hear this song right & i swear to you i literally STOPPED my car in the middle of the street. all these drivers started honking and flashing their lights at me, but i honestly didn't give a fuck. the song had a soulful sound over a reggae beat and in my mind both of these things only come from one artist. the queen herself, ms. LAURYN HILL.

-let me give you a quick understanding of my love for this woman. lauryn hill is the shit in my book. it honestly doesn't get much better for me. she optizmies everything i love in music. a distinct voice, true words, original beats- basically an artist that makes music that feeds your soul & ms. lauryn hill does just that for me-

so, here i am pretty much going crazy because i'm thinking that my all time favorite artist has a new song out. a thousand things are running through my head at this point. What's the song called? When did it come out? Is she going on concert anytime soon? How am i going to pay for the concert to see her? I need to get front row. God, i love this woman. ext ext. eventually the song ends, and i hear the dj shoutout Jazmine Sullivan. and im thinking..who the fuck is Jazmine Sullivan?? come to find out.. she is the singer of this amazing record. in my opinion, it is uncanny the similarity between these two artists. im not going to say im not disappointed that lauryn hill turned out not to be the singer of this song..but im all for new artists, so i decided to give Jazmine Sullivan a chance.

i went home and started to work on my research about this new artist. turns out, this "new" artist isn't as new as i had originally thought. homegirl has been around for awhile, but this song featuring Missy Elliot, really got her on her way. and to my disbelief..babygirl is only twenty-one years old and shes from.. yes drumroll please.. PHILLY. hahaha figures. i dug a little deeper and listened to some more of her songs. this girl is a breath of fresh air. a few more of her songs that i also fell in love with are Hooked On You, Season To Love, and Pressure. i was a little worried that the rest of her songs wouldnt be as good because they would be just her and no other artist. needless to say, she proved me wrong. she makes amazing music, even without having to collaborate with a well-known artist.. unlike some of the artists out here. oops! did i type that outloud? oh well ;D. this talented singer's new record is playing on my blog, just for your listening pleasure. basically everyone needs to listen to some of Jazmine Sullivan's music and let it feed your soul. i let her music in.. and im not going to be hungry for awhile.

two bad mama jamas

on may 15, 2008.. i went to possibly the BEST concert of my life. ERYAH BADU & THE ROOTS. it really just does not get any better. there is no way to describe the feeling of seeing a LEGEND doing her thanggg on stage and it just makes it that much better having my best friend by my side. this concert started out being just a present for aden and lets just say i never, in a million years, would have thought that i would enjoy it as much as i did. sure, aden and i were both a little blown that she didnt come out in her funky ass afro that we love or that she didnt play Tyrone.. but its Erykah Badu. she can do any damn thing she wants and she would still be THE SHIT. and want to hear the icing on the cake? ya girl booked WALE! ;)

let's not forget about may 10,2008..GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR! with the one and only, the man himself, mr. KANYE WEST. this man right here is possibly one of the BEST performers of our time. the entire two hours he was on that stage he OWNED it. someone please explain to me how kanye west has never been said to be one of the best rappers alive. [ralph lauren really WAS boring before he wore him] when someone has a legit answer for me, please let me know. i wasnt even supposed to be at this concert, but due to an unfortunate event.. i was there and i look at it as a sign. its funny the way things work out.

"lauryn hill said her heart was in zion, i wish that her heart was still in rhyming." me too kanye, me too.

how can so much good shit happen in a matter of FIVE DAYS!? life has a funny way of working out.

i'll holllllllaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Boop.

brown sugar.

once upon a time on a planet somewhere, a boombastic beat was born.. lets call her Hip-Hop.

I met him when I was a
Little girl, he gave me
He gave me poetry
And he was my first

But in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
'Cause when the tables turned
He had to break up

Whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice

But that is all behind me
'Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became the

Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like a simple true love

get lost in your memory.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
So, i am finally writing in my own blog! this just might be note-worthy. well, right now it is 11:49am and i am at home... hmmm i SHOULD be doing my english paper since it is due in about 35 minutes, but what is the fun in that? senior year is a JOKE hahah welll MY senior year is a joke. waatevva. spring break is in exactly 2 days! thank jeezus man. i mean its not like i go to class anyways.. but at least now i dont have to act like i am.

get lost in your memory. i've been doing that lately. i suppose it just goes along with the whole leaving high school thang. is college really in like fourish months? am i really going to leave!?! instead of going through the whole "im going to miss you so much!" phase i try to not think about it. i mean.. thats easier right? not dealing with reality always seems like the better answer. so i think about thinks like my friends and the dumb shit we do. i think i have the most diverse group of friends in the world. why dont i break them down for you.
first of all there is cara. she is probably the most beautiful girl i have ever met! no, really. shes pretty much the white version of me lol seventh grade and still going. cant forget
AB! everyone knows him as that sexy ass dude with that nice ass lexus ahhah (which of course is oh so true) but to me he is that weird kid that slurps at me and has the best personality in the world. then there is
alvin. me and this guy have been down since first grade and i swear we get closer and closer every year that goes by. fake study sessions while watching oprah? hell yes,last but certainly not least...










jeff. hahah oh man. just saying his name makes like two years worth of crazy shit run through my mind. lets just say, nobody can look so good doing an indianafricanmiddleeastern dance! who else get me to listen to a group called SARFARIsomething and get me to actually... like it!?


these four people have probably made my senior year and all the other years that ive known them WORTH going to school for. hmm i will find a decent picture of my school family and i will post it. its sad to say, i will miss those dumbass people.. but im going to focus on today and not tomarrow.










well i just cant NOT write about my bestest friend aden k. gideon. hm what can i say about this person? hahah what CANT i say about this person. so it all started somewhere back in 2004-2005ISSH. we met at a basketball game or online or at the doctors or at the mall or at the neighborhood giant. hahah I WILL NEVER TELL. make your own guess. lets just say, the first time we talked.. i better much new this girl would be in my life for-pretty much-EVER. i really dont know anyone else who is THAT MUCH like me. no. im not even kidding. without even saying anything she knows what i am going to say and what im thinking sometimes even before I DO. creepy much? yeah, i think so too. sure, we have had our rough times.. but what true friendship doesnt? the time i had without her was pretty much one of the lowest points i have ever had.. but we are back now and stronger than ever. you might be asking yourself why? well, thats easy! because... we are having XES! not together, you idiot! hahahahah oooooooooh yeahhhhhhhh baby! where da what you doing tomorrow getting some sex hopefully FREAKS AT ?!?! aden is the M&M to my peanut and damnittt i just want to go onto the rooftop and scream out "I LOVE MY BEST FRIEND!!!!"

now now, lets not forget about my soulmate. shigei bilen belay. this girl pretty much my other half. i call her my soulmate because i really do believe that we were destined to be friends. yeah, i believe in that shit. i believe in signs, soulmates, everything happens for a reason.. you know all the stuff like that. but yeah back to shiggy iggy. the time in my life that i really needed someone to stick by my side and not let me down, she was there. i might not tell her enough, but i want her to know that i really do appreciate it. the past couple of years, i remember pretty much anything exciting/funny/creepy/awkward/stupid that happened to me, she was the FIRST one that i called to tell. she has always had my back and always will. peanut butter &banana sandwiches? yes, please. i think ive been to chipotle with this girl more than humanly possible. shigei "soulmate' belay is my one and only bestestestestestetstsetstie and (even though she wont say it) I LOVE HER.


basically, i have spent this entire blog writing about my friends. once again, you may be asking yourself why i spent all this time writing about them and not me. the bottom line is, you dont know me until you know them. of course, those arent my only friends, but those are the ones that matter the most. i guess the saying is true its better to have a handfull of friends that mean the world to you, than have hundreds and hundreds that you never really get to know on a different level. i dont even know if that is a real saying, but i just made it one. copyright 2008.

its so easy to get lost in your memory and forget whats really going to eventually happen, but i have finally come to realize that im just simply not ready to move on.


until next timeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
