A Weekend of H.A.V.O.C.

HAVOC is definitely the best way to describe my weekend.

In a good way of course.

The first blessing is that I did not have to punch in at work.

High Five!


The second blessing is that one of the best mid-major basketball rivalries was scheduled for Saturday with VCU taking on Old Dominion. Now for those that know me very well as being a student at this fine university rockin' the black and the gold...you know how excited my Saturday was going to be!

There was so much school spirit flowing across Monroe that you thought that we beat Kansas and that we're rushing Broad Street to celebrate going to the Final Four....again. Yeah, that's how much; It was a fun day to be a Ram fan.

Before, during, and after the game I enjoyed myself to the fullest. From pre-gaming with some of my close friends mixing breakfast creations alongside with waterfalls and Mario Kart (you know..typical college stuff) all the way to the actual game itself. Which by the way we won 61-48 just in case you were actually wondering about that statistic.

It was a glorious Saturday. Sunday was what I liked to call Lazy Sunday since I really didn't feel like doing anything but get food, watch sports, play video games, hang out with my girlfriend, and sleep....lots and lots of sleep haha.

Cheers to the Weekend.


Cheers to today which involves myself and a busy schedule involving work, class, and yet another basketball game to attend to.


Nothing but some good ol' fun for this kid today!


Probably gonna substitute the waterfall for some actually water today...don't want to go to overboard.


Enjoy the start of your week!
Ttyl.

....GO RAMS!!!

Dream, Work, Hustle, Conquer. (On Tap 47)

Rome wasn't built in a day.
Neither was the United States.
Or the Golden Gate Bridge.
Or New York City.
Or I-95.
Or a family home.
Or an automobile.
Or a human.

See what I'm getting at? No? Simply put...things take time and a hell of an effort and work load in order to be a success.

Only a few things come as handouts but in order to get the fruits of whatever it is that you are dreaming of, you must be dedicated.

You must be able to figure out what it is that you need to do.

And finally...you must actually do it.


Dream big, work harder.

Weight Of The World

Don't let the world put a burden on yourself.
Let the world be your playground, not your graveyard.

We all have strength.

You don't need a chiseled chest or a ripped back or 22 inch pythons on your arms to show the world that you have strength. All these upgrades might be impressive on looks; it don't mean a damn if you don't have any will, power, or heart to back those up.

Strength lies within every single person on this planet. It can be physically or mentally and yes you can have both! They are shown during times of joy and ecstasy but they are a godsend in times of horror and doubt.

So which is it?

Do you want be see as a weak minded organism or can you visualize yourself as being a godsend?

A person that mops around in grief and false hopes when things go south or someone that picks up the pieces and rebuilds towards making something achievable?

You want to let the world define you or do you want to let the world know how you define yourself?

It takes confidence. It takes character. It takes swag. It takes strength.
