The Learning Tree…

There have been a variety of learning experiences I have either gathered or have had reinforced over the past week or so… again more bullet points, I think this is what my life has been reduced to:

- Real and true family and friends are always there for you… without them, I think I’d be sitting in front of Sproul Fountain talking to myself or standing on top of a bucket yelling “happy, happy, happy.” I am truly thankful and blessed to have good folks in my corner.
- It is true that the people you love and care about always go away, and the folks that bring bullshit and drama never leave… how can you correct that?
- Chain letters make me laugh and smile… although some folks get annoyed by them, it’s a nice diversion from all the stuff that is driving me crazy… please keep sending!
- The things we want in life always come with a little pain… this is definitely true for all of our goals, desires, and passions, but I am mainly referencing my teeth… these shits hurt!!! I went to the orthodontist the other day and they changed the bottom wire in my braces… I have been reduced to eating mashed potatoes for the past couple of days. I tell ya, braces are the best diets ever!
- I know a few people going through this over the past week or so -- Trust is a very hard and complicated little item, and when you break it, you can really fonk somebody over… I have no clue as to why people fall into traps where they do shady things to other people. Maybe they have a memory lapse or a mere brain fart that makes them forget how their stupid actions is gonna hurt someone. Or maybe there is no excuse for their stupidity and selfishness and you begin to question how much of your interest they had in the first place… what do y’all think? I can only kick myself for all the dumb stuff I fell for from people I thought were friends… argggg!
- I am old. I mentioned the game hacky sack to my dance class at the YWCA, and they looked at me like I was crazy. There is definitely an age gap growing here, and I don’t like it!
- Awesome ideas and opportunities only happen once in a blue moon… so why am I dragging my ass to take it?
- “The Shield” is a bomb-ass show! I wonder when Mackey is gonna get his???
- Updating my blogs take more of an effort than it used to… when I am done with all the stresses in my life, maybe the wisdom and critical thinking that runs around my brain will travel to my finger tips and type up some knowledge that’s deeper than the ocean… or talk shit about Katipunero… whichever comes first… =P
- This weekend I’m gonna try and teach a hip-hop, kick-boxing fusion class at Gold’s Gym in Hayward… I’ll let ya know if it’s “The shit”, or if it was shit… let’s hope for the former.
