The Dance

The girl.
The guy.
The meeting of the eyes.
He winks.
She smiles.
The great thump of the hearts.
He greets.
She laughs.
The dance is on.

"Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but they're really not. They're companions - the hero and the sidekick."  - Laurence Shames

"# of Friday the 13th movies - # of Jaws movies = " And then they'd give you the answer.  Aight, so I went to buy popcorn, and when I get back, my sister asks me, "Hey, u know what flying monkeys minus three austin powers movies equal?" I said nope ... and when they repeated the slide it read:
"_ _ _ _ _ _ Monkeys - # of Austin Powers movies ="
LOLOLOL For you slow people, it was the movie twelve monkeys lololz.  That shit cracked me up.

Oh yeah on Thanksgiving my sis brought up another funny thing when she pronounced the soda, "Schweppes."  She said it "Shwepez," while I pronounce it "Shweps."  Then when I laughed at her she said, "Shweepez?" lol Then "Shwepeez?" LOLOLOLZ Good stuff ...

We were eating lunch, and my principal goes up to our table, holds out his hand, and says "Happy Birthday," to one of my friends since it was his bday.  Then Jake (the b-day boy) says in reply, "CHEESE!?" LOLOLOLOL OMG You had to be there, we were crackin up for like 10 minutes straight after that.

"The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. If someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I had hidden it.  Good magic trick, huh?"
- Jack Handey

lololol Yao my lil sister sometimes comes up big on making me feel better.  On my dry eraser board I just saw what she wrote there:
"This is how a google looks like.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000"

LOLOL She did a lot more zeros than that but it's sooo funny lolz.

AAAAAAAH!  You know what I hate?  The morning hardon.  Argh that shiz sucks ash.  Cuz then I have to get up, and it's FRICKIN HARD (no pun intended) to take frickin piss for goodness sakes!  AAAAH!  Shoot, I gotta practically bend over all the way and lean against the wall to take the damn piss yo... shooooot.  And you know what's worse?  The damn hardon doesn't go away for a long time unless you take the piss.  So it's either piss or have this hardon in your pants and walk around all uncomfortable and shiet.  lolz Ah wellz it's all good now.  hehe So how was YOUR morning?

Life's short.  Life can change in an instant.  Just today, my best friend Chui got hit by a car.  It wasn't head on (thank God he wasn't hurt badly), but just think if it was.  I would have been less one best friend, life would be drastically changed.  Each time one wakes up in the morning, each time one steps out the door, each time one goes through a day, there is potential to change the world.  This may come through in negative or positive ways, but the important thing to know is that one CAN make a difference.  Just talking to a random person, or even just smiling at them can make a difference.  Who knows, it may just be a depressed guy who was thinking about killing himself when get got home that night, but when he saw you smile warmly at him, it gave the dude a glimmer of love and hope that he may have not seen in the world.  It could be an old lady that hasn't had a decent companion to talk to in quite a while, and if you take the time out of your day to just have a small 2 min convo with her, you just might make HER day.  Maybe it could even be that hot girl who is around haters and posers all day who would just like to be appreciated for once, and by giving her a true smile for no reason at all, her faith in the geninuity of her peers could be restored.

All I'm saying is, you gotta take charge of life.  You must put away the  (someitmes groundless) fear of becoming outcast or a possible failure, and embrace them instead.  There is always going to be someone out there in a worse situation than you, so take advantage of it.

Live your life to the fullest, keeping in mind the necessity of being genuine with and caring for people, because when all is said and done, the average person will not be remembered for what he did or said, rather on the number of ways he affected the lives of those around him.  If you had one day left to live, what would you do?  No Fear.

in english class we had to rectie our poems.  Shoot I was soooo fuckin nervous that my legs were weak and everything... so I messed up the first time I tried to recite it and couldn't remember the rest of the words halfway through.  Then I came back with a fuckin vengeance and blew the competition to shreds with a performance that even my english teacher commended me on.  While the class was clapping I yelled out "Yeah Bitch!" Yup, I was that pumped yo.  Fuck yeah!  Woohoo!  =)

P.S. The poem was The Poison Tree by William Blake

The bastard child lies in the crib

The bastard child lies in the crib
crying for it's mother in the night.
Mother's annoyance grows
so much to disturb her;
And she becomes angry
to the point of frustration.
But as the infant suckles she knows
her suffering is worth it all
and this little bastard child on her breast
is God's ray of light in her darkness.

Happiness?  Knowing you've made a difference.  Or at least trying to do so.  That's what I wrote my college essay about lolz.  It's a work of art if you ask me, and it's something I feel very strongly about.  The one occassion I used for an example was a time last week when I was getting off the metro at 103 street w/ some friends and I saw this middle-aged mexican lady struggling to carry her humongous stroller up the stairs.  My friends just passed the lady up and when I saw her I knew it would make her day to help her out.  So I did.

That's what's fuckin wrong with the world today yo.  Whenever you go on the bus or train you see all these peeps with blank looks on their faces.  Nobody recognizes the other as a human... everyone looks like they're staring at a wall even if there's a person looking right back at them.  It fuckin pisses me off... we're humans, why can't we express ourselves, get out there and meet new people, rather than staying in our own little worlds, in our own little cliques?  It's a question I can't answer, but I can at least do my part to change someone.  I know I did so with that lady, even if it was temporary.

One of my students wrote in his letter to God: "Hi God, it's me.  I want socks." LMAO

Joana: "OMG I'm scared, this lady is in the bathroom and she might be dead!"  LOLZ Dayum yo, all the girls were all going to the ladies' bathroom to check on the lady.  Dammit, she was prolly just having a hard time crapping and she didn't want to be bothered... I mean, if I was taking a shiz I wouldn't want anyone peering in on me lolz

Arrite, so today was the last day of CCD classes so most of Eb's and my time was spent grading last minute stuff for our class... some funny ass stuff in just that:

One question was something like would it better to a. pray or b. destroy things? LMAO

Another question was something like (circle the answer) (Reconciliation, Jesus) is the sacrament of forgiveness.  And then the kid circled "forgiveness" lmao!  It wasn't even an answer for goodness' sakes! lmao
