Coffee to Carry On

A cup of coffee sits on a white plate with a spoon next to the cup. Coffee cream takes over half the cup and the other half is coffee. There is a splash of white cream in the coffee side shaped like a fishing hook. Some people on a daily basis drink coffee to keep them going. Why coffee? The caffeine in the coffee is what keeps the people going plus it does not taste that bad, unless your drinking dark coffee. I believe there are two different types of coffee, your black coffee and coffee and cream. But there are hundreds of different flavors as well. Coffee is one of peoples first thing to drink in the morning when they wake up and millions of people have their routine of coffee in the morning then off to work.

Many stores sell coffee as well, Starbucks would probably be the most famous. As you can see the quote saying, "The best coffee for the best of YOU". That says it all right there coffee is what keeps people going and giving enough energy to get through the day. In addition, people spend a lot of money on coffee so why not sell is everywhere you go.

Mind Beating

Sometimes your mind can take a beating just like this man is literally getting his brain beating. A small solder is hitting a mans brain with a baton as his head is open like a CD player would open. He seems to be stuck on the computer but isn't too focused on it. People need that certain push from someone to keep them going or else they just simply wont care. Also, if they get too much push they can simply just give up and not want anything to do with you anymore. This man seems he is being pushed to do his work but just simply doesn't want to do anything on that computer.

Me myself, I like to get that push because he keeps me motivated and shows the person pushing me cares. My family always pushes me to do my work even though its so much I have to get it done.

You may feel like giving up most of the time but that little push you get from some one else may just be the spark you need.  In addition, if someone is pushing you too hard don't let it get to you because they are just trying to help you out. Stay motivated and let others push you and help you cause others don't even have that. Don't let that baton beating get to you but motivate you to do better so you don't get that beating anymore.

INK!!!

Ink, almost everybody has it on them from religion,tramp stamps, animals or even just for fun tattoos. This person has a Aztec print tattoo with a lot of detail in it. It is on his back and covers mostly all of it. The shape of the tattoo is sort of like a ping pong racket. It seems to be an Aztec god of some kind in the center of the tattoo sticking its tongue out. Also, looks like a piece from a puzzle is in there as well. Tattoos can have much meaning to you but can also have no meaning at all. To this man he may like the Aztec worriers and respects them because he has a piece of their art on his back. Tattoos are a way of expressing who you are and what you believe in. Others sometimes do just get plain dumb tattoos, then they don't realize its on there for life.

I my self have eight tattoos and six of them have good meaning to them the other two not so much. I hold no regrets in what I got it is what it is and I put it on my body. The ink I prefer to get is black and grey I'm not really so much a color person. I got my first tattoo when i was 15 years old, ever since then I loved getting them and now I'm working on a sleeve. A Sleeve is a whole arm or leg full of tattoos similar to Wiz Khalifa or Tyga (Rap Artist).

If you have ink don't be afraid to express it because it represents you and obviously you got it for a reason. Just if your a first timer be ready for the pain that comes with it and the nasty heeling process. Overall, it will look nice if you get it done by the right person and you will want more and more.

Money Management

MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

How much money do you spend a day? How much money do you spend a week? What do you spend your money on? Are most the spendings on needs or wants? These are some questions you may ask yourself if you want to save money instead of spending it. Break down your spendings and what you need to buy and what you want to buy. Also, what you can do is every paycheck put some cash in your savings and eventually it will add up. Another way to save money is instead of buying food everyday take lunch from home. Set limits for yourself and know how much you want to spend but still try to stay below that limit. In addition, don't let your wants mix up with your needs because most the time im sure you let your wants take over and end up spending moeny you don't have.

Soon if you keep spending money you don't have you end up in debt which can be a heavy load. Going over on your credit cards can be very stressful and mess up your credit as well if you don't pay your bills on time. People know what makes them broke but they still decide to spend money. You can be different and manage your money don't let the money manage you. 



Peope of Color Vs. The Judical System

Peope of Color Vs. The Judical System

Do you think people of color are more likely to be comvicted of crimes? I would say yes because most the time a colored person will get arrested faster then a white person would. One main example I have was the trial with Casey Anthony who was trial for the murder of her baby. She was proven "Innocent" but the evidence was clear she was guilty, they let her go because of lack of evidence. Most people feel it was because she was just pretty and white. I know if she was a women of color no questions asked she would be behind bars. I ask myself plenty of time, why is the Judical System so unfair when it comes to ethnecity? http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/12/police-stop-and-search-black-people. This link proves that to you and shows how racially pathetic the system is.

While the colored get abused on the streets and hurt by the police the White man is smiling laughing down on the colored. White people commit crimes as well but the Judical System doesn't seem to care about it, but when it comes to the colored they are on it and will put you behind bars in a heart beat. The sad part is we the colored people can't do anything about it but let the system play as.



Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you? That is my question to everyone, what kind of person are you how did you create yourself as a person today. Yes we were all born out of our mothers but we created ourselves in style and personalities, so who are you? Let me describe myself I am a person who is outgoing, funny, athletic, creative, and all around a chill guy. I made myself this way I am not shy at all, I love shoes and clothes and I love sports. Thats the person I created myself to be, but you what kind of person are you? Everyone is different, everyone has different styles and personalities,life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.

You don't have to be like everybody else but be your own person and set yourself as a leader and let others follow you. Make sure you set yourself in a positive way because you don't want others to follow you in a negative way. It's never to late to to create yourself all over again.

San Diego Weather

Why is San Diego weather so weird? I ask myself that question every time the weather changes. One day it is sunny and one day it will start to rain. I have always lived in San Diego and the weather hasn't been as weird other then this year. We used to have seasons, when it was Fall it would nice a chilly and rainy this years fall is sunny then cloudy just plain weird.

San Diego does have the best weather of course but why is it so weird and always changing? You can never know what weather is going to look like tomorrow, you have to just wait till the day of. Even the day of, it can be cloudy and drizzle a bit but once it hits 12 o'clock its 75 degrees!!

No matter how weird and crazy the weather is in San Diego I will always love my hometown because there is no place with better weather.

WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER

"If you never failed you never lived"

Many People have to fail in order to get better or do it better next time. To fail can be a good thing at times; it can give you that push to do better next time.

 I've been playing baseball all my life and I tried out for the City College team and i semi made it. After 3 weeks of practicing with the team I finally got cut and my heart dropped. I felt as if I didn't want to go to school anymore because baseball was really all I wanted to come for. But if I think back I didn't try hard enough and I could have done better, so now I have to wait till next year and try even harder. I take it as a lesson learned.

 Everybody fails,don't feel like it's the end of the world Michael Jordan was cut from the high school basketball team who would had knew that. He is one of the greatest to play basketball till this day that fail must have motivated him a lot.

 In addition, I would have to agree that if you haven't failed you haven't lived because when your under pressure on the edge of failure you don't know how to handle it and won't know what to do. Finally, if you fail in something don't let it put you down, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The Real World

 The Real World

Mr. McCullough presented a keynote speech to the graduates of Wellesly High School. In a very blunt, ttruthful, and seemingly humerous manner he expressed the harsh realities of the world.

For example, he compared the commitment of marriage to the commitment to graduate. Well have a choice in which we choose as a partner the same way we have a choice in the carrier we might chose. 





The most important aspect of a carrier and real life is one's ability to push through and make sure they succed. Additionally, Mr. McCullough sort of demoralizes the graduates telling them that they are not special at all that now they are off into the "The Real World" where no one is there to pamper them or tell them what to do. He wanted the graduates to see that on paper, everyone is pretty much the same and that's it's their character and work ethic that will make the triumph. Mr. McCullough adds that by setting higher standards for themselves they will stand out more and dominate whatever path they choose.



It's not just about winning or lossing, passing or failing; it's about the journey you want to take yourself on and how fulfilling you want your life to be. In closing, he leaves them with the importance and the value of a higher education and doing whatever must be done to one day be the outstanding one-A reminder that hard work and dedication will pay off.

Everyone Deserves Flowers

Flowers for a Friend

Elvia Bautista lost her brother from Gang Violence. Elvia Explains that everyone who is dead deserves flowers on their graves. She feels without flowers or anything, it's like the person has been forgotten. Almost every day Elvia takes flowers to her brother Rogelio's grave. Weather it's candles, flowers or images. (Remebering all the Boys)

 Rogelio was 18 years old when God took him away, thats the same age God took MY friend away. I agree with Elvia that the dead should always have flowers on their graves. It will make the cemetery look less plain. If everyone one has flowers it will actually look like a peacful place for the dead.

My friend Pablo Baltierra died in a car accident on April 22, 2012. I try to take flowers to his grave every time I go because it shows I still care. Every time I go, there is something there so im not the only one who cares but I just hope it goes on forever. My boy is gone but never forgotten, so by bringing things to his grave shows we are missing him and nobody has forgot about him. Elvia just wants her brother to know he is always being missed just as every body elses lost ones.
