Pressure has been a very positive thing in my life lately, it has allowed me to push myself to the limits and also opened my eyes to things I need to work on. I love everything I am accomplishing but I am also too involved in certain activities, school work and regular work. That real life issues are being neglected and its all due to pressure. The pressure of providing a better living, making up for lost time, being there for my family and friends ( which is nearly impossible due to location,) and most of all being there for the one that has always been there for me. Life is busy but I am evolving and finally doing the best I can and it is starting to show whether it be good grades or better artwork I can see a difference and I am looking at things in a whole new light. I remember back in the day when the only pressures we had was figuring out where we could hang out that weekend. I miss those times, they truly were carefree times I always try to have fun in any situation because that is when you don't care about the stresses in the world. Whether you are playing poker with friends or having a romantic dinner with your significant other you rarely worry about bills or getting a better car, you are happy and having fun that is what I think life is about. I am going to start ending these blogs with a memory because that is what a journal is really all about. In junior high Jake Davidson had some of the funniest episodes one that will always stand out in my mind is when another younger student was giving out high fives on the bleachers after an assembly. There were safety rails so you would not fall off the side, the kid giving high fives was a man child he was about 6'2 as a seventh grader. Jake comes around the corner, runs, jumps and proceeds to hang from this kids arm for about a good minute, like a monkey swinging from a vine. You could see the agony in the kids face because it was being smashed into the safety rail. I remember laughing extremely hard, in fact Im almost cracking up just thinking about it, Ian Johnson was at my side to witness one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Just another day fixed my tires, but cant find my wallet. I feel that kind of lame things have happened to me lately, on the other side of things I have been studying a lot and am finally starting to feel like I am going to do well on the first test I will be taking on thursday in ten years. Weird for two reasons one, I have never really had this feeling because I never used to study and second, I have not taken a test in a decade. Played a lot of basketball at the club today with the kids and I gotta admit Im feeling pretty old, but I am still taking it to them and not being easy on them just because they are smaller and younger. Life is not always fair and if a couple of blocked shots might inspire them to try harder or step there game up, then we both win. I get the pleasure of throwing out huge swats and they learn that in life it is not always an easy lay in, sometimes you have to rise above and find a way to score. Ok, Ok huge swats is the main reason but I gotta have fun too !!!
Today is Easter and the fourth year anniversary of October and I's relationship, went to the sunrise service and had a burly breakfast ( Country Benedict.) It was great just like the first time I got to know her, and the first time I met Larry, her father. He was very nice to me the first time I met him even though I was a stranger and a lil under the influence. My brother Vince might be coming over with my nieces next weekend so I cant wait to see them, because I find myself missing family and friends more around the holidays. This blog represents the ending of a six hour study session between the two classes, probably the first time I have ever studied for six hours in one day. So in conclusion " four years babe we did it " and also I think photoshop is becoming a part of me, that program is the ISH
It is gonna be a short blog...... two things, first the Office t.v. show is awsome, Will Ferrel is doing great he is one of my favorite comedians. My favorite comedian right now though is Aziz Ansari, he is the truth. My type of comedian, I got a phone call from my best friend tonight and he told me a funny story about another friend that had some suspect behavior tonight. It is alright it is not the first time he has had suspect behavior. Reason being I miss my best friends, they make me truely laugh, I realize that I have not been truely laughing lately. I miss my friends every last one of them, even the ones that used to bother me. Luke Kisena
The other week our neighbors and also good friends conducted an experiment, or a contest if you will. The idea was to get tased from a taser gun and then there was a competition to see who could take it the longest. I finished in second to last because honestly, I did not want to do it anyway and I also did not want to be one of the only ones who did not participate. Everybody participated but it was Mateo who became victorious with a stunning 8 seconds, with October finishing second with about three to four seconds. The grimacing look on Mateo s face after that eight seconds insured me that I was not gonna ever or did I want to ever break that record. When I announced that I would do this none other then my own girlfriend shouted " I will do it," moral of the story is a relationship must be strong if you are willing to get tased by your significant other. Thanx babe !!!!!
The fourth blog edition 104/17/20110 Comments Edit | Settings | DeleteYeah yeah it is late, so what I do I say to keep people reading, through life you meet people you naturally connect with. When that happens it is a constant reminder that there is people out there like yourself and there is alot of people that are more entertaining then you....... when you start seeing that happening that means one thing. That thing is, you are not the only person that can control a crowd, be open that someone might be a little more suave then you. Meeting new friends really makes me miss the old homies, I also am gonna do better to get the lady and I back to the level when we first fell in love. October I love you more then you will ever know ...... I put in writing so if you ever have doubts, I have nothing but written proof. Just to remind you I am here and love you more then I ever have even if it feels we are not on the same page I am more in love with you then from when we first met. Almost Easter you know what that means. Life is crazy and I will say ..... it is starting to move reallly fast, really, really , fast !!!! Add Comment The Third Blog edition 104/09/20110 Comments Edit | Settings | DeleteThe first Saturday after the first week has been great. The week flew by, cant believe how quickly life happens. It has been a very constructive week, I understand why I did so poorly in school previously is for the simple fact that I was too distracted to absorb information. I also was very close to full time hours this week with both jobs, gotta give this chance to thank God for blessing me with two jobs. One of which I get to work closely with my girlfriend (October Van Selus) and allows us time together, which seems pretty rare these days especially in the Summer when the B & B gets to be its busiest. The other getting to work with teens and also allows me to be a kid again doing all kinds of activities and trying to do my best to help prepare the youth for real life situations and most of all to be respectful and do the right thing. Life is quickening I often find myself thinking I have not done enough today, but since having these thoughts I have accomplished and finished more projects. So even if it causes me to be restless but also helps me towards my goals and to do the things I love to do anyways then Im all for it. Add Comment The Second Blog edition one04/07/20111 Comment Edit | Settings | DeleteThis is my new journal, I was at work today and I heard a teen whisper did you steal these cookies they were eating and he said yes. I called him out and he said he was kidding, he is one of my favorites so I want to believe him but I am on the fence. I also learned how to ride a rip stick, which is a two wheeled skateboard thing. It was phenomenal I suggest anyone who gets a chance to ride one to do it, it is easy to pick up. When people lie they think you cant tell, but given enough time with certain people you pick up on there tells and the truth is clearer then day.
