JAN 18TH.

[The view]

Last days of my winter break we're spent in New York City with the ORCL family.  We shopped 'till we dropped (or until we realized what we couldn't afford) and enjoyed our four day stay.  It was very cold that week but it didn't phase us at all.  We had a great time in "The bachelors pad."

My last days in Philly were spent catching up with a very close friend of mine, watching the Eagles hurt my feelings and (yeah, you guessed it...) CHILLIN'.

[2K10]

      My breaks been ridiculously chill. (Excuse the repetition if you happen to follow the ORCL worldwide blog. But that's what it's been... It is what it is.)  Chillin'. That's all I ever feel like doing (with the exception of New Years.  My NYE popped).  2009 was beautiful, and I expect 2010 to be gorgeous.  This past year has matured me in ways I cannot believe. I might not be grown, but I feel like it.  And I may not have the wisdom of an adult yet, but I'm confident in my decisions.  I remember hearing "2009" as my mom described the year I would graduate when I was little. I never thought the year would come, but after acne, Girbaud Jeans and a scratchy voice, it came and left.  Progress is running through my veins right now.  All I want is change and success.  I seem to have a knack for keeping people around me with similar goals, which is also known as motivation.  With positive people around me and so much desire to succeed, I feel like me and all the people in my circle will begin to leave a deep impression on... something.  I just don't know who or what it is yet.  I have so much on my mind, and I never feel at ease until I get it out my system. On paper, on blog, or in conversation I have so many damn ideas that need to be released.  This year I hope to take every idea I have and make it reality.  I hate bullshitting.  If I say something, I'm going to try my best to get it done...  That's my word. 

      This upcoming semester will possibly be the most complicated time span I've ever witnessed in my about-to-be-nineteen years of life.  School x My first NCAA Tennis season is going to be a handful.  If you feel that we have disconnected over these next few months, please know that that is probably not the case and we WILL catch up when the time is right.  The reason my friends aka family and I are so tight is that we don't have to talk everyday to remain close.  When you have a relationship like that with someone, you know that they are your homies. All the people that hit me with that "stranger" bullshit, which I know I've done too, keep that in mind.

      On another note, if you have not noticed, I tend to freestyle these blog post on some 106 and Park, Jin type stuff.  I just decided that I'm going to make an "offdat" list since there is a lot of stuff I can see myself discontinuing in oh-dime.

#offthat 

- Fraudulent "boppers." (Word to Paul Wall)

- People's bullshit. I'm too nice to people.

-Nike sneaks.  I'm still going to rock the ones I have...  I'm trying to get my shoe/boot game up.

- Assholes (Except Reuben. He's my favorite asshole.)

- Procrastination (I think I found a New Years Resolution..)

- Gucci Mane (I was never #onthat though. My fault, Gucci fans. – Burr.)

- Opinions from people that don't matter.

- Selfish people.

I'll probably add more later..

Happy New Years.
